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!]

[Gamzee laughs, his grip on the saddle horn relaxing by slow degrees the longer he stays on there.]

Woah. this is way fuckin' different from all like what riding the Ol' Goat were.

[stayb100ponyboy]

Yes, I'd think so!

[Equius gives Pounce a handful of chocobo greens for her good behavior, ignoring how Darkleer is following them and begging, and continues the walk.]

What was it like, riding your lusus?

[420]

Amazing. Like, sometimes he'd fuckin' take me racing. Only if I were on top of his pan though so I could hold myself onto the motherfucker's horns. You know, he done could fuckin' all get fuckin' out-swimming a skywhale if he were wanting to.

[Gamzee's face turns soft and pleased as he talks about his lusus.]

But usually, we'd just go drifting. I'd get all up on the motherfuckin' chillest spot on his back where it were all soft and we'd just up and drift on the fuckin' currents that were.

[stayb100ponyboy]

That sounds really nice.

[It does, too. Gamzee has no problem talking about his lusus, but it's rare that he mentions a memory that sounds as pleasant and positive as this one.]

[420]

[If only everbody had been blessed with an awesome lusus as big as Gamzee's. It was amazing for rides.]

Did you ever all get to ride yours?

[stayb100ponyboy]

When I was very small, I did. But then I started getting STRONGER, and I couldn't touch him without hurting him, so we stopped.

[But those memories of riding on Aurthor's back are some of the fondest Equius has, even though they've gotten grainy and dim with age.]

[420]

Too bad. But hey, like, you can all up and fuckin' ride this motherfucker, right?

[A pointed look in Darkleer's direction.

You know. Maybe. if he ever stops being a douche.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Darkleer is deeply offended by the implication here, Gamzee! He is a Very Good Bird, and Equius can ride him any time he wants! He'll show you! He'll show you all!]

I hope so. But if I can't ride him, I'll ride Pounce instead.

[In what strange, foreign country, Darkleer? In what country?]

I'm sure you two are like bros enough to fuckin' do that.

[stayb100ponyboy]

Heh. Eventually, I'm sure.
