So there is pretty much only one thing that makes Dug happy. And that is - well, okay, two things.

Three.

Four. No, five. Six. Seven - and you know what, it's probably easier to say that there aren't a lot of things that don't make him happy. But high up on that list is food, especially food he doesn't have to do anything except for a little begging to get. And it just so happens that this place, this interesting magical place, well...it's got something pretty special. And that something would be a magical bar that gives Dug whatever food he asks for, at least until he gets cut off because he's already devoured roughly three times his own bodyweight in assorted raw meats.

Do you know what that means, Milliways? It means that Dug is one very, very happy dog. He's also very asleep at the moment, sprawled on his back in front of the fire with all four paws in the air, snoring and occasionally passing wind as his legs twitch with exciting dreams of chasing and capturing birds. Occasionally, his collar picks up a stray thought and translates it quietly, the Dug version of sleep-talking.

It seems like it'd be a shame to wake him. After all, it's not like he's completely blocking several armchairs, not to mention the route to the fire...oh, he is?

Well.

Maybe someone should wake him up. But nicely, of course. With plenty of tummy scritches.

[ooc: I sense a sleep coming on - slowtimes for all, new tags always welcome and always picked up! *mwah*]

"Why do you love it so much, Dug?"

She giggles but does return to petting him, a talking dog is not too terribly strange for Milliways and he is so happy.

[good_dug]

"Because there is food and there are scratches and everyone is nice!"

He's giving her the full melting look right now, the one he's perfected carefully.

[janebecomes]

It actually reminds her of Tom which is not a useful thought so she focuses more on giving good scritches,

"Yes, a lot of people here are quite charming."

[good_dug]

"They are! And some have dogs which have no collars and that is sad for them." There's a moment's pause in the steady flap of Dug's tail. "But I can get food from the bar!" Pause ended!

He pants up at her, attempting to lick her hands. "Do you live here?"

[janebecomes]

"Does your collar help you speak? No, I don't live here, I simply visit at times."

She giggles and moves her hands behind his ears for more scritches.

[good_dug]

"My collar lets me speak! It is wonderful!" And indeed, he tilts his head to show it off properly.

The ears sag a little in response to the scratching, his whole head butting into her hand for more. "I would like to live here!" Or has he said that already?

[janebecomes]

"Maybe you could. Though I'm sure your master would miss such a kind and smart dog as yourself."

[good_dug]

The tail goes down.

"I did not think about that." :C

[janebecomes]

"Time does stop while you're in here so perhaps they won't ever know."

[good_dug]

Dug goes :O in a doggy fashion.

"I do not understand!"

[janebecomes]

"Milliways is a rather complicated place, but it can allow you some time to yourself. Do tell me about your home and master."

[good_dug]

That does not explain about the time thing. BUT WHATEVS.

"I live on an airship! It is in Paradise Falls! There are lots of other dogs! My master is smart, he trained us all and gave us these collars! He is looking for a bird! I am not allowed to help to look for the bird any more."

[janebecomes]

"Why not?"

Jane has enough trouble explaining Milliways to herself, she's not sure where to start with a dog.

[good_dug]

Sad eyes.

"I am not very good at it."

[janebecomes]

"I'm sure you could learn to be better."

[good_dug]

"I would like to!" He perks up somewhat, before the sad eyes come out again.

"But sometimes the other dogs get into trouble when I am around! And master does not want to have to fix the collars or clean up the airship or rescue them from the ravine any more."

[janebecomes]

"Maybe you could practice here by tracking demon rabbits."

[good_dug]

...





She gets a blank stare.

[janebecomes]

"Outside in the woods."

[good_dug]

"There are rabbits which are demons?"

It is worth noting that Dug has no clue what a demon is.

[janebecomes]

"They blow fire at you so you should be careful."

[good_dug]

...

What.

"Fire?"

[janebecomes]

"Yes, you should be careful since you don't want to get hurt."

[good_dug]

But - but - what. None of this is making sense in his head.

"There are rabbits and they breathe fire?"

[janebecomes]

"Preciously so you should be careful when you chase them."
