Okay! [okay that was. absolutely off but also maybe not because regardless of who gemini is they love dogs. they grab lup's hand and hold on tight, scooting in a little closer before shadows surround them and portal them right to the dog park.
magnus kind of slams right into gemini's legs and there's a laugh as they crouch to pet him IMMEDIATELY. maus is probably going to bolt as fast as his teeny little legs can carry him because LUP CAME BACK!!!]
[MAUS YELLS lup immediately drops down to grab maus and cuddle the shit out of him.
as always, the poodle is also here, looking away. magnus ignores this to try and lick gemini's face and fingers. he's a dog, he doesn't care about veils. ]
H-hey! Control y-yourself! [they are like half-laughing and sputtering as magnus is busy not giving a shit about the veil. but gemini turns their head and offers a hand for the poodle. sniff? pets?
maus is busy wiggling his entire body both in lup and gemini's presence, actually.]
[maus is getting spoiled. she's burying her face in his fur and hugging him.
magnus snuffles and sets his big dumb head on gemini's knee. the poodle, on the other hand, looks away dismissively. and then like... moves a little closer. you may pet. he GUESSES.]
I'm glad. I didn't really want to leave them behind, the first time.
magnus's head is on gemini's knee so he gets pets, but the poodle scoots closer and they stretch enough to pet him.]
There wasn't really time to take them? Everything happened rather quickly. [they turn to the poodle.] I am forever in your debt for granting me the opportunity to shower you in praise, Taako.
[i just realized they could make the connection because this is similar to how taako was in the realm.]
They're space dogs. I'm sure they found their own means of survival, otherwise they would have made their way back with everyone else. [the poodle huffs and gemini kind of huffs back, more amused than anything before scritching behind both the poodle and the pitbull's ears.
...they can afford a few, brief moments.]
...dunno if you remember this now, but we were on the same team in the Realm. We didn't talk a lot at first, but we started getting to know each other better when our team met and began working together. Coloring's the same, too. [and to taako-dog:] And it looks great on you.
[she smiles a little - warmly. watching them pet the dogs and relax, just for a couple of moments. let down the wall.]
Kind of. I remember it like it's... secondhand? I think Cloud mentioned it once, too. [the other memories feel very real and present, the ones she actually shared - some of the info she knew during those memories feels a little more distant.]
Swans. I think. [meanwhile, taako-dog preens. yes, of course it does.]
[these dogs are so good. maus has probably settled to happily just be :D in lup's arms.]
Makes sense. If you only got a few back...it was like that there, too. You would lose memories, and you could remember certain parts but not others. Taako was a Swan. You and Cloud were Wolves. And then you had the Rabbits, Tigers, Goats and Foxes.
People weren't supposed to share their teams right away. You and Taako told each other immediately anyway.
[she tilts her head.] Not bad-weird. I don't really mind? It's uh, it's actually fascinating as a concept. The idea of there being multiple mes and Taakos and things like that. It makes me wonder if traveling between worlds made our whole, uh, structure funky.
If you ever want to talk about the other me or that Taako, you can. I don't mind.
[...they eventually just plop down on the ground entirely so the dogs can overtake them.]
It's possible. I've heard of a few of you with various versions of yourself. It may be something to do with your universes, or it may just be the whims of these games. It's difficult to say.
[...but they...pause. and take a chance.]
...from my notes, you were in the Realm with several others. You were under C--Mister Strife's leadership, though the Leaders themselves did not remember themselves. They had sacrificed their memories to enter into one more cycle of play to try and save everyone in the Realm.
You were fairly social. You met several people. You...fell in love, a few times, and you did your best to be supportive of people who needed it. There were people with jobs like you. You found several of them, and you brought them together. You were a large part of why they became their own team.
[. . .]
You met a boy. A teenager who wanted to do everything he could to help and to save everyone, but needed to learn a lesson. The first act of kindness was bringing him a cinnamon roll even if he argued and wanted to share it. You became something of a confidant for him. You were the first person he told about how he no longer existed in his world, the sacrifice he'd made, and you were the first to tell him that maybe he needed to let people help him. He trusted you more than anyone.
...you had quite an influence on many people there. But I'm sure that's no surprise given your influence on the Station.
[the dogs do, in fact, overtake them. they all flop on top of gemini and yawn and swarm them.
lup, on the other hand, listens, still holding maus tightly. you were social, you fell in love, you supported people, they say. you brought them together.
and you met a boy, who you followed the same beats with, without even realizing it. she's quiet for a moment, and then she goes to sit down next to gemini, and takes their hand, holding it tightly.]
Your notes make me sound like a superhero. [she says, soft, warm.] I hope that boy knows he still needs to let people help him the best he can.

Do you want to go to the station with me? I want to introduce you to dogs. [...] I mean, I want to reunite you with dogs.
no subject
The dogs. Yes, I imagine they need, uh, adequate attention by now. We can go now if it suits you. And we can visit the rest of the station, too.
[LET THEM GO!!!]
no subject
Yeah, definitely. Let's go. Teleport us, I don't want to walk.
no subject
HELLO!? DOGS??? i hate this actually.]
Here we are.

first, lup yells:] MAUS!
[and a tiny pomeranian perks up from across the way.
second, a pitbull with a tuft of fur on either side of its face barrels into gemini's legs. hello, pet HIM.]

Sounds - sounds about right! The rules have never applied to us. [her ear flicks.] Wolves and swans. Funny combination.

Totally. But maybe that's why some wolves and some swans got along best. [. . .] Is it weird for you? Hearing about those things.
