I've been thinking about what I said before, about you being a bad dog.

[He lets this sit for a moment - he does not, however, retract his statement.]

I've got a treat for you.

fetchthestick July 5 2009, 07:38:03 UTC

M'not a bad dog Master Tallsin an'Mister Xana always said I was good an' they're my owners.

...

[He drools a little though.]

Yeah?

talkback_stein July 5 2009, 07:40:33 UTC

Yeah.

[Griiiin. There's the sound of a wrapper crinkling a little over the comm - ooooh, how enticing~!]

You like people food, Thom...?

askdfhaksjdfh that icon fetchthestick July 5 2009, 07:48:55 UTC

I... I...

Yeah...

[Thom mostly eats people food actually, but there's something Really Special about being given what a master's eating. It always meant he was being treated real nice and it was usually different from what he was fed. Zenrenthi had different foods after all.]

Iiiii gotta help Kevas with th'fish first he's right here but um but m-maybe after...?

you just know that he's up to no good talkback_stein July 5 2009, 07:55:41 UTC

Whenever you want it, Thom; the park on deck three.

[Click.]

GEE HOW DID I GUESS fetchthestick July 5 2009, 08:09:31 UTC

[After the fishing adventure, Thom races up to 3. He slows, suddenly cautious, as he hits the target zone of the park.

Oleg said Chase was bad. Chase had called him bad and had seemed mean. But Chase had a treat. Maybe he wasn't mad anymore?

He would just... be careful. He could always run away like Firs'Mate Kage said.]

... H'llo?

idk talkback_stein July 5 2009, 19:47:38 UTC

Heeeey, boy.

[Chase was just wandering around, hands stuffed in his pockets - wondering if the little guy would show up, actually. He was getting a little peckish and impatient, but he could hear that adorable little puppy scamper coming a mile away.]

[He smiled a hollow little smile and crouched, beckoning the little dog over.]

>.> fetchthestick July 5 2009, 20:22:44 UTC

[Thom licks his muzzle nervously. Or maybe that's just the drool.

He approaches very, very carefully, hovering just out of grabbing range. That smile sets off all his warning bells. It reminded him of the scary lady from Carnival.

But it's a TREAT..... Treats are never bad.]

You... don' think I'm bad anymore?

|D talkback_stein July 6 2009, 03:44:40 UTC

[Smiiile.]

C'mon--

[Carefully avoiding that subject of Bad Dog, Chase reaches into his hoodie pocket and pulls out that noisy wrapper. He assumes that - because the little guy is a dog - Thom cannot read, just as he assumes that Thom is colour blind or can't look up. He snaps off a piece of the "treat" and holds it out for Thom.]

I'm not gonna' hurt you.

[If Thom can read, however, he'd see that the wrapper clearly says HERSHEY'S...]

;A; fetchthestick July 6 2009, 03:57:11 UTC

[Thom can read. He's not got the faintest idea what Hershey's or chocolate is, though.

Oh, Chase isn't going to hurt him? That's okay then. He's still a little cautious as he comes up closer, nose twitching, but not QUITE so paranoid. He'll still bolt if Chase grabs for him.

... what IS that smell? He blinks at the wrapper.]

What's... "Her-shey?"

talkback_stein July 6 2009, 04:05:07 UTC

[Chase blinks back. Dogs aren't supposed to be able to read.]

Just a... stupid name. Here--

[He sets it on the floor then slides it over to the ickle puppy. Can you resist it now, Thom?]

fetchthestick July 6 2009, 04:12:31 UTC

[This dog uses the comm, Chase. And talks. And you might or might have noticed he has opposeable thumbs, though you probably haven't seen him walk on his hind legs yet.]

Ooh!

[Thom dives nose-first for the chocolate. It's a rich, deep dark color, and it smells quite amazing.

He takes an experimental lick.

OH MY GOD.

Chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp gulp slurp Chase gave him SO MUCH!!!]

Th... thank you for the treat Mister Chase!

[Mumbling around chunks of chocolate stuck in his teeth. Lick lick lick nom nom.]

talkback_stein July 6 2009, 04:21:41 UTC

Liked that, didn'tcha?

[Ah, details - Thom looked like a dog, acted like a dog, so he was just a dog to Chase. He laughs, then reaches out experimentally to scritch behind Thom's ear? Is Thom okay with that?]

Want some more, boy...?

[Chocolate, being incredibly toxic for dogs due to containing theobromine - in high amounts in the darker kinds, like what Chase had here - was probably not the best "treat" for little Thom, but that was the entire point. If the pup poisons himself on it, why should he be assed to care?]

[The little runt left him in Carnival.]

fetchthestick July 6 2009, 04:34:02 UTC

[Thom jumps a little in paranoia, but Chase doesn't try to grab him or hurt him, so he lets the scritching happen. Feels pretty good actually, so he relaxes just a bit more.]

I can have more??

[Thom will totally eat as much theobromine as Chase has got.

He's going to be a very sick little puppy.]

talkback_stein July 6 2009, 05:02:54 UTC

Here---

[He sets down the entire chocolate bar and rubs Thom on the ruff of the neck. Attaboy.]

[If this doesn't kill him...]

Eat up.

fetchthestick July 6 2009, 05:24:03 UTC

[Thom proceeds to gorge himself.

He's a bit bigger than your average puppy - about 50lbs - so it will take more theobromine to do it, but it's dark chocolate so...]
