[Robert]

Anonymous adventurer "Deep Moat" (Windurst) retelling his account in animated fashion.

So, what was it you wanted to know about?
Aaah, the crazy-wazy happenings at the Pashhow Marshlands...

Talk is, the Vana'diel Chocobo Society (VCS) is involved all the way up to its tail feathers. While monstarus are definitely being let loose in these races, no one seemy-weems to know the reason behind it. Not even yours truly, I'm afraid.

What? You don't believe a word I say?
Even after you get an eyeful of this!?

Determined to authenticate his statement, Deep Moat presented me with an image taken on a high-tech foreign contraption known as a "soultrapper."

Working in journalism has conditioned me to approach all claims with skepticism, but nothing could have prepared me for what was to come. The above image of chocobos playing catch-up with a cactuar and a dhalmel among other creatures is undeniable, full-color proof of the rumor.

How do you like that, eh? That'll teach you to doubt me!
But this is merely the appetizer. The main course I've prepared will shocky-wock the unbeliever rightaru out of you! Now, I couldn't get very close to take the picture, so it's kind of small. But if you just squintaru your eyes like so...

By the Goddess! Is that what I think it is!?

Haha, I was saving the besty-west for lastaru. This snow-white chocobo beauty only occasionally participates in these races. But when it does, by the end of the race the other contestants are guaranteed to be encrusted in half-dried marsh mud.

Why's it white, you ask? Hehe, I saw that question coming from a miley-wile away!
Now, before I reveal the juicy details to you, I just wantaru to make it clear how hard it was to come by this info.

Now listen up. From what I know, this chocobo is—
Uwaaaaaaaaah!!!

And that's all we were able to learn before the interview was abruptly cut short when an unidentified individual warped Deep Moat to an undetermined location. We have thus far been unsuccessful in our attempts to regain contact with our informant.

What manner of conspiracy could possibly be transpiring behind closed doors at the VCS?
Was the secret Deep Moat failed to reveal so damning that he had to be silenced?
The truth is out there waiting to be uncovered...

[Lordwafik]

Deep moat awesome.

[Lyramion]

Deep Throat awesome.

[arus2001]

Hmm, maybe I'll race my gimp ass chocobo after the update? Nah.

[Melios]

More importantly, will they increase raised chocobo speed and/or lower whistle cost? As it stands, there's not much of an incentive to raising one for general riding......

[Psion]

Would be intriguing if they made it so you had to have all colors, breed them together to make a white one, and the white one if raised properly could run faster than even a rental chocobo.

Deep Moat <3

I want a pet Dhalmel to ride! ; ;

[Starr]

Paladin on a white chocobo, how cool will that look?

[Ashira]

Deep Throat awesome.

*fixed

For some reason this just seems like a HUGE whoosh to me... considering Deep Moat is a play on Deep Throat in the first place....?

[Lyramion]

Deep Throat awesome.

Wooshing myself since 2005.

Since in Germany everything is dubbed there was no way for me to know the X-Files informant guy was named "Deep Throat" before I wiki it now

[Tajin]

The cactuar pic is amazing.

[Frenzy]

Yeah, but somehow I think Deep Moat wasn't a play on the X File guy but rather a play on the guy the X Files guy was a play on too.

Want white Chocobo!!!

[Ashira]

Deep Throat awesome.
