2nd Chant - Attack of the Dog Lord

[reluctantbastard]

Who: Alistair Theirin and you
Broadcast: no
Action: SS Blue Fish and the Iskaulit
When: August 9th - end of the month

Hair of the Dog - August 9th to August 24th

SS Blue Fish

On the morning of the 9th, the Blue Fish is going to be a little rowdier than normal as two very familiar looking dogs run around the ship. Accompanying them is an unhappy looking snow leopard that isn't able to fully outrun the bigger beasts. The amount of barking, hissing and running is unusual as they prance around the entirety of the ship, especially outside the room of a certain mustachioed mage.

Maybe someone should page their owner. :)

SS Iskaulit

Free of the confines of the smaller ship, Alistair-the-Mabari finds that running around the larger ship is fun. He spends time outside of the pool, the now abandoned mountain grove, the bars and restaurants. He is lugging around a ball, covered in drool. But anyone adventurous enough to try and approach him will be roped into a very vigorous game of fetch.

Come on. Don't you want to play with the happy doggo?

August 25th

After over two weeks of being a happy mabari, Alistair's augment rights itself and he's back to a person, but it's time for a rather long nap. No matter what anyone does, he will continue to sleep. And as he does, his face will get leaner and lines will start to form around his mouth and eyes. His hair will get darker from lack of sun. And anyone who sees him without a shirt on will notice there are more scars on his chest and arms than before.

[OOC: Hi, everyone! Alistair is going to be a doggo for a while before getting a canon update to the end of the comics. He will wake up on the 1st of September, but until then he will be having fun with Kiter and Riona.]

[ Well that's the decision made, isn't it? He huffs a short laugh and gets up, stretching before he follows along, not running to keep pace but following briskly. ]

[Of course it is. Any dog worth his bone treats is going to take an opportunity to play when it pops up. The Iskaulit is bigger than their ships and there's no time like the present.

Oh, look, that is a decently sized stick. It's about the size of a close umbrella and smells freshly fallen.

Yeah, this is the one.

He lets the human know that by barking and jumping before picking the stick up in his jaws and letting his tail nub wag. It's a strange feeling, but it's surprisingly normal.

It's probably a good thing no Marcher or Orlesian can see him now. King of the Dog Lords indeed right here.]

[ Look, the honest truth is, Daryl likes dogs. When he's not starving to the point of needing to eat them. Having a pet is a luxury he can't quite justify, but this isn't so bad, is it?

He reaches to take the stick, either to throw it or to play tug-of-war, he's not picky. ]

[What about a whole country that loves dogs? Loves them so much that they're on the flag and a lot of the decor choices for the nation's capital. He might even like Ferelden. Lot less undead.

Alistair is content to play fetch and tug-of-war both until he's tired. Then, he plops down on the ground, belly up. You have a job to do, Ser Dixon.]

[ Probably this will be awkward someday, when they talk. For now Daryl has no reason to suspect things aren't what they seem and he's happy to oblige, murmuring something about who might be a good boy (spoiler alert: it's definitely Alistair!) that he'd be hideously embarrassed to know anyone overheard.

This is definitely the highlight of Daryl's week. ]

[reluctantbastard]

[No, see, this is why he can do this without any sort of problems. He has a mabari. He'll just bring Kiter along for some pets and belly rubs. It works because it keeps the dog happy and then make sure that Daryl isn't awkward.

But, yes, it's good to know that someone else thinks that Alistair is a good boy. He's going to just roll around and make sure that all of him gets a lovely petting. (He might regret this later, but it's okay for now.)]
