[Hector means to only send this message to the people he's met here so far, but it's posted publicly.]

is anyone not going on the expedition that could keep an eye on Cezar for me?

[Attached is a picture of black pug, with heavy scarring over the right eye. His tongue is lolled out of his mouth happily, and the old wound doesn't seem like it bothers him.]

[Skeleton wolf man! Hector knows who you are, so that's a point in your favor.]

there are a few volunteers, so i may split up the shifts so it's not too much work for any one person.

[Not that Cezar is much work, but it also ensures that Cezar has multiple playmates while Hector is away.]

[His username really is carefully calculated to make him as recognizable as possible. To people here, since he's the only skeleton, and to people back home, since it was his undernet username.]

HEY, SMART THINKING!

ESPECIALLY IF HE HAS ANY TRICKY QUIRKS TO LOOK OUT FOR.

DOES HE? STEALING FOOD FROM THE COUNTER... BONES FROM BOXES... CHEWING SHOES?

[These are all, one way or another, problems Papyrus has dealt with in dogs. Including himself.]

he barely reaches my knees when he stands on his hind legs. if you manage to leave something where he can reach it when nobody is watching, it’s fair game for him.

I SEE, I SEE... A SMALL DOG. SO CLEAN FLOORS ARE A MUST.

DOES HE HAVE ANY SPECIAL ALLERGIES? OR SPECIAL FOOD PREFERENCES?

no known allergies [Although until he arrived here, the dog was undead and didn't actually need to eat, so it's possible there could be something Hector hasn't discovered yet?]

i will bring you his food. he can have some treats, but he'll beg shamelessly, so you need to harden your heart so i don't come home to a stuffed sausage of a pug.

[Hopefully the dog doesn't get jealous of Papyrus still being bones, even if his variety of skeleton isn't undead.]

OHO, THE TRUE CHALLENGE OF THIS REQUEST BECOMES CLEAR... I WILL DO MY BEST!! AND HOLD STRONG!!!! EVEN IN THE FACE OF THE MOST YEARNING OF PUPS.

AND MAKE WALKS A CONDITION FOR TREATS.

[Hector is smiling and shaking his head at the same time at his watch.]

yes, do make him work for his treats. it'll be good for him in the long run.

DOUBLE GOOD. MAYBE EVEN TRIPLE GOOD??
EXERCISE... THE CHANCE TO GO PLACES AND SMELL THINGS... TIRING HIM OUT SO HE'LL SLEEP.

[He knows both sides of that one, though it's just not the same to bring himself for a walk.]

IS EVERY DOGWATCHER ANOTHER MIRRORBOUND?

yes. i haven't met many locals yet.

AH, STICKING CLOSE TO THE LOOKING-GLASS HOUSE...

I UNDERSTAND. IT'S EASIER WITH FAMILIAR FACES AROUND.

BUT! THERE'S PLENTY OF FRIENDLY LOCALS TO MEET! DON'T FORGET TO CHAT WITH COWORKERS, OR TALK WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS, OR OTHERWISE MEET PEOPLE.

sure

[There's no chance in hell that Hector goes out of his way to meet more people than he has to, but it's nice that Papyrus has faith in him.]
