YES HELLO

[idkmybfforin]

"Unyu?" Briefly, Okuu started to sit back up as if to act like nothing was wrong and--maybe she could reach it now? The mutant dove right back after the phone, which remained exactly where it had been. Mostly out of reach.

"Hi Orin." Was she in trouble?

"I dropped my phone." Stretch. Stretchstretchstretch.

"Hmmmmm." Orin hums thoughtfully, staring at the gutter. It's definitely down there, and there's no way Okuu's going to be able to reach it like this. "It's really far in there, huh?"

It's a gutter, so she hates even the possibility of bringing this up, but as much as she hates the idea of going down to get it, she hates the idea of Okuu feeling bad about losing her phone even more, so a suggestion passes her lips almost immediately.

"I could try goin' down there. I'm a pretty itty-bitty kitty, right?" She snorts at her own rhyme, a little too amused with herself...but she's sincere. Cats are pretty flexible, and while she's not sure she can squeeze through that space, it's worth a shot if it means getting Okuu's phone back.

-!

Okuu stops flailing after her phone for the time being, blinking up at her friend. Her wings stop flailing and buffeting the air, too, instead acting like giant tripods to help her sit up.

"You'd do that?" Wait, no, that was a dumb question. "Should I hold your feet?"

[nyancrophile]

"Well, I was thinkin' of just turning into a cat to do it, but...hmm, your idea's better. How's about this: You grab my back paws, like you said, and I turn back while you're holding me, so I'm big enough to reach it. I grab the phone, put it in my mouth, and change back, and you pull me back up. I'm not sure I can fit down there and get back out as big as I am right now, y'know?" It's a little convoluted, but it's sincerely better than dropping down in there and getting dirty, or messing with the gutter itself. That's property damage, and that's illegal, and Orin may or may not have personal experience with property damage that she does not wish to relive. (She totally does.) She's also not thrilled about the prospect of putting a phone that's been in the gutter in her mouth, but her teensy cat paws certainly can't hold it on the way back up, right?

"I kinda wish more people died in gutters so I could just get someone down there to bring it up, though." She doesn't even realize how horrible that sounds. She's still kind of caught up on the putting the phone in her mouth thing. But it must be done, or else Okuu's phone will be lost for good, and then Orin won't have anyone to send hilarious texts to when she's supposed to be paying attention in class.

[idkmybfforin]

"Okay."

That...sounded complicated! But would probably make more sense when Okuu actually did it instead of thinking about it. Most things were.

"Maybe further in the city? I bet there's a lot of dead things in there," she replies casually, almost lightly and with absolutely none of the expected seriousness that the topic of corpses usually possessed.

Shining beacons of morality, these two.

"Now?"

[nyancrophile]

Orin nods, as though having an epiphany. "Yeah, yeah, there's more people gettin' shot dead in the streets, at least. Animals gettin' run over by cars, that sorta thing...though I always feel a little bad when it's animals, y'know?" For obvious reasons. She's not a cat, but it's hard not to sympathize with something that looks kind of like you. "They never know what hit them." She pauses thoughtfully. "Though maybe somethin' like the gutters would be a good place to start a new collection? I'd have to be on the lookout for passersby though, maybe it's a pain." She just wants to find a nice place to settle down and store some corpses, dammit. Why does everything have to work against her?

"Anyway, I'm ready when you are! We gotta get your phone back, 'cuz I only have the one number in my phone..." Having no one to text is really a depressing thought.

[idkmybfforin]

Utsuho's attention had started to wander off despite her best efforts somewhere in the middle of that, though the command at the end got her attention again.

"I'm ready," Okuu says as she sits up properly into a crouch. She didn't grab Orin's feet yet, though (she was still standing that'd be rude??).

[nyancrophile]

Orin crouches as well, and in a puff of smoke and sparks, a small cat appears in her place. She meows jovially, telling Okuu that she's ready as best she can without vocal cords capable of speech.
