Creepy Old Abandoned Mansion on Phoenix Way, Saturday Morning

Derek had actually had three puppies stick around in his house after Thursday. Not that he'd wanted them or anything, but they hadn't gone away.

Or left him alone.

And they kept eating his food.

But today? Today there was only one puppy left. In the middle of the night, two of the puppies had left to go find a better place. Possibly some sort of Alpha herd of teal deer. And that got Derek's abandonment issues all up in a tizzy.

Which was possibly why he was allowing that last dog to stay. Even though it looked like a genetic experiment between a dog and a ball of cotton. It was just so fluffy.

He stared down at the dog, trying to will it into being something more intimidating so that allowing it to stay wasn't such a chore. The dog attempted to gnaw on his jacket in response. Look, it was a puppy. Puppies are about as smart as a very hungry rock.

[[Open if you know the place!]]

Jack generally considered his poker face an essential asset. But something about Derek standing there in leather and stubble and a scowl, with a happy little purse dog who could have been made of cotton tucked neatly under one arm --

He couldn't help it. He laughed, staggering back to sit on some random piece of furniture so he wouldn't fall over.

"It will grow up." And that was undignified.
justlurkinghere: (sighing maturely)

"I hate you," Derek informed him, rolling his eyes as the dog barked along with the laughter. Because it hadn't heard laughter since living with Derek.

No one had ever accused Pinkie of being concerned with dignity.

"Bubbles McFluffytown?"

"No." Derek, try being helpful instead. "It's being called 'Dog'."
bitten_notshy: ([neu] on the edge)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2012-09-16 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Sorry," Jack said, and meant it. (Mostly.) "Don't hate me. You're just, um ... quite a sight with your new friend."

"It gets lost." That wasn't helping you, Derek. Not at all.

"That's not a name. What if I just went around calling you 'Human'?"
justlurkinghere: (creeper in the woods)

[personal profile] justlurkinghere 2012-09-16 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that wouldn't be accurate at all.

"Dog works fine." He glared down at the dog. "Dog."

It had no reaction out of the ordinary.

"Have you had to rescue him from the woods yet?"

That mental image wasn't helping much, no.

"The basement." STAIRS WERE HARD, OKAY?

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2012-09-16 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Jack raised his eyebrows as he looked about, considering this. "Poor little guy. I think I would be afraid to go down in the basement here."

"It's just another room." And you were the thing that went bump in the night, Jack. "Better than some places."

"You're not very good at this, are you?" Pinkie guessed.
bitten_notshy: ([neg] no really.)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2012-09-16 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
"I know that." Oh, there went that slight, defensive edge of steel in Jack's voice. "I'm just saying, I doubt there's a cozy library with a year's supply of cognac at the foot of your stairs. Never mind, I'm being silly."
justlurkinghere: (did you just make a Buffy reference?)

Derek gave him a mildly confused look for a moment before placing the dog back down to run around at Jack's feet. God, it was hyper.

"No. Just Christmas ornaments as far as I can tell."

Because that was a given in an abandoned house.

Derek glared at her in a way that said 'Yes, I am so socially awkward, it makes people sad to look at me.'

Pinkie gave a long suffering sigh. "What are some names you like?"
bitten_notshy: ([neu] at your service)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2012-09-16 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Jack smiled at the dog, grateful for the distraction. He started checking for a ball or stick he could toss to it.

"Wonder who lived here before you," he mused idly.
justlurkinghere: (oh god what now?)

[personal profile] justlurkinghere 2012-09-16 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Or just give it fingers to gnaw on. Oh, that teething phase.

"Long gone," Derek replied, leaning against the wall due to lack of chairs. "Are you here for a reason?"

Wow, way to suck at politeness, Derek.
justlurkinghere: (:[)

[personal profile] justlurkinghere 2012-09-16 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no, he wasn't playing this game. Nuh uh. "Dog works fine," he replied defensively.

"That's not a name," Pinkie said. "It's like if even Donut Joe had to change his name from 'Pony Joe'."

"It's not ridiculous, at least." Dog or Colonel Poof Poof. It was just possibly between them a normal name could happen.

[personal profile] locointhecoco 2012-09-16 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Everypony needs a name, Derek."
justlurkinghere: (creeper in the woods)

[personal profile] justlurkinghere 2012-09-16 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
"Joe." YOU SUGGESTED IT. KIND OF. IN A WAY.
