Quest 236

[primrosella]

I wasn't just dreaming all the commotion--it really is them. They're really here! Oh, I thought it would be the end of last month, but this...this is even better.

Oh, hello, everyone! It's just lovely to see you all again! I do hope you all managed to dress warmly before coming here, since it's the winter season now. Or, well--it is for us, anyway, since I know time does seem to move differently from one place to another. And it was summer the last time you stopped by, wasn't it? So it's been quite some time now, since we all saw you last.

But you're here now, and that's what's important. And if you have, er, found yourself in a bit of a predicament with proper clothing and whatnot, there's a Welcome Center in the Square that I'm sure can be of some help with that. And do say hello to Penny while you're there!

Does this have something to do with that train? All the things we saw out the windows, the people trying to get in--and now this?

Oh, it's a good thing I saved all those leftovers. If anyone would like some--we just had Thanksgiving a few days ago, you see--there's plenty of cold turkey and cranberry sauce and rolls and things to snack on while you're here!

Sam? ...Blue? If...are you by any chance out there somewhere, too?


[OOC: Canonically, she's from just after the end of Perils of Rosella, and with some very disjointed and vague knowledge of Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder. If something comes up that I don't want her to know, I'll just have her forget it, so have a party--anything goes! HIT HER WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT. Troll, threadjack, have a ball!

And of course, I am totally okay with backdating. ♥]

I, er, meant in the shops. The ones in the Square, in the middle of the City? Near the fountain and the carousel?

[stopyoudogs.livejournal.com]

That sounds more like a park than a square.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It's not very much like a park, I don't think. There's hardly any green grass at all. It's all buildings and stone on the grounds. If you're looking for a park, you'd want to try in Xanadu.

I have seen many stones and many trees where I am from but not many buildings and not many parks. I will have to find it and I will find it because I am -

SQUIRREL.

[And back a minute later.]

Hi there.

audio ][

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

...Pardon my asking, but are you, er...that is, would you happen to be a dog?

audio ][

[stopyoudogs.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. My name is Dug.

audio ][

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Your name is Dug, and you're a dog?

...Well, it's very nice to meet you, Dug. I'm Rosella. And you're looking for a turkey for your master, then?

audio ][

[stopyoudogs.livejournal.com]

My name is Dug and I am a dog. I am not looking for a turkey. I am looking for the bird. It is a big bird and I have been on the scent.

audio ][

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, that's right, you did mention there's only one.

...Though if it has a scent, then it must be a live bird, isn't that so?

audio ][

[stopyoudogs.livejournal.com]

I would not be looking for a dead bird. They are not as funny as a dead squirrel.

audio ][ please, PLEASE throw Dug at Rudy when I post him tomorrow

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I don't imagine either are very funny at all, no. But I'm afraid you won't find your bird in the shops, then, either. Have you tried in the gardens?

audio ][ HAHAH of course i will

[stopyoudogs.livejournal.com]

I have not looked there. I have only been looking on the streets where there are so many new smells. Maybe one of them will be a new master smell.

audio ][ their logic is so beautifully similar

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Are you eager for a new master, though? I thought you already had one.

audio ][ this says something about rudy

[stopyoudogs.livejournal.com]

My master is smart and good. But he is not a very nice master.

audio ][ he will be like FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oh, dear, I'm very sorry to hear that. You poor thing...

audio ][ SURPRISE IT'S A DOG

[stopyoudogs.livejournal.com]

Do not be sorry, because I am going to catch the bird and then. And then they will like me.

audio ][

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Is that why you want it? Because it'll make him--

Well, I like you whether you find the bird or not, Dug. I think you're very sweet, and if your master doesn't see that, then I don't think he's a very good master at all.

audio ][

[stopyoudogs.livejournal.com]

Oh but he is a good master. He is good and smart.

audio ][

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

But how can he be a good master if he isn't a nice one?

audio ][

[stopyoudogs.livejournal.com]

I do not think you have to be nice at something to be good at it.

audio ][

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. You mean he never forgets to take care of you, or to feed you, or things like that. It's just that he's not...very nice to you.

audio ][

[stopyoudogs.livejournal.com]

He is not very nice to any of us dogs, but he is master and he is good.
