Class - Puppy Training!

[waddles]

Characters: Rafiel and you!
Format: action or prose
This log is: open
Location: Exaclan Arena
Summary: Class is in session and it promises to be adorable.
Warnings: None! (Yet.)

[Today, students who meant to attend Rafiel's class (which up until this point has been purely textbook, video and oral based,) will probably be surprised to find the classroom door is closed with a note taped to it.



Should they choose to do so, when they get to the arena the area seems unusually... noisy. Especially since there's no battle going at the moment. Get closer to the center of the stadium and they'll find the arena's gates have been shut but are currently unlocked, presumably to allow students in. Beyond that, however, are... puppies. Everywhere. Yapping, tumbling all over each other or napping and being harassed by their siblings and fellow furry kinsmen. There's a shallow kiddie pool on the far end filled with water, presumably to keep them hydrated, and above that in the stands and surrounded by a plethora of napping dogs is Rafiel who seems to be singing quietly to keep the ones around him calm.

Beside him are various boxes which, at a first glance, seem to be filled with anything and everything you could ever need to take care of one of the furballs running around behind the gate. (The dog treats have been hidden in air-tight containers at the bottom.)

Welcome to the hands-on portion of puppy training.]


[ooc: This log is open to anyone from either Conquest or Fortitude, students and teachers alike. (Although, only Fortitudians will be able to keep their puppy companion. Conquesters looking to do the same will have to start attending his class.) If you you have a preferred puppy breed, feel free to bring it in. (Real or otherwise.) If not, pick one from the list! After which, go nuts. Mingle, threadjack, hold competitions, bicker about whose puppy is cuter and hold races. I'll pretend I know what I'm doing.]

[ John is not entirely sure what to expect when he pushes the door open - he can't hear the yapping and various adorable puppy noises heralding the fluffy chaos awaiting within.

But then he's in there and there are puppies and he doesn't even know where to start to cuddle and pet them all when there's a solid bump against the back of his legs and he turns to find this ball of fluff standing behind him happily grinning up at him. He grins back and crouches down to pet and scritch and cuddle.

OH MY GOD IT'S A PUPPY. ]

[Rafiel, finished his singing at this point, has joined the students in the center area and wanders about, glad to see everyone's smiling faces. Given what happened at the start of this round, he's glad he could at least provide a little reprieve from the difficulties of this island.

When he sees John happily making friends with one of the dogs, he stops and kneels down slightly, placing a gentle hand on John's shoulder to let him know he's there. He knows the boy is deaf and unable to talk easily, so he'll let his smile convey his feelings.]
