Don't pet them, grab them! [Mingle]

Date: 25th of July
Characters: Open!


I.

In the afternoon on the 25th, a network message alerts the Numbered to the fact that the petting zoo in Moss Manor's Menagerie is facing a major break-out: Someone has torn down the fences, and all the bunnies, sheep, and all the other animals typically found in petting zoos have decided to book it. They are now swarming the manor's grounds.

Due to the staff being nowhere near enough to catch them all, and due to the generally low threat level of the animals that escaped, visitors are asked to help catch them instead of being sent away.

And anyone who just happens to show up and help will be happily welcomed and included in the fort, without any question of who told them that help is needed.


II.

Afterwards, Lady Margaret Camilla Brassant invites everyone onto her patio and offers refreshments - tea, water, little sandwiches, cake and scones with clotted cream and jam. She retires quickly herself, but not before giving a brief speech thanking everyone who helped save the gardens from hungry mouths.

"Hmm. I could toss some and there'd be a rush into the carrier if they believed that's where the food went, and weren't afraid of getting trapped. Animals don't always figure that out as quickly as we do," he adds. "Or at all sometimes. I had a cat once who could never understand that if you threw his favorite toy into a box it was inside the box, no matter how often we showed him."

Good old Boots. "Do you want to try? You'd have to feed them a little bit first, so they knew you had something."

Since Sky is not presently distributing treats the chickens are doing more scratching, preening, and lounging, but they're still on the lookout for more free food.

"I can." She looks a bit unsure. "Do you have some that I can use?"

She's been told off for feeding birds before - don't feed the seagulls, don't feed the swans, don't feed the ducks - so she isn't sure if this is really allowed, but if the one adult in attendance says that it is okay it should be safe and at least not super unhealthy for those birds...
