{| 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...

[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.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

Do they have giant fangs?

[She gestured with her hands to her mouth.]

[ntjstapwn]

They look like giant fangs to me.

Oh, I think some tigers that used to live a long time ago did, but they died out.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[There's a bit of a giggle as she dropped her hands down.]

They died out? That sounds awful.

[ntjstapwn]

*He shrugs*

Well, it was one of those every-few-thousand-years mass extinction sort of things. So they were gone long, long before I was born.
They lived during the ice age.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[She scratches her head.]

Weird. I never heard of an ice age before. Your world is really different from what I'm used to.

[ntjstapwn]

Huh. I guess they must be.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[There's a nod.]

Ah, you can pick another track and what to use, if you want.
