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.]

[Cloud was sort of sleeping but jumps with Misao's greeting, and the tiny black cat perched on top of a chocobo cracks open an eye to stare at her]

...Misao? Hi.

They're so cool! Can I pet it?

Anita calls them giant chickens...

[He closes the laptop and stuffs it away and finally notices the cat sitting on the chocobo and shakes his head, smiling a little.]

Sure, you can pet her. Don't pull on the feathers and be careful about the eyes.

They kinda look like them!

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.

But I didn't get food for Nix!

[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.

Okay. Hehe.

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

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

Okay... what should I try first?

| action! |

[identity profile] itachi-kunoichi.livejournal.com 2009-06-01 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Get the sushi!



Then listen to your stomach!

| action! |

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-06-01 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Okay...

[He eyed them for a moment and picked one up, taking a small nibble before shrugging and downing it in one swallow.]

Huh. Interesting...

| action! |

[identity profile] itachi-kunoichi.livejournal.com 2009-06-01 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Ya like it?



You can also eat it with this! If you want it spicy, add that too.

| action! |

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-06-01 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Mm

[He tries the next roll with the spices, making a face at the strong flavor.]

I think... plain is better.

Yeah, wasabi kinda hurts the nose when you're not used to it.



Tea?

It doesn't help that I can taste better than a normal person.

[He looked at the cups and nods, finishing with his food and looking at the rest of the box.]

Sure.

| action! |

[identity profile] itachi-kunoichi.livejournal.com 2009-06-02 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
You can?



Then you can tell that my food's excellent!



Help yourself!

See better, hear better, taste better... It's all part of a SOLDIER.

[He was surprised as she showed off more food, and picks a piece of shrimp from the box and feeds it to Minuit.]

It is good. Thanks, Misao.

| action! |

[identity profile] itachi-kunoichi.livejournal.com 2009-06-02 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhh. Well, I guess you're right.



Great!

| action! |

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-06-02 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[The OMG big birds were ignored now that she has OMG fishies to eat! Minuit pounces the food and mrrws as she eats. Cloud laughs softly and picks up a shrimp for himself.]

You really didn't have to go through so much trouble for me, you know.

| action! |

[identity profile] itachi-kunoichi.livejournal.com 2009-06-02 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
You're silly.



It's not trouble at all, and you're a friend!

| action! |

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-06-02 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I can be.

[Smiling a little, Cloud takes a sip of tea, feeding Minuit another piece of food.]

Still... thanks.

You're welcome!
