Option A:
Uh.
Don't panic: possible livestock emergency.

One of the locals told me she left a hen on my porch. Guess what? Porch, no chicken.
So, you know.

If seen, do not engage. Report all chicken- and chicken-related activity.

[ ooc: Network/action, feel free to sight this chicken around town if you like! ]



Option B:
I heard some of you booze hounds were sniffin' around, so lemme save ya the trouble. My name's Majima, and I run the bar. The rules are don't be an asshole.

Here's a map. There's pool and darts. Got some smokes, too, but you better give me a real good reason why I should part with those.

Was she expecting it to sit and stay like a dog?

[internal S I G H]

That explains the feather I found.

[justbeingknife]

She said she put it on a chicken leash. Whatever that is.

Okay, gimme the skinny on this feather. What color is it?

[girlmeetsflaws]

[ Her eyes widen when she sees this and she has to slap her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing. Something about the way she reads this amuses her greatly.]

livestock emergency?

is it a very scary chicken?

[justbeingknife]

Hey. This is serious flocking business, I'll have ya know.

Her name's Stella, and I'm sure that under normal circumstances, she's a decent, law-abiding chicken.

un: mollyringwald

[deadlight]

is it a pet? can it be quiet?
what house?

[ time to rouse a kid army to hunt this chicken down i guess. ]

[justbeingknife]

Said she was declucked. Don't ask me how they did it, though. Or where they're keepin' these chickens.

And I live near the shared housing. Ever see the sign that says 'Church in the Wild'? That's the spot.

[ferrokinetic]

[ there's a bar here?? ]

what's a girl gotta barter to get a stiff drink in this place?

aka I'm good with handwaving

[justbeingknife]

Usually just trade for drink ingredients and scavenged equipment. Tough makin' twists when ya only get one fruit a day.

But if you wanna help those kids move house to Dutch Hill, I'll take that, too.

un: v.ives

[possidetur]

That sounds like quite the emergency.

( no she's not certain it does. convince her )

[justbeingknife]

Well, could or couldn't be.

I don't think this chicken's gonna attack anyone, but you know the whole thing about sudden noises. And how animals make 'em sometimes.

un: johnpsmith

[criticality]

oh! what do you accept as trade at your bar?

[justbeingknife]

Food, bar equipment, anything fun.

[lilithsoul]

I will watch for a loose chicken, Majima. Let us hope it does not cluck loudly. We do not need sound eaters.

[justbeingknife]

Yeah -- that happens, we're all clucked.

[underachievement]

Got the booze, could go for the atmosphere [ now would be a good time to specify a drink minimum or loitering policy ]

[justbeingknife]

[ that was covered under the asshole rule

probably........ ]

Got a pretty nice one now that I stole some prints. Gonna set up karaoke once I get a minute.

un: thomas.

[eachother]

[ attached is a video of a chicken in the middle of a sand path some distance away, pecking at who knows what. after a few seconds, the lens zooms in slowly, and then back out before thomas turns his device around on himself. he simply furrows his brows for a moment, and then raises them questioningly before the video ends. ]

I think I may have found what you're looking for.

[justbeingknife]

[ The response was immediate: ]

Stella.

[ HEY STELLAAAAAAA ]

[isherarmor]

username: ladystark

Is it only spirits and ale and that sort of thing or is there coffee or tea or maybe wine? Or the fizzy drinks that come in little metal tins?

[Also do you have doritos there, this is important.]

[justbeingknife]

You're in luck. I had wine already, but I got tea and sodas and some other stuff in this month.

You want coffee, though, I'd check with this kid Akira who runs the clinic. Used to be a barista.

[ he did have doritos, he was a menace ]

un: nishizono

[nishizono]

that chicken's dead i bet
i'm gonna eat it

[justbeingknife]

Hey, don't talk like that.

Someone spotted her -- alive.

[ He's not giving up on this chicken!! ]

Option B/ un: 5by5

[rockypath]

What's your supply look like? We talking top shelf or bathtub moonshine?

[justbeingknife]

If ya want moonshine, you're gonna have to hunt it up yerself.

[ Attached was a picture of a wide variety of wines, beers, and spirits. ]

[ebonyengine]

Your chicken is missing?

Do you suspect fowl play was involved?

[justbeingknife]

[ eheheheheheh ]

Not sure, but when I found out, coulda knocked me over with a feather.

You seen her around? Medium size, orange feathers.

un: stray

[culver]

you lost a chicken?

[justbeingknife]

Yeah. You seen her? Orange feathers, medium-sized, answers to Stella?

UN: MadMax

[beyourzoomer]

Wait.

Wait.

Are you saying your chicken...flew the coop?

Re: UN: MadMax

[justbeingknife]

[ If Majima could laugh out loud without immediately dying, he would have. As it was: ]

(((*°▽°*)八(*°▽°*)))♪

Yeah. Could say she made a chicken run for it.

Goes for both

[thatsruff]

I will keep my nose to the ground. If I find its trail I will let you know.

What kind of dog is a booze hound?

[justbeingknife]

Thanks, Teddy.

And it's just a figure of speech. Means a person who likes alcohol.

You figure I oughta start offerin' translations?

un: supergirl

[iisupergirlii]

Hey, I keep meaning to ask you, and I know this is a long shot, but you don't happen to have any Aldebaran rum, do you?

[justbeingknife]

That what this is?

[ Attached was a picture of a bottle, assuming that the rum came in a bottle idk I don't watch Kara's canon

maybe it literally said Aldebaran rum on it but either way apparently you can get things from other people's worlds so ]

un: kiryuu

[bloodyrose]

. . . Never thought I'd be so eager to be able to play darts, of all things.

[ Or anything involving aim, really. ]

[justbeingknife]

You like darts? Hot damn, come on down!

un: touched

[waystation]

I knew you were the one who gave Eddie the liquor for the spiked lemonade.

[justbeingknife]

Why the hell would I do that?

b. Booze

How many?

[ Smokes that is. ]

[justbeingknife]

Some. Not enough to share with the class.

[ aka he had a lot but between him and kiryu-chan their days were numbered. ]

un: sunai

[stealyoursoul]

You lost a chicken? Clearly, it has already deemed you unworthy of being responsible enough to care for it.

[Also, he's now got something more interesting to think about than he did two minutes ago. If a chicken is lost, how does one find it again?]

[justbeingknife]

And I was puttin' it down to bad cluck.

un: witch

[hext]

[ wanda... deeply appreciates all the chicken puns on this entry. ]

would you say the poor bird was plucked out of thin air?

[justbeingknife]

Definitely. But with a little help from the others, we got her safely henned in.

[ There was an image attached, of an orangey-brown hen with a white tail and small red comb, wandering around the screened porch at Majima's house. ]

I'm gonna need some chicken wire.

un: klapbak

[clussy]

I still wanna try my hand at bar tending. I even got a spiffy outfit for it & everything

You should have gambling too. If we could find some cards and stuff anyway. It'd be fun.

(Honestly, Eddie.)

[justbeingknife]

Ha, you wanna try? I can show ya how to pour a beer.

[ Majima no..... ]

Yeah, that'd be pretty fun. Finally got to play a game of darts the other day.

un: nameless

[historyrabbit]

...What's wrong with the chicken?

[justbeingknife]

What? Nothin'. She just went missing, is all.
