Thirty-Fourth Flare - Video - Birds, Birds, Everywhere

[prominence_glow]

So yeah, turns out Myde was pregnant.

[Way to open up a feed, Lea. But he's grinning into the camera, hair tied back and in a too large t-shirt and pants. He's also covered in soft downy feathers of all sorts of colors; it isn't easy calming down the flock when they're so excitable. As he adjusts the camera, it's obvious he's near some rather simple looking stables. Anyone who's worked or visited the Phoenix Nest would recognize them as being behind there.]

[When he's done fiddling with the view, the camera is focused on a group of Chocobos. There's Myde, one of the adults and a beautiful soft brown with specks of white on her chest, looking tired but calmly pleased. Hovering near her is Alex, a bright red who couldn't look more proud as he nuzzles Myde.]

[And around them?]

Yep, looks like the second generation of Vatheon-born Chocochicks are here! Heh, aren't they adorable? And new colors, too, look!

[Lea looks just as proud as Alex as he sits down amongst the chirping, energetic chicks. There are seven in all, and they happily flop and flutter onto the teen. There are a few very pale gray chicks, and another couple which are a much darker shade, a strange kind of lavender-gray. There are a pair of soft colored yellows and one lone red. Lea handles all of them carefully and with utter adoration.]

I'll cut everyone the same deal Stein did whenever his chocobos laid eggs. If you think you can give one of these sweethearts a good home, and you can tell me so, I'll let you keep one. Myde and Alex won't mind.

Mistreat them and I will wreck your life.

[He says it with a cheery grin that is 100% brutal honesty.]


((ooc: Yep! Lea is giving away chocobo chicks. Just have your character comment and Lea will talk it out. I'll keep track of who has which chick here in the ooc.

2 yellow: Demyx, Squall Leonhart
3 white : Motochika, Aradia Megido
2 black : Jacob
1 red : Dave Strider))

[Motochika regards the video feed with calm confidence.]

I can provide one with a good home.

[prominence_glow]

Yeah?

[Some of the chicks squirm and wiggle about towards the camera in curiosity towards the voice, and Lea lazily ushers them away from the SFC.]

Are you used to taking care of animals then?

[behisstrength]

Yes. Horses in the past, from foal to adulthood.

[Like any self-respecting samurai.]

A chick would not be without company in my home. A member of my household raised a blue-feathered chocobo in the past year.

[ninthserenade]

I was pregna--

<sub>[Oh.

Oh.

Oh! Wait. Yeah. There was a Chocobo named after his Other, whoopsies.]</sub>

W-Wait, she had babies? Which one is the dad?

[prominence_glow]

[He may or may not have phrased it like he did purely to screw with your head, Demyx. Maybe.]

I don't know, Dem, you tell me.

[Surely not the happy red chocobo cuddling up to her in the back.]

[0_0]

[She's ooooggling them right now...

They look so cute, aaaa...............]

[prominence_glow]

[Chirp chirp chirp, Aradia! Chirp chirp chirp! All these fluffy little chicks, fluttering around and cuddling each other and being cute.]

[Be hypnotized by the adorable, Aradia. Go.]

[singularjustice]

...they are so beautiful.

[ N is absolutely enamored with them, one can tell just from his face on the screen. ]

[prominence_glow]

[Oh, N. He knew you'd be happy to see them.]

Wanna come and visit? I bet everyone would be glad to see you.

[stayb100ponyboy]

[No, Equius. No. You already have two chocobos, and that is enough. You do not need more.]

They're beautiful, Lea.

[prominence_glow]

I know, right?

[Hugging all the birds forever.]

And black and white! I didn't have those yet! Oh man, I wonder if this means a gold chocobo will pop out of an egg at some point...

Video

[brbstealingpknm]

...Cute.

[Don't mind him, just staring at the blackish looking ones.No, Silver, you can't have one even if you are making progress with your pokemon.] Can they all spit fire balls?

Video

[prominence_glow]

I haven't a freakin' clue, man. Then again, the only one who tends to get pissed off enough is Radi, sooooooo....

But anyway, that's not what white and black are good at.

[Video]

[knightime]

[This is a really stupid idea. Like, what is he even thinking...]

Does the red one have a home yet? [He covers his nose with a tissue as he sneezes.] How do you take care of them and what do they eat? [Pauses.] From a scale from one being easy as pie to ten, meaning what the fuck did I get myself into, how hard are they to take care of?

Because I am not going to fuck up if it's the last thing I do.

[Totally giggling over here. Her expression says "TOTALLY CAUGHT YOUR ATTENTION TOO, HUH TIMEBRO?"]

[Video]

[prominence_glow]

...That was the most precious thing I think I've ever had someone say to me.

I'm almost tempted to tell my boyfriend he is officially broken up with because look at you, sneezing and being tough about a fluffy baby bird. But alas, you are so illegal I can already feel the stripes on my clothes, so whatever.

[Lea is a bit of an ass, whoops, news at 11. Anyway! Snatching up the bitty red chocobo in his hands and holding the little thing out to the camera, which is promptly pecked at.]

To answer your first question, no, he doesn't! Second, you let them run around, get plenty of exercise, and feed 'em greens when they get older, although right now I'd recommend this formula I have on hand. And as for difficulty, it depends on the personality!

...Basically like a mix between a dog and a horse.

[Video] chocobo-dad jack!

[stayb100ponyboy]

They're really nice pets, Dave. You should get one.

[Equius is looking surprisingly happy as he shares this information.]

I have two.

[video]

[unshelledbullet]

[Oh wow. Chicobos. It's been a while since Squall has seen those. Reminds him of home.]

Nice Chicobos.

[video]

[prominence_glow]

...You know, that almost sounds like a pick-up line.

[Sorry, Squall, he actually acts his age. Just going to snicker a moment before grinning.]

But thanks! They hatched this morning and they're all healthy!

[Video]

[upfromthegutter]

.....The frag are those?

[Video]

[prominence_glow]

The frag are you?

[It's said more friendly than in shock, however. Lea's just playing.]

They're called chocobos, my good walking toaster. They're a kind of bird from my homeworld.

[ video ]

[by_my_will]

Are you and Selphie breeding them?

[ video ]

[prominence_glow]

Kinda! This is my first personal clutch- that's the word, right?

Usually it was Stein who was actively breedin' 'em and stuff. I didn't even know my pretty girl was egg-ready until someone I talked to told me something might be up! I just let what happens happen.

[nos_servabit]

[Jacob smiles warmly at the sight of the chicks. Oh, new life. How wonderful it is.]

...If you don't mind me asking, Lea, do any of the black ones have a home yet?

[prominence_glow]

As a matter of fact, no, they don't, my good man.

[Griiiiiin.]
