[Cloud is not - nor will he ever be - a ball of sunshine. Especially since something big and yellow is making this sound in the background and trying to get Cloud's attention.]

Could I wish for a whole motorcycle or would I have to settle for asking for parts?

[Like hell is he riding this damn bird anywhere. No. Stop it. No preening!]

I'm not your baby or your - [He cuts himself off when he sees those words transmitted onto the page.

Hell.]

Just answer.

[She recognizes the animal that sound belongs to...]

Is that Bitey or Feathers behind you?

And as for your question, I think you can do either. I'm not sure, but like a friend told me, if it doesn't appear, then the castle can't do it.

[Dictated]

[animusangelus]

Those are their names? [Come on.] I'd have to say this is Feathers. [Because of the preening and attention to the details of Cloud's hair.] I won't be petting the other one if his name is Bitey.

[Well that's some good news.]

I wouldn't mind paying a price for a better mode of transportation.

[gottaknockhard]

You could probably tell from all the traffic.

[As in, there isn't any.]

[Dictated]

[rose_of_battle]

I'd be careful about that, if I were you. The castle's prices can be pretty high.

[Sheena hesitates.]

No one told you about the Chocobos? And if I remember, I was told Bitey got his name because of not wanting to be saddled.

[unvarnished]

If you want to wait until December, you might get a motorcycle. I asked for parts, but that's me. I like building things.

[ofhope]

Why not just test by asking first? Afraid the castle will slap you on the wrist if you wish wrong?

[Dictated]

[animusangelus]

They told me they were in the stables and needed someone to visit them. [And that's what he's doing.] I wouldn't be caught dead riding one.

[A long pause.]

Have you made wishes?

[animusangelus]

Doesn't mean everyone wants a vehicle.

[animusangelus]

Or they might give me another Chocobo and then I'd have a herd.

[animusangelus]

I'm not an idiot.

Nothing wrong with testing the waters first.

[unvarnished]

Maybe. I'm not sure you get to choose what gift you're given.

[animusangelus]

See? They'd want me to be a Chocobo breeder. I can feel it.

[unvarnished]

Is that bad? Those birds seem very intelligent.

[animusangelus]

It's annoying. [Like the birds. They think he's one of them.]

[unvarnished]

[maybe if you cut your hair, bro] You know, the more annoyed you get the more you'll likely have to do it. This place seems to work on sadism.

[animusangelus]

[Not happening.] I noticed. [So a wish it is!] It's probably safer to start with parts.

[unvarnished]

Much safer. I've been building mine when I have the time for it. It should be finished soon.

[animusangelus]

You have a motorcycle?

[unvarnished]

I have most of a motorcycle.

[animusangelus]

What's it like? Have you customized it?

[unvarnished]

Nah, I haven't done anything special to it. I do have a space for my typewriter to strap on, but that's about it.

[animusangelus]

[...oh.]

I didn't know how good I had it back home, I guess.

[unvarnished]

Yours was custom? I would've loved to take a look at it.

[animusangelus]

His name was Fenrir and he had everything I needed. [A place for his swords. All of them.]

[unvarnished]

The monster wolf... Good choice for a name. Mine was called Faran.
