[The video feed shows-- for those who know it-- the living room of the Super Secret Firehouse. It's empty for the moment, but one can hear muffled yips in the background. Jack's voice is first.]

Attention, Newcomers of Siren's Port! I think there's a goddman epidemic goin' on here! First Jinx, and now--

Stoppit, hold-- [It's a mutter at first,

[Yorick finally springs from Sirius' shirt, looking harassed, and begins whining pitifully. He races away when Jack kneels down, though, and he rolls his eyes.]

How's your stomach?

[He laughs.]

I just couldn't think o' any-- here, how about Big Dipper, we'll stick to your family's namin' tradition.

[THE BIGGEST SIGH.]

Ursa Major.

[cowboy_newsie]

Ursa is a stupid name. So's Major, she'll think she's in the army. Let's just call it Horatio, eh?

ACTION;

[atrumcanis]

What, darling Whore?

ACTION;

[cowboy_newsie]

That'd be his-slash-her nickname.

ACTION;

[atrumcanis]

And to think, a few months back, you were insisting that we refrain from calling our dog Whore-ratio. What has become of you, Jack Kelly!

ACTION;

[cowboy_newsie]

You, darlin', you happened. You finally broke me down.

ACTION;

[atrumcanis]

Shocking. Shocking, absolutely shocking! What would your mum say!

ACTION;

[cowboy_newsie]

Mine! What about yours! I don't think swotty rich boys are supposed to know about whores.

ACTION;

[atrumcanis]

You clearly don't know very much about swotty rich boys, mate. We have to have something to distract us from our unattainable rich fiances.

Anyway, we already know mine hates me, she's been disappointed in me for ages. Yours is the one who matters here!

ACTION;

[cowboy_newsie]

My-- oh, right, mothers. Anyway, we'll just tell her the name is Horatio and won't mention no nickname!

ACTION;

[atrumcanis]

Yeah, but we'll ruin that lie. We'll slip up when calling her for dinner, we'll say, oi, Whore, and then what! We'll have a whore-named-daughter, and your mum will dislike us!

ACTION;

[cowboy_newsie]

She'll just be mad a while, that's all, she could never dislike us.

ACTION;

[atrumcanis]

You're saying she would still approve of you after you gave her a granddaughter named Whore.

ACTION;

[cowboy_newsie]

She loves me that much.
