Hey! Hey Train People- er- Void Treckerians- er - Dudes!

[He waves and gives the ICP a big smile.]

I know some of you sometimes buy random books at the end of the month and I don't have any points- well I have ten, but I'm hoping to buy something for someone.

[He pauses, realizing how that might sound. However, he was on a mission, so he pushes himself to keep going.]

Would anyone be willing to buy a book on chocobos? Pretty please! It can be for the train library and not just for me! Please! Not enough people know about how awesome chocobos are or worse, don't even know what they are!

[This is a horrifying concept clearly, given his expression.]

Anyway, thanks for listening and keep rocking all.

[He laughs, understanding completely what it was like to have a chocobo stealing gysahl greens. The rest he was listening to with wide, eager eyes. This was the best conversation..]

Really? That would've been cool! I wonder if there were fruit that could do that where we live. Are you from Eos too?

[He paused, trying to picture Dread on a chocobo. Yikes! Poor thing.]

It.. could still run?

[sweetnessandfight]

Yes. Destriers are built for Roegadyn! We have a few different types! Destriers, Belah'dian jennets for Lalafell--they're very small! And I guess Kokuzo is just average, but Prominence is at least a head taller than he is, and far more brawny--all the better to carry someone as large as Dread is!

[She winks, then.]

No, I'm not from Eos. I'm from Hydaelyn. Most of our chocobos are bred from ones that originated in the city-state of Ishgard, though I got Kokuzo from a stable in Gridania, I believe.

[bethereprompto]

Aww, so like the jennets are baby chocobos?

[That was so cute!]

This one time we met this really big, fat chocobo and he was sitting on someone. We had to go back to the chocobo farm to get a special treat to lure him off the girl. I have a couple pictures of that.

[sweetnessandfight]

Lalafells are only about three feet tall, so the jennets are very small compared to the others. Not precisely chick sized, but they're smaller than most--and definitely dwarfed by the destriers!

Oh my! We do have fat chocobos too--we have to use special slices of cake as a lure to get them to fly. It's rather comical to watch...

[bethereprompto]

I'd love a chocobo that small! Well.. I'd want one that small and then another regular one so I can ride it- but to play with and talk to, I'd like the smaller one.

[He laughs hearing about fat chocobos trying to fly.]

Hey for a good piece of cake, I'd try to fly too!

[sweetnessandfight]

You have a point--they use starlight cake, which is like, cream cake with rolanberries, and I think for that, I'd try to fly too! I've made it before, but it's usually around midwinter for the Starlight Celebration, hence its name!

I think the jennets might work well here as companions, honestly. Maybe not many, so we might have to share, but chocobos are such clever and personable birds, I can't see how that would be an issue--save folk might want to keep them to themselves! [Sarai laughed at that, especially since she realized that she might miss her own bird a bit much!]

[bethereprompto]

I don't know what rolanberries are but that sounds wonderful. You wouldn't know how to make it would you?

[His eyebrows shot up to his hairline with sudden excitement.]

Really? Here on the train? You think- O.M.G. for real?

[Prompto dashes off the screen, racing right out of his room shouting 'Gladio! Let's get chocobo babies!'. RIP conversation.]
