Hal's mind was awash in cloud , soft drowse that only sharpened in the registration of pain buzzing under his skin . everything hurt. Waking up was a pain , a chore at the moment. Hal's consciousness slowly returned to him , trying to retreat back into his head - mentally grasping for the last dregs of sleep as it eluded him . He wasn't going to sleep anytime soon groaining softly, "unfair" ; Nothing was fair for him . Sleepy mumble the only thing that showed any last threads of sleep - his body was wakeing up - buzz buzz buzz under his skin, a constant - throbbing in his head. hangover ? no, he didn't much drink last night, did he?
He can't remember . well, there answered that question, didn't it? no . Hal was used to missing a few hours after a few sips, but he couldn't remember anything. As much as he has wished before - drinking until he forgot - it never happened . Drinking until your forgot never worked - drinking until you couldn't remember did. this . . . this was not that. He was hit in the head - somewhere , someone -
[glow=#add8e6,2,300]'Lieutenant Hal!'[/glow]
the buzz of those words was a worrying thing , really .
blinking his own stale grey eyes open revealed nothing out of the ordinary - natural green grass - a few cluster of trees within the distance. Hal came to in a clearing - void of anything sole the voice that knew his name , that buzzed with the same undertone of the non-living companion that was gifted to him. Trying to sit up proved difficult , his limbs too short- his torso twisted into a curl that was natural of a human - he felt the ground under him - hands and feet pressing into the earth -
wait .
The proportions of his body was different, off . for one he stood evenly on his hands and feet - looking down only came to show four limbs covered in fur.
He tensed - outwardly his whole body did a sway as a full body shudder took hold of him - balance in this form was natural - instinctual even. The sway of a spotted brown tail swoop in and out of sight as he caught himself mid air - panic drowned out in shock - panic , will come later for how ; what kind of drugs did i take ?.
The voice that roused him - the pain that buzzed under his skin faded slowly out of his awareness - the saint Bernard backing up - back-most feet dragged until he sat down, tail swept in grass - he looked dazed at himself. Chest a mottled white - muzzle ( from what he could see of it ) White with black spotting . what . . . ?
he was a brown , big fluffy dog .
A sudden sound escaped him - a loud bark of laughter , wheezed between once abused - now animal lungs. Oh god damn . . . what a god damn mess did he get himself into ? He couldn't remember - anything at all . vague facts - he was a police officer - a detective really , he was given his own dog-bot - experimental design of latest tech because he was lonely ( the why eluded him ) -
He never named his companion, did he ?
He lifted a paw - trying to sooth the ache - buzz under his skin . the shock was fading slowly, pain sharp stab against his thoughts - cutting panic for now in turn to try and alleviate the pain - that felt so close to a gunshot wound . . .
was he dead ? This was a shitty afterlife .
[ whenever i get off this . . . drug. I promise , no more drugs. God do i remember why i never dabbled again . . . ]
something caught in the preferential of the detective's sight - a flash of black and silver - the familiar glow of yellow - the familiar sight of his companion. Threat - ally registered into his mind - whip shot fast - and he bolted into action, large form clumsy - new without all the aches his old body had - "[glow=#121212,2,300]Rk ?![/glow]" clumsy on his tongue - words - a language he knew not but his body naturally translated to."[glow=#121212,2,300]W- wait ![/glow]" Just as his companion had drifted into sight he left - and the Saint Bernard was left the chase after him. Large paws ate at the ground as he pounded after the wolf -
"[glow=#121212,2,300]what . . . what happened? Rk? It's me , Hal ![/glow]"
