I'm doing science and I'm still alive!

There's a dog on the Main Gauche grounds. You may choose to ask where it came from, but it might be safer not to. You may also choose to question why it's blinking out of existence at random to appear a few metres away, or whose underwear it's carrying in its teeth, or how it could have got hold of them

Logan's fond of dogs. Her best friend is Missy, after all. If it were her underwear, she'd be less amused, but as it is, she kind of thinks the thing's cute. She's crouching down a little a few metres from it, whistling a little.

"Hey there, puppy. Where did you come from?"

[war_rani]

The dog glances over to her, makes a noise less like woof more like wouk, and continues on its way. Sort of. A step or two later it vanishes, and then there's a cool nose nudging into Logan's arm.

[sauntereddown]

Logan grins and reaches out, offering her hand for a moment without any fear that it might, say, take it off before scratching the dog behind the ears. "Hello. Just to clarify, you're not a person in there, are you?" Hey, only fair and prudent to ask. Especially in Chicago.

The dog wags its tail, but with no sign of comprehending. After a second and a few scritches it teleports away again, pausing by a tree in a play crouch, tail still wagging.

Not a person. Just a very strange teleporting dog with unmentionables hanging from its teeth.

Well, this is strangely familiar...

No, really. After a few years of dealing with Toons, the dog holding the underwear that just appeared several feet away really isn't all that special.

Doom frowns thoughtfully, wondering if he can get close enough-

BAMF

And suddenly he is, much to his shock.

[war_rani]

The dog yarks, hopping away from Judge Doom and scurrying toward the door. Then it blinks out of existence and comes back behind Doom, still scurrying, but toward a set of bushes.

It'd almost be stealthy, were it not for the fact that a large dog scurrying makes a considerable amount of noise.

[urfinaljudgment]

Doom watches the dog vanish, then hears it running off somewhere behind him. Well, now...

If it wasn't obvious before, it is now - this is no ordinary dog. Strangely enough, he's actually happy about it - chasing this dog gives him something to do that's pretty close to what he was doing before he Crossed. And if he can get whatever happened before to happen again... He focuses on the area between the bushes and the dog, and after a moment-

BAMF

Teleport tag, anyone?

It's been a while, so Ray has to blink when people and dogs start popping in and out of mid-air.

...was he supposed to see that? Do people do this often, or is this something he's supposed to ignore? For the moment he's just...staring, sitting on one of the benches with his journal open on his knees.

He likes dogs. Makes him wish he had a biscuit...

[war_rani]

The blink dog is still cavorting, teleporting here and there, and finally hops to a spot a few meters from a tree (and not that far from Ray), scrabbling furiously at the ground. It's got a pair of underwear, now it's gonna BURY them. Boy oh boy, don't that sound fun!

[carmine_the_red]

He jumps slightly in his seat as the dog pops up right in front of him. Ray hurriedly pockets the journal just in case Fido decides he wants to bury something else.

"Whatcha got there, boy?"

Wait a minute...

"HEY!"

Why can't it just steal socks like other dogs?

"DROPPIT!"

Amber's been just hanging out, tuning her guitar beneath one of the trees that's still standing, when she notices a dog. Okay, yeah, dog. It happens.

Then she notices what the dog's got in it's mouth.

Underwear. Bright blue. With little daisies on. Very, very familiar.

Oh HELL no. How's that even possible?

"Hey there, boy! C'mere! You've got my..." She looks around sudddenly, and lowers her voice to a whisper. "You've got my underwear, understand? They're mine. Give 'em here, okay?"

She's trying to beckon the dog over. "You want a treat? I... um... dogs don't like tofu, huh? Um."
