Chaos sent me $$ for a chocobo hawkstrider and a Siamese cat for my level 30. Purple was the most FABULOUS color (though after seeing screenshots of the red one, it looks quite fabulous too), but I saw the fucking lv 60 pink chocobo at the NPC. Totally going to buy that once I hit 60. (Which will be like next year at this rate.) My dumb purple hawkstrider is failing me. I made it to the zeppelin right as it was taking off. Some helpful movement boost you are, fucking bird.
I also discovered the existence of the Wind Serpent pet because it breathes lightning. What the fuck have I been doing with pets like a cat and a raptor this whole time? D: Breathing lightning is a way more awesome sounding skill than shit like Savage Rend and Rake. I went and tamed this one because the wings looked pink-purple color~ …and while I was in the area I tried riding on top of the elevator down from Freewind Post. >_>
Oh, and aers told me about the Proudmoore server having a large concentration of fags. Totally want to transfer now.

I’m surprised you haven’t tamed a Dragonhawk, they’re probably the most fabulous pets ever. Flaming pink birds that breath fire seem right up Schneizel’s fabulous alley~
