[Those aimlessly wandering the corridors should be careful today. At least in this particular corridor, not too far away from the chocobo stables. Since Even isn't exactly checking where he's going especially well, and running. 

Though he stops quite abruptly once he rounds the corner to look at what he has in his hands, a flailing, bright yellow chicobo.


He looks....
Quite honestly he looks like he's about to try to eat the poor thing.]

[Might wanna look up, Even. There's a fully grown Chocobo in front of you, looking very unhappy at the baby chocobo being so far from the stables..]

[foxbutt]

[With a portion of his mind saying chocobo=thing to hunt and enough vampire blood in his system that he could actually take on a grown one even though the animal portion of his brain says he really shouldn't; he's about as deterred as he was from actually taking the chick from the stables.
Instead of giving the chick back or fleeing, he's got his ears back, teeth bared and stance dropped lower, more like a four legged creature ready to go for the throat.]

Harm one feather on his head and I will make you regret it..

[...That voice came from the young and very much pregnant Namine walking up behind the Chocobo.

Tread carefully, Even. She can go Mama bear on you. And is also quite skilled at dropping people into memory loss comas.]

[foxbutt]

[Human interaction actually pulls him out of these feral spells quite quickly. It's just animals that look and smell like things the animal portion of him would naturally hunt that he can't safely interact with.]

wha?

[Now he just looks confused. He sure as hell doesn't remember doing any of this, and he usually doesn't get snap out of it until he's halfway into caching the meat.]

[mendedcrayon]

[Percy the grown Chocobo warks loudly and puffs up his feathers to try to look more threatening now that Namine's here. he's extra protective of her lately for obvious reasons.

She just places a hand on his side to try to calm him, her eyes still on Even, and that Chocobo chick.]

I'm rather fond of the chocobo's in the stables. And would prefer that the chicks stay with their parents as well...

[That's your chance to stay on her good side...Mostly. Her trust will be harder to regain.]

[foxbutt]

[Trust? This man should most definitely not be trusted with anything ever. Children and animals being the options most likely to end really, really badly, but women are also pretty high on the list.
He's going to put the chick down on the floor since now he's not running on instinct he's very, very aware that an animal small enough for him to hold is in a hell of a lot of danger in his hands.]

That doesn't mean much of anything during these episodes.

[mendedcrayon]

[She generally tries to give most people a chance, but doesn't give a lot of second ones

Percy the Chocobo nudges the chick into flying onto the top of his head where it will be safe, before moving back to Namine's side.

She frowns at that.]

Episode? What do you mean?

[foxbutt]

Sometimes I get these... Blackouts, is probably the best word for them.

I lose a few hours, and when I come to, I have fur or feathers in my teeth and dirt all over my hands.

[He's going to get out a cigarette, just to chew on though.]

[mendedcrayon]

[She will leave, or make him leave, very quickly if he decides to light it up though. Since, you know. Smoking? Pregnant? Not good? Yeah.

She just frowns at that.]

You don't know what brings it on?

[foxbutt]

[That would be exactly why he isn't lighting up. His pride as a doctor is pretty much the only thing he really has left about himself that he actually cares about.
The chewing doesn't really help stress cravings but he's calmer with it, than he'd be without.]

Not really. I know some things that make it more likely, but nothing especially concrete.

[This is only partially true, he knows one or two things almost guaranteed to trigger it though he still doesn't necessarily know why it happens.
And one of these triggers he certainly isn't about to explain to someone not already 'in the loop.']

...Well this is late ;;

[mendedcrayon]

[..Hm.]

Can't you avoid the things that make it more likely then?

eh, it's cool

[foxbutt]

I've managed years at times, but most are everyday sort of things I have to deal with eventually no matter what I end up doing.
