[Voice] Fluffy New Feather

[puubuu]

[A high-pitched, almost cartoony-cute voice comes out from the journal. Fattycakes records his first journal entry where he woke up, some distance away from the village. He doesn't seem to be aware that others can hear the recording, however.]

Puu! Hello! This thing has a record button, so I guess it's recording! Yoo-puu! Yuppuu, I think it's working!

So... Hello, strange new diary! My name is Fattycakes, and instead of going home, I seem to have ended up in a new world! A new world where I have wings and can talk to humans! I'm excited to be able to talk to humans! Normally all I could do is puu and buu, but now people can understand me!

And wings! They are fluffy and white! I want to be able to fly, buu! But they kind of hurt right now... maybe I'll wait to try and fly later.

I see a village... that seems like the perfect place to scoot to next! With my new talking power, it'll be easy to ask the humans where I am! So, I will be scooting off to the village now! I'll tell you what I find there later, new diary! Bye-bye!

Take your time, little guy. I eat fast because I was a lot more hungry than I thought. Luckily I have trail mix, too. Lots of nuts and raisins. It's great.

If you want me to carry you while you eat I'm fine with doing that, too.

[action]

[puubuu]

Puu~ carry me, please? Don't worry, I can hold the apple. [The apple appears to levitate slightly off the ground.] See?

[action]

[echotaker]

Woah! I didn't know you could do things like that, FC! Sure, I'll carry you. Here we go.

[Gently, Michael cups his hands around the little puffball and carefully lifts him up.]

Still got your apple?

[action]

[puubuu]

Puu~ [He looooooves being held.] Yep! See? [He appears to be holding the apple up for display, but without hands.] Now, let's check out that wooded area near the south bridge!

[action]

[echotaker]

Tally ho!

[Michael laughs and heads off, glad to be able to help and more than a little mystified by the little puffball.]

[action]

[puubuu]

Yayyyy! Puu buuuu! How long do you think it'll be till we get there, huh? I guess it won't be too long with you carrying me.

[action]

[echotaker]

It shouldn't take too long at all, nope! Especially if I jog. It's your choice, bud.

[He smiles down at Fattycakes for a moment before looking up again so he doesn't trip while walking.]

[action]

[puubuu]

Nah, don't jog. I might get distracted and fall off if you do. [He's already scanning his surroundings, looking around at the town and making a mental note at his surroundings, when suddenly he remembers something.] Oh no! I think we forgot the spare materials and seeds! Can we go back and get those?

[action]

[echotaker]

Sure! I haven't gone very far.

[Michael is clearly the most faithful and reliable of all mighty steeds. Within a few minutes, they're back where they began.]

Here we are. Get what you need, bud.

[action]

[puubuu]

Puu... how about this? I ride on your shoulder, and you carry the wood and carpeting and the seeds for me? I can't carry all those things at once... sorry, buu. [Just like that, Fattycakes hops up to Michael's shoulder and perches there.]

[action]

[echotaker]

Sure. I don't mind helping out. Besides, I wear this giant backpack for a reason, right? I don't mind putting your things in there until we get where we need to go.

[And he starts gathering everything up.]

[action]

[puubuu]

Yay! Thank you~ [He hops off of Michael's shoulder as he gathers everything up, then hops back on when he finishes.] Shall we go again?

[action]

[echotaker]

So long as you're sure you have everything this time.

[He grins. After a moment longer of double checking, he heads off again, Fattycakes' own personal Chocobo sans theme music.]

Re: [action]

[puubuu]

Yup! This is everything. Thank you~

[Fattycakes begins to buu-buu-buu-buu buu buu buuuuu out a traveling song... which, by coincidence, sounds a bit like the Chocobo music, whether he knows that's it or not.]

[action]

[echotaker]

[Michael laughs as he continues along his merry way. It honestly isn't too long before they near their destination point.]

I think we're just about there, bud.

[action]

[puubuu]

Good, good! Let's see... where exactly should I put my hut? [He peers forward, trying to find the perfect place.] Maybe I'll go... a bit north of the bridge, but not directly by the river.

[action]

[echotaker]

[Michael takes this direction to heart and moves along accordingly.]

All right! No worries; I'll head there.

[action]

[puubuu]

Yay! Away we go~ I'm excited. Once we're there, put the stuff down and I'll start building.

[action]

[echotaker]

It's good to be excited about these things. Gotta keep a positive attitude, Fattycakes. Remember that.

[And he keeps on trekking. It isn't much longer before they arrive, Michael humming on and off as he walks.]

[action]

[puubuu]

[Whenever Michael hums, Fattycakes hums a tune of his own. Finally, when they reach the spot, Fattycakes jumps off his shoulder and skitters off into the wooded area by the bridge.] Puu! Over here! Over here!

[action]

[echotaker]

[Michael hurries over to follow the bouncing ball of fluff, chuckling at its enthusiasm.]

I'm coming, I'm coming!

[action]

[puubuu]

Bring the stuff, Michael! I think this is a good place to start building! [Hop, hop.]

[action]

[echotaker]

[And he brings everything over as needed.]

Sure thing little buddy. I'll even lay it out for you.

[He gets to work unpacking.]

[action]

[puubuu]

Puuu~ This is good! Let me know when you've got everything over here so I can start setting up, okay?

[action]

[echotaker]

[Eventually, he has everything laid out before them.]

I'm pretty sure this is everything, little guy!
