[Video/Backdated to the morning of the 7th]

[onecream_fivesugar]

[When the feed starts. The camera is focused on the ceiling. A second later Robyn pokes her head into the frame, her eyes wide with excitement. Oddly enough she looks a touch different compared to normal, her black hair now seems have some red highlights to it.]

Guys! This is so cool, you'll never guess what my dad echoed back last night!

[She'll adjust the webcam so there's a view of her living room floor where a behemoth of a dog is lazing around.]

Come on boy! Come say hi to everyone!

[The dog wont get up, he'll open his mouse and give the camera a doggy grin.]

Okay, never mind. Just stay there.

[She'll move over toward the dog and scratch behind his ears. He'll wag his tail which will thump against the floor with surprising force.]

So his name is Mouse and he belonged to my dads past self or whatever. Isn't he just the coolest?

That.

That is a very large dog, Robyn.

[Completely deadpan.]

[onecream_fivesugar]

I know, right!? He's super nice too, you have no idea!

[She'll turn her attention back over to Mouse for a second to scratch under his chin.]

Aren't you, Mouse? Yes, you are~!

[She'll then look back over to Lily.]

So when I come down to Vegas next, I'll totally bring him with me so you can meet him!

Action - Flashing Back to the Morning

[no_love_potions]

[The shrill buzz of his alarm clock jerks Harry out of his sleep, with a moderately displeased grumble. He's not ready to open his eyes yet, so he fumbles blindly for his alarm clock and... okay, that's weird. He doesn't remember hanging a shag carpet next to his bed before going to sleep. And what's that noise?]

Hrrmmph...?

[He opens his eyes blearily and promptly comes face to face with a massive canine face, grinning dope-like, tongue hanging out.

A moment passes.]

WHAT?!

[He jerks back in surprise and hits the floor beside his bed with a thud. Unfortunately, the dog takes that a sign and suddenly barrels over like a dump truck and leaps on him, viciously attempting to take Harry's poor face off with gleeful dog licks.]

Gah...! What the--? Ptoo--! Hold on a second--!

[After a few moments of struggle he finally manages to hold the dog off and then-- wait. Wait just a second. He knows this pooch.]

Mouse?

Action

[onecream_fivesugar]

[Robyn and Danielle who had been staying over were actually already awake. The thud from the other room gets Robyn's attention, while the second one from Mouse landing on Harry gets her to look over to Danielle with a slightly worried expression on her face.]

Oooookay.... That's new.

[Video]

[charcoalfeather]

Whoa! That's the biggest dog I've ever seen!

[At least, she thinks it's a dog. Maybe.]

[Video]

[onecream_fivesugar]

Isn't he? He's soooo huge!

Man, my dad's other must've had a huge house for this guy to run around in.

Voice

[icy_heavens]

... That's a really ironic name. [That dog must be at least five times bigger than him. This isn't fair.]

Voice

[onecream_fivesugar]

Maybe just a little?

[She glances looks over to Mouse, then back to the screen.]

Okay yeah, it's pretty ironic.

[video]

[gogoghostpowers]

Robyn I think that's a bear.

[video]

[onecream_fivesugar]

He's a dog, not a bear. Bears aren't absolutely adorable like Mouse is, they also don't have tails.

Re: [video]

[ghostly_heiress]

He's an ADORABLE bear.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

I think Danny's right, Robyn, that's a bear.

[onecream_fivesugar]

...Maybe one of his ancestors was a bear?

[video]

[ruleorserve]

[That's an impressively large... dog? It looks more or less like a dog, but he hadn't entirely thought they could get that large.]

I'm not certain that's the word I'd use, but he's certainly something.

[video]

[onecream_fivesugar]

Oh? And what word would you use then? The awesomest? That would be my second choice.

video

[abhero]

[Wow.]

...taking him for a walk must be amazing.

video

[onecream_fivesugar]

I only got to take him out once and it was pretty incredibly! You should have seen all the looks he got, people we amazed!

You should come out with us for later on tonight!

[goldenflames]

WOAH!

[Have a startled cousin, Robyn!]

Hey Robyn, are you sure that's a dog you have there? I'm liking that red streak you got in your hair, though.

[onecream_fivesugar]

I'm pretty sure! He might be part mammoth, he's definitely shaggy enough to be one.

Wait. Red streak? What red streak?

[It's about then that she grabs some of her bangs and holds them in front of her eyes.]

Wha-Wait when did this happen?

video

[stopinthenameofawe]

[of course Harry would get a dog. of course.]

That's one hell of a dog.

video

[onecream_fivesugar]

He really is, You've gotta come over and see him for yourself!

What are you doing after work tonight?

video

[darkhourdear]

[did someone say dog]

Oh my gosh he's so cute!!

video

[onecream_fivesugar]

[Someone said dog.]

Isn't he?

[She'll ruffle his fur and tilt his head toward the screen. Mouse will let her.]

Good to know there are other dog fans around here.

[siesinddasessen]

So that was your father.

...How sure are you that it doesn't think that you're dinner?

Video;

[onecream_fivesugar]

Oh? You've talked with him?

...Well he didn't think I was breakfast. I guess I have to wait and see how he acts around dinner time?

[ursoreckless]

Nice dog. I bet he's big enough that you can ride him like a pony.

[onecream_fivesugar]

I think he could use a nice sharp looking saddle.

video

[youngestone]

...holy shit. I could ride that thing.

video

[onecream_fivesugar]

...Oh my god.

That's like the best idea ever.

[Mouse looks between Robyn and the screen, he seems curious about the idea but not as excited as Robyn would be.

He couldn't know what they're saying, could he?]

audio;

[drama8om8]

PUPPY.

Video

[onecream_fivesugar]

Puppy~! Tavia, you have to come meet him.

Meet The Doge [Action]

[no_love_potions]

[And here's Mouse, the big furry battleship of a dog. He's legit totally thrilled to meet new people, let me tell you.]

[Action]

[stopinthenameofawe]

[True to her word, Melissa heads over to her brother and niece's apartment after work. She'll knock, a little bemused but certainly not worried. She's used to animals. How bad could this be?]

video;

[waltharius]

...that's almost as big as my horse.

[ EXAGGERATION? POSSIBLY/MAYBE/PROBABLY? DOGS SHOULD NOT BE THAT BIG. ]

video;

[onecream_fivesugar]

Woah, wait. You have a horse!?

[It's a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much. Mouse is probably big enough for Robyn to ride.]

We should race sometime!

video

[sunshinethatwarmsherup]

[ Okay. Linda's pretty sure she should probably be reacting to the fact that the dog is way too big to be a dog, but there's something else that she wants to focus on instead. ]

Wait. Your dad is numbered too? [ Yeah, that seriously isn't the thing she should be focusing on, but for some reason that was surprising her. It wasn't really that different than siblings, right? ]

Re: video

[onecream_fivesugar]

Yeah. He just got on the network a week or two ago.

I've got a cousin and my aunt who are numbered too.

[Video]

[prismaticdestruction]

Oh wow! That is a big dog!

[And yes, that is the bittypire watching with wide eyes.]

[Video]

[onecream_fivesugar]

He is! Do you wanna come over and meet him sometime?

He's super nice.
