hm...

Did someone lose a puppy 🐶?

[ and then a drawing is going to appear of the puppy in question. ]

This is Yugi, by the way,
so if this little guy is yours LMK.
stillnewatthis: (hello!)

Oh, how cute! That looks so very much like my puppy back home.
stillnewatthis: (orisa)

It is unlikely, but perhaps it is not impossible.
stillnewatthis: (my purpose)

[personal profile] stillnewatthis 2019-05-09 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
This proposition is easy to test!
stillnewatthis: (orisa)

[personal profile] stillnewatthis 2019-05-09 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
In the dorm lounge, but I will gladly meet you somewhere. In front of the Great Hall?
stillnewatthis: (orisa)

-> Action?

[personal profile] stillnewatthis 2019-05-10 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Certainly!

[Wasting no time, Orisa leaves the bulletin board behind to head thataway at what amounts to a jog.]
stillnewatthis: (pooch)

[personal profile] stillnewatthis 2019-05-13 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[As the puppy rushes over, Orisa picks him up with care. He immediately begins licking her face, heedless of her metallic exterior. She bursts into happy laughter, no less warm for the faint artificial vibrations in it.]

This IS him!
stillnewatthis: (green means go)

[personal profile] stillnewatthis 2019-05-13 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I had not named him yet. A name is very important. I was conducting analysis to determine the proper one.

[Orisa shifted, lowering her body to the ground as she tucked her arm across her chest to cradle the puppy.]

I did not have him for very long before I came here.
stillnewatthis: (hello!)

[personal profile] stillnewatthis 2019-05-14 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I must update my choices.

[Which is a fairly quick process, and includes further data since she has come here. Her eyeshields narrow, rotate, then pop open again.]

I shall name him 'Reinhardt'!
stillnewatthis: (victory)

[personal profile] stillnewatthis 2019-05-15 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Reinhardt barks happily at Yugi, tail furiously wagging.]

It is the name of a great Overwatch hero. I have devoted much of my processing power to analyzing his combat performance. As I have begun the pattern of naming the animals associated with me after people I admire from Earth, I will continue it with my puppy!
stillnewatthis: (hello!)

[personal profile] stillnewatthis 2019-05-16 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Reinhardt was a former Crusader who joined the Overwatch organization, a global peacekeeping force originally intended to put an end to the Omnic Crisis. He wielded a barrier shield, and I studied his techniques in order to improve my combat algorithms for my barrier projector, but more importantly, he was a hero with great heart and a drive to do good. Those are traits I wish to emulate.

[As she speaks, Orisa reaches behind her back, and from a spot tucked away beneath the Drum, produces a squat toad.]

This is my familiar, Lucitoad.
stillnewatthis: (hello!)

[personal profile] stillnewatthis 2019-05-17 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
He is named after a famous singer whose music I like very much! It is perhaps a bit silly, but it makes me happy.
stillnewatthis: (stop!)

[personal profile] stillnewatthis 2019-05-18 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
That may be overstating my relationship with a musician! I thought mostly because he sounds so eager to sing that the name would fit.
stillnewatthis: (focus)

[personal profile] stillnewatthis 2019-05-18 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
You must have a special familiar, then? [Like Ballet, the Land Whale!]
stillnewatthis: (hello!)

[personal profile] stillnewatthis 2019-05-20 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
How remarkable! That is strange indeed. He must be a very valuable partner and companion to you.

[Lucitoad and the puppy, meanwhile, are having something of a staring contest, as each works to reconcile the appearance of a strange-looking rival on the scene.]
stillnewatthis: (determined)

[personal profile] stillnewatthis 2019-05-21 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I am very glad to see him too. How strange that he showed up where you are! [Doesn't that imply the connection between person and home is relatively weak?]
