[boutant]

[ From the look of things, Ariadne appears to be in the Inception House's kitchen, staring intently at a piece of paper in front of a cookie jar. There's a pen in her hand, the tip pressed to the paper, but every time she goes to write something, she ends up shaking her head and stilling. This continues for several minutes before she finally starts to write. Once she's finished, the pen is set down and the paper held up so the camera can see what she wrote: Pancake. Once the camera has seen it, she begins to whisper. ]

I'm sorry Pancake, but I can't afford to let you turn against me and vote with Arthur because he offered you more treats. I have to vote you off the island.

[ With that said, Ariadne folds the paper in half and places it in the cookie jar, the feeding cutting out as she turns her back. ]

Well? Did it work out after all?

[boutant]

it did! but it's going to be more vicious next round

[punchedhitler]

Ariadne, I don't think dogs have the vote.

[boutant]

He's a contestant, he can vote.

[punchedhitler]

A contestant in what?

[boutant]

Survivor. [ DUH STEVE ]

[hexuality]

So that's the big secret to us getting home? Lucky him.

[So uncursed. And so teasing.]

[boutant]

No, they'll make him stay to sit on the jury and involved since we've voted so many people off.

[ 100% serious. ]

[hexuality]

But he's... a dog.

[boutant]

He's a contestant.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

...Ariadne?

[Should he be worried?]

[boutant]

Yes?

[ ... maybe. ]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Are you alright?

Turning on your own pet to save yourself. Dramatic twist.

[He is literally popcorn.gifing.]

[boutant]

Technically he's Arthur's dog anyway. He is cute, though.

[metaman]

Not as moving. I'd recommend withholding that piece of information for maximum dramatic impact.

[pratful]

[ he's royally confused there for a long moment. ] I don't have a dog. And what island? I didn't think we were on an island. [ and apparently he still is. ]

[boutant]

Oh-- not you, Arthur. The Arthur I live with. If it were you I would've drawn a crown.

[ Pause. ] And of course we're on an island.

[pratful]

[ the dawning light appears! ]

Oh... right. I've met him before, I think. [ he had, hadn't he? He had a vague memory of a ship... ]

And no, I'm pretty sure we aren't. If we were, we'd be able to see more then one beach, I should think. [ unless it's a giant island perhaps, but what are the odds of that? ]

[It is in the evening, when Anna has been convinced to stop working and relax a little that she gets around to replying. She has a grey kitten in her lap.]

I never did care much for American television.

and then I came back ten years later sob

[boutant]

[ Kitten! 8D ]

I don't watch much of it. It's usually just on for background noise.

Who's your friend?

woops

[flensing]

Well... Some boys were giving away kittens, and this one was named Danish.

[It was kind of serendipitous.]

/the latest prancer hoofs in circles /)_(\

[dropkick]

[ NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo.... ]

But he can't swim.

[ Taking it. too. literally. cries. ]

/feeds oats out of hand :D

[boutant]

He's a dog, of course he can swim.

[ ... wait ]

Arthur! You're not supposed to know who voted!

[ Ariadne has it ever occurred to you that you may be the only one "on the show"? No? Okay. ]

/INAHLES i-i mean...nibbles u.u!!! ♥ ;-; ;klfsdok;lsd omg oats sound good...

[dropkick]

[ there's the START of a sound like he's going to say one thing then stops, the kind where you just KNOW he's having one of those fish-face open/close/open/close moments.....gif ]

'cause when we tried to take him out past the part where his paws still touch the ground he just kind of...blubbed.

[ WHICH ISN'T to say Pancake isn't just LEGENDARY in his laziness...but the world may never know. Because Arthur is a whipped pet owner..... ]

And what's this voting business anyway?

[ here's the part where they discover that last-woman standing thing re ONLY CONTESTANT....

does this mean she won?lmdflsfdsflks ]
