So uh.

Today I found five puppies and a gun on my doorstep? And I'm pretty sure these are Leon's, but they don't seem to like him anymore. I don't know what's up with that, but it's like they thought he wasn't their owner. It was way different when I saw him with them before.

Anyway, the place mom and I live in isn't really big enough for all these dogs. They're bloodhounds, I think? Except the little black one. Mom says she can stay, but I need to find homes for the rest of these guys...

Anybody think they've got room for a dog?

[ ooc: Leon didn't name his dogs so Deuce is calling them Benedict, Florentine, Quiche, and Omelette. Rename if desired or enjoy his very particular theme.

Edit: goofed on game mechanics, Leon's around but a normie npc so the dogs treat him like a stranger. ]

[Mike doesn't at all want a dog, but...]

I have room for a gun.
Your mom probably doesn't want it in the house.

[pursuit]

Yeah, I don't think she'd like it very much if she knew.

Do you have a permit?

[ It seems like the thing to ask... ]

[curriculumachine]

No. Does it matter?

[Is it even a legal gun? Are the serial numbers and identifying information even from this universe?]

[pursuit]

You need a permit to legally have one, right? I'd give it back to Leon, but his memory seems a little...off?

I'm not sure he remembers misplacing the thing, and I don't want some misunderstanding.

[ Especially not with how his middle school days were. ]

[curriculumachine]

So, you're keeping it then.

[He wanted to take possession of the gun, not have a conversation about it.]

[pursuit]

I guess, until I figure this out.

It's strange, I don't think he even remembers that weird app thing.

[ Going to have to cut him off at the pass because he will totally talk about it. ]

[curriculumachine]

[He doesn't give a fuck what Leon does or doesn't remember; he'd never even met the guy. No replies are forthcoming.]

[infolds]

do you think the dog would get along with a fat cat

[pursuit]

They're pretty young, so maybe...?

I think dogs and cats can learn to get along, anyway. Like those videos people post online where they're buddies and all.

[infolds]

I know they can but like if those dogs were trained for police stuff its hard for them to be like... actual pet dogs

[pursuit]

I'm pretty sure he adopted them last week or something. Can you do much training in a week?

[infolds]

probably.....???

idk his work ethic or much about the dogs but my family would probably like it so ill take one

[pursuit]

Okay, would you rather take a boy or a girl? I know the shelter fixed them and gave them their shots and stuff, since Leon mentioned it.

[tsunotarou]

I could ask my grandmother if we can take a dog.

[After a moment, a second text comes.]

Could I come over to pet them?

[pursuit]

Course you can. Maybe you'll like one, and you can tell your grandma about 'em.

[tsunotarou]

She said "maybe" she wants to see them first.

And I'm on my way.

[pursuit]

Guess you'll need to take some pictures then.

See you soon!

[tsunotarou]

If they stay still enough, I could.

[He gets to the Spade household pretty quickly, the magic of taxis.

He stands in front of the door, not knowing if he should knock or ring the doorbell, so he takes out his phone instead.]

I'm here.

[pursuit]

That was quick, I'll be rightvthere.

[ Time to get up from the puppy pile, straighten his clothes, and hurry to the door. Those same puppies crowd around his legs as he opens that door to let Malleus in. ]

Come in- [ He pauses, shooing puppies aside. ] They're uh...pretty friendly.

[ehero]

why were there five dogs and a gun on your doorstep

[pursuit]

I'm not really sure. I tried asking Leon if he forgot anything, but he didn't exactly seem to remember.

How do I give a cop a gun he doesn't remember dropping without... You know... Getting in trouble?

[ehero]

cant you say that you just found it
or like
leave it at the police station?

[pursuit]

I didn't have a great reputation when I was younger.

If somebody spots me, they might assume something.

[ehero]

o
then how about you give it to me?
ill drop it off for you

[pursuit]

But what if that gets you into trouble?
