[Once again it's Prompto, coming to you live from his watch! Only this time he's not in the kitchen surrounded by loud people, but in the stable! With a chocobo. Who is trying to groom him. Still better than the last video he sent out.]

So, the full moon's pretty early this month and last month I saw a lot of people asking for help with the whole "turnskin" thing. I can only help if you're, y'know, a dog, but I saw like three last month so...anyway, some quick pointers-slash-tips for suddenly finding yourself with a tail and a chocolate allergy.

[He misses chocolate.]

Which that's the first thing--it's not always the case, but like. Don't go nuts on the chocolate or the coffee or the onions or whatever until you know it won't make you sick? Maybe nothing'll change and you can eat everything you want! But don't risk it. Start small. Get meds from a pharmacist just in case.

[The chocobo "kwehs", like she's agreeing. Prompto reaches up to pet her beak.]

Also tails? They suck? But there's plenty of places that make pants for people with tails so love yourself, get pants with tail-slots or get used to skirts. Don't be me and be wearing regular pants when your tail comes in. It sucks, and then you can't sit down the entire day. What else...get used to shedding, your tail will out you so just accept never being able to hide your emotions ever, you'll get used to the smells and the sounds but maybe get a face mask and earplugs until then, there can be some weird changes you never think about until they happen trust me I've been there, congratulations on your silver allergy...oh! And packs!

Surprise! All of us turnskins are turning into pack people. Even the bears. Even if you don't like people normally, you're gonna be way happier with a person or two. You know how cats sometimes just have their human? Get a human. Or a vampire. Or a dragon. Or--you get it. This isn't just the bond stuff, this is "I feel like crap, why do I feel like crap, oh I spent an hour out shopping now I feel better" stuff. Get a pack. Love your pack. Just don't do the cat thing and bring live mice to your pack unless they like that sorta thing. Heck, there's enough of us canine turnskins that we could probably be pack, if people want that.

[And he's rambling! And he's starting to think this was a bad idea so he's gonna wrap this up now.]

So...yeah. Advice from a guy who's been here for nearly a year! Ta-da!

[that is the biggest chicken he's ever seen, and you can bet he's gonna come back to that. but first:]

...A dog? You're...that sort of turnskin?

[He might not be a turnskin but Sora's rabbit ears prove that he'll eventually have his own type of tail one day.]

Whoa...! Is that? A real chocobo? I've never seen a real one before!

[But he's going to focus on the more important thing right now. Sora's heard of chocobos! Has had things named after them! But has never seen a real one! Amazing!]

[ Felix is starting to prefer texting, if only because he doesn't have to look anyone in the eyes or listen to them speak. This was, uh, a hell of a lot to absorb. ]

Must you talk so much? It's grating on my ears. Since when do we get a tail?

[oh, he barks! that's...that's delightful news. wei wuxian laughs softly. he doesn't tense up at the thought of that at all.]

Uh...and what...what sort of thing might scare you? So I know.

Yeah! I've seen ships and weapons named after them and I've heard a few stories! But I didn't know they'd be that big and floofy.

[He kind of wants to put his whole face in those feathers.]

She's really cute! You're super lucky!

[Just look at that poof and fluff. Sora imagines she's incredibly soft too.]

What's it like keeping her? Do you race her too? Is she really fast?

[Sora chuckles.]

How does a bird that big escape out of anything?!

Hah! I'm just picturing her crashing through a bunch of fences now.

[What a tough girl!]

That's awesome!

[Gosh, chocobos are so cool.]

Can I ask one more question?

Ah! Hey-!

[Don't play him like that?! Sora's snickering, though.]

Okay, I heard one weird rumor that chocobos kind of smell... weird? Or bad. Is that true??

But, it's not terrible?

[He's heard they stink...]

But you make it sound like a bad thing.

[ why are you hurting his feelings, hello ]
