[Network - Open] [Audio]

Date: [31st October]
Characters: [Sadie Moore and the Number I still haven't actually decided on even though its been months]

---

Sadie's tone of voice as it comes through the Network is unexpected unless anyone had managed to spend any significant amount of time with her and her brother. It is taunting in a way that only teenagers who have siblings can manage. Her words are probably confusing to the rest of the Network as well.

"You are a bad dog."

[After some of that conversation happens...]

So that's why that guy wouldn't give me his name. That's Chad, isn't it. The little white fluffy one. Right?

[It explains why he was acting like Lassie, coming straight for him. Also, he's really more wigged out than he sounds, but he's good at understating things.]

[Listening in on Sadie's theory was bewildering enough, without any video to confirm if she'd been pranking them by stealing some unhappy guy's dog. But this is too much.]

...No. The secretive petting zoo guy? Chad?

"Yes! That's the one!"

She quickly switches to video mode to show the pomeranian, producing a very odd effect between the barking and the translation into human speech through the Network.

"I...?"

Whatever Russell meant to say trails off in a questioning squeak, and he mutters, "oh my god," briefly to himself before ending his connection to the Network altogether for a bit.

I am not little. I am simply small.

[HUFF]

[scarsolderthanyou]

You realize little and small mean the same thing, right?

[Oh god he's talking to a dog.]

[Audio]

[channingchanningchanning]

People use the words in different ways.

[scarsolderthanyou]

All right. You're a small dog. Happy now?

[He can't believe he's even saying this.]

[channingchanningchanning]

[HUFF]

Well, you are using the correct word now.

[HUFF.]

[scarsolderthanyou]

Hey, it's good that we know this. I might not pick you up again now that I know you can think actual rude thoughts at me.

[channingchanningchanning]

[...he has no idea what to respond to that.

Aside from.]

You better not.

[scarsolderthanyou]

Next time I'll just tell you what to do like I would anyone else, since you can understand and will know I know best.

[Maybe he's being serious, maybe he's not. He imagines Chad won't really like that much, either way.]

[channingchanningchanning]

You better.

[He won't necessarily listen, is all.]
