{| 040 |} Voice

Keeeeeeeeeeeevas! I haven't seen you in a while, I hope you didn't disappear and leave Tequila behind again.

[You could almost hear her pouting but the Mithra's voice picks up to a more excited tone.]

Oh! We should do a Chocobo race or just ride them around the deck if no one is up for racing!

[A pause.]

Uh, that's open to anyone who wants to come. Incase I wasn't clear there. Eh-hehe...

[ntjstapwn]

Heh. You too.

*Marco does not know the signal to start racing, so he waits along with the birds*

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[Well, there's most likely a sign post with the three colors on a normal race track. As the green hits, both Chocobos rocket off.

Cat leans down and foreward on her Chocobo, making sure she could still see where to go. Who was in the lead?]

[ntjstapwn]

*Marco gasps a bit as the chocobos start running. He grips the reigns tightly and leans forward like Cat does. He's not really sure why its needed, but that's how you see people do it when racing horses, so it must be for a reason.*

[Both Chocobos turned a corner, neck in neck with each other.]

Having fun yet?!

[She had to raise her voice so she could be heard.]

[ntjstapwn]

*Marco laughs and shouts back at her*

This is great!

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

Good!

[She only grins and cheers on her chocobo to surpass Marco's. There's a kweh and it inches foreward.]

[ntjstapwn]

*Marco's birdy is not winning! This cannot be. He snaps the reigns and mimics what Cat did, driving his to move faster as well. He laughs as it takes the lead...but doesn't have much of a grasp of understanding when to sprint or slow down, so will probably end up running his down before they reach the finish line at this pace*

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[Awww, poor Marco! The Mithra eased up with wearing hers out but manages to cross the finish line. She sits back and pats her Chocobo a bit, purring.]

Good job.

[She glanced over her shoulder.]

Is everything okay back there?

[ntjstapwn]

*Oh noes birdy, why did you stop? D:
Marco tries to nudge it forward more, but the chocobo eventually refuses to move anymore and just sits down, ruffling its feathers. Marco sighs, grumbles a bit, and gets off*

I think I did something wrong.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[She dismounted her Chocobo and stepped over. Glancing over the black one.]

I think you pushed it too hard, but it'll be fine with some rest.

[ntjstapwn]

...Oh.

*He remembered games where that was needed, and why that was part of why he preferred the games where you raced cars*

I'll try to remember that next time.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[There's a pat on Marco's shoulder.]

Don't worry, its not like its mad at you for it.

[Although her chocobo comes over and nuzzles against her.]

Ah, you look like you want to try something else?

[ntjstapwn]

Its not?

*Cause he thinks it certainly has the right to b--oh, wait, its a hologram or something, isn't? Probably can't feel anyway.*

Yeah, but its probably best to wait till later for that.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

It looks happy for being able to run like that. Some Chocobos are different than others, like people.

[There was another pat to the Chocobo, tilting her head in curiousity.]

Oh? How come?

[ntjstapwn]

*He laughs*

I was never really good at driving drunk. Racing drunk just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

That does sound like a bad idea.

[There's a blink and a concerned look on her face.]

Are you drunk right now?

[ntjstapwn]

*He shrugs*

Maybe a bit.

*That's a 'yes'*

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[Well, enjoy a strong Cure spell sent your way.]

Well, you're lucky that the Chocobos know how to get around.

[ntjstapwn]

*What? No, he wants to be drunk!
Marco sighs a bit; now he's going to have to start all over again*

Yeah, I figured they probably would. I think horses usually do on race tracks.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[Its no Esuna spell but it works roughly the same.]

So they're alike? I mean, the Chocobos and horses. Are they breed for racing?

[ntjstapwn]

*Either way he still needs to go back to drinking. Good thing it doesn't cost anything here.*

Sometimes, so I guess they're a lot alike. Only horses have hair instead of feathers.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

That's interesting. So they're similar to beasts then.

[She ponders this as she steps toward the control panel.]

[ntjstapwn]

They're mammals, like dogs and cats are, only a different species.

*He shrugs*

I don't know what you have in your world, though.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[She'd normally murmur about not understanding why there was creatures with the name cat / cats.]

Well, there's something similar, I guess? Coeurls, Tigers and Gnoles...

[She's counting on her hand.]

[ntjstapwn]

Tigers are cats--felines, rather. The ones from my world are, at least. I'm not sure about the rest of those.
