Of Birds and Barns
Who:Anyone, Everyone
Where: Fourth District, unoccupied lot
When: 20th-22th January
Summary: Trying to find room for two Chocobos was a puzzle enough; now, with four more on the way, it's in everyone's best interests to get a place together to house them all.
Warnings: Not recommended for those with bird allergies.
Ramza was forced to draw upon a few favors- and no small portion of his stipend- in doing so, but- one way or another- he couldn't simply leave the birds without a roof over their head.
Eventually, and after a bit of generosity from Saeng Seong's administration, he was able to have set aside a vacant, verdant lot in the fourth district for use as a pasture... or, at least, he was assured of its green; in January, it was harder to discern beneath all the gathered snow. The Chocobos seemed comfortable there, at least, the season's weather notwithstanding. It wasn't huge, but... then again, there wasn't a huge herd that called for acres and acres.
The more pressing matter, however, was a lack of housing for the birds. And while there were materials plenty enough for such a task- from tools to planks and old corrugated metal, some purchased, some donated, others 'reclaimed' from the past month's more violent happenings, and some of it even sitting in sorted stacks on the sidelines- Ramza had to acknowledge that, for all the Chocobo stables he'd passed through in his homeland, the process of actually building them was well outside of his skills and knowledge.
Thankfully, a few kind souls throughout the city were willing to offer their help in any number of ways... or at least to come and see the big, strange riding-birds for themselves.
((OOC: Apologies for the delay! Feel free to start your own threads, and don't think you need to focus entirely construction either; get involved, mingle, and play out however you wish... and feel free to use Ramza's two chocobos to lend yourseves a hand. Thanks again, everyone!))

"...Less those who've grown fond of a rider's touch," he added with a laugh as Persephone proceeded to spoil his point with content placidity beneath Freya's hand. His musings quickly returned to the chicks.
"I saw it only fair to draw lots for their owners... You've met Cupid, I'm sure; as kind and hospitable as one could ask in a foster parent... Kanji's a bit more for showing his bristles, but he keeps a generous heart beneath it all. Gold professes to be a 'Master Hatcher'-- I cannot speak of such things, myself, but he's a beastmaster like any other at a glance. The last, Piper, I fear I only spoke to in passing... but she shows promise enough."
"So many souls seemed enamored by the thought... I only wish I had eggs enough for the lot."

"I'm certain they'll move past the lost opportunity soon enough," she said to reassure him. "They can always come here if they wish to interact with the chocobos, either way."
