[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]

Yeah, they're from my world. I asked for them in a boon!

Nobody knows. Shijima is gonna come talk to them.

[oblivious_klutz]

Oh, that's pretty neat! I wonder what I'd ask for. I hadn't really thought about it myself.

Shinjima? Someone that can talk to these chocobo? That's amazing!

[chaoticwhimsy]

Well you better think quick!

She can talk to all the animals, actually.

[oblivious_klutz]

All animals?! She can talk to dogs?

[This is amazing why did she not know of this Shinjima person before now? Momentarily distracted with this from the issues with the chocobos at hand.]

[chaoticwhimsy]

I...guess.

She probably wouldn't want to, though.

[oblivious_klutz]

Why not? Dogs are so friendly and loyal! I'd love to be able to talk to them!

[chaoticwhimsy]

[How to say this without giving away Shijima's secret.]

She's more of a cat person.

[Whoops.]

[oblivious_klutz]

Oh. I see. I guess that makes sense. Being able to talk to animals is still pretty amazing! I can't do anything like that! I guess everyone sometimes wonders what animals would be saying if we could understand them. Or, most everyone, unless others can talk to them too, somehow. It must come in pretty handy.

[That this sort of thing might be a secret mostly goes over Colette's head. Given she herself has had no reason to ever need to hide her own powers.]

[chaoticwhimsy]

You should talk to her about it sometime. She might tell you what they're saying.

[oblivious_klutz]

Really? That would be amazing! Ah--if she wouldn't mind.

[chaoticwhimsy]

She's not...very chatty, but I doubt she'd mind.

[oblivious_klutz]

It's worth a try! I wouldn't push or force her to if she doesn't want to, but I think it would be fun!
