[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. ]

[maybe it's because they're both such dog lovers that repede doesn't seem to give it much thought. it's likely he would have taken a liking to ruby quickly, but yang normally may have been a little more of a crapshoot.

(what are his criteria anyway? we just don't know.)

estelle would definitely be envious right now, but that's neither here nor there.]

It's been a while since Repede's had any other pooch friends. He's kind of a lone wolf, but I think even he misses being around other dogs these days. [a little. he'd still rather hang with the humans, though.]

[undaunts]

[Poor Estelle, doomed to never be loved by Repede.

But Ruby's more than willing to sign Zwei up for friendship.]

Well, Zwei could always use more doggy friends... and you're our friend, Yuri... it's perfect!

[flaredo]

Hey, yeah! I can call Hawke up and we can have a group doggy date!

[ Good plan or best plan-- ]

[fatalstriker]

...Group doggy date?

[well, that sure sounds like a thing. granted, he doesn't really know hawke either, so that's a factor.]

Guess something like that would probably be up to the pups to decide.

[undaunts]

What do you think, Zwei?

[She'll immediately take that suggestion, crouching to ask Zwei his thoughts.

Naturally, Zwei barks happily, dancing in a circle.

On to the next dog.]

What about you, Repede?

[flaredo]

Already putting it to a vote...

[fatalstriker]

[repede lets out a firm bark, which causes yuri to look down at him with a bit of a snort.]

I think he wants to meet any other dogs first before he decides. [he just wants to be... top dog...]

[undaunts]

That's fair.

[Ruby, too, would want to meet the others first before anything like that.]

But that means we need a meeting in general anyway, so that's a yes for doggy pow-wow one!

[Yessss.]

[flaredo]

Lemme know when you wanna meet Garrett, and I'll have Hawke bring him around. He's really friendly!

... And heavy. Really heavy.

[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]

[Ruby's just shrugging over here; she doesn't know him, so it's all on Yang.

Instead, she's going to focus on Repede, planting her hands on her knees to get down on his level (which is admittedly not hard, Ruby is short) and grin at him.

And--]

Sup, Repede?

[Thanks, Ruby.]

[flaredo]

If you made your dog about... a foot taller, that's Garrett.

[ HE'S A GOOD BOY. ]

[fatalstriker]

All right, big dog he must be, then.

[granted, repede's not the biggest dog, but he's big enough, that's for sure. it probably means they won't be the best of friends, but... well, they can worry about that when the time comes.

for now, repede's content to give a couple of barks at ruby (friendly ones, naturally) before sniffing around to see what's up with her. he will gracious accept head pats and chin scratches and bellu rubs, though.]

[undaunts]

[Head pats Ruby will gladly give, because honestly--]

Yuri, your dog is so coooool.

[LOOK AT HIM!!]

He's accessorizing!

[flaredo]

... Careful, Yuri. She's going to wind up liking your dog more than she likes you.

[fatalstriker]

Wouldn't be the first time that's happened.

[he knows repede is cool. repede knows he's cool too, and he's totally okay with ruby acknowledging this.

...which is why he backs up to be a total show-off.]

...Trying to impress the ladies huh, Repede?

[undaunts]

[WHOAAAAA.]

Repede is so cool, Yuri! You two are so... cool and suave together, you know? Like, you totally match!

[flaredo]

Wait, does that mean he can backflip like that too??

[ That'd be cool. ]

[fatalstriker]

[repede barks—damn right they're cool partners.]

Not like that, but I'm pretty flexible.

[undaunts]

[all of that flies right over her head]

... But no actual backflips?

[She's kind of disappointed....]

[flaredo]

Ruby, not everyone can be as cool as their dogs...

[fatalstriker]

Really going for that honesty there huh, Yang.

[undaunts]

But Yuri's cool! He totally has the cool and suave look down!

[flaredo]

I mean, he's still cool-- just not as cool as Repede.

[ is her stance, and she's sticking to it. ]

[fatalstriker]

Looks like you win this round, Repede. I just can't beat that kind of cool.

[naturally, he barks happily. they don't even know how cool he is. he can snowboard! he wears sunglasses sometimes! he's too cool, really.]
