genessia | action /video

[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]

Yeah. Girl could use some positive attention.

[ ~~We all want things from life, Ace.~~ Grin turns into a more wry smirk. ]

Sure. A party.

[ And it looks like they're at that shelter! Or near enough, anyway, that Shinjiro can see the sign. ]

[he grins back and then sees the shelter and stops, going to hide in a shadowy alcove, the pack of dogs following him happily]

I'll wait here. [since they were dropping her off, weren't they? That was alright, he'd memorized the place so he could easily pick her up again. And he'd even pay this time]

[ Nods, and then heads inside.

It's a while before he heads out again, looking pensive and a little sad, hands in pockets.

He's not sure if Ace will be waiting for him or not. That's all right. He'd give him a call later, if the guy already scampered.

Considering he'd let loose what looked like all of the dogs in Genessia, he wouldn't be surprised. ]

[he grins as the guy comes out again and shoulder checks him in a friendly way]

Welcome back! [and then more sober] What'd they say?

(( ooc: researching the causes and treatments for mange in dogs while I'm at work is one of the weirdest things I've done for RP ))

[ Shrugs ]

She's definitely got mange. It's kinda all over, that's why she's pretty hairless. And, yanno. Explains the smell.

[ Hunches a little ] Which could mean a whole lotta things, 'parently. They're gonna see if it's just her diet that's givin her shit, or if it's somethin more serious.

But. S'long as it's not somethin terrible or nothin, she should be fine. Eventually.

They're gonna call me when they know.

I. Uh. Didn't think I should give out your name and number, considerin.

Thanks. I owe you one.

[he doesn't know why but he feels he does in his gut so that's how it's going to be. It's just nice to see a guy of his word who cares for something so small and shivery]

Alright! Let's go get a drink!

[ The offer catches him off-guard, but he smirks, takes it in stride after only a moment. ]

Sure. Why the hell not.

Where d'ya have in mind?

Anywhere! Your favorite if you got one. So long as they give straws. [because he could stick his face right in it but it's not fun getting booze up your nose on accident]

'M not picky. [ Nor did he drink much. ] I don't know this city too well yet, anyway.

[on the board again then but keeping the other guy's pace]

There's a great one this way. Sort of a hole in the wall. Kind of rough but if you can headbutt someone, they'll leave you alone.

[he enjoys it]

[ Raises an eyebrow. Ace says that as if Shinji doesn't already headbutt jerks. ]

Sounds like my kinda place.

Lead the way.
