WHO: Dreadful Women's Adventure Club
WHERE: Churchill Downs Riding School and Stables
WHEN: Backdated to July 9th
WHAT: July's DWAC adventure is chocobo riding! Please sign up here to join the club if you haven't already!
WARNINGS: I apologize in advance if some of these horse riding terms are wrong ahaha.

[Those bingo cards sure have gotten everyone in a tizzy! Minako has to admit that it's a surprisingly nice game, though, despite where it'd come from, and decides to move the DWAC date up by two weeks to help anyone who needs the 'chocobo race' tile filled-- including herself, of course.

Saddle up, ladies, it's time to ride.]


STABLES

[Time to pick your partner! The stable have a variety of docile sunshine yellow chocobos used for beginner riding lessons. Well, they're supposed to be docile. The stables can't help you if the one you pick decides that you're looking at it funny and starts pecking at you. Or tries bucking you off while you get into the saddle. Or just decides to be ornery in general.

Good luck?

The stable has two prized black chocobos too, the proud parents of a little baby chick that likes to somehow squeeze out of her pen and wander around the barn. Maybe you can help the stablemaster herd her back to her parents. And don't you dare think of stealing her.]


MANEGE

[The area outside the stables is wide and spacious, but not quite used to accommodating groups of riders larger than five or six. The ladies might have to take turns going out with their chocobos. But don't worry, Minako arranged for a picnic lunch to be delivered, full of 'cowgirl' foods like pulled pork sandwiches, cornbread, chili, twice baked potatoes, and peach cobbler for dessert. The little black chocobo chick is wandering around too, so anyone waiting won't stay bored.

The trainers will be out with the riders, guiding them through basic gaits and even some obstacle jumps once they get the actual stop and go part down. Did your chocobo stop being ornery? Probably not, huh. Don't be too startled when your chocobo jumps at the sight of a random but h u g e bug in the grass, and be careful of not digging too hard into your chocobo's sides, too. They don't like that very much.

Once the trainers have deemed everyone one knowledgeable enough to continue on their own, they move to a different area to keep watch over the group. Now you can ride however you'd like! Which means it's the perfect time to take care of that bingo tile, of course. Who will throw down the gauntlet first?]

[Freya shifts to straddle the bird properly, digging her hands into his neck feathers.] Right, then. Whenever you're ready.

[Her bird, oblivious, seemed to be trying to show off his new rock to Elda's chocobo.]</small.

[ Elda's bird is also curious about this rock! That's sure an interesting rock. Let's try pecking at it...

As for the woman on the back though, she nods and tries to coax it into position. ]


Once around, or we just going to next hurtle?

[There's an offended squawk, and a counter peck. ...which is not terribly successful with a rock in his mouth.]

Next hurdle, mmm? These two don't seem too interested.

[Seriously, guys, it was a rock. It's not even a pretty rock.]
matchbreaker: (Our names won't be remembered)

They should probably drop the rock first.

[ BUT YOU CAN SHARE THE ROCK... ]
belligerentwarrior: (What a sweetheart)

[Freya steers her bird closer.] You mind grabbin' that? I can't reach it from back here.

[BUT MOM, he found it first!]

It best not bite me.

[ Huff huff.

But okay, let's reeeach. She's a short woman, but she is closer, particularly as she urges the bird she's on to trot ahead a little. ]
