[video] Open to both courts | Backdated to the first. CHOCOBO PANIC.

[chaoticwhimsy]

[When the image clicks on, it shows Lumina standing in the middle of the central field of her ranch, her house in the background and a mostly empty set of stables in front of her. There is one agitated red chocobo tied to a post besides her, warking unhappily and tugging at his lead. Lumina is talking to two of her stable hands, gesturing wildly. She's bundled up in a heavy pink coat, and looks exceedingly unhappy.]

...know why they ran off, I can't talk to them! Try to catch them before they get too far!

[The locket shakes, and the imp holding it out-of-sight calls out Lumina's name, and the child spins around. She's clearly panicked.]

My chocobos are gone! Almost all of them! They just started freaking out and took off!

[As she talks, four imps and a stableman appear behind her, dragging a very unhappy looking Chaos the black chocobo towards the stables by his reins.]

If you see one, try to catch it please! [You can tell she's actually upset because she said please!] I'll come and get it but I can't chase all of them!

[There's a shout from behind her from the imps trying to pull Chaos, and Lumina turns away, then looks back at the locket.]

Just try and calm them down. I can't figure out what's wrong with them!

[And then she was running off to help and the locket clicked shut.]

[ooc: So basically, all the chocobos on this list except for Chaos and Burn have run off! They are fast birds and can defend themselves, and will be all over the region around Mair, for hundreds of miles in every direction! As far as the station after a few days!

People are welcome to find them and tell Lumina, and she'll come and fetch them! New friend cr! Or enemy cr if they try to keep them and she has to go and rescue her birds. :D]

[Pod is outside somewhere, bundled up for winter, and she looks concerned and earnest.]

I would be happy--

[That's when she leans back, brow furrowed, and then shakes her head.]

Except, I don't know if the voice would work through the lockets to calm them, and I'm probably too far away to have any chance of catching any of them for you.

Still, should Kiga and I see one, we will calm it down and find a way to make sure it comes home.

[Pod! Oh how the world has changed since they spoke last...]

I have a friend who can talk to animals she's coming home to try and figure out what's wrong. Thanks though.

...Are you guys up here? That's probably dangerous.

[wolvering]

We’re near Caer Glaem right now, trying to Heal the animals that were hurt when the Jabberwock passed through. Hopefully your birds don’t get that far! But if one does, we’ll be on the lookout for it.

Ah, good luck to her! I’m still learning myself, and I don’t understand much of the birds yet. I wish there was something I could do to help though.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Man, if they run that far...

[Lumina didn't even want to think about that.]

I don't think she had to learn. I think she just...always knew.

[wolvering]

Then they must be very determined to roam!

[Pod considers that for a moment.]

Ah, then she's lucky. I had to ask the monarchs to be given the gift to learn. I hope to be able to put it to good use someday!

[chaoticwhimsy]

They better not go that far!

Huh. So now that they showed you how, could you teach other people how?

[wolvering]

Your words to the White Hart's ears.

[Pod considers it for a moment.] I had not thought of trying, but what could it hurt! The worst that could happen is that it remains gibberish to someone else.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Yeah. And I mean, people can teach other people how to do their magic, you know?

Maybe it's the same way!

[wolvering]

I've heard of such things! Certainly it is worth a try, and I would be happy to try to teach. I cannot say how good a teacher I'd be, though.
