2 ❀ Action

[Guess who picked up a dog mask? Yup, that's right, it's Anise.]

[So, denizens of Luceti, you might be able to find this pigtailed loli in various humiliating situation today. Perhaps she's chasing your cat! Or perhaps she's on all fours, sniffing at your shoe and begging for scritches behind the ears! Or perhaps she's trying to dig a hole with bare hands and getting mud all over herself? The possibilities are endless!]

[Why not use this time to get some blackmail material?]

...

[He snorts. O-okay, he should probably do something about this. He goes back down the stairs to join the two "dogs" in the yard.]

Do you really understand him?

[pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com]

He's got a pretty heavy accent! [Anise sits back on her haunches, batting playfully at the puppy whenever he gets close.]

[The dog, Kogoro, barks at her cheerfully. It's kind of an odd bark, though. It sounds like "a-e-i-o-u."]

Is that so? Maybe he's foreign. I had no idea!

[pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com]

Yep! But he's really cute! He says his name is woof!

[...]

How insightful. [...or something.] Does that translate to something?

[pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com]

Huh? It just means [insert a series of barks here]! Anyway. [She leaves the dog and trots over, sniffing at your shoe.] We've met before, right?

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[Caesar watches as she trots over and stares while she sniffs his shoes. He almost kind of feels embarrassed for her.]

We most certainly have, but I fear I do not recall your name! What was it again?

Anise Tatlin! [As she speaks, the mask loosens a bit. She frowns and tries to adjust it, only for it to fall off completely.]

[She blinks, disoriented.]

[pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com]

[Wait...]

[What did she just do?!]

[pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com]

[Brb just...kind of looking awkwardly at the ground.]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[He raises an eyebrow, but her gestures say enough.]

Ah, had a sudden change of heart?

[pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com]

What did I just do?! [Her voice is laced with an equal mix of disbelief and horror.]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[He quickly shrugs.]

Don't ask me.

[pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com]

[S-sob...]

I thought I was a dog...[jgusfh this is so embarrassing.] And what's this? [She holds up her mask]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[Is that a real question? He's not sure. He'll just answer it anyway.]

It might be what made you think you were a dog.

[pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com]

[She frowns. Still getting used to Luceti's weirdness...] So, is this another one of those creepy experiments by those Malnosso guys?

[Okay, calm down, Anise. The guy isn't laughing at her. And she couldn't control herself...right?]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Sure seems that way. They really picked a strange one, didn't they?

[The way it sounds, he's seen things like this faaaar too often.]

[pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com]

You sound like you're pretty used to this...[Well, that's good, right? At least he doesn't think she's a weirdo.] This is way worse than that fairytale event!

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Think so? I'm quite enjoying myself. [He smirks a little. Then again, the fairytale experiment hadn't been all that bad for him, either.] But no, this isn't anything new to me.

[pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com]

Oh, whew...[Wait, no, what?!] Booooo. You're enjoying watching me making a fool out of myself? [POUT.]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Don't be so presumptuous! I simply mean that I haven't been affected too badly myself. For you, I was quite embarrassed.

[pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com]

Fine, I guess. [Her pout changes into a grin.] I should go clean up! See you around...what's your name again?

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Caesar. [He leans down to pat his dog on the head, and then turns to head back into his house.] Try to avoid anymore of those masks, okay?

[pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com]

You got it! [She waves, then runs off.]
