[ It's evident on Pig's face--rather how he doesn't look up--that he's in his own world. Distant. A tongue darts out to lick dried lips and blue eyes focus on the screen--he's got a definite Irish accent, certainly from Cork, but the way he's dropping words and rearranging sentences is still a little jarring. ]

There we be. Pig and Runt. Warm like. Drinky drinky and I says "Happy Birthday, Runt!" And she? She smiles. [ There's a bit of a laugh but there's absolutely no humour in it. ]

But now where Pig, eh? Where Pig? No club, no fucking Runt. No Runt--No Runt.

Just.... Pig.

Where he be, yeah?

... Is that a trick question? [She means riddle.]

[freedrinkplease]

Nope. It's the truthy question.

[virginwings]

Oh - um! I don't know where's there a pig then...

[freedrinkplease]

Me Pig.

[virginwings]

That's a weird name! [smile] My name's Gazelle.

[freedrinkplease]

Hah. Gazelle be just as strange, foxy.

[virginwings]

You're wrong. It's not as strange! [Then again she doesn't know her name is that of an animal too.]

[freedrinkplease]

Pig and Gazelle--but you be in Africa-like, yeah?

[virginwings]

Be in Africa...? [Give her a second as that'll make sense a moment after she says it.]

No, I came from Japan. Where did you come from?

[freedrinkplease]

Ireland. Fuckin' Ireland. [ Pig's actually kind of amused at the girl--it's like she lives in her own world, which...well, Pig does, too. ]

[virginwings]

Oooh, I've never heard of it. Where is it?

sorry for late reply ;_;

[freedrinkplease]

Never hearda Ireland?! You gone, pal? Gone gone?

no worries

[virginwings]

[What, what? Blinking.]

... No? [No to both questions. The latter of which is confusing.]
