[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!

[ Just glances to his dog, who glances back in that trademark slow stare. ]

[vigilanteup]

Congratulations on a life of responsibility for another living being.

[upholsteredvelvet]

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

[vigilanteup]

It's not that bad.

[ Says the guy who just posted joking about getting rid of his. ] You might like his slobbery, always excited to see you countenance.

And hose him down if he needs a bath.

audio

[upholsteredvelvet]

I've got a king with much the same disposition, so really, I'd say it's overkill.

...Not a bad suggestion about the hose, though. On both counts.

audio

[vigilanteup]

[ Laughs ]Don't let your king hear you say that.

Is it a big mutt?

audio

[upholsteredvelvet]

Ah, fair point. And no, he's actually quite small and a bit googly-eyed, I think.

audio

[vigilanteup]

Then he shouldn't be that much of a problem. Just gotta train him.

audio

[upholsteredvelvet]

Mm, about that. I've never dealt with dogs before, unless it was to run from them, so I've no idea how to go about it.

[holyfight]

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

Dog food!

[getinthechariot]

Ah! I see!

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

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.

[fiduspear]

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.

[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!]

audio

[upholsteredvelvet]

[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.

audio

[vigilanteup]

They're easier than cats. Just give them attention, and make them stop when they're doing things you don't want them to.

audio

[upholsteredvelvet]

...

What if he's always doing things I don't want him to?

[caladvwlch]

[ Doge. ]

Poultry, perhaps?

[true_renaissance_man]

Is the animal a puppy? They are constantly into things and they do love to explore. A new dog does take some getting used to.

[Even if the action could not be seen over the audio feature Leonardo nodded slightly when the food was mentioned.]

Capisco. I do not know what they put into those cans either. The idea is still very new to me, but food for humans is also stored in cans so it could not be too bad.

[(I understand.)]

audio;

[upholsteredvelvet]

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

[upholsteredvelvet]

He's either a puppy or a terribly small and unimpressive breed; I'm not sure which.

[Having another living thing other than his rat around at all takes some getting used to, but Waver doesn't say as much.]

And, well. To be quite honest, I wouldn't wish canned food on people I dislike either.

[true_renaissance_man]

Maybe some one who knows more about dogs would be able to tell you which it is.

No? I was under the impression it was the best way to store food since it lasts longer that way and is more portable. It is what they keep in the emergency kits.

[caladvwlch]

That is what we fed our hunting hounds where I hail from.

Rabbits as well.
