Who let the dog out?

[keybearer]

[Things you don't see every day: Rikus being stalked by colorful, orange dogs that definitely belong to King Mickey.

But that's exactly what's going on. Riku was going to try and explore, maybe get some training done, but it seems that no matter where he turns, Pluto isn't far behind, wagging his tail and barking with a huge, dorky smile.

Letting out a groan, Riku stops, runs a hand through his hair, and turns to face the dog.]

Look, isn't there somebody else you could follow?

[BARK!]

Seriously, I don't even have any sticks.

[BARKBARK!]

[He slaps his palm against his face, looking for someone, anyone who can help with his dilemma.]

Isn't there anyone here who's good with dogs?

[Anyone care to help him out?]

Comments

[afunnygirl]

[How about a princess kneeling down and patting her legs to get the dog's attention?]

Here.

[keybearer]

[Oh, hello, pretty lady! Pluto rushes right up to her, wagging his tail. Riku, meanwhile, lets out a sigh of relief.]

Heh, thanks.

[afunnygirl]

[She reaches out to pet under Pluto's face, and works her way up to scritch behind his ears. Who's a cute dog? You are!]

You don't have a lot of experience with dogs, do you, Riku?

[keybearer]

Afraid not.

[He gives her a sheepish smile, while Pluto just keeps loving the attention. Lots of tail wagging, oh yeees.]

I never had any pets back home.

[afunnygirl]

I had pets when I was younger. Most of the animals I'm more familiar with aren't what I'd consider pets. Chickens, horses...

[Scritch scritch scritch.]

Does he have a name?

[keybearer]

I think it's Pluto.

[Or some kind of planety name. Donald and Goofy probably mentioned him before.

But ooh, Pluto's totally doing that leg pumping thing dogs do.]

[afunnygirl]

[She laughs, settling more comfortably on the ground.]

Pluto, hm? Is that your name?

[keybearer]

[Bark, bark, lick, lick! Seems to be a confirmation, anyway.]

Man, it's like you're a natural.

This muse may or may not disappear without warning :/

[juniorheroine]

Pluuuuto!

[Maybe this Sora nearby will help. She's amused by this scene.]

/glues the muse here

[keybearer]

[BARK, BARK! Oh yeah, he's running over like a boss. Riku just laughs.]

Finally someone sappy enough to keep him busy.

Aa no gluing :<

[juniorheroine]

[All of the pets for you, Pluto! She hasn't seen you in forever.]

C'mon, I save you and that's how you thank me? That's mean.

[keybearer]

Oh, c'mon. You should know me better than that.

[It's a Riku thing, Sora. Don't question it.]

[twobecame]

[Roxas isn't good with dogs.

He just finds this amusing.]

[keybearer]

What, you just gonna stand there?

[He seees you there, Roxas. Oh yes.]

[twobecame]

Am I supposed to be doing something else?

[Maybe he just likes to watch people suffer.]

[keybearer]

You could be lending me a hand.

[But he kinda doubts that's gonna happen. Guh.]

[twobecame]

Doesn't seem to be much reason to.

[keybearer]

What, can't do it out of the goodness of your heart?

[Yes, he realizes Roxas is a Nobody, shh.]

[twobecame]

[Riku is getting a blank look for that. Oops, wrong thing to say.]

[keybearer]

... Right. Should've watched my wording there.

[Gosh, now he feels kinda awkward. Way to go, Roxas.]

[twobecame]

[Roxas isn't the one being insensitive to missing body parts, so nyeh.]

Yeah, you should have. You might have hurt my feelings.

[Deadpan. There's the faintest of a smirk to his expression, however.]
