"CROAKER!?!" shouted Ramza, "Of all the names in the world you
named it Croaker?!"
"Well, I was going to name him 'Dementia' but while I was in town I learned that Croaker seem appropriate for a chocobo like him" Brandol explained. Bringing him to town wasn't a picnic. This was the young chocobo's first time among a lot of humans. He had grown a lot overnight like most young chocobos but he was still a runt. The size of his beak made up for that and poor Brandol learned it the hard way... ******************************************************
When they first entered the town square of Gariland Magic City Brandol noticed a Middle-age lady wearing a dress that was a bit too fancy for just any occasion. "She must be going to a wedding" he thought. Yet he wondered why wear a dress so big. It was true, the dress wasn't to big for the woman who was wearing it (For she wasn't much of a petite woman herself) , but it was too big for the square. Thanks to the idea of putting hoops under dress skirts (which was obviously used for this dress) the skirt was about two and a half feet in diameter. Croaker unfortunately noticed this.
"Hey Brandol," shouted Croaker loud enogh for everyone in the square to hear "Would you look at that lady! Is she wearing a dress or a tent? I wonder if she keeps her children in there! Just like that one lady in this ballet Joleen told me about! I doubt that though do you? She's much too fat!"
Brandol and Croaker were gone in a spilt second. Before the lady (Who might I add was Mrs. Isabella Barinicus, a well respected lady of her rank) could turn to see the one who made such a rude remark about her new designer dress.
It was lunchtime by then and Brandol was starving. Luckily for him there was a nearby pub. That way he could get a bite to eat and listen to the newest rumors that might help the troop.
Brandol got there and was wolfing down his meal. Meanwhile, Croaker was testing out his choco ball attack on a rather giant, thuggish looking character, the type who looked like someone you really wouldn't want to mess with. As the two magical balls hurled themselves towards him, the thug turned only to have the balls hurling at him face front, almost breaking his nose.
"Awl right", shouted the bloody nosed thug, "'hos the rascal who dared to launch an attack that cowardly on me!" Brandol instantly smelled trouble and crawled behind the bar, pulling Croaker along with him.
"HEY-!" Croaker shouted, but he was cut off because of Brandol who was holding Croaker's beak shut.
"Shut up you bloody fool!" Brandol hissed.
Croaker was ticked off now and wrestling from Brandol's grasp, he got up and shouted to the thug in a perfect imitation of Brandol's voice:
"Shut up you bloody fool!"
Before the thug could turn to see, Croaker got down from behind the bar and stuck his claw in Brandol's bottom, causing him to yelp and jump up landing on top of the bar. Now all the attention was drawn to him.
"Aye. so YOU'RE the little rascal eh?" the enraged thug growled...
"Whot's the matter with you? You sorry excuse for a cockatoo!" Brandol scolded. He managed to escape the thug with just a black eye and a bloody nose. Now he was outside on the steps of the town's cathedral, scolding Croaker.
"Hmmm. I bet you didn't have your daily dose of tea today eh, Brandi? Croaker teased. Brandol growled as he took Croaker by the blank identification collar (which was soon to have his name engraved upon it) and dragged Croaker to the soldier office...
****************************************************
"...So then I got there and named him Croaker..because.well.he's enough to make anyone want to croak." said Brandol, finishing his story.
Ramza just let out an exasperated sigh and plopped down to the nearest seat. Then a thought made him bolt upright from his chair and before he could say another word, Algus walked in. He was back from a task he had to do.
"Wow Ramza, I see you got yourselves a new chocobo. But there's one problem. It looks like you forgot the egg controlling duties." said Algus as he pointed out the window to where the barn was. Then he added, "You should.erm.see the havoc there cause out there."
He barely finished his last sentence when a chorus of "Warks!" and screams were heard from the other end of the long, narrow, corridor. ************************************************************** I know..I haven't updated lately.
