20th Reflection ~ Not A Dolphin

Oct 14, 2008 00:01

[video post]

In Michiru's studio, everything might have seemed normal. Half finished paintings on canvases, neatly organized supplies, the music instruments, the giant flapping aquagreen and white manta ray, a few seating arrangements..... wait.

Michiru flapped her new appendages experimentally, trying to scoot herself along the floor. Unfortunately ( Read more... )

[ Agitated barking. ]

Ara....

[ More barking. Still agitated. Utena was cursing her inability to communicate properly. ]

actingelegantly October 15 2008, 04:49:22 UTC

U...... Utena?

I guess the curse got you too... You're curse is a bit more convenient Are you alright?

[ There was a series of barks, this time sounding infinitely more content. For the love of god, why couldn't she talk? Michiru could talk. How in the world was she supposed to answer that? ]

...

Mah... perhaps we should think of a way to talk to one another...

Would one bark for yes and one short growl for no work?

[ One emphatic bark. ]

[ Then Utena promptly left the device on the floor of the apartment before scooting out the door Himemiya had propped open for her. Michiru was having trouble. She had to help. She couldn't just let her suffocate! ]

Voice actingelegantly October 15 2008, 05:27:24 UTC

Good. So, are you alright?

Utena?

[ It didn't take Utena very long to get to the studio. Thankfully she avoided running into any of the scarier members of the animal community on her way. When she reached the studio, she sat back and stared up at the door like it was Ohtori Akio himself. She growled as she glared at it.

Then she trotted up to it and started pushing and clawing at it, nudging it repeatedly with her head and paws. Finally, after some extremely expended effort, it opened inward. Her tail wagged happily, and she sprinted inside, barking to announce her presence. ]

Michiru flapped her wings in alarm as the door pushed inward. True, she was expecting help, but she felt distinctly vulnerable at the moment.

If she could have smiled when she saw the little dog, she would have. Instead, she made a clumsy attempt to wave Utena over with a wing.

"Utena! You look so cute today... You came to help me?"

Up close in person, it was pretty clear that her breathing was more labored than she let on. Gill slits opened and closed in wide gasps, getting minuscule amounts of oxygen from the environment.

If it were possible for a dog to both sweatdrop and blush, she would have done so then and there. Luckily for her, she couldn't. Instead she settled for making a rumbling sound in her throat and looking away stubbornly. Leave it to Michiru to tease her even in this state.

Then she quickly remembered she came to help and barked once in response to the other girl's question. Head moved from side to side as she glanced around, then, with a quick bark of reassurance, she disappeared into another room.

Michiru watched her pad off still inwardly smiling as she stilled her movements. Her newfound instinct wanted her to keep on flapping, but she knew she should be reserving energy.

Wondering what Utena's plan might be, she waited patiently, unable to help feeling a little like she was part of the old show Lassie.

It took some definite creativity and finagling, but Utena reappeared in the workspace with a bottle of water gripped in her mouth. She was kicking another with her front feet, trying her best to not screw everything up and trip over it. The fewer trips she'd have to make the better. After all, this was all she could do. She couldn't very well drag Michiru to the beach.

Utena walked around to Michiru's head before dropping the bottle. Already, tiny holes made by her teeth leaked water onto the floor. In a hurry to not waste any of the water, she went at the plastic again, trying to saw a more significant rip with her canines. After a moment or two she succeeded, and with a happy yip, she grabbed the bottle in her mouth by the bottle cap. Then she did her best aiming and poured the water onto Michiru's body.

A soft giggle escaped the senshi of seas as she watched Utena wrestle with the water bottles. They wouldn't make everything better, of course, but it was a start.

She didn't realize how good even the small amount of water would feel until it hit her. She actually gasped, twisting her body to catch as much of the water as possible, and she worked her way onto her back to expose her gills to the liquid.

Once she figured out the best way to go about it, she made quick work of the second bottle, emptying the water onto the expansive body Michiru was currently occupying. Once she finished, she pawed around to the other girl's side. She slipped once or twice but eventually made it to a dry place on the floor.

And then Utena promptly rolled onto her back, kicking paws in the air as she barked happily. If she could've spoken, she'd be doing her best to take Michiru's mind off of it all. With her current stature, there was little else the dog prince could do.
