[ an eyepatch-wearing dog's (or is it a wolf's) face appears in the feed. as though he was the one who was making the post.

as it just so happens, he might have been, with a very proud-looking man, coming into the frame to give him a scratch behind the ears. ]

Good boy.

[ the point of this exercise was twofold. to get to know a little more about his fellow refugees and what they held dear. and, well... maybe a small part of him wanted to show off his "son's" rather impressive skills. but, he would absolutely never admit that. ]

Everyone, this is DD. [ at the sound of his name, he gives an affirmative "bark", and Ocelot nods. ] All right, DD. Can you type "hello world" for everyone?

[ the dog (or wolf, who really knows) gives him a look, but sure enough, some text begins to appear on the screen. ]

[ a valiant effort... for a dog. Ocelot shakes his head, but gives DD a pat on the head for effort. ]

Well... maybe we just need a bit more practice.

[ DD barks in approval yet again, tail wagging. ]

How many of you have had friends like DD returned to you lately? How many of you are still waiting? Both of us [ he gives DD another pat on the head. ] are interested to hear what you have to say.

[ and he looks back to DD, and gives a nod. ]

DD, off.

[ and the dog nudges the feed, once, twice, before it's turned off again. ]

You never know. It just might work. Have you given it a try?

[ he's teasing, but... again. speaking from experience. not that anyone would ever really know from his tone. ]

what, to turn shiitake into a secret agent dog? uh no I havent I literally dont think that has ever crossed any of our minds

[shashka]

You might want to consider it, when your friend or the dog wakes up. Could be a real asset to the Olympian guards.

[ayes]

hahaha thats such a funny idea I am preeeeetty sure you are teasing me though!!

[shashka]

Now, what would make you think that?

[ayes]

oh well I dont know, it just seemed like a pretty obvious joke? shiitake would probably be much better at cheering secret agents up after they get back or taking naps

[shashka]

Still sounds like a good companion. Have you thought of asking for the dog yourself? DD is only half mine, after all. His other "owner" is still in stasis.

[ayes]

you can do that??? you can just

ask them if they can wake up the dog?
oh jeez Im sorta tempted
but he'd probably really miss chika too

[shashka]

There's no harm in asking. I first asked about DD when I got here, but they only just gave him back to me not too long ago. You never know what might happen.

[ayes]

I guess not!

but maybe Ill let him sleep until Chika wakes up too. itd feel wrong to separate them
you know?
