[There is a very sleek and handsome doberman on the Network right now. He's sitting in front of a door, which he paws at a few times before making a huffing sound. Welp, he's trapped in his room.]

If anyone still has their opposable thumbs, I could use a little help. Level 5, Room 2.

[There's a brief pause. He cocks his head.]

Just out of curiosity: what'd the rest of you get?

[He just wants to know what this flood says about the rest of you. And where he stands on the Barge's current food chain.]

[OPEN SPAM] [And you can find Arthur padding around the Barge as his guard doggy self. He'll be around to break up fights between other animals, carry tiny sugar gliders around, chase small and fluffy creatures (and sticks and whatnot), and grudgingly accept pettings.

Also, you can find him sitting forlornly in front of the CES, which he can't access because he has neither thumbs nor his warden item on him. LET HIM IN TO CHASE THINGS.]

[OOC: At work, so tags will be sporadic until the evening.]

I'll be right *ksht* there. Permission to teleport inside?

[paradoxlol]

Be my guest. You're a life saver. [Possibly literally. He doesn't really keep much food in his cabin.]

[Arkady pops in after a moment and squeals ridiculously.] Oh, you look so dapper. Here, I'll unlatch the door. Are you hungry?

[He spots the other dog, hardly being able to stop himself he barks excitedly and bounds over to greet him near the CES.]

Hey! Yo!

Which one are you? Have we met?

[Arthur's stub of a tail wags slowly in greeting.]

Arthur. One of the librarians here. [He sniffs the air, as if that'll tell him who this is-- nope, no such luck.] And you're...?

Re: Spam

[maxwells_demon]

Duo Maxwell. Ladd's Warden.

[paradoxlol]

Ah. [He's not acquainted with Ladd, but he's seen him around, caught his presence on the Network.] You must have your hands full with him. Or. Paws.

Re: Spam

[maxwells_demon]

Most of the time, yeah. I'm just taking it slow with him. It's gonna be a long time coming before he graduates.

[tatty_bye]

To whom am I speaking?

[paradoxlol]

Arthur. And you're... Reaver? [He's guessing by the distinctive Stephen Fry voice.]

[tatty_bye]

Well-spotted.

[A 'hmph' that makes his whiskers flare]

I wouldn't have pictured you a dog, personally.

[paradoxlol]

[He arches his brow, as best as he can.] What would you have pictured me as?

[tatty_bye]

[He has been fascinated by a light on the screen, but his gaze snaps back]

Hm?

Something more... feline, actually.

[paradoxlol]

I've spent enough time as a cat during one of the breaches. This is a change, at least.

[tatty_bye]

Yes, if that is all you are concerned about. [As he grooms the fur on his face and head.]

[paradoxlol]

Is there something wrong with being a dog?

[tatty_bye]

I suppose not. It just carries a more submissive connotation than I envision you with -- not that this is a bad thing.

[paradoxlol]

Dogs are loyal, not submissive.

[ichoosefight]

Level five room... [ Yes she knows where most of her friends live. ]

Arthur?

[paradoxlol]

That's right. [Pauuuuse. He recognizes that otter's voice.] Steph?

[Not quite the animal he was expecting for her.]

[ichoosefight]

Hi.

I think I've got more useful hands than you do, but no opposable thumbs.

[paradoxlol]

Luckily, Arkady and her thumbs are on their way.

Need a hand? I can send her to you next.

[ichoosefight]

Nah, I'm good. I have the whole 'turning things' thing down, so far that's served me pretty well.

[paradoxlol]

Yeah, your paws seem like they'd be more useful than mine.

So, feel any particular urge to go for a swim? [Because Arthur certainly feels some doggy impulses, himself.]

[ichoosefight]

Only all day. I an do so many flips under water, it's awesome.

[bobobbin]

Otter. I'm an otter. This is nuts.

[paradoxlol]

Second otter I've seen. I wonder if you and Steph have anything else in common. [Or if this is really just random.]

I'm Arthur, by the way.

[bobobbin]

Robin. Dr Robin Hudson. New here.

Oh, I spoke to her when I first got here. If there's only one Steph, that is. She's one too?

[buildindreemz]

I'm glad you got something bigger than a shoe. [Have a tiny pink nose and large black eyes looking at you, Arthur.]

[paradoxlol]

[Arthur paws at the screen because TINY CREATURE.]

Me too. [Pause. He snickers.] That's a good look on you.

[buildindreemz]

I'm not as impressed with your new look. I was expecting an emperor penguin.

video; damn, now I wish I HAD made him a penguin

[paradoxlol]

Everyone's a critic. I don't think I look that bad.

video; rofl!

[buildindreemz]

I didn't say you look bad! You're still very handsome, I promise.
