should be replaying ace attorney but guess what I'm not doing

[sixfoottalldog]

Aren't you supposed to be catching up on someone else's canon instead of repeatedly going back through mine?

[He props a hand at his hip.

what are you my mom]

I just don't want that rat buddy of yours getting angry with us. And, besides, the loud little pointy lawyer guy deserves some time in the spotlight too. It's been a little while since you've aired him out, right? He's starting to smell.

Comments

[weirdsasha]

It's better than puns.

[He sounds philosophical.]

Also, on an observational note--haha--he rebuts that, quote, "it is a seven hour drive to your mun's place and gas is almost more expensive than sheep semen these days."

[sixfoottalldog]

Eugh. That's true.

I wasn't aware that there was even a market for that sort of thing. Is that something he stays on top of, or...

Oh, I'm gonna regret saying that. I kind of do already.

[weirdsasha]

There's quite a market, actually.

Prices are pretty consistent, so it's more the price of gas he has to keep an eye on.

Why, are you interested?

[sixfoottalldog]

No, but I guess now if I ever do need something like that, I'll know who to talk to.

[weirdsasha]

[Sasha's jaw opens a little, forming an approximation of a smile, and his eyes are laughing.]

I guess you do.

[sixfoottalldog]

If you don't mind me asking, how'd you end up with that hole in your head?

[weirdsasha]

It came with the dog face, actually. It's pretty convenient, really, since I wouldn't be able to talk without it, but some days it can be a little temperamental.

[sixfoottalldog]

Temperamental?

[weirdsasha]

Smoke, ants, this black sticky stuff I've never really identified but the doctors tell me it can cause cancer if you eat it.... you know. That kinda thing.

[sixfoottalldog]

Whoa... neat! I guess it's a good thing Max isn't here. I'm pretty sure he'd probably eat whatever came out of there, if anything does right now, anyway.

That, or try to stick his fingers in there, which just seems kind of rude.

[weirdsasha]

'If you wouldn't do it to someone's nostrils, you shouldn't do it to anything else.' That's what my mother always used to say.

.......

... I've never had anyone tell me that kind of thing is neat before.

[sixfoottalldog]

Yeah, but you've never seen the places Max sticks his grubby little paws. I'm pretty sure he'd shove his whole head up someone's nostril if it wasn't the size of a watermelon.

Really? Well, it is kind of neat, don't you think? Not everybody has a hole in their face that sound and some other weird stuff comes out of. I mean, besides their mouths, I guess.

[weirdsasha]

... I never thought of it that way. And I've been witness to a lot of weird things coming out of people's mouths.

[Cue another dog smile.]

I'd be careful he not fall in, though.

[sixfoottalldog]

That big head of his would probably get stuck. I've seen it stuck in a lot more dangerous places before, honestly. I'm starting to think the little rascal's skeleton is made out of rubber.

Or maybe he just doesn't have one. Then again, he seems a little pointy for an invertebrate.

[weirdsasha]

I'd say crabs are pretty pointy...

[sixfoottalldog]

True. But I'm pretty sure Max isn't a crab. He's kinda soft and fluffy for something with an exoskeleton.

[weirdsasha]

... he's pointy and soft and fluffy?

[sixfoottalldog]

You're gonna have to meet him sometime. I think you'd understand if you did.

Oh, by the way, the name's Sam. I'm a Freelance Police officer.

[weirdsasha]

Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm Sasha Lee. I'm a symphony violinist.
