--75

[earthen_hope]

It looks like all of the strange gadgets and things have gone away. That's too bad. I really liked the look of some of them! I bet it would have made following some of these signs more interesting if we could use a wind-up hair dryer with giant gears to get the job done, don't you think? And all the outfits were really snazzy too.

Speaking of gadgets--I've got that space heater, Above! I'm sorry it took me so long. I only remembered the other day, what with the zombies and everything.

Oh, and just so everyone knows, if you see me calling myself Cara it's because of Lix. He's from the same place as me! But he hears my name as a chocobo's kweh, so I'm going to sign my entries with my other name so he can tell it's me.

It's almost a new year. I wonder what this one will be like?

- Cara

Oh, cool!

I'm not in the barn anymore.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

You're not? Where should I bring it to, then?

[azhdarchidae.livejournal.com]

It's [pause]

I don't want just anyone to know. How about you come to the base of the tree? Bring a rope.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

What the heck is a kweh?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

"Kweh" is the sound a chocobo makes!

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Really now? Here I thought they were just big chickens.

[pinkmoonrabbit.livejournal.com]

I'm sad to see our new outfits go too.

Chocobos make such cute sounds!

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

They do! When you go into the stables it sounds like a choir sometimes.

[pinkmoonrabbit.livejournal.com]

Wow I bet that's really pretty to listen to!

[ pause ] What should I call you now?

[longnosedliar.livejournal.com]

Kweh, huh...?

Wait, can you hear animals' natural sounds? I always thought that you'd hear them as if they were speaking our language.

[Pauuuuuse oh he's really thinking about this now.]

Unless... when you talk to, say, a chocobo... do you just stand there and go kweh?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

I hear the sounds they make like you do, but the difference is that I know what they mean.

Yeah. I don't have to, because they understand our language, but it's more polite to talk to them in chocobo.

[remember_cephiro]

Is this a fairly common ability to have?

[longnosedliar.livejournal.com]

Wow, just like a real language. Or a human language, I guess I should say... except not all humans have the ability to learn it, right? I'm jealous.

[He pauses to let his eyes flit over her entry again.]

It's great that you've found someone from your own world, even if he can't hear your name.

[teamwark.livejournal.com]

If the end of this last one's been any indication? It'll probably be tree-y.

[There's some pentapping before he responds to the rest of this.]

...so the kweh thing. That's. Strange, huh?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

I guess that's about all we can count on.

Sort of. It's not strange that you can't hear my name, but it is strange that you hear chocobo noises instead.

[live_ringer]

I won't deny the clothes were snappy. Can't say I miss having to deal with scads of gears and other oddities to get anything done, though.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

I liked them! It was fun to watch all the gears turning and clanking when I cooked things in the microwave. I think it's the first time that thing ever looked like an actual machine.

[live_ringer]

Seemed like a convoluted way to get from point A to point B to me, but at least you got a kick out of it, kiddo.

[dragonking.livejournal.com]

Strange. I feel like the new year should not be so close.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Really? When do you think it ought to be?

[dragonking.livejournal.com]

At least another month. But I suppose time might work differently here.

[forgotmyforge.livejournal.com]

He can't hear your name properly? How odd.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's something the Sphere does--it's pretty annoying. But it's not the worst thing to put up with.

[desertshadows.livejournal.com]

They were pretty interesting. I don't know that they really suit a place like this, though.

Chocobo? That's inconvenient. What's that about?

Sounds like a good time to celebrate.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

I guess they were a little out of place, but I still liked them.

The Sphere doesn't want him to hear my real name, for some reason.

I think so!
