I need you to take me to the vet.

[ Guess who fed a stray and ended adopting the puppy. As much as it annoys him to ask, he needs the assistance of an adult looking person to convince the vets to vaccinate the poor dog. ]

I AM a vet, why do you need one?

[n5]

You? Since when?

[ Oh, wait. ]

No that kind of vet!

[ouiking_ouija]

You know if you need shots or something we can just go down to the infirmary, right?
I mean, I'm sure all the doctors got blown up in the apocalypse, but, we fixed that.
You don't have to go to the animal-doctor, you don't even HAVE to go to a regular doctor.
We've got supplies.

[n5]

The vet is NOT for me. I don't need any shots!...I think.

Do you really think I'll be asking for a veterinarian if I were sick? I can take care of myself.

[ouiking_ouija]

I don't know! That's why I was making sure!
I mean, that's how it always goes in the movies, right? They don't have a doctor but they've got a vet?

If it's not for you, then why?

[n5]

You mean in zombie movies? Not exactly the same. And I think that's because vets are more used to their patients trying to bite them so they know how to avoid it.

[ If this what will take to convince Klaus...Five sends a picture of the puppy. ]

[numberthree]

Because?

[n5]

Because if I try to go there alone they will tell me to come back with someone who looks like an adult.

No matter what Klaus tells you, you are not a mongrel.
You are not a stray.
Unless...
UNLESS YOU HAVE...

Man do you have fleas?

[TELL HIM YOU HAVE A DOG]

[n5]

[ :| BEN WTF ]

I'm not going to dignify that with a response.

What do you think?

[the_horror]

[Too much sugar and caffeine.... it can't be helped]

thats maybe for the better
dont dignity me at all
but seriously
why do you need a vet?
did you get a thing??1!!?

[n5]

[ Truly both ways to feel extra alive. ]

If by 'get a thing' you are asking me if I am sick again, then no.

But if you are asking if I have an animal that needs a check up, then yes.

[ And he sends him another picture of the adorable puppy. ]

[the_horror]

[Two of the BEST ways to feel alive, yes]

Okay, no to the first one. I'd think you'd ask for a doctor before a vet.

second... oh my god it's too cute.
Where did you find it?
What's it's name?
how old is it?
Did you just get it today?
Girl or boy?
Can i get it a toy?

[n5]

[ That Five can agree with, especially about the coffee.

And foolish of Ben to assume Five would ever willingly go to a strange doctor.]

We don't need those, we have mom.

Yes, it is. A boy, I found him in the alley this morning when I was leaving the house, crying inside a crate. I think someone abandoned him. I got dog shampoo and food, so he's now clean and full, but he's too small even for a puppy. Might be 5 or 6 six weeks old but I'm not a dog expert, that's why I want to take him to a vet. I need someone who can pass as an adult for that.

You ask a lot of questions. [ Someone's excited, he can tell. ] If needs to be a soft toy if you want to get him anything. And it doesn't have a name just yet.

[ghostphone]

sry i cant help u out dude i havent got my license yet did u take in a stray is it a cat ive always thot u were a cat guy

[n5]

[ Five is still getting used to the fact that there's a time-displaced version of his brother close to his own age. It's both comforting and worrisome but he tries to focus on the former now. ]

Ah, figures. I'll think of something, I really need to have a vet looking a the lil guy.

No, it's a dog. I found him in the alley when I was leaving the house, alone inside a crate.

I like all sorts of pets, you know dad never let us have one.

[ghostphone]

Aww poor lil dude.
good thing u found him then

yeah i know
dad's a fuckin' dick like that he just sucks the fun out of everything

[n5]

I think it's 5 or 6 weeks old but he's very little. I already got him puppy food but that's why I want a vet to give him a look to make sure he doesn't need any extra vitamins.

[ Uhm... ]

You know that out father died, right...?

[ghostphone]

well hopefully some1 will take u to the vet soon [There's a slight pause between Five's last and Klaus' next texts. He's blinking and staring at Five's words like maybe he isn't reading them right. And then he's just... grinning. And lets out a laugh that is so disjointedly wrong for the words he's reading. But...] r u fuckin srs rn? wtf when does this happen?!

[n5]

There's a lot of people in the house, I'll find someone.

[ Uh oh...Five honestly thought that Klaus might have realized already that their father isn't around. ]

About a week ago? For us, I mean, for you it will happen in a decade or so. Have you seen know that black base by the bar? That was an Dad's urn before we scattered his ashes in the backyard.

[ What is this conversation even anymore. ]

...maybe we should find a better place to left it.

[bestfuneralever]

[What a weird request?!]

uhhh why?

[n5]

Because I need someone who looks like an adult so they pay attention.

I, uhm...found a puppy.

[bestfuneralever]

ohmygod. What kind of puppy?
Has someone already claimed to take you there?
I probably shouldn't drive.
I wanna see the baby.
Where are you?

[n5]

A golden labrador, I think? It's honey-brown...

[ Right because knowing the color help any with this. Five sends him a picture so Klaus has a better visual about the dog. ]

Everyone is asking questions but here I am, still in my room with the dog. And I can drive, I just need you to stand next to me when we go see the vet and pretend to be a functional adult for ten minutes. Think you can manage? then you can lay with the puppy to your heart content.

[bestfuneralever]

[Can you hear the squeal from across the house, Five?]

ohmygod. what losers
YES. I can do that.
ill be ready in like 10mins!!!

[He's just excited okay. Puppy!!! They never had a puppy, they weren't allowed, he wants to play with the puppy forever.]
