HAVE YOU SEEN THIS DOG?

[childofaxios]

MISSING







Belgian Malinois, approx five months in age, answers to the name "DOMITIUS/DOM."

He is trained not to approach or allow others to approach him when I'm not present. Disappeared from the Perimeter Guard facilities approx four hours ago. Vigorous search of the area has yielded no results.

Reward offered for any information leading to his return.

I would

I would like

I would appreciate it if someone with an understanding of magic might be able to determine if he still exists.


[ OOC NOTE: What happened, basically, is that someone decided Dom looked expensive enough to steal, and drugged and took him. Which means they now have a very angry Belgian Malinois on their hands, or with his teeth sunk into their hands. Feel free to have your character have seen him/heard him, and the more adventuresome could try to catch him. GOOD LUCK. ]

Oh! Oh no! [ Not knowing the dog (or his owner) in question doesn't seem to make her any less concerned for the missing dog's safety, from sound of her gasp. ] I hope that he has not stopped existing! I do not have helpful magic, but I will search for him too.

[ She doesn't trust herself not to cry right now SO TEXT IT IS. ]

Thank you. The more people look, the better.

He's still a puppy, I shouldn't worry so much, it's probably just disobedience.

[ IT'S FINE THIS IS FINE SHE'S FINE. ]

[glowfeelers]

I hope that he becomes not disobedient. [ By which she just means she hopes that he comes home. Then, an idea, ] Does your puppy like donuts?

[childofaxios]

Donuts?

He likes anything he's not supposed to have, really, but I don't know if he's ever had a donut before.

[glowfeelers]

Oh... well, I have donuts, and I thought that he may come out if I offered him one! And if he is no longer at the Perimeter Guard facility, then I will expand my search.

[ Oh no... NOT DOM. HE'S A GOOD DOG. And poor Chyler... ]

I can help

[ At first he leaves it at that, but... after dwelling on it for a few moments, he clarifies with a follow-up. ]

I mean. With the

magic

thing

[ Look, it's a big deal for him to even offer. HE TENDS TO AVOID DOING MAGIC, EVEN IF HE HAS AN APPRENTICE HE TEACHES. ]

[childofaxios]

Thank you.

[ It's really hard for her to not just repeat "thank you" over and over again, but she manages. ]

What do you need? How can I help?

[bardish]

He's kind of a part of you, right?

[childofaxios]

[ CUE HER EYES GOING BLURRY WITH TEARS. ]

Yes.

switching to PRIVATE AND VOICE

[bardish]

[ AW CHYLER NO. Dom's coming back to you, if Jeff has any say in the matter!

But he does switch to private, just because this can get... potentially awkward. And voice! Because, well, it's easier to say than write out?? ]

Iiii'm gonna need to listen to you sing. It's a whole... bard thing.

[She knows neither the dog or human in question, but damn it, Hawke's a Fereldan and thus she won't turn her back on a dog in need.

...besides if all goes well maybe she'll get to pet it.]

I will keep an eye out for him. No magic that'll help FIND him but if i do come across him i can get him to stay until you arrive

Strange though that he was at the pg facilities and yet no one saw a puppy escape?

[childofaxios]

Thank you.

That's part of what I don't understand. It's not as though he could open doors on his own. Someone should have seen him.

[indigobird]

That's really suspect. Either the perimeter guard is slacking something fierce or there's more to it than a pup getting loose. Is he usually prone to running off?

[childofaxios]

Never. He stays close to me almost all the time. Sometimes follows the German Shepard he's friends with out of the RR-1 offices, which is why I didn't think much of it when he wasn't at my desk when I came back from the bathroom.

[indigobird]

do you know to whom this shepard belongs?

We'll sweep the whole moon if we have to. He'll turn up.

[ This week RR-1 and friends pull up topographical maps and start marking out the search grid. There's only so far a dog can get in a few hours, right? He doesn't even have thumbs. ]

[childofaxios]

[ It feels incredibly reassuring to have Finn on this with her, even if she's still afraid that Dom might have disappeared entirely. ]

I would guess--I would hope--that he can't get outside the wall, so

You don't think he got outside the wall, do you?

[bythehand]

It's hard enough for a human to get out there. I don't see him managing it this early.

Everything that smells interesting is gonna be in the city anyway. He might be following a vendor around.

private;

[childofaxios]

You're right. You are.

[ A long pause, before she switches to private. ]

I'm just afraid whatever magic made him might have come undone.

private;

[bythehand]

[ That's fair. He hadn't really considered that one.

Magic doesn't make sense. No matter how much Taako swore it totally does. ]

If it happened after this long, we'll have more than a few official complaints to file. John might let us take a day to dig around about it.

But let's hold off on all the worst case scenarios. For now.

[ It's worth a shot. Even though she takes to optimism about as naturally as he does. ]

[gristle]

Does he have a big bark? Like deep and scary?

voice; @c.silva

[childofaxios]

No. He has a funny bark, a little squeaky-- Here.

[ She uploads a video. ]

That's him.

[gristle]

I think I heard him then. He's got a bar all his own. In the older buildings out towards the wall.

[childofaxios]

What part of the wall?

[gristle]

The north part, I think? Sorry, I'm new so I'm not sure of where everything is yet. I can go back and look if you want.
