2nd story [action]

[readingwishbone]

[A little dog is laying down at the side of a street with a great air of sadness. Why does he seem so down? Well, there's this bright red ball sitting just beside his muzzle, and it's not moving. A ball that isn't thrown isn't fun at all. So he'll just lay here and give sad eyes at people until they play with him

[Oh. It's a dog.

Goodie.]

[readingwishbone]

[CAT.

These things need to be dealt with carefully.

Wishbone barks are surprisingly loud for such a little dog. BEGONE CAT.]

[flicker_flash]

[Loud, annoying thing. The ears go back and the kitten shoots the dog a disdainful look. Don't get on her bad side, it's been a bad month.

STALKIN' BY YOU WITH HER TAIL IN THE AIR.]

[readingwishbone]

[Typical arrogant cat!

Wishbone barks at it and jumps at it and barks some more. The streets are safer without a feline like you!]

[myvictorymarch]

What the hell do you think you're looking at, mutt?

[readingwishbone]

[Wishbone's ears flick back at the hostile voice. He nudges the ball towards him with pleading eyes.]

[myvictorymarch]

[Accelerator scowls, and continues to stare down at Wishbone for a moment.]

Fine...

[He looks around. There doesn't seem to be anyone paying attention...

So he picks up the ball and gives it a toss.]

[readingwishbone]

[Wishbone bounds after it as though his life depends on catching that ball. The ball bounces off of a building and Wishbone is forced to do a sharp right turn that nearly throws him off balance. But no fear! The great and mighty Wishbone can capture any ball no matter the challenge!

He does one particularly large leap and lands with both paws on the ball. Now this would be fine, but his momentum carries him forward and sends him tumbling onto the ground.]

[mog_summoner]

[There's a doggy!

And soon a very interested looking six year old sitting behind the doggy.]

...You know just staring at it isn't going to make it move, right?

[readingwishbone]

[Wishbone has learned to be wary of small children. Their cunning is greater than the adults gave them credit for. However, he does want to play, so he decides to put aside his slight prejudice against them.]

I know it's not. But making it move myself isn't very fun at all.

[mog_summoner]

[That is very true for Eiko, but she loves animals! So she's nicer to them than she is to people sometimes..]

Wanna play then?

[readingwishbone]

Yes I do! What do you want to play?

[happyends]

[ Oh, how could Madoka ever leave an animal in need alone.. (we all know how that ended up last time, anyway.) So she approaches, giving the dog a little smile as she gestures at the red ball. ]

Um.. Do you want to play with it?

[readingwishbone]

[Wishbone's tail instantly begins to wag as he pulls himself up into a begging position. See how well he can balance on his hind legs?]

I'd love to!

[happyends]

[ There's a definite moment of surprise-- hey, it's a talking dog, you don't see that every day, but.. after that moment she figures it's Luceti. It's very normal for even talking dogs to appear here, right? So maybe she should just pretend it's normal and go along with it.. ]

Ahaha, in that case, I definitely wouldn't mind helping you out. [ There's something slightly more awkward about her now though. ]

[readingwishbone]

Excellent!

[He takes a running head start and turns around to face her. He crouches eagerly and barks, ready to go in any direction that she throws the ball.]

[lostinmyway]

[Oh, my. What a cute little dog. But he looks so sad. Hmm....

Grune kneels down next to him and starts petting him, giving him a warm smile all the while.] Hello, there! Is something the matter?

[readingwishbone]

[Wishbone sighs and turns his face away from Grune dramatically.]

My ball. It's not doing anything.

[lostinmyway]

[She stops petting him and instead picks up the ball, giving it a confused look.] Oh, isn't it?

[Grune…doesn't really understand hints. At all.]

[readingwishbone]

[Wishbone's ears perk when she picks up the ball and he sits up eagerly. Are you going to throw it?]

No, but you can change that right?
