Day 224 [Action] Semi-Open? Mostly for Sam Winchester and Buffy
Open

[Sam was glad to be back in the dome where he had more room to run and roam freely. Not only that but he had his bar back, his home and a comfort to many of the other residents of MarinaNova. For a while there he had been wondering if he were going to lose it a second time. Needless to say he was busy the first day back, double-checking for any damage, changes or things missing. It all seemed in order though, which was strange but... he wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Speaking of horses, Sam was going to excuse himself between rushes, letting Buffy, Sookie-- or anyone else working at Merlotte's for the day--know he'd be back later. He trusted his employee's to keep watch of the bar while he did something extremely important.

That important thing was happily stripping down in his office and running quickly out the back on four furry paws before anyone was the wiser. He was one happy puppy, missing the ability to shift and run all over the dome even if it were for only two days. This was a major part of him, his freedom and stress relief. He felt alive and strangely content to sprint through the sectors. In the mean time he'd check in, as per usual, to see that everyone returned okay.]

For Sam Winchester

[Sam was so happy to be back that he didn't think twice about shifting into a beautiful black Stallion and racing along to the beach to run across the sand. Feeling the shift take it's toll, warning him of his time limit through a physical drain, he soon went into the waves, disappearing only to come up as a man. He smoothed his damp hair back, breathing heavy and wading for a moment, enjoying a swim.]

For Buffy

[Depending on where or when she's around she may catch a damp collie ducking in through the back to slip into Sam's office, or she'll find a slightly damp or partially naked Sam. Choose wisely.]

((ooc: Basically I'm leaving this open for anyone working to speak to Sam before or after the shift, or anyone to spot a collie running around. Others may speak to him at the bar in the evening if you want!! I'm open for just about anything and if your character would have been at the beach for some reason and would like to see Sam shift too, please talk to me and we can work something out! One or two people is A-Okay I just don't want a ton of people finding out.))

	[She pats the pup on the head, then scratches behind his ears for good measure.] And smart, too. How did you know I needed a friend just now? [Though she doesn't look upset in any way, Kira's absence is a heavy weight that she's been dragging around for days.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Whining softly as if with sympathy he'll then tilt his head and lift the front of his body to try to lick her face. All the while trying to be mindful of her dress and to keep his paws off of it. After all, he is still Sam somewhere in all of this even if he plays the part of a friendly pup all too well.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Lacus giggles sweetly when the pup licks her face.] There's nothing I like more than kisses from a friend. What about you? Can I get you something? I have some leftover beef stew at home. I'm afraid I haven't quite got used to cooking for only myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He sits a little impatiently, tail wagging a little more as he barks a 'yes' to her offer of food. Couldn't hurt to spend time with a friend in need. So he'll watch her expectantly, waiting to follow her home.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I thought you might like that. [She offers another good petting before standing and starting off to her apartment.] It's this way.

[As they walk, she idly begins talking.] I shared this place with someone very important to me, but he's gone now. I haven't had anyone else in there since he left. It will be nice to have a guest.

Perhaps that's part of the reason I find myself spending the night places that I otherwise wouldn't.

	[It's interesting how often people just unload on him while he's in Dog form. Course, most of the time, if they knew who he was they wouldn't say half the things he was told. Still, he does his best to bend an ear, looking up at her and tilting his head curiously to indicate he was listening and interested.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[That's how people are with animals. They're trusting and innocent, they can't repeat what's said... but for Lacus, it's more that she doesn't confide in people so much because she doesn't want to worry them.]

I hope you don't mind if I pick someone else up along the way.

Pink! [Lacus calls out toward a tree that's along the way, and a pink, softball-sized haro comes bounding toward them.] Pink, this is a new friend. Go on and greet him.

[The haro bounces over to the puppy, its arms flapping.] Hello, hello! Friend!

[His ears perk as she calls for this thing called Pink, turning his attention towards the tree as it comes out into the open. He takes a few steps back, startled by the talking, flying ball. His fluffy tail is tucked slightly, not really scared but definitely unsure of the Haro.

He tilts his head at it, lowering himself slightly to sniff at the bouncy thing but then backing off another step and looking up at Lacus. It's as if he's saying to her 'what is that thing and why is it talking?']

[Rather used to animals being startled by Pink, Lacus stoops down to pat the puppy comfortingly.] It's all right. Pink is my friend from home.

[The haro stops bouncing in favor of rocking side to side on the ground.] Fight, fight! Good morning! [Pink doesn't always make a lot of sense.]

[Lacus smiles nevertheless, and gives the puppy a little kiss on top of his head.] Pink isn't dangerous. But he goes like to play tag -- you might call it "fetch." What do you think?

Tag, tag! Ready, set!

[He peers up at Lacus as she explains, ears perking slightly before flattening against his head as he looks at the rocking little pink thing. Taking a tentative step forward before the word 'fetch' is said.

To which he perks up quite a bit. Looking down once more at the thing he bows, putting his head between his paws and butt in the air to wag his tail and bark.

GO!]

	[Lacus makes a graceful motion with her arm and Pink takes off! Bounding at top speed - not anything near the top speed of a dog, but he compensates with hairpin turns.] Tag, tag! [Lacus watches them with a smile. It shouldn't be difficult for the pup to catch Pink by the armflap and tote him back when he's ready.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Collies are streamlined and agile and Sam is extremely familiar with this form. So the hairpin turns only trip him up the first few times before he's following along at break-neck speed and gaining with ease. Eventually he does snap up the little pink thing as it bounces off the ground, closing his jaws gently around it's round body. He didn't think to grab it by the arm flap... SORRY PINK.

He'll trot back happily and proudly to deposit the thing carefully at Lacus' feet.]

	[Pink stops flapping when he's caught and pinned between the pup's strong jaws, but his eyes flash as he keeps right on blabbing.] Trapped! Help, help! [Lacus stoops down to receive Pink and properly congratulate the puppy with a good scratch.] How very efficient! You're wonderful. It takes a lot of speed to catch Pink.

	[He sits, tail wagging furiously at the scratches and compliments. He barks, panting happily before standing to push his nose in her hands and lick her fingers and palm.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Kisses, is it? Lacus bends down to return the favor, lightly kissing the top of the pup's head.] Now I know you must be hungry. Come Pink, we'll give our guest something proper for dinner since he played with you so well. Food! Food with friends! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It's a wonder Sam hasn't put on a few pounds with all of these treats! When she kisses his head he'll try to lick her cheek before bouncing down to his paws and looking up at her to follow along.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
