1. PEST CONTROL (random street encounters/OPEN)
The day is nicer than Ghoul expected. A little cloudy, but not as bitterly cold or ice-hazardous as he assumed London would be. Still, he's bundled up in at least a couple layers of clothes because, frankly, fuck anything below 60 degrees. He looks a little comical, plodding along the sidewalk in his ridiculous puffy coat, a scarf devouring half his face, and a small dog prancing around his heels.

Wait, what the fuck.

Ghoul's partway down the block before he realizes he has company. It's a tiny, ugly thing in a fucking sweater that yaps whenever he stops to look at it, and it won't go away. No matter what shooing and direction-changing techniques he uses against it, it's still right there, lunging after him with its yipping and bouncing gradually increasing in intensity. He normally doesn't have this not-listening issue with dogs, being a werewolf and all. He's like the king of dogs, okay, but this little bastard has balls of steel beneath that lavender argyle. And that just won't do.

He backtracks, confronting anyone who may be even be remotely responsible for the animal- people sitting outside cafes, lingering in a group somewhere, on a bench, waiting for a crosswalk signal. Everyone in the area will, eventually, have him storm up and ask, "Is this yours?" while pointing at the pastel abomination below.



2. THIS IS MINE NOW (coffee shop/OPEN)
Ghoul had specifically waited for evening to roll around before hitting up this little coffee place, hoping to avoid a rush. Fail on that count. From what he can gather, 5PM is a great time to huddle around in shops and wait for traffic to fuck off.

He sees the logic in it now, but that doesn't mean he appreciates it. Not when he's stuck in a small crowd of too-close bodies clumped around the pickup area and waiting for his order to be called. There are a few names shouted in rapid succession soon enough, including the fake one he'd given the cashier. In his haste to get out of there, he grabs a cup from the almost entirely identical line of them, then makes off with it without a second glance.

It's not his order after all, but whatever. He'll figure that out at some point.

"Rodents aren't usually that loud. Or willing to fight something way bigger than themselves."

Because that little dog looked like he was ready to fight Roddy to the death.

"Even if I have seen bigger rats than that."

A slight exaggeration, but it was a tiny dog.

"You're welcome," Sirius replies, as the guy with the dog heads off. He pauses, turning to head off in the direction he was originally heading before turning around with a sigh. Now he's kind of curious to see if he was right, and heads off after them.

It's certainly not because he's trying to be helpful.

"Well, that's not very nice," Sirius says, coming up behind him. He had intended on hanging back and watching, but he supposed he ought to stand up for the dog, again though it barely qualified in his mind. If he could just get rid of that sweater, maybe.

"You have to let him have some time to work it out."

Cooper's astute enough to avoid getting werewolf snot all over his face. He just sighs as his tea goes splattering to the ground. Of course that would happen. It's just his luck. "I'd ask you to buy me another, but I'm not sure you wouldn't sneeze all over that one too. Allergy pills, bucko. They work wonders."

He gingerly hands over Ghoul's drink, afraid of being caught up in another sneezing fit. He usually would be madder about the whole situation, but he's got more on his plate to think about right now then spilled drinks. He's got to focus on his campaign.

"Mm, your canine condition." Welcome to London, buddy. This is gonna happen a lot.

The dog is still staring, tail flicking excitedly whenever Eames pets the right spot, but all its attention is on Ghoul. Must want to be closer, right? Yeah, he'll just help with that. He scoops the dog up with one arm, other hand scratching lazily under its chin, and holds it approximately face-height so it can look at its new BFF here properly.

Party looks completely affronted by the threat. "I ain't gonna fight something that can't fight back. One good kick and he's done-for. "

Sure, he's aware that he's being difficult, but it's not like Ghoul seems to want him to be easy.

"Kinda like fightin' you." He grins.

Eames actually laughs. This is amazing, the guy really isn't a dog person at all, is he? What a poor affliction for a werewolf to have. The dog isn't at all sated, trying to catch the hand to lick it and craning its head for some real pets, and Eames watches this with his eyebrows raised. Simultaneously unimpressed and extremely amused.

Hilarious as it is, it doesn't solve the whole lost property issue, and Eames isn't about to carry a stranger's dog around all day.

"Can't say I care that much, but it doesn't seem especially satisfied." He lifts the thing with both hands to turn the dog and look it in the eyes, which supplies no answers but a little snap of its jaws and some lip licking. So at least it's happy. "Which way were you going when you noticed it?"

"Yeah," he said, smiling a little, "Although, you know, I've always been pretty okay with them, no matter how big they get."

"Hardly eavesdropping when all I caught was that last bit of conversation," Sirius replied. "One sided as it was."

It had taken him a little bit to catch up, and while his hearing was decent, he wasn't trying to necessarily listen in to any obscenities tossed in the dog's direction.

"But maybe it was a good thing, if you're not nice and I need to be a witness to potential animal cruelty."

Oliver winces as he bends down, more or less expecting for him to get his hand chewed off. The dog obviously likes this arrangement better though since no such thing happens. It's at least happier if not totally satisfied being held like that.

"Not recently."

He's not sure he has anything useful he can say, but he does feel a little bad at how he'd reacted initially. He's just a nice guy trying to get a lost dog back home.

"Where did you find him?"

Daryl had been watching the guy walk down the street, stopping people every so often to point to the dog and ask a question. He was leaning against a wall next to one of the sandwich shops munching on his lunch, dressed in his mechanic coveralls which were smeared with oil stains. His lanky hair falling in his face. He looked nothing like the dog in any way shape or form, pastels the furthest thing from him and ratty dogs as equally low on his list.

Mostly he was watching the guy because of the scent. Werewolves weren't common to Richmond just for casual strolls. Last one that had come around was the painter. He didn't exactly mind them, but he did get annoyed at how both of them seemed to be into ignoring his scent markers. It weren't polite.

When the kid got to him and asked about the dog, Daryl started at him, eyes rolling down and back up. From his face to the dog and back to his face.

"No."

Well. Maybe nice was putting it too strongly.

Not having a specific area to look isn't exactly helpful, but that might be a long shot anyway. Neither of them even know how long the dog's been missing for.

"You should take him to a vet," he offers. It's the best advice he has. "He might be microchipped."
