02 - In Only Seven Days
[Ramza's standing before the Chocobo barn's open doors, and he's looking more than a little bit wearied as the feed begins broadcasting from the nearby terminal. More likely than not it has something to do with the three large, pale, ovoid shapes clearly visible in a nest within, with his red chocobo Persephone casually watching over them.
A saddled and yellow-feathered one, Boco, soon strides over, some dry grass and straw in his beak.]
Valentine's day, it seems, had gotten the better of these two as well... You've been passing generous, one and all, and both her prior clutch and the new one need not fear for snow or lack of nesting; I think it only fitting I return the favor one way or another.
[Ramza gives a cursory glance back as Boco begins padding out the nest, and returns his gaze to the terminal with a quiet sigh. Yet as soon as Ramza's sight is back toward the camera, Boco pauses, seemingly curious.]
...There's three eggs this time. The chicks can be a handful even more than the grown birds, but hand-reared they're adored as pets and mounts alike, and I offer them up to any capable hands or warm homes who would have them, with my blessings and gratitude.
If you have an interest in fostering them, I would hear it, and I will draw lots as before. And- should you need aid in caring for or hatching the eggs, I can aid you. Gold, as well; he's well-practiced in the matter.
[Persephone soon joins in her mate's curiosity; and, after a bit of nosing around between the eggs, Boco finally pulls out a small kitten by the nape of its neck. The two birds share a look of confusion that Ramza is quick to join as he turns around.]
...How did--
[The feed cuts for the moment.]
((OOC: It's that time again! If your character wants a chocobo (or if you want them to have one), just tag and express the point either OOCly or ICly; the winners of the raffle will be decided a week from this posting. Consult this handy little infodump for more information, and comment there or PM me if you have any questions!))

[She shakes her head no.] I've occasionally ridden them, but I never owned one myself. A friend of mine acquired one when we were traveling together, but he was an adult chocobo when they met.
[video]
Ah; he tamed it from the wild, then? Hardly an easy feat, for true; it took my entire squad's efforts to recruit Persephone thus.
[That mention earned a smug tip of the head from the aforementioned red bird. Choco meteors hurt.]
[video]
The chocobos of your world sound more fearsome than mine, truly. [She sees that look, Persephone.] Which is why I intend to put my all into watching over the chick, should I obtain one.
[video]
[wait a minute. did she say...]
...Your world had moogles?
[video]
Yes, they're a very helpful kind. [Chronicling adventures, delivering mail. Who could ask for more out of strangers?] Does yours not?
[video]
[He blinks. The details were always a bit fuzzy in that regard...]
...It did, once. In times long past, where airships yet filled the skies and man walked and fought hand in hand with their ilk and others... But we've seen naught of them for generations.
[video]
Do you know of any descriptions of them? [She wants to see how similar these long-missing moogles are to those of Gaia.]
[video]
[He'd only ever seen them in artwork; how could he describe it...?]
...Small, white beings, perhaps up to a man's waist, with tiny wings and a pendulum bobbing from their foreheads. They had long, broad ears- a bit like a cat or rabbit- and in spite of their looks were stalwart fighters with minds to match.
