[The crow SUDDENLY TURNS INTO A DUDE HOLY SHIT WHAT EVEN IS HAPPENING.

But he picks up the ball to throw it, looking as if this GREAT AND CLEVER VICTORY WAS ALL OF HIS PLANNING FROM THE BEGINNING.]

1/2

[rassera]

[Capsule watches Ikki struggle with picking up the ball in his beak, hopping back once or twice whenever he seems to ALMOST get it.

YES. YES. YOU WILL GRAB THE BALL. YOU WILL SHOW THE BALL WHO IS BOSS AND THEN YOU WILL THROW IT AND I WILL RUN AND BRING IT BACK.

AND WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AG-

2/3 i lied

...WHERE DID THE BIRD GO?

3/3

[rassera]

But that doesn't matter, because Ikki is picking up that slobbery ball, his playful attitude returning as his tail wags. CLEARLY this human was hiding behind the bird this whole time! How silly of him to not see the man before.

He must be one of his master's friends.


The ball is thrown, and large paws scramble to get his footing as he takes off as it bounces across the room.

YES! YOU THREW THE BALL! I WILL GO GET IT AND BRING IT BACK!!

Which is...precisely what he does. Hi friend.]

[violentmotion]

Heeehhh?

[As the dog brings it back, Ikki's face breaks out into a wide grin. Easily amused, at least. He reaches over to give a few rewarding pets before scooping up the ball again.]

[rassera]

[The moment Ikki's hand brushes along his head, it's solidified in Capsule's small, easily amused brain.

Oh yes! You must be a good person. You are a friend of master I can tell!

By...the way he throws the ball, I guess. No one knows how Golden Retrievers think.

ARE YOU GOING TO THROW AGAIN? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE THROW THE BALL AGAIN! I WOULD THROW MYSELF BUT I HAVE NO ARMS LIKE YOU! I WOULD SO EVER MUCH APPRECIATE THE BALL BEING THROWN!

That's right, Ikki. You are now god in this dogs eyes. Use your power carefully.]

[violentmotion]

That's a good boy!

[HE IS A GOD IN ALL EYES, MOST ESPECIALLY IKKI'S. Ikki, being of almost the exact same capacity as the dog in front of him, flops down to sit cross legged on the floor, and throws the ball.

This time, he sends it swerving this way and that with little flicks of his hand.

I hope no one kept any papers in the living room because they and all of the feathers are about to start flying.]

[rassera]

[YES. YES I AM CERTAINLY A GOOD BOY! YOU ARE A VERY WISE HUMAN FRIEND OF MY MASTER TO NOTICE. I HOPE YOU WILL THROW THE BALL AGAIN.

When Ikki sits, Capsule's itching for that ball to be thrown, making motions to try and step on his lap to get it himself, but backing off at the last minute. You can practically tell this is just killing him, eyes bright and clear and full of hope that YOU WILL THROW THIS BALL FOR HIM, LORD IKKI.

And when said ball is lobbed right into a pile of feathers, Capsule all but dive bombs, chomping down. It's easy to find the ball--even colourblind animals can pick the bright sphere out of the pile of black fluffies. It's just that Capsule decides to bring not JUST the ball back.

But all the feathers that got trapped with it.

With a confident little trot, he works his way back over and...just dumps the ball and slobbery feathers right in his lap.

I LIKE THIS GAME. THE BIRD LEFT HIS BIRD FUR ON THE GROUND. I COLLECTED IT FOR YOU.

ARE YOU HAPPY, MASTER'S FRIEND?]

[violentmotion]

[He gives a sly look back to the dusty broom wielding nightmare...

And takes the feathers, and man, LAVISHES the affection on this dog. There is pats and thumps and ruff scritches.]

Good boy! What a good dog!

[And stopping.]

Go get more! Fetch!

[rassera]

[The affection is certainly not lost on Capsule. He absorbs all of it, leaning into those hands that rub and scritch along those ears and fur, turning in a half circle to soak up any and all attention given.

YES. YES I AM A GOOD BOY. I AM SO GLAD YOU THINK SO!

PLEASE PLEASE THROW THE BALL AGAIN. I WILL GO GET IT AND THE BIRD FUR AND RETURN WITH MORE. AND I WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN!

Off he goes, pouncing down the hall to grab it, as well as another chunk full of feathers, bounding back at full speed.]

[violentmotion]

[WHAT A GOOD DOG CLEANING SLAVE.

Ikki dutifully throws it to the larger piles of feathers for a while... but frankly, lets be real, his attention span is just not there for this.

As the game moves around, this time, he throws the ball down the hall, into one of the rooms, and over some poor soul sleeping in a bed.

Probably Tetsuo.]

[rassera]

[Capsule watches it sail through the air, starting to follow it as it bounces, the first few times down and into a bedroom--before skidding to a stop. It's as if the dog literally froze on the spot, tail going between his legs and legs scrambling to get back.


I am sorry Master's friend. I cannot go in there as the Master's most important friend lives there and I am afraid he does not like me very much. He gives me looks that make me think I am a bad boy and perhaps maybe I am although my Master does not tell me so. But if my Master's important friend thinks so then I must go to this far corner.

Yes. I will go there now.

The behavior completely changes in the dog as he scurries over past where Ikki was sitting, trotting his way over to the far end of the room and parks his but there, lying down and looking at the direction of the room where the ball lay.

I am a good boy.]
