Lumina COURT Unseelie TITLE The Impling OCCUPATION Chocobo Breeder! ABLE TO FAST-TRAVEL Lumina can teleport to all of the major cities at this point, and about half of the minor ones. She is slowly collecting smaller ones when she gets bored. RESIDENCE IN 2,701 A small chocobo ranch on the outsiders of Mair, and her room at Caer Scima. RESIDENCE IN 2,702 A somewhat more developed ranch, and also still her room at Caer Scima! MAJOR EVENTS HIGHLIGHT Description [ ✖ ] HIGHLIGHT Description [ ✖ ] HIGHLIGHT Description [ ✖ ]

PLANS Large plans for development or activities for the timeskip, etc. SUMMARY OF KNOWN DETAILS Lumina will be working on developing her Chocobo ranch into an actual ranch and not the three-birds-and-a-little-girl that it is right now. With the death of the Jabberwhelp and her attitude being shaken somewhat, she'll also be turning more towards learning how to actually fight, and not just be a little pest. Somewhat. When it amuses her. Her seelie friends may find she isn't speaking to them much, because she's going to finally be pretty pissed at the other side of the war, instead of just not caring. Anyone who is friends with her on the unseelie side can expect to have her drop by at least once a week just to check in and say hi and be a pest. She's not exactly good at being by herself, and the loss of the lockets is going to hit her hard. TIMELINE OF EVENTS SPRING IN 2,701 (Mar, Apr, May) MARCH - During the cold spell, Lumina and Lemina will be working to get magical heating set up in Lumina's chocobo ranch. The second round of eggs will be born as well, numbers and colors not yet determined. APRIL - Lumina won't really mind the harp, her emotions are already pretty chaotic. That said, she is going to have a breakdown towards the end of the month that will result in her smashing the harp. Need someone to be around while she breaks down. May - Lumina will be hunting the swans for the cash money! Also people may find her training young chocobos in their magic while she does it! The third set of chocobo eggs will be born this month, numbers and colors not yet determined.. SUMMER IN 2,701 (Jun, Jul, Aug) June - As people prepare to clean up the Jabberwock stuff, Lumina will basically run away to a boat adventure with the Outsider in order to avoid thinking about it and getting sad again. She will be heading to the tournament in Treun to watch the excitement but won't be fighting! July - Lumina will return from sea adventures! The fourth clutch of chocobo eggs will be born here, numbers and colors to be determined. As the ranch becomes more crowded, Lumina's focus will be mostly on it for the next few months until she adjusts. August - Forest golems in the trees surrounding Lumina's ranch will do some small damage to the ranch and buildings there before being driven off by the chocobos and Lumina and whomever happens to be around. Lumina will be at the festival of light in Leathann! FALL IN 2,701 (Sept, Oct, Nov) September - Lumina will be at the harvest festival, and probably watching the bread riots with great amusement. The language problems won't change how she speaks (FFXIII doesn't really have languages as a concept) but she won't be able to understand anyone who is not speaking 'English', for the sake of convenience! October SAMHEIN! Lumina may try to talk to the Black Shuck. The Fifth clutch of chocobo eggs will be born this month, however owing to the nature of the month, all eggs will be Black Chocobos. November - Lumina will have some run ins with the escaped prisoners, probably helping to catch them or letting them go depending on her whim, really. WINTER IN 2,701/2,702 (Dec, Jan, Feb) December - Yule! Lumina will be getting gifts for all of her friends! She will also attempt to talk to the white hart, rather than hunt it, which may result in an animal transformation? January - Reclaiming her room in the rebuilt Caer Scima, being happy to see the city in one piece again. Shard training with Ganondorf/the shade in exchange for chocobos for his soldiers? February - Lumina will be at the feast, oblivious to the violence towards the elves! The first chocobo clutch of spring will be born, the largest yet as the various chocobos from last year begin to come of age. SPRING IN 2,702 (Mar, Apr) March - Lumina will spend a chunk of the month protecting her ranch from the skeletons, until she's managed to teach her chocobos to kick the creature's skulls off. Several chocobos will be killed, which will have her pretty angry. April - Three of Lumina's imps will go missing! Along with many she is friends with in the court. She will be exceedingly upset and begin searching for them everywhere she can.

"Mmm...yeah, that would take forever. Or!" She grinned. "I can get us like, a day away from it. And then we can just ride the rest of the way."

Or walk. If he wanted to be lame.

[zerotohiro]

"That sounds like a much better idea." Even if the idea of riding still wasn't entirely appealing to him. But he's been on wolf-back before. The rest shouldn't be that hard. "I'm ready when you are...if anybody asks, I'll just say it's an extension of the quest."

There was a beat that followed, soon added to another skeptical look. "How'd you know I was here anyway?" He'd genuinely forgotten if he told her or not. The last few weeks had been a blur.

[chaoticwhimsy]

"Okay, we'll swing by the ranch, get you a chocobo, then go!" Lumina hopped back to her feet, going over to scoop up her bag, then holding a hand out to him.

"You said you'd be on a quest near here, I just kind of...guessed. Mostly I came by to drop hopscotch off to play with Ariadne's chocobo." Then found out he was here and went to get her books and came back...

[zerotohiro]

"If the chocobo bucks me off or something, I'm blaming you." With his bag fully packed, he double-checks to make sure he has everything before crossing the room. Unlike the first few times they've done this early on in their friendship, he doesn't even hesitate as he grabs her hand knowing what to expect.

"…chocobo playdates? I should be surprised and somehow I'm not." He shook his head, tilting it toward the door as a means of urging her forward. "Let's go."

[chaoticwhimsy]

"If the chocobo bucks you off, it's probably because you deserved it." She said as she waited for him to finish up, then took his hand.

"Of course chocobo play dates," Lumina grinned. "Besides, they're family. Family should see each other." Plus Hopscotch always got lonely without her brothers and sisters.

They were enveloped in the swirl of magic, cold and dark, and then deposited on the front walk outside of her house. Chocobos were scattered about, farmhands too.

"Do you want to come pick one out?" She asked, tugging him towards the stables.

[zerotohiro]

"Like I'd do anything to be bucked off a chocobo." In truth, he probably would even without realizing it. He rolled his eyes, though not entirely disagreeing. Family should see each other, and he wanted to ask who the other birds went to but that could wait.

The pull of the portal travel barely fazed him now even though he boosted his body temperature a bit to warm himself up. Once they reached the ranch, he looked around as she led him to the stables.

"I don't think I really have a choice," he reminded her, though he wasn't bothered. "How many do you have left?"

[chaoticwhimsy]

"Left?" Lumina giggled at the question, her expression turning sly before she pulled open the door to the tables. It had been expanded since he'd been there last, and there were...a lot of chocobos inside. Most of them were still fairly small, really, but many of them were adults too, of various colors, and they all warked upon seeing their mistress. A quick headcount would show at least fifty.

"I think I've got a few." She said as she stepped aside so he could come in.

[zerotohiro]

"Whoa…" That's…a lot of birds. The awe wasn't meant to be so obvious but it was impressive to see the work put in. He shrank back just slightly as the birds warmed and he became aware just how many there were, sticking close to Lumina even while they were inside the stables.

"So…guess this is why we're really going, huh?" It made a lot more sense now, actually. "You could make a killing off of these guys."

[chaoticwhimsy]

Lumina giggled at his reaction. "Yeah. You don't realize how many it is usually, cause they're all outside you know? Spread out. Especially the babies. But when they're in here, all of them..." She waved a hand at the scene,as if to say 'well, there you have it.'

"Yup! That's the plan, anyway." She grinned. "If I get enough of them, maybe I can replace horses! Since these guys are so much better." She turned and whistled, and her chocobo, Chaos,came stomping out from one of the stalls.

[zerotohiro]

"I feel like we've talked about this before." He grinned in response, though he's not backing away and he was making certain that he was out of reach of most of the birds. "Where do they even really come from? Do you just keep asking the monarchs for them?"

There wasn't time for an answer though, not before Chaos joined them. He stopped short, craning his head back to look at the bird a little better. "...we taking one or two of 'em?"

[chaoticwhimsy]

"We totally have," Lumina scrambled up onto Chaos's back, giving him a friendly scratch on the neck. "I had twenty-two adult chocobos when I started, from the monarchs. It'snot hard to guess where the rest came from, Hiro." Eggs. Lots and lot of eggs.

"Mm, you should probably ride your own, Chaos gets weird about other people riding him." She looked over the few chocobos that were already saddled, then pointined out a green one.

"How about her?"

[zerotohiro]

"Yeah I know, basic biology." He snorted a bit, still allowing his gaze to drift over each of the birds. It still baffled him that the monarchs would give her that many birds in the first place, but who was he to ask them why they did anything they did?

At the mention of mounting his own chocobo though he looked briefly alarmed, honing in on the one Lumina pointed out. It saved them the step of having to saddle one already, but...how to explain that he wasn't sure how to ride? He was supposed to just know things.

So instead, he grinned, standing a bit taller as he strode over to the bird. "She'll do, I guess." He stopped next to the chocobo, eyeing her to figure out how to actually climb on her back. He took a few steps back...and ran, jumping high and catching himself on the saddle to haul himself up. There was a much easier way to do this, he's sure, but this would have to do. He took a moment to resettle himself on the saddle, awkwardly holding himself up and away from the chocobo's neck as much as possible.

"...yeah. She'll do. She's not going to bite or anything right?"

Probably should have asked before he climbed on, but they had places to be.
