First Ginger Cookie {accidental video}

[cookiesordeath]

{The video shows what looks like a small girl, standing not far from the device in a black cloak with a staff longer than she is tall in her hands. She's looking around, long pointed ears twitching as they pick up the tiniest of sounds. And then suddenly, she's panicking, and doing a little dance as she does so.}Th-this isn't the past! Ahhh!! Did I

[He knows that voice, he knows that face and suddenly he's smiling as bright as can be. He grabs the tablet and holds it close, about to reply when her shrill cries come out. He winces and pulls back, biting his lip. God damn Taru, this isn't his fault! Zakurai replies with video and snorts, hiding the fact he's happy to see his best friend.]

They aren't rarabs stupid. [He's still smiling, behind the keffiyeh.]

Altana am I glad to see you!! Where are you? I'll come get you!

{She hears the voice, and her ears, now hidden under that gigantic hat, twitch. Finally, she plods over to the device and picks it up. She doesn't even take the time to wonder over what it is, how it works or anything else. All that matters is that Zakurai's face is on it. And she's going to do the exact same to him as she did to the rarabs.}

Where in Vana'diel are we Zakurai?! Start talking now or or or or... ahhhh!!! I swear to Altana I'll find you and I'll burn you to a crisp!!!

{She's grinning, so he'll be able to tell she isn't serious - not completely anyway.}

Pff... I'm at the docks. That stupid Skeleton guy left me here. I thought for sure he was gonna attack me, and I had no buffs or anything...

[He rolls his eyes and shakes his head slowly.]

Not like you to buff up Feo.

We aren't in Vana'diel anymore, we're in the Underworld, a completely new place. Stay where you are!

[He doesn't waste any time and leaves his tablet on video, though he's dropped it and out the door after her.]

{And she's doing that thing where she puffs her cheeks up and kicks at the ground, speaking fast and mumbled.}

It's not like we were going anywhere dangerous.

W-wait! Wh-what?! What do you mean we're aren't in Vana'diel? Zakurai? Zak?

{But then he's gone, and she's moments away from planning on setting him on fire again.}

{She's staring right back with her big blue eyes. She doesn't blink at all, but her ears twitch and then an eyebrow creeps up.}

Y-you got a problem with that buddy?

[cookiesordeath]

Hmmm...

{A moment more staring, then she decides he wasn't planning on teasing and mocking her and she nods and smiles, though it's a little confused looking.}

What do you mean what am I? I'm a Tarutaru, of course! And the finest Black Mage in all of Vana'diel! {A little giggle and a grin.} Well, one day I will be, anyway.

...They're kidnapping children now?

[She quirks an eyebrow at the small sea of dead bunny corpses.]

Child mages, even.

[Video]

[cookiesordeath]

{Ooh, another new face! But she's huffing like crazy right now, blushing and all.}

I'm not a child!! I'm eighteen! Jeez, what's with all you humes today? Forget what Tarutaru look like or something?!

[Video]

[leaporfall]

[Blink. Blink.]

...A what?

[She remembers her manners belatedly, and grimaces slightly.]

I'm sorry, I'm afraid your race - doesn't actually exist, where I'm from.

[cookiesordeath]

{She looks genuine shocked. How could anyone not have heard of Tarutaru, seriously? And two people in one day!}

Woah! So have I accidentally warped to some Hume tribe that's really out of the way? What about Elvaan? Do you know about them? Or Galka? C'mon, you can't forget those big oafs!!

[Junpei has no idea what he is staring at so his eyes are wide and he definitely looks impressed.]

That was awesome! Dude, what are you?

[Video]

[cookiesordeath]

{Finally! A hume that recognises her skills!! Thought, he was dressed kind of funny.}

Hehehe, I know, I am pretty awesome! I'm Feorlin, Tarutaru Black Mage Extraordinaire!

[Video]

[tereteindahouse]

Heh. I have no idea what a tarutaru is but nice meetin' ya, Feorlin! I'm Junpei.

[cookiesordeath]

{She bounces up and down a little, waving to the man on the other side, smiling real wide.}

A Tarutaru is me! Nice to meet you, Junpei!
