"A dog's paw smells aromatic."

[jump-isforkids.livejournal.com]

[A man with curly white hair and bored-looking eyes, wearing a white kimono hanging off one shoulder and black high-collar shirt and black pants and boots, leaves the Lab with his new smartphone, fiddling with it and turning it on when all of the sudden--]

. . .

I can smell dog breath.

Why do I smell-- Oh, my head's inside of something's mouth. That would explain the lack of light, and also the teeth digging into my shoulders.

Wait... Why dog breath? Dogs aren't this big. Not even wolves are this big, or this heavy. Eh? What is this? This can't be a dog.

[After another pause, he screams bloody murder.

The connection cuts out.

...But later that same day, Gintoki can be seen running through the theme park, followed close behind by a gigantic 660 pound, 5 1/2 feet tall white fuzzy dog, tongue flying out its mouth and white tail swishing behind it like it's having the best time of its life.

The man is not.]

EXCUSE ME! EXCUSE ME, I'M CURRENTLY SEARCHING FOR THE OWNER OF A LARGE BEAST! CIRCUS RINGMASTER, I'VE FOUND YOUR GIANT DOG, COULD YOU COME PICK IT UP?! EXCUSE ME!!

[He tries hiding behind tents and booths but the thing always finds him, giving a cute little "BARK" whenever he catches up. Gintoki will likely run out of steam after a couple hours and just give up trying to escape, at which point he simply continues wandering the theme park, large dog following behind him like it's afraid to let him out of its sight.

The man seems to be trying out all the games and trying all the food as if searching for something. He stands in front of the rollercoasters and watches people riding them, but doesn't get on, himself.] . . .


[[ OOC NOTE:: dunno what I was thinking not saying something when I was first posting this haha-- JUST FYI, this big dog is basically a huge...dog in every way, and it has a hobby of eating peoples' heads and arms and things sometimes sort of. You are all its chew toys. The characters in Gintama are never permanently harmed due to it, but if your character is a meatier, stronger type, Sadaharu might play rougher because YOU CAN PUT UP WITH SOME BLOOD LOSS AND DEAL, RIGHT? RIGHT? So, small children and people who can't deal with extremely strong and rowdy pets might want to keep a short physical distance - that doesn't mean you shouldn't tag though~! Gintoki can keep him at bay for ya as long as you keep yer head on.]]

[Well, that was new. ...Lawfer isn't nearly as surprised to see a 5' dog as he ought to be, but he'll watch with some interest as Gintoki and his giant dog go racing past.]

...A thousand pardons. Far be it for me to interfere with your exercise routine, but I would be remiss if I did not suggest that the beast's owner is already known.

[jump-isforkids.livejournal.com]

[Skids to a halt and backtracks, panting and holding the dog back from playfully chomping on Gintoki's arm.]

Wh-- Do you know whose this is?! He's been following me around like a big smelly ghost-- I don't think I would eat dog meat, I'm sure I don't eat dog meat! I can't remember much, but I can say that for sure!!

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

'Nathan's Incredimazing Corn Dogs' are on the other side of the park.

But given his behavior, take into consideration that he may consider you his master.

[jump-isforkids.livejournal.com]

Don't screw with me, you don't look like the kind of person who thinks corn dogs are made of dog meat, oy.

And that's a load of bull, what kind of dog tries to eat its master?! I've got some kind of smell on me that makes me seem like today's supper. This is exactly what it feels like to be a mouse chased by a cat, it just chases and plays with its prey until it's tired out! [The dog then proceeds to release Gintoki for a moment to give another adorable ~BARK~!, sitting on its haunches and satisfied that Gintoki isn't running away for now, it seems.

Lawfer is right on the mark, naturally.]

Is that Sadaharu did he bring Sadaharu with him OH MY GOD

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

[Jr. stands by, watching the man and the huge dog while eating cotton candy.]

Hey.

it's his item he brought along with 8D where is Sadaharu going to sleep IDE 8DDD

[jump-isforkids.livejournal.com]

[Gintoki was in the middle of attempting to throw some corndogs past the giant dog to get distract it and make a bolt, but to no avail; it doesn't take its eyes off Gintoki.

Sulking......]

Yeah? Got a problem, kid? If you want the thing, it's yours. Just assemble a few bodybuilders to wrangle him and you're good to go.

...My god he is SO not going to fit into their room what are they gonna do XD XD XD

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

No thanks. Besides, looks like he's pretty attached to you.

MAYBE IN...THE STAIRWAY... /KEEPS...THINKING... 8DDD;;;;;;;;;;;

[jump-isforkids.livejournal.com]

[Scratching the back of his head] Tch... I'd have been happier if it were one of those smaller dogs that fetches the paper, and I end up with this thing. I have enough to deal with, trying to get a hold of my bearings and grasp the situation..

[manjuumagic.livejournal.com]

[Pointing from the sidelines.]

Look, look~

It's a parade! It's a two-man parade!

[jump-isforkids.livejournal.com]

[SCREAM be careful Mokona it is a dog it will eat you-- Gintoki would make him spit you up though-- BUT YEAH

Gintoki stops and looks around wildly, and then spots Mokona; he's got good eyes like that.] Eh?

It's a fairy! It's a talking fairy?!

[The giant dog hangs out beside him, chewing his kimono sleeve disgustingly.]

[manjuumagic.livejournal.com]

Mokona isn't a fairy! Probably~ Mokona is Mokona!

[jump-isforkids.livejournal.com]

Mokona? And you said 'probably', you just said 'probably', I heard it.

AUGH goddammit...if this thing isn't an illusion, then you must be real, too, huh? I might have to pretend I'm dreaming a little while longer, though, if you don't mind. [This is replied to with an -ARF!- from the giant dog.]

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

That one of the park mascots or something? He's following you around like you owe him money or something.

[jump-isforkids.livejournal.com]

Wish it was a park mascot, then I'd have some idea who to complain to. [And then all of the sudden, points at you.] Hey. You look like a dog-lover. You look like you've been waiting your whole life to find the right canine soul to be your constant companion throughout your daily grind. Whatdya say, $50? For you, I might even bring it down to $45.

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

Wha -- why the hell are you trying to pawn it off on ME?! Do you even own it to sell it?!

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

Giant dog, huh? Do you mean this one?

[Danny points behind him with one finger to the dog who is currently consuming him from the waist down.]

[1/2]

[jump-isforkids.livejournal.com]

[2/2]

[jump-isforkids.livejournal.com]

WHY ARE YOU EATING PEOPLE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR BRAIN, DOG. [Grabbing the wooden sword looped in his waist, Gintoki starts prying the giant dog's bite open with it.

He succeeds!] TCH..! [And yay for drool-covered wooden swords, awesome.

He turns back to Danny.] You all right, kid?

pretend he's in ghost form in this icon

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. I actually barely felt anything, come to think...of...

[Danny just looked back at his own legs and notices that they are so faint that they're almost invisible.]

AAAAAH!

[moesmar.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I don't know who his owner is... [a frown flickers across her face, but it doesn't last long because OMG DOGGIE *u*] Oh, but he's so cute!

[jump-isforkids.livejournal.com]

[Giant dog gives an adorable, but definitely LOUD, -ARF-! at this.]

Do you like him~?? He's yours, miss, free of charge~!! [Gintoki your high-pitched salesperson voice is horrifying stop it]

[moesmar.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, I couldn't possibly...! He looks like he's very attached to you, sir. Are you sure he isn't yours?

[garforswords.livejournal.com]

So did you need help, or have you decided to take care of the dog yourself?

[jump-isforkids.livejournal.com]

I'll take help if it's feedin' the bottomless pit. [Scratches shoulder ugh] Something tells me my pay is not going to cover all this..

Should be all right somehow, meh. Tired of worrying! Also just tired.

[garforswords.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think I'll help you take care of your pet. Just try not to get eaten.
