I'd like to address the cities as a whole on an urgent matter. [ the tone of this voice is the very definition of the term 'harried'. it is very nearly drowned out by a constant, excitable uproar that could only belong to a large pack of dogs. ]

If you weren't already aware, there was a break-in at one of the major dog shelters in the area. If you haven't already collected one, or assisted in returning them to said shelter, then I graciously encourage you to do so.

On the matter of collection, I also have with me a very large group of dogs in sore need of homes or relocation. [ some of that 'harried' is joined by a healthy dose of 'desperation'. ]

Any help would be appreciated. I thank you in advance for your time.

[ please save him ]

[for one reason or another, Joseph didn't recognize the voice right away. Audio does strange distortions and people always sound different over the phone. But it does occur to him as he nervously approaches Coby's door; nervously rubbing the movie tickets between his fingers and wondering how he's going to say this.

They're friends, right?

This isn't weird, is it?

He clears his throat and knocks twice only to notice the clamor at the door through the cloud of his nerves.

Oh.... oh hell.]

I see you couldn't bring yourself to arrest them all either.

[om_nom_namur]

Jus' set 'em loose in the woods an' let nature take care a the li'l shits.

[soru]

I'm afraid I can't just do that.

[Video]

[soru]

No, sir, as you can no doubt hear.

I don't suppose I can wheedle you into taking one or two, could I?

[Grunts.]

Hang on a sec.

[Sets the communicator on top of something and bites his shitty brother on the head.]

Unfortunately for you, the young woman helping me out at work has more common sense than either of us and insisted on allowing only two.

It's not really the best place for them anyway, since we have to keep moving all the heavy metal equipment.

[om_nom_namur]

[That shouldn't make him grin but it does. And there's a full on scuffle now. Steel your heart and your nerves, Coby. The communicator gets knocked to the floor, but kind of on its side, so he gets some rather nice, up close and personal shots of a shark type fishman repeatedly sinking his teeth into a man made of fire.

And also probably the occasional wet willy.]

[orangeoutlaw]

[he'll bite you right back! Even if his teeth aren't as sharp! It's the principle of the thing! Also have a double dorsal clap. Two hands. One dorsal. Right in the fleshy part]

[om_nom_namur]

[OUCH YOU JERK THAT'S TENDER IN THE FLESHY PARTS]

[Just for that you get a headbutt.]

[orangeoutlaw]

[stars. Man for not much head it sure is hard! He'll just stick his fingers up your nose then! Ha!]

[om_nom_namur]

[Damn it Ace he's trying to have a nice conversation with a tryhard Marine boy, is that so much to ask?]

[orangeoutlaw]

[oh right.

You saw nothing. No Ace here.

Also, dude, your nose is gross.

He wipes the snot on the carpet and then shoves Namur off him to head to the kitchen. Doop de doop de doop]

[ to anyone else, the fact that coby can even hear the knocks over the ongoing cacophony is nothing short of a miracle, even moreso considering how the entire mass, at once, seems to go absolutely wild. it's a very near miss. the path from his perch near the window to the door itself is a perilous one, made even more so by the growing agitation of the assembled.

thank goodness the door opens inwards, isn't it?

thank goodness the door has a chain. ]

Joseph? [ this, coming before the door is even open enough to peek out of. he doesn't so much as say it as he does yell. ]

[Video]

[soru]

I understand. If you know anyone else who could possibly help, that would be great.

[ heck ]

[justicereigns]

Make Portgas deal with them. He's the one who hates the cages so much.

[soru]

[ wonderful, just wonderful. this is the cherry on top of the gongshow that this day is becoming.

heck ]

[Video]

[soru]

He won't listen to me. [ have you overheard our conversations? we're not on the best of terms right now, bucko ]

[Video]

[justicereigns]

[He has not. Most of your conversations were in person, and his eavesdropping skills aren't on par with Enel.]

Put them all inside one of his brother's apartments.

[soru]

I'm not very enthused about the possibility of inviting more of their ire on my head, sir.
