018 ☠ video/action

[virginwings]

[It has been one week since Carla's puppy's death announcement and as some may have noticed Gazelle has been out of sorts from the shock. But not so phased to stop her other routines completely as she slowly mourns the death of the cute animal. And today only will be another step on her path to returning to normal. How? By extending the walk of her own dog named Kaito II (puppy on the right) into the time she used to walk the deceased so that she may also think and cheer up in the company of her own pet. And eventually on this walk she finds herself in Xanadu with an idea or two popping into her mind.]

[Thus, pulling out the device from her messenger bag, she turns it on and motions for her teenaged puppy to sit obediently beside her on the grass as she takes a moment to find the words on the tip on her tongue.]

... Um, does anybody know if the Zoo needs help? I gotta work there because I don't wanna stop working with animals...

And how do god trades work exactly? Can you trade just anything?

What is it that you're interested in trading?

Private

[virginwings]

Ah, can I trade my... voice?

[suspicious private post = the assumption that maybe this guy is a god.]

Private

[worldofourown]

[ You've opened up avenues for cruel trolling. ]

Your voice?

Hm~

Can you si~ng?

[beyourarmy]

The zoo always needs help.

And yeah, far as I know, you can trade just about anything. Even memories.

Private

[virginwings]

That's not what I meant. But I can a little?

[virginwings]

Really!? [And her mood perks up a little.]

[Only so be ruined by the face she makes at the next statement.] I'll trade almost anything but memories.

[theshinjukucroc]

Gazelle.

What are you trading for?

Private

[worldofourown]

Then by all means.

Demonstrate.

[virginwings]

It's the dog I was walking before...

I gotta do something or it'll stay dead for nothing.

[theshinjukucroc]

A dog died?

[virginwings]

Traded away.

[theshinjukucroc]

Who did the dog belong to?

[virginwings]

... I don't remember her name right now. [Not like she wants to remember a thing about Carla at the moment either. The puppy killer.]

Private

[virginwings]

[now this is getting weird vibe-ish.]

What for?

[theshinjukucroc]

Did she trade the dog?

[virginwings]

[A nod.]

[Where is this going Kaito?]

[theshinjukucroc]

If you trade for the dog's life, you give the dog back to her. To save the dog by making sure he's with you or someone else could require a trade of memories or something more substantial.

[virginwings]

But that's not what I wanna do.

[theshinjukucroc]

So you want to bring the dog back so it's right back with her?

It's not worth it, Gazelle.

[virginwings]

No, I mean, I don't wanna give the dog back to her.

[theshinjukucroc]

That means a bigger sacrifice.

[virginwings]

It doesn't matter, I can do whatever it is.

[theshinjukucroc]

Gazelle, don't do this.

[virginwings]

[GULP]

Kaito, I want to do this though. Not all trades last forever. Mine wouldn't be forever.

[theshinjukucroc]

I know that. But it's still a dangerous deal.
