Part XLIV

[thunderedge]

Fenrir: *sparkly chocobo eyes; staring at Cloud*
Leon: ....how many times a year do you feed her?
Cloud: What?
Cloud: I haven't even had her for a year.
Izzy: (....>.>)
Leon: ....
Leon: ...It's an observation on how frequently you neglect to feed her.
Cloud: .........
Izzy: (hah, even I knew that.)
Izzy: (Cloud:.....)
Aki: (Leon: ....)
Aki: (Leon: How would you like it if you were a baby like her, and people didn't feed you?)
Aki: ((Leon followed him into the parenthesis..))
Izzy: (Cloud: All right, I get it! Can we stop talking in parenthesis!?)
Izzy: (XD)
Aki: (XD)
Leon: Fine.
Leon: She looks ready to cr--
Fenrir: WAAAARK.
Cloud: ....
Fenrir: Waaaaaaaaark!!
Cloud: ......where am I gonna find food for her here....
Fenrir: WAAAAAAAAAARRRKKKKKKKK.
Leon: ...The Chocobo stable right there? *points a few buildings down*
Cloud: ....all right....
Fenrir: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK
Irvine: ....Now I get why she's so tiny..
Fenrir: Waaaarkkkk
Cloud: ....*picks her up and goes to buy food*
Irvine: If you wanna have a fine Chocobo on your hands, feed the runt.
Cloud: I don't think it has anything to do with food.
Fenrir: WAAAAAARKKKKK
Cloud: Okay, okay! Going.
Fenrir: *chewing on his pants* wrkk..
Irvine: ...and...you haven't trained her yet, have you?
Irvine: *following Cloud and Leon*
Cloud: I've only had her for a week...
Irvine: What kinda person would give up such a valuable chocobo!
Cloud: .......Zack?
Irvine: Some breeder that was.
Cloud: He found her wild.
Izzy: (Irvine annoys him. XD)
Irvine: ...
Aki: (haha I can tell XD)
Izzy: (Cloud's probably gonna start ignoring him, like he does with Barret and Yuffie...)
Irvine: What world are YOU from. ANY chocobos in the wild are rare to come across, let alone a gold chocobo!
Aki: (Irvine's just passionate about chocobos XD)
Cloud: ........
Izzy: (I noticed. XD)
Leon: I know eventually you're going to do this, but the sooner you start ignoring him, the better.
Irvine: HEY! That's no way to talk to your best friend!
Cloud: ....I figured as much....
Leon: ...I wonder what condition my motorbike is in…
Ester: *runs after Cloud and grabs onto the flap of fabric*
Aarao: *grabs onto Leon's hand* Don't leave us behind!
Leon: ...*stops for a moment* we won’t.
Tifa: *catches up* Really...where did you two learn how to run that fast...
Rinoa: *running behind her*
Ellone: *comes after Rinoa*
Ellone: ...Kids...
Ester: *clings to Cloud more*
Aarao: They said they wouldn't leave us behind.
Cloud: .....*trying not to fall over while carrying Fenrir*
Ellone: ...Well, I know Squall wouldn't. He's got that serious complex...but whatever…
Ellone: But still...is it okay if they go with you two?
Leon: I don't have a 'don't leave me behind' complex!
Ellone: You cried for DAYS when I left for a bit
Cloud: It's fine. It'll be easier to keep an eye on them, if they're really being chased...
Ester: Yay!
Aarao: Clouuud. Tell us a story!
Cloud: ...a story?
Aarao: Yeah! Your adventure story! Squall's is in the textbooks at school, but we don't know about yours!
Cloud: .....
Aki: Leon: *has a 'wtf, I'm in a friggin text book?' face*
Izzy: (XDD <3)
Cloud: it's a long story...
Izzy: (yours is only 3 discs, don't complain)
Aki: (XDDD)
Aarao: We have time :D
Cloud: ....*sighs* ....where would I start...
Tifa: *gives him a knowing look* How about the promise?
Cloud: Wh--- ....why would I start with that?
Tifa: Because it's important, isn't it?
Ester: A girlfriend and boy friend promise?
Aarao: :D
Cloud: We were only kids...it was....
Tifa: *folds arms*
Cloud: ......
Cloud: ...well, I wanted to impress her.
Cloud: I was only twelve.
Tifa: Thirteen.
Cloud: Do you wanna tell the story?
Aki: (Leon's secretly laughing XD)
Izzy: (XDD I love Cloud and Tifa)
Izzy: (can we say Cloud fed Fenrir, since she's not crying anymore? XD)
Aki: (She gave up..)
Aki: (she's like "I'm obviously not getting food today")
Izzy: (D:)
Aki: (I think Irvine's right though XD)
Aki: (lack of food probably contributes to her size a little)
Izzy: (what? Zack should have fed her properly)
Aki: (He probably did XD)
Aki: (I said 'contributes a little')
Aki: (she'd be smaller if it wasn’t for Zack)
Izzy: (poor Fenrir)
Aki: (she'd probably be dead, actually XD)
Izzy: (*feeds her* I'll take care of you when your daddy neglects you!)
Izzy: (well, he gets better)
Aki: (Fenrir: *wiggles and eats*)
Izzy: (oh, and can we skip forward a bit?)
Aki: (yep)
Izzy: (because you really don't wanna hear Cloud recap the entirety of FFVII)
Izzy: (you don't. Promise.)
Aki: (lol yeah)
Aki: (Ester actually probably knows a little more than they know, though XD)
Izzy: (XD)
Aki: (she's like, "...and he saved people, I get it")
Cloud: .....well, we managed to defeat Sephiroth, but it was too late. Meteor was already too close.
Aki: (awmigawd meteor XD)
Izzy: (XD)
Aki: (he's getting into the story telling, huh? XD)
Izzy: (a bit)
Izzy: (he's not exactly the greatest storyteller tho XD)
Cloud: But then, the Lifestream itself came out of the ground, and pushed it back....
Ester: *nods*
Aarao: :DDD
Cloud: all the victims, the people who had died...it was their will that made it happen.
Cloud: Their will, and Aerith's.
Ester: *grins*
Aarao: So, it's the wills we can hear?
Cloud: Yeah....
Aarao: Or memories?
Cloud: Well, it's hard to explain.
Cloud: But the Cetra can hear the voices of those in the Lifestream.
Aarao: Ohh.
Ester: I see--chocobo! *points to a chocobo in a stall*
Aki: (easily distracted, much? )
Izzy: (XD)
Fenrir: ...*sticks head out of the pocket*
Izzy: (oh no, Cloud's going to get bothered by people wanting him to sell her to them. XD)
Aki: (haha)
Aki: (there's a man there, that works with the chocobos)
Aki: (and he eats fried chocobo -this is taken from FFX-)
Aki: (He's totally gonna think Fenrir's adorable XD)
Izzy: (haha)
Izzy: (well, she IS.)
Aki: (yeah XD)
Fenrir: ...*blinks*
Chocobo: Wark.
Fenrir: .......
Cloud: *turns to Leon* Who are we going to see next, again?
Chocobo: Warrrrk. *looks at Cloud and Fenrir*
Izzy: (oblivious as usual...)
Fenrir: ........
Leon: .......
Leon: well, first we're feeding your daughter
Cloud: I know that.
Leon: And then we go pick up my teacher…
Tifa: Really, you should take better care of her...she's not old enough to take care of herself.
Leon: and we go see ...Laguna…
Cloud: ......is that a bad thing?
Fenrir: .....*staring at the chocobos*
Izzy: (haha, family reunion.)
Aki: (lol)
White Chocobo: *reaches out, and grabs the pocket*
Fenrir: waaaark!!!
Fenrir: *runs up onto Cloud's shoulder*
Cloud: Woah!
Aki: (I'll be Quistis... XD)
Izzy: (wait, stop going back on what you said. XD)
Aki: (You'd make a funny Laguna, though <3)
Izzy: (I should go read up on him then... XD)
Aki: (*sigh* I'll be him XD)
Izzy: (and you said he knows what's going on...)
Izzy: (>.>)
Izzy: (and since you won't TELL me anything)
White Chocobo: ...Wrk. *tugs on the pocket*
Fenrir: .......
Cloud: *at a loss at what's going on and what to do*
Leon: *speaking with the chocobo man about food*
Izzy: (Cloud is so useless. XD)
Tifa: *making sure the kids don't get into trouble*
Ellone: ....März...Stop that. *hits the Chocobo's beak*
Rinoa: *giggles*
März: Warkk. *lets go*
Rinoa: You're a popular guy, huh?
Tifa: *smiles*
Ellone: :3
Cloud: I think it's just Fenrir...
Fenrir: *hiding in his armour again, though effectively*
Cloud: Don't do that...geez...
März: warrrrk.
Cloud: ....you're gonna get stuck.
Fenrir: *shrinks down more, to tell him she's staying in there*
Cloud: .....
März: ........WARK.
Tifa: Give her a break, she's just a baby. She doesn't know any better.
Izzy: (what is März trying to say? XD)
Man: ...*takes a bite of his snack* Where's yer bird?
Cloud: .....
Aki: ("Let me see that pipsqueak! I can eat it, RAWR D: ")
Cloud: Fenrir, stop it.
Izzy: (D:)
Aki: (kidding XD)
Cloud: No one's going to hurt you.
Aki: (he wants to say hi XD)
Izzy: (XD)
Man: Where's yer bird?
Cloud: And that's getting...really uncomfortable...
Fenrir: .....
Cloud: ....*Undoes the buckle on his armor and takes it off, flipping it upside down so Fenrir is sitting in it*
Fenrir: *grabs the zipper, lands and darts under his pants*
Cloud: ....geez...
Ellone: ....Has she been socialized with other Chocobos?
Cloud: I don't know...like I said, I've only had her for a week.
Man: That'd be yer problem
Izzy: (he reminds me of Cid XD)
Aki: (XDD)
Izzy: (except a chocobo expert and not a mechanics expert XD)
Aki: (haha yeah )
Fenrir: *clings to the inside of Cloud's pants, at the knee*
Cloud: ....it's okay, you can come out....
Aki: (you could basically see her claws sticking out XD)
Fenrir: ......
Cloud: ....
Tifa: *kneels by him* C'mon Fenrir. It's okay.
Ellone: März...be nice..
Man: Mebbe you should put 'er in with another Chocobo..
Tifa: We're gonna get you some food, okay? *reaches out to try to extract her*
Fenrir: *clings tighter*
Tifa: .....almost as bad as Marlene when she's upset....*makes soothing noises*
Izzy: (Tifa is a super mom. XD)
Aki: (XDD)
Izzy: (well, she's good with kids.)
Aki: (good )
Aki: (XD)
Tifa: *reaches up and tugs Fenrir's pocket from Cloud's back*
Fenrir: wrkk.. *CLINNGGGGx44388397*
Tifa: *extracts her claws from his pants one by one and pulls her out, wrapping the pocket securely around her*
Man: ...that's...effective.
Tifa: There you go. *tucks her into Cloud's arms*
Cloud: .....
Fenrir: ...*just sits in there*
Tifa: She's just scared by new people. Like any other baby.
Rinoa: *fascinated by the whole thing*
Ellone: *giggling*
Leon: *amused to no end, pretty much*
Irvine: ....
Tifa: That means you've gotta be a good daddy, all right? *pats Cloud on the shoulder*
Cloud: ...............
Yuffie: *in the front with Ester, Selphie, and Aarao*
Man: Mebbe you'd want a leash...since she doesn't seem to be trained.
