[open] WHO LET THE DOG OUT

[flaredo]

Who: flaredo & undaunts and YOU! (Tagging order will be You-Ruby-Yang!)
When: IC 5/1
Where: Everywheeeeeeeeere
What: In which a corgi rains terror over the populace
Rating/Warning: C for CORGIIIIIIII

---

[ So while you're walking about, enjoying or hating your day, you will encounter a dog. This dog will, as adorable corgis do, perform one of the following feats:

a.) Steal whatever you're holding for a game of Keep Away. Don't think that being tall will save you, he's got quite the spring in his hind legs.

b.) Drop whatever thing he's picked up (ball, wadded up paper, someone's high heel) and wait expectantly for you to play fetch with him.

c.) Bark. And roll over. This means love him.

d.) Trip you. It's probably unintentional.

Whatever he does, at least you'll hear two voices (familiar or not) clamoring in the distance for "Zweeeeeeeeeeeeeei!" and then Yang and Ruby will be heading in your direction at high speed.

Whatever you do, don't grab the dog and run. They may not know who you are, but they will find you. And they will kill you.

Or at least make you regret it. ]

[undaunts]

Yeah, you could say that.

[It's why she always thinks about them, anyway; it's one of those things that just happens. She nods thoughtfully, considering.]

It's sort of like... colors are supposed to remind us that...we're all individuals but we should work together too, and preserve...good things and...yeah!

[You processed Ozpin's speech real well, Ruby, didn't you.]

[seakingbait]

[Keimi giggles, hugging Zwei close to her chest.]

It's so neat that you two get along so well. Sisters really are close, huh?

[undaunts]

But I don't wanna learn how to fight in heels!

[So there.]

[flaredo]

There was kind of a thing where a lot of us were named after colors, actually.

[ ... You two listened really well. ]

[flaredo]

Ruby, with your luck, it'll happen [ again ] whether you want it to or not. You should be prepared!

[flaredo]

Yep! More than half a year.

[ Somehow she's managed. ]

[geophile]

Giant, yes, at times. Soulless, thankfully not. Killer... depends on the situation, but usually not.

[ sounds like your world is a hoot, ladies. ]

[adornmental]

It's true, it's true! What if you wake up with a pair of heels attached to your feet one day?

[That's what CERES does, right? Go after a person's weak points??]

[zombiedude]

[Nico gets to his feet, watching the dog warily in case it lunges and tries to bite him. He looks over at two girls when they come up, raising an eyebrow.]

This belong to you two? [Both of them he remembers having conversations with before at some point or another, but he doesn't know them much at all beyond that.]

[prosecutory]

Er...not quite. I have to earn enough ViViD credits before I can see him again.

[It's the only reason why he's been spotted more often playing games there.]

...Although it's "nice" of them to give us this opportunity.

[faithfulflame]

Oh. It's...not one of those kinds of things. It's just Cerealia things.

[You know. It's definitely just a thing.]

Ghosts possessed a forklift. Ruby-chan cut it up some and I froze the ghost inside so she could destroy it. And then there was the mattressbot...

[patrimony]

Your family... [ He voice trails off. She pulls herself up to stand once more. ]

Did he arrive from your home?

[beaconed]

Ah--!! [ crap! ]

Yeah!

[ Jaune switches over to Yang's side, chastising Ruby and Zwei with the same glare. ]

How could you, guys?! This is Yang - Beacon's funniest! C'mon! I-I'm sorry, Yang, they just don't get you, y'know?

[swordboning]

If I was joking, that would mean I did have plans for your dog and a food dish.

Thankfully, I'm being more than serious.

[moribound]

[The point is taken and summarily ignored with a light shrug, as Minato's one of the last people would be bothered by someone calling him strange. He gives Zwei a quick scratch behind the ears by way of a pause before replying.]

I get that a lot. Guess I know what to do if Koromaru is ever sent here...first the movies, then I'm bringing him to see all of you- he'd like that.

[scenting]

[ wait... what...!

oh god, suddenly she's going out to lunch with people. this is not what she had planned. ]

Wait, I don't even know you. Why would I go out to eat with strangers?

[dawnsprincess]

Thank you. [Yona is definitely grateful for the offer, and for their company. More cheerfully —] Where are you going? Do you mind if I join you?

[heiwana]

[ Kousetsu nods in acknowledgement. Totally oblivious to the awkward, or perhaps he's just used to it being like this. His face shows no indication of either?! Lineface to the extreme. ] He was...doing no such thing.

[ He'll give Zwei one or two more pets before standing up straight again. ] He is a very good dog. I...have not seen many here that were not cybuddies.

[ It's nice to know there are some real animals around not focused on maiming and eating them. Though he's silent for a long moment before looking back at Ruby and Yang. ]

His name...what does it mean?

[cryptologic]

No, seriously, don't worry about it. [ Yes, Yang, just keep that meddlesome Corgi away from him... ]

[zerotohiro]

I'd say you're lucky Zwei didn't get hurt but I think he could probably defend himself in the wild better than I could. [He's eyeing Zwei almost critically.] Have you guys ever taken him inside ViViD? I bet we could program a doggie obstacle course or something for him to burn off energy. Plus it'd be a new environment with every new game.

[fatalstriker]

[ruby's so excited... which seems around right, honestly. yuri's a bit more neutral to things, but it probably can't hurt much. probably.]

Heavy, huh. Guess he's a big dog, then?

[undaunts]

Uh...

[Ruby's not sure she really appreciates the tone, especially with regards to Zwei, but ultimately she just shrugs.]

...Yes? His name's Zwei though. [Not "This".]

[undaunts]

Yeah, he came with me.

[But Ruby's just peering thoughtfully at Alisha now, tilting her head.]

...Uh--you okay? You like kind of... sad.

[flaredo]

C'mere, Zwei-- [ And she'll crouch down, clapping her hands to get the corgi to come over. ... Which he will, after sniffing a bit in Nico's direction. ]

[flaredo]

... Sorry, did I hit a bad topic?

[ Family's always iffy, huh... ]
