Hi, this is Joshua.

After we did one of the quests, Estelle and I found a crate full of live chickens in our house. We figured that a steady supply of eggs is probably going to be more useful in the long run than a few meals' worth of meat, so we're working on getting them settled in here.

[ Also, let's be real, eating them just seemed too mean after the chocobos decided these were clearly their tiny adopted offspring. ]

I'm not sure what the yield is going to look like yet, so we haven't figured out how much we'll have to share, or if they're even going to taste like anything yet. But in the meantime, while I think we've figured out how to get the yard fenced in well enough to prevent any escape artists, if you happen to see any of them wandering loose, we'd appreciate it if you could bring them back or let us know so we can collect them.

They seem to like it so far. I think we can keep things comfortable for them.

[passio]

Are they allowed to come in the house?

[ spot goes wherever he damn well pleases, but the chickens... muffin and pancakes and eggs benedict and all their friends... dextera wants to hold one, indoors. a pet to call his own. ]

[whereabout]

I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be allowed to.

[ They're already living with two gigantic birds wandering around at will, what's a handful of little ones on top of that? ]

[passio]

Then I want to have one. Is that all right?

[ an adoption... this time he’s not going to eat it like he was definitely going to crack into the lobster. he just wants to hold this. ]

[whereabout]

Sure.

[ How can he deny this. It's too pure. ]

[ thanks dad!! he’s always wanted a puppy!!!! ]

What do chickens eat? They aren’t carnivorous, are they?

[whereabout]

They'll eat bugs, but aside from that, no. Grains and seeds, vegetables, that kind of thing.

[passio]

[ you just stopped him from giving his chicken a taste for blood and didn’t even know it, joshua ]

I see. I think we’ve got plenty of all those things, so the chickens should be happy.

Thank you, Joshua. You know a lot.

[ DEX......... ]

One of Estelle's best friends from when she was young lived on a farm, so she (and then also me) got drafted into helping out a lot.

[passio]

A farm... that's really impressive. Wasn't it hard work?

[whereabout]

It was, but hard work's not so bad when a lot of people are all working together.

[passio]

You make it sound like it was fun. I'm almost jealous.

[whereabout]

It was fun. I was ready to hate it, but everything grew on me. Everyone, too.

[ He had been fully prepared to hate everything about Rolent, and...none of that had happened. ]

[passio]

It seems like things in this town are becoming that way, too. There are the chickens... and we have a lot of nice gardens as well.

It's not that bad here.

[ they should be trying to go home, but hey!! it's free real estate!! ]

[whereabout]

Yeah, we could be in much worse places.

[ For example: half his life before this, and...probably like all of Dex's life before this from what he can tell?? ]
