[She sounds quite level.]So I've been asking around about that new game that debuted that makes people forget who they are and sticks them someplace new. You all know what I'm talking about? The horror game

Do you seriously want a skeleton dog? Sounds kinda creepy, if you ask me.

[payback]

You know... I like dogs, and it would probably be a lot easier to keep than a regular dog.

[tinderfoot]

Wouldn't it smell?

[payback]

I don't think there's much meat on it?

[tinderfoot]

Well, duh, of course not! It's a skeleton, isn't it? That means it's probably dead or something.

[payback]

Right. I don't think bones really smell.

[tinderfoot]

What are you gonna do if it does?

[payback]

I don't think it will amount to something that matters much, since someone else probably picked up the dog.

But if I get him and it does, I'll probably come up with something ingenious, like hanging something nice-smelling around its neck.

[tinderfoot]

Is that really 'ingenious'? Sounds like a half-hearted attempt to patch up a glaringly obvious problem.

[payback]

Well you sound like you're making a hearty effort to make up a problem that might not even exist.

[tinderfoot]

I'm not making it up!

[payback]

It's hardly as though this dog is dropping off bits!

[tinderfoot]

Dead things smell!

[And then he actually pays attention to what she's saying.]

Oh, yeah, what are you gonna do with its droppings and stuff overnight, too? Or doesn't it need to do its business once it's dead?

[payback]

Are you an idiot or are you just not listening? I already told you I think someone else got this dog!

[tinderfoot]

Well, now that you've got this idea in your mind that you want some kinda pet... these things just come with some responsibility, you know. They're not like Djinn; they can't take care of themselves!

[payback]

Wow, how old do you think I am? You're pretty presumptuous, aren't you? For your information, the reason I don't have a pet right now is because I didn't want to end up leaving this place and leaving one behind!
