When you ask about a favorite brand of crackers, the two-headed parrot nearly has a conniption, squawking violently with both heads bobbing slightly out of sync. "CrAcKERS, hUh?" it shrieks at you. "yOu WanNa tyP-p-PEcAsT Me, yOu SmArMY FUCK..." After a moment, both heads shake in sync, as if dispelling a cloud of dust, and then the parrot pauses. Pollyolly's wings go to his side in a show of respect, and looks up at you with both heads staring at you, paying attention. "Sorry. Could you get me some Sailor Saltines?" the demon asks. "They should have some here, but I have to stay at my p-p-post."

"So you can talk normally!" Beatrice gasps, putting her hands to her cheeks in shock.

"fUcK YoU!" He's suddenly back to being a disrespectful noise hazard, fluttering about and trying to hop and peck at your ally. You decide to shut him up for a bit, going to get his snack of choice.

(1 pack of Sailor Saltines: -1 EC)

His heads both look down at the packet and then back up at you, expectantly. He bobs a bit.

(Another pack of Sailor Saltines: -1 EC)

It seems like he's just looking for a change in pace. Is there something Wingman's could do to make his current spot more entertaining, or otherwise keep him on call?

Tearing the packets open with his own talons, he nods happily. "dELiCiOus... aNyWay, YeAH, p-p-pReTTy MuCH. i've BeEn StUck IN tHiS DeAD-EnD joB foREvvvvVveR." He preens himself. "JuST lOOk aT my P-P-PLuMAgE! I dESerVe TO bE A sTaR!" He marches back and forth as if he were on a runway, pausing at intervals and contorting to show off. His wings twist back and forth, and he stretches out his neck to show off the gradient of feathers. He does have two heads, so he has that going for him, but besides that, he's nothing totally out of the ordinary for parrots. When he's finished, he turns back towards you and eagerly awaits your assessment with bobbing and tilting of his heads.

Beatrice isn't convinced, and looks at you with a concerned side-eye, wondering if you're taking the avian's show seriously. It's hard to look at this situation with a straight face, but you are a negotiator. Maybe there's some way you can put this moment of vanity to good use. He's not the most focused individual, so it might be enough to just give him a momentary change of scene before he gets bored again and wants to go back to his current job.

>>I've been stuck in this dead-end job forever!
>Maybe you just need a vacation.
>You do look like exactly the sort of mascot a spot called 'Wingman's' is looking for.
>My job is pretty exciting. We could hire you on temporarily at SMG on the condition you come back to Wingman's after a while.
>Do you have any other skillsets, such as cooking?
>Come to think of it, since you have two heads, shouldn't your name be P-Polly, not Pollyolly?
