[He still can't believe this dog can talk. Why can't Fairy talk? She would have a lot to say, he thinks.]
I'm fine. I just can't find my father's sword... [It does feel a little like Fairy, though. He opens the door a bit more and sits down on the ground on his legs.] You're a good dog for checking.
[ all dogs should get talk, Missile agrees. and he's going to take the opportunity to squeeze through the door and sit on Jin Ling's lap. even if there's no room. ]
Oh no! That's terrible! Would you like me to check under the sofa? Whenever Miss Kamila can't find something, that's one of the first places we check!
[NO......... his weakness..... doggo. He loops his arms around Missile so the dog doesn't go tumbling off his lap. He also gives Missile some pets!]
No... forget it. It's not where we can find it, or I would have. I'm sure it's been taken, like my bell and my robes. I'll have to get it back. Did they take something from you, too?
[A BLACK HOLE. Hate that.] Sorry. [He'll put the bowl down on the ground instead.]
Yeah. He made me some steamed dumplings. He said I couldn't eat this, though, because it was for you. We tried to find you after we made it, but you were somewhere else, so it's been in the... fridge.
[Said like he doesn't know what the fuck a fridge is really.]
[He feels bad eating them in front of Missile without having any kind of treat to give the doggo. He'll have to, like, ask Ayabe for some kind of treat......since he just gives Fairy dried meat.]
You did, too. So you should eat something, or get some water. Ayabe can make you something.
... Yeah, I do. And I really miss Miss Kamila and Miss Lynne and our apartment. But there isn't anything I can do about it, so I do my best to just think about other things.
[ he'll sigh and lie down, head on his paws and side pressed against Jin Ling's leg ]
[Missile is still making a mess in the drawing room, but when Jin Ling tries to go inside for something, he slaps into some strange, invisible barrier and goes careening back with a yelp.
What the--
He runs back up to the doorway and tries to stick his arm through, only to bump into the same barrier. But he can see the dog inside?!]
[ from Missile's perspective, Jin Ling sure seems to be having being a mime! well, sort of - you can't be a mime if you talk. but he's really dedicated to the acting! ]
Huh? I walked in, silly. Why're you still out there? Aren't you going to come in?
w0, saturday
Missile can't even try the doorknob to discover the lock, but he can sit in front of the door. and after a minute or two, start scratching at it. ]

After a few moments, it opens a crack, uncertainly... but then when he realizes it's the cute dog, it opens more. He rubs his eyes with his arm.]
What are you doing? This isn't the kitchen, you know.

no subject
... Does that mean Miss Peach or one of her sisters has it? Maybe we could ask them for it back!
[ they seem nice, after all :) ]
Um, sort of. I lost my Tricks, and I got my body back! So it was more like a trade?
w0, post-trial
Sometime much after scrubbing, Jin Ling has a bowl in one arm while going through places navigating with his other.]
Spspspsp. [Missile isn’t Sissel.] Missile? Where is he...
no subject
Hello! I'm right here!!!
[ surprise, Jin Ling, there's a pom at your feet, wagging his tail happily. not that... you can see that ]
no subject
Are you hungry? Ayabe made some food--well, I helped. [He whisked eggs.] He said it was food for you. It's beef and eggs and... bread?
no subject
Ooph. Oh! Yes, I'm always hungry! I'm a "black hole"!
And all of that sounds delicious! Did you get some food for yourself, too? It's important to keep your strength up!
no subject
Yeah. He made me some steamed dumplings. He said I couldn't eat this, though, because it was for you. We tried to find you after we made it, but you were somewhere else, so it's been in the... fridge.
[Said like he doesn't know what the fuck a fridge is really.]

[ sharing is caring and all that! besides, he gets so many scraps it's not like he's ever starving at any point... ]
Ayabe is a really good cook, isn't he? And he knows so much about food!
no subject
[Shut up, he doesn't wanna compliment Ayabe who is a pain in his ass.]
If you're ever hungry, you can ask him, and he'll feed you something that doesn't hurt you.
no subject
What if I can't find Ayabe? Can I ask you?
w2, saturday, post trial
Jin Ling, are you hungry? You should eat something.
no subject
He's sitting by the edge with his knees up again, but loosens his arms to look at the chips when they're dropped. What a nice doggo.]
...Thanks. [It's a half-hearted, but he picks the bag up.] Do you want to share them?
no subject
[ haha, man wouldn't it be fucked up if Missile ate a chip and died from food poisoning ]
You should have them, though! We were all working really hard today...
no subject
You did, too. So you should eat something, or get some water. Ayabe can make you something.
no subject
[ even at his lowest, Missile wouldn't forget to eat ]
Um. Is everything okay?
no subject
[Except for, like, everything that has happened today, so he doesn’t sound entire sure when he says this.]
...Do you miss home?
no subject
[ he'll sigh and lie down, head on his paws and side pressed against Jin Ling's leg ]
Do you?
no subject
Yeah, even if Beau thinks Uncle is bad. [Well, both uncles are bad really.] I miss Fairy, too.
no subject
[ he doesn't... understand... ]
... I bet your Fairy misses you too. You're her friend and master, after all!
no subject
[He shakes his head.]
She doesn’t like him because he hits me sometimes when I don’t listen to him. But he’s just worried, I guess.
no subject
[ he is not qualified for this discussion ]
... I wouldn't really like it if I was hit every time I didn't listen... Isn't there a better way to learn? Like with treats?
no subject
Heh. You would think treats are nice. Fairy, too. That’s how we trained her. She would get pheasant meat.
[This doesn’t rectify the situation he explained, but he really doesn’t think he has any discourse for Uncle Jiang, or he’ll just get punished.]
We’ll get home. We’ll find a way. Like a transportation array.
no subject
... What's a transportation array? Is it like traveling through the telephone?
no subject
[ha ha]
It's a--like a talisman you use to transport yourself from one place to another. It takes a lot of spiritual energy to use.
no subject
[ technically... true.. ]
Oh, but we'd all have to be souls to do that... And not everyone can travel that way. I can't, only Diesel can.
w3, i did not forget about you
What the--
He runs back up to the doorway and tries to stick his arm through, only to bump into the same barrier. But he can see the dog inside?!]
...Missile?!
ouo
Hi, Jin Ling! I'm making art! Do you want to make some too?
no subject
Missile! Wha... I can't get inside?! How are you in there?
no subject
Huh? I walked in, silly. Why're you still out there? Aren't you going to come in?
