Comments

Part One

[senseandcecilbility]

[Cecil is usually a very careful and conscious driver. However, he has not slept well in days, and has been terribly preoccupied with recent events such as the appearance of murderous cultists and the mysterious portal between Vegas and Locke City. As it is, he almost fails to notice the fluffy thing suddenly crossing the street, but manages to break the USPS truck just in time.]

Oh dear!

[Heart pounding in his chest, he exits the truck to check on the physical and mental state of whatever he almost turned into roadkill.]

[notbloody]

[The tiny white puppy - race indeterminate, but there is a lot of fluffy white fur involved - is pressed to the ground, shaking and just staring at the truck when Cecil gets to her. SHE DID NOT SEE THAT ONE COMING.

The mailman will be able to pick her up without much ado, as her reaction to it will be significantly belated.]

[senseandcecilbility]

[Oh no, it is tiny and cute. He picks her up, very carefully, and pets her fur almost frantically. He is not one hundred percent sure about how to comfort a dog, since neither his boarding school or grandfather ever allowed pets, but he has watched commercials and movies before?]

I am so sorry! So sorry! Please, forgive me.

[He carries her back to the truck, checking for an ID tag.]

[notbloody]

[She has one of those electronic ID tags that are small enough to fit in the collar, so he won't quite be able to get any information from it.

But at least she stirs in his arms, though still shaking, and makes a pitiful whining sound. It's all confusing and she is scared and she's been more and more worried for a while now, and also has entirely no idea where she is...]

[senseandcecilbility]

[But it makes sounds!

He keeps whispering how terribly sorry he is while examining the puppy inch by inch. Once he is positive she has no injuries, he wraps her in a warm quilt - because good mailmen always have those in their trucks - and moves to the back seat with the dog burrito in his lap. With a sigh, he strokes her fur, stopping to scratch behind her ears.

Please, don't be scared.]

It is all right, it is all right. We are going to get you back home.

[notbloody]

[She perks up a bit at "home" and looks up at him. She... doesn't really want to go home, she came here for a reason! Though right now she'd really love to do that...

But she's calmer now, and will start to shift to get more comfortable, so that Cecil has a squirming burrito in his lap.]

Part Two

[senseandcecilbility]

[The puppy is cute and obviously loved. Her owner must be terribly worried, but Cecil has no idea where he should start looking. And so he phones the only cop he really trusts and asks Eugen to meet him at a perfectly suburban park bench under a perfectly suburban beech tree, mercifully away from the hellish neon lights and scary tourists. After all, neither Cecil or Floweregg need any further stress in their lives, do they?]

[notbloody]

[The puppy will be asleep in Cecil's lap by the time that Eugen shows up, utterly exhausted form the trip through the teleporter, the hours of trying to find her friend and then the shock of almost becoming roadkill and being picked up by a total stranger.]

[buildyourworld]

[ He's honestly puzzled why Cecil asked to meet instead of telling him what's the problem over the call. Still, it's not like it's a big deal so he agreed anyway. Not knowing he's about to meet his favorite puppy, he heads off to the location Cecil asked for. He actually appreciates the chosen spot because he's about done with Vegas unnecessary need of obnoxious light choices. He waves at Cecil when he spots the mailman and approaches him, noticing the ball of white on his lap. ]

Hey. What's up?

[senseandcecilbility]

[The truth is that the socially awkward mailman was too embarrassed to tell him what was going on. What if Eugen is too busy rescuing kidnapped hotel owners and has no time for lost pets? The life of someone with a pistol permit sounds so needlessly exciting! So if he is not interested Cecil will just...invite him for tea? Do people like Eugen even drink tea?]

Ah- Hello, Mister Lambert. How are you? [ He follows his gaze and attempts to sound as casual as possible, which is not at all. ]Er...I found this young lady today.

[notbloody]

[Still asleep, Floweregg moves a bit, maybe hunting butterflies in her dreams. She's used to people talking over her head, her mistress and mommy do that a lot.]

[buildyourworld]

Just Eugen will do. [ Nobody calls him Mister Lambert, not even his students back when he was a TA at the LCU, it's weird and besides, he's not really a "Mister" material.

He's honestly surprised and a little miffed to be called out for a lost puppy when he has other things to take care of, namely the cultists and his Gundam. But Eugen's love for animal sort of override his need to be annoyed so instead of telling Cecil outright to take her to the animal shelter, he sighs and lowers himself to look at the puppy. He hasn't realize the puppy is Floweregg yet since most puppies look alike. ] Is she not wearing a tag?

Part Three

[senseandcecilbility]

[ooc: Open header for all puppy purposes!]

catch all

[notbloody]

[Floweregg will mostly stay with Eugen while she's in Vegas, but every once in a while she will go exploring alone. There are a couple of ways to meet her:]

A. The Marriott - villas
Floweregg is staying in one of the villas that Petunia offers to reincarnates. She can be found all over both of them, though, generally getting up in people's business, watching TV, playing with things or stealing snacks.

B. Teleporter/The Marriott - pool
Sometimes, she'll just sit near the teleporter outlet and wait if someone is coming out of it.

C. Out and about in town! She's getting used to navigating her way to the parks, so she can either be found on the sidewalks on her way there, or in one of the parks - playing with other dogs or taking a bath or just lying on the grass or walking around.

to Eugen

[notbloody]

[So Floweregg came here for a reason, but then... well, then he told her about his giant robot, and she forgot her question over the excitement of getting to climb into a giant robot.

And now she's just peering up at it, amazed at just how big it is. Wow.] And it can fly?

omg Floweregg you cutey <3

[buildyourworld]

[ She said she has a question for him but the moment he mentioned giant robot, the little puppy forgot all about it. Not that Eugen blames her, it's normal to be excited over giant robots.

With a chuckles, he steps forward so he's in the range of the voice command system. ] Yes, it can fly but we can't do that now.

Disengaging GN System repose. Priority pass to Tieria Erde. [ Virtue activates with a soft electrical groan the moment the line is spoken, it's mechanical eyes shine green as a line elevator drops from the cockpit. They could use the vertical bridge but Eugen figures the puppy might appreciates something special. ] Think you can handle going up with this? I'll be holding you of course.

[notbloody]

Why can't we?

[She watches the elevator drop down with interest, though she can't tell what it is at all - going by Eugen's words some kind of thing to take them up there, though, so she'll wag her tail and yip in agreement.] Is it very fast?

[buildyourworld]

Because I'm not sure how far up the echo boundaries cover, it'll be dangerous if I fly into the space and it stops working. [ That and his boss will go livid, chew him up and barf him out if he tried. He's not suicidal. ]

Yes, it'll bring us up to the cockpit. Are you okay with that? We can take the vertical bridge if you feel safer that way. [ At that, he points to one that's standing nearby, having been left there by the previous group of air force members who came to oggle at the Gundam. ]

[notbloody]

No, this sounds like fun! Is it fast? Like a car?

[She'll be good and stay safe with him too.]

I can't leave the barrier either, my mistress says that I would stop being sen- that I wouldn't be able to talk anymore. And think, though I don't think that is right, everyone thinks.

Aftermath

[hustru]

[So Siiri asked this new friend of Floweregg to come over, because obviously she needs to screen all her friends if they're good for her at least a tiny bit. Floweregg is only a puppy, after all, and sometimes too easily enamoured to others.

She'll wait for Cecil at her flat's door when he comes up the stairs, Floweregg on her shoulder, who wags her tail excitedly. Yes, Siiri making friends with her friends (because that's clearly what this is). Perfect.]

Good evening.

Re: Aftermath

[senseandcecilbility]

[The real question is: what is he doing here? After facing the stairs, he resists the urge to recheck if his shirt collar is crooked or if he is missing a button. No, he is actually impeccably dressed, but he feels awkward all the same.]

Ah...Good evening.

[He will never get used to his new Downton Abbey accent. He sounds like his grandfather, for crying out loud. Though now he cannot make up his mind about whether he should address Siiri or Floweregg first. Ugh, he is overthinking this, isn't he? And now the opportunity has come and gone, so he merely stands in front of the door and smiles as if he is about to meet the hangman.]

[hustru]

Come in.

[She'll hold the door open for him and, after a moment of fussing with if she should ask for it or not, decides that she needs to ask because he probably won't take his shoes off without her requesting it, and hopefully he won't feel too offended if he was planning on it anyway...]

Please put your shoes here. [She indicates a spot near the door where a few pairs of her own shoes are lined up, and then moves to pick Floweregg from her shoulder and put her down once the door is closed so she can say hello - they just have to be careful, so she can't speak while the door is still open.]

[senseandcecilbility]

Oh...yes, naturally!

[Oh my, did he put on proper socks this morning? He must have! Only proper socks in his closet. Though some used to belong to his grandfather and he had to patch up a few holes. These...are actually a pair of them. So he takes his shoes off just as he was told, but is blushing like a tomato by the time he steps inside the apartment, careful not to squish the cute puppy. ]

[hustru]

[Floweregg will run over to Cecil as soon as she's left down and the door has been closed behind them.] Why are you in Locke? My mistress said that you're going back tomorrow, but she didn't say why you came. Do you like it here? There's a really nice park down the street with a lot of weavy water things!

[She'll also nudge his leg with her head, demanding pettings or scritchings or at least some other kind of welcome, while Siiri steps back and heads to the kitchen to get the tea and milk over to the table.]

[senseandcecilbility]

[Cecil is genuinely relieved to see Floweregg approaching him. Puppies are much easier to deal with than humans, even talking puppies.]

Unfortunately, I did not have the chance to become familiar with Locke City. I merely came to assist an acquaintance of mine. Though those weavy water things of yours sound truly interesting!

[Pettings and scritchings are happening now, which is excellent because this way Cecil doesn't have to fret about wether he should sit down or not, since Siiri didn't say he could.]
