They are cute, the chocobo chicks, but it feels a little sad that so many people seem to have forgotten about #horses and their #foals.

I was asked if they are some form of weird deer among other things.

((ooc: 1 & 2; pretend they're sketches, I just couldn't resist using these since they're so charming.))

spKoutarou Takao @lemonleaves spIt would make much more sense, yet they're built somewhat differently. Dying them would be unkind, too.

spSouji Narukami @meowji spI googled pictures of actual emus afterwards and you're right, they're similar but also different. But if they're not emus, then I'm not sure what they are or where they came from. I'm sure we didn't have Chocobos before now.

[wordcarvings]

A new breed...though then it would probably be introduced as such with a lot of excitement.

[tarotcards]

And all the townspeople wouldn't act like they've always been around.

I can't imagine a prank so elaborate that everyone in the city is in on it.

[wordcarvings]

No, it's too over the top for that.

[tarotcards]

What else could it be, then? I can't seem to think of anything else.

[wordcarvings]

No idea. Perhaps we are all sharing a bizarre dream.

[tarotcards]

Do you think someone is incepting us right now in an attempt to make us believe that chocobos are real?

[ yes, souji's referring to the leonardo dicaprio movie right now ]

[ Koutarou doesn't really watch movies and he can't understand after googling "incepting" either. ]

I'm sorry, I don't really understand what you mean by that.

But they probably want us to think they're real.

[tarotcards]

Sorry, movie reference.

Wonder why they had to get rid of the horses then. They're pretty popular animals, so I don't think anyone really hates them. They're cute too, like those pictures you've posted.

spKoutarou Takao @lemonleaves spOh, I see.

spKoutarou Takao @lemonleaves spThat is odd, one would imagine that if they were so insistent on switching animals out they would at least choose something a little more similar, as well.

[tarotcards]

spSouji Narukami @meowji spYou'd think, but to look at the bright side of all this, at least it is kind of entertaining to see the mounted police riding on giant yellow chickens rather than horses. It certianly isn't as intimidating.

[wordcarvings]

spKoutarou Takao @lemonleaves spThat is very true. Horses have more presence, so to speak. If the chocobos had looked more like predatory birds maybe they had been a bit closer.

spSouji Narukami @meowji spMaybe they should invest in spiked collars and anklets to let everyone know how bad they really are

[wordcarvings]

spKoutarou Takao @lemonleaves spDo you think that would help?
