"Sweet Swing" A Minty Frazzles Fawful and Minty interaction!

(because I need to share my writing more, I did this on the spot yippee)

(this colored text is when Minty is speaking)

(this colored text is when Fawful is speaking)

"Niceness is suiting you but the glass of kindness has such full that the shards are splitting!" He makes a motion with his hands that looks like a made-up explosion

Fawful is sitting on the swinging bench on Minty's porch, stimming by rocking back and forth. He's deep in thought about something. Not too long after, Minty walks outside with a coat on.

"Sup Fawf? You enjoying the outside view?"

He gives her a short glance.

"Fawful is supposing...but I have thoughts here, the swinging has stimulation."

She takes a second to process what the little guy said, she merely nods.

"Mind if I chill here with you?"

Fawful smiles at Minty, it's a small one but he pats the seat next to him, motioning her to join him. They sit rocking back and forth at slightly uneven speeds, it makes Minty giggle but Fawful just ends up rocking his body back and forth harder, tapping his fingers against the side of the swinging bench.

Minty cocks her head to the side like a confused puppy.

"...Good point. There's only so far you can go with being nice to get what you want. But being kind also isn't about expecting a return, but think about it as a bonus!"

"Are you...talking about me? Like...I'm too nice or something?"

"Fawful fears that effort of yours will be stepped on...if not so already. Be like Fawful! Lack the care of niceness and be treating yourself for once! Minty candy!" He makes direct eye contact with her, talking to her with a sense of superiority, like a stern parent.

"Do you...want some more of my candy?"

Fawful sternly glares at Minty, who can't seem to hold her laughter..! He even jabs her on the side with his little elbow, not enough to hurt of course, but to make a point.

"Minty candy FOR MINTY ONLY! Cease with the oversharing!"

"Haha--aww Fawful, I was just kidding! I get what you meant...! Gotta start being mean?"

"The day this is happening Fawful's friend could be flying with wings!"

It takes a second for her to get what he meant again...OH HIS FRIEND MIDBUS. That makes Minty smile.

"Just...b-be on that out-looking" Fawful is trying to play it off, but seeing his...friend? So happy? Listening to him like this...it's nice.

"Hm...y'know Fawf? Being too mean on the other hand is just going to push people away...after all people really like ya if you're nice!"

Fawful pauses for a moment...but then he ends up rolling his eyes

"Oooh yes yes yes so if Fawful had pleading with pleasing and niceness they would be handing over all kingdoms to him like a slap in the palm!" He was....obviously being sarcastic.

Minty makes a cute little heart motion with her hands.

"Hah! As if people would ever be adoring Fawful without his spray of goodness...or the threats of lives." Fawful refers to...past events in his life where people listened to him. He crosses his arms.

Minty blushes, not outright saying it but...she likes him. And she's not mind controlled, and especially not threatened...

"Wait--but--what about what you just said??"

"....Fawful will have redeeming that candy offer now."

That certainly got a rise out of the girl, she huffs...Fawful's testing her.

"Without guts for decline, all candy is for me~!"

With a devilish smirk, suddenly Fawful leaps out of the swing and makes a dash right towards her front door. Minty audibly gasps, getting up.

"What?? Nono wait not ALL of my candy! NOT AGAIN!"

She squeals out of anxiety as she barges inside her own home to chase after the love of her life from going on a full on sugar rush......again.

What were you like at 17? Infinitely more naïve than I am now. I was going through my first heartbreak, funnily enough caused by the same person who is the reason for my current heartbreak, but that’s a story I’ve shared a million times. Anyway, at 17 I was still in high school so I was definitely more carefree about a lot of things; I wasn’t worrying about the future too much just yet, and I was still set on taking journalism. I was also going through my first family death which allowed me to explore a new side of my emotions.

Tell us about your first kiss. I had been really nervous about it and I felt like I wasn’t ready. But she was very gentle and took her time with me that night, even though I could tell she really wanted to have that kiss. I knew I hadn’t been a good kisser for my first, but she seemed to have good memories of it years later when we revisited the experience.

Tell us about your worst date. I’ve never been on a date with someone I wasn’t seeing.

What’s your biggest flaw? I’m extra sensitive and can’t take even the most playful of jabs without feeling the least bit hurt, unless the dig came from someone I’m extremely comfortable with, like Angela. That makes me the worst person for banter in most cases and it makes me not the most approachable person.

What’s the coolest thing you’ve bought lately? To be honest with you, I only ever buy food lol. I’ve been an employee for three months now and I have yet to buy something that’s meant to be an investment or is meant to last with me. 

Who is your celebrity crush? Can’t really decide between Kristen Stewart and Kate Winslet. Love them both.

What is your biggest pet peeve? I don’t appreciate lateness very much, especially if people have no reason to be.

What’s the song you most wish you had written? I don’t really think like this. If anything, I’m grateful there are songwriters out there who can pen songs that perfectly encapsulate my thoughts and feelings.

What do you always take with you when you travel? Phone, laptop, my chargers for each, wallet, and too many clothes because I like having multiple choices on what to wear while I’m traveling.

Do you have any pets? Two dogs.

Have you or someone you know ever drunk dialed? I never have, but I probably know a ton of people who have.

What is the worst break up you have experienced? The most recent one. The person I trusted the most hurt me in more ways than I could ever imagine. She seemed so desperate to get rid of me, and I will never be able to shake off the excruciating pain of feeling unwanted. She made it sound like I put her on a leash when I did nothing but attend to her every need and adjusted in a million ways for her comfort while never asking for anything back. I blamed myself for months, never knowing what exactly I was blaming myself for.

I worked my goooooooddamn hardest to get to where I am today, and I’m not sure she deserves to re-enter my life after the work and fixing I’ve done to be able to forgive and love myself.

Have you ever been stuck by someone very annoying on a plane/bus/etc? I don’t think so. The only one I remember was a seatmate on a plane who snored for the entire trip, but it didn’t bother me too much. When was the last time you were rejected by someone? Late 2020.

Has someone way older than you tried to hit on you? Nope.

Have you ever been cheated on? Never. 

Did you get lost at all on your first day of high school? No. I went to the same school from kinder to high school, so by freshman year I could’ve gone through the entire campus blindfolded.

Have you ever been interrupted during sex? Yeah many times.

Have you ever been recorded doing stupid things while drunk? Yeah, I’m the favorite for that kind of content haha. I can get quite silly when drunk.

Has a significant other ever called you by the wrong name? Nope.

Have you ever cooked anything and it turned out horrible? Not exactly, but close. I’ve baked stuff before that ended up tasting like nothing.

What is the worst birthday you have ever had? I don’t think I have one that’s in the running for absolute worst, but my 21st birthday coincided with Easter Sunday so I couldn’t invite anyone to celebrate with me. Gabie’s parents, who aren’t even particularly religious, didn’t allow her to celebrate with me because it was Easter, so that was a blow. Angela saved the day by taking me to dinner and spending the whole evening with me, but by the end of the evening Gabie and I had a lengthy argument and she kept trying to break up with me. It was a miserable end to a mostly miserable birthday.

Have you ever choked on chewing gum? Probably briefly in the past. I don’t have any moments that stuck with me.

Have you ever found anything dirty in a siblings room? No, but I also don’t go looking around through his things. < Same.

Have you ever made a bad first impression on someone’s parents? I’m sure I have. I once made a mess in a high school classmate’s bathroom when I cleaned my hands to get red food coloring off of them. I did want to clean it, but my mom suddenly came to pick me up so I had to leave the sink in such a messy state. Years later and I still feel bad about it, even though I’ve never been close to that girl and I’ve never visited her house since.

When is the last time you got into a fist fight? Idk man, 15 years ago? The only physical fights I’ve gotten into were with my siblings and cousins when we were kids.

Have you ever been spit on by a llama? I don’t think I’ve ever even seen a llama in real life.

Have you ever locked yourself out of your car/house? The house, yes many times. Never out of my car.

Describe how you got one of your scars. My right ring toe got caught in the gears once when I was riding my bike.

Describe how you’ve broken a bone, if you have. Never have. Would hate to feel what it’d be like D:

Have you ever had a near death experience? The time I got shocked when I was 11 probably comes the closest.

When you get cold at home, do you get a sweater/hoodie or get a blanket? I rarely get colds. When I do, I just wait for it to leave; I don’t really do anything to deal with it.

Do you require visual assistance? (i.e.; glasses or contacts) I’ve had glasses since I was 11.

Do you work out? Occasionally.

Describe the last cup you drank from. It was just a clear glass that had water in it.

What is a food that you always are in the mood to eat? Sushi and sashimi.

Do you like sausage? I’ve never liked sausage tbhhhh. It tastes odd to me.

Ever held a newborn animal? I don’t think. The closest I’ve come to holding a newborn was meeting Cooper when he was two months old and barely looked like a beagle.

Do you make a wish when you blow out your birthday candles? I haven’t had a birthday cake in a while, but in general I do make wishes when I get the chance to blow out candles.

Have you ever been to Boston? Nope.

Describe your hair at the moment. I showered a few hours ago so it’s still a bit damp, but otherwise it’s nothing special.

What is the last thing you searched for online? I looked for a synonym for a certain word, but I don’t remember what it was.

What are you sitting on? The chair in my room. I actually haven’t sat on it for a couple of months, so it feels pretty refreshing to do so again.

Could you use a massage right now? If I could get rid of how terribly ticklish I am, I would so appreciate a massage right now, yeah.

Is it wicked hard for you to sleep when its hot in your room? Yup and I also get insanely cranky as well. Being hot is one of the worst sensations ever, if not the outright worst.

Do you sleep on your stomach/back/side most often? On my stomach with my arms and legs wrapped around a pillow.

Do make sure you dot your I`s when you write? Yes.

Do you dunk your cookies in milk? No, I just like to eat them on their own.

What did you wear today? I had a tank top and shorts for most of today.

Do medical terms make you uncomfortable? Not really, unless I’m diagnosed with a certain condition lol.

Are you afraid of failure? Yeah because I really hate losing or people thinking I’m not capable enough. The older I get and the more experiences I gain, though, the more I’ve been less afraid to commit mistakes. More and more I realize everybody I deal with are people who also make mistakes and are afraid of making mistakes.

Have you been called a bad influence? I’m sure I have.

What about Chinese food? Love it or hate it? I loooove Chinese food, but it’s not one of my top favorites.

How do you feel about getting new neighbors? I honestly have no clue who any of my neighbors are, so I would barely notice if we got new ones.

Why were you last in a hospital? I needed to get blood and urine tests because my fever wasn’t going away and it was time to figure out what was wrong with me.

When is the last time you went to a doctor, and why? We needed him to figure out what I had from the results of the aforementioned medical tests, and for him to prescribe the proper medicine for me to take.

Rockland: Zeitgeist pre-release thoughts PT 17

The date of this post is 10/13/19.  Please note that information revealed at this time via Patreon or any of the creator’s blogs may be subject to change after this date.

Here I’ll be talking about a Patreon exclusive spoiler script involving a conversation between Cain and the MC about Damien.

(Spoilers below for BTD2 and the Zeitgeist Demo)

Wow.  There was a LOT packed into this conversation.  Unfortunately it came right off the heels of another spoiler script, and I neither had the time or energy to sort my initial thoughts together and put them out right away.  The problem with this is I don’t think I’ll get everything in here from my first impressions (simply because I forgot initial connections I made).  Still, there’s plenty I can bring up now.

You heard me right though, the conversation here is between Cain and the MC talking about Damien, or more specifically why Cain didn’t like that you seemed to have taken to Damien.

Now before this spoiler script, if you had asked me why I thought Cain had violently took you away after your interaction with Damien earlier, I would have said “jealousy.”  It seemed like a solid guess.  Heck, the biblical version of Cain supposedly killed his brother Abel because he was jealous/envious that God preferred Abel’s gift over his.  I thought it would actually make a lot of sense to for that to be a continuous flaw of Cain’s.  It would help to explain why he could be a kind and caring person, but at the same time is still dangerous due this character flaw of his.  A flaw that could cause him to act violently and even sadistic.

But guess what happened in the script?  Apparently, the MC and I think very alike and they blatantly accuse Cain of being jealous that they got to spend time with Damien (both ways actually, which is a little funny especially how Cain reacts to the insinuation that he wanted to have a romantic night with Damien- spoiler, he’s not amused).  But Cain blatantly tells the MC that he is NOT jealous.  Not only that, he says the reason he pulled you away from the possibility of a second date (well, technically he pulled you away from many things, but let’s stay on topic here), was because he was worried about you getting hurt.

Oh yeah.  Cain is actually claiming that Damien isn’t all he’s cracked up to be, and that he could be somewhat of heart breaker.  He doesn’t describe Damien in a way though that says he’s evil or abusive or even an a-hole or anything.  More like Damien just has a habit of dropping off the grid and being distant.

Now, one could say that perhaps Cain is lying here in order to gain more of the MC’s favor over Damien.  Yes actually, this spoiler script further supports my theory that Cain really wants you to like him.  This sure sounds like the classic, “make the other guy seem like the bad guy and while I’m the one who REALLY cares about you,” and even the MC is a little skeptical with what Cain is saying.  Another small detail I noticed is that the MC seems a little more...comfortable I guess?  With Cain in this conversation.  I can’t tell if this is still a conversation you have early on in the route, or later in the game.  It might be a little later because the MC makes quite a few jabs at Cain verbally.  I feel like the MC that we got in the previous spoiler script would be way too frightened and cautious to make some of the suggestions they do here or act the way they do without fearing upsetting him.  Cain in turn either rolls with what you say/do, or acts very...”real” towards what you say.

Getting back on topic, I actually do believe Cain is being genuine here when he says he was worried about Damien breaking your heart.  The first is that during the demo, Damien actually hints or outright says he doesn’t really have lovers.  He does get comfortable with you, and even a little romantic with the piano, but Cain’s quick to point out how people can make a good impression in a short amount of time.  This is actually really funny to think about considering how you first meet Cain in BTD2 and then see what he’s actually like.  First impressions are important, but not always the truth I guess is what’s best to say here.

The other reason I guess is because I don’t think Cain’s talking smack about Damien out of hate.  There’s small things that get revealed in this script that show Damien and Cain have a MUCH better relationship in the Rockland universe than the BTD universe.  Cain isn’t possibly sending pictures of tortured victims (not confirmed, that was an old guess of mine) to Damien, but cat photos.  Cat.  Photos.  Cain also claims Damien doesn’t really even hate him.  So, they probably aren’t in that whole “good vs. evil for the fate of the world” kind of deal they were back in BTD.

Now are the siblings super close?  Well, not sure.  If the what’s said in the demo by Damien stays in the game for the final product, we also know that Cain used to make fun of Damien for playing the piano like a human.  That and it was a “general consensus” that he was not a good brother.

It’d be interesting to compare how Cain talks about Damien vs. how Damien talks about Cain.  That would reveal how the two view each other, and we’d get to see if either is a liar, misconstrues certain information or really just misunderstands their brother.

I don’t know how to segue into this, but I just had a very random thought pop up into my head.  I think it just came to mine thinking about how questionable Cain’s character is at times, and then how there are some things that MIGHT need to be questioned about Damien:

Cain wants to bond with people, but doesn’t know how.  Damien knows how to bond with people, but doesn’t want to.

I guess this came up because I still question SO many of Cain’s actions.  The last spoiler script on tumblr definitely still made you wary of the guy, and he just seemed livid to me during the demo ending where he pulls you through the mirror.  This whole Patreon spoiler script was Cain being either down-to-earth, playful or concerning.  Nothing in this script made you fear Cain whatsoever.

Now I also have the problem where I would have originally thought getting together with Damien or Sam at the beginning puts you on the road to just “get through” Cain’s stuff (because he’d be more of an antagonist) until you get to the other characters.  Now, not so much.  

This script is clearly exclusive to if you met with Damien at the beginning.  What’s more, it makes me feel like Cain isn’t going to just dump you for no reason.  He’s actually...going to try to get you to stay and like him.  He’s not miffed enough that you went on a date where he’d throw you in a torture chamber or something until someone comes to rescue you or you escape.  He’s putting more effort into conversing with the MC.

It makes me slightly frightened actually because...what exactly happens that causes you to get abandoned by Cain?  Either you completely break his heart (which oddly is sad for me despite what I’ve seen this guy do in the past) or you act in a way that REALLY gets on his bad side.  Even if Rockland Cain is a kinder version, I’d still be concerned what he’s like when he’s p*ssed off.  I mean, if he breaks your face on a mirror when he’s NOT jealous of you and is in fact trying to protect you....I think you get it, haha.

Oh boy.  All my preconceptions are getting thrown out the window and I’m back to not being sure if we’re completely safe yet.  Rockland Cain is definitely going to be difficult to dissect without seeing all the interactions.

One more thing to add.  You get the mirror break demo ending when you talk to either Damien or Sam more intimately.  So if Cain is concerned that Damien will leave you in the dust...what’s his beef with Sam?  I suppose it could be a similar reason.  Like...Sam IS a reaper, and perhaps Cain will think it’s not such a great idea to date some who works so closely with the dead (wait, then what do you do Cain? XD).  Perhaps Sam is friendly outside of work, but is rather cold when on the job, which can be frightening.  I don’t think the reasons for why Cain didn’t like you talking with Damien vs. talking with Sam will be EXACTLY the same, but those are two completely different characters.

Maybe he has an entirely different issue with Sam than he does with Damien.  Cain might not hate Damien, but I don’t know how well he gets along with Sam either.

I think I did a decent job recapturing most of my older thoughts.  But trust me, it got REALLY complicated in my head trying to connect the jovial (but still questionable) Cain from the last strict and the one here that seemed more at your eye-level (and even a little vulnerable).  

Luckily, I think I am the only one going insane over trying to figure this out :P

Loss of Self

Major near end game and Episode Prompto spoilers!

I felt like tackling that moment when Prom and Aranea get separated from the others and each other. When Prompto's alone with a million thoughts and horrors on his mind. It was a nice change of pace to see a darker, more serious side of the eternal sunshine boy.

Word count: 1,611

Also, I haven't written anything in literal years so please excuse me if I'm a little rusty!

This was prompted by this amazing image by @discoart

  Go check it out!~ ♥

And a million thanks to @kanjicolossus for proof reading this ♥

--------------------------

Prompto sits alone in the dark cave, hugging his bruised arms close for warmth as he tries to will some life into the pitiful excuse of a fire before him.

He shifts a little between two bites of cold canned beans, moving his weight to his left to alleviate some of the cold that has built up in his right thanks to the icy stone beneath him. Snow pants or not, sitting on the ground in arctic conditions was bound to end up with the cold crawling its way through the thick clothing at some point.

Aranea had pointed to the camp on the map before jabbing it into his chest and helping him out of the base, just in time for him to escape with the gates nearly crushing the back wheel of the snowmobile as he zipped past them. She would meet up with him, in one piece he hopes, after figuring her way out through thick hordes of monsters, same-faced copies and angry daemons, her detour through enemy lines allowing him far too much time alone with his thoughts.

The blond sits still for a while more before shifting his weight back to his right side again, debating using his hat as a cushion to keep his rear end that little bit warmer when the fire that had sprung to life minutes ago suddenly dims. The gunman glares at the embers, heaving a sigh as he tosses a hopefully less frozen log into the fire so that maybe it can be convinced not to die outright.

Their journey had not always been an easy one, heck, the very start had been a painful, tiring, annoying trek of pushing of a broken down car that seemed to be ten times their group's combined weights all the way to Hammerhead. But as Ardyn started showing up more and more following their meeting in Galdin Quay and Lestallum, everything started going downhill. Quickly. What had started as a fun road trip to new horizons eventually morphed to walking down a slippery slope, only to devolve into tumbling blindly into a dark abyss so quickly he couldn’t really tell when they’d truly lost balance.

Being the eternal optimist of the group- or at least trying to- Prompto had hoped against hope that stealing the Regalia or sending annoying MTs was the worst the man would do. But no matter how much he despised the chancellor, how many chills the man sent down his spine whenever he so much as glanced at him, he never expected him to cut Luna’s life short, rob Ignis of his vision or turn Noctis against him.

But he did and now here Prompto sits; alone, cold and betrayed.

He can still clearly hear Noctis screaming insults at him back when he held him against the wall of the cart, an arm firmly pressed against his throat. He still feels the weight of it on his neck, and the gut wrenching fear his friend would pin him right there against a wall, blood slicked sword stuck right through his abdomen.

He still feels the impact of the prince's blade ripping his gun right out of his hand before he was sent tumbling off the train and into the dirty snow below...

 Zoning back into the present, Prompto slowly uncurls himself to allow what little heat the fire emits to warm him up. He tosses a few more branches into the flames that are climbing up the side of the too damp log, catching a glimpse of his wrist mid-move as his sleeve rides up just a little bit too high and glaring at the offending ink as if he could somehow scare it out of his skin. But no, it had always been there and always would be; an eternal reminder of what he would never be and so many truths he had never known.

He can’t exactly remember how or when he had learned about his Niflheim origins; maybe it was simply mentioned to him after wondering out loud why he had this black mark he couldn’t wash off, one that none of the other kids had. Perhaps he had overheard his parents whispering about it one evening. He only knows he has been aware of it for as long as he can remember and that it has been tugging at the back of his mind ever since, as he tried his best to bury his feeling of being a fraud as far down as he could.

But today has been a giant pile of ugly truths that bring everything bubbling back to the surface. Not only has he never been a real Lucian, he isn’t even his own person.  A broken chuckle escapes him as his mind threatens to shatter from this new shift of reality, slowly cracking. He’s just someone’s creation, a clone amongst thousands, a mere plaything to be disposed of if his “father” so wishes.

The flames crackle, punctuating the silence and dragging Prompto out of his reverie as his eyes fall on a half burnt stick that stands awkwardly on the side of the makeshift pit. His vision flickers between the branch and his arm, once, maybe twice, as he slowly stretches out his hand to pick it up. It’s pleasantly warm, the intact end having soaked up just enough heat to spread it to his frozen fingers through the glove. The other end, however, sports a healthy streak of glowing red embers.

Slowly, he pulls his sleeve up, a fresh stab of heartbreak piercing his chest as the bar code clearly comes into view.

The burnt end of the stick slowly inches toward his wrist, and he hesitates and falters as the heat viciously licks at his skin. Instinct forces him to pull his wrist away from the offending heat and he scowls at it, determined to erase the damn thing even though every inch of his body fights against it.

Another moment of hesitation, or five, later, Prompto sucks in a breath through clenched teeth before pushing the stick against his wrist in one swift move. His skin hisses as he screams, both sounds equally loud to his ears as he forces himself to keep the ember against his flesh until he can’t bear the pain anymore. The stick falls to the floor, the boy curling up around his seared arm.

Prompto looks down at him limb through pained tears and there’s definitely a nice burn there now, but he can still see every damn line of the tattoo through the red swollen skin and the ashes that stuck to it. It’s there to stay.

“Haha….” A small quivering laugh echoes through the cave, broken, the sound of someone slowly teetering over the edge.

“…Branded for life.”

Boots clap on the floor near him.” Don’t tell me you thought that would work?” Prompto looks up at his sudden company, wiping away the tear rolling down his cheek. He doesn’t respond, silently staring at Aranea, the lump in his throat making it too difficult to speak.

“Prompto, right?” He nods as she carefully steps closer and pulls out a potion from her pocket.

Kneeling down, she reaches for his hand, a scowl painted on her face as she gently tilts his arm to asses the extent of the damages. The tattoo is intact, but the burn will definitely leave a pale mark on the skin above. Satisfied with her findings, she pops the cap off the vial and he watches as she pours the liquid onto the wound.

The process is almost painful in its own way, the cool potion contrasting immensely with the heat radiating from his arm as it spreads over the burn and stitches his skin anew. He’s unusually still, observing his limb as the last of the potion works its magic and the pain finally subsides.

The grip on his hand disappears and Aranea stands up, taking a step back from the distracted boy with a scoff. They had only been separated for a few hours, but he could have gone through hell and back during that time and wouldn’t have looked any better.

“You could at least look happy to see me.” she teases, half scolding. The gunman shifts uncomfortably, still slightly unsure if an attempt to talk at this moment would result in words or cries tumbling out, so he tries to laugh instead, the resulting sound more akin to a sob than anything else.

Aranea settles down near the fire pit with a soft thud, “I ran into your buddies in Tenebrae.” His mind skids to a stop and his head snaps up to look at the mercenary.

“You’ve got ‘em worried sick..”

He has so many questions he wants to ask, but he can’t go back. Or so he thinks. He’s too scared to look back and worried to move forward and she knows it, but she doesn’t care. She holds more answers to his shared and unspoken worries than he could have expected her, and in the end his options boil down to two choices: find his own answers or give up altogether.

 ————————-

Figuring out a cutoff point was stupidly difficult? I really hope it doesn’t end too abruptly and I’m really sorry if it does. I mostly wanted to focus on the burn part so I tried to stop at the point just before the game switches the focus from the self-harm to him worrying about the other chocobros.
