[video] [Both Courts] Everybody loves eggs right?

[Lumina is skipping along ahead of the image feed when it clicks on, so one of her imps is probably filming her again. People familiar with the area might recognizing the rolling hills outside of Mair, but now nestled between a number of them is what looks like a large, sprawling ranch. Lumina comes to a stop beneath a hand-painted sign that says 'Gran Pulse Chocobo Ranch', with a painting of a bright yellow chocobo standing in front of a giant green and blue planet, with a smaller gray planet hanging in the background.]

[She twists around once she's under the sign and grins at the locket. Chaos the black chocobo is standing just inside the gate, sans his usual armor and saddle, and he peers at his mistress and the imp with a 'why me' kind of expression, then warks quietly.]


Look, they gave me a whole ranch! I had to make the sign myself though. [Lumina can find fault in anything.]

But it's a chocobo ranch! I mean, it will be. Once I have more than three of them. I mean, who gives you a ranch but not any extra animals?

[She huffs because she can't exactly breed their glorious chicken-mount overlords without more chicken-mounts, can she? But then the cheerful grin is back and she jumps forward to snatch the locket away from the imp.]

But look!

[There's a flare of light and darkness that obscures everything, and when it fades, Lumina is inside somewhere. There are two yellow chocobos, smaller than the black one seen earlier but ride-able, standing over a little wooden box, and Lumina runs over to it. She spins the locket around to her face again, and she is clearly more excited than she can contain.]

There'll be more of them soon!

[And again the locket goes spinning around, pointing inside the box. There's hey, and five eggs about the size of melons, each speckled a different color. She reaches out to tap one of them, which earns her an annoyed little wark from one of the parent chocobos, and then she giggles.]

Sooorry.

[And then back to pointing the screen at herself.]

See Steve, that's a chocobo egg. No you can't eat one. [A beat and a smirk.] I'd say people can come see them but there's that whole war thing going on, huh?

[Another little pause.]

But uh...on a related thing, dooooooes anyone know anything about hatching eggs? Or taking care of eggs? Or...really...anything about eggs? Except the eating part. Anything useful.

[Because she doesn't have a clue whoops.]

You have to keep them warm so they'll hatch. That's... about all I know, really.

Still- congratulations!

they're sort of cute.

keep the eggs warm, around 102 f. 50-65% humidity. but i think that only works for chickens, so i might be misinforming you there.

give it to one of the other birds and see if they'll help you.

[ Not literally. Because... spelling out "give it to a brooding giant ass chicken" sounds sort of weird, anyway. ]

otherwise, good luck with the blankets

Is there a use for these ridiculous animals beyond being food?

My apologies, seeing as they resemble a common fowl I'd assumed that they would be used in a similar way. But they're mounts then? Interesting, I've never seen a bird used in such a way before.

[And that gives Mordred an idea.]

Tell me, are they suitable for battle?

That is of some interest to me.

[Mordred thought for a moment before deciding, yes this is an interesting and good idea.]

If we could somehow reach an agreement, would you mind parting with of those things eggs? I wouldn't mind trying to break one of these beasts for use as a personal steed.

Do the chocobos have a nest?
