G'day g'day, this is Sarissa Theron, local hero and devastatingly good looking rural.

( She seems in a better mood than last time she posted, and better form - and sure, she is, but it's also Sarissa trying very very ahrd to be Okay, and definitely not actually being Okay. Still, there's a healthy flush to her cheeks, and unlike last time she's got a smear of mud on her cheek and is looking like she's been working outside. Wherever she is, she's definitely in a field, and there's a shed nearby. )

I know, two posts from me, in one month? Overkill, definitely. But this is so important. Or, should I say,

( and she grins, brightly, before turning the camera... ) sow important?

( Yes, viewers. In-frame is a very large sow, pink with black patches. Around her are nine little piglets, varied from all pink to speckled to covered in patches, and one that is totally black. )

I just rescued these guys from a bit of a situation. Got them a special shed and I just finished the fences on the fields a couple days ago, so good timing, but I gotta head back into town to pick up some more supplies and that. If anyone has any fruit and veggies or pig feed or straw or - I mean, anything that you wanna donate to the rescue pig extravaganza, lemme know.

( A thumbs up; she is so excited. Pigs!!! ) And I need help coming up with names, because they can't all be Hamlet or Francis Bacon.

[Helpfully, Twice supplies a link to a random pig name generator.]

I don't know any pig names. Here are someone else's suggestions.

[She is also currently rummaging through some clothes hanging in a closet, with her communicator propped up on a shelf or something?]

( Sarissa, meanwhile, is sitting in the mud and patting Rosalind, the sow. )

Huh, I'll take a look. What're you up to, then? Dunno if clothes are much use to pigs, but thanks for the thought.

[disguarded]

[She inspects one particular shirt for a while, then moves on.]

The clothes are for me. I don't have anything that's useful for pigs, probably.

[magnitudes]

That's hurtful. Rosalind is hurt.

( She points to the sow, and gives the stranger a significant look. )

[You are tricksy and false! That pig is fine! Also, Twice just looks over and raises an eyebrow slightly before going back to what she was doing.]

I meant that literally. I don't have any of those things you asked for before.

[magnitudes]

But clearly you care about pigs, or you wouldn't have replied. So if you happen to stumble across anything helpful for pigs, will you let me know?

[disguarded]

[Cares about pigs. Answers random questions on the network when bored to pass the time. It's probably one of those!]

I don't even know what that is, other than food, which is everywhere in this world. You don't need my help to find that.

[magnitudes]

Don't need it, no, don't even really need anyone to help me out, but I figure people like to help when there's cute animals involved.

[disguarded]

[A pause, wherein Twice seems to have picked out an outfit she likes, because she carries it offscreen somewhere and only returns for her phone after almost a minute, a mildly curious expression on her face.]

So you asked for help as a favor to the people who decide to help you?

[That's not confusing at all.]

[magnitudes]

I asked because I wanted to show off my piglets, mostly.

[disguarded]

Oh.

[She's headed into what appears to be a very nice bathroom now and starting to run a bath for herself.]

Has that gone how you hoped then?
