When the students arrived for their class today, they'd find themselves in just a regular old classroom. But not for long.

"Good morning, younglings!" Minsc, the very large fellow with the scars and the armour and the tattoos and...the hamster...greeted the students boisterously, pounding a fist down on the large desk in front of the blackboard. "Welcome to Care for Magical Creatures! I am your teacher, Minsc, and this is my companion, Boo! In a moment, we shall get started, but at the moment, there is something very important we must do first! These desks! They are evil! They are restrictive! Up! Up out of the desk and quickly, children, we must destroy them entirely and make some proper space in this room!"

"Up, up!" Minsc waved his arms to encourage his students to his feet and, with a great, guttural sort of battlecry, he lifted his foot and kicked it straight into one of the desks. It went flying from the impressive blow, toward the front of the room, smashing into a thousand pieces against the blackboard and settling in a small pile of broken legs and pieces.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Vanquish these desks!"

Only in Fandom, Reno mused, grinning to himself.

"The name's Reno. I'm from a city called Midgar, which used to be heavy on the industry and not so much with the givin' a spit about the people who lived underneath it, but that don't make no difference anymore anyhow, yo. And Fandom turned me into an animal once. A chocobo, which is a kinda bird people ride on instead of horses, where I'm from."

He wasn't going to add that he was a baby chocobo. Wark!

There might have been a softly muttered 'he was a fluffy baby' from a certain blonde girl who was doing her best to look innocent. Really

That raspberry there might have been directed toward a certain, entirely-too-innocent-looking blonde girl. PBBTH.

"Riding on birds instead of horses!" Minsc remarked, a little marveling. He was always interested in creatures he'd never heard about; he couldn't help it. "A bit like gryphons, maybe?"

"Nah, not quite. Gryphons got four legs, Chocobos have two. They're kinda more like... Um."

Oh, it almost pained him to say it. Almost. Nah. Not really.

"Kinda like real big chickens, actually. Big yellow ones. That say 'Wark.'"

....in other words, terrifying.

"Do they fly?"

"Most of 'em don't. If you breed 'em right, people say you're supposed to be able to get a gold one, and that one's supposed to be able to fly, yeah. I think."

Reno was hardly a master of chocobo-isms. Chocobo-ology? Chocobology. Sure.

"They run good. Faster'n most people can, anyhow."

"Which sounds very convenient," Minsc noted, and then seemed moved by a sudden burst of excitement. "Excellent! Should you turn into one, or happen to have one for any reason, I would love to have a look."

The sudden outburst was unexpected, but Reno shrugged it off easily enough.

"I'll, uh. I'll keep that in mind. Mine's bein' taken care of until I graduate, back on Gaia. Didn't know if the stables here could handle somethin' quite like that."

Maybe his giant riding chicken needed to visit Fandom, sometime? Even if it was just wee and beepy, yet.
