Save the Chocobos

Who: Everyone that signed up for the UFO stakeout
Where: Aqures Ixen, Chocobo Ranch area
When: February 19th-20th, nighttime
Summary: The Heroes of Light hide out at the ranch and wait for the mysterious animal kidnappers to appear.
Warnings: Three comment starters. Final thread will be locked until the end of the stakeout.

[The excitement of Valentoine's Day has passed, and with more news about the UFOs, Duster brings his focus back to the planned stakeout. The night was chillier than any midnight stroll he experienced in Tazmily, and he wears a thick coat that only covered his body above the waist. He pulls his brown hat's earflaps down to better keep the warmth in.

The inside of the stable is warmer, but not by much. It's not much of a savior to Duster, who remains outside, keeping watch as long as he's awake. Staying up late is easy; all it took was fixing his sleep schedule the past few days to his old night owl tendencies.

He takes a seat on a pile of hay by the tables and waits.

((OOC: Welcome to the final UFO Stakeout log! You can still talk with NPCs during the mingle thread, and you are welcome to put up your own starters under the main event thread. The final phase of this event, however, will be a single thread))

Finally, a light she could see by! Rialynn quickly started forward, ignoring the twigs and leaves stuck in her hair as she drew her rapier...

And skidded to a hasty stop, mouth gaping open as she saw the twisting struggling man float up into the air on a beam of light. What...what in the world...why...?

Her hand came up to cover her mouth. There was no way they could pursue that ship on foot. What if that had been one of them? And why did these beings change the pattern? She'd thought they were only interested in livestock and other animals. Now they were taking people too?

"What...er...what do we do now?"

Cloud cursed as the UFO got away from him again. He and Zack kept running in the hopes of finding something but eventually they both had to admit that this was a lost cause. He really thought they had a chance this time. Both rider and mount looked upset as they rejoined the group.

"It got away. All of this was for nothing." Zack huffed in agreement. Cloud noted the captured thieves, and he appreciated that, but he was still worried about what the Hypello had told him. Poachers would sell their birds, at worst kill them and sell them piecemeal. It was horrible, but the idea of them being experimented on or worse by whoever was in that machine made his blood run cold.

Ramza sighed. "We protected the chocobos this night." It was not as much as they had hoped, but it was something, at least. "We will...just have to keep watch, and catch that thing when it comes back."

He did not look forward to more late-night stake-outs and chases, but Heroes did what they had to, not what they wanted to.
