Alright. For future reference, talking animals should be a topic addressed when dealing with new-comers. Less important one, yeah, but still worth an honorable mention, I think.

[ A shift here to a musing tone, but anyone who understands the concept of sarcasm is in for a treat. ]

Kidnapped by unseen, malevolent forces, trapped to live in a village in the middle of nowhere with no means of escape, vulnerable to torture, don't fuss with the wings, everything's free... Talking animals.

I just had a squirrel panhandle me for crisps.

Are there any other things I should be prepared to converse with? Are the appliances keeping tabs on what we're getting up to?

Panhandling, huh?

[there's definite laughter in her voice] Well, that's one I haven't heard yet.

The word or the scenario?

[ He's mellowed out a little more, and may be smiling, faintly. It was rather ridiculous. ]

The squirrels. They're getting bold. I thought the cats were pretty territorial about the village.

[ He clears his throat gently at that. ]

Well, all I can say is that it followed me along the roof of the store and asked me to get it a bag of crisps. I suppose it's either clever or it's arranged some sort of diplomatic immunity.

Did you do it?

...

Yes. Yes, I did.

...on the plus side, you don't have to worry about it breaking the bank.

[ Don't judge him. It was his first talking squirrel. He thought he was going mad. He's not quite sure he isn't, still. ]

It was also rather polite, for a squirrel, I think. Luckily, yeah, didn't have to dig deep into my pockets for that one. It's one of the only perks I've come to know about this place so far.

[no judging. Honestly, she thinks he's doing rather well]

Really? The only one? I admit, I really miss being in a city...but there are upsides.

[ Voice ]

[theblogger]

No, not the only one.

[ A small smile. ]

Where are you from?

Newford, New York. I've been told it's smallish, as far as cities go, but it's home.
