AyuMomo grrrew up!

( Strawberrie is gonna kill me >.>)



The choco taru lady told me how beautiful her color is, and I agree! Though it looks sorrrta like she just needs a really good bath...

Somehow grrrowing up made her really grumpy. Chocotarulady suggested I let her compete against other chocobos to work off some time and oddly enough, on ourrr walk to the Canyon today I ran into three pompous hume guys who challenged me to a race. Ha! We'll see about that.



((Her care plan was:
1: Take a Walk 4 days
2. Take a Walk 2 days
3. Listen to Music 2 days
4. Take a Walk 2 days.

She was fed mostly cheap things, because I'm poor. She got a vomp carrot once but mostly she ate gysahl greens and a sandorian carrot now and then. I took her on walks every day as much as I could and watched over her a handful of times a day. Her Strength got to substandard two days before she grew up, and right after growing up both Strength and Stamina are substandard, with everything else at poor.))

I made a new frrriend!



This is Hachiatama, I met him in Windurst Waterrrs... or actually he ran into me in Waters, literrrally. I think he's a new trainiee with one of the Minesteries, he asked me to show him wherrre the Saruta gate was. Looking down at this shorrrt little thing who crrrashed right into my legs I wondered how in the world something so small could wanna go out to Saruta. He looked like Yagudo bait and I told him so. Turns out, he's a little scrrraper! Afraid that if I didn't show him the gate he'd start biting my ankles I guided him out and watched him squish any rarab or mandy in his way. Birrrds on the other hand... *giggles*

He's verrry cute, like all taru. And I plan on making him my little dress up doll, if he likes it orrr not.

You'll also notice that I finally brrroke down and cute my hair back to how it use to be. Having long hairrr was nice, but yesh does it get in the way.

((Hachi is an old roleplayer friend of my and Tai's from our WoW days. We love him to tiny bits and pieces and really hope he chooses to stay around Vana'diel for a while with us :) ))

Vacation time!

That's rrright, I've been working so hard recently it's time forrr this cat to take a vacation. Sitting in Windurst Naltai asked me what we were going to do that night. I rrran through the things in my head, -Chase goblins in the Jungles? Hunt trrreasure in Gusgen? Pick the pockets of rrrandom passersby? Or... hmm.... clams.-

So off to Purgonorgo Isle we went! Tai had neverrr been and I'd only been once a long time ago so I was excited to show her arrround.



Even just waiting for the manaclipperrr was relaxing, though I had to talk Tai out of poking the Efts to see what they'd do. Swimsuits, while adorable, do not make good armor. After annoying the nearby efts for a while the boat arrived and we were off.



The manaclipper rrride is so much more fun than the usual ferry trip. The waters are just beautiful! It was rrreally hard not to dive over the side, I wanted to go swiming in those crystal waters so badly, patience... not a virtue of mine.

The other neat thing is that there's a tour guide, and a cute mithrrra tour guide at that.





The boat rrride was over too soon if you ask me, but when it ended we were on the beautiful shores of Purgonorgo Isle. Clams here I come!

I gave Tai a short tour of the island, she got a huge kick out of the uruganites. *giggles* Especially since she leaned on one thinking it was a rrrock and nearly knocked me over in a panic when the thing moved. After gathering her wits she squeeled and began an excited babble about how cute they are, which they are .. in a mossy-squid-rock kinda way.




We spent a wonderrrful day on the beaches, fishing and splashing in the water and of course, digging up clams. Best clams in Vana'diel come from Purgonorgo and if you can manage to get them open with your bare hands (thank you claws!) they're very yummy fresh. By the time we were done we had a pile of empty clam shells next to us about a foot high and very happy kitten tummies.

We sat on the beach and talked for a long while, letting the waves wash over our feet and our tails, watching the sun set. I should go on vacation morrre often, if only to give me reason to wearrr this cute outfit.

So busy, whew!

While wanderrring through Jeuno a few days ago I was flagged down by a mithrra named Luto, I was suprised because she was wearing something that I'm willing to bet was made my Naltai. I'm glad to see herrr designs catching on. She prattled on about looking for someone to gather some inforrrmation for her. I wasn't paying much attention until she said the magic word.... trrreasure.

That worrrd always makes my ears perk up, mreowr. I spent some time working on making my feet hurrrt running around for her. On my way back to deliever some inforrrmation I'd dug up I encountered a hume women who was looking for her lost daughter.




I was willing to help, I can only imagine losing my kitten... if I had one. I didn't rrreally need to offer though since before I could open my mouth my new friend Luto volunteered me. I asked arrround town and someone actually saw the little girl heading outside of town. What little girrrle in a right mind, hume or not, would wander out to Batallia Downs?

Least she was outside, so much easierrr to pick up a sent outside of town. I grrrabed Tai, who was also doing some worrrk for Luto and together we head out. After finding the girrrl's trail we followed it to... Eldieme Necropolis. Starrrting to wonder about this little girl's intelligence... mithrrra back in Kazham would call that naturrral selection. But... in we go!

And good thing we did because we found the little girl, AND we found the mithrrra I suppose to be gathering information on. We also found... a very angry dead guy.



((Two deaths for me, one for Tai and five attempts before we beat him once for each of us. But we did this whole quest with a 30RDM/15WHM and 30THF/15NIN. I'm proud :) ))

He, was NOT a happy camperrr! Thankfully Tsuim helped us out and we got the little girrrl back safely. So where's my trrreasure you ask? Good darrrn question! I got no trrreasure, in fact I got another job. Pfft, this time to Sandoria to look for some mirror or something or another that Tsuim and Luto were interested in. Only thing that got me therrre was the thought of all those elvaan men. *grins*

So off to Sandoria... did I mention that my feet hurrrt? After going there somehow, I'm still not clearrr how but I blame Naltai, I ended up looking down the throat of a dragon.





After all that, I still didn't get any trrreasure! But, I did make some new frrriends.




((Finally! I've wanted to do this quest forever! Very glad to finally have my NPCs. And as a bonus, Naltai's NPC looks like my first character, the one I played when he first met me ))

Squeeee! Lookit! Lookit!



Isn't she cute?! Look at that little ball of yellow fluff! She's even cuterrr than she was as an egg. I was out of town for a few days and when I got back to Windurst I was verrry excited to check in on my egg. The choco tarrru (who's name I can never seem to rrremember...) met me at the door, grrrabed my tail and drug me back to see what my little egg had become.

She's the cutest thing everrr, and anyone who says she isn't can meet me outside the city gates. I sat with herrr for a while, feeding her bits of carrot paste while I tried to think of a name. I finally settled on Ayu Momo, it means 'cute little one' in Mithrrran. Though I know she wan't be little forrr long, since even as a baby she's nearrrly up to my knee! *giggles*

I registered her name with the VCS and the choco taru told me I should trrry taking her on a little walk. It was so cute watching her stumble up the rrramp and out of the stables. I walked as slow as I could and switshed my tail , old mithrrra mama trick, little ones love to chase yourrr tail be they cat or bird =^-^=



She was so good following me the shorrrt way to the gates, she kept getting distrrracted by things in Saruta, and the she afrraid of the mandies but that's a baby for you. Naltai has an egg at the stables too and I now she can't wait for herrrs to hatch. We're hoping it's a boy so we can brrreed them someday.

((Random OOC rant/sob, deal with it -.-

Am I the only person in the WHOLE world who doesn't have a level 75 character yet? ; ; Evvvvvveryone and their brother seems to have like, three now. And I've been here off and on since early 2004. All those people who made fun of me on my old LS on Alex for taking two months to get WAR to 30 the first time would be laughing their arse off at lil' ol me. I feel so boring >.>

Also, the {cat}s are moving this weekend, so extended blog AFK for a few days starting tomorrow =^.^=))

Lookit what I got!



Isn't it cute? It's a chocobo egg, least that what the hume who gave it me said. Naltai says it'll prrrobably hatch into a cute little baby Bahemoth who wants to eat me. I think she's just being silly, the tarrru at the Choco stables told me it was a chocobo egg so I'm gonna trrrust her. I left it there so it's nice and safe and warrrm and I come back a few times a day to check on it. I rrreally hope I'm there when it hatches. Wonder what I should name it...

Anyway, after starrring at the egg and dancing from foot to foot willing to hatch for so long that that choco taru lady starrrted to worry about my sanity, Miss Kortie invited Naltai and I out to Qufim to hunt with she and Jazz. I needed to worrrk on my Ninja skills so I grabbed my katanas and lots of ninjutsu tools and met them there.



While there I learrrned a very important fact. If you stick Naltai's tail in half frrrozen water while she's busy resting she jumps really high! *giggle*

It's been a long time since I stood herrre ...

Figurrred it was about time I returned to Windurst. Besides, all those letterrrs from Naltai beggin' me to come back home were getting old.

My hair's grown out a bit, traveling to exotic lands like I have can do that to you I guess. It's good to be home though.



Moogle was ecstatic to see me. Kupoed on about how well he took care of my pet fishies while I was gone, tried to fill me in on the lastest Conquest reporrrts and commented on my dusty clothes all in one breath. Afterrr settling in for a bit I went to meet with Tai, and togetherrr we headed outside Windurst with some old friends of ours.



My how they've grown! They make me feel so small, but I love them to pieces and have missed them. It's good to be home.

((Yup, the cat is back. Atleast until Vanguard:SOH comes out ;) I'm sorry for my abrubt departure, I downloaded an EQ2 trial and that was the end of that. The RP there was INSANE and I had a ton of fun. I've updated my links list and I think everything should be working, if you've changed your URL and I haven't caught it please let me know ^^ ))
