Piglet's 38th Adventure

[verysmallpig]

I-I've been meaning to ask... [He fidgets a bit.] W-well, that is... I have Noticed that there is this Ticking sound.

[And now that the subject is out there, he grows more determined that people should Know that this is something that should be addressed.]

And I've been Thinking... that maybe we should Find it so as to make it stop. T-ticking, that is...

[He blinks suddenly, thinking that maybe some people might Like the ticking.]

U-unless m-maybe w-we could ask it to tick Someplace else?

[Hopefully, someone braver will volunteer.]

[Its like she hasn't noticed a pig on the Network before.]

Little pig, little pig.

Does the tick-tick-tick bother you?

[verysmallpig]

W-well, I would just rather it not. Every now and then, I think it must go elsewhere b-but it always comes back, you see. It r-rather likes being at my home, even though I ask for it to leave.

[synanthrope]

Its a clock.

[verysmallpig]

Is it?

[synanthrope]

You shouldn't stop clocks.

[verysmallpig]

O-oh dear... [He hadn't thought of that.]

W-well, I don't really Need a clock... w-would you like to have it?

[skintoskin]

Hey, are you that pig? That Derek knew?

[verysmallpig]

W-well, I'm a pig that A Derek knew... do you m-mean Derek Morgan? I don't really know of any others...

[skintoskin]

Derek Morgan, yeah. He was... building something for you, I think it was. He doesn't seem to be here anymore.

Are you really a pig?

[verysmallpig]

Oh yes, I come from a very Long line of pigs. [The little pig is very Proud of this fact.]

[verysmallpig]

A-and no. Derek left... I don't really know where he went, but I did send him some cookies.

[skintoskin]

So... I'm talking to a... little pig...

Did you ever build a house out of straw?

And... Derek probably went home. That happens around here.

[harrydresden]

Well if it's a bomb you want it to keep ticking and never ever ever stop. But if it's not, maybe earplugs? Do ticking things talk?

((ooc: I didn't see if you were ok with 4th wall breakage because holy crap Harry's childhood, for now his screen is messed up enough he can't tell who you are.))

[verysmallpig]

Oh, w-well yes. Th-that's Very true. [Because certainly if someone who is speaking of such things sounds Knowledgeable in it, it must be so.]

I um... do you think it could be one of those ticking Boms? A-and would plugging one's ears help it not see or p-pounce on one? [Piglet is of course imagining it to be a very fierce sort of 'ticking' animal.]

And by 'one'... I mean one such as Me.

[ooc: TOTALLY okay with breaking the 4th wall for Piglet~. And omg Harry Dresden. =3]

[harrydresden]

Pounce? Bombs don't pounce they- [and that picture of the little pig flicks up making him squint as the screen goes to snow again.] Uh...

[Excuse him while he taps on the device and it flickers and makes weird noises.]

They explode. Not to be rude but... are you a pig?

[verysmallpig]

D-do they like to explode on pigs? B-because if so, then No, I'm not.

[harrydresden]

They don't think. Or feel they just... you know... count down and the -kablooey- and anything nearby gets hurt.

Look, I'm not trying to scare you, maybe it's just a clock or a toy.

[verysmallpig]

[Too late.]

Oh dear oh d-d-d-dear dear! [He freezes, eyes getting a bit big.] I-I th-think it's Here now! W-what do I do?

[harrydresden]

[Crap. Poor little guy.]

Maybe you should get out for now and have someone like the police come check it out.
