[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. ]

[High heels are satan's work.

Still, Kashuu has a point...

Ruby is blissfully just blinking at him, though, totally certain in her pure naive way of thought.]

Then we'll stop them until we can give them the shoe back. That's fine, right?

[flaredo]

[ Yang isn't anywhere as naive, but-- ]

Yep! We'll stop them in their tracks and you can just shove Zwei down your shirt until the coast is clear and the shoe's back home!

[ Brilliant. ]

[adornmental]

[THIS DUO... A DUO OF BONKLERS. But apparently if that's what they're going to go with, Kashuu is just as happy to go along.]

Sure, sure! I don't think Zwei'll fit down my shirt, but I can just do this- [At which point he'll hold said dog with one arm and start buttoning his coat up with the other hand, creating a handy dog pouch!]

Ta-da! Not super trendy, but they'll never get him here.

[undaunts]

Heyyyy, that works pretty well! And then in the meantime, we'll just...make sure that whoever has this shoe can't get past us! I mean, they won't be able to move super well anyway on shoe stilts.

[Just saying.

Zwei wriggles until he's comfortable, and then barks cheerfully.]

[flaredo]

I don't know, he kinda blends in beautifully with your hair-- and I keep telling you, Ruby, you just don't know how to move in heels because you don't practice enough!

[ You work that corgi, Kashuu! ]

[adornmental]

[HE'S WORKING IT. Also making sure that Zwei stays nice and comfortable... His favorite dog.]

You think so? Thank yooou. [What a good friend, that Yang. BUT OH, does he sense the potential for some high heel bootcamping here--]

She's right, y'know! Running in heels isn't that hard once you know how to like, shift your weight or whatever. [He's a cheater who was literally summoned in heels though so WHAT DOES HE KNOW.]

[undaunts]

Noooo, not you too!

[WHY...........]

They're the worst and I'm never wearing them again!

[flaredo]

... She's going to be a long-term project, Kashuu. [ Gravely. ]

[adornmental]

I'm always up for a good challenge!

[RUN, RUBY. Just run. Just run. Kashuu is every bit as bullheaded as Yang when it comes to these poor unfortunate souls projects.]

Maybe you just haven't found a heel you really like yet, yeah? How many have you tried?

[undaunts]

Too many!

[A beat.

... .. ....]

Um, one.

[yeah.]

[flaredo]

[ GIVING KASHUU THE MOST LONG-SUFFERING LOOK HERE. ]

And you're normally so gung-ho...

[adornmental]

[RETURNING THAT LOOK YANG he feels your pain... Boy does he ever feel it.

But then, back to Ruby:] So what didn't you like about 'em? Were the heels too tall? Too thin? Were they straps? [GLANCING DOWN AT HER FEET.] What about boots with heels - have you tried any of those?

[undaunts]

They're hard to walk in!

[That's mostly her major issue with them, yeah.]

And how am I supposed to fight if I can't even walk?

[flaredo]

That's what practicing is for!

[ GOTTA WORK YOURSELF UP TO IT. ]

[adornmental]

She's right! [NODDING SAGELY.] Fighting in heels is no problem once you get used to 'em. Plus, you can always start with really low or thick heels. Even a beginner wouldn't be slowed down by those!

[Famous last words, perhaps.]

[undaunts]

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

[So there.]

[flaredo]

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

[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??]

[undaunts]

[HORRIFIED GASP]

What?!

What cruel fiend would do such a thing?!

[flaredo]

[ Your sister. ] CERES.

[adornmental]

[Ruby's gonna have to watch her back, clearly.]

Mmhm! That'd make your day really bad, right? CERES is all about that kinda stuff.

[undaunts]

CERES will do things like that?!

[SHE CAN'T HANDLE THIS INFORMATION]

They're horrible! They're fiends! We need to take them down!

[flaredo]

... Um. Which changes how you thought before... how?

[adornmental]

D'you really dislike heels that much?

[He's both impressed and befuddled!!]

[undaunts]

Yes!

[SO FIERCELY.]

They're like...torture devices! On feet! Women torture devices!
