004 // Video - Action // In which Sora makes a friend

[lockandkeyblade]

[Hey there, Vatheon! Time for a homely little broadcast of a cozy looking ...  stable? Since when did Vatheon have horses? Must be new. The screen pans slowly, revealing a vast open field, bordered by a rickety white fence. Sora's voice speaks off screen:]

Hey guys- check out what showed up at Nostalgia Nook!

[And then woa! Fluffy yellow feathers invade the screen. The SFC shakes as the person holding it begins to laugh. Sora swivels the SFC on himself. His hood is caught in the beak of a rather large bird. Behind him are several more, nearly twice Sora's height and scattered throughout the field.]

They're called Chocobos. Some are pretty friendly. The guy at the stable? He says I can have one if I take good care of it! [Another Chocobo head bobs into the screen, nibbling at the end of a spike of Sora's hair. He doesn't seem to mind.] You can even ride them, but you gotta train em' first.

Oh. And when you sing, sometimes they'll dance. Watch!

[The screen swivels around, squaring on an unassuming Chocobo several yards ahead. Sora clears his throat, and begins to whistle a tune. The bird in question quirks its head at the SFC and surprise, surprise, it actually begins to dance! It bobs, sways, rolls its head, warking rather excitedly, drawing attention of other ones nearby who more or less begin to do the same.]

[Just when things start getting interesting, that's when it all stops: there's a loud, irritated wark right behind the SFC. Sora has halted his musical performance and the screen has wandered away from the dancing chocobo as if Sora has become distracted offscreen. Could be trouble...]

Uhh.... hey there... You want some greens, is that it?

I'm sure I've got some around here. Hang on a sec....H-hey!

Wait, what're you - Oh no!!

[The screen finally jerks around, catching a flash Sora being tugged backwards, his hood caught in the beak of a rather irate looking bird. The broadcast stops.]

[Sora sees what you're doing, Roxas.] Nice one! [Better it eat the greens than his jacket.]

[Unbeknown to the pair, a strange silence has fallen over the field. First, there's one curious whistle. Then another. Then several more. There's soft shuffling noises as one or two shuffle over, followed by others, all of them increasing their pace until finally, Sora looks up and sees the terrible fate about to befall them.]

Uh... Roxas... M-maybe we should try something else...

This is why you don't bring bread into the park, kids. orz

But isn't the Chocobo h-- [he looks up.] ...ungry.

[And such a terrible fate indeed, for the two witnessed an army of fowl surrounding them in a blockade with no where to run. Eep. He'd thought the Chocobos only ate vegetables, so what was their problem? Roxas then stared down at his pile, realizing too late his fatal mistake. He grabbed for one of the Gysahl Greens in an attempt to throw one out in the open to divert their attention.

A loud screechy wark. He took his hand off. Silence. He grabbed for it again. A chorus of angry squawks.]

[...Well, fudge.]

but i like feeding them?

[It's a near massacre with bits of greens and feathers flying every which way. And of course, Sora and Roxas caught in the middle of it. Half of them have their wings extended, flapping wildly as they scramble for the food. Sora's half ducking, trying to cover his head in this mess. Every now and then there's a cry of dismay when a Chocobo snaps too close or nearly steps on him.]
