[ 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. ]

What if they seriously hurt someone!
retraced: (we can't do nothing)

[He hesitates.]

I could stop them.

[He's not letting anyone get hurt by these things. He'll use Raven if he absolutely has to, consequences be damned.]
debtor: (... ★ just do it)

[He hopes Gilbert could! Death by rabid mutant sheep would be gruesome.

And sorry sheep, but people take precedence over livestock.]


Do you need help keeping things under control? You're not going to keep them in the botanical gardens, are you?

[He's pretty sure that's what Break was about to say before he was cut off.]
retraced: (is it really so strange)

Only for now. Someone has offered us farmland to keep them on.

[Which they probably should have asked for before they brought them all back to the city, but Gilbert was too busy trying to keep them all from running off to think about that at the time.]

You're not...talented at herding sheep, are you?
debtor: (WHAT ★ da fuq)

Um...

Well, I've never done it before.

But I could try?
retraced: (when problems arise)

This probably isn't the best way to learn...!

[Are you really this shounen, Allen.]
debtor: (WIDE ★ backin' the hell outta there)

[personal profile] debtor 2013-08-20 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[yes]

There's no time to take classes! I'll be there!

[To the botanical gardens, AWAYYYYY]
retraced: (oh... part one)

[BECAUSE THIS WON'T BE A DISASTER OR ANYTHING. See you there, Allen.]
