BBS & Action

[fierybluebird]

[1) Action: Marco can be found wandering about the Garden's open areas, whistling to birds, and perhaps more astonishingly, having them whistle back or come land on his shoulders or pineapple looking head.

2) Later the following BBS post pops up:]

Heading out on the honeymoon soon, before anything else can pop up to drag my new wife or I away. So I need someone to help with a few loose ends while we're gone. Souvenirs &/or babysitting gil can be rewarded upon request. Can SeeDs field out smaller jobs? I should know this by now... well if we can, count this as that, but you'll have to be very trustworthy. Let me know if you're interested!

-- Marco, SeeD Rank

[Option 3, you can get Marco while he's packing.]

[Waves a hand back and forth.]

Not really, they can take care of themselves. You can bring them birdseed if you're gentle though, they'll slowly adopt you if you do.

You like birds?

[forthecake]

Oh, I don't think I have any birdseed with me... do they like apples at all?

[He nods.] I fed Dynablade's children before.

[fierybluebird]

If you break it up into pieces, sure.

Dynblade?

[forthecake]

Okay, I'll try that!

Dynablade is a large bird. She can be scary sometimes, but she only wants to raise her children.

[fierybluebird]

And you were able to feed her kids? Talented. She didn't get upset?

[forthecake]

Well, she was ruining everyone's crops, so I fought her. [He seems a little upset.] I didn't realize that she was raising her children.

But no, she wasn't upset at me when I fed her children after the fight.

[fierybluebird]

That was nice of you. Ah, the ending I mean. Once you realized the full situation. Most people wouldn't bother taking the time to understand that much.

[forthecake]

I thought most people would help out like that.

[fierybluebird]

If they understood. Like I said, most don't take the time to understand.

[forthecake]

Oh... [Pause.] I usually don't understand.

[fierybluebird]

[Pats his head.]

It's a good thing you did. Thank you and keep up the good work. That's all you need to know. [Small grin.]

[forthecake]

[Kirby smiles, looking happy about the pat.]

I'll do my best!

[fierybluebird]

[Oh god he will die of cute.]

So you get along with baby birds, eh?

[forthecake]

Yes! They're cute.

[fierybluebird]

Would you be interested in looking after a chocobo for a couple of weeks?

[forthecake]

What's a chocobo?

[fierybluebird]

[Holds his hands out for the size of a very fat goose or weirdly shaped turkey.]

Yellow bird about that big when they're small. Eventually they get big enough to be ridden.

[forthecake]

Oh. [He smiles] Sure! I'll watch over your Chocobo!

[fierybluebird]

Thanks matey! [Beams.] His name is Lark. He's really easy going.

[forthecake]

[He smiles back.] What kind of food does he eat?

[fierybluebird]

Mashed veggies are best, especially if you can mix it with a bit of protein, I can write you a list before I leave if you're willing.

[forthecake]

Okay, mashed vegetables... I think I can remember that!

[He rubs the back of his head.] I don't know how to read.

[fierybluebird]

At all?

I'll make a picture menu. Are you taking weekend classes?

[forthecake]

[He shakes his head.]

I'm an assistant chef here, so I don't have any classes. [He looks relieved at that too.]

[fierybluebird]

Do you want to learn?
