I can accept a lot from this place: people coming and going, weird urges, at least weird to most of us, or some jokers trying to imitate the dead to catch us off-guard--

[ There's...bleating off screen, followed by a female voice. ]

Don't act like you know what you're talking about. You're just as new as me.

--but being paired up with a farm animal? Even a talking one...that just ain't responsible.

[ The goat's eyes twinkle as she raises her head into the camera, chewing on a pair of socks pleasantly. There appears to be something of a scuffle for the limited camera space before the video feed finally switches off. ]

(Notes: Al's got the dæmon curse this weekend. Journal or action responses are all welcome! Anyone that runs into Sofonisba (Yes, I named her. Ahem.) at the bar or on the streets will find out pretty quickly that she is very curious and, much like her human counterpart, is not afraid to go after what she wants. This can be anything from headbutting into you if you're in her way to going after your food and/or pants.)

She'll be gone by midnight, sadly. This curse is a rare one.

You had it before?

[charring]

No, sir. I have not. I've seen it before. And it's how things run, here. Most of the time. It's done by midnight or at least relatively soon.

Midnight can't come soon enough-- I'm running out of laundry.

[ The goat pops back into frame and appears to smile. ]

He's exaggerating, my dear.

Hello! [An enthusiastic wave to the goat.] I have a ton of vegetables and some oats I usually bring to my horse. He's been fed already today and I go grocery shopping tomorrow for more. Would either of you like me to bring those over?

[To save the laundry.]

Ah ha! She's a sweetheart, you see! Hello!

[ Her voice lowers as if speaking confidentially, but it's not quite low enough. ]

You could use some more vegetables in your diet anyway.

...That'd be great. I'll pay you for 'em.

Re: video:

[charring]

You don't have to do that. It's my good deed for the day.

[She just has a mighty need to be extra nice to people, considering the horrors the network posted for her yesterday.]

Where should I bring them?

Nah, I insist. You're doing me a huge favor. Unit 8, number 424.

Come and visit a while! We have plenty of drinks!
