Yup, you read that right. This is my HMD! A.k.a., it's a secret ninja message post. So, whoo, post all secret messages for ninjas here!

...if, um, the ninja is Yuffie Kisaragi. Y'know, me. Right. Okay!

NIGHT

THE BIRDS AND THE

[There's a pause, pentip frozen on the paper under the frantic scrawl while Materia pulls her sudden panicked thoughts into something coherent.]

Are the chocobos okay!?

I kinda can't believe it, but I was looking at some old stuff in the apartment and...

I've been here almost a year now.

Wow.

Hey, Mighty Birdwhisperer! I know you're the grand master of tulip-fu and all that farming junk, but how much do you seriously know about chocobos? I mean besides getting them to stop mobbing somebody.

[Pentaps.]

Okay, not that all the crazy war-zone stuff isn't a problem, and I'm not too happy about looking like a rainbow soldier factory threw up on me either, but...

Has anybody else noticed that there are holes in the world down in the Scrapyard?

I mean like serious holes, or portals or something. In the air, or sometimes the trash heaps. They're all made of creepy white light inside, like the Wilderness on a bad day, and I tried throwing something through one and it didn't come out the other side. I swear, this isn't normal and it's freaking me out.

Okay, um, I guess being totally dressed up in bright blue is better than my clothes falling off all the time. Yay, Tree? :|

Anyway, I finally tried out that claw machine at the bar and this really weird frowny doll came out.



But the weird part is, I think it's this guy I saw in my cocoon dreams. So I was wondering, did anybody else get stuff that looked familiar outta there? Because that's pretty freaky, if you ask me.

What the heck is wrong with my clothes? This is the stupidest thing ever.

Is anybody else having [pause - how does she describe this?] major ripping problems?

CH

[The page rips at the corner, suddenly, and darkens with something's drool. It rips again a second later, as if it had been yanked back out of the drooling party's mouth.]

CHOCOBOS WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE!

What's wrong with these things? Geez!
