Kind of a strange ask

[xp_legion]

I don't normally post this sort of thing, but Soft Serve just came by the Community Center asking for help spreading the word that her dog is lost. Apparently he got away from her dog-walker in District X Wednesday morning and they still haven't been able to find him. Being a local business owner, she wants it known that anyone who finds her dog gets free ice cream for the remainder of the summer.

I'll attach the photo and a link to her Instagram. The dog's a shih tzu/poodle mix named Rocks.

This travesty will not stand! We must rescue the Ice Cream! I meant the Puppy!

Poor lost delicious soft serve ice cream...dammit voice to text, I mean Puppy Puppy, we need to save that puppy!

Hope, you need to do your ghost thing and find it! I want...to save the puppy. Totally save the poor lost puppy

[xp_trance]

I am all for saving the puppy, oh wise one, I just wonder about one thing...

...How is my astral form more effective then just simply searching for him on foot...

You can go through buildings and we have to go around them.

it's all about efficiency! The sooner we find hte puppy the soon we get Ice0cream....and he's reunited with his poor worried owner.

For the puppy!

For the puppy huh? Are you sure do you do not mean to say 'for the ice cream'?

I think if you want to be all efficient, you should ask Kyle. But I will be there in about fifteen minutes.

What? You're perfect for this. No stairs, gates, or landlords could stop you. Meanwhile, you get to hang out in a comfy chair.

Unless dogs can see your ghost-y self. Can they? Do we know? Seems like we would know.

What if we're off dairy

I'm going to be honest: considering how Soft Serve creates her product, I'm not sure it counts.

[xp_velocidad]

I just wanted to see what you'd say

[xp_legion]

Right.

I have no idea what you might be talking about.

How convenient for you

I know what you’re all thinking: “Arthur, buddy, isn't a dog hunt exactly why we have X-Factor Investigations?”

Absolutely. Easiest question ever.

Lost dog? High emotional stakes. Local business owner in distress. Ice cream-based economy at risk. Rocks might not be mutant, but he’s family. If we can get through everything that's gone on with horse enthusiasts and floods lately, we can definitely bring one questionably labeled poodle mix home.

Somehow the way you said that makes me think you're sitting by the front door with a box of fedoras to distribute.

[xp_longshot]

Well I sure wasn't.

But now? I absolutely am.

Oh no, not Rocks! He’s definitely a handful. I can see how he might’ve escaped his new walker. I’ll keep an eye out.

He may most likely be roaming near the park. Enjoys barking at the squirrels.
