[Jack appears on the feed, a little red in the face and frazzled-looking, his hair standing on end from running his fingers through it. He's got a basket in his hand, and inside are four wriggling puppies

[grumbling] I told you not t'leave the damn thing in the closet.

[kindly_done]

You told me after I already had, though. I just didn't want her to get into anything dangerous.

[worldentire]

[grumbles, sets the pup in his hand back down on his lap] This is ridiculous.

[kindly_done]

You're telling me. I didn't exactly go looking to be the proud owner of a pack of dogs.

[She stares up at the camera with her yellow eyes in awe. She's always wanted a puppy but her mommy wouldn't let her have one until she was all grown up.]

Puppies! There were lots of sleeping kitties in Rapture, Mister Jack, but no puppies.

[She's rather excited over this.]

Mister Jack? May I have a puppy please? I'll look after it and I'll call it Mister Bubbles number two and it'll look after me!

[kindly_done]

Well, you're a little young to have one on your own...but I suppose I could check in and make sure it got training and...whatever else Sinclair said they need.

Okay, but remember, it's a big job, and...

[He struggles to put this in a way she'll understand, then grins suddenly as he comes up with it.]

It'll be like you're the puppy's Mister Bubbles. It's your your job to take care of it and keep it safe, and make sure it has a warm place to sleep and plenty to eat. And there are other things, too. I can help you.

Does that mean I have to call me Mister Bubbles and the puppy Cindy? Because I think that might get a bit confusing.

[She furrows her brow and her face crumples in a confused fashion.]

But I can look after it! I promise! And if I can't then I can get Mister Bubbles to help.

[Video]

[kindly_done]

It's better if I help! Mister Bubbles is, um...allergic to dogs.

[Nevermind that Sinclair was in here with a dog in his hands not two hours ago.]

[reckless_eagle]

Like, puppies?

[kindly_done]

Yeahhh. Interested?

[reckless_eagle]

Ohmigod, totally. Like, what kind?

[kindly_done]

I think there's different kinds, do you want to come see?

[demiurgos_girl]

Mm. Those closets seem to have the disturbing ability to make life out of nothing. [She sighs.] I can help.

[kindly_done]

I left Celeste in my closet when I went to...talk with Sinclair, and I guess something got mixed up. I guess she wanted company. I just didn't want her getting into my grenades.

[demiurgos_girl]

Puppies and grenades generally don't mix. [She smiles a bit.] Maybe you should clean up your room, if you're worried about the dog.

[kindly_done]

I'm working on that, too.

[He puts down the basket of puppies, heaves up a two-by-four]

See? Weapon racks.

[in_ocean_depths]

Puppy? What is a puppy?

[kindly_done]

One of these.

[He scruffs a pup and holds it up to the camera.]

[in_ocean_depths]

It's so cute..!

[kindly_done]

They are pretty cute, aren't they. Would you like to come see them?
