[sniptuck]

[ NEW MONTH, NEW US. Are you attempting to figure out ways to solve Naoko and Jenn's respective problems? Helping to make the base island nice and fancy? Or any other type of shenanigan that isn't listed above because I don't know your life and am not privy to every single bad idea to come across the crew? Well, it's time to make all of that happen here!

Anyway have fun and use this for threading. Make sure to check out the November OOC post and there is also a CR meme up. THAT'S IT, HAPPY SCORPIO MONTH!!! ]

I can definitely see how it would get stuck in your head.

[ it seems like the kind of thing that'd get used in a lot of commercials? not that.. reyna watches a lot of tv. ]

[aheroipray]

Unfortunately so. Moogles are annoyingly adept at being... well, annoying. Wouldn't you agree?

[ what is a tee vee ]

[heroina]

I'm afraid that I can't really say. I've never seen a moogle.

[ at least she doesn't think.... she has..... ]

[aheroipray]

You're better off. Those bags of fur, wings, and malice...

[heroina]

[ malice... she thinks back to the song?? and tries to imagine a being full of malice singing something so absurd and. actually. she can fully imagine it, she is used to ridiculous shit like that?? this is unfortunate. ]

If you say that then chances are they'll show up here next.

[aheroipray]

[ moogles are the worst. you can quote her on that ]

Twelve guide us. If they show up, I'll throw myself into the water sooner than later. I'd rather not be driven insane by ever-maddening chores including "find ten kupo nuts" or "kill a wadjet, report to Mogleo, kill another wadjet, report to Mogleo" daily.

You'll suffer in my stead, won't you?

[heroina]

Not at all.

[ it's said-- er. thought?? immediately. ]

I will remember you fondly though.

[aheroipray]

Had I misspoken? I hadn't meant to say they were a menace to the social structure, but rather... rrrrrrr...

[ come on you can bullshit this ]

A... menace to... being productive! You just, ah, want to hug them.

[heroina]

[ that was the most blatant backtracking that reyna has ever seen and she is actually impressed by it. ]

Unfortunately, the list of things that make me want to hug them is pretty small. Or fortunately, I suppose, in this case. I won't get in the way of your cuddling.

[aheroipray]

[ social tactics are not her strong suit. ]

It'd be most wasteful to keep such moghappiness to myself. I simply must share.

[heroina]

You really mogdon't.

[ at this point she is legitimately curious about what the heck a moogle is though. ]

Are they really that annoying?

[aheroipray]

But it'd be mogwrong of me to do so.

[ a pause. ]

Yes. They are that insufferable. You've not known true aggravation until you must needs help a moogle. They're notorious pranksters, horribly inefficient, and lazy to boot. Normally I find some regret in slapping someone to their senses, but... should it be a moogle...

[heroina]

Oh. They sound like fawn, actually.

[ only without the whole always trying to mooch money off you thing?? wait actually ]

What are they like financially?

[aheroipray]

They're... honestly, I don't think I've ever seen a moogle handle gil. That's probably for the best. A fawn?

[heroina]

It's easiest to describe them as half goat, half human creatures. They are notoriously lazy and will do anything to swindle you out of your entire purse.

[ and then there's the greek equivalent, which are satyrs... satyrs actually do work and help out and are the complete opposite of fawn?? it actually annoys reyna that the romans got the short end of the stick there. ]

[aheroipray]

What's a human?

[ the more important part here obviously. ]

[heroina]

Most of the people on this base are human. You probably have a different word for us, maybe?

[ dori actually explained the whole hyur thing to her but reyna obviously... does not know the two of them are from the same place, so. ]

[aheroipray]

[ irritably: ]

Oh. The Hyurs.

[heroina]

[ she snorts. ]

Do you know Dori then?

[aheroipray]

Doeranka? Large, muscular and with a booming voice?

[heroina]

That's him. We arrived at the same time.

[ he...... was not wearing any pants.... ]

[aheroipray]

What a fateful encounter. He is quite a character... I suppose I shouldn't be surprised he would be here as well. A Serpent, a Flame... all we're missing is a Storm.

He treated you well, I presume.

[heroina]

[ reyna has no idea wtf she is talking about but. whatever. sure, they are missing a storm. ]

... Yes, he did actually. He's pretty nice.

1/2

[aheroipray]

[ yep, get used to rambling. she doesn't get to talk to a lot of people who don't have political clout so whoops, how do you off switch. ]

It's a bit impressive how gentle someone can be, despite their appearances.

[aheroipray]

Of course, that's if you can understand him. Which I applaud you if you could.
