Re: Pet Friendly:Applegate
"yeah," Buster said, a little surprised to hear Janus' new voice. he should have expected this... now he began to think about what the change could mean. Did saving his life mean changing him so much that he didn't like him anymore? he decided to keep calm and just keep talking. "How are you feeling?"
Re: Pet Friendly:Applegate
The sun rose!
it rose at an impossible speed, and then it set, and then rose again...light and darkness fought for domination, making the shadows dance their own life, while a strong wind howled through the trees as if wanting to break them, the leaves rustling with millions of angry voices.
Buster was still there, and Janus was just a horribly mauled shape, something that couldn't be alive.
And they were there.
Standing. An adult looking at the rabbit with diffidence, hatred.
A pup looking with plea.
And then, the dying creature talked. His eyes glowed with a cerulean light. "Now it's time you know his last secret. Our last secret. Don't worry, this conversation is happening at the speed of thought, it will be a question of instants for your friends."

Re: Pet Friendly:Applegate
Buster was a little confused at what was going on.
he let out a sigh. "I knew this couldn't be over yet. I'm listening."

Re: Pet Friendly:Applegate
"Janus did indeed die, that night. It was only a chance, the whim of fate that made me being there to testify his violent demise. But it was my decision that he should live, for he did fight with all his might to stay alive despite the punishment. In my opinion, such a brave creature couldn't just leave the mortal plane so soon.
"I merged with him, I had no other choice: it is a rule of my kin, if spirits of my rank want to involve themselves in the ways of the mortals, they must accept certain...limitations. And merging meant that Janus's body, spirit and I are one thing.
"The skull curse is real, you could say, but I am not bound to that object. I am bound to Janus as long as he lives.
"Alas, this merging allowed me to keep him alive while he healed, but I couldn't interfere with his free will. I couldn't help his soul splitting, although I did my best to mitigate his fury and redirect it to...more appropriate targets during these years.
"So, mortal Buster, forgive me for not being completely honest to you and your friends, but I had to make sure Janus was cured, that he had a second chance."
The two split souls started dissolving, like sand statues in the strong wind. The Hunter nodded, a bitter smile crossing his lips. The pup wagged. His tail broke into pieces, but he was happy again.
"Do not feel burdened with a choice," Hubert spoke through Janus, who now was whole and healthy again. "If you choose him, you'll have to start from the beginning. Janus is now what he was supposed to be from the beginning. If you leave him, with time he'll manage, as you mortal use to say."
A moment later, the wind was gone, and the night had returned.

Re: Pet Friendly:Applegate
start from the beginning, huh? He looked at Janus. he still looked like Janus, but he had no idea what the personality would be like. would he even still be an artist?
well, if he has to meet him again, he may as well start now. he repeated his question. "How are you feeling?"
(OOC: I'm actually unsure if new Janus is awake or not. I would actually think he'd have fallen asleep seeing as he was so sleep deprived)

Re: Pet Friendly:Applegate
The wolfdog looked really tired. At first, he just said, "Well, I feel...funny. I should be home, sleeping--" then his nose started quivering madly. He snapped awake. And he looked definitely scared!
"There is someone else here!" he looked around, like a scaredy rabbit himself. "B-Buster, who-who is there? W-what's happening?" he clung to the rabbit, seeking protection, which looked really funny, in a way, considering that the rabbit was the one who could need protection from Janus!

Re: Pet Friendly:Applegate
"well the first thing you need to do is get home and sleep. Your mom was worried when she found out you had managed to sleep walk out of the house," Buster said, coming up with reasonable explanation for why he was in the woods. "I'm glad Rena managed to sniff you out."valerio wrote:"Gage. Gage..." Janus smiled. "Yes! Gage! I made a painting for you!" He turned toward Buster. "And you!

Re: Pet Friendly:Applegate
Janus nodded and gladly let the rabbit support him. "Whoo, I feel like I had a sleeprun!" he smiled at Buster, with the cutest expression...although this time there *was* something 'hungrier' in it. "Say, you're really cute you know?"

"you're... not so bad yourself."

Re: Pet Friendly:Applegate
"R-really? I feel so weird, with these funny eyes... And, hehe, a bunny and a half-wolf. Speaking of *really* weird..." Janus yawned loudly. "Uh, feel so sleep--" in a moment, he collapsed against the bunny, snoring.

Re: Pet Friendly:Applegate
From a Dark green Van that just parked next to the road, three pairs of eyes were watching Rex, who was nervously staring at the forest. Those pairs of eyes belonged to three men, who were involved in crime. One of them was holding a folder and a cellphone. From the latter a technologically altered voice was speaking
["In the folder is all that you need to know about your target."] the voice said ["Mr. O'Connell, you have your orders. Carry. Them. Out!"] and closed the call.

"I don't much care fer t' secrecy, but he's payin' us a tidy sum," Mickey O'Connell said as he set the phone down. "and t' t'ink, all we gotta do is snatch up a dog. There's gotta be a catch." He set out the contents of the folder so he and his team could check for anything they need to be aware of before grabbing the target. Last thing he wanted was to be taken down by some kind of super dog or something.

Re: Pet Friendly:Applegate
Duke watched as the old monster who had attacked him disappeared and all that remained was the real Janus, he couldn't help but actually be happy for them a small smile showing. Though he had never met Janus before he didn't find it the exact right time to introduce himself but as he fell asleep and Buster asked for Help Duke wasted no time in wiping his eyes and walking over. Giving a nod and a smile Duke scooped up Janus, ignoring the tension in his leg.

Re: Pet Friendly:Applegate
The remaining human of that group was a stocky figure, one who, judging by the looks, was used to the hard work.
"Ready when you are, guys. The guy doesn't look like much of a challenge." he had brawled with rotties in clandestine fights, he knew how to submit a dog quickly and with the minimum amount of pain. He detested the idea of a kidnapping, but his stomach wouldn't be filled on a minimum wage... "We don't want him dead, right?"

But it was right then, that a single fist hit Rex, knocking him out. One swift move later, he was picked up as easily as if with a big stuffed toy!
"Man, just get ready with muzzle and cuffs! He'll be up and barking soon!" Fred whispered to his accomplice as the made their way back to the van

Mason said as he walked into the open. Here let me carry'm. No offense but i'm stronger.
"Aren't you the pet who called me weak? Besides it's fine, it's not as bad as it may look"
Duke stamped his injured leg on the ground a few times trying to demonstrate that he was ok
Duke stopped his own aggression and seeing as how this was more Buster's fight than any of theirs he did as was implied, a slight look of remorse andshame creeping on his maw due to his aggressve questioning just a second ago. He walked over to the approaching pet, being very careful with Janus he tried to pass him over to this new pet.RandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:"I'm thinking we may want someone more permanently tangible to carry him," Buster said to Miles.

Sorry, Duke. I meant that you just look weak compared to me. Mason said as he heaved the pet over his shoulder. I'm Mason by the way. He said holding out the paw that wasn't on top of the pet.
Also what's this guy's name, again? Sorry but i can't remember. He asked Buster.

Re: Pet Friendly:Applegate
As Duke let Mason take Janus, his remark only made him angrier(if thats a word) he grit his teeth, letting a slightly audiable growl leave his maw. Duke shook Mason's paw but put a tight grip and slightly edged his claws into his paw not trying to break skin but mess with him. Though when Miles asked about another pet, Rex, Duke immediately thought back
"Would you like some help?"
