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.)

[ Laugh it up, chuckles. ]

I'm more than willing to part with it.

You could cook it. Goat meat ain't bad.

Go ahead and try, kid. It'll be the last thing you ever do.

Not a bad idea.

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

Did that goat just threaten me? Really?

[makingastatement]

What, you gonna take it to heart? It's a dumb animal.

[ Which is apparently not what she wants to hear, as Sofonisba gives Al a good, hard butt in the leg. ]

Shit!

Maybe he'll cry about it.

[trenchknives]

Hey asshole, don't headbutt my friend.

[A pause.]

I can't believe I'm talkin' to a fuckin' goat.

[makingastatement]

You've really got a way with words, don't you?

[ And just out contempt, she's going to climb up on the desk to be eye-level with this punk. ]

The hell? You're making it worse.

Re: Video;

[trenchknives]

Okay, okay, Jesus fuckin' Christ, sorry.

[Eyeing that goat suspiciously.]

'cause you had it real under control before, right?

[Nope. He can't avoid being sarcastic.]

[makingastatement]

She didn't leave the floor.

[ Her eyeballs are right back on you, Jimmy. ]

See if you like being called dinner, you little shit.

Hey!

Re: Video;

[trenchknives]

I said I was fuckin' sorry, jeez.

[ After a long, hard stare, she jumps off the table giving a short kick into the air as she does so. ]

Nicely done, Princeton.

Re: Video;

[trenchknives]

[He rolls his eyes.]

You gotta call me that when Princeton doesn't even exist here?

[makingastatement]

Doesn't change anything. It's still standing somewhere.

Why, does it bother you or somethin'?

Re: Video;

[trenchknives]

Nah, it's just kinda silly.

Video;

[makingastatement]

[ Good, because it wouldn't have stopped him anyway. ]

Yeah well, silly fits right in in a fuckin' place like this. Consider yourself pegged.

Re: Video;

[trenchknives]

Yeah, I guess you 'n your goat do kinda make it sillier.

Video;

[makingastatement]

See if I invite you over for goat soup.

[ He's looking around with some discretion just to be sure she didn't hear that. ]

Re: Video;

[trenchknives]

Aw, c'mon, you can't eat that whole thing by yourself.

Video;

[makingastatement]

Maybe for personal satisfaction.

Re: Video;

[trenchknives]

Is it really buggin' you that much?

Video;

[makingastatement]

Now that it's got real food, it ain't as bad as it was.

Re: Video;

[trenchknives]

You're lettin' it eat your food, too? Pushover.

Video;

[makingastatement]

Fuck you. She's got her own stash.

[ Alright. He may have given it one shot. ]

She wouldn't eat eggs.

Re: Video;

[trenchknives]

What, she went to the grocery store 'n bought her own food?

Donation. Apparently some people have a soft spot for talking animals.
