Fourth promise; video

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Rinoa's feed turns on, but... Rinoa doesn't look quite normal. Actually, she looks something like her dog from back home but with similar coat color and markings similar to this pretty lady.

In sum, Rinoa's a brush god, much like Vatheon's resident ones. And she is very confused.

Unable to speak, Rinoa nudges the device with her nose, whining in agitation. Although she's worried and on the verge of panic, her brain still functions like normal, so she knows she has to show who she is some other way. She steps back from the camera, fumbling over the use of her four legs. To anyone who knows her, it's clear it's her house that she's in.

She barks, desperately trying to talk. And again. And again. When no words come out, Rinoa gives up and lies on the floor, letting out a small, pitiful whine.]

((ooc: Sorry for the lack of pertinent icons. Laziness on my part :C

[This is the second new wolf he's seen on these; the other looked like she was managing, but this one seems distressed.

Perrin can sympathize. What she's going through is akin to one of his own fears.]

It's all right. Do you need someone to help you?

((Even further laziness on my part means Perrin is unaffected. But his normal powers are relevant, when he gets closer. Up to you. =3))

[Rinoa peers over, her ears perking up as she tilts her head to the side. She's just confused, and wondering what's going on. Why is she a dog??]

((ooc: Fine by me if it works with dogs? She's technically that and not a wolf, although it certainly seems otherwise.))

[Luckily he's grown pretty used to reading canine body language, too.]

You aren't the only one who's changed. It seems to be one of those curses.

((Hmm. Well, since she's a sentient dog I'm gonna say it should at least work some.))

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Her ears perk up at that. Oh, really? That would explain it. If it's a curse, then it's only temporary. She gives out a huff in relief.]

((okie doke!))

[ex_wolfbrother668]

[He nods a bit; good, that's calmed her down.]

Is there anything else?

[...doors to open? He glances past her in the feed, but can't really tell.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

[She shuffles to the side, showing him a better view of her house, specifically the living room. She gives a shake of her head though at his offer, though she appreciates it. Someone else is coming.]

[Video]

[ex_wolfbrother668]

All right. Let me know if you change your mind. I'll be listening.

[He's not sure she knows how to reach out as a wolf, but she seems to be using the device well enough.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

[An attempt to salute him ends up with her just waving her paw around awkwardly. She growled in annoyance at herself before resigning herself to a nod.]

[unshelledbullet]

[That is Rinoa's house. But where is Rinoa? And since when did she get a dog?

Of course, Squall knows the answer to both of those questions, but just to make sure...]

Rinoa, is that you?

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Squall! Rinoa shifts into view and barks. What's going on, dude?]

[unshelledbullet]

[That's confirmation enough for him.]

Are you okay?

[Do you need him to...open doors or something?]

[sorcery_fledgling]

[She needs opposable thumbs.

Laying down on her belly, she lets out a low growl of annoyance. No, she's not okay. She's a dog and not sure how to get by. Her eyes scan over what she can see of him. He's not a dog or anything. Her head is tilted to the side then, wondering just what's going on.]

[unshelledbullet]

Are you fine by yourself or should I go over there?

[sorcery_fledgling]

[She gives a small whine. Please come over? If anything because she can't access her food or get out of the house.]

[unshelledbullet]

[Squall isn't very fluent in dog, but he can guess that's probably a yes. Should he stop and pick up some dog food on the way over? Nah, let's not. She would probably bite his hand off or something. When Squall arrives at Rinoa's place, he at first knocks on the door before realizing no, that's stupid and he opens the door instead, finding it unlocked.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Smart move on his part. She's annoyed and confused; heaping an insult on top of it all would just be a bad move.

Although the knock might be unnecessary, it does alert Rinoa to Squall arriving. She walks over to the door, still getting used to her legs, and peers her head around the door. Her tail's wagging as she looks up at him and barks.]

[topsseifer]

[He doesn't remember actually what her place looks like. He just knows he has another buddy suffering through something similar. He barked as he flopped in front of his own SFC.

Hey gurl heeeeey.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

[She should know him, shouldn't she? Something about him is familiar, even if she can't place it.

Rinoa greets him with a bark, tilting her head to the side. Hi!]

[cheapshinigami]

Hello miss puppy? Are you the sibling of that wolf puppy running around in Vatheon? [He saw Chibi once when he was attempting to type.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Ah, hey! She knows you! And has no way of letting him know.

She shakes her head, barking and getting a good look at him. Guh, she needs to think of a way to get across that it's her.]

[cheapshinigami]

[He looks at puppy!Rinoa while she tries to tell him something.]

I believe you're trying to tell me something important...

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Grrrr, how was she supposed to tell him?

Oh wait.

With a short bark she disappears, reemerging a minute later with her necklace. It's one she always wears, with the exception of last night when she removed it to clean it. So it hadn't been on her when she transformed. It's a long shot that he'd recognize the necklace, but at least maybe he can see she's not supposed to be a dog?]

[cheapshinigami]

[Tatsumi takes a close look at the necklace. Normally, he would assume it belongs to the dog's owner, but with this weird curse going on... He would bet that the necklace belongs to the dog, which means that's...]

Rinoa-san?

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Yes! It worked! Rinoa barks in approval, doing her best to look happy.]

[cheapshinigami]

[He smiles at the cute dog.] I suppose it's the curse. Are you alright?
