[There's no video feed, but the audio feed comes on to someone muttering under their breath a little before sighing and addressing the network at large.]

...Right then, here's a question for you lot. Say you arrived here a bit ago, and a small and foul creature immediately took to following you around. And then you did something completely, entirely stupid, such as misplacing your bracelet and going about without it, and you think you may have gotten all pal-like with the smelly little thing during that bout of idiocy, and now it won't go away. Hypothetically speaking, how would you keep it from barking in the middle of the night and what would you, um, feed it?

Hypothetically speaking, of course!

[And then there is the sound of an enthusiastic bark in the background.]

Oh, shut up. No one asked you!

Congratulations on a life of responsibility for another living being.

I'm sorry, you must have meant "my condolences."

Oh! Oh! I know! I know the answer to this one!

Dog food!

audio

[upholsteredvelvet]

Yes, but what actually goes into dog food? Is it actually healthy? I'd rather he ate well than deal with him being more smelly and disgusting than he is by default.

Ah! I see!

So that hound has taken a liking to you, has it?

[upholsteredvelvet]

Not really much of a hound, is it?

[The puppy perks up once it sees Rider, though! Bark bark bark bark wag wag wag!]

It depends, on what sort of animal it is. But, for the barking, you could get a bed for it, in your room. Sometimes, they bark because they're lonely, and want attenton.

[There's a notable pause before he replies, because there is a bogeyman talking to him.]

Er. That's not a bad suggestion, actually.

[true_renaissance_man]

So you found a dog? How lucky!

I think I would try to play with the animal very well before bed that way it would be worn out and ready to rest when you were. As for food, I think they may actually sell cans full of food for dogs?

[upholsteredvelvet]

I don't think it's lucky at all, and I've tried that; the little bugger is a constant energy generator. I'm beginning to suspect it never sleeps.

[Goodness knows he doesn't get to!]

As to the canned food, I'd rather not if I don't know what's actually in it.

[ Doge. ]

Poultry, perhaps?

...I suppose chicken wouldn't be bad...

[Now here comes Tyki make references that are not a dog. He's speaking of Allen Walker.] Well, I can tell you that if you get a little runt following you around you either have to take care of it or get rid of it, permently.

But since the latter isn't really an option at the moment, you just have to give it a lot of kindness. Heh, my 'little problem' tends to lurk at a distance.

audio

[upholsteredvelvet]

...You have a 'little problem', as well?

[Seriously? Who let all the dogs out?]

[unhappymeal]

Still around, is it? I see your sense of responsibility is growing after all.

audio;

[upholsteredvelvet]

Th-that's not--!

[BUSTED. It's a good thing his face isn't showing, because it's bright red now.]

I just haven't managed to get rid of it yet!

[gandrtails]

You don't know how to feed a dog?

[ is this kid serious?? ]

Give it dog food.

audio;

[upholsteredvelvet]

Haven't you ever stopped and wondered what, exactly, they put in dog food? Obviously it doesn't just pop into existence and go "hello, then! I'm dog food!"

[ a beat ]

You train it while it's young and feed it milk and meat. Is your beast wolf or dog?

audio

[upholsteredvelvet]

Dog.

...And it isn't mine!

audio.

[empowers]

... I wouldn't do any of that. I'd find it somewhere else to go. It's another mouth to feed, and if it's a loud one, it's probably not worth it.

audio.

[upholsteredvelvet]

I've tried getting it to go bother someone else, but he's just not interested, for some odd reason.

[Did not try very hard.]

audio;

[occulthymns]

Don't be mean to it, for starters! Calling it smelly won't make it like you any more.

audio;

[upholsteredvelvet]

Getting it to like me less would be ideal.
