Choosing a Choco

[Paruku]

The field was full of them. From left to right there were giant yellow birds grazing and warking around. It was a pleasant sight, but the smell of manure was strong. Sitting on the fence near a giant blue chocobo was a girl.

"Stupid chocobo. Too expensive to buy..."She said as she leaned in to get closer to the bird. "I wonder if the owner of this place is up for a game of blackjack."

The girl looked young, 14 at the least. Her hair was short with a small pigtail that poked off of the left side of her head. The girl looked as if she shouldn't be there getting ready to become a chocobo-mb knight. She looked like she should be getting ready to go into school or maybe going to a sleepover party with her friends.

[Judge Fiss]

Fisseha had come to monitor the newer members of the Chocobo-mb Knights. It was quite obvious,. clad in all his gear, that he was not quite an ordinary member. Judges were not often seen outside of battles (which they, of course, refereed and made sure there was no foul play). It was a mostly thankless job, but the rewards came in the form of young men and women signing up to join the ranks that he helped to moderate.

"Expensive, but very fast. This one especially has a very nice plume." He spoke, gesturing with a claw to the fan of feathers, sleek and deep blue.

"They are expensive, of course, for their abilities. No doubt you know that Blue Chocobos have the amazing ability to run on the water. I hear that there is a city by the name of Yulemaggo that utilizes Blue Chocobos for their fishing practices. Very handy."

It was almost strange, that one of his stature should be so strong, and so highly regarded. Fisseha stared through the second and third bars of the fence, he was probably only two-thirds of the girl's height, however his presence made him seem larger. This casual talk was perhaps viewed as un-ordinary, but Fisseha, or Judge Fiss, did not always follow the conventional solution.
