[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. ]

[See, the good part about being asked to play fetch with a dog that's stolen something from somebody else is that he can now 100% fully enjoy the cuteness of said dog without simultaneously being miffed at having something snatched away!

ie rip whoever this high heel does belong to, because it sure isn't Kashuu's.]

Whatcha got there, huh? [PICKING UP THE SHOE and reaching down simultaneously with his other hand to pat this cute, cute corgi.] Not bad taste, but we should prooobably get this back to whoever it belongs to.

[Is he gonna try scooping the corgi up? HE SURE IS. Though he's got to pause his efforts because at least one of those two voices sounds familiar. AND THERE SHE IS--]

Oh! Hey, is this yours? [The shoe or the dog??]

[a_meebo]

[Mikleo isn't exactly paying attention as he walks down the sidewalk from lunch with Sorey. His thoughts are preoccupied with worry over whatever's happened in their world to cause his friend to be a little less than his normal self.

So, he trips over the little dog that runs in his path. The seraph is able to catch himself and he looks around on the ground for whatever made him lose his balance.

Mikleo stares at the corgi.

The corgi stares back at him.

Then, the corgi barks and rolls over for love and attention. Sadly, Mikleo's having none of it as he squeaks and takes a couple steps backwards. Please don't follow him, little doggy, he is terrified of you.]

No.

[Look at this horrible person not petting a dog. He can't even do a sparkly shoujo moment where the dog warms his ice cold heart.

Okay, maybe a little bit. Hopefully Yang and Ruby aren't watching as they run up when Archer throws out a bit of chicken for the dog.]

Now shoo before you get buried.

[undaunts]

[Definitely not the shoe, honestly. Ruby's skidding to a stop before Kashuu, making a face at the heel. Ew no???]

Never.

[Wow, she sounds so fervent.]

Zwei, who did you steal this from? That's not very nice!

[undaunts]

[Yeah, Ruby is definitely wincing.]

Oooh... That looks like it hurt.

[But she's quick to trot over, tilting her head.]

Um. Mikleo...? You okay?

[Why are you running from their adorable corgi?]

[flaredo]

He knows better than to steal my shoes. [ With a frown at the dog who is happily panting and trying to clamber his way into Kashuu's arms, hello again buddy. ]

Thanks for slowing him down, Kashuu! I think he got a little too bored...

[undaunts]

[That sure was a lot of chicken for the dog.

Ruby just thinks it's cute though, honestly, even as she runs right up (only mildly out of breath, keeping up with a dog is a Challenge.]

Whew...! I knew you had to have a squishy heart for something, Archer.

[flaredo]

... Did Zwei actually bite him?

[ Uh. Because their adorable corgi is too cute to be afraid of otherwise, right? Look, he's still kind of flopping haphazardly on the ground! ]

[flaredo]

I knew you'd have a weakness for the cute!

[ ... She says, at the exact same time as her sister, complete with triumphant point. ]

c!

[ A wild DOG appeared!

kidding. but being the trainer he is, steven does have an affinity for non-human creatures. said affinity is usually directed towards those of a more... metallic variety, but hey! these "dog" things are okay, too.

he's out for a walk with his own small companion by his side when this furry animal bounds up and barks at him, offering itself for pets. aron seems intrigued and curious, but who is steven to ignore it?

he crouches down, giving the puppy a pet on the tummy. ]

Good boy.

[swordboning]

Hardly. Anyone who saw an animal being chased by vicious creatures would certainly raise a hand to help. That's in the genetic nature of all living things.

[Oop.

What a terrible man.

Enough so that he picks up the dog and sets him up on his counter.]

There, you're safe now.

[Keimi was just on her way home from the market, towing a small box of supplies in a bubble behind her when she comes across a fuzzy little friend sitting down and staring at her curiously.

The mermaid beams at the corgi, giving him a little wave before floating closer. Oh, he has a little ball at his feet.]

Hello, little doggie. Did you want to play fetch?

[With a little work bending over the side of her bubble, she is now plus one red rubber ball. And with a wind of her arm... away it across the square!]

[a_meebo]

[Mikleo gets up and dusts himself off self-consciously. Goody, he's got an audience to see this.

Then he's going to take a very small step back from the corgi again. Small dogs, big dogs, wolves, dog/wolf hellions, it doesn't matter. They're all terrifying in different amounts.]

I'm fine. And he didn't bite me.

[Zwei barking again makes him flinch this time. He just keeps thinking to himself that it could be worse. Soooo much worse. Mikleo decides to focus on the humans instead of their tiny canine.]

Nice to see you again, Ruby. [As undignified is this is. He looks to Yang and nods politely at her.] I'm Mikleo. Zwei's your dog?

[adornmental]

[Gosh Ruby what's up with that reaction?? BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, HELLO BUDDY good corgi best corgi... Kashuu's obligingly picking him up, rubbing his cheek against Zwei's head.]

No problem! But if this shoe isn't yours or yours, someone out there's probably gonna come after this little guy.

[Granted they'd have to get through three buff punks to get to the dog BUT STILL.]

[undaunts]

[Anyone who likes Zweis is a friend of Ruby's, honestly. She's bounding up behind him, still calling out--]

Zweeeeiiiiii, wait uuuuup--oh!

[She almost trips over Aron, but manages to skid to a stop just in time.

That was close.]

... Um, hi!

[Awkward.]

[undaunts]

[The little doggie totally wants to play fetch.

Which means that Zwei is totally going to bark bark bark!!! at her, and as soon as she tosses it, he's bolting for it excitedly.

Ruby will catch up eventually, but for now Zwei sure seems happy as he retrieves it and brings it back to her, panting proudly.]

[undaunts]

He's not being chased by--

[Oh.

Then it clicks.]

Heyyyyyyy.

[undaunts]

[Sorry, Mikleo. She beams though, perfectly happy to see him again.]

Yep, that's right! It's good to see you too, Mikleo! This is my big sister, Yang.

Yang, Mikleo's a friend of mine! He's pretty strong and he's really nice and apparently he's afraid of dogs and he's got a really cool color scheme!

[#nailed it]

[undaunts]

[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.

[seakingbait]

Such a good boy!

[Can she pick you up? She's trying to pick you up.

And stroke your widdle ears awwwww.]

a!! y'all get the other dog

[scenting]

[ that dog just took malia's SKEWER OF MEAT. she was lifting it to her mouth, about the bite into the thing in the happy sort of way malia only gets around things that make her feel more feral when SUDDENLY. suddenly.

she blinks, hand empty and corgi in front of her, happily wagging his tail and holding her meat. nnnno?? nooo???? she takes a step forward, zwei takes a step backwards and then malia does what any responsible teen girl who just got her meat stolen would do.

she growls.

and then the fangs come out. ]

[flaredo]

If you're pretty strong, then you could probably at least tie against Zwei if he wanted to take you on.

[ Yang leans down to scoop the dog, before he starts to whimper. ]

Nice to meet you, Mikleo.

[masakados]

--oh, it's gonna be like that, huh, Zwei?

[ZWEI NICKED A BOOK FROM HIM... One of a few, actually. That just so happened to be one that he was reading while he was walking. What? It was a book day. Naoki has...quite a bit of free time.]

C'mere, you. [He's wiggling his fingers and approaching. HE WILL PLAY KEEP AWAY he has no reservations about playing with cute dog tho he vaguely wonders why Ruby and Yang aren't with him but hey.]
