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!))

No, no. He doesn't want to think about his past self. He's in the present now.
...It looks like that's getting more than a little under Ramza's skin, though...
He tries to pry Chobo off of him for a few more seconds before responding.]
I think it was after we spent three weeks in a coma and almost got killed by Lugia. [Gold help him out here-]

[To further mess up Chobo's work, Gold gives Silver a well deserved noogie as he continues.]
That's when we met Crys, too. I figured that even if Silver went off to do his own thing, he'd still come back around 'cause we had a common enemy and all that jazz-- Whoa!
[And promptly gets squawked off screen by Chobo. How dare you mess up her work, Gold! Just because you look fine doesn't mean anything!!! Shoo! Shoo!!!]

Okay. Ramza knows a scant few of those names getting thrown around, so hopefully he can piece this mess together...]
So you two met as foes in battle... but what nearly killed you? 'Lugia,' you said?
video
That was our first battle just for fun. We picked some fights before that. [There. That's truthful but not more informative than it needs to be.] Lugia's this huge legendary Pokémon. It looks kind of like some mix between a bird and a dragon. [Yes. Lugia. Talk about Lugia. It sounds a lot more cool and dangerous and a lot less illegal.]
