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. ]

Noooo, not you too!

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

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

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

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?

Too many!

[A beat.

... .. ....]

Um, one.

[yeah.]

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

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

[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?

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?

That's what practicing is for!

[ GOTTA WORK YOURSELF UP TO IT. ]

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.]

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

[So there.]

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

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??]
