Jake walks into the bar after a long day at work, still in his slacks, button-down, and NSA badge. His housekey is quickly pocketed once he realizes where he is, exactly. Milliways wasn't what he was expecting, but the relieved smile that appears on his face shows that he's not upset to see its friendly space at all.

Then, there's a nipping at his heels. Jake ignores it the first time, and walks over toward the bar to grab a glass of ice water.

Then it happens again. "Hey, cut that--wait. Where'd you come from?"

The innocent little face that stares back at him as he turns around says nothing, and just gazes up at him with baleful eyes.

(Jake has never had a puppy. Jake is also unable to resist the cute.)

"You have a mommy or a daddy, little guy?" he asks, carefully kneeling down to check the dog's tags and scratch under its chin. It's current on all shots and male, but seems to have lost its nametag, as well as any contact information.

"Well," Jake says, I guess you're with me for now, aren't you?" He trots over to the bar to get water, and the dog follows on its stubby little puppy legs. This one's a keeper, folks.

Chuck is in love.

And makes a face like :D :D :D

SO CUUUUUUUTE.








Oh, and Jake looks okay, too.

But his puppy is being accosted by a Chuck.

[twopointohbaby.livejournal.com]

"Hey--abwuh--what?!?"

JAKE IS SO CONFUSED.

And hence, ends up flailing a little as a Chuck rushes past him to accost his newfound pet.

[allstarchuck.livejournal.com]

"What's its name?"

:D :D :D

IT'S OKAY LITTLE PUPPY CHUCK IS FRIENDLY AND UNSCARY.

[twopointohbaby.livejournal.com]

JAKE IS TOO :P

"I... don't think it has one? Or if it does, then it wasn't on the tags. Which is weird, because DC has pretty strict restrictions on dog-tags."

Jake tries to puzzle all of it out, but gives up and pets the tiny ball of fur.

[allstarchuck.livejournal.com]

"So where'd it come from?"

PUPPYYYYYY

[twopointohbaby.livejournal.com]

"I don't know about that, either? It just... started nipping at my ankles after I came into the Bar rather than my apartment."

[allstarchuck.livejournal.com]

"Huh."

Mildly distracted being gleeful and cute at the puppy. "Maybe it was looking for sandwich meat?"

[twopointohbaby.livejournal.com]

Jake would be distracted, but he's pretty sure he never mentioned living over a sandwich shop. "...huh?"

[allstarchuck.livejournal.com]

"...Oh god."

PANICKED LOOK.

"I didn't mean to but I sort of "

[wheatencrown]

Demeter just beams, mainly at the puppy but also slightly at Jake,

"Oh you're both so adorable."

[twopointohbaby.livejournal.com]

Jake laughs. "He just wanted to follow me to the bar, I guess. Do you know anyone here that's been missing a puppy?"

[wheatencrown]

"I don't think so but he's wonderful."

The puppy is getting scritches from Demeter and she grins at Jake,

"I think he likes you."

[twopointohbaby.livejournal.com]

"I think so, too... I don't know if I have time for a dog though," he admits. "Maybe my friend here knows someone that has a good home for him. Right, buddy?"

[wheatencrown]

"Who's your friend and sure you can find someone. Now, you both should eat. I'm Demeter."

She stands up and gives Jake a hug as she talks to Bar and orders a good amount of food for dogs and boys.

[twopointohbaby.livejournal.com]

"His name's Chuck? We both arrived here at about the same time, and we have pretty similar interests. Also, he seems to have an actual house, and not just a tiny apartment that sits over a sandwich shop, so that might work better for this guy."

He hugs back, a little awkwardly as he tries to pick up the squirming puppy, and starts walking.

"Just no sub sandwiches, please. I'm sort of tired of the smell at this point in my life." Laugh.

[wheatencrown]

"Oh Chuck, he's wonderful, such a sweetheart and a much better lover than he thinks he is."

[twopointohbaby.livejournal.com]

Jake is blissfully ignoring the last part of that for now. "Yeah, he's pretty cool."

[ushouldcwhatic.livejournal.com]

Ok hard not to think that's a cute puppy.

"New friend huh?" Johnny grinned over at him.

[twopointohbaby.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I guess so. Unless there just happen to be puppies that wander into a Bar at the End of the Universe regularly.

"...though come to think of it, I wouldn't put it past Lassie to hop in here for a rawhide or something."

[ushouldcwhatic.livejournal.com]

"It sometimes happens. The thing is? Check if he turns into anyone else or can talk."

[twopointohbaby.livejournal.com]

"...yeah, that's what I'm kind of waiting for."

Hence, there is staring at the dog's ittle black and blue eyes.

"Hey, his eyes are different colors!"

[ushouldcwhatic.livejournal.com]

Johnny peered down, "Well that could be normal. Happens for genetic reasons sometimes."

[twopointohbaby.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I'd heard of it, just never seen it on a dog before. It's actually kind of cute." He reaches to scratch behind the pup's ears. "You know of anybody that's lost a dog recently?"

[ushouldcwhatic.livejournal.com]

"Around here? Not that I know of?"

Johnny then considered something, and reached out tentatively.

"He's friendly right?" Making like he was just going to pet the dog.

[twopointohbaby.livejournal.com]

"As much as I can tell, yeah." More peering at the dog.
