[Dug is lying on the steps of the Academy's main entrance this afternoon, head between his paws, staring out toward the horizon with a rather forlorn look on his face.

He's here to help. That's why he was recruited-to help the students learn how to track in spite of their unfortunate human-ness, and help the faculty if and when anyone else ( Read more... )

[Jane was eagerly on her way to get to the library for a few hours of study, but she had to stop when she heard the whining of a dog.

Upon finding him, she sits down beside him and gives his head a pat.]

What's the matter, boy? Are you all right?

[Tailwag! Dug is always pleased to see you, Jane. Even when he is a sad puppy.]

I am worried, Jane. People are missing.

Oh. Y-yes... I've heard as well.

[Gives him another pet.]

Don't fret, boy. Most people who vanish come back. Miss Lottie did. As did Miss Elisa, and several other people.

[It's still terrible though.]

[Dug is not the brightest of creatures, but he does pick up on Jane's use of the word "most." He give her worried doggy eyes.]

Most?

Well... from what I've heard.

Oh.

I wish to go look for them. Do you think there will be a search party?

Perhaps...

I believe that whenever someone has gone missing in the past, there have always been people who go to retrieve them. But it's terribly dangerous.

That is true, yes. But we must face danger if we want them back!

[DRAMATIC DOGGY POSE.]

I... suppose that's true too. That's what brave soldiers do, after all.

[That's what... daddy is doing.]

Yes.

And I am very brave. My pack sent me off on special missions all the time!

But the mist is quite frightening, boy.
[She gives him another pet, unable to bear the thought of such a cute dog being lost in that nightmarish mist.]

It would at least be best to prepare yourself before going into it, the way soldiers train before going into battle.

[Dug nods, thinking.]

There will be a search party. And I will go with them.

[A sad look, along with another pet.]

...do be careful, boy.

[AW JANE. Do not look sad. Here, let Dug fix it with a big FACE LICK!]

I will!

very_practical April 7 2011, 22:23:18 UTC
Oh! Goodness!

[Despite her worry, how can she not break into a smile after that? Big hug for Dug!]

You are just too sweet, boy.
