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.

-- Eustace


[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.]

[To be fair, he learned from initially being knocked over...

Ferran gives an exaggerated shrug, clearly unconcerned with having worked the animals up.]


Only starting?

[You haven't seen the half of it, Eustace. He puts a hand on his hip, glancing briefly at the dogs chasing after their inanimate prey.]

Ever trained a dog before?
noblegarnet: (f: staring maybe the thousand yard type)

[personal profile] noblegarnet 2021-09-23 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
The asocial type, huh.

[He supposes people can be far more complicated than animals.]

You're Eustace, then? [He's not Nanako, that's for sure.] Was it her idea to take care of the dogs?
noblegarnet: (i: well...)

[personal profile] noblegarnet 2021-09-25 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
... that makes sense.

[Kids don't usually understand the difference between wild animals and domestic ones, do they? And there's no doubt the girl would want to help anything that looked like it was having trouble...]

Do you really think it's a good idea?
noblegarnet: (f: staring maybe the thousand yard type)

[personal profile] noblegarnet 2021-09-28 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
Asocial and a cynic?

[Assuming people might harm these relatively cute wild animals... Ferran won't argue with the idea, but it certainly speaks to a distrust of others.]

Well, I'm sure they'll keep your hands full. [Literally, at the current moment, in fact.]
noblegarnet: (i: well...)

[personal profile] noblegarnet 2021-09-29 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Ferran shrugs before bending down and giving the rowdy girl a quick head scratch as he picks up the stick.]

You're providing them with attention, too. And food, I'm guessing.

[That's always a sure bet on getting an animal to come bother you. It may very well be true that Ferran will also find the same result, but he's not bothered; it's not like taking "full responsibility" over them the way that Eustace apparently has, and he can decide what exactly he wants to get involved in.

This time, instead of immediately throwing the stick, he tries to see if he can get her to jump and grab it out of his hand with a playful gesture.]
noblegarnet: (f: unsure)

[personal profile] noblegarnet 2021-10-05 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Might as well have a reason to get out of bed, I guess.

[Nope! He pulls the branch out of her reach again, but after that he tosses it up to see if she'll try and catch it in midair...]

By the way. Are those ears normal where you're from?
noblegarnet: (f: soft boy)

[personal profile] noblegarnet 2021-10-05 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Ferran praises the puppy with a good job regardless of her irritation, leaning his hands against his knees.

At Eustace's answer, he simply nods. Would it be racist to make a comment about the guy's affinity with dogs or expecting a tail? ... probably.]


There are only humans where I come from. But I guess anything's possible in a dream world, huh.
noblegarnet: (f: hmmst)

[personal profile] noblegarnet 2021-10-08 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
[He hums in thought briefly.]

That is pretty weird. Given how many possibilities in the universe there are.

[Wondering why won't get them anywhere, though.]

You've probably gotten a lot of questions.
noblegarnet: (i: well...)

[personal profile] noblegarnet 2021-10-09 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[Ferran stares back, his expression neutral.]

Is it annoying?
noblegarnet: (f: staring maybe the thousand yard type)

[personal profile] noblegarnet 2021-10-11 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
What's the worst one you've gotten?

[Ferran really doesn't care so much for the details of Eustace's background at the moment. If they come up, they come up—but there doesn't seem to be much point to it at the moment.]
noblegarnet: (f: can you not)

[personal profile] noblegarnet 2021-10-13 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Ferran folds his arms and hmphs, miffed.]

I wouldn't ask if I didn't want to know.

[But he won't press the issue... for now. He does, however, consider leaving now that his latest avenue for entertainment has been cut off.]

Well, anyway. Good luck with the training thing.
