"So, how's Chicky doing? :D Still enjoying those eggs?"
Cupcake: Oh, eh, yes, actually, we… we are enjoying the eggs. But as for the chicken that lays them, she’s ‘grounded’ for a few days… following, eh, an incident outside…
Bitter: …Which wouldn’t even have been a fuckin’ incident if you hadn’t fuckin’ panicked, ya big nerd… but ya can’t just stop there without tellin’ the whole story, so I guess I’ll explain to the nice people what happened, shall I?
Bitter: See, some neighbours of ours are havin’ a lil’ foundation put down, since they wanted to rebuild their log storage to keep the wood nice an’ dry. An’ Chicky just happened to be outside while this big ol’ square of wet cement is dryin’ - but I don’t think anythin’ of it.
… Or at least I don’t until I hear Sans yell somethin’ about “SHE’S MAKING ART!!!”, so I go outside an’… hold on, lemme pull up the picture…
…An’ I see THAT. Pap’s just crackin’ up, Sans is cheering, fuckin’ Edge was lookin’ like ‘how do I pick up this tiny fragile creature’, an’ honestly I just keep right on sippin’ my coffee. I mean, what the fuck do you even do in that situation? It’s like 8 in the mornin’ on the weekend and the fuckin’ chicken’s out there doin’ crimes…
Cupcake: *sighs* Well I didn’t think it was so funny, though admittedly I could have handled it better than… well… chasing after her yelling “NO!”, and ending up with a lovely pair of size 10 snow boots stuck in wet cement…
Wingdin had to pull me out with her strings so I didn’t drop poor Chicky right in it… but the young lady was none the worse for wear, thankfully! A warm foot-bath with some gentle soap, and she was right back to her usual routine, sitting on my chair and laying her daily egg while we apologized to the neighbours.
So, eh, all’s well that ends well, I suppose… ? Even if my snow boots will never be the same… Wingdin was not happy about that…
Bitter: Just another fuckin’ day in Paradise. An’ you can thank Dagwood for showin’ up an’ givin’ us photos of the whole thing - apparently he’s makin’ some kinda scrapbook, heh.
