sixth bullet :: video/action

[headedforhope]

[The feed turns on to reveal a large, sunlit meadow that clearly showcases the work of someone who has been working with the magic dirt; a gazebo stands in the center of the clearing, simple in design and yet possessing an old-fashioned sort of charm. The outline of the Monsigny apartment complex can be seen some distance away, a recognizable shape through the thin wall of trees. A pretty picture, to be certain, and yet one devoid of human life; there's no one in sight, much less the one responsible for the gazebo's creation.

Then there's a flurry of motion near the bottom of the mirror's peripheral vision and the feed pans down to show Mami, gesturing to get the Vine's attention. And yet the girl has quite clearly undergone some radical changes; there are cat ears rising out of her hair and a tail peeking out of her skirt to swish around her ankles, both feline appendages a soft golden color to match her curls. She's been severely reduced in size, not much bigger than a pinecone.

Mami looks ridiculous and yet doesn't seem to be bothered by it, given how she appears as unruffled as always. There's no panic, no outrage, just a faintly amused sort of surprise....on the surface, anyway.]

Ah, hello? Can anyone hear me? [the words come out in a squeaky whisper and she clears her throat, trying again in a louder voice.] I'm in something of a predicament, I'm afraid. In making use of the magic dirt, I somehow triggered one of those troublesome side effects; the result is hopefully obvious enough that I don't have to describe it. [A polite chuckle.]

In my current "state" [and here the ears lie flat against her skull for a moment, a clear display of the annoyance her calm smile is attempting to hide] walking back to more appropriate shelter has become a great deal more difficult. If it's not too much trouble, I would appreciate some assistance.

[ooc: Mami has been wildcarded! The area affected is only the gazebo itself, for a couple of hours; comments will be responded to by nekofinale for icon purposes.]

["A shame I'm not that kind of person, then," is what she wants to say, is the actual truth of it, but Mami merely thinks the words rather than allow them out. She has a long way to go yet.] I think you would just laugh rather than feel ashamed of yourself, though....getting a scolding from someone with such a squeaky voice. [Utena's discomfort seems to satisfy her, and Mami attempts a small smile.] If you mean that, then it's fine.

[Utena smiles, bites her lip to keep it from widening into a grin.] Maybe. You don't sound very scary right now. [And she nods again.] Mmhmm, I really mean it. [She hesitates, then holds out her hand.] Do you want to climb on my shoulder again? You can help me pick a tea.

action; keywords yeah!!!

[She looks on the verge of firing off some retort to that, but holds back. Mami hesitates before accepting the offer, yet only briefly this time, moving to climb into that open hand.] Yes, please, it's difficult to get anything done from down here.

action; aww yeah tea!

[revolutionized]

[Utena brightens up, and nods, helping Mami to climb up on her shoulder. It seems she's been forgiven for now, and she can't help but be grateful.]

All right. [And she carefully stands up.] Just hold on to me.

[AND THEN THEY HAD TEA AND IT WAS REALLY CUTE, THE END!!!]
