[open] WHO LET THE DOG OUT

Who: [personal profile] flaredo & [personal profile] 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. ]

Parrot? Parrot?! Are you blind?!

[He is maybe still not used to a world where people can't just identify birds on sight (mostly because the majority of them are birds). He's beginning to get used to the world where they're all surprised when he talks, as much as he wishes he weren't. Sakuya tries to divide his glare evenly between both of them and the dog.]

I am less closely related to parrots than you are to apes!

[But he sure squawks like one.]
undaunts: (..........come again?)

[personal profile] undaunts 2016-01-10 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[???? Apes???]

... Uh.

But you are a bird, right?

[It's a dumb question but he denied the parrot thing so strongly!!]
debossy: (I like long walks on my private beach)

[personal profile] debossy 2016-01-12 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Obviously I am! I do not see your point!

[He's pretty baffled by this point, in fact, crossing his wings defensively and giving up on keeping an eye on the dog. It's probably fine, right?]
undaunts: (whoa it's like a robot BUT NOT)

[personal profile] undaunts 2016-01-14 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
What kind of bird are you, then?

[Ruby's...trying!! But she is far from a bird expert, really.

And it's pretty safe, Zwei just wants to play. He's bouncing in place right now, but that might change soon...]

[personal profile] debossy 2016-01-14 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[But she has it right, and not only that, she called him "really fancy." That at least partially makes up for the parrot misunderstanding! Sakuya fluffs up extra fancy, pleased.]

You see? I knew you could not possibly be that ignorant.
undaunts: (remember that one plotline)

[personal profile] undaunts 2016-01-14 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[... And, to Yang again:]

He's... kind of a mean fancy pigeon, isn't he?
debossy: (tell me more about this Nuru massage)

[personal profile] debossy 2016-01-16 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't actually object to any of that, though, and he's getting sadly used to this reaction, so all he does is make a minor grumbly noise.]

I have not met a single person here who is. I am becoming rather used to this, by now.
undaunts: (what do you think of my evil laugh?)

[personal profile] undaunts 2016-01-17 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
... Well, when you put it like that, it's kind of sad.

[There's a pause as Ruby considers this, and then:]

Soooo.... how about we be your friends instead? I promise I'll try to get used to talking to a fancy pigeon! And then you'll have someone to talk to normally.
debossy: ("Salut" my ass Yuuya)

[personal profile] debossy 2016-01-19 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Ah . . . that . . .

[He cocks his head, confused. All of the fight goes out of him though, congratulations. He's still not really good at dealing with people showing him kindness and attention, or offering to be "friends."]

Why? What benefit is there to you in a thing like that?
undaunts: (okay but what if we don't)

[personal profile] undaunts 2016-01-19 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Thankfully, these two are friendly to practically everyone, so this makes perfect sense to them. Mostly.]

Yeah, that's a great idea, Yang! We can start off conversations with "Hey did you know there's a talking bird here?" and go from there! Then lots of people will know.

[Nailed it.

Benefit though....]


Ummm... then you won't have to feel so out of place, right? That's good enough for me.
debossy: (C.S. Lewis wants to speak with me?)

[personal profile] debossy 2016-01-22 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
I—see.

[No he doesn't. He's baffled. But hey, he's not mad anymore, just staring at them in confusion and surprise rather than irritation.]

And what do you mean for me to do in return?

[He's still not very good at how to friend.]
undaunts: (are you hearing the words i am saying)

[personal profile] undaunts 2016-01-23 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
... Uh, mostly just be yourself maybe?

[She's not really sure what he's asking for.]
debossy: (the height of 22nd century fashion)

[personal profile] debossy 2016-01-25 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
Ha! Of course; I am always myself. What a ridiculous request. I had thought you were going to ask for some consideration in return . . .

[Of course friends deserve some consideration, obviously, but he's still working all of this out. He tries. Despite that, he's pretty pleased about the request, though.]
