Personal Log #15 - Fourth Wall

[spohkh]

[Spock can be found mostly hiding out in the Dome. he doesn't really trust the sudden influx of new visitors in Luceti, because it usually means bad news.

This is a catch-all post for Spock~ Approach the Vulcan at your own risk.]

Comments

I regret nothing

[scienceofcourse]

[Oh, he had been waiting for this day, yes. Hours of research, of preparations, of construction. He'd learned so much from his mistakes.

And now he was ready to conquer Luceti- beginning with the deadly nemesis who'd stopped him last time, the accursed Vulcan, Spock!

Weapons and devices clutched in his hand, Insano giggles to himself as he slowly hunts his green-blooded nemesis. This time, victory would be his, thanks to science!]

XD

[spohkh]

[Spock was quietly sitting at his terminal, completely unaware of his plotted doom.
Also, memory of last time? Definitely doesn't have it. Poor Insano, it's hard to come by a proper nemesis these days.]

[glassescorgi]

[Watch your step there, Spock! Else you'll trip over a bespectacled young pup who is currently snacking on a strip of jerky.]

[The aforementioned young pup, of course, looks up at the Vulcan, barking happily before returning to its delicious morsel.]

[scienceofcourse]

[Here! Yes, here, in the big sciency-looking building! Vulcans, he had learned, were a race of science! Surely the Vulcan would be found here! HIS VENGEANCE WAS NEARLY AT HAND!

He stifles another giggle as he slips inside, slowly checking one battledome terminal after another, searching, searching-

Yes! There! With the pointy ears! He slowly raises his SCIENCE LASER, biting the knuckle of his free hand to keep from cackling, but a muffled giggle still manages to slip out.]

XD

[spohkh]

[Spock looks down and regards the tiny dog with a quirked eyebrow. He's never seen this dog before...

...or has he?
Crouching down, the Vulcan lifts a hand to pet the dog.] Are you perhaps a being that was recently turned into a canine? I do not understand why a dog would be wearing glasses.

[spohkh]

[Spock heard the giggling person come in quite some time ago, and turned around to regard the slightly crazed being with a quirked eyebrow.]

I beg your pardon... do you require assistance?

:3

[glassescorgi]

[The dog tilts its head, then slips the glasses off its face and, somehow, straightens the eyewear out on the ground. Then, quite plainly, it sticks a paw through one of the eyeholes.]

[The glasses... don't actually have lenses!]

[Once the pup demonstrates that, it lowers its head to the ground and shuffles the spectacles back onto its muzzle, and nuzzles Spock's hand happily.]

[scienceofcourse]

"Oh no, Mr. Spock. I require you to die!"

[And cackling madly, he pulls the trigger. SCIENCE LASER GO.]

omg so cute~ XD

[spohkh]

[Spock had to remember that leaving your mouth open in public was bad manners.
This dog had fashion sense? Most curious. The Vulcan continues to pet the dog's head, scratching behind his ears. He looks for a collar... does he perhaps belong to anyone?]

[spohkh]

[Spock instincts tell him to duck just as the trigger is pulled. He waits under the table to see if anything happens.
This mad man obviously knows him... perhaps he's from his future? There is something oddly familiar about him. Maybe it was just Luceti playing tricks on his mind again.]

RAWR

[tailasoldastime]

[Do familiar chimeras count as bad news?

At least, familiar to Spock. Beast seems a little confused at the moment and is wandering close to the walls of the Battle Dome. He is definitely not in Kansas 18th century France anymore, and it's not like he went here often when he was in Luceti anyway.]

<3<3<3<3<3<3

[spohkh]

[Spock had got up to retrieve something when he saw a familiar figure through the window. Grabbing his coat, the Vulcan ventured outside, eyes wide as he saw an old friend.]

Beast! I was not aware you had returned. It is good to see you.

'tis the point of the pup! ...outside of dog shenanigans :3

[glassescorgi]

[The pup most likely learned from people on the street, considering the collar it wears has only one word: "Akane". Probably the pup's name!]

[Ooh, ear scratches! Pup likes the ear scratches; don't mind the little paw tapping happily on the ground. Who would leave such a clever pup on her own?]

X3

[spohkh]

[Spock reads the name...]

Akane. Do you want to come with me? It is quite cold outside for one so small to be wandering around. Do you mind if I pick you up? [He wonders how much of this the dog understands.]

[tailasoldastime]

[Beast will give a sudden jump at the call of his name and immediately step away from the building in utter embarrassment.]

I-I, I, uh, r-returned?

[spohkh]

[There's nothing unusual about the way Beast is asking, so Spock carries on as usual.]

Perhaps you have no memory of being away? No matter, are you injured? [Spock was super happy to see his friend again.... for a Vulcan.]

[glassescorgi]

[Akane seems to perk up a lot at the mention of being picked up, jumping up quite enthusiastically.]

[After settling down a bit, she puts a paw over Spock's hand, and barks eagerly. Come on, come on, adventure--!]

[tailasoldastime]

In-? N-no, I'm fine, Sp... Spock. [That name. Of course. He was in Luceti when he left.] Spock!

[Well this makes it different, this calls for a move closer.]

[spohkh]

[Spock bows his head, pleased that Beast remembered who he was.] Indeed, my friend.
[The Vulcan awkwardly pats Beast on the shoulder. That's what people did with their friends, right? Right.]

[spohkh]

[Well, that seems to settle the question of whether this dog was able to understand him. Spock marvels for a moment at how intelligent the dog is, then gently lifts the dog into his arms. He unwinds his scarf and puts it around the smaller creature so as to keep her warm.]

Let us see if you belong to anyone here, okay?
[As he walks, Spock continues to scratch her under the ears and around the neck. He's always wanted another pet... though he hasn't ever gotten around to getting one since his pet Sehlat, I-Chaya died long ago.]

[tailasoldastime]

[Oh, right, patting is a friend thing. Then he guesses he should... pat right back, then. Yes. Good friend skills, Beast.]

H-how, uh, are you? Er, everything. How is everything?

[spohkh]

I am well. [If Spock was more human, he might have chuckled at Beast's attempt to reciprocate that manly patting.]

There were many who mourned your disappearance. Belle left shortly after you did though, so it is my hope that you reunited in your own universe.

[tailasoldastime]

[He couldn't help but smile at the mention of Belle.] Yes... she is back, w-with me - I mean, a-at the castle. [A glance down.] It is better for her there than here.

They... people m... mourned, for me?

[spohkh]

It is fortunate that she is back home... and of course people missed your presence. Much like you had mourned Mister Obi-wan's disappearance.

[A lot of people missed Belle and Beast... ]

[tailasoldastime]

I... I was here for a long time... but I, never thought how my friends would miss me. [He slouches just a little more. He feels bad that so many got left behind.]
