How to Be A Chocobro; First Period; Friday x 3 [12/19].

[hashtag_chocobro]

And so here they were again. Prompto had briefly thought about trying to prevent this, from trying to explain to Gladio and Ignis that it wasn't really Friday, they'd already taught this class twice now, but he knew from yesterday that they wouldn't be convinced and he was outnumbered anyway, so why even go through the trouble? Gladio barely even hollered at him before he acquiesced and they marched through the marshmallow snow for the third time to teach a class about chocobos again, to the point where Prompto thought he might actually be getting sick of them.

No, no, that was a lie. He could never actually get sick of chocobos, and, in fact, that was the one thing about this that seemed to be making it tolerable.

"Alright, everyone!" said Gladio, raising his voice over them as they gathered on that nice, sunny day on the chocobo farm 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 dutifully added with a sigh, "what you learned was just that chocobos are...great..."

"And as such," Ignis continued, with perhaps a small, worried from at Prompto and his lack of enthusiasm, but he continued all the same, "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.

No one will blame you if your essay is as short as it could be just so you could go and get your chocobo on. Mod your chocobo and chocobo experiences at will and have fun!

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....

...especially since Prompto seemed like he could use a bit of a pump up today...

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.

Especially since something seemed to be troubling Prompto; perhaps he should make a point to see how he was doing later.

There were chocobos, and that was nice, but Prompto was mostly just wondering how many more time he could stand doing this and whether there was a way to get it to stop, and he should probably ask around or maybe go find Annie again, and, oh man, if this kept going on, then they might not be able to get back to Insomnia when they were supposed to, he'd have to let Noct know, and the Marshal was probably going to kill them, they already spent too much time away these days as it was, even if Noctis did have all that special training keeping him busy, and....
