hey. bumped into people around here looking for others to do stuff with, like sports, hanging out, etc. was thinking we could share what hobbies we have and maybe find people to do stuff with. or even just chat about whatever.

i visit the gym for muscle training with a friend, go running with another (who should talk about that). used to skateboard and even played soccer years ago. i know karate if anyone else does it. and a sensei who won't mind teaching if anyone's interested.

so, yeah. you into fashion, music, or just want to talk about something with people, could be fun. find out if anyone else is really into big fluffy birds called chocobos

( ooc: please mingle, share character hobbies or whatever your character wants to chatter about. no need to ask robby anything. ♡

[ reno you're in LUCK!!

but also: ]

hell no
even if i did it'd be a stick figure. you want a stick figure animal?

[astraphilia]

how would I know? my man, you are missing out on a prime opportunity to convince me that horses just look like that

[willtheunwise]

[ totally a horse ]

There you go!

[astraphilia]

now why am I having a hard time believing this 🤔🤔🤔

what is that actually? it looks like a featherless green chocobo.

maybe all roads really do lead back to chocobos...

[willtheunwise]

No idea, because it’s definitely a horse 👀

It’s actually a dinosaur, and judging by pictures I’ve seen scrolling Chocobos look like birds and birds are descended from dinosaurs so… kinda?

[astraphilia]

huh, kinda makes sense. come to think of it there might be something similar living up north where I'm from... I ain't ever seen one face to face but I've heard about them. no idea if they're related to chocobos though.

i'm giving you more credit that you'd recognize i'm just shit at drawing

but hey, you got a pic. horse riding's more a hobby where i'm from than serious transport anymore. we have cars

it's how chocobos were described to me too

[astraphilia]

probably that too, but I'd be polite, I wouldn't mention that part!

yeah, that's about right. in the cities cars and trucks are more common, but it's still cheaper to rent a chocobo than buy a car, so sometimes people use them for travel between cities or countries

chocobo racing is also... well it's not common but it does happen. great way to lose a lot of money if you're dumb about it though!

[strongroots]

that's a difference for us. we have roads going everywhere. i don't know if people ride horses around seriously unless you're in the country. there isn't any room for them around the cities, even outside of them

sounds like chocobos are a bigger business over there

but horse betting? we have that. think that's where most of us ever see horses - on TV. car racing, too. people love finding ways to lose money

[astraphilia]

might be, yeah. we got a lot of country between cities and not the best transportation infrastructure. chocobos can cover terrain cars can't.

the universal constant: worlds developing ways to part fools and their money

[strongroots]

and the rich making sure they stay rich?

[astraphilia]

eyy you know it

[ although ha ha the corporation Reno works for is the de facto government of the world so maybe a little more intensely so on Gaia than elsewhere... ]
