Event || Crystallis de Chocobo

[melodiesmods]

Characters: All the Heroes of Light participating in the event.
Where: Chocobo Farm
When: The 16th of August.
Summary: One day after having received a letter from Biggs telling them to get a Chocobo, the Heroes of Light's Moogles will show them the way to the Chocobo Farm. There, the old man in charge of the place will explain to them how to capture their own Chocobos. This post is for all Chocobo related activities. Characters can start their own thread and engage in Chocobo activities, help each other, etc.

There will also be a thread for characters to question the Old Man and Moogle in charge of the farm, as well as another one for the Boss Battle against the Chocobo Eater. Please refer to the OOC Post for instructions on how to capture a Chocobo and what can be done with them. The specific content of the rewards will be posted once the event over.
Warning: Boss Battle against a Chocobo Eater.

Old Man & Moogle Questions
BOSS BATTLE: Chocobo Eater

Upon arriving at the Chocobo Farm, the Heroes of Light will be greeted by the old man and his faithful Moogle (who seems to be at least as old as he is, if not more). The Chocobo Farm looks exactly as what one could expect of a farm dedicated to Chocobos: vast areas where Chocobos can run freely, enclosures and stables where both regular and professional racer Chocobos are kept and of course a house where the old man and his Moogle live. East of the farm is a cliff, not a very tall one, but certainly tall enough should one stumble and fall. Chocobos can be seen passing by the area, but they're too far and too fast to be captured.

Noticeably enough, the enclosure is empty. And the old man is quick to explain why: a Chocobo Eater has eaten what little Chocobos hadn't been sold yet! Thankfully, the creature isn't anywhere to be seen, so for the time being the Heroes of Light can hunt Chocobos without having to worry. The Moogle will give each Heroes of Light a Chocobo Lure, along with instructions on how to use it and explanations regarding the different types of Chocobos. Thanks to the Chocobo Lure, Chocobos running in the distance will now approach the characters... Hopefully they will be friendly Chocobos.

"Monk?" The job class didn't seem to fit her but at the same time it did. It was odd that something like that was chosen for her but at least it wasn't too strange that it didn't.

He canted his head to the side and leaned back to give her space with a soft chuckle. "You don't seem like the meditating type. How did you acquire it?"

He was no stranger to bruised knuckles and hard hits. If she could manage to do the job that was given, then maybe there was a reason his was picked as well. He knew that he was given Warrior but he hadn't known about the Monk class just yet.

"That's because I am not the meditating type," She snorted softly, stretching her arm about a bit to make sure the bandage wasn't on too tight. "I woke up with it, I never asked for it. If I did, then I doubt the other Genesis would have picked Scholar."

Considering it offered no offensive abilities whatsoever. She wasn't sure why Monk was chosen for her. She wasn't one to fight with her fists, in fact, she didn't always enjoy close range combat if she could help it. O course, that's when her magic came into place when she needed it.

"Ah. So you're not that much different than the Genesis I know." Angeal had the patience for meditating but Genesis didn't. His friend could read poetry forever, but to sit there and clear his mind wasn't something he though either of them were fond of in the least. It wasn't that they couldn't do it, it was more along the lines that they just didn't like it.

They were magic users and the ability was something that Angeal was the weakest in performing. Magic simply didn't stick.

"Not really, a lot of our memories are the same, it seems," She replied. She wasn't that disturbed by it, since she wasn't too surprised that their experiences which led them to similar paths of degradation would mean that their pasts would be that vastly different. But they didn't talk too much over it, since that could last days. "But there are differences. Being a woman certainly changes a few things."

[wear_tear_rust]

"How so?" He canted his head to the side. "I won't argue that you're, well, obviously different and that's significant but I want to know how you think it's that much different."

Angeal wasn't about to deny the conversation since it was nice to know where she was coming from to better assist her later on.

[rhapsoidein]

Genesis sighed, resting her hands on her hips. Angeal could be slow sometimes, she had to remember that. A smart man, but as everyone does, he has his moments. This seemed to be one of them. "Did you ever wonder why there were so few women in SOLDIER? Does your SOLDIER even have women? Not to mention the sheer thought of even having women in the army? It tends to blow the minds of men and, as always, they tend to be overt in their perversions when around other men."

She didn't want to go into detail of some of the harassment she had to endure nor of how painful it truly was to have mako put into her body.

"It was just... different. Different enough, Angeal."

[wear_tear_rust]

"Come to think of it, no. I hadn't seen any at all. It was why I asked. I'll have to take your word for it. I can't say that I have anything to draw from to compare." Angeal shrugged slightly. It was an odd subject of discussion but at least he got that part out of the despite the embarrassment he suffered if only slightly.

[rhapsoidein]

"It's just something I'd rather not delve too deeply into, but one thing I will mention is that apparently mako doesn't like estrogen," Genesis replied. "So not a lot of women aren't SOLDIER by default, but as always, there are those who work through it or aren't as effected by it."

This was now the part where Banora poked her beak against Genesis' backside, causing the woman to jump with a gasp. "Would you knock that off?"

"Kweeeeh..."

"She's hungry, kupo!" Monty said, lugging a bag of apples now on his tiny shoulders. Banora jumped and wiggled at the food.

"Well so am I, and whose fault is that?"

[wear_tear_rust]

Angeal was glad that he packed away extra just in case. Grumpy people made sloppy fighters and he wasn't going to let her suffer because of her chocobo. He swung the heavy pack from his back and opened it up. From deep inside the bag, he had packed away fruits and lifted up an apple toward Genesis.

"You need to eat first. I'll take care of the chocobo problem." He lifted his hand again to pull out two more and handed one to each. "Next time, I'll make sure to have vitamins as well. If they don't get enough, they'll continue to eat more than they should and we don't want them to suffer from crop impact."

[rhapsoidein]

Genesis took the apple, shoving Banora's beak away so she could eat it without her trying to steal it again. Of course, when Angeal showed more, Banora swiftly forgot the one Genesis had and went for the one Angea brought. "I'm sure the farm will also feed them properly, Angeal. Unless you plan the stable them in your home?"

That would be messy. And kind of smelly. Chocobos did have a unique odor about them, after all.

[wear_tear_rust]

Angeal laughed just then, "Uh, no. I'll just make it a point to visit them daily. There's no harm in visiting. Aside from that, I wish to establish trust between Demeter and myself."

He knew that keeping chocobos was smelly work and he wasn't about to offend the neighbors, namely Genesis and Sephiroth with the constant odor and the random kwehs at night. Even though he could house one easily, it wasn't a grand idea.
