Garnet let the dog, but leaned over and gave John a kiss on the cheek.

"Not that I'm complaining," said John, "but were you just... making a point to that dog?"

He considered.

"...I'm fine with that," he added.

Yasmin took Rania's hand and ran to school!

"Since you said there was magic, I figured it might have been a spy for someone," Garnet said.

"Could be," said John.  "Seemed to be focused on you, no matter what."

"Yep, not sure who'd do that. Except maybe the vampire," Garnet said.

"Yeah, but why lick me, then?" said John.  "It's weird."

"Good question. Do werewolves have any animal control?" Garnet asked.

"Kind of?" said John.  "But not really like that.  We'd have to be right there directing the dog."

"Hmm. Well then, wanna follow the dog?" Garnet asked.

"...I can try, but it took off pretty fast," said John.  "You up for a chase?"

"Let's go!" Garnet said.

They took off!

Roll Athletics + a movement rank.

(OOC: Athletics check, no movement powers that I want to use - Garnet Greer rolled 26 using 1d20+8)

It was a challenge, but Garnet had a line on the fleeing dog!  It attempted to lose her in a crowd...

Perception check

(OOC: perception roll - Garnet Greer rolled 15 using 1d20+6. Rerolling. Garnet Greer rolled 23 using 1d20+6)

There it was!  She might be able to catch it if she hurried...

Garnet hurries after it.

One more Athletics check, an easy one.

(OOC: Athletics check - Garnet Greer rolled 26 using 1d20+8)

She was now right on top of the dog!

...now what?

Garnet grappled the dog.

(OOC: Attack roll - Garnet Greer rolled 19 using 1d20+6)

The dog yelped in protest; it looked like some people were starting to turn to look, though.

"Don't mind me, just getting my dog," Garnet said before fleeing with it.

It was fortunate that Garnet was strong; the dog was a handful!  And it was growling and snapping at her, too.
