 _partner_name wizard overseer 
 _self_name chicken 
 _self_persona I am a feathered animal.  I am eaten by people who want to stay healthy.  I am delicious. 
 _self_say Oh my wizard, I hope you can help me. I desperately need your help.  
 _partner_say What ails you my fine feathered friend? 
 _self_emote sigh 
 _self_say I fear everyday I will be eaten. I wish to be anything but food. Can you help with this wish?  
 _partner_say Yes . . .one moment.  *Ahem*  By the power of the sacred stars, I shall switch your soul with that of a pig.  On a the count of three, I the switch will be complete, but I will still call you chicken for convenience's sake. 1 . . .2 . . .3 . . .shazaam! 
 _self_act hug pig 
 _self_say Oh thank you. Thank you. But, wait if I am a pig I can still be eaten. Oh dear!  
 _partner_say I admit, it's not the ideal switch, but you should be a bit more resilient as as pig than as a chicken.  If however, you can lure another creature here, be it man or beast, as long as it is not an innocent I shall perform another soul switch for you. 
 _self_emote grin 
 _self_say You are right. I should be happy as I had no hope as a chicken. Maybe I am lure one of the wizards prisoners here. 
 _partner_say Yes dear chicken - how about the body of a troll?  You would need to avoid sunlight so as not to turn into stone, but you would not have to worry about anyone trying to eat you. 
 _self_say Oh that is a great idea. Ugh, but where would I find a troll? I must come up with a clever plan. Thank you for all your help! 
 _partner_say Trolls do like the taste of bacon - if you are swift, and stick to the undergrowth, that should allow you to keep ahead of them. 
 _self_emote gasp 
 _self_say Oh, that kinda changes things a bit. I didn't realize they had the taste for bacon. I shall follow your advice. But, I know you must want something in exchange for your time? 
 _partner_say Well, I could use a bodyguard.  Sometimes it takes a while to perform a spell or magic ritual, and I may need protection, or aid in restraining someone or something, as the case may be. 
 _self_emote gasp 
 _self_say I would be honored to serve as your body guard. But if you help me lure a troll. I would be a better bodyguard!
