first shot ⊗ open: fairy dogs

Who: Anyone who wants to meet the fairy doggos
Which: Open Log
Where: Around the Residential Section
What: Eustace and Nanako had found a little fairy dog family and have taken them back to the Residential section in hopes to better take care them either through individuals taking them in or a community effort. Starts with a journal message and then the log.
Warnings: Extremely adorable things???

Sender: Eustace
To: All
Subject: ATTN: Dogs in the area

Attention everyone. A family of stray...fairy flower dogs were found by the Riverbank and have been brought back to the Residential area to be taken care of. A mother and four pups.

[There is a small image imprinted of how the dogs look like.]

This is not a message seeking for adoption—we do not know as of yet if we are permanent "residents" of this world or if we'll "wake up" and leave it one day without warning. Knowing that, it would be irresponsible to take in a pet without any plans as to what will happen should it find itself ownerless. It's also unknown if these are truly domesticated or if they will return to the forests once they are older. They are docile, but for all intents and purposes they are wild, independent creatures.

That said it would be in their best interest if anyone with any knowledge in animals to take a look into their health as they are currently malnourished. I plan on sharing responsibility in caring for them, but if anyone else wishes to do so and can be responsible for them, then they can be taken in. Ultimately it will be up to the dogs, however it may be better to consider them as "communal" dogs rather than anyone's specifically. Those who are interested in helping may do so and sign a notebook to help keep a log. Those who don't can just ignore them.

I have set up a temporary place of living for them near one of the unclaimed treehouses in an unoccupied area and will be tending to them with Nanako Dojima. If you are interested in seeing them or have any questions, either meet me there or send a message here.

Should any harm come to the dogs, be prepared to face repercussions tenfold.

[Insert a rather straightforward drawing of a map indicating the dogs' location.]

[This is an open log that anyone can start their own threads and mingle around with the pups! No real official prompts, but here are a few things that can be done:]

1. Personalities. The mother is very docile, sweet, and will gladly let anyone take care of her pups because momma needs a break. However, she will go savage on anyone who harms them so. Don't make her appear more like a demon dog with rose thorn whips or something. As for the pups, there are two females and two males. One female is the "alpha" of the group, taking names and taking charge as she just gets into everything. She fears nothing. The next oldest is a male and while a bit more mild mannered, he is very protective and will nip anyone who hurts those they like. Kind of has a hero complex and for some reason favors females. The third is a male who is very, very timid and scared of everything. Music and anyone with calm dispositions will help calm and soothe him. The fourth is a female who is the sweetest, most adorable little girl who just likes to have attention and will respond to commands and wishes very well. Loves to give kisses and will happily play with anyone.

2. Flowers. The flowers on the dogs are a bit random and seem to change by the day, so players are free to have them be whatever they want for their threads. The flowers can also be safely removed, but don't tug too hard as it is part of their coat. But if they are ever threatened or in danger, sharp thorns will start to appear, and the flowers may become more like snapping fly traps that will hurt. Only the mother is capable of creating vine whips.

3. Bathing. Those pups need a bath. Lots of baths. They may have been washed off once, but then their off romping around mud, dirt, glitter—who put the glitter there!? Not to mention only one of the pups is nice enough to be cleaned without fuss, the others just want to play around or try to escape. Good luck.

4. Feeding. It's currently unknown what exactly the dogs like to eat, but so far they seem to favor fruits, flowers, and honey. Candies and anything sweet are their favorite treats, though is it really healthy for them?? As the puppies will tend to explore outside of their "zone," don't be surprised if they appear near other houses or even right in front of someone's face if they're eating something outside.

5. Playtime. Of course these pups will want to play! And after a few days of getting used to the newcomers, they will bond over and try to get anyone to join them to play. They also have toys in their little home for those who choose to visit instead. Maybe there are other ways they can be entertained, like playing with the new bug friends. Just watch out that they don't stray too far or get into trouble!

[That should cover the basics, the rest can be left up to the players, so have fun with it! Technically someone could adopt the dogs, but it would be preferred if they're just able to roam around and stay wherever to allow everyone an opportunity to "keep" or "foster" the dogs if they want. There will be plenty of chances for more doggos. And let's not hurt them, but should anyone try—Eustace will make good on his threat and unleash lightning on their ass. Questions can be asked here.]

Any further questions about the doggos or what could happen can be posted here! Though really just have fun with it.

⊗ a: puppy baths

[If it's one thing these pups are, it's filthy. They were already covered in dirt and grime when they were found, but as pups are wont to do, they romp around in mud and dirt all day. Given their free spirited nature, it's mostly just let go, but enough is enough. Their budding blossoms are completely hidden and if they want to make a good impression on the rest of the group, they need to look clean and not a threat to anyone's homes.

So Eustace has found a large wooden tub and has filled it up with well water. Buckets, towels, and treats have also been set aside. But, well. It goes as expected.]

—Hey!

[Picking up the pup is easy, keeping it in the tub is another. At least one is enjoying splashing around, but the one Eustace is trying to bathe did a bait and switch—acting docile before it decides to pounce him, making him fall back before running off.]

....Little brat...

[He says, but there's a small smile as he watches. How can he be annoyed at seeing such lively pups? But really, with all the water splashed on him, it looks like he had a bath... And it doesn't help that he has the ears to fit in with the group.]

⊗ b: basic training

[It's...probably going to be tough, but it would be good if these pups knew at least a few commands to make everyone's lives easier. So he has a few candied treats in hand as he has all four pups standing in front of him.]

Now, let's do it like I showed you... Sit.

[Immediately two sit, their little blossom tails wagging furiously at the sight of the treats. The other two... One just yawns while the other lies down.]

...That's half...well, more than I expected. [Is this how Ilsa feels when training cadets... Anyway, he tosses the candies at the two who succeeded, but before one of them could catch it, another pup jumps up and steals it. Cue heartrending sobs of the pup who didn't get its treat!!!]

Hey, don't steal from your brother. [Eustace immediately picks up the one who stole the treat and gives her a stern look. But the pup just sticks out her tongue and wriggles free before running away.

....Sigh. This is gonna take a while. Let's just soothe and cuddle with the upset pup...]

⊗ c: sprucing up the home

[When not directly dealing with the dogs, Eustace can be found mending and fixing up their little home. He's at least learned that exerting calm, steadfast emotions can help repair small patches, smoothing over cracked, torn surfaces. He's also laying out some bedding and making sure there's nothing sharp that could cut them or anyone while playing.]

⊗ d: journal+wildcard

[If anyone wants to respond to Eustace's message or for anything else! Eustace is just going to be there for a while, so he's available for everything. Feel free to hit me up on discord or on

laenavesse for any other plotting.

And yes, because of his dog-like ears, anyone is free to mistaken him as part of the dog's family or something lmao.]

[ Tenn stares at the imprinted picture for a while before he replies. (And not just because it’s cute.) The message is neatly written, but unsigned. ]

Have you determined whether they are carnivores or herbivores?

I had seen signs that they might have eaten fish, but no other kinds of meat. I did offer a few different types, but they seem to prefer the fruits and flowers.

[In some ways it makes sense if these dogs are somehow related to flowers or something of that nature.]

If they are malnourished, they should have protein. Nuts if they can eat them, but fish would be the better option.

[ A pause before another line is hastily added. ]

Not the singing ones.
