[ Baaa Baa-aa-aaaaaa Baaaaaaaaaaa! ]

I say, hello, hel-looooo! I have a question for you all--

[ The grime-smeared face of Xerxes Break appears onscreen. His white hair is discolored with dust and stuck together. There's a semicircular wound under his right cheekbone, and the shoulder of his jacket looks chewed. Despite all of this, he seems terribly pleased with himself. ]

Does anyone here have qualifications in animal husbandry?

[ More angry bleating and a yelp! Break turns. Visible in the background is another (also dirty and disheveled) man, desperately fending off a sheep. It’s not going at all according to plan; with a single headbutt he’s out of the camera’s line of sight, followed by a thud and worrisome tinkling noises. ]

Why, Gilbert. I think she likes you! ♥

[ Moving right along... ]

Anyway - yes. I'm looking specifically for people with experience or interest in shepherding, as well as shearing, spinning, knitting, cheese-making--

[ Another CRASH! and a voice yelling, “Break, look out!" ]

--and hand-to-hand combat! Kindly respond to this post, or apply in person to the botanical gar--

[ Break’s face suddenly disappears. The last image visible onscreen is… this. ]

[The audio is cut off suddenly. brb.]

[oh my god]

Shearing aside, do- do you need a first-aid kit? Hello?
retraced: (uggggh)

[A minute later:]

No, we don't need a first aid kit. Why did I agree to this...
overclocking: (yes dear)

... If you were talked into caring for an evil sheep, I'm afraid you've been taken advantage of, sir.
retraced: (when the pretense starts to fall)

I'm not caring for them! I just brought them back here!

[He just wanted wool why is this happening.]
overclocking: (that's terrible. you're terrible.)

Doesn't the latter imply to former? What else were you going to do once you got them here?
retraced: (drives on desolation)

Break was supposed to take care of that part!

[But he's gone off to bathe and left his useless subordinate here with a room full of feral sheep and bruises on his everything.]
