Who: Whitey the White Boar of England (and Richard) & You!
Where: around Aldrip
What: Whitey takes on Aldrip! So technically a catch-all log for July
Warnings: None at the moment!
I - The City
[Whitey is a noble boar! He doesn't need to sniff around the ground for scraps of the food nor sleep outdoors in the woods. While he might be rather smaller size when compared to other wild boars he is well-fed and his coat is fine condition. He's clearly being cared for. But despite of his noble standing and pampered lifestyle doesn't mean that he's lost the touch with the world outside of the grand halls of the castles. Nah, in fact he still preferred to trot the paths of forest, sniffing the ground for fallen acorns or other hidden treats, rolling around in the bed of leaves and going for a brief swim in the lake.
Unfortunately, however, his current surroundings in Aldrip did not really provide him with such opportunities. Back at home Whitey had been able to navigate around the streets of London, but even those seemed to be different in city of Aldrip.
Well, nonetheless! Immediately after his sudden arrival to this world the boar had made sure to familiarize himself with his new home, no matter how temporary or permanent it might be. He mostly trots the dark alleys, swiftly escaping the sight of any curious on-lookers. However, those with keen eyes (or otherwise who're just very perceptive of the surroundings!) might notice a quick flash of white fur disappearing behind corners of buildings, slip past small crooks and holes in the streets and so on.
However... There are still moments when Whitey overestimates his own abilities and he finds himself from a pickle or two!]
Meep!! [His highpitched cries can be heard as he either finds himself getting stuck on a hole in a fence that tried to get through. Or when he tries to cross a road and is nearly tramped by busy people on the sidewalk, making him trip and fall on his side. Or maybe he gets in trouble with the local stray population, being chased by dogs and alley cats. After all. He is nothing but a coward. Well, either way. Poor thing. Help him out.]
II - Farm & Outskirts
[Whitey is a noble boar. He doesn't need to--- yeah, you get the picture.
Ok, the heart of the city had proven to be more trouble than what the little boar had thought. But luckily there seems to be an actual farm not too far from the city! What blessing.
Whitey enjoys his time at the outskirts and around the farm. He openly frolics around the field, rolls in the flower beds, snifs and pokes the ground with his snout while looking for hidden treats, takes a nap in the sun. Heck, he might even feel courageous enough to wander to the woods, though never too far into it.. You know! Your very usual boar behavior.
Anyway, he still is very timid so if anyone tries to approach him, be they human or animal. Though, how well he succeeds in that is another thing.]
III - Richard
[Whitey can also been spotted outside of his solo adventures around the town. During those times he can be seen accompanying a rather short and thin looking young man in dark, who's normally carrying a sword or another similar kind of weapon and looking hella moody and sulky. But that's the Duke of Gloucester for you! Sometimes he might stop and reprimand the pig, tell him not to stop in middle of sidewalk or get lost or eat garbage off the ground. To which, Whitey only lets out a defensive grunt. Because excuse you, mister! He's not the one needing the help here!
But having his human companion around also does make Whitey more brave and cheeky than when he's on his own. Meaning, that he might as well try approach a person on his own, especially if the said person happens to be enjoying themselves on a cafe or restaurant or something alike to it. He might just as well walk up right next to their table and look up with the saddest brown eyes you've ever seen! Surely you have enough heart to part with at least a bit of your food? :C
Well, whatever your choice is it doesn't matter because there's a harsh and commanding voice coming not too far from Whitey and his target;]
Oi, Whitey! Stop that.
IV - WILDCARD
[Hit me with your own TL! Also Richard can be included in both I and II prompts here if you wish so lmao. Also, while Whitey is just seemingly your average boar he also is somewhat supernaturally aware, if that makes sense?
Also also, if you want prompt/tl with just Richard that's fine too. I'll use this log as catch-all log for him. ]

No. He's usually more well-behaved than this. Look, [Richard moves his gloved hand to scratch Whitey on the side. And the reaction is immediate. Grunting gently, Whitey flops onto his side and reveals his tummy for further scratches.]
no subject
It's the tummy. The precious tummy. Look how cute and trusting Whitey is, showing that even around a stranger..!!
Still, Ange has at least some of her reputation to protect here. Even if she's willing to speak up to defend the poor piggy, it's not like she can just move to rub that cute little tummy without seeming much sweeter than she wants to come across, right..
Even if it takes so much out of her, she's not moving. She can't give into the temptation, not publicly! What wouldn't Richard think of her!! ]
Does he flop over like that very often?
[ Imagine being Richard and being able to give tummy rubs all the time.. He has no idea how lucky he is.. Ange has to put so much effort into just sounding like her usual relatively emotionless self here, okay! ]
no subject
Only when he thinks he sees an invitation. [Richard is not overly affectionate even with his animal companion, but he does partake in petting and cuddling from time to time. Enough for Whitey to recognize signs when he's about to receive belly rubs.]
What is your name, my lady?
no subject
[ Dang, this is her losing that opportunity for belly rubs, huh. Clearly Richard has already given all of them now.. She was too worried to make it in time.. ]
Ange Ushiromiya. [ There's a slight pause, and then she adds: ] I don't think I've seen you around much before. Have you been here long?
[ It's always hard to tell, and she knows it. After all, sometimes it's just that someone really is new and that's why she hasn't seen them around much, and sometimes it's just that Ange isn't social enough to have realized someone has been around for a while.. ]
no subject
Richard Plantagenet, the duke of Gloucester and son of York. At your service, miss Ushiromiya. And, [he looks down at the pig between them], this is Whitey.
no subject
.. not that Ange is too fazed by it, actually. She's spent a lot of time around rich people back home - mostly against her own will. She knows that some people just have titles like these, and also definitely insist on using them everywhere they go.
So rather than addressing his own name, her attention is of course drawn to-- ]
Whitey is a... [ ...
She wants to say cute.
She absolutely cannot say cute. ]
.. good name. [ Nailed it. ] He doesn't get any special titles through his association with you?
