I found him!

[LOOK! HE'S NOT YELLING THIS TIME!

...But apparently that has no positive impact on the amount of content that his contribution has.

It only makes him very smug.]

[The lack of yelling is greatly welcomed by Sadie.]

Who have you found, Chad?

[channingchanningchanning]

The man!

[IS HE THE BEST, OR IS HE?]

[dragoonrouge]

...Which man?

[channingchanningchanning]

The one who returned the things!

[dragoonrouge]

Oh! Are you following him right now?!

[dreamtamer]

Found who?

Audio

[channingchanningchanning]

THE MAN!

[He is better than everyone else here, clearly. Nobody else found him. Clearly, or they would have said.]

Re: Audio

[dreamtamer]

Am I supposed to know who that is?

Audio

[channingchanningchanning]

I don't know. You are new, after all.

[SO SMUG.]

[The only reason Walter isn't the first to respond to this is because he wants to see if Chad will clarify it to anyone else.

Fortunately, he does. Good job, Chad.]

That is impressive, Chad. Is that why this is just sound and not video, though?

In case he sees?

[Audio]

[channingchanningchanning]

[...wait.]

In case he sees what?

Re: [Audio]

[iamnotgod]

While if all he can see of you is a dog barking randomly, you'd be fine, if he knows of the Network, you could just be giving him reason to be suspicious.

And he could actually hear our conversations, as well, if he wanted to.

[Or if Chad just got too close.]

[Audio]

[channingchanningchanning]

...You think he has a Number?

[Wait wait wait what.]

[Audio]

[spaghettimonster]

Which caf-- I mean.

[He's so proud of Chad not yelling, and he really wants that to continue. And it won't if Russell tries too hard to tell him what to do... But Walter's onto something.]

Do you... see a sign, for the cafe? With its name on it? If you do... You could tell one or two of us that name, privately, so you can have... backup. In case he leaves a strange way.

[Or in case the mystery man is on the network, and decides a little dog-napping sounds like a fun idea.]

[Audio]

[channingchanningchanning]

It's called Costa!

[So that narrows it down to only four locations in Mossgate.]

[Audio]

[spaghettimonster]

Nnnn.

[Chad no, he didn't want to hear the answer, now everyone knows and he'll feel responsible if something happens.]

God, in for a penny... Uh, is it the one closest to where I... meet with you?

[You know. For walksies.]

[Audio]

[channingchanningchanning]

Yes!

It's the street with the five lampposts! [Because those are very relevant and everyone who has gone for walksies with him WILL know about them. Someone who hasn't gone down that street with a dog probably... won't.]

[fairfeste]

[uh????]

Found... who?

[channingchanningchanning]

THE MAN!!!!!!

[He's trying really hard not to yell, but it is HARD.]

[fairfeste]

There are a lot of men......

[channingchanningchanning]

[PAY ATTENTION, DUDE!]

The one that returned all the things!

[Audio]

[vernal_miss]

[Nel listens to others talking with Chad before she chimes in happily.]

Good boy, Chad! You’re being very helpful.

[He really does deserve a treat for locating the man responsible for the surge of returned items.]

[Audio]

[channingchanningchanning]

Thank you! I am the best!

[This is the correct way of answering, right?]

[Audio]

[vernal_miss]

[Close enough. That gets a bright, if brief, giggle from the girl.]

My teacher at school would say you did ‘Excellent Work’.

How did you manage to spot him at the cafe? Are you out with someone?

[Audio]

[channingchanningchanning]

I noticed a trail smelling like the scent I was looking for and followed the trail and then him!

[Yes, he's ignoring the question of if there's a human out with him. He's more intelligent than most other dogs now, he totally doesn't need a human any more.]
