[ curtis plops at the end of his bed to actually acknowledge the feed for the first time in almost a month now.  he's a little breathless and-- sweaty.  late-night running was never really his thing, but he'd been having some trouble sleeping as of late.  he slips off his windbreaker and sips his bottle of water before deciding to speak. ]

... I found this dog.  I don't know if anyone's missing 'im. [ and he'll place his bottle on the end table beside him before reaching out and gently pulling a golden retriever into view. ]  

Give me a call if he's yours, yeah?  

[ filtered to alisha & simon: ]

You think it's all right if we keep him until we figure out what to do with him?  

[ he's expecting to get yelled at.  or hit.  but he kind of really likes the puppy dog :( ]

Awww, he's cute! He's not mine, though -- did he have a collar?

[rudeandginger]

People actually bother keeping pets in this place?

[mrbackwards]

No, no collar... but he looks like he's been taken care of.

[mrbackwards]

Guess so?

His owner could have left the City. That happened with my horse; she's halter-trained but she was running wild before I got her.

[uprouse]

Ah—it may be worth taking some care with that!

[awkwards]

Who says I'm having anything to do with figuring out what to do with this dog?

[ for all her talk, she'll help him out. as that is what friends do for each other. ]

[mrbackwards]

[ wuuuut ]

[mrbackwards]

[ alisha bailey ]

[mrbackwards]

... Yes?

[ IT'S NOT LIKE SHE LIVES AT THE HOUSE... ]

There's a barn just outside the City.

[rudeandginger]

Seems like giving in, is all.

[signatures]

Does he have a collar?

[uprouse]

The full answer to that's most likely too troublesome to get into. But I've heard that animals aren't always simply animals here, are they?

If he doesn't have a collar, check if he's chipped at the shelter. If he's not, he's free for the taking.

[Cue Angela cooing at the screen. She can't help it.]

[archivy]

That is a very cute dog.

[rehashing]

... Hey.

[mrbackwards]

Don't think I've ever seen an actual barn.

[ OMG GET IN A HOUSE. ]

Bet it's nice... yeah? [ right? ]

[mrbackwards]

Giving into what? Staying here?

[mrbackwards]

Neither are people. Least a dog can't bitch at me.

[mrbackwards]

No... looks well kept, though.

Think you could-- [ stop cooing, it's distracting! he pauses and stares a few moments before smiling. ]

Think you could show me where that is?

[mrbackwards]

Thanks. Not sure whose he is, though.

[mrbackwards]

What's up?

voice l missed you girl

[rehashing]

[ and then her attention comes to him ]

Sorry, I was trying to find a file. [ she smiles but -- he can't see that so her tone changes. ] I'm at work. You found a dog?
