[video/action, troia.]
Jun. 30th, 2011 12:28 pm[Excenmille's been reading up all about the situation Gaia faces on mooglenet, and from reading unfiltered posts here there and everywhere has been able to establish a loose knowledge of the myrrh trees, Lufene, Garland, and the spell. And as such, the kid has his target. And the arrogance to actually think he can find and defeat him. So. The post certainly has purpose, as misguided as it is.
...Also, it is accompanied by a background noise of a chocobo chick chirping contentedly. He is busy preparing a meal for it, mashing some unfortunate worms and carrots together into a thick, disgusting looking paste. It's a misconception chocobos are herbivores. Meat helps build strong bones. If anything, it's to be trained in San d'Orian fashion. No, to be molded. Into something strong, and very aggressive. Something that can be used in battle. Shame the poor thing is quite sweet natured and oblivious to this fact. To Excenmille, this little thing is not a pet. It's something that will become a formidable weapon with all care, all patience, and a hell of a lot of work.]
Etoile, if you wouldn't mind waiting five minutes--
...
[Oh, it's recording. He resumes grinding the paste.]
This goes out to any that seek to oppose the sorcerer Garland. As the head of House Aurchiat, a long-standing great house of warriors, I entreat you to make yourselves known to me and to accept me into your ranks to fight beside you. The valour of my ancestors, and the honour of my house upon any world requires that I not remain idle in this matter.
[Cue a happy kweh, and the chocobo chick clambering into his lap and dunking it's head into the bowl of paste -- almost getting crushed while doing so.]
Etoile--!

Date: 2011-06-30 07:30 pm (UTC)Why wouldn't they? ...So sorry, Raine. That sentiment just... isn't true. And he's looking at you like you have four heads.]
They would dislike the thought of me standing by as a coward would all the more.

Date: 2011-07-01 06:15 pm (UTC)[Raine still disapproves. Immensely. Although she's mildly distracted by Slai begging her to hurry up. The reason being shows up as she talks and walks across the orchard to the lake on the property. Perfect little fishing hole, which is just what the child is gearing up for.]
It's not right for a child to be anything but a child.

Date: 2011-06-30 09:11 pm (UTC)...Aye. I plan to concentrate on it's strength and endurance. With work, it will eventually grow into a chocobo half the quality of those from where I am from.

Date: 2011-06-30 07:17 pm (UTC)What battle skills do you possess?

Date: 2011-06-30 09:49 pm (UTC)Military expertise was not what I meant, though...it might see use. Some efforts against Garland are much less organized. Do you know any magicks along with your strength at arms?
[Video]
Date: 2011-06-30 10:06 pm (UTC)No. I am a warrior.
[Video]
Date: 2011-06-30 11:38 pm (UTC)[Realizing that it's only fair to trade information....]
I am a dragoon, though I possess some white magick. Perhaps our paths will cross soon, since I seek Garland as well.
[Video]
Date: 2011-07-01 12:26 am (UTC)[His father was a dragoon. As was his unit. Little does the kid realize it, but he's currently sidelining that occupation. Call it a throwback from his father, some genetic aptitude that's emerged upon this world without him realizing it. Maybe it's growing up and has absolutely nothing to do with his father's genes. Still.]
A noble profession.
[Video]
Date: 2011-07-01 01:03 am (UTC)Indeed. I hope to be worthy of such expectations. As it is, the world is not bereft of challenges.
[Video]
Date: 2011-07-02 09:46 pm (UTC)Then I hope to fight shoulder-to-shoulder with you against this accursed sorcerer.
[Video]
Date: 2011-06-30 07:19 pm (UTC)You're definitely enthusiastic. It's nice to have help when it comes to Garland, but...are you certain?
[Video]
Date: 2011-06-30 09:18 pm (UTC)Aye.
[Video]
Date: 2011-06-30 09:51 pm (UTC)He's a threat to us all. I...can't blame anyone for wanting to defend their new home.
[Something in his gaze reminds her of Relm, and she has the suspicion that he would try to fight, anyway. Still, it's ultimately up to Regent Cid.]
[Video]
Date: 2011-06-30 10:10 pm (UTC)And there is the matter of taking revenge for being sent here. I have to do this.
[Major revenge.]
[Video]
Date: 2011-06-30 11:34 pm (UTC)...revenge?
[Video]
Date: 2011-07-01 12:17 am (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2011-07-01 12:51 am (UTC)...I'm sorry. I shouldn't pry.
[Video]
Date: 2011-07-02 09:45 pm (UTC)No, there is naught more. Taking me from my world is the most grave of insult. Especially when it still needs me.

Date: 2011-06-30 09:48 pm (UTC)Hello, Excenmille. Who is your new companion?
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-30 10:16 pm (UTC)Her name is Etoile. I am hoping to raise her to be a suitable steed. This world's airships...
[Headscratch. They're not very well liked, and he's got a few ways of describing his dislike, but none are suitable for a ladies ears.]
... Are unsuitable.
How do you fare?
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-30 11:32 pm (UTC)That will take a while, but I'm sure you can manage. And I'm well! It's Cecil's birthday today, so I had to arrive for the festivities.
[Action]
Date: 2011-07-01 12:22 am (UTC)[If anything, all he's got is time at the moment. He's been marking locations where Rahal hasn't been sighted, and where he's got people promising to keep their eyes open. There's other locations, but he certainly won't be able to walk there. Etoile has her use in that regard.
...In time.]
...My father used to own a great stables were many were reared, bred and sold. It is simple work. It merely requires commitment and planning. That is all.
[Cecil, isn't that...]
The king?
[Action]
Date: 2011-07-01 12:52 am (UTC)That's right. I received a message from...what was her name, Lilisette? It seems she's planning something for him.
[Action]
Date: 2011-07-02 09:44 pm (UTC)Then I shan't keep you. May I escort you to the castle?
[Action]
Date: 2011-07-02 10:06 pm (UTC)Of course you may! I'd like that very much.

Date: 2011-07-01 10:29 pm (UTC)Chocobos are much more partial to Gysahl Greens, in my experience.
[Not that he intends to criticise -- perhaps the boy is experienced in chocobo care and knows what he's doing. More importantly...]
How are you doing, Excenmille? Any sign of your friend yet?
[action]
Date: 2011-07-02 09:49 pm (UTC)Hah. Any stablehand would disagree. Greens build receptivity and prevent and cure illness and injury. If anything, this bird is going to be trained for strength and endurance. Nothing less. As such, a diet of worms and carrots is most strictly--
[Headraise. ...And have some honesty!]
...They actually let you out of the castle?
[action]
Date: 2011-07-02 09:59 pm (UTC)Does a king need permission to visit his people? I cannot care for them effectively if I shut myself in the castle all day.
[Action]
Date: 2011-07-02 06:42 pm (UTC)If I may, what is it that you do?
[Action]
Date: 2011-07-02 09:51 pm (UTC)...Merely grinding food for this chick. She cannot eat solids so well yet.
[Action]
Date: 2011-07-02 10:01 pm (UTC)[Here Reis pauses, uncertain if she should broach the delicate subject of the bird's ultimate fate.]
Shall you keep her as a mount?
