[dogs. dogs everywhere. Genessia, Attleton, Nova City, Everglades, Fayren, wherever there is a pound or animal shelter, they've been sprung from them and are now baying through the streets or sleeping on doorsteps or rummaging through trash.

Through Genessia proper though, there is a pack of them, charging through the streets, baying excitedly. In the middle of them is one shirtless hat less pirate, rolling along on a skateboard despite the fact that his hands are cuffed behind him. At intervals, he'll throw back his head and howl as he goes along]

[a little later, he's sitting against a wall, breathless and excited, comm propped between his knees as he grins wildly at the camera though it, dogs sleeping all around him and a pooped pug on his head, snoring upside down with her legs twitching in the air]

Yo! I'm here. I'm back. Anyone got food? Or a key? Marco? Namur? Adela? [his grin widens] Taisa? Come find me. I'm free.


[Locked to whoever is in Namur's apartment]

[at some point, at Namur's apartment, this same certain pirate may be seen sleeping against the outside of the window, as if he was trying to jimmy it open with his teeth and conked out during the attempt]

[Dray heard the dogs's ruckus from a mile ago an he quickly climbed the nearest tree. He hisses at the dogs in anger and disgust, fur standing up when they keep howling and barking excitedly.]

GO AWAY!

[Ace, keep your mutts at bay, they're scaring the kitty.]

[aww poor guy]

SIT. [the dogs sit, some in mid run and go skidding on their butts. Ace comes to a stop in front of the tree and looks up at the guy]

Sorry, they won't hurt you. They're just happy.

[Dogs are mean and want to gnaw on his precious fur, says Dray ;w;

Well at least Ace has things mostly under control. Dray can't help but snort and the dogs that stop so suddenly they end flailing around. Such simple creatures.]

Uh huh. Happy to bite me, that's it. [Dray's not leaving the safety of his tree but at least he stopped hissing.] Where did you get that many dogs? Why would anybody need so many?

Action | Genessia

[orangeoutlaw]

They're not going to bite you! I just told you they were happy. [so rude]

I let them out from the shelter. We're taking a walk.

[mother_of_monsters]

Happy dogs still bite out of excitement! Specially if one looks at chew-able as I do. [Dray swings his tails around, fur ruffled.]

Shelter? What's that?

[orangeoutlaw]

I'm going to chew on you in a second. [don't insult his friends! They're well-trained]

Um...it's a place where dogs can go to get food and stuff if they don't have anyone in particular looking after them.

[mother_of_monsters]

[Dray huffs at that, smirking.] Do you say that to all the beautiful people you met? You could buy me a drink first.

[His friends are evil spawns, in Dray's cat-like opinion.]

I didn't know that was a thing. Why can't dogs just live outside and take care of themselves? It's what they do in my world, like the rest of creatures. Unless they're very young and small.

[orangeoutlaw]

It won't be that kind of biting. [he's not into you, bro. Sorry.]

Because people want to take care of them. Just because you don't doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

[mother_of_monsters]

I won't accept any other. [His loss, Dray thinks.] And I could bite you back.

[He opens his mouth to show Ace his very large, very pointy fangs. He's not Trying to be menacing, actually, just showing that he's not as helpless as his fluffy exterior makes it look.]

This is how you take care of them? letting them run around harassing poor felines like me? You should take them to the forest, where they can play and chase squirrels instead.

[orangeoutlaw]

Yeah? You might find me too hot to handle. [a beat] Just not right now. [because that'd hurt!]

Sure. That's a great idea. Wanna come along?

[mother_of_monsters]

Oh? how so? [Now you got the kitty curious. He flickers his ears, looks at the dogs, then back at Ace.]

Fine. But only because I live there and I was already going home. Just make sure to keep the most enthusiastic mutts away from me. My name is Dray.

[orangeoutlaw]

If I can get these cuffs off I can show you. [just now he can't though]

Ace. And I guess they like you. [though he might keep one or two off him that wants to bite his butt even if he'd be amused]

[mother_of_monsters]

I can help you with that. [Dray raises a hand, claws extending from the tips of his fingers.] I can cut through diamond, I'm sure a pair of metal cuff won't be that difficult.

[Unless they're made of Gripahr, a special metal in his world, but he doubts it.]

Shoo the dogs away for a moment so I can get down there, then turn around.

[orangeoutlaw]

Nah, I'm good.

[he'll get them off sooner or later and he doesn't really like this guy too much so-- it's fine. Worst that can happen is he'll fall asleep]

[mother_of_monsters]

How could you be good? You're tied up.

[Wow, rude Ace. he was trying to be nice.]
