There is a large pink pig curled up by the fire, singing Eskimo Nell softly to himself.

And a parrot coming to rest on the mantel above him.

"There you are, Chao," she says. "Got that meaning of life for us yet?"

[pig_transcends]

Chao makes a show of looking around him. "Sorry, I left it in my other jacket. Except that I don't wear jackets. How are you, Mike?"

[winged_defender]

"I'm okay. Things're kinda quiet lately, at least here." She bends to start gnawing at the mantel. "Nita's got a thing coming up, though. Say hi or something if you see her."

[pig_transcends]

"Of course." Chao cocks his head. "Greetings are free. If she wants more, she'll have to pay for it -- unless you're paying on Nita's behalf?"

[do_not_falter]

There's a young Hylian man in green sitting nearby that's just staring at the singing pig.

Eh, he's met chicken-people. A singing pig isn't that weird.

"...you know there are children in the bar, right?"

[pig_transcends]

"If they start paying attention, I'll switch to Gilbert and Sullivan." The pig grins. "Hi there. You can call me Chao."

[do_not_falter]

He has no idea who those people are, but he's guessing it's less raunchy.

"I'm Link. Nice to meet you."

[pig_transcends]

"Pleased to meet you, Link." Chao sits back on his haunches. "I can sing some G & S for your benefit, if you like. I am the captain of the Pinafore and a right good captain too!"

[brokenjilly]

Jilly recognizes the tune. It's one Geordie likes to play, though he rarely sings the words. And it's understandable, because no one would give any money to a busker who sang something like that.

"Is that even anatomically possible?" she asks when she's in earshot.

[pig_transcends]

"With certain assistance. There are spells that could help, although using wizardry for body modification is always dangerous, and even more so if it's only for personal entertainment. How've you been, Jilly?"

[brokenjilly]

"Huh," Jilly says. "Sounds like far more work than it's worth."

She grins at him. "Things are good, if a little puzzling. I found this thing," she says, putting a package down in front of her. It's about a foot high, seven inches wide. "And I'm still trying to figure out what it is."

[pig_transcends]

Chao trots over to the package and peers at it. "Where did you find it?"

[ooc: If you want Chao's help identifying the package, ping me at ravenboy1976.]
