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.

Re: Or ask in Discord since it's more of a 'what if'

"Sounds like a plan," Walter agrees.

"And I'll poke about on that Network post again in the meantime."

Assuming they were even paying attention to it.

"Honestly, I doubt this wouldn't have made the news, help or no help."

Nodding to show his understanding, Benjiro crosses his arms at his chest.

“If cameras show up, I’m out,” he jests with an uneasy smile at the thought of being involved in the highly probable report in any fashion. He is glad he came, but he has no intention of being included.

He quiets for a moment as he looks out into the gathering starting to study faces once more, “...do you think other people got the call that we don’t know about? Ones that may be silent observers like me?”

"If it comes to that, I'll cover for you," Walter adds - though really, if it does, he'll want to make haste leaving as well.

Glancing out at the crowd without turning his head, he can't help but agree.

"It's likely, for sure. Can't expect everyone to already know people from the Network, after all."

Keeping cover until they can't.

It is one thing for him to sit in front of a webcam when he can prepare the content and choose when to start or end. Being recorded without a plan to be seen by local people rather than people that share his interests is far different.

“I hope they’re talking to each other...” he comments wistfully. He would be a wreck by now if he had not been able to reach out to Walter and others.

This might be a good note to end the thread on.

Walter gives a soft smile.

"I hope so too, Ben."
