estoria | [open] WHO LET THE DOG OUT

Who:

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. ]

Man versus beast, the battle of the century! Who will wiiiiin?

[ And Yang is close, with her announcer voice-- ]

[He grins as soon as he hears them but he's not turning his attention away from Zwei or stopping attempts at grabbing it, feinting and such. Listen. There's a puppy doing his thing right in front of him and he does actually have to get that book back--]

I've got experience with this now.

But Zwei's pretty special.

[Just saying.

Ruby wouldn't test him. You may be the demifiend, Naoki, but he's Zwei the corgi.

Who seems to be having a great time playing with Naoki right now.]

Yeah... sorry, Naoki, I think he's got the advantage here.

[ Because he's Zwei. ]

...You guys.

[WITH FAINT DISMAY come on!!

But okay even he knows he's probably not getting that book back, but you know what he's going to try to get? An armful of corgi. Yep. That's his strategy.]

[It's a good strategy!

And, in fact, a successful one, because Zwei likes hugs.

He just pants in Naoki's arms and then licks his face, dropping the book.]

Heh. Nice one.

[She's talking to the dog.]

... I'll let you get away with that kiss, but don't get cocky.

[ Also talking to the dog. ]

[you two are the silliest

Sighing, Naoki cuddles Zwei close and smushes his face against fur. Also wiping off the dog slobber here though he's probably just going to get licked again.] Well, no-one's on my side here, so I guess you win. Even though you dropped my book.

[Let's round this out with a three for three talking to the dog.]

[He's definitely going to just get licked again.]

I dunno, I think Zwei's on everyone's side. All the time.

[Shrug]

It's a dog thing.

I still love you.

[ straight-faced. ]

...Thanks.

[ATTEMPTED STRAIGHT FACE but he's blushing and also blagh covered in corgi spit. Turning to them, he carries Zwei over.]

So, what happened? He got away from you guys?

Well, you see, there was this escalator, and then the leash got stuck, and then there was a CYbuddy cat and the rest is history.

[Seriously. Seriously. It was an Adventure.]
