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.

"What, so magic is cheating now?" Lumina stuck her tongue out at him. "So why're you trying to learn it?"

[zerotohiro]

"I never said cheating was bad..." He replied with a slight lilt to his voice. "I just thought you'd be a little more creative than that, that's all."

[chaoticwhimsy]

"Nah. Sometimes the best answer is the most straight-forward one!" She grinned as she said this, because she almost never believed it.

"Besides, I like showing off." She gave a little pose as she said it.

[zerotohiro]

"Contradictory sentence!" He laughed. "You can't show off and be straight-forward, those are like two totally different things." And he soon settled for dropping his tools and the wood all together, moving to turn toward another part of the ranch. "Mind if I take a look in the stables? I wanna check something out."

[chaoticwhimsy]

"Says you. I'm perfectly capable of doing both at the same time."

She snickered as she said this though, and then shrugged, spinning around once before pointing the way.

"Sure, they're over here."

[zerotohiro]

"And being capable and being good at doing both are also two separate things. I don't know if you've ever been straightforward before in your life." He was hoping he wouldn't take it too far and offend her again but at this point it was how he treated a lot of his friends. Lumina was Lumina and Lumina could handle this. Right? Right.

"I want to see what I'm working with, maybe I'll get some other ideas, too. If we have to we can just build feeders in the actual stables themselves."

[chaoticwhimsy]

"Why would I be straightforward? Straightforward is boring. It's way more fun when other people have to figure things out and I already know the answer."

Lumina was basically a walking font of vaguely helpful hints, really. Or she had been back home.

"If we make them feeders that are inside the stables, they're gonna get fat." Lumina did not need a herd of fat and lazy giant magic birds.

[zerotohiro]

"So what do you do when people do the same thing to you?" It was a genuine question because as much as he agreed with Lumina's philosophy, he's had enough people flip the tables on him recently and it sucked. A lot.

"I'm thinking of something more portable in case something like that huge freeze happens again. ...hey, you found all of your birds after that, right?"

[chaoticwhimsy]

"Figure out how I can do it back, and get the upper hand again, of course." Conversations were a war, after all. A fun, silly war, but a war none-the-less.

"Portable is better, yeah. Although I have too many to keep them in the house this time." She had Lemina's magic fire bottles though.

She made a face at his second question. "Yeah, I did. They went all over the place though. A bunch of them made it all the way to the station!"

[zerotohiro]

"Figures." If that surprised him at all he still didn't really comment on it. Instead he continued on even despite what Lumina just told him. He had to see for himself no matter what was said.

"I didn't think they could move that fast. They don't look like they can actually fly." Hiro severely underestimated just how fast a chocobo could really book it if they needed to.

[chaoticwhimsy]

"Oh, they can't fly. Not once they're...mm...like that big," she held her hands out about two feet apart. "But they're fast."

"People used to race them, years ago. They were like blurs."

[zerotohiro]

While that's hard to believe, he'd spent some time observing the chocobos earlier in the day while he worked. As they enter the stables he made his rounds to start calculating in his head.

"Used to? Why'd they stop?" And then, as an afterthought--"Are they faster than horses?"

[chaoticwhimsy]

"They're better than horses in every way," she said with a smirk, and then shrugged.

"There weren't enough chocobos anymore for races. Or people. ...Or stadiums."

Races required a non-broken world.

[zerotohiro]

"I'll believe it when I see it." His opinion of horses wasn't very high, much less his opinion of chocobos. However, he paused then and an idea came to him. It was an idle thought, but it was worth sharing anyway.

"Why not breed these guys for racing then?"

[chaoticwhimsy]

"Well go find a horse and I'll show you." She smirked, rolling her eyes.

"I guess I am doing that? I mean, right now it's just...so they keep existing. But eventually when there are enough of them, they could race..."

[zerotohiro]

"I am not going to find a horse just to compare it to a chocobo. Do you know how weird horses are?" He frowned at the suggestion though.

"When you have enough of them, it could be a decent way to make money."

[chaoticwhimsy]

"Yeah. I never really liked them. Wouldn't want one at the ranch anyway."

She shrugged and grinned. "It's an idea! I think archer said something about that anyway. You cannot believe how excited he gets when you mention chocobos. It's...a little creepy, actually."

[zerotohiro]

He shook his head and turned, leading her back out of the stables. He had the measurements he needed. All he had to do now was make sure he had enough supplies and time on his hands.

"You can tell me about it later. I have a feeling I'm going to be here for at least another week and a half building the basics. You're still okay with me staying here a while?"

[chaoticwhimsy]

"Sure." She shrugged. "I'll tell the imps to make a bed for you." She paused. "You should probably check it for traps though."

[zerotohiro]

"I trust the imps about as far as I can throw them." He paused as well. "...which isn't that far, but you know. Thanks."

And with that it was back to work.
