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

[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]

It sounds as if something may have frightened them. I can attempt to help locate one if need be.

What can frighten a herd of giant magic birds?

[Eesh.]

Thanks. Just let me know if you find one.

Loud noises. Cruel people. Otherwise untrustworthy people. My dear, I imagine I could think of several possibilities that would frighten birds—giant and magical or not.

If I should manage to capture any of them, I'll be certain to let you know.

If you're mean to my chocobos, they'll probably just claw your face off.

[They are awesome birds, thank you.]

Thanks. Just try talking to them, that usually works.

I was unaware they had claws. [Midna has admittedly never looked at a chocobo so closely. It sounds like she has a personal mission now.] All the same, I'll consider myself fortunate that I've not gotten on the bad side of one.

Although I'll be curious to see if that lasts with my attempts to speak with one. [For the Twili princess is probably not the most comforting person to converse with.]

All birds have claws. Just look at their feet. I guess maybe 'talons' is a better word?

[Ugh, semantics.]

Why, are you going to make them mad?

Talons, yes... I've not been around many birds either. There were birds in my land, but not like your brightly coloured chocobos. And while I wouldn't intentionally irritate one of yours, one can never tell what might happen. For all I know, I could mistakenly insult one.

[Midna shrugs. If they weren't Lumina's, it's entirely possible that she'd agitate them deliberately.]
