So one of my followers revealed themself a Zionist after all the posts I shared about supporting Palestine

If you are supporting Israel after every fucking thing that has happened, get the fuck out of my face. You are supporting the genocide of a people. I do not want you following me. Fuck off.

Kalmar is standing, arms crossed, directing one of his trade mark glares down at them. He does not actually like dogs much, however effective this one is proving to be.

“You’re lucky you’re getting that much,” He announces. “I’m quite certain I did more than half of the work.”

He stares at Bark. They stare at him. He groans.

“And what are you going to get with another two dollars, hm?” Frankly – given Bark’s some sort of talking stray, a fact which he seems to have accepted with minimal alarm – he can only imagine what they plan on spending any of it on.

[barkharland]

They are having a stare off. Bark with their big hazel-chocolatish eyes stares deep into Kalmar's soul.

I helped a lot! I moved the door and the shelves, don'tcha remember? They tilt their head for added sweetness.

Gaze flicks momentarily over his shoulder, at a little girl with a hot-dog. Their stomach growls in a want, no, in a need and their heart tugs. Bark would spend two more dollars to buy a bunch of hot dogs for the kids back at The Thieving Children's Den, for your information.

Bark stretches forward, lays down. PLEEEEASE, a howl, PLEEEEAAAASEEEE, another howl.

[barkharland]

charlie is confusing the hell out of bark. they are currently a dog and they could shift back actually, because their 'can't shift back for 54 hours' period has just passed, but choose not to.

they throw their head back and howl. howl and howl at @uncxntrxllable's charlie.

[wastewaifs]

"shiiiit. you a furry?"

[barkharland]

"what? nooooooooo-" they whine like a child. "a dog! i'm a dog, not a furry. i'm a dog and a girl, but not a girl. you understand?"

[barkharland]

they approach @vitalphenomena's spirit, because she reeks of lucas. and because, by the description, it should be spirit, someone bark has heard from lucas.

"heyyyyy! is your name spirit 'cause you talk to ghosts?"

[barkharland]

bark's always sniffing. even when they are not actively tracking something, they unconsciously sniff the air at all times.

now they smell fries and oil and meat and ketchup and so many other things, but most importantly, they smell @vitalphenomena's lila.

bark approaches her with a brand new deodorant. "take it, dude. i've got like another 20 on me."

[barkharland]

making icons now, rest of the starters will come later today!

xeno is pretty sure he is dreaming. or dead. or very very very high.

"oh my god." (it echoes in his brain, an endless loop of oh my god, only broken up by a voice—one that doesn't belong to him or his ghosts—in his mind.) "holy fuck. a dog. a talking dog."

this is the best thing he has ever hallucinated in his life.

xeno, abruptly, hugs bark. if he had a tail, it would also be wagging uncontrollably. he is still not convinced this is real, but it doesn't matter. "oh my god. are you my imaginary best friend? can we be imaginary best friends? i love you already. you're perfect."

[barkharland]

bark barks in happiness. woof woof woof.

xeno is not dead! he is very alive, breathing and colder than they are used to in humans (they don't know he isn't a regular human and they wouldn't like to assume, but the smell that's surrounding him blocks the scent that could give him away).

i'm a dog! but not just a dog, man-dude. i'm also a girl, but not just a girl! ya dig?

as his arms wrap around their dog shoulders, their tail resembles a helicopter blades, so excited, wagging. they stumble a little under his weight, because they had not expected a hug. xeno is, otherwise, very light.

I AM NOT IMAGINARY, DUDE! I'M HERE AND SO ARE YOU! WE ARE BEST FRIENDS AND I LOVE YOU TOO! and they howl.

@k4ndall says: "That actually sounds delicious."

And it is probably taunting and sarcastic, which based on the topic wouldn't be frowned up. Or maybe he's being genuine. Who knows, who knows! (Bark does not).

Either way, Bark interprets mostly everything in a positive way. Including his words that work as a fuel, ignites the fire, prompts Bark to go on, ramble away:

"It is sooo fuckin' delicious! It's like a party where your parents let you combine the most vile food combinations and eat it. But it's not a party, we do that every day. Just throwing hot-dog with pasta together topped with crushed candies. It really is delicious!"

[barkharland]

to differentiate if bark is in their dog form or human form regarding speech, i will use the usual quotation marks ( " " ) in human form, whereas in dog form there will be no quotation marks and the text will be italized to imitate inner thoughts, bc they are literally putting their mind into your muse's and talking there.
