NoOoOoOoOoO!!
[ The thought of their friends being dead, even alternate versions, is incredibly upsetting to them. ]
They're s-such nice dogs! I hope you get to meet them one day...
Sparky..? Brownie?
โฆ Oh..! I-I donโt think Brownieโs doing so well, um.. and neither is Sparky, last I checked..
Hopefully theyโre at peace.
(Seeing their bodies wasnโt..)
W-Wow, Ginger does sports? That's so cool!!
[ Their voice seems to trail off as they process the full extent of his words, looking a little less enthusiastic now. ]
Does that mean your Sparky and Brownie are...?
Coco kind of.. looks like you, but sheโs really nice too!
And Angel is cool, he has all sorts of knowledge about magic, a-and heโs really good at using it, Iโve been wanting to ask him a little more about it..!
(Knowing from experienceโฆ)
[ Olive, however, has much less restraint, and takes the opportunity to hop around happily. ]
Yippee!! Now I'm friends with two Patchies, this is the b-best day ever!
[+]
I-Iโd love to be furiends!
[He holds back the urge to hop in place in excitement, an actual friend in this place..! And theyโre a nice version of Olive, it seems!]
(H-How am I different from the Patches here..?)
You're... d-different from the Patchie that I know too, but m-maybe we could still be furiends?
I don't know about the Olive that you're used to, but I promise that I won't be mean to you!!
O-Oh! That makes a lot of sense, I guess..?
I met some people that had the faces of my friends, so I can try and move past the um.. c-confusion!
The Olive I know is.. a lot less nice, but you donโt seem like them!
[ They stare at him in confused silence for a few moments before it finally clicks, prompting them to laugh nervously. ]
O-Oh gosh, this is embarrassing... um, I d-don't think we actually know each other.
A few days- but.. Coco took your body a-and you got sent to..!
[Realizing that saying that might tick them off, Patches promptly goes quiet.]
(โฆ best friend? but I thought they hated me..??)
[ They blink rapidly, trying to wrap their head around just what exactly was going on. They didn't even know what he was talking about! ]
It's only been a f-few days! I didn't m-mean to make you think I was leaving you, you're my best friend!!
[Patches feels incredibly oddโฆ why is Olive being so.. nice? Itโs great, but.. odd for them..!]
O-Oh..! Well, Hi..! Havenโt seen you since.. you know..
(P-please donโt stab me..)
[ After collecting themselves, they reach into their overall pocket, rummaging around a moment before reaching out and gently placing a seed in Mittens' paw. ]
Here, I-I want you to plant this one! It's supposed to be the same color as your hair when it grows!
(@INFERIORTWINK continuing that one bluesky int here cuz im not logging back in there)
[ Olive watches with rapt attention as Mittens waters each flower, pumping their paws in the air triumphantly while their tail wags at light speed. ]
Whoopee!!
[+]
[Patches is wandering, unsure where he really isโฆ]
This place is so familiar, but it isnโt-.. I-I hope theyโre okay.. Maybe Iโll find them. M-Maybe.
