VIDEO 001

[ Have you ever wondered what the inside of a big pig's mouth looks like? No? Well, that's too bad because it suddenly comes on screen when it picks up a smartphone and starts leading it around a living room with disgruntled bleats. ]

Chuy! Chuy, no! Give that back! [ A woman's voice grows closer in a panic, and soon enough it's easily wrenched from the pig's mouth to show a very concerned young woman looking into the screen. ] Oh, I am... so sorry, everyone. [ Her laugh is composed, but clearly embarrassed. ] That was my pig. Chuy. He's very... inquisitive.

[ Her big brown eyes slant down for a moment to give her friend a look before returning to the screen. ]

So, I'll just let everyone get back to their day, and turn this... off... [ Her face turns pinched around the eyes and mouth when she begins fumbling for an off button. ] Uhh... Chuy, how do you turn this—

[ Dutifully and with a huffy bleat, he grabs it again with his teeth and the screen goes blank. ]

[Manolo stands up from the couch, lifting a hand and inwardly debating on whether he ought to get involved. Thankfully, Maria manages to wrestle the device away from Chuy, which is probably just as well. He's not sure how kindly he would have taken to someone other than Maria prying something out of his mouth, and he likes his fingers where they are.]

...It's okay? He didn't break it?

No. Unless pig drool dissolves phones... [ Wouldn't that be a very inconvenient super power. With a bit of a suffering sigh, she uses her skirt to rub down her smart phone. ]

[matadorable]

Oh! Here, how is this? [He pulls a plain, white handkerchief from his pocket and extends it to her.]

...Maybe if we asked the government nicely, they'd give Chuy a communicator of his own.

[A pig that eats phones? Well, this can only ask for bad jokes.

Or in this case, just a misunderstanding.]

I can see why you named him "Chewy," zura!

[Komasan, no.]

[Video]

[damselunimpressed]

[ The... creature? pulls a chuckle out of her. ]

Yes, it's rather on point isn't it? He likes to get into everything...

[Video]

[monge]

Monge~ Well... I hope he isn't in any trouble for it, I think he's cute, zuraa~

[And you can't be cute if you're grounded. ...Or something like that.]

[glitterateur]

--you have a pig! [This is so exciting. Someone else! With a pet pig! She's not alone.] His name's Chuy?! That's so cute!

[damselunimpressed]

[ Your eyes are so big and sparkly, little girl. ]

My friend named him. [ She tilts her head a little, considering. ] Are you Mabel?

[glitterateur]

That's me! Mabel Pines, fellow pig aficionado.

[ichoosefight]

Holy cow, who knew pigs could be cute?

[damselunimpressed]

I'm glad I could turn at least one person. I wish I had a picture of him when he was small... There was no way to resist those eyes.

[ At least not for Maria. ]

[deadtective]

Was there some kind of 'free pig' line to go with the welcome packet that I missed? Because there are way too many fucking pigs around here to be normal.

[Hazel you haven't even met everyone who kept a pig from that swear-in. just because Mabel has like thirteen million doesn't mean you get to pretend like everyone does.]

[damselunimpressed]

[ Ohh dear texting. This is going to take Maria awhile, bear with her and her typos. ]

I coudln't say
Mine cam e w ith me form Mexico
We are prety pig full there

[driftsintobuffetline]

[Give him a few days, he'll be back to normal and very very eager to meet her. Until then, excuse this dork.]

Maybe you should get him a phone or camera of his own, since he clearly wants to be the star. One of those GoPros he could wear on his head. Start a website with a live Chuy-Vision stream.

[ Oh. Oh okay, boy, that sure is a lot of words and a lot of them she doesn't understand. Maria probably looks a little dumbstruck, but she'll find her words. ]

I... may need you to write that suggestion down for me.

[ So she can analyze it and get a dictionary out mmhmm. ]

[huntergames]

... does it live in the house?

[damselunimpressed]

Of course. [ Why wouldn't he? ] Chuy's a very clean pig. Aren't you, Chuy?

[ There's an affirmative bleat from off screen. ]

[heliophilic]

On the off chance your pig's not around the next time you want to turn it off, the button's on your right side, near your thumb.

[There's a joke about how he would have named the pig "crispy," but he somehow has enough tact to realize that probably wouldn't go over well, and keeps it to himself.]

Chuy seems like he's gotten a handle on the modern technology already.

[damselunimpressed]

[ Yeah, don't. She would come find you and beat you up, son. ]

This one—?

[ And suddenly the feed ends. After a moment it comes back with an embarrassed looking Maria. ]

I am sorry... I didn't think... it would turn off that easy.

[khajidont]

Looks like your pig's figured out your phone before you did!

[He's teasing, really!]

He's cute, though.

video

[damselunimpressed]

He's always been ahead of the curve. [ She tilts the phone down to get another shot of her pal. ] Say thank you, Chuy.

[ Well, it's sort of a thank you when he sniffs and snorts against the phone leaving a wet spot. ]

Close enough...

[ Hyunsoo certainly didn't have any desire to see what the inside of a pig's mouth looks like, and yet... ]

Do people really keep pigs as pets around here?

video;

[damselunimpressed]

Seems a popular trend in this place! [ She smiles. ] They are very smart companions.

[medalsome]

[Guess who's up in his room because haha nope, still kinda awkward around Maria and Manolo when they're together. Doesn't want to get drawn into love triangle shit again, nopenopenope.

Instead he just sends down a message:]

Maybe you should get him some chew toys at the pet store. I'm sure they'd have something he'd like.

[damselunimpressed]

You think?
