The Midnight Train to Nowhere

“Well, they’re gone. Can we rest now?” Songbird muttered and tried to push himself off of the pillar. However, he decided to be lazy for a few minutes more and slid down instead, slumped against the stone like a limp noodle. “I’m so beat. Not as beat as the dead nobodies though,” He joked sarcastically then sighed.

Bad day for Thugbird.

“Vicky, could you look after them? I have to run after the other humans,” Rider gestured at the various people shooting off on a race and then got on his mount; Ellianne’s speed made it so that he was near the middle part of the group before long. Victoria turned back only to see three humans still hesitating to ride their mounts. She sighed, rolled her eyes, and then got down from her saddle. “Aight kids, what’s the problem here?” She walked over, hands on her hips, with a none-too-pleased expression on her face.

Five minutes later they were strapped in and ready to go, and their group easily catched up to Avian who hung back on the rear of the racers.
“How’d you convince them to get on the chocobos?” Avian murmured as he rechecked the Ghysal greens container that was hanging down from Ellianne’s left side. So far all of these were enough for everyone. “Trust me hun, you wouldn’t want to know,” His wife replied and smiled.

After watching the humans race against each other some more, Victoria turned towards her husband. “Do you want to race me?” She smirked and Illumine’s fluffy white ears perked up. Avian smiled, then tilted his head to the side. “Okay, what’s the catch?” He finally asked, an amused smile on his face as Ellianne snorted. The redhead leaned over and whispered something in his ear, before laughing and then urging Illumine to run forward.

“H-He- Wait! That’s not up for a bet!” The young man yelled after her and Ellianne pushed against the ground, instantly chasing after the white tiger and the bounty huntress.

They even passed the humans.

“Come back here! Victoria! That’s not funny!” Avian hollered, pale as a piece of chalk as the tiger bounded away.

“Are we there yet?” Lute was still rubbing the spot where Atlas’s fist connected with his shoulder. Remind him again why people punch each other? Maybe it was a personal preference. He never saw Atlas punch Robin. On the contrary, Robin loved punching Atlas, especially when he landed in trouble. So, Robin punches Atlas, Atlas punches Lute, and Lute punches whom? Jeff?
The virtuoso broke into a run when Atlas hunted down the creature doggedly; the magician kept flash stepping and Lute kept getting stuck in mud, so by the time he caught up to his friend Atlas was already planted face down on the ground beside the summoner. Not to mention the paparazzi fox was now upgraded into a gigantic one with large scissors.
Lute grabbed Atlas by the collar and pulled him up. “Those are sharp scissors. Wow. Look, the blades are shining!” He laughed nervously and his eyes flicked to the side, assessing the surroundings. No good, the mud was going to prevent speedy movement (for him, at least) and the rain… The rain was, well…

“FISH??”
“Wait, what?” Lute looked up at the sky and was rewarded with a heavy weight suddenly pressing down on his face. He fell down on his back just smack on a mud puddle, sending drops and chunks of wet dirt flying around as his fingers clutched about the thing in vain, slipping again and again on the slimy skin of whatever it was- “Oh, there, got it.”

The relief of seeing what landed on him was short-lived.

“Holy shi- No! You’re supposed to be stomach goop now!,” Lute yelped and threw the blobfish away, crawling backwards as it landed back in the mini mud pond. The blobfish began…Moaning with that anguished expression on his/her face. “I didn’t have a choice!” He screeched (yet again) in reply. Great, now this was turning into a teenage drama, like what, The Blobfish and I: a Wretched Tale of Love between a Klutz and a Blobfish of Unknown Sexual Orientation. What a hit it would be! Lute felt like fainting all of a sudden. He probably would have if Atlas hadn’t grabbed him by the collar (copycat) and reminded him of the fox.

“’No running’!? No running!? Okay! Aight, you’re coming with me! I’m going to make up for my failure!” He said in a determined manner and picked the blobfish up, tucked it under one arm then unsheathed his sword. “Dellie? Okay, thanks. HEY!” Lute’s voice echoed throughout the area, and he waved his sword in the air to get the fox’s attention.
“WIMP!” It wouldn’t look. “YOUR FUR SUCKS! LIKE WHO HAS THAT OCHER HUE NOWADAYS ANYWAY!?” Nada. “OKAY, WELL YOUR CAMERA SUCKS! BIG TIME! I HAVE A GRANDMOTHER WHO COULD MAKE A BETTER ONE!”

That caught its attention. The fox turned towards the virtuoso, its teeth bared back into a snarl (wow offended much?), leaving it open to attacks from its blind side.

Well, it’s not that bad. Okay, the situation they were in (Lute obviously counted himself in trouble too) was unpleasant but at least Atlas wasn’t pounded into a nice limp beef steak. Truth be told the virtuoso had trouble imagining the Pride choosing to do violent things to his friend so he wasn’t all that panicked, save for the cautious bodyguard stance he adopted when Moira moved her greatsword.

Lute stayed close to Atlas like a paperclip stuck on a magnet and kept his (and Delilah’s) ears open for any hiss of a sound that might prove threatening. He didn’t want to admit to himself (or at least to the rational part of his brain) that he was indeed listening in case they get ambushed by more cheddar/mozzarella rogues, but here he was. There was the possibility that the assailants were illusionists, and if they worked for a gang, general circumstances are that the physically more adept types did the hurting. Unless he missed some one-class fad that was going on, Lute was sure that his theory was insubstantial, yet rational enough. The girl who jumped on the chair earlier, the exact one who asked him about the blobfish, was beside his friend and seemed to act like some sort of hound on the scent, which actually (sorta) impressed Lute. He wanted to compliment her, but really didn’t know what to say (“Nice nose. I mean, not your nose nose, but it’s nice too. I meant, your sense of smell-”) so when Lute finally managed to catch Trixie’s eye, he raised a thumb up for the universal “good job!” sign before trying to (inconspicuously) hide himself behind Atlas.

The young man scratched the back of his head and then started to address his friend, about to ask about what they should tell their respective families about their late return, but was cut off by the sudden rumble of thunder and lightning.

Plus rain.

“Don’t get your head weeeet!” Lute half-screeched, half-screamed as he raised his hands over Atlas’s head to shield the man’s newly-healed wounds from the downpour. He realized only after a few seconds that there wasn’t any water falling down on them thanks to Amy’s magic barrier thing.

He looked like he was blessing Atlas.

Lute tucked his hands in his pockets and sighed deeply, then kept up the pace when their group hurried on under Atlas’s direction. He remained in front along with the dark-haired man, and didn’t seem likely to leave that position soon.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Intervieeeeew-
I had fun making this.

Warning! Some green stuff. Mostly Vicky's.

A and V Q&A

Avian. Vicky ...
1. Since when have you been married?
V: “I forgot.”
A: “Around two and a half years.”
10 seconds pass.
A: “*gasps* Sweetheart, how could you forget…!”
V: “Awww, I was just joking around. You look so cute when you’re frustrated. *winks*”
A: “…. *sighs*”

2. Is Vicky the dominant in the pair?
A: “Wha-…? What does that mean? ‘Dominant’? Is that a person who, um, dominates?”
V: “（・∀・）*giggles*”
A: “Er.”
V: “Well, I’m the one who has the whip, so...”

3. Avian, since you had a "mother moment" with prince Tobias, does this mean you'll sit and watch the kids, while Vicky goes out to work?
A: “We’ve guarded the Prince ever since he was a small child, so all of us Royal Dragoons care for him as if he were our family. Of course, the King and his son are of a much higher level but, you get what it is. Fealty to one’s lord-
V: “Yadda yadda.”
A: “Moving on… We both, er, “go to work”, and being a member of the elite protectors system is something that requires your attention 24/7, but I’m sure we’ll adjust once a child comes along. Won’t we, darling? (＾▽＾)”
V: “… ‘If’! ‘If a child comes along’!”
A: “ ‘Once’!”
V: “ ‘If’!”
A: “But-”
V: “No buts. Although to answer the question, Avian here is a big mother hen, so he’ll probably do that. Maybe he’d even tell them bedtime stories-”
A: “ … Them means we’re planning for a big family. （＾ｖ＾)”
V: “*twitches* … Excuse me for a moment.”
(Cue Vicky vs. Avian arena music)

4. Do you two have kids in the first place? If not, when you do plan on having some? A marriage without children is like a summer without fruit, you know. ;)
(They have kids in the second installment of their original rp. One boy (Liun), one gal (Vera). The boy’s pretty much like his dad, except he gets nervous way more easily. The girl’s basically shrunk Vicky + loads of smart wisecracks. 8D)
A: “*laughs nervously* Well, I do want a large family but-”
V: “Hear that? They’re saying we should try harder. *smirks*”
A: “＼(゜ロ＼) (／ロ゜)／＼(゜ロ＼) (／ロ゜)／!!!”
V: “We’ll take the advice to heart. And to other places. *laughs*”
A: “We don’t need to rush it-“
V: “They say practice makes perfect, so let’s do it when we arrive home, okay~?”
A: “*turns pale*”
V: “… Isn’t he adorable? *evil laugh*”

5. Which one of you can cook better?
V: “… “
A: “Me. She can’t cook. (・_・;) Like there was this time she fed me a lump of blackish material, and I realized it was supposed to be a fried egg- ”
(Avian gets booted out of his chair by his wife.)

6. What do you like to eat the most?
V: “The limbs and blood of my enemies.”
A: “… Honey, kids may be reading this.”
V: “ヽ（´ー｀）┌ Oh psh, let them get used to violence early on.”
A: “I like vegetables and mushrooms, so anything with those.”
V: “Meat.”

7. How did you get married in the first place? Was there a ceremony or just a couple of words and that was it?
V: "*smiles*"
A: "..... Well, it was-"
V: "It was still during the war that time, during the invasion of Aven. Avian was part of the rebel army fighting for the freedom of Aven, and I'm pretty much your legendary badass bounty hunter chasing him down. Really long story short: the two of us- er, I defected and walked away together. We discussed the future and how it's likely that we're both going to die in the next few hours, since we pretty much pissed off both sides by leaving, so we decided to... Um... *turns red* Oh gods, it's the mushy stuff. Clogging my mind. Continue for me, Avian."
A: "*laughs* Anyway, we found this abandoned chapel in the middle of a forest, and we decided to go in and seek refuge. The place was really pretty, so ethereal. I thought we were in another world like that, and I almost believed that the war was some sick dream I've had and I finally woke up. Then I realized-"
V: "*groans*"
A: "O-okay, I'll skip the epiphany part. We exchanged our vows there- *blushes*- but when the war was over we married again to make it legal."
V: "And to show everyone how fabulous I look in a backless wedding gown."

8. Where did you get the wolf and tiger from?
A: “They’re our battle companions!”
V: "Yes, exactly. Illumine was a cub when I met him. I think I was hunting down a renowned criminal in the western part of Nowhere, in the Aertfly ruins? The merchants were going to sell him for his fur, but that beautiful little baby, dying so some snotty noble could have her furs- Granted, minks are pretty, but- Ugh, the idiots. I pretty much knocked them all out and walked away with him."
A: "I grew up with Ellianne. My father nursed the mother wolf when their lair was attacked by a bunch of hunters, but she ended up dying like all of her pups. Ellianne was the only one who remained so we adopted her."

9. Who brushes the wolf and tiger when they are shedding their seasonal fur?
V: "Avian. Don't want to get fur under my nails."
A: "It's a fun thing to do, Vicky. You should try it sometime."
V: "No, thank you. I'm happy lounging in the sofa while you chase the two of them."

10. Avian, what would you do if you hear that Vicky wants to shave half of her hair off?
V: “What hair where?”
A: “Do you have hair anywhere asides from the top of your head?”
V: “AHAHAHAHAHA- Excuse me I just- Pbbbbbbbffffffrt-”
A: “… A-anyway, I don’t care. If she wants to do that, then it’s fine. She’ll always look the same in my eyes.”
V: “Wait what!?”
A: “In the best way ever, sweetheart.”
