lockandkeyblade[Hey there, Vatheon! Time for a homely little broadcast of a cozy looking ... stable? Since when did Vatheon have horses? Must be new. The screen pans slowly, revealing a vast open field, bordered by a rickety white fence. Sora's voice speaks off screen:]
Hey guys- check out what showed up at Nostalgia Nook!
[And then woa! Fluffy yellow feathers invade the screen. The SFC shakes as the person holding it begins to laugh. Sora swivels the SFC on himself. His hood is caught in the beak of a rather large bird. Behind him are several more, nearly twice Sora's height and scattered throughout the field.]
They're called Chocobos. Some are pretty friendly. The guy at the stable? He says I can have one if I take good care of it! [Another Chocobo head bobs into the screen, nibbling at the end of a spike of Sora's hair. He doesn't seem to mind.] You can even ride them, but you gotta train em' first.
Oh. And when you sing, sometimes they'll dance. Watch!
[The screen swivels around, squaring on an unassuming Chocobo several yards ahead. Sora clears his throat, and begins to whistle a tune. The bird in question quirks its head at the SFC and surprise, surprise, it actually begins to dance! It bobs, sways, rolls its head, warking rather excitedly, drawing attention of other ones nearby who more or less begin to do the same.]
[Just when things start getting interesting, that's when it all stops: there's a loud, irritated wark right behind the SFC. Sora has halted his musical performance and the screen has wandered away from the dancing chocobo as if Sora has become distracted offscreen. Could be trouble...]
Uhh.... hey there... You want some greens, is that it?
I'm sure I've got some around here. Hang on a sec....H-hey!
Wait, what're you - Oh no!!
[The screen finally jerks around, catching a flash Sora being tugged backwards, his hood caught in the beak of a rather irate looking bird. The broadcast stops.]

Date: 2011-01-25 11:23 pm (UTC)[He swivels the camera around to show the Chocobo. It just gives Karkat a confused head tilt and a curious wark.]
[VIDEO]
Date: 2011-01-25 11:24 pm (UTC)No. And that's fucking final.
[VIDEO] LMFAO
Date: 2011-01-26 02:37 am (UTC)You sure you won't change your mind?

Date: 2011-01-26 03:10 am (UTC)Where the fuck is Nookbrain Alley or whatever the hell it's called?
[VIDEO]
Date: 2011-01-26 04:08 am (UTC)Okay, okay. I get the picture!
Nostalgia Nook. In the lower District. Behind the shop that sells Chocobo stuff, there's a path that goes down to the Ranch. I'm down there by the stable.
[Although he kind of hopes Karkat isn't serious about punching his face in...]
[VIDEO -> ACTION]
Date: 2011-01-26 05:02 am (UTC)Fine. I'll be there.
[The SFC clicks off, and after some while Karkat would appear in person at the stables, cursing and eying all these birds disdainfully. It doesn't help that they're taller than him, and he's no bastion of height to begin with.]
Sora? Where the fuck are you? Get your ass over here!
[ACTION]
Date: 2011-01-26 06:17 am (UTC)[There's a wark in that same direction, one Karkat just may recognize from the SFC. Sora's standing with the Chocobo, just inside the corral fence. He jerks his thumb at the Chocobo beside him. He'd probably have gone to meet the troll himself, but the bird had other plans. Sora's caught by the hood again.]
Look familiar?
[ACTION]
Date: 2011-01-26 05:38 pm (UTC)Fuck you for making me come out here. Now do I have to climb over this damn fence or are you satisfied yet that I'm not afraid of a fucking featherbeast?
[ACTION]
Date: 2011-01-26 11:16 pm (UTC)Thanks Disney.]A little sun's good for you!
Anyway, I believe you.
But you'll wanna climb over the fence anyway.
[ACTION] English grammar, how does it work?
Date: 2011-01-26 11:36 pm (UTC)[Poor Sora. Karkat has a mouth like a drunk troll sailor, and to think he's still not as bad as Gamzee.]
[Still, without much difficulty, the troll climbs up and over the fence, then hops down. He turns to face Sora... His mouth twitches, hand curling into a fist as his side... but he holds back from punching him just yet.]
So what the fuck do you want now? I'm not petting the damn things or riding one like a mechanical hoofbeast, if that's what you expect.
[ACTION]
Date: 2011-01-28 04:33 am (UTC)[Nope. No petting or riding. That'd likely end in disaster. instead, Sora holds out a strange looking plant in Karkat's direction, one which immediately catches the bird's attention.]
[ACTION]
Date: 2011-01-28 04:47 am (UTC)[But what's this plant? He eyes it and Sora, then the Chocobo watching it. He's skeptical, but when it looks like the bird isn't going to bite off Sora's hand or the like, he finally takes it himself.]
What do I do with it?
Re: [ACTION]
Date: 2011-01-28 05:43 am (UTC)Gysahl greens. Chocobos love that stuff.
[The bird shifts behind Sora. It warks. Anticipating.]
Go on. Try feeding it.
[ACTION]
Date: 2011-01-28 05:55 am (UTC)[Still, Karkat... actually gives it a try for once. So much for coming here just to punch Sora, and it actually appears that goal's been forgotten and abandoned. So, turning warily to the Chocobo, he holds up the plant.]
[ACTION]
Date: 2011-01-28 08:26 am (UTC)See? That wasn't so bad.
And would it seriously kill you to call me by my actual name?
[ACTION]
Date: 2011-01-28 07:34 pm (UTC)Sora. Sora, Sora, Sora. Now shut up.
[ACTION] 1/2
Date: 2011-01-29 06:46 pm (UTC)[Knowing this guy's going to be interesting, that's for sure. Still cranky about everything, but it's an improvement over the cursing. Take what you can get, right?]
Re: [ACTION]
Date: 2011-01-29 06:48 pm (UTC)Uh... Karkat?
[He motions past the troll where the Chocobo has moved in to finish the rest of that green. Unfortunately, it's gotten a little overzealous and taken Karkat's entire hand inside its beak. It's probably not painful... just... kind of scary to watch.]
