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.]

Comments

[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?

[forthecake]

Umm, it all seems really difficult to me.

[fierybluebird]

Sometimes the things most worth it are. It's not as hard as it first looks, and it makes life in general a lot easier.

[forthecake]

I like my life right now though.

[fierybluebird]

If you're sure, eh?

But I think you're bright enough it wouldn't be too hard.

[forthecake]

You think so? People normally call me dumb. [He's not bothered by this though.]

[fierybluebird]

You figured out that a bird was causing trouble just because she was trying to feed her young... and then figured out how to help her.

No, I'm positive you aren't an idiot.

[forthecake]

[He rubs the back of his head.] Thanks!

[fierybluebird]

I'm sure of it. So if you ever do want to learn, option's on the table, eh.
