vatheon | The Great Chocobo Flash Mob

Who: Selphie, and a whole load of chocobos!
When: Early Afternoon
Where: The plaza
Style: Any you like! ^^
Status: OPEN!

Selphie was taking the chocobos out for a walk. Sure, they had a whole field of their own, but sometimes she liked to take them around the town, let them see the sights, and treat them to a soda. Usually, though, Selphie would be leading round six or eight chocobos, each keeping in line in pairs. The birds are pretty big, but that wasn't so impossible. Today, though, Selphie had at least twenty large yellow birds with her, marching along towards the plaza.

Since she was out of a job (no longer to be found at the flower shop), Selphie had a lot of time on her hands, and that meant upping her game when it came to dancing with the chocobos. Selphie sat at a bench, held up her fingers and counted down from three to one. When she pointed at them, they began to twirl, and flap, and stomp in sync, perfectly in time to some cheerful pop music that Selphie played from a small music player and speakers she had brought.

So Vatheon, if you are out and about on this lucky day, you will see the most dazzling display of chocobo dancing you have ever seen in your life! Twenty chocobos dancing for the residents of Vatheon! Or twenty chocobos blocking your way from getting where you want to go.

Roxas was out with a similar mission, leading his own much smaller gaggle of three chocobos still not much bigger than chickens. As they reached the plaza, he stopped to stare at the sight of all those birds. They could dance?

The young chocobos at his feet warked in excitement, flapping their wings. The red one even started trying to imitate the dancing, with adorable if not very graceful results.

She can't help it... those teeny tiny brand new chocobos are just too adorable. Selphie squeals with the delight of the sight of them, and rushes over to lean down, taking a better look, "Aren't you guys just so super cute?!"

They're not as cute as when they were little fluffballs that fit in the palm of your hand, but they are still pretty adorable. They puff up at the attention, cheeping happily and angling closer in hopes of pettings.

"No need to feed their egos too much."

As far as Selphie's concerned, they're super ultra cute. She reaches out to pet each of them in turn, eventually scooping one up to kiss beside its beak.

"Are you kidding? They're so adorable that their egos are just dying to be fed! Isn't that right, you little cuteykins?"

"They're getting pretty spoiled already..."

But clearly neither Selphie nor the birds are going to listen to him. They haven't really been gushed over like this before, and it seems to make them pretty happy.

"But they're so adorable that they deserve to be spoiled! Don't ya think?" Selphie grinned up Roxas before spending a very more moments cuddling the chocobos, giving them each little kisses. Eventually, she stood up, dushing down her knees. "Are they coming to dance too?"

It was difficult to argue with. It wasn't like he disliked spoiling them.

"I just- thought they'd like to get out of the apartment for a while. Seems like they wanna learn though."

"That's a great idea! You know, you can bring them along to the barn and the field any time you like. These guys didn't have so many babies this year, so I'd bet they'd love to see them."

The chocobos continued to flap and dance, the pop song picking up tempo. "They should join in!"

Not so many babies this year? Roxas looked back at the gathering of adult chocobos, wondering. "Are you sure there weren't any ones they lost?"

Oblivious to his concerns, the three smaller chocobos seemed to take the faster tempo as an invitation to scuttle over to the other birds. Warking inquisitively and excitedly, the red and yellow ones started trying the moves themselves. The blue one meanwhile just watched as though planning to learn the whole thing that way and then show them up.

"Lost? I don't get it. How could they just lose their babies?" Selphie raised a brow, looking from the dancing chocobos and back to the smaller ones.

A couple of the adult chocobos closest to the coloured ones warbled their appreciated greetings, one reaching down to nudge the blue one lightly.

"Well, we found them when the bubble flooded. I guess they got separated."

Chocobos don't just spring up out of the ground. Maybe some of these chocobos are their actual parents... Not that they'd probably recognize them at this point.

Isa fluffed up his wings at the nudge, but stubbornly refused to dance for the moment.

Selphie shook her head adamantly. There's no way that's the case, and she's quite hurt that he would suggest that she would let some chocobos slip. But how would he know? So she just pursed her lips and kept shaking her head, "Nu uh. No way. I keep track of all the babies. Besides, these guys are different colours - they musta belonged to someone else."

No, Roxas had no idea. All these birds couldn't belong to her, right? He blinked a little at her reaction, but conceded easily. "Oh. Then maybe they were wild ones."

Selphie shakes her head at that too, grinning a little, "Nope. Definitely not wild ones." She personally saw to it that there were no such thing in the bubble or on the island. "But the important thing is that someone is taking good care of them now, right?"

"Ah..." Now he's sort of confused, but oh well. In the end it doesn't matter where the birds' chocobo parents are because they believe he and Axel are their parents now. "Yeah. We are taking good care of them."
