A note is slapped onto the town board
Earlier today, while heading back to town, we encountered a wild dog. Not the kind that bites a chunk out of you when you aren't looking, the kind that comes begging for scraps. It looked like the wind would blow it over. It followed us to town, and while everyone went their seperate ways, there it stood, waiting for attention.
I gave it some jerky, and water to drink.
It seemed to respond to basic commands, sit, up, speak.
I thought of taking the mutt with me, someone who would always watch my back.
Then, an explosion came from the jail. The dog bolted toward it, and I followed. The dog and I rounded the corner, and a grenade flew toward us. There was no time to react. The pup snatched the grenade up in it's maw, and sprinted off into the distance. It saved my life.
I'll never forget you, pup.
There is a crudely drawn dog carved into the board below the note.
{Spoiler}Darren says "Pup!"
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] gives a solid woof.
**Darren removes a piece of jerky from his belt.
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] suddenly opens its mouth and pants, begging for the food.
**Darren throws it to the dog.
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] leaps into the air, snapping the item in its jaws.
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] lays on its belly and starts to chew on the meat.
**Darren squats, placing his hand above the dogs head, looking for any sign of aggression.
**Lusine Sarkissian lets out a small soft smile at the dog.
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] is too distracted by the food to react.
**Darren rubs his head, between the ears, "Hungry, huh?"
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] whimpers as it continues to eat.
**Darren scooped a hole into the ground, then removed a kind of reflective foil from his belt, overlaying it into the hole. He then removed a bottle of water, and poured it inside.
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] freezes, staring at the reflective object until the water showed, it quickly dropped the last little bit of meat on the ground and scooted forward towards the bottle.
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] rapidly laps up the water, an unqunchable thirst in its eyes.
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] pauses as the small tarp is emptied, staring at the empty item.
**Darren refills.
**Darren had a tight smile, seemingly in thought.
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] 's muzzle plunges into the water, rapidly drinking yet again, its ribs pulsating and shaking as it swallows.
**Darren slides another piece of jerky out, giving the dog another rubdown.
**Darren drops it to the ground.
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] pauses, rolling onto its back and showing its belly to the man, letting out a soft woof.
**Darren rubs. He rubs nice and good. "Good dog."
Darren says "You seem trained, bud. You have a master before?"
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] pauses, letting out a short whine.
**Darren stopped petting, motioning two fingers vertically, flicking them, "Up, boy."
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] stands back up, looking confused at the man, grabbing the jerky treat as well.
Darren says "You know how to sit? Sit."
**The dog eventually sits down gingerly.
Darren says "Up."
**Darren motions up.
**the dog stands back up, a light whimper and a bit of a trip going on in the back leg as it trys to do so.
**Darren scritches the dog's head, "Good! You wanna come with me? Keep me company?"
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] lets out an alerted bark.
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] sprints into action.
**Darren follows.
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] freezes at the sight of the weapon, whimpering.
**A plasma grenade would be tossed around the corner.
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] lets out an alarmed yipe, dropping the jerkey treat and gripping the grenade in its mouth.
**[You see a ragged looking dog that cou...] sprints off, letting out a howl of alarm.
In the distance, a massive blast of plasma went off, at the same time as an agonizing howl as bits of fur and blood were thrown in multiple directions across the town.
Rest in piece doggo, gave his life to save a drifter and a grifter.
