1 Time Loop ☼ Video

[knightime]

[The first thing the video feed picks up is a ton of red feathers.]

Damn it! Get back here with that.

[There's some rustling before you see the face of a baby chocobo and Dave picking it up along with his communicator.]

Well, there you guys go. Dave fucking Strider got won out by this little feathery asshole. Said feathery asshole still doesn't have a name though, so this is where you guys come in.

Give me some good ol' name ideas and I might choose one to name him. As much as I love calling him feathery asshole, I don't think he really likes the name. And it would be fucking rude of me to keep calling him that. And it's kind of long anyways.

I had some names in mind, but calling him Bro would be really sappy and lame.

[He stops for a minute before talking as though he meant to say that.] Right. So give me your best shot. You'll probably see me around town with him by the way. [Dave ends the feed.]

Comments

[withoutasign]

Or because he likes you best.

[knightime]

Well, I am his owner. And I might be really fucking attached to him already. [Yeah, thanks random confessions.]

[withoutasign]

Not nearly as attached as he is to you.

[Was that a random confession? Signless can't tell, he just assumes everyone talks that way about their pets.]

[knightime]

I don't know. Anyone could have gotten him.

[He's kind of glad that wasn't the case though.]

[withoutasign]

Nope. This is serendipity if I've ever seen it. That chick was hatched just for you.

[knightime]

That sounds like bullshit. This place takes and brings people all the time. I could easily not have been here.

[withoutasign]

But you were.

[Sorry, Dave, Signless won't let you win this argument.]

[knightime]

Coincidence bullshit shenanigans.

[No. He is stubborn!]

[withoutasign]

What's a coincidence besides fate that hasn't made itself clear yet?

[knightime]

I refuse to believe that some stupid thing is in charge of me. [He likes the thought he controls what he does and says and what happens to him.]

[withoutasign]

Not in charge, really...

[Signless reaches out and gently pets the chick's head again.]

More like a guiding force, nudging certain things in the right direction.

[knightime]

So what happens when shit hits the fan?

[He runs his thumb over Game's beak absentmindedly. Good chocobo. Don't bite him, he is giving you pets.]

[withoutasign]

You accept, hard as it may be, that sometimes we don't know why things happen for a long time, if ever, and have faith that they happen for a reason.

[knightime]

Whatever. If shit happens it just means I fucked up somewhere. Good thing I'm a fucking pro at not fucking up.

[withoutasign]

That's probably for the best then, yes.

[knightime]

Wow. In the end we spent more talking about pretty deep shit when I just need to name my pet.

[withoutasign]

That happens sometimes.

[Signless gives the wiggling chocobo one last pat, then draws his hand back and smiles at Dave.]

Any ideas come to you while we were talking?

[knightime]

Feathery Asshole still seems like a good idea.

I might have to see if Egbert has any decent choices in names.

[withoutasign]

All right.

[Signless brushes off his cloak.]

I'll take my leave then, and let you consult with John. But remember... I want to hear some of your music, once you've got it set up.

[knightime]

I'll ask Egbert about getting some shit in here. Pretty sure he plays the piano and shit so it shouldn't be hard.
