Hello? Hello, yes.

[The dog comes into focus at an odd angle - the communicator is on the floor, between her forepaws as she peers down over it. Apparently satisfied that it's working, she yips in delight, rushing out of view in a close-up whirl of paws and tail and glimpses of an old timber ceiling as she spins in a circle. Then her face reappears, tongue hanging out slightly from her canine grin.]

Hello! I'm the Disreputable Dog. Or the Disreputable Bitch, if you want to be technical. Who wants to go for a walk?

[ She chuckles, but at the same time she sobers momentarily at the thought of her family. Soon she brightened again, remembering that she was here to bring them back, not her baby cousin but everyone else. All of her family and all of her friends. She just has to stay hopeful. ]

[Mogget - Yrael - does not mean well. But his grievances are just the tiniest bit justified, so she's staying out of his way for a little while. Like, maybe a century or two.]

[ Kara is not so much a cat person as a dog person, luckily for the Dog. She takes slower but longer strides in subconscious agreement. ]

Dogs more often than others, I would think, with your attitude towards walks.

Not as many legs as some, but more than humans certainly.

[ She glances around as though suddenly remembering that they're moving. ]

Are we going anywhere in particular? We'll be at the stairs in a moment.

We're exploring!

...up smells interesting.

[Both ways do. But if they follow the Dog's impulses, they will probably end up at the kitchens.]

[ Kara gives the Dog a sidelong look. ]

Isn't that where the kitchens are?

I don't know! I just got here.

[Yes, probably.]

Well, I think a lot of things are up, generally speaking. [ The bar, the meeting room, the pool, the CES, the CTS... though she's not sure exactly how to get to each of them. ]

It's as good a way to explore as any.
