Everyone. It's Joe.

I uh, think I've got a fair idea of what might've gone wrong. If y'see a scarecrow around from here on in, pull it apart and break the post it stands on.

That counts fer the one that was in me garden. M'sorry guys.

[[locked to Zachariah.]]

Don't tell anyone that you helped make the scarecrow for me, okay. I mean it lad. Y'tried to help me. S'not fair of this to backfire on you.

[From the vegetable patch outside of Joe's kitchen, one might hear a stream of angry curses accompanied by the cawing of crows and the occasional dull thud of a large blunt object. A closer inspection would find Joe himself brandishing a shovel and fighting off a swarm of birds from his garden. On a spit over a fire is a sharksheep, the proposed dinner for the Keep now being picked at by birds.

When the video feed kicks in, it's purely by accident, the cook's journal tossed to the side and left ignored by the otherwise distracted Irishman. For the most part what is seen is a shot of the sky with the odd crow or glimpse of Joe as he fights his epic battle. His words however, broadcast loud and clear and translate to text as he speaks.]


Fockin' flying rats! Get the fock outta my garden! Scram! That sharksheep ain't fer you! I don't have time fer this shite!

[He swings the shovel again and... misses his target.]

Stay still so I can hit ya, y'stupid fockin' bird!

[The sound of crows swarming is heard, and then Joe sighs and throws the shovel down.]

Fine. Eat the fockin' lot. It's not like that thing didn't take forever to catch.

[Footsteps, and then a rather defeated Joe appears.]

...Well shite, guess you lot heard that then. In case you were wonderin', we've got a bit of a crow problem. Little bastards're eatin' the place out. If this keeps up, we're gonna be outta veg in no time. Need to keep 'em outta this area at least.

[He pauses.]

Might be time to... Eh, nevermind.

[He cuts the feed and goes back to glaring angrily at the birds. Feel free to stumble in at any time!]

[He'd been there for hours, back torn open from the flogging received and body a mass of agony. Joe was aware that he wasn't the worst dealt that day, but it didn't mean his pain wasn't still on the extreme. He knew he should probably sleep, that the coming days would be busy, but for the moment, the man was content to stare blankly at the ground before him.

Guilt, was what he felt the most. For Sollux, and for Nel. The woman he wanted to scream at for being so foolish, for throwing her life away when he knew there was nothing she could do. Joe had witnessed and been part of enough trials to know that there was no passing the Headsman.]
