Chocobo Timez

[booyaka_boom]

who: Selphie and All
when: any time whenever
where: chocobo barn!
style: any kind
status: open

Selphie had first to drag the birds all the way up to the island for rescue, and then she had to drag them all back down again. They didn't seem to appreciate all the pushing and pulling, but they did seem happier to be back in the place that they recognised. Some of the birds were running happily up and down the field, while others were taking a nap beside the barn. Selphie, meantime, was decked out in her chocobo farm gear - tshirt and shorts, but complete with cowboy boots and hat. Feeding time, and she was dragging a heavy sack of feed from the barn out into the field, slowly, slowly, pulling it along with all of her weight, hat tipping off her head. Some of the birds turned and chirped - at least someone was amused.

[An studies them for a moment.]

Yes, they look like a mixture of... chickens and ostriches... Or maybe an ostric and a tropical bird? But I had never seen any bird like them.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie tilts her head as she looks the birds over and nods in slow agreement*

Yeah, that's what people who've never seen chocobos before usually say... Do you like them, though? They're real friendly. Well, most of them.

[ladyinscarlet]

[An takes another look at the birds and nods.]

Yes, they do look friendly enough. May I touch them?

[booyaka_boom]

Of course! They all love the attention, really.

*Selphie smiles, motioning for two chocobos in particular to come forward. She knew they'd be nothing but sweet, and chirp in their appreciation of being given affection*

[ladyinscarlet]

[An carefully moves closer to the birds and gently pets one of them first, and then the other.]

They're so soft...

[booyaka_boom]

Mmhmm. They take a little bit of grooming some times of year, but mostly they look after themselves.

*Selphie smiles, watching as the birds nuzzle closer to An for more petting*

[ladyinscarlet]

They are quite nice... Though I regret to say I do not have enough place at my home in this world to keep one.

[booyaka_boom]

Mmm - but if there's one that you really like, you'd be more than welcome to come along and visit them any time you like, and groom them and take it for a ride and all that. I've named a few of them, but it's not like they're all really mine...

[ladyinscarlet]

I would not mind visit them, when I have some free time from the clinic yes. Is it hard to ride one?

[booyaka_boom]

Great! Well, they'll all just be standing around here, pretty much.

*Selphie shakes her head, patting the side of one of the birds*

Nah, it's pretty easy. Can you ride a horse?

[ladyinscarlet]

[Angelina nods.]

Yes, I learned how to ride when I was young.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie grins and claps her hands*

Then it'll be a breeze for ya!

[ladyinscarlet]

Wonderful! I am certainly eager to try!
