☄ [Video] :: Location - Alpha Trion's Quadrant: Farming Area

[In the background, one can hear the sound of Lea the rooster crowing. Ventus is just glad he's not trying to attack his feet. Besides, he's a little preoccupied with other things.]

Heh! Easy now!

[The boy laughs as fuzzy little chicks swarm about his feet. Nearby are the three hens he'd received from Christmas. Very carefully, Ventus tries to step around the peeping yellow and brown masses, and it's then that he looks towards his Link, noticing that it's on.

Blinking, he offers a sheepish smile.]

Ventus, what are those little things? [The last time he saw your pets you didn't had small ones.]

[Video forev' on his end~!]

[happyduckbutt]

Huh?

[After picking up his Link, he glances back at the little guys before turning it towards them so Blurr can see them better. Some of the chicks eagerly gravitate over.]

They're baby chickens!

ok

[raceme]

They're really cute. They look...squishy. [Cybertronians don't have many oft things, he's not even used to that sort of words.]

[happyduckbutt]

They are pretty cute. And yeah, I guess they're probably squishy. Fluffy, definitely.

[raceme]

Fluffy? They look really different than the adults.

[happyduckbutt]

They do, don't they! I guess it's the same with a lot of animals, and even people.

[raceme]

It is like _{that with all the organics} then? How you will look like as an adult? Your skin and hair color will change too?

[happyduckbutt]

A little, I think. I don't really know what Master Xehanort looked like when he was younger, but he doesn't have anymore hair, and even Master Eraqus is starting to get a little gray in his black hair.

[notyourblueangel]

You . . . seem to have your hands full.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Maybe just a little. It's not so bad though. I just don't want to step on anyone!

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

I see.

...what are they?

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

They're baby chickens!

[video]

[adamndoctor]

Huh! Didn't know we had chicken here.

Where'd you get them, kid?

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Oh, Saber found 'em for me around the Junk Pile. They were my Christmas present!

[Video]

[adamndoctor]

Christmas? Ya'll celebrate Christmas here? I can't imagine the robots have a Jesus-figure, though it is quite an interesting image.

[arched brow] Let alone remember corresponding dates.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

No, I don't think so. Only the people from earth seemed to figure it was for that reason, but a few months back, there were just things around the Junk Pile that had our names on them. Oh! And it even snowed a little!

[Video]

[adamndoctor]

Huh. Sounds like this place has some sort of cheerful holiday spirit. Explains the Valentine's thing, I suppose.

Well, wonder if July 4th or New Year's will drop a payload of liquor or whatever.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

What happens July 4th?

( video ) how did i miss this post kjsdlaksd adorable

[pendragon]

I'm so glad! It seems your flock has grown!

[ Oh dear, baby chicks.. ]

How have you been doing, Ventus? I assume you're been busier than usual. [ It's the same for Saber, which is why she hasn't been in contact with him as she once was. She'd like to talk to him about current events, but she'll wait for him to confirm he has the time to talk first. ]

[Video] :D :D

[happyduckbutt]

Yep, guess it has!

[He grins.]

I've been doing okay! Glad that these little guys have their moms to watch them all the time, otherwise they'd really be a handful!

How about you, Saber? Everything all right?

[pendragon]

Hm, yes. I've been assigned a few extra tasks I need to look in on a daily basis. [ Her eyes dart around a few times around the screen. ]

Are the hens laying.. eggs, Ventus? [ Surely they're not only laying eggs with chicks in them? Saber can't help but get a slightly eager look in her eyes as she asks. ]

[happyduckbutt]

Guess you've been keeping busy too.

Huh? Oh, yeah...if you couldn't tell.

[He glances at the little fuzzballs running over his shoes.]

Or they did, anyway. They're all hatched now!

[This isn't a problem, right? He made sure no one touched those eggs!]

[pendragon]

[ So he had all of the hens by the rooter. Saber breathes in if about to say explain a topic that's rather lengthy. ]

If you keep two hens separate from the rooster and the others, they will eventually start to lay eggs without chicks in them since the rooster is absent. These eggs can be eaten when cooked properly and are very nutritious. ..I recommend two hens so they can keep each other company. Also, two hens will provide quite a few eggs and quite often if they are looked after.

[ She narrows her eyes as she looks closely at the screen. ] When all of your eggs hatch and all of the chicks are mostly grown, I would consider keeping most of the hens separate from any roosters since you already have quite a large number. This way you can have more eggs made and then still have some chicks occasionally. [ A brief nod. ]

[happyduckbutt]

[Cue the blank staring.]

Uhh...

[He tries very hard to follow with what she's telling him, but he kind of misses the point. After all, isn't the reason for the eggs to get more chickens?]

...huh?

i almost died when i read this. just. orz! ahaha ventus.

[pendragon]

..Er.. [ The knight sighs softly. Why was something so simple so hard to explain? ]

Were you planning on raising endless chickens to simply eat the adults, then? [ She thinks about this. She didn't take Ventus for the type who would want to eat actual animals unless he was also raised with that sort of culture. ] If you eat the eggs without chicks in them, you aren't actually eating a chicken. Most farmers raise chickens to have these chickless eggs so they can be eaten. Of course, they may also breed chickens themselves so they can be eaten when older..

[ She tilted her head after a moment, unable to help but raise an eyebrow. ] Or were you just planning on raising an unlimited amount of chickens for.. some other reason..? ..[ A chicken army? ]
