How To Be A Chocobro; Friday (?), First Period [12/18].

Okay, so, something was definitely not right, but Prompto was really starting to worry that it was definitely a Prompto thing and not a Fandom thing. Because that morning had started with Gladio waking him up not for their usual oh so handwaved Saturday morning jog around the island, but, instead, telling him to get his butt up because they were going to be late for class. And he tried arguing that they'd already had class yesterday, because it was Saturday, but Gladio insisted and then wondered what was wrong with Prompto, was he still hungover from Wednesday? So Prompto then thought that clearly Gladio was just trying to mess with him...until Ignis joined in and was also getting ready for class, and he supposed they could have both been trying to prank him, but then everything else about that morning fell into the same beats, and the next thing he knew it, he was following them in a little bit of a confused daze up to the school.

For their class.

That he could have sworn they'd already done yesterday.

In marshmallow snow just like yesterday, too.

Was there such a thing as extreme deja vu? Because if there was, that's what Prompto was pretty sure was going on right now as they entered the bright sunny day on the chocobo farm.

"Alright, everyone!" said Gladio, raising his voice over them in case some of them were already getting distracted by the chocobos waiting in their pens, just like he had the day before. "It's our last class, and it's definitely been...an interesting one, but we hope you at least had fun and maybe even learned something."

"Even if," Prompto found himself muttered, with a deep, deep frown, as the words seemed to leave him hollow and strange, "what you learned was just that chocobos are...great..."

"And as such," Ignis continued, seemingly unaware of how strange any of this was, "as your final assignment, we'd like you to go ahead and compose an essay along those lines. Namely, what you have come to feel makes a person a..." He hesitated with a faint sigh, still not quite convinced that this should ever be a word uttered out of anyone's mouth ever, "chocobro."

"That's right, guys," Gladio's tone was almost apologetic. "We're having you do a final assignment, an essay on What It Means to Be a Chocobro, but, after that, youv'e got the rest of the class period to just enjoy yourself, hang out with the chocobos, we've got some obstacle and racing courses just down the way there. So when you're done with the essay, the farm is all yours. Any questions before we begin?"

Less of a lecture, more of just instructions, but if you've got questions or even concerns, now's the time to ask them.

Take some time to sit down and really ponder the answer to the question What does it mean to be a Chocobro?

Seriously, though, your teachers are just as clueless about that as anyone.

It's totally fair to corner them in to trying to answer the chocobro question, too.

As much as Gladio would agree that this made more sense as a final class, a part of him was still a little disappointed he couldn't figure out a good way to incorporate more running in this....

Meanwhile, Ignis would probably be far too invested in those essays and breaking them down thoughtfully as he himself grappled with the fact that this had, essentially, been what he had contributed to thi island for this semester...

Thank goodness for the successes in his community center class to balance out what felt like an utter blow-off class here.
