[ he

immediately holds the treat out again. ]

Bark.

[sengokus]

[he's just touching the ground]

How have you not gotten beaten up yet, your personality is so bad.

[dotcom]

I'd make anyone regret touching me.

[ he gives the treat to the chihuahua instead, but then look back to mineo. ]

I'm still waiting...?

[sengokus]

I already said you should at least try to give me something I want.

[the bulldog comes back to nudge at takeru's legs this time. tiny little tank.]

[dotcom]

[ the dog automatically gets a tweat. ]

What do you even want? A walk?

[ please stop treating mineo like an actual pet ]

[sengokus]

I'm not a dog!!

[HE JUST SAYS IT AGAIN]

How are you so bad with people?!

[dotcom]

[ he pats mineo on the head. it was not obvious at first but the longer this goes on the more clear it is that takeru is so drunk right now. ]

There, there, stupid.

[sengokus]

[oh my fucking god hE'S SO

TORN RIGHT NOW? IT'S OBVIOUS WHEN HE LEANS INTO THE TOUCH AUTOMATICALLY BUT THEN PULLS BACK WHEN HE REALIZES

BUT THEN LOOKS LIKE HE WANTS TO ACCEPT THE PATS ANYWAY]

Stop!! How the hell did they get you to drink so much?!

[dotcom]

The point was to indulge.

[ so sometimes you have to step a little outside of your comfort zone for it.

he laughs, clearly amused. ]

Did you like that?

[sengokus]

I-I'm not answering that question.

[he does not have to when he's so obvious]

Ah jeeze, does that mean Sheila-san's tipsy again... [HE TRIES TO THINK ABOUT THAT GROUP DRUNK AND IT SURE DOES SEEM LIKE A TIME]

[dotcom]

She's a handful while sober.

[ he pats mineo again. ]

[sengokus]

[he's not paying attention because he's thinking about sheila drinking so he leans into it easily

give him a second]

Kind of, yeah. But weirdly still one of the more normal here for the most part?

[dotcom]

I guess so. She's really just the picture of a white suburban mom.

[ it's funny?

so is the petting. ]

[sengokus]

Right? She showed me her house in the simulation room - she has a backyard! Totally normal though.

[a beat]

Wait—

[HE FLUSTERS AGAIN AND TRIES TO DODGE THE PETS]

Stop....!! You're just being mean!

[dotcom]

Haha, you really are just like a dog.

[ there's a pause, and he frowns briefly for a second.

but he shakes his head, and then gets back up onto his feet. ]

Come with me.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . what is he being tricked into.

he frowns for a bit before he follows after.... just mumbling...]

Stupid seaweed might trip and eat shit....

[the only reason he's following!!]

[dotcom]

Stop saying crap.

[ but he will give a few doggos some pats as he passes by them, and then just walk right out of the room. ]

[sengokus]

I didn't say anything!

[he did

mineo will also pat all the puppers on the way out and look forlornly back at the room... he wanted to stay longer....

but then he'll go to follow takeru!]

[dotcom]

[ no it was getting too weird to do that where all the dogs could see. keep your petplay out of the chihuahua's line of sight.

but they're barely out of the room when he turns around to face mineo. ]

You still haven't barked. I gave you a treat.

[sengokus]

[STOP IT WAS TAKERU'S PETPLAY

also mineo thinks 'oh my god' for the 2308423049th time this evening]

Shut up!! That barely counted! It was so lazy, and you were doing it just to make fun of me anyway!

[THAT'S NOT A TREAT]

[dotcom]

It was a treat for me.

[ it was funny.

he's also admitting that he was just making fun of mineo. ]

[sengokus]

[well at least he knew that but the despair REALLY HITS THIS WEEK

so that means he actually looks hurt for a second before he just frowns and looks away]

Asshole.

[dotcom]

[ i hate this, because takeru is just going to be a dick. i can't even 100% blame this on the effect he's generally a dick. ]

What? Did I hurt your feelings?

[sengokus]

No....?!

[kind of

but admittedly there's a slightly confused note in mineo's voice. he normally can take takeru's asshole antics just fine?]

[dotcom]

[ he tilts his head. ]

No? You don't sound too sure about that, idiot.
