WELCOME!

"About the only thing I'm good at, though...is barking! There isn't really much else in life!" (Missile from Ghost Trick RP Account - Affilated with Citta Alveare.)

[moxieghostpup]

A supernatural meeting? (Closed - Jonas)

Now, during his time staying at this strange human city, Missile had gotten a little used to being able to talk with humans of all sorts, even if strangely, some of them had not been in mortal danger or seem to have ‘Ghost Cores’ like those who’d died and had their fate averted before. 

Yet, despite having no powers of his own despite the ability to talk with those humans - for the first time in a long time since he’d come here, he felt a chill run down his spine, reverberate through his entire being. He hadn’t felt like that since...he was standing next to a human with a Ghost Core. This Ghost Core felt different, though - instead of drawing his spirit closer, it felt like it was trying to repel him, keep him away, like..a kind of soul protection?

It was very strange, and even though he had to push really hard against it, he wanted to investigate this!! He was the good doggie of a Detective lady as well as Mistress Kamila, after all, so he wanted to help solve mysteries too! Though, it was very hard going, and he whined as he tried to walk further toward the thing ‘pushing’ him away.

(He didn’t know he was getting strange looks from other humans as he did this, his mind being as innocent as it was, though.)

Sooma’s stomach lets out an upset growl. It’s been at least two days since he’s last had a bite to eat. What a life. Just a little while ago he was cooking at one of the best culinary schools in Japan with the freshest of ingredients, and now he’s stooped down to…this. 

He turns a can covered in dust over and wipes it with his hands, caked in soot and dirt. Dog food…great. 

Sooma shouts in frustration and throws his hands up to his face. This is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. He sighs and stares at the can.

“I guess I’ve had…worse.” 

Sooma whispers to himself as he prys open the can with his butter knife.

“I mean, how bad could it possibly be…right?” 

Sooma picks up a few slimy, chunks of “mystery meat” and brings it up to nose.

Okay, so it’s pretty bad.

[moxieghostpup]

For some strange reason, the bustling human city has had a lot of scary earth-shaking going on lately - it worries him a lot, because it feels like something even scarier might happen next, but without his Ghost Tricks...there’s not much he can do other than be an optimistic support. Well, that’s okay!

 He’ll keep trying to help humans even if he can’t do much, and make his own path, but there’s one problem with those scary earth shakings. It’s scared a lot of humans away - the human who helped him out with food is gone and not able to help, and even the humans who would hand out food are less.

He’s really, really hungry - so Missile’s nose catches the scent of opened dog food easily. Oh! Maybe a human is feeding their doggy friend and wouldn’t mind sharing with him too? Following the smell from hunger, it looked like - a human was smelling the food from an opened dog tin?

What? Was the human hungry, too? <”If you’re that hungry, you can eat the food instead of me - but can you tell me where you found the tin so I can find some of my own?”>

He didn’t want to be greedy and steal food from a hungry human, though it may not understand his barks.

A strange smell (Closed - Mary)

[petxlsofjealousy]

“Wow! I’ve never talked to a dog before!” The painting smiled as she continued to pet the dog in front of her. The surprise was short lived. “Maybe it’s because I used to talk to other paintings and sculptures that I can understand you!” Was living in the gallery worth it?… Probably not

“I’m not the only one though? So that must not be it? Do you know why people can talk to you now?”

[moxieghostpup]

<”Wowie, so I’m the first doggie you’ve talked to? I feel so honoured!! I haven’t been able to talk to many humans before I came here, so this is a big super surprise for me too!”> A pause, then, from the excitable dog and his happy tail-wags at being patted, when the girl said she’d spoken to paintings and sculptures before.

<”Maybe the paintings had ghosties hiding in them and possessing them? I have a friend who can possess items and talk to people inside them like that, too!”> That’s...not something you should be innocently admitting to a human, they might think it odd. 

<”No, so far...lots of humans in this place can understand me. I dunno why, but...the reason humans can understand me in the first place is usually only if they’ve been in mortal danger, or had something bad happen to them. I sure hope that doesn’t mean lots of people in this city had bad stuff happen! I wanna help the nice humans, especially if they’re as nice as you!”>

Well, of course he would...a loyal, friendly dog WOULD say something like that.

[moxieghostpup]

Ghost-haired human?? (Closed - Kakashi Hatake)

This super-strange human city...a lot of unique and special things went from here to there in it, but to see a human with hair that looked like a Ghost Soul with how white it was: golly! That was something really special-looking. It kind of made him worry, though: had this human been in mortal danger or died before? That’d be bad, he no longer had Ghost Tricks to save humans with! He should go and check to make sure this human wasn’t hurt or something bad.

The white-haired human was super hard to track, though! His scent seemed to be there one minute, but completely gone the next? How was that possible? Sneaky human!! He wanted to catch him and be friends, and also hopefully make sure he hadn’t died before??

Barking confusedly, he tried to track the smell again. He’d catch the human! Yes indeedy! He would try to be their friend, too!!

[moxieghostpup]

Friend of Animals (Closed - Satori Komeiji)

[aterriblesouvenir]

— [ ♥ ] — Dogs have always had difficult minds to read. Not necessarily a bad trait to have, considering their refreshing friendliness, but it can take extra time concentrating specifically on their needs. Information quickly flows, and while much of it is repetition, none of it is to be ignored.

A joy they may be, but cacophonous they are as well.

The pup’s thoughts can be heard clear as day despite the distance kept between. So loud, the dog somehow manages to think above the crowd. A steady stream of quick and utterly joyous thoughts, pass through her mind and body; a private performance just for the two of them. Certainly, other citizens notice the animal running among them, but only Satori can learn why.

❝Wait up!❞ Any form of decorum is lost as the girl cuts a rather interesting figure. She steps down from the busy curb and immediately follows the dog. Usually well composed, with head held high and poised limbs, Satori looks more like a child than she has in quite a long time. A few members among the crowd protest and groan, including those who are already quite wary about her third eye. For the first time that day, their complaints are considered quite nugatory in her eyes.

❝Dog! Wait! Wait up! You mentioned ghostly powers…❞ She leans forwards, twisting the palms of her hands against her knees as she catches her breath. ❝I can talk to ghosts. Well, read their minds, really. Like what I’m doing with you. And, well, my job required that be near them constantly. Could it be me you’re thinking about?❞

[moxieghostpup]

Chasing down the surge of strange spiritual energy as he is, at first the little determined pup does not note the voice telling him to wait, in such a excitable rush to get to his friend - yet he eventually registers a pair of footsteps in hot pursuit of him, calling to him and speaking of mentioning ghostly powers: for that matter, now the strange spiritual energy seems to be behind him, not in front of him.

Oh, so...it probably was that voice that was the source of the energy, and not Sissel? He was so excited to see his friend again, but at the same time - a human to have this kind of energy was something he’d never ever sensed before. Only once, with the banana-hair Yomiel. Did this human have a piece of Temsik stuck in her? No, that was impossible!

<”I think it must be...but how can you talk to ghosts and me? I thought you were a pal of mine at first - and it’s super rare for humans to be able to talk to ghosts!! Golly. How...”>

Confused pup.

[missmiyako]

such fluff. very cute. w ow

[missmiyako]

Oh…! It was approaching her!

Miyako watched with a mix of curiosity and apprehension as the fluffy little creature waddled over to her, slowly bending her legs and squatting down some to better offer a hand to the dog. She was fairly certain that dogs established whether or not someone or something was a threat by sniffing it, but–

Ah. It’d barked. Was that a good thing? It wasn’t growling or snarling, and didn’t appear hostile… Ugh. She’d worked with and dispatched demons resembling canines before, but could she really treat them the same way?

… Hm. When in the presence of a lupine demon, it was imperative not to show fear or anxiety, as they could sense it with ease. That principle, at least, was likely the same…

[moxieghostpup]

Oh! Oh! The sparkly-smelling human might not understand him, because she didn’t seem super surprised as humans who could understand him did, but she DID offer a hand on lowering herself down. He paused to sniff the hand, before realizing. Oh! This was...

An offering of pats! He loved pats!! Any human who offered pats was a friend and he loved them a lot, and this human was no exception.

Tail wagging at what seemed high-speed, he moved closer so he - and also - his head - were underneath the hand. To the touch, Missile’s fur was long and wavy - very fluffy indeed. Again, the Pomeranian let out another bark, but it was a bit higher, in evident excitement and joy at getting a fabled pat from a person.

Be careful when you lower your hand, though. He’ll probably lick you.

<”Thank you for the pat offer, miss sparkly human!! I love you!!”>

Proof that dogs loved any human that gave them affection unconditionally, here, honestly.

[moxieghostpup]

Contemplative human (Closed - Olive Silverlock)

Now, normally - at this time of day in the human city - Missile would be headed back to the ‘secthor’ that he called home, to go and get some sleep - good doggies didn’t stay up too late, that was what Mistress Kamila had always taught him! However, as he’d been headed back, there was a long-furred human just quietly standing out of the way of everyone, staring into nothing.

Oh...was the human sad, or needed help? It could be that she was just enjoying some peace and quiet, yes...but normally when humans stood off all by themselves, they were thinking about sad things they could use a patient ear on. He hated seeing any human at all sad, or think of one potentially being upset.

Wagging his tail more softly than usual, he attempted to move close to the human standing by themselves. 

<”You’re standing all alone, miss human...do you need someone to cheer you up? It seems kinda lonely standing there all alone.”>

Okay, she might only hear concerned whining and not words, but he had to try!

[moxieghostpup]

Bark bark (Closed - Sybil Reisz)

Though the strange city of humans was very exciting - and he enjoyed meeting and befriending so many new people each day - the fact was, that he’d only begun to notice: there weren’t many other dogs like him here, were there? No, there were colorful horses - some even with wings, which was amazing, talking animals that stood on their hind legs like humans all the time - but he had yet to see a single other dog.

On one paw, he was very glad the other doggies didn’t have to worry about being taken away from their master or mistress! On the other, he wished he had another dog to talk to and maybe be friends with, too. Being friends with lots of different creatures - human or fellow dogs - was super important!!

The loud clanking of footsteps alerted him, though, and he blinked - wait. That had sounded like not two feet walking, but more? Oh! Maybe it was a dog friend! To play with! The loud clanking was kind of scary, though - it reminded him of that scary submarine. So he followed the noise cautiously, a little more carefully than usual. He didn’t want it to be a trap like that submarine had been after all!

Though, he wasn’t doing a very good job of keeping the following of the noise subtle, given he was outright trying to sneak and drawing more attention to himself because usually dogs didn’t ‘sneak’ anywhere.

[moxieghostpup]

Twin humans?! (Closed - Alpha and Beta)

[resolutiontime]

“…Was it just me or… did the dog just talk?” Alpha and Beta looked at each other confused. Sure they were used to monsters talking but dogs? 

“It’s a talking dog. That just makes it cuter.” She began to smile about it. “Poor little doggie. We are going to give you some nice food. Do you like chicken?” She asked the dog. Well Now they know it could talk. It would be easier to get the dog some food that it likes.

“Yea. We can’t have an adorable puppy like you starve. It would be quite a shame.” 

[moxieghostpup]

<”Whoa-- more humans that can understand me? What a surprise!! Golly, normally it’s rare for a single person back where I come from to understand me - and it seems like almost every human I’ve met here can understand me.”> Oh no, did this mean every single human here had died before or been in mortal peril at some point? He really hoped not, that would be sad! Thankfully, his mind was not given much time to dwell on such sad thoughts, his ears - and tail - pricking up at the mention of chicken.

<”Yes, yeess! Chicken is really tasty! Miss Lynne used to sneak me bits of chicken after dinner all the time - oh, but don’t tell anyone that!! She might get in trouble for giving me bits of her meal when she wasn’t supposed to, so you gotta promise you won’t tell, okaaay?”>

What a childish perspective - Lynne might not even be here, and yet the dog was determined to not get his other mistress into trouble.

<”Thank you, thank you! Golly, I wish I could do something nice for you two in return...but I don’t really have special powers other than being able to talk to specific humans. I can give you lots of licks, though! Will that be a nice thank you??”>

Well, to a dog, one supposed that would be an extremely important and meaningful way of saying ‘thank you’ to a human...

[moxieghostpup]

Excitable human + excitable pom = double excitement? (Closed - Yang Xiao Long)

With having obtained a good amount of food and now feeling full once more, Missile now wished to explore more of this fantastic human city: yes, he knew everyone being trapped here was sad, not something to be excited about. A lot of humans would be sad, too - but that gave him reason to go exploring and find them! He wanted to try and be there and be a loving friend to all the humans!! Even if it took forever!

So off he went, darting along at a swift pace - though evidently he’d been moving along a little too fast, as when he tripped over a misplaced pebble, he not only tripped - but began to roll. Cue confused barking and whining from missile as he rolled along like a particularly orange tumbleweed - accidentally bonking into the back of a human who...seemed to have also been running?

He was super dizzy from all that now, so he really couldn’t tell.

<”Whoaah, whoaah...I wanted to run around and befriend lotsa humans, but maybe running so fast was a bad idea....”>

He’s still very dizzy. Give him a moment.

[moxieghostpup]

A strange smell (Closed - Mary)

[petxlsofjealousy]

Aww what a cute dog that she bumped into. Mary couldn’t help crouch down and started to pet the dog that came to her. It seemed to be friendly after all.. Though she had not known why the dog came to her, it was certainly cute. “Nah. I wasn’t in a human cooking competition. I don’t even know how to cook.” 

It only took her a few seconds to realize that the voice that she heard might be the dog talking telepathically or something to her. “Eh? Was… that your voice Mister Doggy?” Was she speaking to a dog? This shouldn’t surprise her since she lived in a gallery and was practically a talking painting but it did.

[moxieghostpup]

Pats from a human? He loved pats! Yay! Thankfully, though the yellow furred human smelled like oil, she didn’t feel oily - that was good to know. If she’d been oily, how was he going to clean that from his fur without help? He knew that some human would have helped him eventually: but it was rude to just expect a human to clean him when they might have super important stuff to do.

<”Oh, okay, so you weren’t in a cooking competition. ...Oh my gosh! You heard what I said?! That’s really a surprise, even if lots of humans have been able to understand me lately - it’s not something I’m used to!”>

When the human asked if it was his voice, it confirmed she could understand him, and he nodded.

<”Yes, that’s my voice. As I said, it really is a surprise to know lots of humans can understand me here...”> 

Surprised pom.

[moxieghostpup]

Twin humans?! (Closed - Alpha and Beta)

[resolutiontime]

“Come on Alpha Let’s get something to eat!” Beta sighed as she started feeling hungry. “There should be a chicken place nearby if you want to eat something soon.” The boy replied, wanting to eat something as well. “Yes! Let’s hurry!”

“Oh Look there’s a dog there… Maybe he heard us talking about chicken.” Isn’t that usually cats? “Hey there dog. Wanna eat something?” The transcendent asked the dog. He wasn’t expecting an answer at all, since he was well… a dog.

“Um.. Alpha, Would the restaurant even allow pets into the place? I think that place disallows pets.” Alpha thought for a moment then… “We’ll just take some food out then.”

[moxieghostpup]

Oh, oh - it seemed he was very lucky when it came to finding humans in this situation! The humans were offering him to a treat of food, and he wagged his tail enthusiastically at this. <”Yes, please! I would really like to eat something too, because I was hungry and trying to find some nice lunch.”> He didn’t know whether they would understand him, so after that enthusiastic statement, he would step closer and do his best ‘good doggie’ pose - which was, sitting on his hind legs and raising his front paws in the air.

He didn’t know why the place might not allow him in, though? He was a good doggie and had good table mahanners like humans liked, honest! At least, that was what Mistress Kamila said.

He did appreciate the suggestion of taking food out to him, though.

[moxieghostpup]

Nostalgia (Closed - Phoenix Wright)

Phew - finding food out here in a big human place like this was hard. Even with his spectacular smelling ability, he hadn’t found anything edible - he’d seen some human burgers in a trashcan, but they looked all fuzzy and smelled awful. Okay, so maybe that idea wasn’t going to work. Alright, new plan! If the humans wouldn’t give him food, maybe they could tell him where food was, if they could understand him? It was worth a try!

Yes!! He wasn’t going to give up just because of one setback, he’d find someone to help him. Though, a lot of the humans who lived here seemed to ignore his barking. Gosh, maybe they didn’t have time? Though, a familar-looking blue suit made Missile halt his barks to one of the passersby (who would have not been able to talk to him anyway because they were an ‘NPC’ of the city).

That suit...it looked so much like the one that the assistant to Mister Cabanela wore! Oh, oh! It could be he’d found a friend of a friend! Tail wagging in unbridled energy, he attempted to dart over to the blue-suit human.

<”Excuse me, excuse me! Welcome!! Are you...that fancy-looking human who follows Mister Cabanela around??”>

The human might not understand him, but it was worth a try to ask! Maybe Cabanela’s friend (if this was him) might even help him find food, too?

[moxieghostpup]

Twin humans?! (Closed - Alpha and Beta)

Okay, now...this was even stranger than the strange oily-smelling nice human he’d met before. After that little adventure, he’d been planning to go off and try and find something to eat: not as many humans were as willing to give food anymore, so now he had to go find stuff: but instead of smelling food, another smell totally distracted him, and for good reason - there were two scents exactly the same!

How could that be so? He knew, every single object had it’s own smell, and no two were alike - even two human houses in the same place would always smell different, so he felt terribly confused to smell two smells the same. Food could wait a little bit. Right now, this totally mysterious mystery had to come first, because he was still a Detective’s dog! He would be a good puppy to Mistress Kamila and help her investigate things!!

Following this smell, the crowds were more crowded this time than when he’d tracked the strange oily smell. He had to be careful that his tail or himself didn’t get stepped on, golly! Though, when he reached the scent trail’s end...he blinked, very surprised by what he saw.

Those two humans...looked almost the same! Wowie!! Did someone put one of those funny copying shiny squares nearby? Curious, Missile approached, inquisitive to get to the bottom of this.

[moxieghostpup]

A strange smell (Closed - Mary)

Oh, oh, oh! What on earth was that weird smell? It smelled all oily and strange - he’d never smelt anything like this before. Okay, yes, it was true this strange place had lots of curious smells to explore: but this one was particularly mysterious. It didn’t even smell like it was real, almost: like a air of mystery and super secret stuff!

He really was curious as to what that smell was!! Maybe he might even make a new friend if he followed it? Putting his small nose to the ground, there were so many odd smells in the place it was hard to track - but focusing hard on one smell and keeping at it helped - the smell was becoming stronger the more he followed it.

Then, his nose booped a human’s show. Oopsie. Oh, wait...the smell was coming from the little human? Why would a human smell oily? Were they cooking something fancy or something? Tilting his furred head a moment in confusion, he spoke.

Though the human may only hear barking.

<“Were you in a big human cooking competition or something? If so, you’re soo lucky! I bet you got to try all types of yummy sausages and stuff!!”>

Such an excitable dog.

[moxieghostpup]

Super Detective? I was a Ghost Detective assistant once!! ( Closed - Izumi Kyouka)

[detectiveaxxassin-deactivated20]

Staying against the wall, staring down to the floor. Kyouka was finding herself getting hungry and a bit bored. Of course she could just go and steal some food but that would be kind of bad.

Feeling like someone was watching her, she looked around just to see that when she look down there was a dog, a little dog. This little buddy seemed to be hungry and won’t go away which it made her kind of nervous and a bit scared. Dogs aren’t exactly the animals she likes since she’s pretty scare of them. This one is just little but still she can’t help it but to get nervous.

Izumi tried to look away from it but the doggy kept looking at her all happily and she went back to stare at it with a worrying look on her face.

“Um…I don’t have anything for you..sorry”

[moxieghostpup]

Oh, oh - was the human flinching away? Like he did when Mistress Kamila blew up those round balls? They looked pretty and bounced all floaty and stuff, but they ended up scaring him when they vanished with big bangy noises!! So, did that human flinch away because he sounded like a round floaty ball? It was so hard, because he wanted to be friends, but he backed away a little.

Though his barks and tail-wagging was still enthusiastic. Oh, oh - another thing had come up, then! The human had no food, oh noo. He cocked his head in thought - he was hungry, but the human must be super hungry too, if they had nooo food at all. Barking softly, he whined and rolled around to try and get the human to follow him. He’d use his super sniffer to try and find yummy treats for both of them!!

That way neither of them would be hungry, yay!

[kindergartenstar]

.:[ ★ ☆ ]:. This poor little pooch was running around wild, and while Amethyst would be more than happy to join in, there seemed to be something bothering them, judging by the way they kept yapping and running their paws up a tree.

“Hey, dog! What’s up?” She looked up at the tree that the little guy was pawing, trying to tell if there was something caught in its branches. Nothing weird about asking an animal, either, for someone who turned into them pretty often.

[moxieghostpup]

Oh no! No no nooo! This wasn’t fair? The big human tree had gone and grabbed his important piece of paper the white fancy humans gave him with where he lived written on it - okay, so what really had happened had been that the wind blew it into the tree, but still! It wasn’t fair!

Yes, he couldn’t read the human language on the piece of paper, but he didn’t want to lose it! No matter how he asked the tree to hand his piece of paper down, it didn’t do it, and no matter hjow he tried - he couldn’t climb. Someone asked him what was the matter, distracting him.

Oh! This human smelled like rocks! Rocky purple human friend! 

<”The mean big tree took my important piece of paper! I can’t get it down at aaall! Maybe you could help? You look better at climbing than me!”>

Okay, so she might not understand him, but he’d been polite and tried to explain his answer well!
