Seventh Hacking

[evers_hacker]

[Anybody who walks into the park will stumble across a rather odd sight. There's a dog running around the park chasing leaves, bugs, small animals and maybe the occasional drone child and he will be tripping over himself in excitement as he does so. And the dog happens to be completely made out of electricity. His owner is watching from her seat

[So. Casimiro has chosen this day to practice his kick (since relatively little kept him occupied in this town) when his ball is intercepted by an electric mutt. Torn between anger and confusion, he just stares at it. And then said mutt runs at his leg.]

Aurgh-! Get off!

[bethebetterman]

[He becomes a little distracted watching the dog, and when it gets close enough, he nudges the ball a short distance to see if it would fetch again.]

How?

[evers_hacker]

[And fetch he does! And he'll be waiting for Casimiro to do it again. April is meanwhile, thinking of how to answer the question, since she kinda made him out of the blue.]

Ummm, I just made some electricity in the shape of a dog and got it to move around and act like one...

[bethebetterman]

[Oh yeah, because it's that simple. Never minding his twenty questions which remain, he looks down and kicks the ball off again, watching the dog run.]

Pretty efficient. Bet you don't gotta feed it or anything. You name it?

[evers_hacker]

[In April's mind it is, she's not even entirely sure how she did it.]

Mmhm. His name's Franklin. [She still doesn't understand the meaning behind the name cuz orz, what is history. Franklin charges back ,and in his excitement knocks over a drone child and his parent. April once again starts laughing.]

[bethebetterman]

Franklin. [A brief pause.] Ahah. Clever.

[Oh dear, that display might've been the funniest thing he's seen all day, especially because it came at the expense of some drones. And he's laughing too. Okay dog, you have redeemed yourself.]

[evars_hacker]

[Franklin drops the ball in front of Casimiro, looking pretty damn happy cuz everybody was laughing! And is totally unaware of how the drone parent is now yelling at April to keep that dog on a lead. She gives them a guilty grin and stands up, Casimiro may possibly see a bit of her leg brace as she does so, and yells a "Sorry!" at them.

Of course, the moment they leave, April snickers again.]

[bethebetterman]

Good boy. Very good! [Congratulations Franklin, you have won Casimiro's favor and a couple more pets. He kicks the ball again in another direction and looks to April.]

I know the dog's name, so what about yours?

[evers_hacker]

[Fuck yeah, Franklin looks absolutely gleeful as he fetches the ball. April is still laughing a bit when Casimiro asks her the question.]

Ah, my name's April! [Franklin drops the ball in front of Casimiro again, although this time it looks as though he went bush diving if the twigs stuck on him are any indication, but Franklin doesn't notice this. April shakes her head at him and smiles as she walks over.]

[bethebetterman]

April, huh. I'm Casimiro.

[He takes the ball back under foot, and snickers a bit from the new twig fashion Franklin was sporting.]

Looks like I stole your dog for long enough. I should get goin'.

[evers_hacker]

Nice to meet you, Casimiro.

[What the hell April stop being nice to assholes. Franklin pouts at Casimiro when he takes the ball under his foot but looks confused when he snickers at him. Only when April crouches down and removes a twig does he let the rest fall just through him.]

Mmm, we should probably be heading back soon too. [Franklin gives a loud whine at this, he wanted to chase and knock down more things~.]

[bethebetterman]

Likewise.

[Hey, he wasn't an asshole all the time. He did have to sleep. He balanced the ball on his foot, then bopped it up to his knee and caught it.]

Sorry Franky, will of the creator an' all. [And he looked to April with a sharp grin.] Guess I'll be seein' you around.

[evars_hacker]

[April gives her own grin in reply, although hers is far more friendly.] Yep, I'll see you later.

[Franklin gives another bark and charges on ahead while April follows behind at a more leisurely pace.]
