murder --5; video

[heltersskelter]

[the video clicks on to a view of the shuttle bay. gee that is a nice shuttle bay, real big and full of ships that's cool. until you notice what else is there. namely an enormous fucking dog that's snuffing around the base of one of the shuttles.]

I found a dog.

[Tate states as the behemoth of an animal seems to just disappear into a patch of shadows for a moment. it could be a trick of the eye, it's hard to tell, but when it shows up again it's face is all but in the camera.

she gives Tate a wary look when he reaches a palm out to her, before snuffing distastefully and trotting off again.]

It's kind of temperamental. I'm pretty sure it wasn't here before since, you know, it's the size of a horse and I don't think anyone would have missed that. Anyway someone should come and get it before it starts chewing on one of the bikes or something.

[ And here's Carolyn from... elsewhere in the shuttle bay. ]

That thing needs to get out of here before it breaks something.

[well at least it is big. he may or may not have been here spying on you ]

It might have already.

[he's looking off screen, and there's a loud scraping noise. it might be moving a shuttle it's hard to tell.]

That thing answers to Mrs. O'Leary, and that should be enough to calm her down. Ask her to sit.

That's not a dog. That's a Wookie on four legs.

[heltersskelter]

It doesn't sound like a wookie.

I always wondered what mortals saw when they looked at her. [ and if he sounds put-off by the POV, it's because he is. ]

[cons]

[ it's so FLUFFY. which is the only reason why she's talking to you Tate since you still make her nervous, sob. ]

Wow, shit. I wonder what that thing eats.

I also wonder if you can ride it. Temperament aside.

[player_not_slayer]

Hey, don't steal my ideas.

[HE TOTALLY THOUGHT ABOUT RIDING IT FIRST]

[heltersskelter]

Probably teenagers.

[ripstides]

Hamburger meat. Gigantic dog treats. Anything she can chew on.

[ B( ]

There's no way you're riding my dog, Wichita. Not unless she wants you to.

Better a dog than a turkey.

Shit, that fucker looks big enough to ride.

[heltersskelter]

why would it be better than a turkey?

i dare you to try.

she bites.

[ wow yeah, Simon, that really is the only warning he's giving. ]

[the_vishual]

Talk to it! Talk to it, maybe it'll listen!

[heltersskelter]

I don't think it likes me very much.

[he laughs, despite himself.]

[talkstoengines]

Well ain't that a big dog! I bet he just needs some friendliness, and he'll mellow right out. Don't he belong to anyone?

video;

[heltersskelter]

I think so. It doesn't look like anything that belongs to this ship.

permatext.

[culver]

[guess who loves dogs]

Very big dog.

permatext.

[heltersskelter]

really huge. enormous.

[sharp]

[ yeaaah, she's still trying to figure out if it is actually a dog. ]

'Kaaay. Well, what I want to know is where are all these animals even coming from? Are we a zoo now?

video;

[heltersskelter]

Dunno. They tag along with the people that show up here sometimes.

—Mrs. O'Leary?

[ this is the shocked and sputtering disbelief of a teenager that had more or less accepted that his friends were going to stay home. and then maybe he's grinning but trying to hide it. ]

That's nothing. If you think that's gigantic, you should see what she looked like at home. I don't know what happened but she's regularly the size of those shuttles she's standing by. [ the camera view jumps some, shifting, as his surroundings change - from hurrying through a door and into the halls. ]

[luckily Tate doesn't really care about the video, because once it spins out of control his attention is back on the dog.]

Mrs O'Leary huh?

[but she seemed to perk right up at hearing Percy's voice.]

It's probably a good thing she isn't that big. Where would you put her?

video.

[paracosmic]

[she's seen dogs, but .... what?]

Are you going to keep it?

video.

[heltersskelter]

Nah, she belongs to someone else. I totally would, though, I could probably feed her my enemies.

[redhotsummers]

[There is a low chuckle, and then]

Looks like you found a buddy, Tate.

voice;

[heltersskelter]

I don't think she likes me much.

[jilt]

[ seriously. ]

My, my. Such a variety of animal life on this ship.

[heltersskelter]

Personally I don't think it bodes well.
