why should i worry? why should I ca-aa-are?

[takesyoubytheheart]

Who: Mickey Mouse, anyone who wants some odd CR.
When: Late afternoon.
Where: Out and about the town.
Status: OPEN
Style: Whatever you please!

If you ever needed proof Vatheon is a most unusual place, Mickey has decided to prove it, although not on purpose. He's decided to take out his new pets for some exercise in the best way possible. So along the streets you'll see a giant clothes-wearing mouse riding an even bigger blue Chocobo, while a large grey hound runs beside them. Feel free to reread that sentence.

"Ha-ha, c'mon boy! I know we can get faster than this!"

The Chocobo squawks, and tries to pick up the pace. Mickey is wholly a child today, putting serious matters temporarily behind in order to have a few hours of fun.

[Actually, this isn't terribly weird for Rinoa. She's met Mickey, she's seen greyhounds, and hell, Chocobos come from her world. Though, admittedly, all three of them together is a wee bit odd...

Rinoa spots the trio near the marketplace. They're speeding by pretty fast, so she just waves to them with a big smile. She wouldn't blame Mickey if he didn't stop, but she at least wanted to wave to him.]

[takesyoubytheheart]

[But Mickey is a polite fellow. When he spots the wave, he whistles, and nudges the Chocobo with his foot to make it slow down.]

Howdy, Rinoa!

[sorcery_fledgling]

Hey, Mickey! That's a nice chocobo you have. Never seen a blue one, though.

[takesyoubytheheart]

Ain't he a beauty? Got him not too long ago, cause a friend left him behind. Name's Belland.

[sorcery_fledgling]

He sure is. I wonder who brought them here? They're from my world, so someone must have gotten them here somehow.

Belland, huh? How'd you come up with that?

[takesyoubytheheart]

They were from my pal Lea, and since he named 'em, didn't feel right ta go and change it. Belland's a nice name... though I woulda gone for Donald, h aha!

[sorcery_fledgling]

Oh, so it was the original owner's name. But why Donald?

[takesyoubytheheart]

Donald's the name of my friend back home. He's a bird that always wears blue!

[sorcery_fledgling]

[lfsjlkfsjdfs Okay sorry, she can't help but giggle.]

Well then, that'd be a pretty fitting name!

[takesyoubytheheart]

[Grin~]

That's what I thought! Now if Belland had a short fuse of a temper, it'd really fit...

[sorcery_fledgling]

A tempermental bird?

[takesyoubytheheart]

Donald's got the world's shortest temper, but when it blows, ya better duck!

[He laughs. He thinks he's funny.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Ahaha... sorry Mickey, but since Rinoa doesn't know Donald is a duck, specifically, that one flies over her head.]

I'll keep that in mind. Has he ever been brought to Vatheon?

[takesyoubytheheart]

Naw, haven't seen sight or feather of him. He should be back home with his gal.

[sorcery_fledgling]

That's for the best. He's where he belongs.

So, what are you doing out and about? Giving the animals a chance to stretch their legs?

[takesyoubytheheart]

A-huh! They were gettin' all fidgety, bein' cooped up. We could all use exercise now and then.

[Okay, dogs and chocobos are not unusual things to Xion, even if she hasn't had the pleasure of encountering them herself. Even the clothes-weraing mouse does not even rank on her list of weird things. But it's definitely not the first time she's come across someone who spurs that niggling sense of familiarity that she knows comes from Sora's memory, and she always makes a point of acknowledging it when it happens. Here in Vatheon they tend to be valuable allies and potential friends more often than not.

Despite all of that, it doesn't make her any better at actually approaching these people, so at the moment she'll just be casually stopping to watch Mickey and his animals wander down the street, looking like any normal bewildered spectator. Well, at least discounting the face-concealing hood.]

[takesyoubytheheart]

[He spots that coach, and whistles to get his animals to slow down their tracks. That coat either means friends or trouble, and he's prepared for both. He can't guess this who is based on their size, and can't quite see the face either. For now, he'll play it nicely, smiling as Belland the Chocobo is steered by his master to head for the girl.]

Howdy, stranger.

[sorcery_fledgling]

Definitely. Vatheon's not too great for animals in some ways. Aside from the island, there's not a lot of open space to run around in.

[takesyoubytheheart]

So I've been tryin' ta use what space we got. Not easy, but it's worth it.

[sorcery_fledgling]

What's this guy's name? [She bends down to take a good look at the dog. Maybe he'll let her pet him?]

[takesyoubytheheart]

Haven't decided yet. I wanna have somethin' both Minnie and me would like.

[Happy dog is happy and will lick that hand.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

Right. A name's an important decision to make. [Rinoa will make the most humanly possible resemblance to an ^_^ face and give him a good scratch behind the ears.] I talked to her the other day, actually! She was asking for help about a festival.

[takesyoubytheheart]

That's my Mins! She was probably talkin' about the Million Dreams Festival. It's one of the best times of the year, back home!

[sorcery_fledgling]

Yep, that's it! She was looking for volunteers. I told her I'd spread word of it, at least. Are you pitching in at all?
