134... chocobo open house

[ video action if you come visiting]

[There is a unfocused view of bleachers set up in a semi-circle around a large circular dirt road. The road has a rough wooden fence around the outside ring and only a couple sawhorses lining the inside ring. Running around the track are three chocobos, their crests puffed up and their gait the relaxed trot of creatures that are just warming up. three other chocobos were standing outside the track, one getting groomed while the other two waited while trying to snatch at the currying tools of the groomer. The three largest birds were sitting in the central ring. Leaning back against one is Cloud, a small laptop open and resting on his crossed legs. Every once and a while, the chocobo he was using for a back rest would turn and run her beak through his hair.]


[ooc; This can be an open action post for anyone wanting to visit the chocobos, or come looking for a job. The track is in the Underground and there is a secure entrance from the city to the Underground that is monster-free so anyone can get there. It will cost three Reds to visit the chocobos for those over the age of fourteen. Ages six to fourteen are free but they must have an adult with them because chocobos can be dangerous.]

Chocobos aren't all that easily spooked by demons. They've got that nasty meteor spell.

I suppose they do - barely.

[the hen he was leaning against warbled at him calling them anything close to a chicken and he reached over and scratched her crest to quiet her.]

You're petting Nix, Misao.

I'm more worried about destroying the track than the damage chocobos would do to the people here.

Maybe... tomorrow?

[Cloud laughs, and gets a soft whack on the head with a wing. The chocobo Misao is petting warks and shifts at the loud noise before settling down again.]

Not so loud, Misao.

[He blinks at the odd food, and looks up at her.]

Thanks and you don't have to worry about them - they have their food waiting for them when it's time to eat.

I should be home tonight. It seems I have a stowaway.

[And yes, that is Minuit, chewing and tugging on a bootlace before noticing the OMG big birds and trying to figure out if she should pounce them or hide.]

How... [Blinking.] Well, that explains why it was quiet in the apartment today.

Okay. Hehe.

Yeah! That's tempura and rice and noodles, with some sushi too!

What the hell is all that noise?

I'm... not sure really.

[Minuit decided that the OMG big birds were pounceable only to get a light whack from a wing that kept her from actually pouncing. But the cat was still determined to find out more about the birds, and is circling them.]

Yeah, Levi is a lot calmer withoout Minuit to lead her.

[Cloud watches but the chocobo seems okay with Misao now that she wasn't being so loud.]

Okay... what should I try first?

I'll have to come see it in a few days.

I think you may enjoy it. Minuit is having fun even.

Is she chasing the big chickens?

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-06-01 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
WARK!

More like they're chasing her.

Sort of.

[identity profile] browning-baby.livejournal.com 2009-06-01 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
... they won't eat her, will they?

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-06-01 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Chocobos? No, they don't eat cats, although they may start babying her soon.

[identity profile] browning-baby.livejournal.com 2009-06-01 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
She'll love that.

Mm. I'll take pictures.

I'm guessing someone was a bit distracted when he left this morning... though she does seem to be having fun.

I guess I was. She is such a sneak. [And now the OMG big birds were chasing the cat who decided that cloud was safe to hide behind.]

Um... you might want to watch Minuit.

[He blinks and then reaches over to grab the little cat and held her up for inspection from the chocobo.]

Yeah, she is getting into trouble already.
