[Filtered to Brave Vesperia]

Hey, Brave Vesperia members- Zack here. I know that Estelle talked about disbanding the guild, but I think there's still a need for what we were here to do for the village. Karol left us all betters, and I got the feeling that disbanding isn't what he would've wanted. Maybe I'm wrong, but... it just doesn't feel like it.

Either way, I want to keep the group running, and I know I'm not the only one, either.

If you disagree and wanna bow out, that's fine- no hard feelings or anything. Just let me know which of you are going to stick around, so we can update the roster.

For everybody staying in the guild, we've got a commission job from the SOS Brigade! So keep your eyes peeled for the details, and I'll try to get them ASAP.

Light! Wanna meet in the Battle Dome this afternoon? Got a little surprise for you.


[Today (aside from, hopefully, a bit of afternoon fun with a certain lovely lady) Zack will be hanging out around Good Spirits, mostly, either working at the bar as usual or chilling outside, trying to teach the most wretched looking dog ever to live (AKA "Just Dog") how to fetch. And probably failing miserably. Why won't his dogs ever fetch 8| This is obviously Daisy's fault.]


[[ooc: AND AND AND guys you don't have to do a thread with Zack if you don't want to or would rather leave it assumed, but either way PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE everyone comment OVER HERE to say who is staying in BV. I'll have an ongoing roster for a while and announce it a few times, too. I don't want anyone to get accidentally kicked. Thank you!]]

[ a certain someone's coming over to work. he's late, super late, but he's brought food - that's got to be worth something, right? he'd decided to take an hour just to snoop around the village for any sign of izaya doing something underhanded and had just gotten caught up in his own thoughts. especially about the past experiment.

he'll just stop once he sees zack tossing a ball around. his silly, wheezy dog hasn't quite caught onto the purpose of this throwing. ]

[Zack glances over as Shizuo approaches, tossing the ball in his direction.]

Here, you try. He won't listen to me.

[Truth be told he's not sure Shizuo's dog is that smart.]

action.

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

[ he catches it with one hand, looking down at the sad sack of an animal who... looks marginally more lively once his owner comes into view. ]

You tryin' to get him to fetch?

action.

[wingenvy]

Sort of. I'm not getting much out of him, though.

action.

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

Huh. [ he looks down at the dog, now eagerly pawing at his leg and whining pathetically. ]

Wanna fetch, boy?

[herotypical]

[ ...this is the first day she's walked to work since bones left. she drums up a friendly smile when she sees zack but it turns out rather sickly. ]

I think you need to give him more treats. Encouragement. [ this said of the dog. ]

[ action ]

[wingenvy]

Hey, Buffy. [He ponders asking, then opts to put it off a little longer.] ...I've tried treats, but I just think he's not too good at listening to anyone but Shizuo.

[ action ]

[herotypical]

That's loyalty for you.

[ action ]

[wingenvy]

I'm kinda wondering if he isn't just stupid.

[Some dogs are dumb, okay? And "Just Dog" doesn't even bat an eye at the suggestion.]

Filtered!

[thestormishere]

What is it?

[ Lightning, that's not how you're supposed to-- oh well. ]

Filtered!

[wingenvy]

[....Oh, Light.]

You don't get many surprises, do you?

Filtered!

[thestormishere]

[ -- Oh, well, she's definitely kind of frowning to herself now. Sure, she gets lots of surprises! They just... tend to be ones that involve... like, a trap door springing open to reveal a giant robot to fight when she's already tired and hasn't eaten in two days. Or her friends being kidnapped. Or-- yeah. ]

... Not really. [ She's pretty skilled in the art of sounding at once dry-toned and apologetic though, right? There's a quiet sigh, but then- ] Should I bring my gunblade?

Filtered!

[wingenvy]

Haha, nah, you don't need the gunblade. Just bring yourself!

[And hopefully a sense of indulgence because this could go well or badly depending on her mood, really.]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Well, I guess I'm still in. I'm not going to be stuck in charge, am I? [He does have some seniority by now.]

[Voice]

[wingenvy]

No worries! Nobody gets put in charge unless they want to be. If the job's open and no one protests, I don't mind taking it.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

And that's how you pull off your take over... Nice.

[Voice]

[wingenvy]

It's all in how you look at it, man. It's not a takeover! We're just... you know. Under new management.

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

... Yeah. I don't think Karol or Yuri would want us to disband. They started it here for a reason, and I want to keep that reason alive.

You know I'm still in.

[Voice]

[wingenvy]

Good to hear it! I figured you would be, actually.

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

... Heh. You saw me talking about it with Estelle, didn't you?

[Voice]

[wingenvy]

Yeah, kinda. Sorry for being nosy, I just wondered what other people thought about the guild closing down.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[ Aerith is just walking by when the ball sails past her harmlessly. She watches it until it's rolling in the grass and then looks back along its trajectory at where Zack and the dog are--a small, amused smile breaking out when she notices both their enthusiasm levels, and she tips her head at the dog. ]

So are you going to get that, or should I?

[wingenvy]

[The dog slowly looks in her direction and responds in a rather unimpressive "whuff". And doesn't move.

Cue a sigh from his fail trainer.]

I think it'd better be you, or the ball's just gonna sit there and rot in the snow before long.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[ She laughs lightly and goes to pick it up--then tosses it at Zack with a light underhand. ]

Catch!

[ ...Even if the aim's a bit off-center. ]

[wingenvy]

[Eh, it's close enough for him to make a dive for it, snatching it out of the air. He then waves it in front of the dog's nose, giving it a disapproving stare.]

Hey, you know, you're supposed to be the one catching it! You could at least look interested or something.
