Summer Gigs
[The feed starts, and Ramza's already giving the two odd, ostrich-like birds behind him an exasperated look. The yellow one seems concerned; the red-feathered one... more cavalier than anything else.]
Another clutch... by now I might as well say they're making a habit of this. Three, this time.
[Fortunately, that means it's a routine endeavor for him as well. He arches his back slightly and hefts an item up to the frame. The oval shape and off-white color is familiar enough to just about anyone, and it's not a stretch to imagine that the two Chocobos behind him were the parents.]
As before-- [He took a moment to adjust his grip.] --I'll happily offer the eggs to any guests willing to foster them. In being hand-reared they will better work with humans, and I cannot hope to look after three chicks on my own.
[As if answering Ramza's reply, another yellow bird- somewhat smaller, but mature nonetheless- timidly plods into the frame, already fit with a saddle. But Ramza soon placates her with a well-practiced scratch behind her headcrest, and carefully sets the egg into her saddlebags.]
And further, we've one here whose caretaker has left Saeng Seong, and I would rather find her some human company as well. Her name is Salali... if you would put in a lot for the eggs, pray consider adopting her instead.
[A last pat on the head and she strides away to join the others. The red hen wastes no time in preening her headfeathers back into their proper smoothness.]
My thanks to the guests who've aided us already.
((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, and furthermore, please specify if you're interested in an egg and/or adopting Salali as well. 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!))

But it would explain the big, mechanical masts on the ship. And the apparent lack of sails. Ramza mimics the finger motion, staring off into space as he ponders the workings of such a method.]
...I see.
[Nope, still clueless. But perhaps that wasn't important.]
An impressive feat all the more, to fly without magic.
Re: [video]
Flying with magic actually sounds a lot more impressive.
[Because... Magic! Magic is cool!]
[video]
Magic was common enough to have a mystic fly in strides across a battlefield, but you would not see a boat lifted so!
[video]
[He's clearly still impressed by the idea of someone flying with magic.]
How did you manage to lose your science?
[Asks the robot whose species managed to lose a ton of ancient and apparently irreplicable technology all over Earth.]
