[004] miss barnabas meets the world... sort of...

[no puppy sounds. sorry puppy is sleeping. so Elle is being *quiet* because puppy just got to sleep and it's been a long day of puppy. Puppy with Del so it's at least good on that level. But Elle is writing now glancing behind her every so often to make sure it's still breathing.]

So the this morning Del and I went for a walk. Walks are good and then walks end you up at pet stores and puppies end up in arms and then suddenly brilliant plans are hatched and now there is puppy. Well the puppy is Miss Barnabas and Del and I are going to share her. Or both take care of her. Or something. I don't really know how we're going to work it out but I know that it's in my room now sleeping. [goes to check again] Yeah it's sleeping.

Del's had a puppy before, but I never have so I just really hope that it's okay and safe.

[Adam]

So I know I was going to just do some research and help you figure out what kind of puppy to get Del, but then things got confusing and I think I was talking about something else, and then she looked upset and I hate it when she looks upset and she asked if I wanted the puppy too? And I mean it's pretty cute? So I said okay and I know you promised her a puppy but now she has one with me? I don't want you to be upset, but I also really need help with this... because it's alive and depending on me. I couldn't even keep a plant alive in Hartsdale.

A friend of Del's?

[still writing because whispers might even wake the puppy]

Yes! I'm Elle.

Del and Elle. Cute. It's nice to meet you.

Aww thanks! The name thing always makes me giggle.

It's good to meet you too, and you are?

Preeeesents.

I do like the scheme you two have together.

Yoshiya Kiryu. Call me Joshua. Or Presents, if you prefer's Del's name. [smiley]

Thanks, so do I. Del's great.

Joshua is a good name, so is Presents I guess! Though I don't know what it means, as far as that goes.

That she is.

I'm not quite sure where the association came from, myself. [laugh] Other than what triggered our first conversation, that is.

What triggered the conversation? Did you give her something?

Oh no. She was commenting on a present that was given to someone else. We fell into talking after that. Del's a very interesting person.

Oh that makes a bit more sense I think.

She really is, I don't think I've ever met anyone like her.

But the jump from there... Well, I don't think I'll ask. [laugh]

And you? How did you end up with Del?

I came here after my friend Adam did? Adam knows her and so I think that helped a bit. Del is very friendly though, and we have a bit in common sort of?

I can see the similarities. It's striking.

The two of you got a puppy together?

It's not

I mean

It got confusing. I didn't mean for it to happen. But there's Miss Barnabas and she's sleeping.

Don't be upset with me?

I'm not upset. I'm trying to figure out how there is a puppy.

There is more than one pet shop. Did you know that?

We were walking and then there were puppies. I held one and Del held one and she named it. Then I put it back, but she asked about if I wanted one and I said I wouldn't be good with it, and she said you would help but I said that you had Peter and all of Peter's animals because I forgot that you were going to help her and she thought that you wouldn't be able to help her... and it got all confusing.

But now there is puppy?

I did not, no. I'd only seen the one we went to...

She thought I wouldn't help her? Elle...I'll help either of you. You know that, or you should. Peter and his animals do not need my assistance.

No, it was my fault she thought you wouldn't help, cause I got all mixed up. She does that 'he likes' 'she likes' thing when talking about me and sometimes herself? I don't know it got confusing and I was still sort of upset and it's all okay now.

Miss Barnabas? Interesting name.

I had a puppy here once. Well. Sort of. She wasn't mine, but she thought she was. Or, alternatively, that I was hers.

((ooc: Rofl, I searched 'Miss Barnabas' on Google and this post was like, the third thing to come up. :P))

Edited 2008-08-11 16:26 (UTC)

Del named her! I think her other dog was Barnabas so this is Miss Barnabas, but I call her MB when I write about her because that's a lot to write out everytime.

What happened to your puppy?

Ahhh. [heh] Cute.

Oh, she... well, she belonged to a friend of mine. That friend left a few months ago, so I suppose little Queenie went, too. I haven't seen her since. -- The puppy, I mean.

She sleeps a lot, or eats my hair. Well not really eating my hair, but getting it really gross.

Oh, that's sad. But I hope that means she got to keep her dog.

[ooc: heee I hate the darn indexing thing on google for that very reason ha! I turn it off on all my journals]

[a laugh would go here] I know what you mean. Queenie used to stick her nose in my hair and sniff when I was trying to sleep. Usually that meant 'feed me', but I dunno why she didn't go after her owner for that. I was the food man. My fault for carrying treats.

I... doubt it.

Huh. I should see if it means MB wants to eat. I have never had a pet before. I had a plant? But it died. I really really don't want MB to die though.

Oh.

Ooh. Might want to get on that, seeing if anyone here can help with learning how to take care of a dog.

Still. Hopefully Queenie's somewhere nice and not stranded in the ether.

I put out a bowl with food and another one with water. I know not to over feed him?

That would be horrible!

All right, good.

Yeeeah. Quite.

Yeah it should be.

Is that really what happens?

Still sleeping?

I have no idea; I was actually just being facetious. But the things that disappear have got to go somewhere. Queenie came from a horde of Dalmatians that appeared out of nowhere last June, so they must've come from somewhere, just like people must go somewhere when they die. No idea where, but. It's somewhere.

Yeah on her back it's kind of funny to watch.

A horde of Dalmatians? That sounds... underfoot problem inducing!

What sort of dog is she?

Yeah, there were well around a hundred of them. Some of them disappeared, some of them were kept as pets.

She's a puppy? She doesn't look like anything in particular. Short hair though, and her skin seems a bit too big because when I pick her up it feels like it's sliding, which is gross, but it's soft so it's not so gross. She has big feet too.

You can come visit her if you want. You know when she's not sleeping.

A hundred? Who'd ever hear of something crazy like that!

[heh] Sure. I'd like to.

Weeell, hate to use the generic explainer, but this is Paradisa.
