uccellodifuoco | 7th Rise of the Phoenix ஜ Voice/Action

[Ikki's currently walking around the village, not running but he's actually close to. He keeps looking around with a frown, his Cosmo reaching out trying to find something and failing. The Malnosso got him a curious gift, an arctic wolf cub. Why they thought he wanted one or would be good at handling it, he has no idea. Part of him does like the idea of having that animal with him, a companion of sorts, but really, he has never had time for pets or experience with them.

Which leaded him to his current problem. There's a wolf cub running all around the village, caring little about the snow or the surroundings. See him sneaking into shops and houses with the doors vaguely open and just in general run and play around. With Ikki trying to catch up with it. It would be easier if the animal's light vanilla fur stood up more in the snowed village as he keeps losing sight of it and the animal's Cosmo is still too small for Ikki to pick it up easily.]

Damnit! Hyoga! Come back here!

[The wolf cub, Hyoga, pays deaf ears to the calling. Probably because he's convinced that they are just playing. Help a newbie on the field of taking care of pets understand that the more he runs after it, the more the animal will keep running away?

Later in the day, once he's back home and has Hyoga with him, Ikki will make a voice post.]

Anyone around here knows anything about pet care? Dogs or wolves, specifically.

Probably just the item shop. And if you get a really long one, it's not really that restrictive.

[Smoker understands the idea of not like restraining things however. Since he himself hates being restricted.]

That's true... Do you have experience with animals?

[At least you seem to know more than him.]

Not that much. But we use animals for just about everything in my world. Seagulls for mail, den den mushi for communications, so I guess basic working knowledge is necessary.

Den den mushi? What's the difference with seagulls carrying mail?

They're like psychic snails that carry voice and sometimes video or faxes, but they have a pretty short range usually. Especially the ones you can carry around.

So they are like a telephone... You said your world was mostly islands so I suppose it's normal you wouldn't have those.

[Ikki hums in amusement for a moment.]

Must be hard to live in your world and be unable to stay in water without getting sick.

I have no idea what that is, but possibly?

[Shrugs.] It's not like I go diving or anything.

Basically a device that allows communication no matter how long or short the distance is, so long as there are wires reaching that place, so there are places where it can't reach.

[At least yet, he shrugs anyway and chuckles at his comment.]

I didn't mean you or the other people who had eaten a devil fruit of those. But there are people who get sick by just being near the ocean, at least in my world.

Wires? Sounds complicated.

Just by being near it? [Blinks in surprise.] Well, there are thousands of illnesses in my world, but I'm not sure salt air is one of them.

Pretty much. And dangerous, there's a lot of electricity going through those things after all.

No, huh? And people who get sick when sailing on a ship? Are there any?

Hn. One thing to definitely say for den den, they aren't dangerous.

Motion-sickness? A few, but they get used to it after a couple of days.

I would be surprised if snails were dangerous... Though not at them being dangerous but as the people of your world considering them dangerous.

Well, that's close to what I meant but not exactly. I guess there's none in your world after all.

[Small chuckle.]

I suppose not. I guess if there was anyone, they'd stay up in the mountains.
