So, since I'm feeling better, I think I'm going to head up to The Curious Cait and check our stock.

Don't wait up for me, Val. It'll take a while.

[she groans, and her voice is pretty freaking pathetic-sounding.]

I think I'm getting sick—or I already am sick. I ache all over, and everything keeps spinning. I'd grab a potion, but every time I try to get up, I kind of uh, fall over.

[she sort of sniffles.]

My floor is actually sorta comfortable. After lying on it for like, an hour, I guess it has to be.

So I'll just wait for everything to stop whirling, okay? Then maybe I'll get up.

[recording cuts.]

Normally when I see something creepy-crawly that obviously doesn't belong in my garage, I let it go on its way. I just wait around until it's gone, y'know? Never met a bug who made me—okay, that's a lie, I have met bugs who've made me cringe.

But I've never really thrown anything at them, y'know? Mind you, this one was like, the size of my head, so I was perfectly justified in my actions. And now I'm out two perfectly good wrenches.

Ugh. I've been here too long.

Ah, my second Christmas in Purgatorium. My second one ever, actually. I 'member how much fun I had last year, picking out presents and stuff. I think I still have some of those little machina around somewhere...

No, I gotta make them better this year. Way, way better.

In other news, I think I need to reorganize the kynyka. Things are getting maybe a little too messy for me. Surprising, I know. But it's true. So I'll work on that.

Right after I fix up this aqbmuceja~

Sheesh. Time flies when you're caught up in a project, huh? Guess I gotta work on that a little bit.

So, anyways. I'm in the mood for—well, I'm in the mood. I'll be back late tonight, Tony. ♥

[ooc; *screamies* idk if tony is living with her still or not, so if he isn't, just ignore this katie-baby.]

What the vilg is on my forehead?!

No, no, no, no! It's just... just cu drana! Shiva, Shiva, Shiva I need—vilg! Syga ed ku yfyo!

...

...

I'm going to be in my room all day. Drec cilgc.

[ooc; 8) GREED is stamped all nice and pretty on her face. we'll see about other indications later~]

[recording starts with a low, feminine groan. shifting of material-on-material. after a few seconds, all sound stops, and her breathing speeds up and becomes pretty shallow. suddenly, there's a scrambling, and her voice comes in, distinctly higher-pitched and panicky.]

Frana ys E?! What the—where's the—why am I not on the airship?

Brother, this had better not be one of your stupid games! If it is, so help me I'll damm Cid yht ryja res fruub ouin fundrmacc reta! Just wait 'till he finds out you left me on my own again. There's no way you'll get out of this one—not even Buddy will be able to save you.

[there's the sound of her taking a deep breath as if to continue, and then an abrupt pause. her tone becomes fascinated, curious.]

This is—rumo Shiva there is so much machina around here! Jeeze, whoever hangs out here has some great taste! I mean, look at these tools! [clanking of metal.] Jeeze, if Pops ever got in here, he'd about have a heart attack!

[the clinking continues, and eventually the recording cuts.]

I'm thinking I'm going to build something. Like a hover. A big hover. 'Cause, y'know, a girl can never have too many hovers. I mean, they're so useful. I could tow things all the way across town and not even break a sweat.

A trip to the junkyard is in order, I think.

Hm. I don't think a toaster oven is supposed to sound like that.

...

...

Cred.

So many new people. ♥ Welcome to Purgaotrium, vnacrsayd~ My name is Rikku. I'm likely to employ most or all of you at some point or another.

Why, you ask?

Simple. Because not only do I run the only garage in this credruma, but I'm also the co— sole-owner of the Curious Cait Item Shop. Has a nice ring, yea~? I thought of the name. Anyways, I'm always hiring, so just drop by or let me know in some other fashion if you're in need of a job.

Right. ♥

In other news, I've decided on that tattoo. A dragonfly. A biomechanical dragonfly. I still need to find a parlor, but that's not the big secret. It's that you'll all just have to guess as to where I'm going to put it~
