[It's that time of year again. Where it is encroaching upon Grell's birthday, she's up in arms about Homecoming, and Marco has no ideas for either. Well, some ideas, just not good ones.]

[So you know what?]

[Fuck it!]

[Marco is hiding out in phoenix form munching squash seeds.]

[Actually, this is not his typical phoenix form. You see normally, he's almost indistinguishable from the world's phoenixes except for being blue and sparkly. This time, it looks like someone bred a horrifying combination of a chocobo and a peacock.]

[Yeah. Not pretty.]

[Marco even shares some of his seeds with the chocobo around them as he asks them for advice. It doesn't go well.]

This is what I get for asking non-homicidal birds, yoi. [Hey, who said that?] I mean... wark. [Deadpan.]

[Later on the BBS this mysterious post will appear (as well as sparkly fliers throughout the halls):]

Attention all SeeD and cadets, this is a very important announcement!

DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR PUMPKIN SEEDS.

They are edible and delicious, and should only ever be planted or devoured.

If you have no interest in roasting them for yourself, see Marco SeeD rank 11 for a 500 gil reward for every pound of seeds you bring, thank you.

You get many this time of year?

BBS

[fierybluebird]

Not many, but some.

Remember that whole jack'o'lantern thing some islands do? A lot of people forget that the pumpkins and squash they're carving are edible vegetables too. Besides, it's about harvest time for squashes, even on Foodvalten.

BBS

[om_nom_namur]

Oh. Never really paid attention

But this time of year is when the big fish come in on the current. Only need like two or three and im good for the whole shitty day

Good times

BBS

[fierybluebird]

Eh, really?

How big are we talking about? Like bigger than you big, or big enough to feed Ace big?

[fionna_time]

Oh yeah, cuz you're a bird, right?

[Wow corner him on the BBS why don't you?!]

I have no idea what you mean.

[Not everyone knows that he's a bird! ......... Maybe!]

2/2 PM

[fierybluebird]

[Which is why he also sends her a PM with this contradictory message:]

Correct, that's part of why. It's also because they're frankly delicious.

Re: 2/2 PM

[fionna_time]

Heh, I see what you did there!

I kinda like 'em too, but I'll save some for ya!

BBS

[om_nom_namur]

Haha no, not that big. Marlins an' tuna, feedin' on anchovies. Net a few and bring em in for ya if you want. Dont think about it much anymore since yall got the cafeteria

[selphie_t]

So, should I save my pumpkin seeds, what's in it for me other than 500 gil per pound?

And by the way, that's a really super mega low premium you're paying for something like that.

BBS

[fierybluebird]

If you do, I've got about seventeen recipes I could try on them. I'm sure Thatch has quite a few as well. And cafeteria or not, I don't think even two cooks are enough here to feed Ace.

[fierybluebird]

You don't have to. I'll probably get a lot so long as Ace doesn't find them all.

[fionna_time]

Is Ace a bird too?

1/2

[fierybluebird]

I just don't want someone throwing them out! I don't care that this isn't a sea-ship, that should still be illegal!

2/2

[fierybluebird]

What do you want instead?

[Yup. He totally isn't willing to pay big bucks. Except that he is.]

[fierybluebird]

No. He's a D.

It means he eats everything.

I've even seen him eat bones.

[fionna_time]

No way! He's that ravenous?

BBS

[om_nom_namur]

Damn shame burning them all up the way yall do. Lose their newtrients

Bring ya some from now on tho. Just tell me when ya want me to stop

[fierybluebird]

Aye. Positively voracious. I know T-Rexaurs who eat less. Daily. And by know; I mean all of them actually.

BBS

[fierybluebird]

I'm not good enough to do sushi, but you can ask Thatch.

[fionna_time]

No way! Does he have a permanently empty stomach?

BBS

[om_nom_namur]

Think if i catch a shark hed do sashimi? Got a bunch a them swimming round two. Aint the big white shitbiters though just little ones. Still. Getting kinda uppity with me. Need to teach em a lesson. Little bastards

BBS

[redcinemareel]

....are you serious, Namur?

[What the actual...]

[fierybluebird]

Or an extremely fast metabolism. He burns up food just by breathing I swear.

BBS

[fierybluebird]

Probably. You know how Thatch is. Always willing for a good cause or bribe.
