birdy business
JoliePrintemps (Beautiful Springtime) was born today at 9:45 PM. It’s a girl! To celebrate her birth I headed next door to the chocobo racing circuit and blew 10k on losing tickets. Every time I bet on a race, one of my birds places first but the other places somewhere in the middle (meaning I get nothing). I swear the game can smell desire.
Miah and I discovered that while we can’t use the chocobo racing circuit to get a quick teleport from city to city, we can meet there even if we’re separated by the Bastore Sea, which is pretty cool. She tried her hand at a few bets and lost, too. But it was fun.
JoliePrintemps made friends with a chocobo chick named Melody and even found a little lost chick on her first day! I’m struggling to hunt down the bird’s owner. All I know is that it’s a girl–either a mithra or a tarutaru with a name that starts with “P”. We should find her in a couple of days. Maybe there’s a nice reward. Until then, Jolie will be training her musical ear in the stables, listening to classical music as per my instructions. I foresee a very discerning bird. She’ll probably be yellow, but that’s not so bad. Vintage.
In other news, SE has announced a release date for the Wings of the Goddess expansion and with it, a new job (dancer). IrmaVep of ffxiclopedia.com forums had this to say:

I’ll keep you posted.
Took my old chocobo FierJoyeuse out digging, and she sucked just like she sucks at everything. :(
