Ed's first curse. Arf.

[waywardtomato]

Who: Radical Edward
When: Throughout the week.
Where: Around the bubble.
Style: Starting prose, I will follow you.
Status: Open

A strange sight will greet the denizens of the bubble. Well, just as strange as anything else going on during this week. The sight is that of two Pembroke Welsh Corgis roaming around the bubble. The first of which might have been seen around the bubble before, A basic brown corgi who carries himself like most dogs would. The second is a more reddish corgi who seems to be incapable of sitting still. It bounces, twirls, and makes a nuisance of itself towards the first corgi; This includes climbing on, biting, and knocking over the other exasperated corgi.

Edward has been turned into a corgi, she cannot speak, and she is having the time of her life! Ein is not as amused.

going with action if you don't mind

[Hey Ed, remember Karkat? Yes? No? Doesn't matter, because he doesn't look like himself to begin with. Instead he's taken on the form of a fluffy grey cat. Said cat is currently backed up against a doorway next to the sidewalk, ears folded back, and hissing as if evil incarnate has just passed in front of him. What's worse, it has a twin. Why did no one ever tell him dogs were so horrible?]

Totally cool. =)

[waywardtomato]

[Ed had never experienced a curse before, so for all she knew she was now a dog, like forever. She was remarkably okay with this. Being a dog, she knew one thing when saw the cat backed up against the doorway. Dogs chased cats. It was one of the fundamental laws of nature... or something.]

[The brown corgi seemed perfectly content passing right by the cat, he was still amused about the whole situation. Unlike his human friend, he had assimilated what the pamphlet said. He just did not really have a way to to communicate it to Edward. He spoke to her, in his way, but she usually did not listen.]

[The Ed-corgi almost immediately makes for the cat, barking happily the whole time, it even appeared to be hopping as it ran. Clearly exasperated, the Ein-corgi follows after Ed. He is barking as well, his was directed towards his friend. "Please do not terrorize the cat. It is clearly distressed."]

[bethehugejerk]

[Ein, you are a good dog, even if Karkat's feline brain is still shrieking that the both of them are demonspawn sent to destroy him. But Ed will be Ed, and surely that means doing the fun thing, for her at least.]

[The sudden approach has Karkat's feet moving before he can think. He scrambles from the doorway, sparing only a minimal glance at the furry pair. Had it only been one dog, or had Ed been more calmly curious than energetic, he might have tried his luck with defending himself. Instead, he's on the lookout for some way to get away - preferably, his instincts tell him, up above. Until then the plan is "run like hell."]

[waywardtomato]

[Barking with excitement, the red-corgi continues bounding after the cat. The cat wanted to run, so it was time to play chase the cat. Dogs did that, right?]

[Now painfully aware that Ed was going to continue to chase the cat regardless, the brown corgi chases after the red corgi, no longer bothering to try bark after her. She may be in a dog's body, but she did not speak the native tongue. If he could only get a little closer he would grab her by the scruff of the neck, like a mother would do to puppies who would wander too far. ]

[Karkat unfortunately has no clue of the browner corgi's good intentions, or he might try to herd the redder one his way. Somehow. Maybe. Then again, his feline brain is downright insistent about some things, this particularly.]

[It's only a matter of time before he finds a suitable tree. He leaps up and hauls ass, claws sticking in bark until he's curled into the crook of a branch. From there he hisses down at his pursuers.]

[waywardtomato]

[Edward skitters to a halt at the base of the tree, barking at the escaped quarry. She keeps bouncing up, trying to climb but her tiny legs do not provide the upward momentum she needs.]

[Arriving shortly after the brown corgi offers a conciliatory couple of barks. "Apologies, she gets excitable." He then walks up and gets the red corgi by the scruff of the neck. She instinctively goes mostly limp. Ein counted himself lucky in that regard, that at least the body she had knew when to calm down. He then begins to lead her away from the be-treed cat.]

[bethehugejerk]

[Sorry, Ein, but Karkat just doesn't speak dog. He is therefore pleasantly surprised when the brown corgi goes and tugs the red one away from the tree, enough that it takes him a moment before he can find his voice again.]

Uh--hey, thanks!

[Pause. Is he actually thanking someone about a dog that chased him up a tree?]

And for the record I am not this lame any other day of the sweep, but being a cat for this curse has inflicted me with a terminal case of instinct-based stupidity.

[Because that record totally needed to be set straight.]

While almost everyone was cursed with animal, 17 tried to occupy himself. He was disappointed that he wasn't affected by it. People who complained about it didn't know the concept of 'fun' out of it. So 17 wondered around to see who else was affected. After riding on a giant bird, was there any other amusing animals? Who knows.

17 spotted two corgis up ahead. He stared blankly for a moment. They would probably smell the cat hair on him.

[waywardtomato]

Smell it they did. The red corgi, fully taken to her role as dog, starts barking excitedly, and bouncily steaks towards the Person-Who-Smells-Like-Cat.

The brown corgi almost visibly sighs and and turns to follow the red corgi. He is barking as well, but his are directed towards the other dog. 'You cannot bark at everything that is a cat' is what he was trying to say, but even though his friend had turned into a dog, she did not seem to understand the native tongue.

[gunkonmyboot]

"Woah, hello there," 17 turned towards the dogs. Dogs, so energetic and playful. Why didn't he get a dog instead? Maybe next time. He crouched down to their level with his hand over the red corgi's head.

"Let me guess, you want to play."

[waywardtomato]

Edward had never considered playing as her new dog form before. Immediately the smell of cat was forgotten. The red hair corgi barks an affirmative, and starts hopping in excitement.

The brown corgi stops a few feet away, relieved that Ed was not going to attack the human. So long as she was safe, he did not care what sort of dog-related shenanigans she got herself into. Just a couple more days and she should be back in her normal form, according to the pamphlet at least.

[gunkonmyboot]

Well that settled that. 17 plopped himself on the ground, one knee up as the other was on an 'almost indian style'. He stared at the red one before he over looked the brown one.

"It seems your friend wants to sit and watch. That's fine. So what game should we play?"

[waywardtomato]

"Arf!" The Red corgi says, "Arf! Arf!" Continuing to jump around excitedly, and finally starts climbing over the now sitting 17.

Further back the brown corgi continued to watch. The human his friend was climbing all over didn't appear to be fully human. There was something about his bearing and movements that made him seem more then human. Oh well, he didn't sense any hostility, so as long as it didn't hurt Edward they would not have issues. Speaking of Edward, the brown corgi continues to be amused by Edwards handling of the curse, mostly even now that even when she was barking she only appeared to be saying 'arf' in dog.
