This is absolutely precious! What a cutie pie! Now I really want to draw Yosh and his family!

And don't worry, Nana and Toroth can babysit Osey any time.

<LoL!> You might take that back when you see what a cluck he is. ;)

The whole story of my son being a chicken came when, during his preschool years, he'd come home and just constantly say "Pickle" and "Chicken". So I started calling him a "Pickle Chicken". Over time, he stopped saying the words on a daily basis and would proudly announce, "I'm not a Pickle Chicken anymore, daddy!" Of course, being a loving father, I still call him that anyway. :)

The story for "Yosh's World" is different. Though, as Toroth has probably shared, there are a lot of parallels. Lots of fun! :)

AWWWW. He reminds me to Chicken Little

<LoL!> And you earn a Gold Star for figuring out the inspiration for how I wrote up "He is a boy who turned out a chicken." Awesome!

YAY, I WIN A GOLD STAR, NOW WITH THAT, I CAN DO RANDOM THING LIKE THIS VIDEO:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7IZPMf1lHA
(By the way, the video its not mine)

Your Gold Star is well earned indeed. You certainly are a true, Mafiosso. :) haha.

Now, if you earn a Platinum Star, I wonder what you could become...?

OH YEAH, I AM A TRUE Horse....What i say that?

How about a Platinum Star by this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABrkDu3jbpU

<LoL!> Now that was one interesting video. Though, not quite Platinum Star worthy.

Now, by "True Horse" if you were to imply some sort of "Friendship is Magic" relationship, I do believe you may be on to something. :)

The Gold Star definitely still stands. Gaboo!

I WANT THAT STAR, and here something realted with MLP:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARv4C2LB45Q

*Reaches into his pocket and pulls out a Platinum Star and pins it to you* Pinkie-Pie bothering first-person shooters is definitely worthy of such a high-rank. Well, done! :)

YEAH, thank you Pinkie for this, now, LETS FLY!!!
*Use a jetpack from the nowhere* YEEAAAH!!!

*Salutes as you take to the skies* Now there goes a truly determined fellow. :)

THANK YOUU *Made some awesome tricks*

*Puts on a pair of flight goggles and watches in awe*

Now that's platinum. :)

SWAAAAG

Does this mean some pony watched the PONY.MOV works?

well, the work swag means like do something like cool
just something weird i said

<LoL!> I can appreciate that. :)

thanks XD

Awwww, he's really cute ^^

Nishi does wonders when it comes to cute. It's why I was very thankful for this fun, family-oriented piccie he did for me for Star Day.

Good to see you around again, Ozzie. *Hugs* I've been a bad, dino-ducky not reading your work, but I do promise to get to it ASAP. Really. *Wide Eyes* I haven't forgotten, nor will I. :)

*hugs* Hehe, its okay. I know life stuff gets in the way sometimes. Good to talk to you again. I've been feeling kinda blah for a few days. Just not much going on and its been a mix of boredom and stress.

Oh... *Huggles tight and pat-pats your bottom* Boredom is one thing, but stress is a completely different animal. Is anything you'd care to share? Hopefully it isn't anything too serious.

I have had a little stress, too, as I have been really scared to try and watch NetFlix again since my eye has become what has it has become. However, I sat down and did it with my son tonight, who was begging me all day to watch something with him, and it didn't go anywhere near as bad as I thought it might.

Fear is a truly frightening and controlling thing. I do hope your stress is not fear related. Especially I hope your stress is not condition related as, today, I really blew it with my wife as I asked her to describe what my "good" eye looked like and, ever since, she's been in a very down and unhappy mood. All I wanted was to know what other people see and, from her reaction, I must look pretty awful to anyone who doesn't know I'm still able to see a bit and giving life my all.

*Big crinklehug* Never stop giving your all, good friend. Yosh is always here for you. Though, Tavi is even more there for you and you can always count on him to scare away the meanies. :)

*huggles n crinklewags* Yeah, its different, but when boredom is paired with it it can cause things to feel worse than they are. I guess I'm just always worried about my health and the future. I feel pains and wonder if they are something more serious than they are. I worry about the stability of the household when someone here feels depressed or upset about something. If one feels down, it tends to bring us all down.

Awww, I'm glad you got to watch Netflix with your son, and I'm also glad it wasn't as bad as you thought. Sometimes our goals have to outweigh our fears so we can stand against them triumphant.

I'm sure your wife is okay still. She probably tries not to think about it, but in all honesty, you just wanted to know out of curiosity. I've never seen your face really, but I bet its not as bad as you think it is. *hugs* You never stop giving it your all either good friend. ^^ Tavi and I are here for you, always pulling for you.

*Huggles you tight and lifts you into his body while nuzzling your cheek* It can be real hard to not be afraid of a difference in how one feels. Especially when you know a certain "ache" or "feeling" can be associated with one's condition and the last thing either of us want is for our situations to get any worse than what they already are.

Lately, I have found taking my Clonopin 2x a day helps me to keep calm. It is surprisingly dirt cheap compared to my other medications and, as I discussed with my therapist, I think it helps lower my blood pressure in which gets raised when I become mentally aware of how truly lousy my vision is. A lot of recent job duties I have been asked to do have been REALLY bad at making me feel horrible about my vision and, along with cubbing, snuggling my Spike, and the Clonopin, I manage to keep steady enough to remind myself that it is okay that I am doing my best and that, if any of my co-workers have a problem with my speed and/or accuracy, they'll let me know. After all, self-fulfilling prophecies are the worst and, when you have a degenerative disease, it is hard to not think of a million-kabillion of them once one mental trigger occurs.

And, I am very familiar with how one person's attitude near you can make you feel more "ugh". My therapist described this as a "Psychic Vampire" and those who bring you down by being down are the worst when they offer no positive energy beyond constantly going on-and-on regarding a negative in their lives. Not to say Lucca or Uno are that way. As far as I can tell, Lucca and Uno are pretty cool friends. It just is hard to see someone, or hear someone, all sad and not know how to help make them feel better.

And, well, I will not be ever asking my wife to look at my eye ever again. It took her into a very sad state all day yesterday after I did and we ended the day by discussing why folks like Ray Charles and other blind folk may truly wear sunglasses. This, of course, is to hide how diseased their eyes look. Thanks to barely surviving blindness last year, my "good eye" can best be described as a lumpy, red ball that is covered in a disturbing, blue haze. Not pretty. Nope, nope, nope.

Lately, in therapy, I've been working on discussing how much better my life will become when I do become completely blind. Right now there are TONS of things I can't do in order to maintain what sight I have left. However, when blindness does become me, all those limitations, along with drugs, will go away. I don't like thinking about it, but getting a mental start on knowing there will be positives to be a big negative is nicer than dreading darkness.

Along with this, we both can agree we have mates who are in it for the long haul. Knowing Tavi will be there even if things do happen to get worse certainly has to make you feel a little bit better. The same goes for having my wife and son. After all, as we share, we have our minds and our minds are fortunately not connected with the broken parts of our bodies. :)

*huggles n nuzzles* ^^ Yeah, I feel the difference between how I used to feel and how I feel now. I never needed a hospital stay or major surgery until I was in my mid 20s. So I do miss being able to run and just walk without much difficulty. I still have dreams where my body is back to how it used to be and I can run or do whatever.

I've never taken Clonopin, but I've heard of it. Is it a pain reliever or some sort of anti depressant? I take Pristiq and at times it doesn't seem to work so well. My blood pressure has never really been a big issue. The past few times I've had it checked, its been normal. Its only high if I'm nervous about being there or something. I'm glad the Clonopin helps you so much though. ^^ I often wish I had a drug that could just make me feel all cubby and young for a little while. Something that could make me not think of all the bad things going on right now.

Hmmm, then I wonder if since Tavi and I are both empathic, if we are more susceptible to a "Psychic Vampire" or something. I do know that depression can be contageous at times. I'm pretty sure that whomever it is isn't doing it on purpose though. Tavi and I like to do things to lighten the mood, but it doesn't always work.

Awwww, well I can imagine it must be a sight not everyone could deal with. What sort of surgeries did you have exactly and what is your condition called? I've tried looking up info about damage to eyes, but a lot of things come up. I think there could be a new hope coming though, in stem cell research. I read an article about how a ring of stem cells was created and placed on a damaged eye, and the eye healed up. I'm wondering if this could be a treatment for you as well. Unfortunately, some patients experienced the eye damage again some years later as the stem cells weren't being constantly produced. But its a start. If you want to read about it, here's the article: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/.....naturally.html

I've heard that some blind people wear glasses because their eyes do open, but they have a white ring to them and also they wouldn't want people to think they were staring at something when their eyes could be directed anywhere. So they just wear sunglasses to prevent any confusion. Its not always about how the eye looks to other people. After all, its not like they can help it.

Its good to know that there will be some positives to your condition, but I know that the obvious negative can keep you down still. *hugs* Just keep up hope that someday maybe it can be cured or prevented. Keep the hope alive and also mentally prepare yourself for what could happen. Just try not to focus on it too much. I'll try and do the same on my end. I'm so glad we both have support in our lives, both online and off. *huggles*

*Huggles tight in his onesie jammies that are covered from top to bottom with duckies* I have heard wordof how stem cel research is getting to a point where those of us with eye problems may hope of reparing all the damage our respective conditions have done. I just hope the research keeps coming along as, honestly, I'd be glad to make myself a test subject for it if it had the glimpse of hope of allowing me to see my wife, son, and the rest of the world for a lot onger than a few more years at best.

As for "Psychic Vampirism", I know my wife and I can be like that to each other. Actually, it was a major cause of our relationship issues between September and December of last year. She was upset and I was upset and neither of us felt we were able to help the other and things got really ugly. By this, I got a little naughtier than I should've with Nishi and consequently really crossed the line with mmy wife. Not only that, I made it a double wammy as, before surgery 6, I asked her if I could please wear a diaper to help me soothe myself and it made her so upset and neither of us were happy and, well, it was awful and climaxed at her thinking I was in love with Nishi instead of her. :( No fun at all and I seriously don't miss those days. We may get days in which we can "sense" ow the other is feeling, but nothing like the second half of 2012.

Clonopin is an anti-anxiety drug. It is supposed to make you really sleepy. However, for me, it just helps make me to calm down for a period and keep focused beyond on how difficult life is now that my vision is worse. It really isn't an expensive drug, but it is one I do hope to one day get off. However, after all I've been through and am going through, I have a feeling me and anti-anxiety and anti-depression drugs are going to be pretty tight for a good while to come. Especially now that I have a lot of mental PTSD over hospital stays and ow I have typically, since 2008, have had terrible summers that all have made me go into very bad places both mentally and physically.

Fortunately, though, we have our cubby and hatchy worlds to escape into. And, although it is hard for my wife, she does now let me wear my ducky diaper on Mondays to work and it makes me feel extra special as opposed to extra lonely when I'm at work. I dream of a day I can be all padded up , held, rocked, and patted on my rump to a soft chorus of "Everything is okay." Though, it is more a dream then a true reality so I keep it in mind as I work to lull my mind away from scary places that make me think the darkest of thoughts.

Oh! The condition I was born with is "Congenital Glaucoma". It is basically when your eye can't naturally get rid of the fluids that naturally are a part of it and the consequent build-up of fluid increases pressure that presses on your optic nerve until it is destroyed. Surgeries can control this, along with medications. However, only to a degree.

As a result of my condition, I have lost my cornea and am soon to lose my corneal implant as it is "adenemus" and only quality care on my part will avoid it from growing blisters that could cause an infection. I also had a detached retina that needs to be taken good care of and, thus, no ore roller-coasters or flying for me. *Shrugs*

Though, again, I go back to what we've discussed and that is we are good people trapped in broken bodies. No matter what happens, we can always count on our mates to love the "real" us and that is a gift I am happy to have. We may degenerate on the outside, but we can always regenerate on the inside by overcoming all that life throws our way.

*Snuggles* Be well, Ozzie and have a ducky night!

*huggles in my crinkly diapee* I do hope stem cell research can do a lot for you and others. It seems to be an effective means of treating various things.

Ah, that has happened with me and Tavi before, but it is usually someone else giving off bad vibes, or just me being all stressed out. Sometimes we both have a bit of a naughty RP with someone, but we both know that its not cheating and doesn't mean we don't still love each other. I doubt your wife is the online type, so I don't think she would understand the appeal. I'm sure you've tried telling her its just a fantasy and way to escape reality for a bit.

Hmmm, well I may ask the doctor to try it sometime since my anxiety does still get the better of me a lot. I just wouldn't want it to make me more sleepy than I already am every day. I sometimes take a sinus med that makes me really sleepy, so if I take it I have to take it before bed.

I'm glad your wife lets you wear your diapee to work sometimes. Its a step in the right direction. ^^ Have you ever asked her to hold you and tell you things will be okay? Maybe if you can do something romantic with her, she will do something with you. Give and take.

Oh okay. I looked it up and I think I have some idea of what your eye looks like. I remember when my little sister had to have eye surgery to fix a lazy eye condition she had. She had that done when she was still a toddler though, and it worked out for her. But I remember her eye being very red and puffy after surgery though. It still probably isn't as bad as you think it is.

We also like to feel like we are not our conditions. We are people like everyone else. We're just different in some areas. We can also count on each other to be there online at least. ^^ *snuggles* Have a soft and cuddly night!

*Huggles and pat-pats your padded rump* I actually had a soft and cuddly day as I got some powder and got it in my ducky diaper and it made my cubicle area smell really happy and took away A LOT of stress from having to do the same, boring thing for over 7.5 hours today. With any luck, I hope to do the same tomorrow as, despite being daring, I REALLY like wearing my duckies. *Giggles* I was leaned up against a wall today and could feel a little of the extra padding and couldn't help but wiggle about as I waited my turn for the microwave. It felt nice to be hatchy. Yes it did!

And, well, if my wife cries every time she looks straight at my eye, I know it's pretty bad. Oh, well, though. It is what it is. Perhaps, one day, I'll post a picture of it to show what to expect if anyone were to meet me for the first time. After all, when I met a Brony IRL, I think it was a little off-putting the way my eye oozed and appeared. I don't like that being a focal point of myself and I am all for getting it out in the open so anyone who sees me knows in advance, "Yes. His eyes are REALLY Eff'ed up! Now focus on something else like how socially awkward he is." :) <LoL!>

My Tina Bear really isn't much the online type. I was OL buddies with people starting way back in 1998 and trusting people with my addresses since then, too. I have yet to really have even one bad experience in trusting, which is great, as I tend to have people gravitate towards me who are very nice and just looking for an understanding and creative pal. The fact I now text some folks is really nice, too, as I don't have to be limited to PC usage in order to share times.

Clonopin is really nice and, as my Psychiatrist said, it is the anti-anxiety pill that has the least amount of side effects or chances for addiction. It's worst side effect is tiredness. However, for me anyway, as long as I am doing something I don't notice it. Now, if I get bored, then I notice it and it hits pretty good. However, the mental and physical serenity is nice.

Oh, I was curious if you had a chance to glance over "Spike and Yoshi Meet Tacki" yet? If you are ever bored, I think you might like that story. It's in my more immediate gallery. :)

Be well, Ozzie! It is always quacktacular to share times with you.

*huggles n pats your crinkle bottom too* ^^ Awwww, that sounds wonderful! As long as you don't over do the powder, it should be fine. Adults use baby powder sometimes after a bath, so I don't think anyone would say anything even if they did notice. Hehe, I remember having similar feelings when I wore pull up Depends to work. ^^

Well, it may be off putting to some, but its not something you can really help. It would be like asking someone to hide their broken leg or arm when going out. *hugs*

Awww, I see. I've been talking with people online pretty much since the same time. Usually family and friends, before I discovered there were other crinkle butts out there. I never really gave my address to anyone I didn't feel I knew very well, but I did have a friend in the UK who called me once. It was nice. Tavi and I text with a lot of babyfurs. If you want to text with us sometime, I can let you have our numbers. ^^ I'm not really good with voice calls, but texts I can do just fine.

Ah, I see. Maybe I should talk with the doctor about it then. I just wouldn't want it to make me even more tired so that I end up sleeping even more than I currently do. I would probably just use it when I felt extra stressed or something. It gives you some sort of mental and physical serenity too? Does it make you feel all cubby and hatchy?

I just read it when you mentioned it. Its a very cute story. ^^ I'm not a fan of MLP or anything, but I do think Spike is cute, and meeting other cubs is always fun. I think Ozzie would be like a care-free sort, like a baby Doctor Who that goes around through time and space meeting other cubs and playing, and maybe even saving the day occasionally. Hehe, he also would cause some accidental regression and is totally against potty training.

I hope you will be well too! Its always nice talking with you. ^^

Hmm. Perhaps we could exchange a text, or hundred, sometime. If you feel like reaching out my way, I'll offer my PM box as, I'm sure you agree, no sense having the world come after you when all we'd do is perhaps say "Hi!" and maybe exchange a thought or two. :) Plus, nothing like a cub hotline. *Giggles*

A Cubby "Doctor Who", eh? Now that sounds fun! What would your Time Travel device be? A magical crib? Or, perhaps, a little playhouse? Lots of fun possibilities for an Ozzie Tartus. :)

Most folks take Clonopin in the morning and before bed. So, it may not effect you too much beyond making sleeping easier by taking away negatives and allowing you to focus on positives when your mind is at its weakest. I take mine at 8 AM and 3 PM. That's an approximate as I like having as much control over my mind as possible while not letting the "Oh, Yoshi! My Eye!" get in the way.

Clonopin helps me relax and feel soothed. My thoughts and, if ducky diapered, make me get all hatchy. That, or a fun text session with a friend or a snuggle or kiss with my Spike plushie. I love my Spike.

I hope you and Tavi have a wonderful night. Thanks for reading the story and I hope you were able to find some fun in it beyond the massive, MLP references. :)

Hehe, sures! I can give ya Tavi's number too if ya want. He likes to chat about anything other than art. Hehe, so I'll note ya with em. ^^

Hehe, kinda like Doctor Who but not exactly. Ozzie doesn't really have a time traveling vehicle, he just opens portals and goes through. Though he could make a time traveling playhouse or something if he really wanted to. He just kinda shows up out of no where and when some asks where he's from he just says something like "far away" or something.

Awww, I see. I'd probably just take it before bed then. If it could keep the nasty thoughts away, that's good for me. ^^

Hope you and your family have a wonderful night too. And you're welcome ^^ I did find fun in it, especially the diapee parts. Hehe

*Giggles* The diapee parts were fun to write. As Toroth put it, "Nothing wrong with fan service". Though, at the same time, it was towards plot and character development. The primary illustration being Spike being able to mature out diapers while Yosh is still working on it.

And thanks for sharing the numbers. I don't think I'll write Tavi unless he shows an interest as I imagine he is swamped. Though, I will look forward to firing a text off to you at some point to establish things. I'll be sure to write "Yosh" and "Crinkle" in it somewhere. :)

Normal dosage for Clonopin is 0.5 MG. However, for you, I'd go for the 1 MG as your weight may make it harder for your body to metabolize it at 0.5 MG only. Especially if you are aiming to take it before bed to keep the scaries away. :)

Hehe, I know when I write, the diapee parts are really fun. ^^ You can still tell a story while also working in what others like to read. Hehe

You're welcome ^^ Feel free to text either one of us, since we both like to chat. No one has been very chatty with us today for some reason. I had to go get more blood drawn for testing today, and its a very warm day, so I was uncomfortable most of the time.

Ah, yeah, they usually do up dosages a bit when taking my weight into account. I don't like to be reminded that I'm heavy, but I guess its just another thing I have to deal with.

*Huggles* I'm sorry to have brought it up. It was more to ensure, if you go for it, you get it right the first time as going to doctors is no fun and it is better to feel better faster. *Snugs*

*Sigh* I know what you mean on being reminded, though. Today there were a few things I just genuinely couldn't do at my job that, a year ago, I could have. :( It scares me knowing limitations are growing, but I'm working to adapt as I can without getting down on myself.

Hopefully the blood draw went well. Will you get a report back in a few days to let you know how everything went? Or were they able to tell you right there in the office?

Be well, Ozzie. Again, it's not your body that matters, it is you, the real you, that matters. *Huggles and rocks while gently pat-patting on your diaper* There are lots of things out of our control, but we can't blame ourselves for the scars our bodies bear for surviving what we must. If anything, think of your body as what was and your mind as what will always be. :)

*huggles* Awww, its okay. I didn't mean you reminding me of it, but when the doctors remind me of it. At least I'm not gaining any more weight, which is good. ^^

Awww, sorry to hear that. I'm sure your co-workers understand though. We can get mad or upset or downright depressed about our conditions, but it won't change things. So I just add them to the list. I try to go with the flow if at all possible. Like so I can't do this or that by myself anymore, but its kind of like being little again. There are things you couldn't do or do by yourself, and now need that kind of help again. It can help get into a cubby mindset if you think about it that way.

It went well. The lady was there that usually does it, and she knows where to stick me each time. She said she will call back tomorrow with the results, so we'll see. Sometimes they do and sometimes I have to call and ask.

*huggles n pats yer diapee too* Indeed it is. ^^ We are always who we have been inside, even if the outside changes a bit.

hiya Osey, I'd be more then happy to watch ya when ever ya need it, I'm actually great friends with your dad (smiles)

OSEY: "BUCK-BUCK!" *Runs towards you*

YOSH: The Mrs. and I have wanted some time to ourselves... ;)

(smiles) anything for a friend, and its all free too ^w^ (takes osey home and watches him for you)

*Tina Bear and Yosh wave after handing you a bag of clothes and toys*

YOSH: Have fun, Osey!

TINA BEAR: If you need us, our number is on his bag!

(smiles at Osey) you and me are gonna have alot of fun, Osey =)

*Flutters his wings and clucks as he looks up at you. He seems to be able to fly a bit more than the average chicken, but not by much. He then reaches for your hand while looking back towards his home with a tear in his eye*

I have an idea, it helped me when I was away from my family, I carried a picture of them, and when it came time to sleep I held the picture close and it helped me, would you like to do that, or do you just want to stay at home?

*Osey looks at you. He then looks back at the door where his parents are standing. He then looks back at you and then back at his parents and then starts getting frustrated over how he wants to go, but is scared and is looking for someone to make a decision for him*

here, I'll tell ya what, I'll take you with me and the moment you want to go home, I'll take you home, how does that sound? =)

Buck, buck, buck... *Looks to his mom who is already running to give him a family photo. Dad comes up and pats his son on the head*

YOSH: Go have fun, buddy! Flamey is a real, fun guy and even babysat me when I was a kid!

OSEY: Buck-buck...?

TINA BEAR: It's okay, *gives a kiss* Mom and dad are here if you get scared.

*He looks at you and then the picture and then nods while grabbing for your hand*

(smiles at yosh) when would you like your son back? =)

OSH: Anytim---

TINA BEAR: *Squeezing her husband's beak* Before dark. *Quickly dashes into the house and bring out a coat* And here's a coat if he gets cold.

hee hee, ok then tonight it is ^w^

*You watch Tina Bear elbow Yosh in the side for trying to pawn off his son as you and Osey make your way out to the sidewalk. Osey then looks at you, then his picture, smiles, and clucks while pointing at your tummy and looking way up at how tall you are compared to him. He looks so far up that he gets off balance and falls on his bottom*

(smiles and picks Osey up and hugs him to my belly)

*Osey giggles as he feels his feathery body rub into your soft, scaly tummy. He seems amused by how you feel different than he does as he sneaks a finger onto your tummy and presses in to take in the tactile feel while rubbing his beak about to explore why you feel so different than he, his daddy, and his mommy feel when snuggling so close*

OSEY: Buck-buck!

(giggles and smiles, thinking he was just rubbing my belly)

*You feel his chicken feet begin to now try and scamper up to your shoulders*

OSEY: Buck-buck ba-buck! (Up, up, up, please!)

(smiles and picks up Osey, then sets him on my neck) hold on ^w^

*Wraps his chicken-legs around you as he takes in the world from an adult-sized view*

Buck-Bah-Buck? (Ooh! High!)

*Grabs your head and plays at your ears with his feathers*

(laughs as my ears flick around as they were played with) hey that tickles X3

*Clucks and clucks as he takes in how fun your ears and body are to play with. He then feathers behind your ears while moving his legs in a kicking outward motion* Buck! Buck-buck! (Let's go!)

ok ok X3 (giggles and takes off for my house)

Bakaw! Ba-Ba-Bakaw! (Hurray! Hurray!) He leans over your head to see all the things flying by faster than he can run as a clucker* Whee-hee-hee!

(jumps into the air and gives a powerful flap of the wings, flying in the sky) ^w^

BA-CAW! *Osey leans back as his feet squeeze tightly around your neck as he almost falls off from the flying surprise. He then gives a series of panicked clucks before fluttering his flightless wings to move himself back up towards your head and hugging around it tightly*

(soon were flying gently into the air, enough so that Osey could let go and looks around)

Buck, buck... *Looks down and is amazed at how the world below looks like one of his toy town sets* Buck-buck-buck! *Flaps his wings happily* (I'm flying!)

(giggles) don't go losing any of your feathers now X3

*Seems lost in how fun it feels to fly. Some feathers are fluffing off and raining down to the world below, but not enough to really worry about* Buck-buck-ba-cluck! *Waves his wings faster as if to say for you to go quicker and/or do a trick so he can feel like he's an aviator*

(picks up some speed and does a corkscrew loop)

Buck-buck-ba-buck! *His wings flap fast as he squeezes his legs super tight around you. His initial response is to cry from being scared until he realizes how safe he is and how a flock of geese have just appeared nearby and are apparently honking at you both*

(giggles and pokes one of the geese then keeps on flying to my home)

*Osey tries to make goose noises, but they all come out more like clucks* Buck, buck! Buck, cluck! *He holds on tight as you continue on your way. His eyes looking towards the flock of geese that are nearly out of view*

(giggles and soon lands at my house) well, here we are ^w^

*Tries to hop of normally, but ends up rolling off instead in a flurry of feathery flaps* Buck-backaw! *Stars to cry from being more scared of his rolling tumble than from actually being hurt*

(picks him up and hugs him to my belly) awwwww... there there, its ok (smiles at him)

*He sobs a little more before opening his eyes and making eye contact with you. He then sniffles a bit before smiling again and flapping his arms* Buck-buck-ca-cluck! (I'm flying!)

hee hee (lifts Osey as high as I could and gently jogs around) weeeee~ ^w^

*With wide eyes, Osey clucks and bucks while waving his little wings so fast that small feathers just keep flying off of him like snow. He's really getting into being so high and so fast and just keeps getting louder-and-louder with his bucks and clucks for how overjoyed he his to be going so fast and having such fun up all high*

(smiles) if your having fun now, you should wait until we get inside, I have a bunch of tasty treats =D

*Osey continues to loudly cluck and buck as he feels himself getting a tad hungry upon hearing the word "treats"*

(runs to the front door of my house and stops)

*Osey climbs down and tries to reach for the knob of your door. He then looks to you with curious eyes* Ba-Buck?

(opens the door and heads inside, being careful with Osey around my neck)

*Osey's eyes look all about. He takes in the house he has never seen before as he clucks gently and, at times, attempts to reach out for things he feels he should get his wings on*

(smiles and sets Osey down on my bed) now you stay here and I'll get you some treats ok? =)

Buck-buck *He watches you leave and then decides it's more fun to follow you and peck at the floor then to sit in a room by himself. You hear him lightly clucking and pecking behind you as you move along*

hee hee, oh ok...so what would you like to eat? =)

Ba-cluck? *Looks at you with wide eyes and blinks as a puzzled look comes over his face. He is used to hearing "corn" or "rice" along with what to eat and is not seeing any of either*

hmmm...I better call your dad and find out (gets my cellphone out and calls you)

*Phone rings twice before Mrs. O'Ducky answers*

Hello!

*You explain Osey's behavior*

He really likes corn and rice. Though, we haven't had a chance to try any sweets and I don't see offering him any fudge would be bad. Just give us a call if he gives you any trouble.

*You finish the conversation as Osey dances around you clucking and doing little flutters*

(clicks and phone) ok, then (gets out a bag of rice and pours some in a bowl and puts it on the table) ok first things first, time for dindin =) (picks up Osey and sets him on the table next to the bowl of rice) dig in =)

*No sooner do you put him by the bowl does Osey begin to go on a complete, feeding frenzy. So much, in fact, it takes mere seconds before the bowl is flying off towards the edge of the table as he madly pecks at the rice while scampering about to gobble up ever last morsel. He clucks silently, yet steadily, with each peck and gobble as you watch rice go everywhere as Osey goes everywhere after it*

eep (uses my magic to hold the bowl in place and put all the rice back in the bowl) there, that should help a bit =)

*The feeding frenzy continues as Osey pecks and clucks at the bowl that is no longer in so much motion. Within a matter of seconds, the bowl is empty, he falls on his bottom, looks up at you, points to the bowl, and gives wide eyes* Ba-buck?

(fills the bowl with corn this time) ^w^

*Eyes shine as he gives you some thankful 'buck-bucks' and then he goes about having another feeding frenzy. You can't believe how fast he can peck at the bowl and, within moments, it's completely empty. He then plops himself down, looks at you, and burps while rubbing his bulgy tummy*

(fills the bowl with one half rice the other half corn) one last bowl ok? =)

*Osey clucks out a burp before taking to his feet, looking at the food, and then diving right into it as if he hadn't eaten in years*

(smiles and watches)

*Upon finishing every last bite, Osey begins to wobble about before falling on his bottom. His belly gurgles as he moans from knowing there's just a little too much in there. He rolls towards you with a pitiful look* Buck... buck...

hee hee, lets get you in bed and watch some cartoons =) (Takes osey to my bed and set him on a soft pillow so he can get comfy as I turn to some cartoons for Osey's age and gives his small belly some rubs)

Buh-clu-uck... *Osey seems all uncomfortable until, suddenly, he let's out a really big BURP!. He then seems to smile as his body begins to feel less full and your tummy rubs keep him belching up all that extra gas he got from eating his food so fast. He is a happy Osey in a matter of minutes and now facing you* Ba-cluck-cluck-Buck!

hee hee, would you like somemore rice and corn? =)

He is! :) Needless to say they get into all sorts of fun, geeky adventures together. They even wind up watching the reboot of Pony Magic in which is amazingly good and full of laughs. :)

I'll eventually write stories with Osey in them. However, those are adult Yosh tales and a majority of Yosh's life captured here is him as a little one. Though, I don't believe Osey will hear of any tales of "How Yosh Met His Mother". ;)

In which case Yosh will deny A LOT of stuff and/or attempt to focus only on those happy, fun memories of when he met his mom.

Though, for some reason, I think Nishi would show up and find a clever way, with his photo album, to show the sort of things his daddy was into and doing as a kid. That would certainly make for some hardcore explaining. He might even have an accident just thinking of how to explain it. <LoL!>

*Giggles* And that's why we love him. :)

YOSH: Anytim---

TINA BEAR: *Squeezing her husband's beak* Before dark. *Quickly dashes into the house and bring out a coat* And here's a coat if he gets cold.

Oh, kazootles! Sorry for the oopsie-doopsie response. *blushes* Though, as you'll see above, Flamey is a fun RP'er. Great caretaker type to. :)

*He giggles as he feels himself push into your tummy. He then clucks happily as he feels like he is on a bouncy toy as he drums at your sides with his soft feathers*

*You feel his chicken feet begin to now try and scamper up to your shoulders*

OSEY: Buck-buck ba-buck! (Up, up, up, please!)

*Big blush* I don't know what the whoopsie-doopsie is. However, this thing can't seem to get you and Flamey right. :( I swear it's not user error, but apologize for all the flubs.

Thanks, Lain. Nishi really did an epic job of capturing who who is to be the child of Yosh and Tina O'Ducky. :)

The Os!

<LoL!> Yep, yep! He is, The Ose! :)

Haha, woops! I think I'm confused now! I thought hens were female and roosters were male, and they were both chickens - unless maybe it wasn't serious, now I'm not sure!

I was pretty surprised seeing one various definition for chicken when looking that up though. I'm glad everyone seems to have taken a liking to your pickle chicken!

On an overall basis, I think a chicken is a chicken. Whether it be a male or a female. The same confusion comes with cows as a cow is female and a bull is a male. So, you need a bull to make out with a cow to make more, uh, cows?

*Shrugs* That's why I like ducks, hamsters, etc. You don't run into weird situations like this. I mean, I was so confused the day I learned a male cow was a bull after years of thinking cows were cows.

Thanks kindly for having done such a buck-bucking great job on portraying my, little pickle-chicken. If I didn't tell you, the day you shared the piccie, I printed it out and put it behind his booster seat in the car. Needless to say much fun ensued when he say it back there and read, "Buck buck" and I followed that up with, "That's you!" :)
