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.]

[Action] And I just realized these two are only two years apart!
Date: 2011-01-29 07:00 pm (UTC)I'm sorry for making you wait!
[Still feeling a little embarrassed at her late arrival, she holds out the small bag of items she collected]
I... I didn't know if you'd be hungry. So I brought a snack. These are for you.
[Action] what, really? D8 woa.
Date: 2011-01-29 09:10 pm (UTC)Don't sweat it. I wasn't waiting long.
For me? Thanks! [He accepts it with a grateful smile.] Sorry I didn't bring you anything.
[Action] Yep! Yuna's only 17 here ^^
Date: 2011-01-29 11:46 pm (UTC)It's okay! I know that being with chocobos can be a real work-out. [Poor, poor Clasko. She suppresses a giggle. But the idea of seeing the familiar yellow birds excites her once more.]
Shall we go, Sora?
[Action]
Date: 2011-01-30 01:08 am (UTC)[He opens the bag and looks inside for a moment, and his expression perks up. He is a little hungry, actually! Little or big, you're always helping him out, Yuna.]
Right. Follow me.
[And he takes her through the plaza and down to Nostalgia Nook. They make their way around the shop, to the small curving path leading down to the Ranch. Yuna cam probably see the Chocobos from there, roaming freely around the corral.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-01-30 01:53 am (UTC)[Oh, there's a twinkle in her eye at the sight of them. She's not running... yet. But there's a definite skip in her step and a lightness in her heart as she approaches the edge of the corral. After a moment's hesitation, she brings her fingers to her lips and lightly whistles. The effect is a good one. One of the nearby chocobos tweets back happily and does a cheerful hop-step before trotting over to the railing. Tenderly, Yuna scratches the feathers around its neck.]
Hello, you.
[She looks to Sora, an innocent grin on her face not unlike a normal teenager (one that doesn't have the weight of the world on her shoulders).]
Can we go inside?
[Action]
Date: 2011-01-30 03:45 am (UTC)[Yuna's good at this...]
Yeah sure. Keeper let me in earlier. I usually just hop over the fence, but there's a gate we can just walk through a little further down.
[Action]
Date: 2011-01-30 04:23 am (UTC)[...sort of. The long skirt might be a bit of a problem though. But a determined Yuna is a force to be reckoned with. This fence will be hopped!
She steps on the bottom rung of the corral and sits on the railing, suddenly realizing that it might be a little difficult to do this gracefully by herself.]
Um... If you could help me over?
[Action]
Date: 2011-01-30 10:45 pm (UTC)There we go.
[Action]
Date: 2011-01-31 06:51 pm (UTC)Once over, Yuna starts to pet the chocobo again affectionately until it happily kwehs. But oh, what's this? Is that a chocobo feather in Yuna's hand?
She thinks for a second before offering it to Sora.]
Here you go. For helping me over the fence. Just... be careful how you use it, okay?
Re: [Action]
Date: 2011-01-31 10:06 pm (UTC)[He hops over. And when Yuna hands him the feather, he tilts his head questioningly as he takes it.]
Hm? What's this?
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-01 12:20 am (UTC)It's a Chocobo feather. They're very special, but tricky. And kind of rare, too.
Sometimes, when a Chocobo is nearby, it'll return to it's feather and offer the person who found it a free ride or show him or her something special.
And sometimes... it can be a good luck charm when you're in trouble. Some say it even makes you faster. But only for a little while. And only once.
So be careful, okay?
[Action] lksjflkjsd YOU ARE BEST, YUNIE
Date: 2011-02-04 04:46 am (UTC)[Action] D'awwww~ /ruffles Sora's hair. <3
Date: 2011-02-04 08:19 am (UTC)I have them where I come from. And when I return home, I'm sure I'll encounter them again. Besides, Rikku has a way of finding them really easily. She's always really lucky when it comes to items like that.
So, you should keep it.
[Action] *u* ~ <3
Date: 2011-02-04 08:05 pm (UTC)[He stuffs the feather in his pack for safekeeping.]
[The conversation seems to have attracted another Chocobo. It wanders up beside the first, peering down at Yuna in curiosity.]
