[There's some flailing and sputtering, along with some concerned chittering from Tequila.]

Ugh! Again?!

[After more fussing and drying off, the Mithra speaks again.]

Oh... That reminds me. Jack, are you available?

GAH! Curse this thing with casting water on me constantly!

Catpaw? Hey! What's up?

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

Ah, not much. I've been busy looking after Tequila, he's quite a handful.

Do you have time to show me what a 'car' looks like?

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

I'm not doing anything so sure.

Where are you now?

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

I'm in my room, its on deck 12 with all the luggage.

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

I think I know the place. Not sure how...

[Aka Tyler's been there. Jack hasn't.]

Ah.. I'll meet you there? What number?

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

Sure thing, its 1251, but I'll meet you at the elevators to save you the trouble.

it astounds me how normal Jack is around her.

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

[Ding! Elevator~]

Alright. I'm on my way.

heheh~

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'll be waiting!

[There's a small chitter from Tequila and the door closing with her foot-steps.]

Re: heheh~

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

[Elevator rides are kinda boring when you're alone. Jack's fidgeting.]

Was that Tequila just now? Ah.. what is Tequila again..?

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

Yes, he was wondering where I was going and if I was going to be back soon.

I believe Kevas said he was a raccoon.

[She was already waiting by the elevators.]

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

[Ding! Doors opening~]

Raccoon. Wow. Does he bite or anything? I've never heard of one being kept as a pet before.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[She gave a wave to Jack and proceeded to step inside the elevator.]

Not really, unless he doesn't like someone. Kevas got him as a present from the captain, I think.

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

[Jack is kinda wow about all this. He puts the comm away.]

I know I shouldn't be surprised about all this, after everything I've seen since I came on board. But I still am.

[He smiles faintly.]

Race track was on deck 20 right?

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

I'm not really surprised, but then again I'm not from what most people call 'normal'.

[She scratched the back of her head.]

I think so.

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

[Jack mashes the button for floor twenty. Ding! The doors close~]

Nothing here is, really. Are there people like me where you're from or are us humans strange to you?

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

Humans? Oh! You mean Humes! Yes, there are, mostly in the nation of Bastok. I grew up there even though majority of Mithras are from Windurst and Kazham. There's also Tarutaru, they're very short.

[She pointed to about the shin region.]

Then there's Elvaans, which are very tall and have pointy ears. Finally, there's the Galkas which look male but supposely don't have any gender, which never made much sens-... Uh, I'm sorry! I'm rambling!

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

No, no. Keep going. This is interesting. I don't know any of these... [He pauses to find the right word.] Races? Species?

Humans are pretty much it where I'm from. I mean, there's animals and all but we're the only ones like us.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

Race sounds about right. Species is used for classifying monsters, well if you're a scholar or a beastmaster.

[She brought a finger up to her lips, her tail swishing to and fro.]

Oh? That's very surprising, but in a way expected. There's alot of Humes on board and a few Elvaans too. There was another Mithra at one point, I don't know where she went to.

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

[Jack nods. Right about then the elevator slows to a halt and the doors open.]

Come to think of it, I have seen a few long eared people around. Haven't talked to any of them though.

[He shrugs and steps out of the lift.]

I've been pretty quiet I guess. Though apparently I had a run in with Herz that I don't remember... I'm still trying to work that one out.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[She blinks.]

You were hurt?!

[Way to be oblivious Cat. The mage stepped out of the elevator and quickly casted Cure on him.]

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

[Jack stops, looking around rather surprised.]

W-what? What did you just do?!

[Sure he feels better and all, but healing doesn't happen like that where he's from.]

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

I just casted Cure, it should help with the pain and your injuries. I'm not exactly a White Mage, but I'm close to one.

[She moved ahead with a small grin before looking around the race track.]

Wow~ This looks different than the chocobo race track back in Vana'Diel.

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

[Jack scratches the back of his head. The stunned expression remains fixed on his features and it's a second or two before he registers that it's time to move forwards and stop gaping.

Catpaw's words are barely registered.]

Huh. Yeah I... wait. What's a choco-- whatever you just said?

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[She paused as she approached the race console.]

A chocobo? They're used for transportation and -- Oh!

[She pressed a button that summoned that bird. It kweh-ed and the Mithra lit up and ran over.]

This is a chocobo! You're a beauty~ I wonder how fast you can go.

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

[Jack's just going to stand still and stare. He's still adjusting to this whole 'other worlds' thing. Besides, there' a cat-person being all excited about a giant bird. How the hell is a guy meant to react to that?]

It's like a big... chicken. Emu. Thing.

[He really needs to start sleeping more.]

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[She gave a small chuckle before petting the chocobo more.]

Its a chocobo, its not like a cockatice or the rare birds you can find in Cape Terrigan. They're usually friendly unless you treat them badly.

[She glanced over her shoulder.]

Oh, are you going to call for your car?

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

[Jack steps up to where Catpaw is, cautious of the bird and not really sure what to do next.]

I'm not entirely sure on how this works. Press a button and it's there or..?

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

I think so. That's what I did, they must have used some summoning magic or something to have them appear so fast.

[She looked happy and her tail swished constantly.]

Maybe we should race! You in your car and me on the chocobo.

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

Race?

[He looks to the track, checking it out and genuinely contemplating the offer. Jack shrugs a shoulder and mashes the required button. Vroom. A race car appears. It looks like it's made for street racing.

Jack's jaw falls open.]

Whoa. That's-- really nice.

[Forget the chocobo, the car has his attention now.]

You know, that might be fun. Sure.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[She pauses once the car appears and she steps over to investigate. Poking the metal sides.]

So this is a car? Its weird looking.

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

[Jack nods and runs a hand along the top of the door. He's pretty impressed with the vehicle he got.]

I guess they would be to someone that hasn't seen one before. It's been a while since I've gone for a proper drive. Do you think your bird can keep up though? Cars go pretty fast.

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

[She gives a nod.]

They are quite fast, but can't out run a airship.

[She moved back over to the chocobo and it knelt down for her to jump on.]
