*Do you live in Sakana? Do you like dogs? Well let's hope you do, because when you walk outside the courtyard is full of dogs wearing party hats! You're practically tripping over them!!
Maybe someone just got tired of Sakana being full of cats? Maybe there is some secret evil plan for a dog take-over? Or maybe it's something to do with the 10-year-old girl who's stood in-between them and who has now thrown streamers over your head.*

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Vat in the name of all that is good and holy!?

::This is a woman in slacks and a brown sweater vest walking out of one of the apartments, drinking coffee.::

[sketchthefuture]

Hello lady that I don't think I've seen before!! Merry Christmas to you!

*Sorry, your coffee may have streamers in it now.*

[hexeninmadchen]

... Merry christmas but you shouldn't be having all these dogs running about.

::Waves her hands, spilling the coffee onto the lawn since it's now wasted.::

[sketchthefuture]

They're the ones who wanted to throw this party!
Though... *She looks around curiously* ... there were a lot less dogs at first. They just kinda kept turning up.

[hexeninmadchen]

... Are you suggesting the dogs invited their... friends?

::Eyes the dogs worriedly.::

[sketchthefuture]

*Tomoko nods*
They must have! I liked the idea of a Christmas party and told them we could have one here for everyone but I wasn't expecting them to invite so many of their friends.

*The dogs are pretty much tearing up the courtyard, which Tomoko didn't seem to notice until now considering she's cringing a little.*

Oh boy...

[hexeninmadchen]

Vell, I suppose we'll have to break up their little 'shindig'.

[sketchthefuture]

But how? Spirits usually listen to me when I know them well enough, but I don't think I can convince all of them to go somewhere else.

[hexeninmadchen]

Vith a big bone, of course.

[sketchthefuture]

...where are we going to get a big bone from?

[hexeninmadchen]

... A Skelesaurus?

[sketchthefuture]

And where would we find that?

[hexeninmadchen]

...

Good question.

... Do we have any leftover bones in the kitchen, then?

[remarkablerain]

*oh my god I did not expect this walking outside. STREAMERED.*

Wha-- What's with all of these dogs...!?

[sketchthefuture]

They wanted to throw a party!! Well, five of them did anyway, the rest just kinda showed up out of nowhere!

*And there are more coming into Sakana as we speak!*

[remarkablerain]

T-that's great, but-- are there more dogs showing up? Wait, how are dogs wanting to party?! *that's the question, Suguru.*

[sketchthefuture]

They told me they like parties, but I guess they invited their friends.
All... of their friends.

*They're pretty much tearing up the courtyard, which Tomoko grimaces at. She obviously was not expecting all of these dogs to show up.*

[remarkablerain]

Do... Do they intend to leave?

[sketchthefuture]

I-I don't know!!

*With that Tomoko turns to the dogs and tries to get their attention.*

Hey! I know I promised a party, but you're all wrecking the courtyard...!!

*The dogs are ignoring her and carry on with their little dog party, which includes digging holes in the lawn and pulling up plants!.*

Usually spirits listen to me if I know them, but there's just too many of them! I can't even tell which are the ones I did know!!

[remarkablerain]

*has an expression like "oh right they're spirits, right."*

Uh... You might need some help here, then...

[sketchthefuture]

Are you able to help me? I really don't want them to mess up Sakana any furthe--

*Aaand there's a smash. One of the dogs just accidentally knocked over a plant pot outside one of the apartments.*

[remarkablerain]

*fhishgh*

I-I can try, I guess! Hey! Hey, you... dogs! *goes to go after the dog that knocked the plant pot over.*

[sketchthefuture]

*The dog runs off, but only into the crowd of other dogs.*

I don't think they're going to listen.

[remarkablerain]

Hngnh. How do you handle a pack of dogs... I dunno if just two people can handle it like this...

[sketchthefuture]

Hmmmn, let's see.. what do dogs like...

*She thinks for a minute, then her face lights up as she runs into her apartment, eventually coming out with a football!*

Dogs like fetching balls right? Maybe if we threw this out of the gate, they'll all follow!
