Forty-Nine Kings Slain

[captain_basch]

Those who help with the stables would already know, but to those who do not, during an attack by the horse fiend who was recently at large, two of the Chocobos were slain: Kula and Hubble

You're the person in charge of the Chocolate birds?

[captain_basch]

... chocolate birds?

Ah, I believe you have been misinformed. They are not made of chocolate, nor the color of it either. [Is rather amused by this actually.]

But I suppose you could say I am in charge of them. I do a lot of work with them. Is there something you need help with?

[locketdangle]

No, I was just told about them. Euphemia wants to visit them.

...Why are they called Chocobos if they're not made out of chocolate or chocolate colored?

[captain_basch]

Ah, well the stables are still a mess... and there is blood from the attack so... perhaps in a few days when things are cleaned up. The Chocobos are still settling down from everything as well, so they are a bit jumpy.

But you are both welcome to visit at that time.

There are actually brown Chocobos, but the ones we domesticate are yellow and are the most common. Tis merely a name, I know not why the chose it when there is no chocolate involved. [He chuckles a little.]

[locketdangle]

I see. We weren't planning on leaving until things were settled anyway. Um... is there wheelchair access?

That's strange.

[captain_basch]

A good idea. Things are... too dangerous for people to be out and about unless absolutely necessary.

Their are no stairs to get into the stables, they could merely roll on right through the door.

I had never thought of it as you have, but I suppose it is a bit odd.

[locketdangle]

Good. Because we'll be having someone in a wheelchair too.

Things should be named after what they are, so there is no confusion.

[captain_basch]

There is plenty of room for a wheelchair to move around in here, so I assure you it shall not be a problem for them to move around.

While I agree, I did not name them so I cannot tell you what they were thinking when they did so.

[locketdangle]

Mm.

Can you name them something else?

[captain_basch]

I suppose if you wished you could call them something else. Though many here know them from their own worlds so a name change would be a bit strange.

All of the Chocobos do have their own individual names as of recently. I guess you could always call them big yellow birds? Or big birds? Perhaps after you see them, you could think of a nickname?

[locketdangle]

I don't know.
