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))

...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.

[singularjustice]

I'd love to!

[ Though he quickly adds: ]

I won't bother Myde and the chicks, would I?

[prominence_glow]

Hey, they're fine with me around, so I bet they'd deal with you great!

Come whenever you want to.

[singularjustice]

I'll be over there soon!!

[ He is too excited not to be. The feed cuts off and all too soon he is at the door to the stables, calling Lea's name. ]

[prominence_glow]

Back here!

[Lea is still happily nestled with the pleased parents and all the small chicks. There are a few bottles around, and he's feeding the red with a type of formula. He beams when he sees N.]

Heya!

[singularjustice]

Hello!

[ N stops a little way away and promptly beams. ]

You are all so gorgeous! Myde, Alex, do you mind if I come see the little ones?

[prominence_glow]

[Lea is perfectly aware that he is now totally unimportant to this picture and is happy to just sit here and be a playground for chocobos. Yep. Alex gives a proud wark of approval, but Myde just casually fwaps her wing at him.]

Radi approves of you. So does Lea. Our little ones will be safe.

[singularjustice]

[ Yep. Sorry, when it comes to fluffy babies versus a person, the fluffy babies win every time.

N does not forget him for too long, however, as he comes to sit beside him, willing to allow the babies to come to him if they like. ]

How long have they been hatched? They come from eggs, right? Or are they live births? It seems a lot of animals from other worlds do that --

[ N babbles happily at Lea, even as he watches the chicks. ]

[prominence_glow]

[The chicks don't need much of a reason to migrate from one playground to another. There are plenty of delighted chirps as some flap their way up onto N's lap. One of the black ones seems to find the idea of his hair utterly fascinating.]

Hatched this morning, and they've just been gettin' lively after they recovered a bit. Chocobos, they do eggs, like most birds I know do, but they're not like Pokemon where you have to walk 'em around a bunch. Myde just nested for a long while and kept 'em all nice and warm until they were ready to come out.

[singularjustice]

Oh, I see! Such a strange way of hatching! I am glad they all look so healthy, though! So many of them...

[ He grins brightly at those that have joined him, not minding the tugs on his hair at all. He is quite used to it being tugged, chewed on, and played with. ]

Hello, my little friends! How are you? My name is N.

[prominence_glow]

[There's a symphony of different chirps, all with different things to say. It's so bright! So warm! Green green green! Where are you from? Away from the nest, away from the nest! All rather simplistic, still learning, still amazed at everything in the world right now.]

[singularjustice]

I'm from a place called Unova, far away! But my home is here now.

[ N chatted cheerfully in return, not minding the simplistic topics of conversation. Using a bit of his ponytail, he teased the black one with it like a game. ]

[prominence_glow]

[Way to blow that black bird's mind, N. After flapping away in utter shock, the chick comes running back adoringly. That ponytail is now also getting more attention from other chicks. Whoops. New game!]

[Lea just chuckles a bit.]

I think they like you.

[singularjustice]

[ N laughs at the excited reactions. ]

I am glad, for I like them as well!

[ He teased them with his hair, not minding if it hurt on occasion. It was well worth it to see and hear the excitement of the young birds. ]

[prominence_glow]

[Fun for the whole family! Alex looks like he wants to go and play too, doofus that he is, as the chicks chirp and flutter about. Lea chuckles some more as he gets to his feet.]

Sounds like you're going to be here for a while! You want some cookies or something while you wait? And I can get you some of the formula for the chicks, too.

[singularjustice]

I'd like that a lot! Thank you!

[ N grinned brightly at Lea, completely tickled. This was the most fun he had had in a while. ]

[prominence_glow]

[N's idea of fun is Chocobo chicks getting enraptured with his hair. Duly noted! Shaking his head and grinning, Lea disappears from the stable and returns a minute or two later with some treats and a small bag filled with specially made baby bottles for the chicks.]

[singularjustice]

[ He was a simple creature, really. N has ended up flopped on his back, laughing as the chicks use him as a playground. ]

[prominence_glow]

[It is highly likely that now N will never leave. Lea's okay with that. Leaning down, he presses the bottom of one bottle to N's forehead.]

Jeez, maybe I should just lock you in the stables with a bunch of chicks when it's your birthday next.

[singularjustice]

I don't think I could complain! But why on my birthday?

[ He smiles and reaches out to take the bottle, before struggling to sit up. ]

[prominence_glow]

Your birthday present, of course.

[The chicks seem determined to make this as difficult as possible.]

[singularjustice]

Is it normal to give presents on birthdays?

[ He asks it curiously, though then he is busy trying to convince the chicks to please let him sit up, he isn't leaving them. ]

[prominence_glow]

Yeah. Cake 'n' ice cream, presents for the birthday kid, party hats, the whole shebang.

[Finally taking pity on the poor trapped trainer, Lea reaches down to help pry the excitable little chicks off of him. That at least helps a little.]

[singularjustice]

Huh! Do they do that in all worls? I'll have to remember it...

[ N finally manages to get sat up. ]
