[When the feed starts, there is a gentle bleating and a rather harried looking Hibiki on the screen. Around her head, an agitated hummingbird zips around. Now, what could this possibly be about?]

U-umm... On the way to the hospital, I saw a lot of sheep eating away at the plants, and I thought I could feed them a little treat. To thank them for clearing the way. But...

[Her head dips and she moves the screen, giving a great view of a small flock of sheep that are happily following her.]

Th-they won't stop following me! What should I do? I don't think I can take them to the hospital with me...

[Action]

[Around the city, you may encounter Hibiki and her hummingbird buddy doing one of two things!

A. Dashing from one end of the street to the other, followed closely by the sheep, or

B. Sitting down for a break from all that running around, still surrounded by said sheep who are now nudging her affectionately. The little guys sure are attached to her for some reason!]

B! [action]

[All Aika can see as she walks by is a huge bundle of fluff on legs. It takes her a moment to notice Hibiki in the middle of the flock.]

Aww, looks like you've made some friends!

Re: B! [action]

[A sheep lays its head affectionately on top of Hibiki's.]

A-Aika-saaaan...

[Help. Please.]

[alphastorming]

[Aika finds herself making a noise resembling a squee, without realising it. This whole scene is just too darn cute.]

[She wades into the flock, sets herself down next to Hibiki with her legs crossed, starts petting the nearest sheep.]

This is so cool! Do you think they'll stick around?

Have you tried taking them to the more grassy areas? Maybe they'd like to continue feeding on a more comfortable field.

[saving_sound]

A more comfortable field...?

S-so like, the park?

Video

[queenoftheforlornheart]

Perhaps, or maybe take them to the more affected areas? They seem to believe you are their herder... Which is common from what I saw back home.

You could possibly try getting someone who would like the job to treat them nicely enough for them to follow the other instead.

action; A!

[unimpressive]

[So seeing Hibiki running around the city? Not something he sees every day, but not so strange. Seeing her running around the city, followed by a flock of sheep?

...Well, that's strange.] Wh-whoa, hey, Hibiki?!

[saving_sound]

Vyse-saaaaaaan!

[You now have one (1) small girl clinging to your shirt and also a bunch of sheep quickly surrounding you.]

Th-they... They won't... They won't stop following me!

[unimpressive]

H-hey, Hibiki... [Oh boy.

Vyse trails off, his eyes widening when he sees all those sheep beginning to surround them, and holds on to Hibiki. What in the name of the six moons?!]

Where'd they come from?! When did they start following you?

[peachbutt]

Hehe, I guess they really like you! [Though as cute as the scene is, it does seem like it could be problematic...]

video

[saving_sound]

I didn't think they would keep following if I just gave them a little food...

video

[peachbutt]

I guess they think you'll take care of them after getting food from you.

[Action] B

[burntviolet]

[ Well, that's one weird scene, if not a little amusing. Hanako approaches, with Nashi tailing along. ]

Hello Hibiki-san. Is everything alright?

[saving_sound]

No matter where I go, they keep coming...

[If she weren't sitting on some steps, she would be totally buried by sheep. With a small, tired sigh, she gives a nearby sheep a pat on the head.]

They're fluffy and nice, but... I can't go places like this.

[burntviolet]

Are they bothering you? I might try to help...

[ Maybe if she brought some of them to herself, Hibiki would be able to move a little more freely. As long as Nashi doesn't scare them away... the dog is eyeing at them intensely. ]

videooo

[whitelighting]

Maybe you've got something they want? [ Like another treat? She's guessing ]

videoooo

[saving_sound]

B-but I already fed them all the snacks I had...

[ action ; B ]

[noblejustice]

[After wrestling with the plant life himself, he finds Hibiki surrounded by sheep and comes over to her with a concerned expression. Was she intending to keep these sheep as pets?]

Hibiki, I doubt these sheep can be good pets for the apartment if those are your intentions. Would they even be allowed into the apartment? You should consider trying to keep them as pets before taking them in.

[saving_sound]

I-I don't think they would be allowed in anywhere.

[She's started petting one now, but doesn't exactly look that happy about it.]

They just keep following me no matter where I go... I kept trying to leave them, but they won't let me.

action, A

[circuses]

[ Regina, a thankfully lone goat beside her, watches as Hibiki runs back and forth unsuccessfully trying to ward the sheep off. She giggles and approaches. ]

You'll never get anywhere like that! Just stay calm and speak loudly, but not in a mean way. [ Yeah, she's advocating teaching the sheep to 'sit'. That'll work. ]

[saving_sound]

S-speak loudly?

[Her voice is shaking after all that running around. It's going to take her a second to recover.]

B-but what should I say...?

B! ( action )

[sloths]

[ Houtarou's been doing is level best to keep out of the way of all the farm animals, but the challenge that hasn't proven itself anything but difficult indoors... Hopefully she won't notice him staring at her flock.

Little bo peep? ]

[saving_sound]

[She notices, but doesn't seem to mind. She'll even give him a slightly tearful wave.]

H-hello...

[takebow]

.......

Wow, I wouldn't have imagined that something like this woulda happened to you, Hibiki-chan.

[saving_sound]

Yukari-san!

...To be honest, I didn't expect it either...
