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.

Spring 2071: March, April, May.

[chaoticwhimsy]

The Chocobo Ranch is abuzz with new activity as Lumina and her workers recover from actually receiving twenty chocobos overnight. New buildings are being built to house birds, people and imps, and the Chaos Child herself can often be found flitting amongst the workers, trying to help but generally getting in the way.

Lumina will be taking trips to various places throughout the Drabworld, and will even be leading clusters of her chocobos against the swans in May.

Summer 2071: June, July, August

[chaoticwhimsy]

Things at the ranch have settled down to the pleasant buzz of busyness that comes with everything working as well as it should. Lumina will be absent for parts of June and July, off on a whale watching trip with the Outsider. (Though how absent a teleporter ever is might be hard to say...)

In August, Lumina and her chocobos can be found trying to keep the rampaging forest golems from the nearby woods from doing too much damage, and will mostly succeed.

Fall 2071: September, October, November

[chaoticwhimsy]

Repair work from the golem attacks will proceed through September, and the ranch is now absolutely abuzz with chocobos in various stages of life, from proud parents to gangling younglings to hatchlings, all flying around curious and excited about the world.

The prisoner escape has Lumina again out in the world with some of her chocobos, teach them to use their magic as they recapture the escaped cons.

In October, perhaps owing to the Black Shuck, all chocobos born will be black chocobos.

Winter 2071-72: December, January, February.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Lumina can be found all over the Drabworld, passing out gifts to friends. These may be everything from homemade trinkets to store bought actual gifts to the occasional baby chocobo!

The rebuild Caer Scima will add a bounce to the child's step, and she'll spend a large portion of January back in the city, picking a room for herself and just enjoying having so many people in one place again.

The largest chocobo hatching in the Drabworld Ever wil happen just before spring!

Spring 2072: March, April

[chaoticwhimsy]

The skeletons attacking her ranch are going to have Lumina in a foul mood, though anyone who comes to visit will find her in higher spirits as she teaches her birds to use skeleton heads like soccer balls.

The end of the timeskip will bring panic as three of her loyal imps disappear! She will be all over the Drabworld trying to find them and bring them home. The longer they're gone, the most frustrated and upset she may become!

Around the Start of the Third Week of April - Arrival

[raavashing]

Wan's travel south from the Station was one he'd taken before, during the second half of February, when he'd been escorting refugees from Caer Scima south to a village outside the Pool of Souls. It wasn't a completely familiar path - the snow was starting to melt and the land looked very different with the new spring growth - but it was one he could say he'd traveled before. During that trip he hadn't taken much time to explore outside the road. This time, he could do so at his leisure. He'd made no promises to anyone on being anywhere specific in the next few weeks, after all.

When he spotted the birds, he paused and stared for a bit, wondering if they were just particularly colorful ostrichhorses. Another moment and his feet left the road to wander to the fence that did little to actually hold the bird in and seemed to be more of general boundary marker than anything else. When he got to the fence, he jumped it so he could walk right up to the large bird and say hello.

It was only after he'd managed to charm it that he noticed the building and a few more birds gathered nearby. Out of curiosity, he headed over, looking for another human or at least a person that could talk. He'd take a talking giant bird just as easily as he would a fellow human.

"Hello?"

Lemina: March - It's coooooooold.

[chaoticwhimsy]

The mystical cold brought by the new King of Birds hadn't quite settled in yet, but it was cold enough that Lumina was in the stables when Lemina arrived, helping to put blankets on all the chocobos. Well, she was putting a blanket on Chaos, her personal chocobo, who still got far more attention from her than the other ones did.

She was bundled up in a heavy black coat and a bright pink hat, too. So that's funny.

Grell: Late March - Baby Chocobo!

[chaoticwhimsy]

Lumina had called Grell to make sure she knew where she was, and then wherever that was there was suddenly a swirl of chaotic energy sparkled with crystalline light, and then Lumina was there in a heavy black winter coat. She had a bundle something under her arms, and...was it squirming a little bit?

Also she had the biggest smile on her face. "Grell! Hey Grell!"

Late March: Alice - Chocobos!

[chaoticwhimsy]

It had been tricky hiding the chocobo chick from Alice while she was visiting, but Lumina had pulled it off, and now that it was finally a few weeks old, she had it wrapped up in a blanket and tucked under her arm, bright and early in the morning, as she knocked on Alice's door.

"Hey Alice, are you awake?"

[erythristic]

Luckily for them both, the call had arrived when Grell had already returned to Mair. There was work to be done, there always would be, but she saw no problem in reuniting with those that knew her at the same time. Lumina's arrival was sudden, but at this point, Grell thought she should have expected it.

"Lumina. It's wonderful to see you again."

The bundle gets a raised eyebrow, but perhaps she only imagined it moving.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Woah, cheerful Grell. Lumina could roll with it though, and she grinned as she practically bounced forward a step.

"Of course it is, I'm amazing," she said with a little giggle. "It feels like it's been ages. All done with whatever that adventure was?"

Yeah, that bundle definitely wiggled a bit just now. Lumina gave it a little hug to stop it.

[digophelia]

She'd only been awake for thirty minutes, but refused to move out of her bed just yet. It was cold and being that she was in a new place - regardless of being in the company of a friend - it had been a struggle to sleep in a new bed that wasn't her own after the incident with Reynard. Subconsciously, she was aware of how ridiculous it was, but Alice was wedged there in her blankets, curled up in a ball lost in some of her thoughts.

Usually, Alice lost in her thoughts was a bad thing, but not today. After hearing the knock, Alice decided ther wasn't really a point with sleeping in bed like that, so she slowly lumbers out, with an appropriate shawl around her shoulders. "I am," Alice called out before opening the door to Lumina.

"Good morning, Lumina."

[erythristic]

"All complete -- all the refugees made it to the Spire safe and sound." Aside from the ones that had...well, Lumina didn't need to know. "Though I'm still having to readjust my sleeping habits. Only vampires should sleep through the day."

She gave an overly dramatic sigh at that, and--yeah, that bundle was moving.

"...What exactly have you got there?"

[chaoticwhimsy]

"Hey, sometimes all the really fun stuff happens at night," she grinned, then looked down at the bundle she was holding. Her expression was a bit sly and yet completely innocent when she looked up.

"This? Oh it's noooothing..."

[chaoticwhimsy]

"Good morning!" Bright smiles and friendly faces all around, it seemed. Lumina was practically vibrating in place, really, but she was trying to refrain from shoving the little bundle at Alice.

"You sleep okay?"

[digophelia]

"A bit better than usually," She's been slowly trying to pull herself off of any dependency with sleeping aids and potions. Save from the usual nightmares and waking up at night, Alice was starting to sleep better on her own. Waking up in the night was normal.

Falling out of the bed was also normal.

Alice opens the door wider and steps to the side to allow her in, "I suppose I cannot complain."

[erythristic]

"If it's nothing, then surely you wouldn't mind showing it off, hm?"

Or is this some kind of game where she'll have to guess at what it is until Lumina took pity on her and revealed it? Though she looked a bit skeptical, she was still smiling.

[chaoticwhimsy]

"Weeell, I wouldn't say it's nothing nothing. It's something." She tilted her head to the side as if thinking about it, shifting the bundle again in her arms. Did it just make a little squeak?

"Oh I know." Big smile. "You have to guess!"

[chaoticwhimsy]

"Good! The beds are all new so they're kinda stiff," Lumina skipped into the room and spun around in the center, and apparently that was all the patience she had because she was suddenly thrusting the little bundle of blankets out towards Alice.

"Surprise!"

Inside appeared to be a squirm little bundle of green chocobo, about three weeks old and a bit bigger than a soccer ball.

[erythristic]

"It's only fair that way." She folds her arms and stares the bundle down. "Ordinarily I'd say it has to be alive, given its movements, but since this is the Drabwurld, that falls into doubt. It's not some imp that you've dressed up, is it?"

[chaoticwhimsy]

Lumina wrinkled her nose at the thought of the dead thing. "It's alive! Buuuuut it's not an imp."

She paused.

"I'm pretty sure they'd bite me if I wrapped them up like this." Her imps were pretty loyal, but not THAT loyal.

[erythristic]

"You never know, you could talk one into it. But alright, not an imp." She made a hmmmm sound and went back to guessing. "Is it an infant bandersnatch?"

Grell remembered when she had met Ariadne's -- not that size, but then it had been growing for a bit.

[chaoticwhimsy]

"Oh I could. If I had to. Buuuuut I didn't." Her grin got wider at the guess.

"That's closer. Still wrong though."

[erythristic]

Oh, this was going to be tricky.

"Closer, but still in the wrong...so it has to be an infant something."

That small, and it squeaked.

"Is it a kitten?"

[chaoticwhimsy]

The big blue bird wasn't hard to charm, after it had decided that Wan wasn't a threat at least, and she happily followed after him as he moved further into the ranch. There were more of them scattered about, and a few babies fluttering in the air, landing on their parents or on fences. It was a rainbow of big birds!

Lumina was perched on one of the fence gates, tossing feed to several little baby birds, and she looked up and grinned at the shouted greeting.

"Hey!" She was friendly, if perhaps a tad suspicious. "You need something?"
