LOCKED (Rory stay out)

[swerval_zero]

(ooc: Why, yes, this is vampire puppy related, why do you ask?)

Hey, guys, Rory's birthday is coming up, and she told me she really wants a puppy. Specifically, a vampire puppy, but I'm working on that.

Anyway, I thought since, y'know, puppies and puppy stuff can get expensive, we could pass the hat or somethin' and make it a group gift. Is anybody interested?

*facepalm*

What kind are you thinking of getting, before you make it an undead puppy?

*digs into wallet*

[swerval_zero]

Well, I talked to a guy about a Basset, but Angelus suggested a Papillon. Not sure. What do you think?

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

*looks at pix of Basset*

Oh, god, you can't vamp that face! That face is too pathetic to be vamped!

Go with the Papillon.

*sighs* $50. I'll put in more if you can't get any other donors.

Does it have to be vamped by Angelus? You can't get someone else to do it?

It's just so incestuous....

[swerval_zero]

Oh, no, Angelus talked to Logan an' since Logan doesn' want him to, Angelus isn' doin' it. That's why I was in SC this afternoon--I'm lookin' to see if maybe there's a spell we can use.

Thanks, Parker! You're a pal!

...did I really just say that?

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Say what? I didn't hear anything. Must be a trick of acoustics. Yeah.

Let me know how the... spell works out.

*is so weirded out*.

[swerval_zero]

Thank you.

That's if I can even find one and find someone to do it--I'm not exactly magical, y'know.

(ooc: Zero's attitude toward FH is, "Okay, it's all real. Deal. Moving on.)

I like the Papillon. Plus, its name means "Butterfly," and that makes it even cuter.

[swerval_zero]

Plus, it's not very big, so it can't do much damage.

[chasingangela]

So ... vampire puppies are safe, right? We don't want to give Rory anything that will, like, kill her or Anya.

[swerval_zero]

That's part of why I'm lookin' in SC. Hopefully, I can find a way to make sure it won't be squallin' vicious, y'know?

[chasingangela]

That's a great idea.

If it's not going to kill anyone, I'm completely on board. Just let me know what to do.

Also, what do they eat?

[swerval_zero]

I'm not giving my friend a dog that's gonna kill someone, that's for sure.

My plan on that front is two-parted.

First, I find out where Angelus gets his supply.

Second, if that's gross, I go bat my eyes at whoever's workin' the counter at that shop in town. The NPC Butcher's Shop, I think it's called?

[chasingangela]

I don't want to think about where Angelus grocery shops.

But it probably is just the butcher's shop. And I bet blood for a vampire puppy won't be the weirdest thing Mr. NPC sells this week...

[swerval_zero]

Probably not, knowin' this town. So, are you in?

[chasingangela]

I'm in, as long as you can find a spell or someone to do it to guarantee it won't be an evil vampire puppy.

Are we going with the Papillon for sure?

[swerval_zero]

Not necessarily, though I have to get the dog here by next Thursday at the latest to make sure we'll have time for everythin'. Do you have any ideas?

[chasingangela]

Once we know *how* we're doing this? I think the first thing we need to do is figure out where we can buy one and how we're going to go out and get it. And also whether the breeder or dealer or whatever is going to care that we're technically killing it.

I don't have a car -- is there one we can borrow?

[swerval_zero]

Parker's got a Porsche...

[chasingangela]

Awesome. I kind of thought that if any of us did, she would.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

*facepalm again*

If it piddles on the leather seats, you're both paying to get my car detailed.

[chasingangela]

We'll put it in a crate. And use lots and lots of towels?

... yeah, we'll set aside extra money for the detailing.

[swerval_zero]

It'll be in a crate of some description.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

*glares* Good to know!

I'm still glad Angela's socking money away for the detailing. At this rate? The puppy is going to cost more in extras than the original purchase.

And no vamping until we're sure it's not an evil puppy. Dear God, this dorm doesn't need Cujo as a mascot.

[swerval_zero]

Yeah, you're right.

*from inside Zero's room, something can be heard squawking, "Domo Arigato! Pieces of Eight! Swoo! Swoo!* We've got enough crazed animals already.
