you ever have something happen to you that you're like "nah that'll never happen to me" but then here you are, plus one dog and feeling the weight of parental responsibility on your shoulders? i'm too young for this. anyway this is ruffles at the dog park just now! retrospec's width limitations suck but, you can probably tell he's a really good dog. well, i guess, with his previous owner and all. so i pose this question to you: do you think animals can feel sad and do they miss people that are no longer here?

[are you talking about yourself or the dog, prompto?]

[mercurio]

i'll try those commands soon
yeah he did! it was kinda out of the blue but i understand he didn't just want to dump him in the animal shelter

[momentaryspring]

That makes sense. I guess he must have figured you were someone he could trust.

With such a good dog!

[ who's a good dog, ruffles ]

[mercurio]

yeah i guess that's right [which is why it makes it bittersweet?!]
you can come hang out with ruffles any time you want, with checkers

[momentaryspring]

Sure, we can go to the dog park sometime. Checkers likes this one that has a hot dog stand nearby.

For obvious reasons, of course.

[mercurio]

i know it isn't literally a dog but a dog liking hot dogs just seems so wrong

[momentaryspring]

Well, we could call them something else.

Frankfurters? Weenies?

[mercurio]

we need new words for hot dogs
let's call them franks for now

[momentaryspring]

Franks. Got it.

Hey. You know how people have been talking about... things? Weird things? Like memories surfacing all of a sudden?

[mercurio]

uh yeah, hard not to
what about it?

[momentaryspring]

It's just that I, too, have a memory. I didn't tell anyone else about it, since you know how people usually react to that sort of thing, but...

I saw a Yeti.

[mercurio]

dude
what the fuck
that's the best one i've heard yet
where??

[momentaryspring]

I think it was in Japan. But it was dark and raining.

It had thick, shaggy dark fur all over, and it was big. Way taller than I was. The weird thing was, it had long, curved horns, kind of like a bull.

[mercurio]

it's too bad that all you got is a memory about it
and it being in japan
i doubt we'll have anything like that in the forest here

[momentaryspring]

Perhaps it's best this way. After all, is the world really ready for the implications of the existence of Yetis?

[mercurio]

we're watching expedition unknown together
there's a special on the yeti

[momentaryspring]

Huh? Who's we?

[mercurio]

you and i
if that's cool

[momentaryspring]

Oh

[ someone inviting him to something WHAT WAS HAPPENING ]

Okay, sure. Yes.

What kind of snacks do you like while you watch things?
