But Kiyomitsu will be at the designated meeting point at the designated time, carrying a little backpack where he's keeping extra treats for V the chocobo who they have to go adventuring in the woods to fetch.]
[He says this now, but one day he's going to wake up and V will have busted into his apartment or something.
That said, he'll start shaking his little food bag once they get far enough into the woods that it's hard to see Civilization.]
V! C'mere, V! We got a new friend who wants to say hiii!
[SILENCE.......
And then some ominous rustling in the distance. A few moments later, a grey chocobo pops out of the bushes with an enthused wark! and trundles on over.]
[ karkat is somewhat surprised that the chocobo doesn't look flashier. he isn't sure what "flashier" would mean in this regard, like maybe wearing a chocobo sized hat or something.
he also obviously does not hang around chocobos that much considering he just instinctively backs away???? ]
[ that sounds horrifying, but karkat doesn't want to seem like he is terrified of a chocobo? that's lame and also it'll be hard to race something that you're convinced is going to peck out your eyeballs. ]
Sure but if he bites my finger off we're fighting.
I'll let you chop off one of my fingers to be even. Fair?
[Clearly he doesn't believe this is an actual threat... Just look at V! He's got those big ol' funky chocobo eyes full of wonder and no murderous intent!
After a little rummaging, Kashuu pulls a banana and a bar of oats from his bag.]
[That seems to be a trademark move of Karkat's... He'll helpfully hold the banana out to drop into his hands, though.]
Then you can go second! Bananas are the dessert, he's gotta eat his oats first.
[To be fair, V seems very okay with this arrangement and immediately swipes the bar from his hand as soon as he even vaguely turns toward V. A HUNGRY CHOCOBO.]
Hey! Don't be mean to V, his feelings are very delicate.
[V looks like he doesn't give a shit. Possibly because he's too busy eying the banana in Karkat's hand... At least he's polite enough to wait and see if it's offered to him instead of immediately bowling Karkat down to get at it!]
Anyway V is immediately darting over to bite the top half of that banana right out of Karkat's hands. He warks happily! And doesn't even nab any fingers!! What a good chocobo.]
[Kashuu seems vaguely proud, somehow... He'll pat V's neck, too, as if to say "your appetite is truly impressive and I'm glad we stole you from that rando's backyard."]
But V seems happy for the extra attention, if nothing else. He has soft plumage, too! Despite living in the forest, Baren and Kashuu do take very good care of him.]
[ everything is a competition if you try hard enough.
but he will give v a few more pats before pulling away, still not entirely convinced that he's not going to have the most embarrassing death of all time. ]

no subject
leave it to me!
[REASSURING...
But Kiyomitsu will be at the designated meeting point at the designated time, carrying a little backpack where he's keeping extra treats for V the chocobo who they have to go adventuring in the woods to fetch.]
no subject
but karkat will show up not long after kiyomitsu does. he's ready to possibly die, lads. ]
Where's Chicken Little?
no subject
He's out in the woods. We keep him there so he has lots of room to run around without being cooped up in someone's yard or house or whatever.
[GESTURING and then turning to head out that way. Adventure time, come on grab your Karkats...]
no subject
And he doesn't wander out of the woods? Like you don't stop by at the store to pick up some milk and there's your chocobo wandering around aisle five?
no subject
[He says this now, but one day he's going to wake up and V will have busted into his apartment or something.

no subject

That sure is a chocobo.
no subject
Yep! [JUST "YEP". V seems very friendly at least, immediately flouncing over and nosing (or beaking??) at Kashuu's arm and hands.]
Hold on, hold on. Hey— D'you wanna feed him, too?
no subject
Sure but if he bites my finger off we're fighting.
no subject
[Clearly he doesn't believe this is an actual threat... Just look at V! He's got those big ol' funky chocobo eyes full of wonder and no murderous intent!
After a little rummaging, Kashuu pulls a banana and a bar of oats from his bag.]
Here, take your pick.
no subject
[ he means that he can hold it further from his body than he can the oats but it came out stupid. ]
no subject
Then you can go second! Bananas are the dessert, he's gotta eat his oats first.
[To be fair, V seems very okay with this arrangement and immediately swipes the bar from his hand as soon as he even vaguely turns toward V. A HUNGRY CHOCOBO.]
no subject
he watches v eat... appreciating all the various uses he has for all ten of his fingers... ]
Your bird has terrible table manners.
no subject

[V looks like he doesn't give a shit. Possibly because he's too busy eying the banana in Karkat's hand... At least he's polite enough to wait and see if it's offered to him instead of immediately bowling Karkat down to get at it!]
no subject
[ karkat has no problems with pointing that out.
he will... unpeel the banana, and then slowly... hold his hand out. so very slowly. ]
no subject
[No, Kashuu, no...
Anyway V is immediately darting over to bite the top half of that banana right out of Karkat's hands. He warks happily! And doesn't even nab any fingers!! What a good chocobo.]
no subject
[ HE ATE THAT SO QUICKLY?? karkat is shooketh. ]
Does he always eat that fast?
no subject
[Kashuu seems vaguely proud, somehow... He'll pat V's neck, too, as if to say "your appetite is truly impressive and I'm glad we stole you from that rando's backyard."]
You wanna pet him before we get to the race?
no subject
so he sucks it up and... carefully... pat. pat pat pat. ]
Ohhh my god.
no subject
But V seems happy for the extra attention, if nothing else. He has soft plumage, too! Despite living in the forest, Baren and Kashuu do take very good care of him.]
Not so bad, right?
no subject
but he will give v a few more pats before pulling away, still not entirely convinced that he's not going to have the most embarrassing death of all time. ]
He's fine. [ TSUN ]
no subject
You should've seen him when we first got him! He's basically the color of a peacock. Pretty, right?
[Patting poor V...]
It's okay though, you're still pretty now.
no subject
[ he did expect v to look flashier, after all. ]
Is he ready for racing?
