Woolly Magic

[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!]

Or a -- crook, yeah, that's what it's called. Haven't you ever seen one of them?

[saving_sound]

Er... only in books.

Do they help that much with sheep?

[Like... magic or something???]

[takebow]

.. Well, I've never used one either. But I think you just kind of put them around the sheep and pull and then they go away.

[saving_sound]

I-it almost sounds like a magical tool...

[The things you learn about when you are surrounded by sheep!]

Umm... Do you know where we can get one?

[takebow]

Good question... Maybe a store for, um... agriculture?

[saving_sound]

An agriculture store... [Sounds believable to her.]

I don't know of any agriculture stores. Maybe if we can just find one?

[takebow]

Um.


...Yeah, um, sure, let's try that?

[Yukari is only slightly less clueless here, to be honest.]

[saving_sound]

[She is completely confident in Yukari!!]

Okay! I wonder where we should start looking...

[She begins to move, the sheep following along contentedly.]

[takebow]

.....

Um, anywhere, I guess.

[She's beginning to suspect the problem is not in the mechanics, but in the person. But... Anyway...]

I dunno, what kind of store sells, like, yard equipment? Ever seen one? Maybe in Sigyn.

[saving_sound]

Ah-- If it were in a district, it would probably be this one, huh?

[Growth and all.]

I don't know of any off of the top of my head, though... Hmm.

[takebow]

.... Oookay.

Well, maybe we should just go inside. They can't go upstairs.

[saving_sound]

...Um.

They... sort of do...

[takebow]

...



Okay, let's just punch 'em.

[saving_sound]

E-eeeeeeeh?! We can't do that!

[takebow]

Sure we can... It's what we'd have to do if they were humans instead of sheep.

[saving_sound]

B-but... that would be mean...

[takebow]

What's mean is people who won't leave you alone. Or sheep.

[saving_sound]

Still, I don't think... I don't want to hurt them...

[takebow]

No pain, no gain, right...? That's what they say.

...Besides, this is getting seriously tiring.

[saving_sound]

I-I don't think that's how it's meant...

...If it's that bad, I can try to find another way to get rid of them by myself? [JUST DON'T HURT THE POOR SHEEP YUKARI-SAN SOB.]

[takebow]

That's what you've been doing this whole time, isn't it?
