Dear journal, and all of you who also read these entries;

During one of my many walks through the city as a way to clear my mind and think of how to promote the spirit of revolution, I found myself facing what can only be described as a most adorable cuddly ball of flesh and fur. Taken in by its powerful eyes and fiery spirit, I have decided to bring Marie Antoinette with me: he is now the provisional second-in-command for New Moore's Joui forces, until I am once again reunited with Elizabeth.





Isn't that just adorable??

Omigosh.

How much to just rub my face on it?

[onstandby]

25$. In cash, please.

[subspaceflowers]

$25!? To pet a dog that you just found?

[unmasking]

The verdict is out on how the finding took place.

[subspaceflowers]

What if the dog belongs to someone?

[unmasking]

If someone puts out a "some crazy Japanese guy stole my dog" ad, I'll return him (APPARENTLY IT'S A HIM?) immediately.

[subspaceflowers]

Then why's it called "Marie Antoinette"?

[unmasking]

I thought it was called Elizabeth for a moment! Neither is appropriate!

[subspaceflowers]

Nah. Sounds like "Elizabeth" is someone he's looking for.

[unmasking]

Who's probably also a guy.

[subspaceflowers]

That's a problem?

[unmasking]

I'll just be glad he can't really nickname me.

[onstandby]

You're not just paying for the privilege of petting Marie Antoinette! You're also giving my dear roommate peace of mind!

[subspaceflowers]

And how does a $25 fee factor into that?

[onstandby]

He desperately wants me to get a job. This way, I could put him at ease by showing I am bringing in money, while also testing Marie Antoinette's abilities.

[subspaceflowers]

Or you could just get a job and train your new dog.

[onstandby]

I have been training her. We spent all morning working on quiet infiltration into targets' homes.

My skills, however, are mostly applicable to one general market.

[subspaceflowers]

Wait.

You're training your dog to break into homes?

[onstandby]

No. I'm training Marie Antoinette in all the necessary skills to replace me as the leader of the Joui if tragedy were to befall me. It is very delicate work!

[subspaceflowers]

A dog can't really lead anything.

[onstandby]

I see you are not familiar with the great leader, B*lto.

[subspaceflowers]

Wasn't that just a really stubborn sled dog?

[onstandby]

Stubborn to prove to the prejudiced town that in spite of his half-wolf origins, he too could lead the sled and help that sick little girl!

[subspaceflowers]

Do... you know the story of that dog? Like for real and not the movie?

[onstandby]

Are they not one and the same?
