IV | VIDEO

[ a deep rumble of a snarl opens this recording a second before the video begins — in the very center of an elegant room lined with bookshelves, there's a large dog pacing in a tight ring. Fire blazes around its paws, flickering against the glowing lines of an intricate magic circle inscribed on the floor beneath it. Outside the circle, a dozen or so black cats surround the dog.

Whenever the dog comes too close to the edges of the circle, a sudden light flares up in warning, and the dog backs off. Still, the cats tense, baring their teeth, their claws scraping against the floor. A few bold ones even make as if to lunge at the dog, but they stay where they are. Their green eyes reflect the flames, shining with malice and hatred. But the dog pays no attention to them whatsoever. It snaps its jaws, fangs closing on empty air blurred by heat, and growls again, glaring at something off-screen.

As if following its gaze, the camera swivels in that direction and stops on Bernkastel. The witch sits still in one of the chairs, like she isn't bothered at all by the dog's presence. At this point, her cats show more expression than she does.

When she speaks, however, it's obvious that she's just managing to keep her voice calm. ]


Handing out cute animals only to have them warp into monsters... if this is the community's idea of an early Halloween trick, it's —

[ the dog interrupts with great booming barks, accompanied by yowls from Bernkastel's cats. Bernkastel closes her eyes until the din stops. ]

... Boring beyond belief.

So, since I'd rather not have all these books turn into ashes in case that thing escapes, does anyone want to take it away? I'm sure there's a person here who wouldn't mind bringing it to a special gathering for their enemies or something like that.
second_star: (P-p-poker face.)

[ ...Well. Just from what he's seen around the community, he could tell what was going on around here. ]

...You didn't make it mad, did you? [ Most of the other animals seemed sweet. Endearing. ]

Maybe it's some kinda reflection of your personality or something. We've had a pet virus like that...
second_star: (You know it.)

That's not exactly how you take care of a dog, Bern. Jeez, don't witches know these things. [ He sighed. ]

If this is a virus, it's stuck with you. You gotta calm it down if you don't want that place crashing in on you.
tenminutes: (This is the hand I'm going to use.)

[ Yeah Yuri's sitting here with a rottweiler sleeping calmly on her bed in the background, the little golden butterfly she got from Battler resting on top of its head. She's about to start a petting zoo if she gets any more pets in here. ]

I value my life, there's no way I'm taking that thing. [ Bada-ching. ]

What did you do to it anyway?
denies: (she says i need not to need)

Maybe it's karma.

[ Said in the most dry tone ever, but practically right as she says it some super loud yapping (obviously a tiny dog's) starts from somewhere offscreen.. talked too soon, huh. ]

They're not the boring pet, you're the boring owner!
omnomsgods: (I can't breathe anymore)

[personal profile] omnomsgods 2012-10-21 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well what about all those cats?
omnomsgods: (Vacuum catastrophe)

[personal profile] omnomsgods 2012-10-21 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I know. My best friend is a cat!
second_star: (No big deal.)

[ He watched her approach the monster, which seemed to be stuck in the magic circle. To say it was mad would be an understatement, it was practically burning with rage. who knows what it'd take to calm it down.

But, it was a dog, after all.

Try giving it a treat. [ Mr. Helpful Lowell. ]

It disagrees.
second_star: (Stop complaining and eat it.)

More like, to make it feel better. Or you could pet it and apologize, Bern.

That's pretty normal. Looks like you got it under control, anyway.
