Taking an old muse out for a spin...

[exaeris]

Well, well, it's been a while, hasn't it? Don't worry, I managed to keep myself fairly well occupied in your headspace - after all, someone needs to keep all those boys in line!

Still, it's nice to get out and about every once in a while, and to talk to people other than your other muses! Don't worry, they're being nice enough.

[Smile, soft sigh.] Don't worry, I know that you don't have enough time with your lifestyle for a proper game. Talking with others is still good to do sometimes, you know. At least that keeps you from losing my voice!

Not that I'd let you. [Mischievous grin, wink.]

[ooc: This is a semi-ghostly Aerith/Aeris (she answers to both) who likes to play voyeur on the living world/occasionally interfere if it entertains her. =D]

[chocobo_hairdude]

Hey, Aerith. Are you alright?

[exaeris]

Mm-hm! It's good to get out and about again. My mun's let me have a chance here and there as a background character, but it's been a while since I've gotten to have my own account and everything.

How about you? Has the world been treating you right?

[chocobo_hairdude]

Yeah, I'm good thanks. Just doing the usual thing. [He smiled.]

Defending innocents from monsters and things.

[exaeris]

[She's grinning at him now all teasing-like.] Well, of course! That's what big-time heroes like you do, right?

[chocobo_hairdude]

You bet! [He punched the air and grinned.]

But, we also need the cute flower maidens too you know.

[exaeris]

Of course! To cheer on the heroes. And to guard their backs, of course. [Looks all stern and heroic herself.]

[chocobo_hairdude]

Oh yeah! Of course. How is your flower wagon? Does it still...work?

[always_a_hero]

[Oh, he can't even stop himself from chuckling.]

You know you can chat with me, but you're right, it's always great to get out of the headspace for awhile.

[exaeris]

I know, and it's nice to get out and meet new people, too! Talk to those who need a good talking-to.

[always_a_hero]

Well there's plenty of people like that around. I know of a certain yellow chocobo that could always use it too.

[exaeris]

Well that's what he's got you for right? [Grins at him.] Or for distracting via other methods.

[always_a_hero]

Yeah, but I wasn't talking about that one. I'm talking about all the other ones that don't have me to distract them quite so thoroughly.

[exaeris]

Do you think that I start up a care home for them all? Chocobo-boy Rescue and Rehabilitation?

[always_a_hero]

Hey! That's a good idea! You should do that. I can help build the building, and then I can be the designated chocobo-head hair ruffler. What do you think? We can team up on them!

[exaeris]

Perfect! Though maybe we want to get a contractor to build the building - we don't want it to take three tries before we get it right, after all.

[always_a_hero]

[Pout] What? Don't you have any confidence in my building skill?

[exaeris]

It took you three tries to get a flower cart right, Zack.

[always_a_hero]

Hey, that was 12 years ago! I've got more practice now.

[exaeris]

Mm-hm. At doing what, exactly?

[always_a_hero]

That...We-well...uh...a lot of stuff. [A lot of stuff with a certain chocobo-headed individual, but he didn't need to go into full details about that. Especially since this was Aerith he was talking to and she probably already knew exactly what was going on there. Damn, he never could pull anything over on her.]

[exaeris]

I mean building things, you pervert! [She's trying for shocked and stern and failing miserably, giggles breaking through her words. Oh yeah, she's a pretty shameless voyeur. That thing with the feathers last week? Kinky, Zack. Damn kinky.]

[always_a_hero]

Oh yeah, like you weren't thinking about it too. I know you way better then that, Aerith.

Speaking of, what do you think? Should I ask him to put on the green dress next? Or maybe the purple one like in the old days?

[exaeris]

You were the one that brought it up, not me. [Sticks her nose in the air, the very picture of wounded innocence.]

And the purple, of course. It brings out his eyes in such lovely ways.

[always_a_hero]

Yeah, the purple does suit him well, and I'm thinking going with braids again. His hair is plenty long enough for it now.

[exaeris]

More than long enough! Hm, I wonder if you could convince him to get his hair done in some of those fancy braids like my mun has in the past. Maybe one of the spunkier styles, to go with his adorable spikes!

[always_a_hero]

I think I could manage to talk him in to that. Even if I have to talk him into the hard way.

[exaeris]

Yeah, but he likes the hard way.

[always_a_hero]

[Oh there is that evil grin of his.]

Well, it would take all the fun out of it if he didn't.

[exaeris]

[Rolls her eyes.]

Oh come on, you know that half the fun is listening to him protest. He shouldn't be dragging you into it!

[lost_turk]

[Semi-ghostly? OK, a little creeped out.]

Aerith? How are you....never mind, I forgot: Muns and Muses, anything's possible with them.

[exaeris]

[Eh, it happens. At least she looks pretty normal?]

Yep! And the Lifestream. That helps too.

So! How have you been recently? [Bounces a little on her heels.]

[lost_turk]

[Cissnei manages to shake off her weirded out feelings and smile.]

Good so far. I don't have a game to be apped to yet, but I'm looking.

[exaeris]

I wasn't going to be even checking out a game just yet, but I got tempted into one. [Grins back at her, shrugging and making a little 'what can you do?' motion.]

adstringendum looks pretty interesting, after all! And my mun knows a couple of the other muns there, which should make it easier to get into.

[lost_turk]

Adstringendum, huh? Maybe I'll have my Mun check that place out too. Thanks, Aerith.

[exaeris]

That would be wonderful! We could be newcomers together, then!

[lost_turk]

[...Damn it, Aerith's the kind of person you just can't stay uncomfortable around even IF she's kind of a ghost!]

Yeah! If it happens, I'd be glad.

[exaeris]

Me too! I liked it when I got to see you around in the Slums, so it'd be nice to get to know you without the pressure of you needing to keep an eye on me, or even trying to "bring me in."

[That sort of thing makes forming friendships a little awkward sometimes, after all.]

[lost_turk]

Hey, I never tried to bring you in! And even if I was ordered to, I'd just end up making the same kind of report I did when I was ordered to brink Zack in. (Winks)

[exaeris]

That's true! A couple of the others did, though. Still, they usually warned me ahead of time, and I always had ways out. Tseng didn't really want to bring me in, even if he didn't really say so.

[lost_turk]

Tseng says and does alot of things he doesn't really mean or want to. He's weird like that.

[exaeris]

[Leans in close, cupping her mouth to keep the sound from spreading.] Personally, I think it's just his way of showing that he cares. He doesn't say "I love you," but he'll give advance warning of things like that.
