Wolf! Wolf!

You know that Wilderness place everybody keeps telling us not to visit? It turns you into an animal! This is the coolest thing ever and we need to go right now, okay? I bet you ten coins I can guess what you turn into.

Oh, also, we should probably get jobs soon.

[A few minutes later, the following obvious afterthought appears:]

Also also, I picked a name! I am now, henceforth, and officially, the one, the only, the amazing...

Marbles!

So yeah, thanks, everybody who helped me decide! Except the crazy people. And the jerks. But everybody else, thanks for all the nifty ideas! :)

Nice to meet you! I'm Kagerou.

Just remember not to go to the Wilderness alone, but it looks like you've got that covered.

[viva-la-materia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm gonna bring my brother. Have you been yet?

Oh, and it's nice to meet you, too!

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

Siblings are very good company for exploration. Maybe I'll ask one of mine later--I haven't been yet, but I'd like to. Be a little careful, though! It apparently has some dangerous things this time.

[viva-la-materia.livejournal.com]

You've got more than one? Wow.

I can take a few monsters, though. No problem!

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

In a way. Just one Sphere-sibling, though.

Oh, that's good then! You already know you can fight?

[sarcasmbender.livejournal.com]

Do we really have to go?

Glad you picked a name at least.

[viva-la-materia.livejournal.com]

Yes, we have to go! It's not gonna stay that way forever! How many chances do you get to turn into an animal, that's awesome!

[sarcasmbender.livejournal.com]

"Changing into an animal" is pretty far down the list of things I ever want to do.

written as an afterthought

[sarcasmbender.livejournal.com]

AND besides that, why is your immediate reaction to someone saying "Don't go there" to GO THERE?

[viva-la-materia.livejournal.com]

Because it's an adventure! I thought you said you were the toughest guy around. You're not scared of a little adventure, are you? Anyway, they didn't technically say to NEVER go there. They just say to be careful and not to go alone.

[Pause.]

Buuut if you won't come with me, I guess I'll have to go alone!

[sarcasmbender.livejournal.com]

Tough guys also know when to leave well enough alone.

...Fine. But if we get killed, I get to say I told you so.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

I like the name Marbles. Just be sure not to ever lose them!

[now that the obligatory lame joke is taken care of--]

You be careful if you go down there, okay? It is dangerous. There are monsters down there, and it's not so easy to fight or run when you're still getting used to a whole different body.

[viva-la-materia.livejournal.com]

Hey, if I ever get ahold of any of the marbles from my dream, they are never leaving my sight again. Those things were important.

Don't worry about me, though! I've got those monsters handled, no sweat. I'll give 'em a right hook and a kick in the nose and send them home crying!

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

They were? Then you should definitely keep an eye out for them.

Well, just remember that it's not easy to give a right hook if your fist is a paw. But if you've got claws on the end of it, it's not so bad.

[viva-la-materia.livejournal.com]

Definitely! Know any place I could find some?

It'd be pretty great if I was something with claws. And fangs!

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Try the Bazaar, or the yard sale on the Stuff Inc island! You're bound to find some there.

Claws and fangs do help.

[of-mindelan.livejournal.com]

Just be careful if you go out there.

[She's sore over the sparrow thing. Everyone else she's seen gets some kind of major charismatic animal, and it's just her who ends up as a bird six inches long. If whining about it would change anything, she would have done so. In depth.]

[viva-la-materia.livejournal.com]

I know, I know. Everybody says that. Don't worry, I'll be fine!

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Marbles, huh? Nice choice~

[viva-la-materia.livejournal.com]

I thought so, too! ♥

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

I dunno what it means, but it sounds cute enough.

[viva-la-materia.livejournal.com]

Well, "cute"'s the word, all right!

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Well, Marbles-cutie, I'm glad you seem to be enjoying yourself so far. Seen a lotta folks just get angry about it all.

[seeya-next-life.livejournal.com]

So Marbles it is, huh? For some reason I think it really suits you. And rats, Krile already beat me to the lame joke. I'll have to be a little quicker next time.

[viva-la-materia.livejournal.com]

That was a joke? I don't get it.
