[Puppies~! Right's just going to let these puppies climb all over him as he attempts to pet as many as he can.]

((White husky puppies, because they're pretty close to the puppy he encounters in canon.))

Well, this is awkward. He bent down to look at just one, only to get swarmed by the horde and knocked flat on his back; now there's a mass of white fluff wiggling all over him, determined to lick any bit of skin they can get their tongues on. Given Jerry's conservative outfit, most of that is on his face, neck, and head.

"Now, stop that -- that's quite enough --" He shuts up quickly as one puppy goes to lick near his mouth; he doesn't want to French a puppy. His efforts to push the puppies off of him with his hands aren't really working; help a poor man out?

((The usual: OTA for gen, open to assumed CR (let me know if you want to go down that route), cross-canon, cross-medium, tags from strangers, all that jazz.))

Yotsuba didn't really know how or why she suddenly appeared in a room full of puppies and a Busness Man (who Yotsuba thought either worked for the guvernment or a super fancy company, though these were assumptions based only upon the fact that this man was wearing a suit), and while she would eventually ask those questions and how she could get home, none of that really mattered to her right now.

Her number one priority right now was the super cute and white puppies-it looked like they were made out of snow-and the Busness Man, and from the sound of things, he needed some help! He was drowning in puppies! So, she ran over to the sea of puppies and tried to carefully push her way forward, picking up puppies and putting them aside as she went, trying to get the snow puppies off the Busness Man.

"Step back! Give him some air! You're suff..suff..you're drowning him!"

Of course, since she was a newcomer and someone the puppies hadn't licked and jumped on, some of the puppies quickly began to try and jump on her, and some licked her legs and hands as she tried to pull puppies off of the Busness Man's face. Not that she minded. Even as she tried to chide them, she couldn't help but smile and laugh at the attention.

"That tickles! Stop! Calm down, Snow Puppies, or you'll melt like ice cream!" And then she'd turn her attention back to the Busness Man, still trying to help him out of his predicament.

"Are you okay, Busness Man? Oh! Are you a good Busness Man?"

With the girl pitching in, Jerry is able to push away the puppies with more success, enough that he can sit up. After wiping his face with his sleeves, he gently pushes the puppies down whenever they try to jump up and lick his face some more, even as he looks up to address the girl.

"Thank you, young lady." At the title of 'business man', though, he just tilts his head. "Just call me Jerry."

As Yotsuba replied, she kept pushing off and laughing at some of the puppies that were trying to jump on her or lick her, so while she did try to sound coherent, she couldn't help but laugh a little at their attention. However, she did offer Jerry a hand up, even though..since she was a child and not actually strong enough to pull up an adult, it was a rather useless gesture.

"Y-you're welcome, Jerry! It's nice to meet you! But hop on up, or they'll cover you again! They're not cold, but it's still not good to be buried under Snow Puppies!"

Jerry climbs to his feet, using the nearby wall instead of Yotsuba's hand. Still, there can't be much harm in carrying one up with him, can there? Especially since it doesn't seem to mind being carried, as long as it gets to lick him every so often; its tail thumps against his chest.

"Affectionate little fellows, aren't they?" He takes her hand if she's still offering it, not for help, but a handshake. "And you are?"

And, since Yotsuba wasn't familiar with what a handshake was or how one properly shook another person's hand, she just kept shaking Jerry's hand as she spoke, not really worried about whether she was holding on too tightly or whether the constant motion hurt or irritated him, though she did think that the puppy looked adorable on him. Maybe he should keep it as a pet!

"I'm Yotsuba! Yotsuba Koiwai! I dunno what eff..effectionate is, but they are nice puppies! And even though they're Snow Puppies, they're not overheating!"

As she spoke, the rest of the litter swarmed around them, jumping up and down and licking any exposed skin they could get at. Normally, Yotsuba might have tumbled down too, but she used Jerry's arm like a rope and, instead of falling, she just laughed at their antics.

"If they like you, you must be good but..how'd we get here?! Are you part of the guvernment?! Is it Play With Puppies Day?!"

[Well, he might be trapped, but honestly there are puppies and, well no one's going to worry if he plays with them for just a little while, right?]

[[She's just going to stare blankly at this swarm of mass adorableness. Why is she watching twenty of the--hey, no chewing on her arrows.]]

[Oh hey, it's that extravagantly equipped american destroyer with worse luck than Shigure. Why does she get radar-directed AA when Kaga doesn't? It seems that in their excitement, the puppies knocked her over by bumping into her shins and are now climbing onto her back and legs.]

Nooooooooo! Get off of meeeeeee....

[ This looks to be so pathetic as to be hilarious. Though she doesn't visibly react much, her lips upturn the slightest at Willie's misfortune. She leans down so that the adorable batch of golden retrievers and whistles slightly, so that most of them surge at her instead. ]

Maybe you consider a change in duties.

[ Not that this would be Kaga's first choice. Or second. Or third. ]

But...But you need a destroyer, right? And I'm the only one here!

[Exactly what Kaga needs a destroyer for, Willie isn't sure, but it's what she was told to do. Watch puppies and Kaga.]

I'm not sure how effective *either* of us is at raising puppies.

[ Kaga stares blankly at one who's gnawing on her shoes. Its bite wouldn't even be strong enough to bruise her, which just made it more endearing than dangerous. ]

Sammy is better at dog-training I think...Ah, your stockings! No puppy, they'll tear![She'll try to shoo the puppy away from Kaga's feet and her lovely platform sandal-ships.]

You won't distract him for very long--

[ Watch as the adorable terror decides that Willie's face was close enough that it was better off licking her than attacking Kaga's shoe. Meanwhile, Kaga sits down, and at least ten puppies all parade in her lap. She wondered if Akagi would be any more graceful in handling them. ]

Okay, I was wrong.

[CORGI PUPPIES. CORGI PUPPIES EVERYWHERE.

BEST DAY EVER.]

( the room has corners in the fashion that most rooms do, and sitting on the floor in one of the corners with her knees under her chin is maika madke, who pretty categorically does not like dogs, and hasn't really bothered trying to make room for puppies in her heart. her runners are loosely laced and she extends a leg in ronan's direction with a pitiful frown and a little wiggle of her ankle, indicating the baby labrador with a paw caught in the loop of her shoelace, who pretty merrily toddles along next to her ankle. )

Can you — free it.

( ronan has been laying on the ground among the puppies ever since he got in here because why the hell not. one of them has fallen asleep on his chest, and he glances over at maika and blinks. he doesn't question her - yet - but gently displaces the little sleepy lump and rolls over, careful not to crush any of the other puppies as he does.

(one of them immediately clambers onto his back.)

the puppy gives ronan's nose a lick, once freed from maika's shoelace. )

Don't like dogs?

( look, animal lovers can smell animal haters. )

( woah, hey, let's not go slinging around things like 'animal hater' so easily. you wanna hear maika madke's thoughts on hamsters and bunnies and shit? no you don't 'cause if you heard the start you would not live long enough to hear the end of maika madke's thoughts on hamsters and bunnies and shit. maika fucking loves rodents and all that crap. )

'm not a fan.

( like, it's not so bad with puppies. she's past the initial discomfort. now it's just, residual discomfort, which is still bad but not as sharp-pain-in-your-chestish as initial. every time one of them moves past her right calf (which happens less and less once they start realizing that out of the two people in the room she is not the go-to for cuddles) it's like, oh my god, there's literally a scar under my jeans there, you inconsiderate fuck. puppies aren't bad, they're just so fucking self obsessed! )

((Bernese Mountain Puppies, because Ellie needs something nice and cute in her life okay))

When Ellie heard that the local breeder was doing a puppy playtime event to help the local students unwind from all of the standardised testing, she had a gameplan for the entire week. Latch key kid she was, as long as she was home before dinner and texted no one seemed to mind that she almost never went directly home after class.

But this? This was totally next level. All she knew was one minute she was opening the door, announcing to that she was here for the goods and next she was scrambling to close the door lest one of the more adventurous pups got out. That was nearly an hour ago. Now she was in the middle of a pile of sleepy pups, reading the book Riley lent her and waiting for an opportune moment to move.

[Yes, someone has decided to lock not Bruce Banner, but the Hulk into a room full of puppies. ASPCA would not approve of this manner of trying to calm the Hulk down after a HYDRA fight, but come on, the Hulk seems to be happy about it? If the Hulk can ever be happy. The puppies sure aren't afraid of him!

[ooc: This is damn near crack, I just wanted to have some fun. ^_^]

The Architect of Operation: Cold Noses is sitting in the observation room and Jack is trying so hard not to laugh. This was supposed to shift the Hulk back to Bruce. Instead the Hulk seems to be having the time of his life. Happy Hulk? This is a new one.

Jack waves off the technician. "Nah nah, let him play. But I've got to get a closer look."

Once the door opens, a few of the cloud of labrador puppies around the Hulk wander away to sniff at the new person, but they trail back to the group as Jack walks closer, having to step carefully.

"A closer look-" The technician gets, sounding like Jack must be losing his mind, but there's not a lot he can say against Jack's insane idea like going into a room with the Hulk without getting in trouble!

But they're discovering something surprising about the Hulk. Around the puppies, he seems to be infinitely more gentle when he touches them and the puppies seem to be very happy to play with the big green 'monster'. He currently has one chewing on his index finger on one hand (unable to get through that thick hide), has another two in his lap, and is slowly petting, with a single finger, another one that's rolled on its stomach.

However, when Jack comes in, his head comes up and he looks hard at the other, which makes several puppies look up at him.

Jack freezes and holds up his hands, as if to show that he's got nothing in them. The instant of tension is rather undercut by the low level of constant yips and snuffling sounds coming from the herd of puppies. Jack slowly breaks eye contact to look down at the puppies. Never gonna win a staring contest with the Hulk, and he doesn't want to.

He floofs his coat out behind him as he slowly sits down on the spot. A chocolate lab instantly comes over to investigate, thinks Jack's shoes smell fascinating. "Hello there." He reaches out to pet the dog, but is keeping a sly eye up at the much more interesting sight of the Hulk. This is cool, right, Big Guy? I can play, too?

There's a long stillness and silence from the Hulk before he snorts, then goes back to what he was doing. Each puppy is so small that he can pick one up in a hand, and he does so, bringing it nose to nose with him. When the pup starts licking him, Jack will hear something so weird that he might not even recognize it at first.

The Hulk is laughing. He's most definitely laughing, letting the puppy lick at him.

Oh. Oh, what's this? Jack pulls the squirming puppy all the way into his lap so he can look at the Hulk better, and that sound, it's something so unlike the Hulk. Jack has to stare for a second to make sure that's what he's hearing.

Nope, this is the cutest thing ever. Those tech guys outside had better be recording this for ~~blackmail~~ data.

The puppy is nosing at Jack's coat pocket, until it chases what it's after all the way off his lap, and whatever it found makes a high-pitched squeek. Yip? The puppy pulls away, startled, then braces, tail in the air, and nose very close to Jack's coat. Sniff sniff sniff yip? The telltale sound of a squeaky toy has caught the attention of quite a few of the other puppies, as well.

The squeaky toy actually startles the Hulk for a moment, leaving him to frown down at Jack as he tries to figure out what it is. In a way? He's acting almost exactly like the puppies with just a slightly different body language. So now Jack has one Hulk and several puppies all eagerly waiting for him to pull out the toy.

Or the Hulk will end up pulling it out for him, really. Spare your coat, Jack.

Jack giggles at the puppy for a second, and waggles a hand to tease it. "Where is it? You want it?" Oh, but he has the attention of a much larger playmate who probably wouldn't react well to teasing. So, okay. He digs into his pocket to reveal a red and purple rubber ball. He squeezes it with his hand to let it squeak again.

There is a flood of yips, and there are suddenly more of the puppies running over to Jack than he expected. "He-hey, hey!" Laughing, and trying to hold it up out of reach, as the dogs spill over each other to get to it. They all pop up one at a time, rearing up onto hind legs, only to fall over again quickly.

"Ball?" He waves it again, and then tosses it towards the far wall, letting it bounce and roll across the floor.

The puppies all go running after it on their hysterically uncoordinated legs, tails wagging. The Hulk doesn't get up, doesn't reach out for it, but he does watch it and after several seconds of the puppies' antics, he gives a wide grin.

"Ball." A single word, but more than the Hulk usually ever says and it's not even in response to something violent or aggressive and he's smiling on top of it. It's a weird sort of smile/grin/smirk, but it's obvious what it's supposed to be.

Jack is giggling even harder at the controlled chaos that follows one little ball throw. Excited barks punctuated by squeaks every time one of them lands on top of the ball, which only makes it bounce further away, only for the next pup to try, and chase it away instead of catch it. Jack slowly pulls himself up off the ground and carefully steps over. "Ah, ah," he reaches into the middle of the pile and snatches up the ball. Disappointed whimpers mix with more barks of anticipation. Ball?

Jack holds the ball out towards the smiling Hulk. The brand new smile on his face makes Jack grin right back. You want to try?

...

Did Jack Harkness really just offer the Hulk a projectile weapon? The technician in the observation booth nearly as a coronary on the spot but can't even get to the mic before the Hulk reaches out and takes it. His brow furrows, then he looks at the puppies who have discovered he has the ball and are sitting in eagerness for it to be thrown, all tail wagging and yipping and almost vibrating.

The technician dives for cover when the Hulk throws.

It does end up being way too hard, but too hard more for a human than the Hulk. It goes straight across the room in a hurry and ends up bouncing madly off the wall and floor, but it doesn't pop, doesn't leave a hole in the room, doesn't hurt the first puppy it hits when they all go running after it.

The Hulk looks very pleased about it.

Yes, yes he did, and oh is Jack amused at the results. He figured there was about a 50% chance that ball was ending up going straight through the window, sure, but it's funnier that it didn't. He shoots that amused grin at the window, and shrug as if he was powerless to stop everything, instead of the guy that set this whole thing in motion. Brat.

It takes the puppies longer to be able to stop the ball this time, it keeps bouncing off of each of them, and out of their reach, but that only makes them all more excited. Yip, yip, squeek, and it rolls further away. Two of the puppies from the back of the crowd can't get close, so they turn back around and sniff at the Hulk, as if trying to see if he has another ball? Ears and tail droop adorably, as one lays on the charm with a high-pitched whine.

The Hulk is watching the whole thing with what could be considered glee, eyes bright over his grin, but when the puppies come back over to him, he ends up frowning. His head tilts as he looks down at them, puzzled, before he reaches down with both hands and picks them up much to their confusion and each gets put into his lap. Well, his lap becomes a new playground for them to poke around in and one gets immediately lost in his legs.

While the rest of the puppies have managed to stop the ball and are fighting over it in a sea of wagging tails.

And here nobody thought the Hulk was even capable of thought like this. Jack is far more amused by the Hulk than the puppies for a moment, watching exactly how much care he is taking with the little guys. Maybe this is good for him, let him out when there's nothing dangerous going on, let him learn...

Or maybe this is just adorable. One of the pups has gotten control over the ball and can't quite pick it up, but can keep batting it with its nose and front paws to bap it over towards the Hulk. It's sticky in dog drool from attempts to pick it up, but still good, right? Squeak, as pup and ball both bonk into the Hulk's leg. The crowd behind him is again, sitting in anticipation, tails wagging into one another as bright eyes watch him. Again? Oh, that poor technician in the control room...

Who is recording this but is basically waiting to die or for hell to break loose. There isn't enough money in the world for this job right now. Maybe it's a bit like a train wreck; he can't look away.

But the Hulk hardly cares about doggie drool and picks up the ball, holding it up. All the puppies follow the movement of the ball, which ends up with him moving it back and forth to get the puppies to follow it with their heads. He grins even more, then gets the urge to finally throw it.

This time though, he throws it hard enough that it does leave a bit of a dent, but it bounces right back towards him. So now the puppies are running back and forth as the Hulk plays catch with himself, sort of, with all the puppies trying to get the ball in the air.

Jack's eyebrows raise at the new dent in the drywall, left there with a squeaky thump. He bursts into giggles as the Hulk repeats the motion, and it drives the little pups into action. Oh, so mean, as the puppies race back and forth in a line, rearing up one at a time to try to get at the ball. They all completely miss, but that doesn't stop any of them from trying, completely excited by the game.

Awww, wanna play too. Jack holds up his hand once after the Hulk catches the ball again. "Ball?" Another glance at the dent in the wall. Is that your final answer, Jack?

The Technician up there has practically resigned as he is not going to be responsible for the death of a guest of Mr. Stark. He has 911 on speed dial.

The Hulk looks at the ball and Jack, and while he isn't stupid as he's more than proven, it takes him time to learn new things. He does manage to put two and two together though and throws it. At the same sort of pressure he'd thrown it at the wall.

Pow! There isn't even time for Jack to realize the critical error he's made before the ball thuds straight past his hand and into his chest, knocking him backwards. No time to recover his breath before insult added to injury, every one of the pups begins barking excitedly as they have their opening, and all of them flood over Jack now that they can reach the ball!

Jack takes a deep breath in, only to lose it again as the flurry of fur and paws runs him over. "Ah- hey, watch it- tickles..." Giggles. One has planted itself right on Jack's chest and starts licking at his face. He's pretty well penned-in, and he can't quite sit back up immediately. He tries, only to find that two more are standing on the coat. "Hey..." Poke. Pooooke. Mooove. He's going to be finding his coat for weeks. As he raises his head to look at the very amused Hulk, though? Worth it.

The technician is up there, almost unable to believe that Jack lived getting pegged in the chest by the Hulk. The Hulk is laughing, that weird sound that doesn't sound quite right but its definitely some form of a laugh. He stands up and walks over, leaning over Jack and the horde of puppies.

Then he sat down with a hard thump that sent half the puppies falling from the small shockwave.

[Pug puppies. So many pug puppies. Don't mind him, he'll just be a little alarmed by so many small furry things running at him full speed.]
