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.

Sure enough, the staffperson's got more requests for help if they're willing. Whoever came through breaking fences and opening gates did a lot of damage in this area, but they know what's supposed to live where, and they're trying to direct everything back to their homes.

"They're not all as... as willful as her, are they?"

Russell figures, he's here now, might as well help with the rest. If most are more chill and complacent, they could split up and get things settled even faster. But teamwork's best with the rest.

Russell's lucky it was just the petting zoo effected; if the bears or wolves had gotten loose, there'd have been a lot more panic.

"No, no. Some of the guinea pigs can get about as fast, though! Or so I hear," the staffperson amends.

The tiny fluffy creatures are not his domain; Walter merely raises an eyebrow.

"Most of the animals we had a priority on are... settled."

Aka most likely to hurt others or themselves.

A lot more panic, true, but mostly for people in this area. If the mysterious microwave voice had mentioned bears or wolves loose, he wouldn't be near this place.

He might've called people in the area to confirm it, and help call animal rescue groups, though.

"So it's just gathering stragglers now... I'm already here, and happy to help. Keep helping," he correctly with a glance at Walter. "Might as well, right?"

Walter nods, and the staffperson looks relieved.

"This whole thing might get us a few new hires... assuming it isn't one of our own that gets fired for causing it."
