+1 talking dog

[wannabeaboy]

[Like most people who wake up in this strange ol’ school, Scott spends his first few minutes looking for a way out.. and failing that, an explanation for how he got here! While he’s not finding any answers, his fretful search finally slows to a halt as he peruses the West Wing. He’s pacing up and down the hallway, peering into the classrooms with nervous excitement, like a kid window shopping in a toy store.]

Fully-stocked art classrooms..? A science lab? A band room AND an auditorium?! Oh, pinch me, I must be dreaming…!

[Snapping to his senses, he slaps himself in the face.] What am I saying!? These facilities may be tantalizingly tempting, but this isn’t my school! This isn’t my home! I gotta get back, pronto!

[He continues pacing, fretting to himself.]
Oh, poor Lenny... what’s he gonna do without me..? We were going to study tonight!

[Ryou sure is seeing a lot of strange things lately. Is that what he thinks it is? Is that a talking dog?! Don't mind him just kind of...staring as he tries to figure this out.

Maybe it has a microphone hidden on it or something? But it's walking on two legs...]

[wannabeaboy]

[You are correct, sir! He notices Ryou staring and walks over, waving cautiously.]

Oh! Pardon me, but.. I'm in need of some assistance? I'm- aheh, bit lost, you see...

[If there's anything weird about a talking dog, he sure doesn't act like it! Of course, he still thinks that his disguise is working.]

[onethirdthesoul]

[THIS DOG IS DEFINITELY TALKING TO HIM... First robot girls, and now talking dogs?!]

I...uh... Sure. I can help. [It's a good thing he's so polite that Ryou barely needs to think through his shock when speaking right now. He does sound a bit stunted as a result.] What do want to know?

[wannabeaboy]

Well, for starters.. Do you know where I am? I've determined that it's a school.. But aside from that, I have no idea how I got here, or where it is!

[onethirdthesoul]

[...talking dog...]

Un...we may be stuck in a school, but there's no classes and no teachers... We're also on an island, so there's no real way for us to get off.

But, um... [He sheepishly rubs the back of his head.] At least there's dorms on either side of the North Wing? So we don't have to sleep in the classrooms or anything...

[wannabeaboy]

[Talking dog indeed.]

Wh- No teachers?! Then it's not much of a school at all! It's just a fancy warehouse for supplies!

[Wait, why does that get under his skin first? He shakes the thought, he's getting WAY too distracted by such a nice campus going to waste.]

The island thing, though! That.. that's some bad news. At least there's a place to stay! And I'm not alone...

[Oh. Hello, sudden pang of homesickness.]

[onethirdthesoul]

[Aww, the puppy looks sad...

Ryou smiles to try and cheer him up a little, even if those words just make him sad at his own predicament.]

There's lots of other people here, so you're definitely not alone! And even though there's no classes, there's still plenty to do. So, I mean...we could be stuck somewhere much worse, right?

[wannabeaboy]

[Aw, hey, it works, kind of! He cheers up a little bit.]

Yeah... yeah! You're right! I can't let this get get the best of me... I should be treating this like an adventure!

[onethirdthesoul]

Exactly! It's just one big adventure.

[When he says it like that, he's almost starting to believe it.]

I'm Bakura Ryou, by the way. What's your name?

[wannabeaboy]

It's Scott! Scott Leadready II!

It's good to meet you, Bakura! It's nice to have a friend in such dire circumstances!

[onethirdthesoul]

Un! It's good to meet you too.

[He give a curt nod, committing the strange foreign name to memory as best he can. That last name's a bit of a mouthful, so he's glad he only needs to use the first.

...But now for his burning curiosity.] Scott-chan, can I ask you a question?
