Characters: Fayt Leingod, Ameena Leffeld, Nel Zelpher, and whoever else would like to interact with any of the three! First thread is locked to just them, though.
Where: Around the chocobo farm and it's general vicinity
When: Backdated to the 23rd
Summary: Chocobos!
Warning: Birds. So many birds.

After a bout of discussion, they'd all come to the conclusion that acquiring a personal mode of transportation for themselves was probably a good idea. Airships were all well and good for long distance travel, but traveling on the ground gave a person a better idea of the land around them, and Fayt had been itching to do just that.

Of course, he's not so sure about this crystal the man had given them.

"So one of the moogles can activate this, and it'll attract the... chocobos?"

"As far as he wants to take you, kupo!" And as fast as Irisa is ushering them both along, Ameena still trailing behind the whole group with uncertainty.

However, there is one chocobo, a white one trailing among the bunch who seems to be noticing this. With a loud "kweh!" it too runs up to join in pushing Fayt along, seeming to grow irritated with every passing minute.

"H-hey! Stop that, I'm going as fast as I can like this." Fayt tries to shove the white chocobo off of him as gently as he can, grimacing a little at the loud ripping sound that issues from his sleeve as a seam gives way.

There goes that, then.

"Damn it...."

[tocompleteawish]

Excuse you, blue boy? Are you really denying his desires?! Very well then, he shall take the lovely maiden instead! You can go do whatever you want with the rest of these birds!

Which means that before Ameena even knew what was happening, she found herself half-pulled onto, half-dragged by the persistent white chocobo, who now seemed intent on just doing its own thing with her now.

"H-hey! Please, slow down!"

Nope, not happening, on to adventure!

"Ameena?!" Fayt's nearly ready to tear himself away right there, but then his chocobo suddenly gives up any effort, and finally decides to let Fayt go, tattered shirt and all.

At least for what amounts to about three seconds.

Before he can even think about going to her, the bird ducks and shoves it's head between his legs, flipping him onto it's back.

Face first into it's feathers. Yeah, he's gripping for dear life. That strangled yell is definitely not the most masculine sound to ever escape his throat.

[tocompleteawish]

If this were any other situation where Ameena wasn't hanging on to a giant bird for dear life she would have laughed, but she barely registers Fayt's yell as the white chocobo carries her at full speed. Maybe once they were home she could tease him, but right now?

Holy Apris, she hoped Fayt was still okay and the white chocobo wouldn't carry her too far. If they would up in dangerous territory...!

Luckily for Fayt, the chocobo seems to locate the area it's looking for soon enough, a patch of dry-ish grass dotted with rocks and a half dead tree. Nothing really remarkable, nearly indistinguishable from the rest of the plains, but the chocobo seems to think it's a good spot to stop.

Of course, that doesn't mean it's going to stop gently.

When the bird digs it's talons into the dirt to come to a sudden stop, Fayt goes flying, his face going from being buried in feathers to the hard, rocky ground in less than a breath.
