How To Be A Chocobro; Friday, First Period [10/08].

[hashtag_chocobro]

The class was meeting in the Danger Shop this week, so you all hopefully knew by now what that meant.

That's right, folks: CHOCOBOS!

Look, sometimes, you just had to embrace a thing for what it was, and this was clearly Prompto's idea for a class this week, because he was especially bouncy as he stood in front of the class in a place that looked a bit like a farm, but for chocobos, and he was grinning from ear to ear.

"Welcome," he said, with a sweeping gesture of his arm, "to Wiz Chocobo Post! Or, at least, our best attempts to recreate it, which I think we managed to get pretty good! But, anyway, Ignis, Gladio, and me, we were thinking, since we've got that school trip coming up next week, we'd try to find something to do that was inspired by the place, and there were definitely a lot of options to go from, but one thing..." Here, his eager expression moved into a little bit of a scrunched face of disapproval, "Big Guy over here," hitching his thumb toward Gladio, of course, who was the one now grinning from ear to ear, "got really stuck on this whole Boston Marathon thing."

"Apparently," Ignis offered, "it seems we may even be there during its run this year. Which naturally made us think that it would be an interesting to experience it for ourselves, but, instead of a Boston marathon, it would end up being a Fandom marathon to lead us through the streets of Fandom." A brief pause. "Stairs and all."

"It's a great run, you guys," Gladio put in. "I highly recommend it."

Prompto's groan made it clear that he did not, and he should know! He'd been running that nearly every other day ever since he started going to school here, thank you very much. "Thankfully," Prompto chimed in, "I was actually able to talk him down from that idea, because, correct me if I'm wrong, but the last thing you're going to want to do on a Friday before the school trip is run around the island a bunch of time. Right???"

Please be with him on this, students!

"We are still going to do a race of sorts," Ignis stepped in, "but one more in with the...supposed theme of our class. After all, as Prompto so wisely pointed out, if we have the chocobos....we might as well use them. Wiz Chocobo Post is a chocobo farm outside the city of Insomnia where we all are from, that specializes in breeding excellent chocobos and is well known for having a few chocobo racing tracks. So, today, we will take some time to get to know and learn how to ride chocobos, and then, we'll set off to the tracks to put our new skills ot the test with a few rounds of thrilling chocobo races."

"But watch out!" Prompto said with a laugh. "We're totally going to be racing with you!"

Because he couldnt' do that to himself, have a class race chocobos and not get to do it, too!

"And if anyone's interested in running the Fandom course with me instead," Gladio offered, maybe a little hopefully, but also realizing that this was a pretty hard sell, "we'll head out and hit the cobblestones."

He would, however, have instant respect for anyone who did take him up on it.

"Without further ado, then," said Prompto eagerly, "let's go meet some racing chocobos!"

Take a look around, enjoy the fake fresh Duscae air, and decide if you'd rather race chocobos here at the Chocobo Post, or go run around the island with Gladio!

Chocobo Meet-and-Greet and Riding Lessons! - Chocobro, 10/08.

[hashtag_chocobro]

There are many fine chocobos here at Wiz Chocobo Post, everything from mighty racing steeds, long distance travelers, and even a flock of adorable fat choco-chicks to distract you! Get some gysahl greens to help you bond with your chocobo, and then get ready for a lesson from Ignis about riding one!

And once you feel ready, it's time to go up to the racing track and get ready to race!

And, yes, you better believe Prompto has piped in the chocobo song to play over the course the whole time. Good luck getting it out of your head!!

[[ no rng or anything, just have fun with it, y'all! =D ]]

Run With Gladio Instead - Chocobro, 10/08.

The option to skip the birds and hit the cobblestones with Gladio is definitely there! He'll probably race with the chocobos, too, if no one takes him up on it, but it is an option! One that he seems almost puppy-dog hopeful for.

Because, of course, they're always there should they be needed for anything outside the context of the class!

This is pretty much Prompto's dream class, so if you want to catch him in the Best Mood Ever, now's a great time!

Was Gladio tempted to find a way to sign himself and his coteachers up for that marathon the moment he heard about it? Oh, you'd better believe it.

It would be good for them!

Although he'd vowed to keep his opinions on this running vs. chocobo matter to himself, Ignis would, if pressured, point out that chocobos were far more efficient, and, when in doubt, efficiency was rarely a bad thing.

Friendly reminder that these boys are the most astounding trick chocobo riders, really:

Why run when you could bond with cute birds? Kiem quickly grabbed some greens and approached the chocobos, cooing a bit at each one of them as he tried to make a good impression by offering food.

"I really can't decide which one to choose."
