4th Bravery | Action

[radiantchicken]

Who: Tater and Bakura
What: Tater wanted to see the pink stone down in the tunnels. Bakura's going to oblige.
Where: The tunnels!
When: Sunday afternoon.


Tater was perched on Bakura's shoulder and trying not to be too excited about this. He didn't want to have to ask people to take him places--he was his own parrot, and a very self-sufficient one at that!--but at least Bakura hadn't seemed to mind when Tater wanted to go take a look at the subway tunnels where the mysterious stone was.

"Are we almost there?" he asked eagerly as they went deeper down into the tunnels.

"What if I put it in an envelope?" Tater liked envelopes. They were fun to shred. It would be an envelope covered in parrot marks.

[shiromadoushi]

"Mmmm, that could work. Long as you didn't leave it there too long...."

[radiantchicken]

"See! I'm this much closer to being self-sufficient!" Even though he liked being around people, Tater liked the idea of being able to take care of himself.

[shiromadoushi]

The teen chuckled with a fond note. "For when Thomas is a flake with the groceries, you can have it covered, huh?"

[radiantchicken]

"Or...I could..." The parrot gasped at the magnitude of what he had just realized. "I could phone in and join that Fruit of the Month Club thing I saw on TV!"

[shiromadoushi]

... "Don't go calling numbers you see on TV. Most of them are scams," Bakura pointed out. "Besides, you'd need a credit card for that kinda thing."

[radiantchicken]

"But the Fruit of the Month Club seemed legitimate! And I've used Thomas's credit card before." There was no mistaking the note of pride in the parrot's voice. "I had to pay the museum back for a ticket from that time I visited! And I bought a bus pass, even if I can't actually use the pass itself when I use the bus."

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura opened his mouth before closing it, blinking. "...Does he know you did?" he asked, curious and a touch impressed.

[radiantchicken]

"I think he does! I was kind of hard on the keyboard when I tried to get on the internet-thing. He noticed the claw-marks on that, and then I kind of chewed up the card a little bit on accident..." Parrots. They're destructive.

[shiromadoushi]

...

"Only way you could hold it, huh?"

[radiantchicken]

"Well, it's not like I have hands," Tater replied defensively.

[shiromadoushi]

"And your feet weren't good for it?"

[radiantchicken]

He wiggles his clawed toes at Bakura. "They help, but I still have claws."

[shiromadoushi]

"Aaa, true... That would have the same sort of damage, wouldn't it?..."

He paused, blinking, as if just remembering why they were down in the subways to start with. "Aa-- was there more you wanted to see? Or should we head back up?"

[radiantchicken]

"It would! But that's okay--you get used to it!"

He looked around the area a bit more. "I think we're done here, if it all looks like this stuff. Thank you for taking me!"

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura nodded with a grin. "Any time~ Though I don't think down here's going to change much...."
