Capsule 003 💊 (Video)

[rassera]

[Hey citizens, you're looking kind of down. Anyone in need of some cheering up? Because gosh darn you're going to get it. The feed opens up to Kaneda, who despite the bruising still on his face and neck, has a smile so bright it could make a cloudy day ashamed of itself. He's sitting in his room, wearing only his worn yellow tshirt and his orange biker pants. His room's pretty average, nothing out of the ordinary.

Except for a rather playful golden retriever puppy now bouncing across it, trying to pounce on his lap. And...tripping into it. Graceful creature, really.]

So.

Guess I've got a dog now.

[His attention goes to the puppy in front of him, hands held up as the curious animal starts to try and nibble his fingers.]

Ah ah! Behave...say 'hi'...

[His voice is more gentle than usual, finger tapping the little guy on the nose. To which the dog turns his head to the camera, nose getting closer and closer and--]

HEYHEYHEY!! DON'T EAT THAT!

[After a few moments of shaky camera, it's wrestled back, Kaneda now holding the dog in his arms. And although the screens got a little puppy slobber, that smile still there. His opposite hand reaches up, scritching behind the dog's ears a moment as he thinks.]

Capsule. That's pretty fitting for a name, huh?

Comments

[resipiscent]

Holy crap, he's cute.

[rassera]

[That gets a wide smile out of him, as the puppy seems to struggle in his arms.]

Careful, you might give him an ego.

[Like you don't have one yourself, Kaneda.]

[amadaman]

[STANDING IN YOUR DOORWAY SNICKERING. Koromaru is watching too. Neither of them are helpful in the slightest.]

action;

[rassera]

[You are the actual worst, Ken. Look at that puppy struggling in his arms. Although, when he sees Koromaru, he's instantly trying to wiggle his way out towards him.]

So much for professional, right?

[hands4healing]

That's really a cute puppy!

...I think everyone who has a dog should get together soon.

[rassera]

[He laughs, as the dog tilts his head at the sound of a new voice. Looks like he's taken a liking to you, Winry.]

Musta got it from me.

[Okay, bad joke, but he lives on those.]

How many people got dogs in this place anyway?

[stealwithit]

Seriously? So, that makes... two dogs, six cats, and a bull?

voice

[rassera]

We can always put the bull outside.

[YOU DIDN'T HEAR THAT, BULL.]

LOOK WHO IT IS; video

[lasthugs]

Oh my gosh!

[it's a Mom. With a cast on her nose for now so she should probably be careful about her face but who cares THERE'S A DOG.]

Oh, how cute! Hello there, buddy!

video;

[rassera]

[That nose is going to be such a good conversation starter after this, Cass. Moms with face injuries get those one of two ways: either bumping into a door or by kicking serious ass.

The puppy, however, seems to respond to her voice, ears perking up and trying to stretch himself forward.]

Careful, you might steal him away from me!

video

[glitterateur]

You got a puppy!

[The high-pitched noise that Mabel's making is probably super annoying. Dang.]

video

[rassera]

[He winces a little at the noise, but the smile's still there--Capsule, however, tilts his head wayyyy to the side. WHAT IS THIS NEW SOUND???]

Heh, you bet!

Wanna come see him?

voice;

[whathawksdo]

You know, I've noticed this trend lately, so I feel the need to ask. Do you even know how to care for a dog?

voice;

[rassera]

[Well...no, but!]

Don't they say 'the only source of knowledge is experience'?

Someone said that, I couldn't make that up.

[rassera]

[Wow hi asshole he's still kind of pissed you went nuclear on him

But he'll type back. AGGRESSIVELY. Pressing the keys hard and everything. NOT THAT YOU CAN TELL BUT WHATEVER.]

thanks i gave him a bath

Video

[logicunlocked]

Adorable little guy, but I gotta ask, what about 'im made you think Capsule?

Video

[rassera]

[He smiles, scritching behind the dog's ear.]

Representing my boys back home. It was the name of our gang, 'The Capsules.'

[Especially the dead ones.]

Pretty nice ring to it, huh?

Action

[iamtetsuo]

[Oh, hi. Guess who's leaning heavily in the doorway.]

What've you got there...?

[As if he can't tell.]

Action

[rassera]

[His head snaps up, muscles tensing out of instinct. Last time they talked, Kaneda was getting his ass slammed into three walls of concrete. Good times? Good times.]

...

It's a dog. What, your eyes busted?

[He knows damn well Tetsuo knows what it is.]

[melavasomniar]

Looks like that little guy's going to be a bit of a troublemaker.

[rassera]

[Double trouble, right here.]

You think so? This cute face?

video | id reads "power girl"

[boobwindow]

Personally, I'm more of a cat person, but that's cute.

video;

[rassera]

[He smiles a little at the ID, picking the puppy up and holding him close to his face.]

You hear that, buddy? You got some work to do to win this lady over.

[And Capsule just licks his nose.]

Not ME!

[orions_shadow]

Capsule?

Like...Cappy?

He's cute. I finally settled on naming this one Kitkat. Like the candy.

[rassera]

Cappy?

[Capsule makes a headtilt at the guy on the other side of the screen. YOU LOOK LIKE A GIANT WEIRD DOG--thats a cat, Capsule]


..

[Wait.]

You're a cat.

Video;

[worldeater]

Capsule?

[Brow lift. The flippancy of names, yeesh!]

Video;

[rassera]

[HEY BUDDY~

How's his favourite dragon-turned-squishy doing.]

Great name, huh? I think he likes it.

[cuff]

I'm startin to think it's the month for the little guys.

[rassera]

Lot of em popping up, huh...

[He pulls Capsule into his lap, bouncing him once or twice.]

Hear that, little guy? You got some competition.

Video;

[trickstar]

"Capsule," are you kidding?? You have to go with like- "Spunky" or "Fido" or something!

Video;

[rassera]

What kind of a name is 'Fido'?

[He looks down at the dog, grabbing his front paws and wiggling them.]

Yeah, see? Not ringing a bell with him.

video;

[hoboagogo]

[oh man it's adorable. Shinjiro's going to try not to show it too much, but there's still a faint upwards turn to his lips.]

Nice dog. Guess now's the time you gotta work on training him. Looks like 'drop it' might be the place to start.

video;

[rassera]

[Yes, he is pretty adorable, isn't he. Kaneda can't help but do the same as he watches the puppy roll all over his bed, pawing at the air.]

Gotta start soon or they get attitude. Know that from experience.

[Tetsuo was just a little more hassle than a dog, though.]

video

[neatniks]

[ Okay, that's cute and all, but... ]

There's no way you should be left in charge of another living being.

video

[rassera]

[He expected that to come from Wasabi, so it gets a little shrug, pulling the puppy into his arms.]

Raised one already, I'm good to go.
