[coming from her bedroom, astonished Jolly...

Where did you---[small yell, a chicken fluttering by her head Oh--!!

[eyes the goat...holds out her hand for the thing to drop one of her scarves] Hand it over, knave.

[jollygoodform]

He doesn't mean anything by it! He's just hungry...

Er....the barn? Clever bit of pirating, really..

[crete_goddess]

Oh, Jolly...[fights with the goat, yanking her scarf back]

When will these animals vacate our apartment, pray tell? Away with you. [shoos a few chickens away]

[jollygoodform]

Soon! Lyra'll hopefully come by, and we'll take them to the cottage in the woods. But they needed a place to stay until the chicken coop was built. But look! They eat cat food!

[the_headologist]

They'll do.

That blue will be lively.

[ooc: Her tongue might catch fire if she said thank you.]

[jollygoodform]

Oh, bloody good....

...Er, blue? Is that like an animal?

[the_headologist]

The hen, boy!

[jollygoodform]

...oh!! Which one? The one that tried to make a daring escape out of the apartment, or the one that fought Electra for control of the countertop this morning?

[written_rancor]

...Sounds like you have a farm in there.

[jollygoodform]

Yeah, it's a bit of a-...

...Mr. Crane!?

[written_rancor]

[killerdimples]

Chickens?

[jollygoodform]

...Maybe...

[killerdimples]

They're maybe chickens?

[jollygoodform]

They may or may not be..?

Okay, they are. If you want to be specific about it.

[jollygoodform]

They needed a home, Arion! They were homeless chickens!

[jollygoodform]

The chicken coop's not built yet!
