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.

I'd name a piglet after you, babe.

[oddbod]

I don't know how I got so lucky.

[doubleblind]

We got kidnapped.

[oddbod]

I can't believe the Russians hooked us up.

[magnitudes]

Gross as, this is a post about piglets not your sappy bullshit.

[oddbod]

Excuse you, we're adorable.

[magnitudes]

Sorry, just lost my lunch, you were saying?

[helpline]

She does this all the time. If it's not Cosima, then it's flirting with Jane Austen and not shutting up about the flirting with Jane Austen.

[magnitudes]

Hang on, hold up. ( e__e ) When was she flirting with Jane Austen?

[helpline]

When we met Jane Austen, of course. Clara and I have told you about the time travel bit, right?

[magnitudes]

Well, no duh. I just wondered if I needed to get all faux-indignant on Tiger's behalf.

[helpline]

You have a tiger?

[ the Doctor is 100% unaware that Tiger is a nickname and not an actual tiger. ]

[magnitudes]

Related to one.

[helpline]

[ awesome ]

Mind if I pay said tiger a visit sometimes? I've got housecat down pat, but I think my tiger dialect's far too rusty.

[oddbod]

That's her nickname for Cosima. She's asking if Cosima needs to be jealous. Which, for the record, she doesn't.

[oddbod]

You walked in on us one time, it wasn't the bloody end of the world.

[helpline]

I didn't want to see the two of you like that in the first place! You were practically eating her tongue!

[oddbod]

Oh, like you never kissed anyone before! You just wanted to get back to 2918 to see that rock star with two heads, and me snogging Jane was inconvenient.

not here;

[magnitudes]

( she's making popcorn )

[helpline]

It was a historic tour. Llewov and the Space Cadets only had one interplanetary tour and you making big doe eyes at Jane almost made us miss it!

[oddbod]

You have a time machine! You could have literally gone at any time!

[helpline]

And likewise, you could have literally snogged Jane at any time!

[doubleblind]

It can be about both.

[magnitudes]

But I'm being a jerk, Tiger. Kinda ruins the vibe if I start being all accepting.

[doubleblind]

The one thing they did right.

Man, what is up with all these critics?
