Once More, With Feeling!

[shepherd_prince]

WHO: Chrom, Aang, Selphie Tilmitt, and open to anyone else who wants to find a chocobo
WHAT: A mini-expedition sets out once more to find chocobos. A Chocobo Knight is nothing without his birb.
WHEN: Septembird 5th, 2016 - Labird Day
WHERE: Calm Plains


Chrom was pleased that the weather proved to be so accommodating. He'd been worried, given the nasty storms that had heralded their return from the rift, and the thick clouds that had plagued yesterday's sky made him uneasy that their venture would be ruined by rain. But to his relief, cloudy was as bad as it got, and it was a welcome relief from the sweltering sun of summer.

With the chocobo lure gratefully borrowed from the old man at the ranch, Chrom set out with his companions. He allowed Aang to use the lure first, as he was the youngest in their group. Selphie could go next.

Part of him wondered if he would see the strange man in the chocobo suit show up again, but the saner part hoped he wouldn't. He didn't like disappointing people, and he surely would if he declined a ride yet again.

[OOC: Feel free to find whatever type of bird you like. Or if you prefer to choose randomly, use RNG 100 with the following table:

1-69: Yellow Chocobo
70: Man in a chocobo suit
71-75: Aqua Blue
76-80: Green
81-85: Red
86-90: White
91-95: Purple
96-100: Light Blue

Have fun!]

[Donnel had literally only arrived just that day, and according to his Moogle, he is a Chocobo Knight. Whatever that is. And apparently he must catch one! How hard can that be?

So, oblivious to the fact that a group expedition is out to do exactly this, he grabs the crystal and sets out! And when he finally sees a yellow Chocobo off in the distance...

You may hear this VERY LOUD SHOUTING.]

W-what the - That's the biggest bird I've ever seen! Is that some kinda... dragon-chicken?! Don't tell me that's...

Rolled a 63!

[Selphie may have mastered the Gambler job but that didn't mean that she was lucky. She'd taken the lure from Chrom and had set it up as instructed at the farm but the perky brunette wasn't expecting to actually catch a Chocobo.

When she saw a young chocobo approaching her however, Selphie placed the lure on the ground and coaxed the bird toward her with a mix of Ghysal and Sylkis Greens. It took quite some time for the skittish little thing to come close enough but before long, the half-grown Chocobo was letting her pet it as she carefully looped the reign around its beak.]

Now... what to name you...?

Rolled a 41

[All right, time to give this another shot. Considering how many chocobo eaters Chrom accidentally attracted and had to exterminate last time, he thinks they might be extinct. So this time he should have no problems.]

[It would be nice for something to go according to plan without unnecessary complications for a change.]

[He walks, and walks, and walks...and no sign of any chocobos yet. And yet, there's an unmistakable feeling of being...watched...]

[Chrom turns around quickly, but sees only his companions.]

That's strange...

[His brow descends for a moment, but seeing nothing, he walks forward again. That feeling continues to persist. He finds himself glancing at the shrubberies with growing unease. If this winds up being another man in a chocobo costume...]
