✪ Lost Puppy! What is this? ✪ [Accidental Video]

[loyal_cube]

[The video feed starts off dark with some growling noises followed by some sniffing. The screen clears up and shows a purple canine as Cube pulls his snout away from the screen. He cocks his head, looking curiously at the communicator. One of his ears flops to the side for a moment as he stares.

Suddenly, his eyes light up as his ears spring at a thought in his mind. The screen goes dark again as Cube picks up the communicator in his mouth. The sound of panting and quick paw steps can be heard for a few moments before he pulls away. Upside down, Shinji's face looms into the screen, looking down at the device now in his hand.]

What the hell's this?

[Shinji looks over the communicator for a moment]

This isn't mine

...

What, did you steal this?!

[The communicator flips around to show Cube's paws and the floor as Shinji looks at it some more. Turning it back around, he shrugs.]

Well, whatever sap lost this probably doesn't deserve it, anyhow... you can have it as a chew toy, boy.

[The communicator hits the floor and the purple pup runs after it, happily thinking it's a game of fetch now, returning it to Shinji as he grumbles.]

Look, it's not mine... I don't even want one, hell if I'm keeping two. You keep it.

["Keep it? Well, I guess so. It's kind of fun, just like Master's." Cube spends the rest of the video feed staring at the communicator, waiting for it do something interesting so he can play with it.]

*Reisen's wondering why she's even talking to a dog to begin with*

You didn't take it from somebody, did you...?

*really, Reisen, you should know better than to try to hold a conversation with something you don't understand*

[loyal_cube]

[He shakes his head. Yes. He understands you, Reisen.

"It hurt me with a loud buzzing!"

He growls and spins around, trying to re-act out what happened, but ends up falling over]

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

*oh hey, maybe this won't be a strange waste of time after all*

Oh, so... you can at least answer yes and no questions...? Nod if you can.

[loyal_cube]

[His ears perk up. What a fantastic idea!He nods, very excited a person has found a way to speak with him.]

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

W-well...

*but now that she thinks about it, just what can she talk to a dog about, anyway?*

Um...

*there's a rather awkward pause... what even made her decide to strike up a conversation here, anyway?*

... have you been in Discedo for long...?

[loyal_cube]

[He shakes his head but then pauses... How long HAS he been in this place? Feels like he has been here before, though...

He tilts his head back at her, as if wondering the same of her.]

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

*well, she 'thinks' she understands it's asking the question back to her*

I've only been here for almost a couple of weeks myself...

[loyal_cube]

[His tail starts to sway back and forth. "That's like me!" Though, something int he back of his mind is trying to say otherwise, he dismisses i for now.

"Ask me another question, miss!"]

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

*of all the people that Reisen could have chosen to talk to, why was it a dog? She wasn't really sure*

... so, er... has your owner been treating you well?

[loyal_cube]

[He nods but looks away, worried.

"Master has been very sad..."

He gives her the puppy-dog eyes and whines.]

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

*not quite sure how to take a response like that*

Does he treat you badly sometimes...?

[loyal_cube]

[He quickly shakes his head.

"No. No! He is sad..."

He is just sad.

Sad.

SAD!"

And it looks like he is coughing but all that comes out is a small, muffled sound.]

SAH!

[He looks surprised at the sound and stumbles backwards.]

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

Sah?

Um...

*did the dog just try to say an actual word?*

... sod?

*a dog talking about sod doesn't make sense, Reisen*

Wait, no... er... sad?

[loyal_cube]

[ ...



"THAT'S IT!"

His tail starts beating back and forth very quickly and he nods, VERY happy she understood.

He did it! He said a word! ... but how did he do it again?]

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

So you can talk...?

... kind of? I guess that makes sense since you can understand me.

I-I guess it's not you that's sad if you're acting like that... is it your owner that's sad?

[loyal_cube]

[Can he talk? He wasn't sure. That was first time it ever worked...

The canine nodded. His 'master' was very sad... and there wasn't much he could do.

He tries to speak again, looking like he is barking but nothing came out.

"How did I do that?"]

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

Huh...

*if she could get this dog to start talking somehow, it'd be easier to talk with him...*

I-it's kind of a weird word to start out with, but... maybe you should try pronouncing sad again...?

[loyal_cube]

[He got into a 'focused' stance. Looking as if he was about to pounce something. He tried again.

"Sad!"

...

"SAD!"

SAD SAD SAD SADSADSADSADSADSADSA-]

SAH!SAH! ....... SAAAAAAAUUUU!!

[Cube blinks a few times. What the...? It wasn't actually coming from the normal place. The sound... the voice was muffled.]

Sad...?

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

*she wasn't sure what she was expecting. Even though she was familiar with strange things like this, the fact that the dog had seemed like an ordinary dog at first made it a bit surprising*

Y-you really did it. But why did it sound a little... muffled?

[loyal_cube]

[his chest puffed out, a bit proud.

"Thank you.... but I don't know..."

he tried again, but it looked like he had a hairball or something stuck.]

hh- Heeehh

[He closed his eyes, in thought. Trying to focus on where the sound is coming from.]

Heehloouu. Hellou...

Hello.

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

Ah... hello.

*it was kind of strange... if somebody else was the owner, how did she manage to be the one that got this dog to talk?*

I don't suppose you have a name you can try to tell me?

[loyal_cube]

[he nodded. He'll try.]

aiiire... aiiirebaaaw.

Fffff- Faier baawwll

Firebawll!

Fireball!

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

Fireball-san? I'm Reisen Udongain Inaba. It's nice to meet you.

[loyal_cube]

[His tail is about to wag right off his body, it's going to fast.

Reisen-san. What a wonderful person!

"Thank you! It's a pleasure to meet you, Reisen-san!"]

Hello!

[He bowed his head, not in a nod, but his upper body tried to mimic someone bowing.]

Sank yuu!

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

I-it's no problem. You're welcome.

Ah... I don't suppose you can try to pronounce my name?
