the one year anniversary is a perfect excuse to wrestle chocobos

[stayb100ponyboy]

[The video feeds turns on just in time to catch a loud crash and for the camera to be completely covered in black material. Then the darkness lifts, showing a view of a backyard, complete with a splintered, broken wooden fence and Equius, stalking a blue chocobo.]

[Does anyone remember when Darkleer was a chick and was small enough to ride around on Equius' shoulder? Those days are long past, and it's an almost fully grown, towering feathery asshole that is ducking and weaving, all while warking joyously, as Equius chases him around the yard with a saddle.]

Aha, you think I'll give up that easily? You're wearing this saddle whether you like it or not!

[Equius lunges, Darkleer kicks him in the chest, Equius flies backwards and crashes into the fence, sending more splinters into the air. It's hard to tell who is having a better time here.]

[OOC: it's my Vatheon one year anniversary today! Thank you, everyone, for a year's worth of amazing RP!]

((ooc: Congrats on your anniversary!!))

[Rinoa's just gonna watch and... try not to laugh.]

Good luck catching him.

[stayb100ponyboy]

[OOC: Thank you!]

[Huh? Oh, his SFC must have turned on. Whatever, he's got a bird to catch, so Equius just yells over his shoulder.]

Oh, I'm going to get him!

[In the background, Darkleer puts his head down, his feathery butt up in the air and waggling, just like a playful dog.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

Chocobos are notoriously hard to catch! Be careful...

[Especially since his seems to be the mischievous type, to say the least.]

[toreadorkabull]

Uhhh..

Would you maybe, like some help?

[stayb100ponyboy]

[The response Tavros gets is not from Equius, but rather from Darkleer. There's suddenly a large beak poking at the SFC's viewscreen and a very enthusiastic voice in Tavros' head.]

hi hi hi hi hi you're like the other one who can talk but your horns aren't as big but you can talk to me too and you're friends with the green troll who smells like cats i don't like cats one chased me when i was little but now i'm big big big and i can chase cats if i want to hi hi hi

[toreadorkabull]

-=gosh he's energetic!=-

I am! On, uhhh... all those things you just said. Hello!

[clownjack] I need more tav cr :|

[420]

Haha, no need to be getting your worry on, bro. They just be messing about like two real good motherfuckin' bros.

[Good bros always toss each other into fences and shit, right.]

[clownjack] all the cr, all of it :|

[toreadorkabull]

-=clearly it is the thing to do=-

Haha, okay. I just thought that, uh.. it would be a good idea, to offer my services. Just in case!

[420]

[Totally just sitting there and watching these shenanigans unfold, Pounce grooming his hair primly a saddle already on her back.

Just don't crash into him. Please. It would hurt and he would be sad.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Both Equius and Darkleer are being careful to avoid Gamzee and Pounce. See, he's not a complete feathery asshole!]

Once I get him trained [Equius pauses to wipe some blood off his mouth, from where Darkleer headbutted him and broke his lip], we can go riding together.

[Lunge! And a miss!]

[420]

Sure thing, babe.

[He is in no rush to ride. He has nowhere he needs to go that he can't walk to. But it is good to watch Equius have fun with someone for once. Better than watching him brood.]

[bestestfurrend]

Eeeee, Equius, Equius, are you and Darkleer purrlaying?!

[stayb100ponyboy]

I'm teaching him how to wear a saddle!

[No, Equius, you're mostly chasing him around the yard and getting kicked into the fence right now, that saddle is most definitely not being worn.]

[bestestfurrend]

Heehee, it sure looks like purrlaying to me! Oooh, are you going to ride him? Can I ride him too, can I? Hi Darkleer! Tell him to come say hi to me, Equius!

[video]

[bountyofthesun]

Ah! [Hideyoshi looks like he just won a prize - which he sort of did! He knows what this blue chicken thing is!]

A chocobo! Right?

[video]

[stayb100ponyboy]

Yes, that's right!

[Tackle.]

[video]

[bountyofthesun]

... yannow, they're just a bit more like big chickens than I imagined.

[awakenthegenius]

[Laguna starts laughing] I don't think that's how you do it...

[stayb100ponyboy]

Well, you don't know Darkleer.

[The chocobo's head bobs up at his name, and Equius lunges at him again. The bird warks loudly and tries to piledrive the troll into the dirt.]

[awakenthegenius]

Whoa!

[Now Laguna is right up in the screen to watch this]

I've never seen a chocobo do something like that before!

[video]

[alrighty]

A-Are you okay?! [Have a small thing sounding very concerned.]

If you want him to cooperate, you should get some greens for him.

[video]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius doesn't notice the video right away, mostly because he's got Darkleer in a headlock.]

Oh, he's been fed. He's just being uncooperative.

[The chocobo kicks Equius in the back to free himself, then prances away, warbling happily.]

[video]

[alrighty]

[... Well, they certainly seem happy fighting each other.]

No, um, chocobos like certain kinds of greens more than others. Gysahl Greens are their favorite.

Troubles? [Watching, leaning on a hand.]
