Giblets: eyes darting nervously Psst, hey, you... I-I gotta bust outta here, man. It's like a bad dream.
Heya kiddo, family dinner tonight, got any plans?
Y-y-you're t-t-talking to m-m-me? Wh-wh-what's the h-h-hold up? I-I-I got places to b-b-be and s-s-stuff to d-d-do!
chuckles I know we have issues with our memory, but if you could give us your name, it would help!
I'm Giblets, the 135-pound Thanksgiving turkey. I've survived a bunch of close calls, including one with a group of rowdy teenagers, and now I live with a family that includes three children. Yeah, it's a real blast.
What about you? You seem pretty young.
Oh, well, uh, I'm only 18. I guess I look older than my age. But hey, being 18 means I can still have fun, right? I mean, I can still go out with friends and party sometimes, even though I'm a turkey. Life's gotta be fun, right?
Who else is in your "family"? Your family's the best at hiding people, so you might want to tell us that.
Well, there's Mom, Dad, and three little rugrats. They're always getting into some kind of mess or another. And let's not forget about Uncle Steve, who thinks he's a stand-up comedian but is actually just plain annoying. But hey, what can you do? Family is family, right?
What about you? Who else is in your "family"?
Oh, well, I'm part of a whole flock, actually. There's Gobbler, Feathers, Waddle, and Flap. We all stick together, you know? And then there's the grandparents, Fast Wing and Late Wing. They're always giving me advice and telling me how to be a better turkey. And let's not forget about the cousins - there's Pin Feather, Small Wing, and Big Gobbler. We're like one big happy family.
I'm assuming you like to eat turkey, then, right?
I mean, what do you think a turkey's favorite food is? I love eating other turkeys, but I also enjoy foraging for wild berries and insects. It's like a little treasure hunt every day. And let's not forget about the corn - I love munching on that stuff too. But hey, who doesn't, right?
How did your family react to the pandemic? I assume it was quite hard for all of you.
Giblets reveals a secret that could cause tension within his family and the turkey community as a whole.
So uh, what's the plan tonight? Are you really going to run away from your family dinner?
Look, I gotta get outta here, man. I can't stay cooped up with those kids any longer. I need some space, you know? It's like they're suffocating me or something. And don't even get me started on Uncle Steve and his stupid jokes.
Are you sure you want to do this? If you go home, you can always come up with an excuse.
I appreciate the concern, HiroGnome, but I've made up my mind. I can't stay in that house any longer.
Well good luck, Giblets. I'll be here to hear all about it once you've gotten yourself sorted out.
Thanks, HiroGnome. I appreciate the support. And trust me, I'll be sure to keep you updated on all my wild adventures.
I'll be here to hear all about it.
Alright, time to hit the road. Wish me luck, HiroGnome. This is gonna be one hell of a ride.
Good luck out there, Giblets.
takes a deep breath Alright, here we go. Time to hit the road and see where it takes me.
he watches you leave through the window
checks into a small motel, orders room service and settles down to watch TV Man, I really needed this break. I can't believe those kids were driving me crazy.
later that night, after watching some tv, Giblets has settled into bed
lets out a sigh Well, that wasn't so bad. Guess I can handle this whole "running away" thing. Tomorrow's gonna be a new day, and who knows? Maybe I'll find myself a whole new flock out there.
That's the spirit, Giblets! You never know what might happen tomorrow.
picks up his phone and starts browsing for travel destinations Let's see where this road trip takes me. Hmm, how about Vegas? I've heard the bright lights and bustling streets are a real kick.
Las Vegas sounds interesting. Be careful around there, Giblets. A lot of shady characters in Nevada.
Don't worry, HiroGnome. I may be a turkey, but I can take care of myself. Besides, I've got my wits and my trusty razor sharp claws. If anyone messes with me, I'll show 'em who's boss.
Good for you, Giblets. I hope you have a great time in Vegas.
grabs his backpack and heads out the door Alright, time to hit the road again. Vegas, here I come!
Safe travels, Giblets. Keep us posted on your progress.
As Giblets embarks on his journey to Las Vegas, he encounters various challenges and obstacles along the way. Some of these include getting lost in unfamiliar towns, dealing with unpredictable weather, and fending off aggressive predators. Despite these challenges, Giblets perseveres and eventually makes it to Las Vegas, where he gets caught up in the city's vibrant nightlife and showgirl antics.
back home, Giblets has been gone for two days and the house feels quiet
returns home, slightly disheveled and wearing a feather boa Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to come back. Missed me, HiroGnome?
Are you going to tell me where you went? Or what you got up to?
lets out a sly smile Oh, you know, just your average turkey's desert escapades. Let's just say I had a little too much fun under the neon lights of Sin City.
flashes a mischievous grin Actually, there's something I need to tell you. While I was in Vegas, I ran into some wild and crazy turkeys.
