Colette had been on her way to visit Lloyd. She and Lloyd had planned to meet up today, but, as usual, the two of them didn't really plan when, or where. She Colette wasn't even sure that he was in his room.

But look! A distraction! In the form of an adorable black piggy! Colette's attention was immediately brought to the piggy. Colette followed him as quietly as she could, trying not to startle him.

As with anything Colette tried to do quietly, however? It didn't end well. She tripped over her own feet, falling face-first into the floor, and narrowly missing the adorable little black piggy.

She groaned something that sounded like "I-I'm so sorry ..." as she tried to pick herself up.

Ryoga heard someone behind him easily enough. It seemed like his fight or flight response was triggered pretty much all the time while he was a piglet, and the adrenaline made him slightly more aware. He decided to play dumb.

Nothing to see here! Just a pig in the hall... Totally normal, right?

He had a pretty darn good blankly innocent expression if he did say so himself!

Then there was a crash, and he almost bolted! He paused when he heard a groan. He couldn't very well just leave if somebody was hurt! Not that he could really do anything, but still!

He turned around and blinked at the blonde girl making her way back to her feet.

ANIMAL PARTY! rumbleball_z March 25 2011, 22:06:10 UTC

The scent of wet fur filling his little blue nose, a rather soaked Chopper walked down the hallway, his hooves clopping happily along the hard floor.

In the shape of a full reindeer, he thought to himself if he should have joined in the water fight. Goodness knows Miss Tsunade had left him with quite a bit of work to be done. No matter the case, he walked down the hallway still soaked and looking for towel, when his eyes noticed a peculiar sight.

Confused, he walked up to the little pig, and spoke up.

"Hello?"

WOOO! soveryverylost March 26 2011, 00:13:01 UTC

Ryoga was expecting a person, since he heard a voice, so he was pretty surprised to find himself looking up at a... deer of some kind? Wait... A talking deer? The voice and the hat seemed awfully familiar.

Chopper? I didn't know he was a shapeshifter! Looks like he can still talk in that form. Lucky!

"Bwee," Ryoga replied. It was more or less the equivalent of "hello" in pig. He'd on occasion spoken with other pigs, not that many had anything very interesting to say, and he wondered if the other student could understand him.

rumbleball_z March 26 2011, 16:49:50 UTC

"Maybe Miss Tsunade got another pig?" He thought to himself. Finding his greeting had been returned by this new comer, the young doctor smiled and nodded his head in reply.

"Hi! Do you need help?"

It was a good thing he could understand animals after all!

soveryverylost March 27 2011, 00:55:39 UTC

So Chopper could understand him! This, however, brought Ryoga to the ever present quandary of whether to admit to his pig problems.

On the one hand, Chopper was a nice guy, and he'd probably keep the secret if Ryoga asked him to keep it. Plus, he could understand what he was saying as a pig, which would make his life much easier!

On the other hand, Chopper thought he was just a strange pig and didn't seem to think this was odd in any way. He could probably get away with playing along with that train of thought. He knew he'd feel bad about essentially lying to Chopper, but it wasn't like he hadn't done it to other people before ( ... )

This thread is after everything's happened? totally_blue March 26 2011, 16:23:04 UTC

Kaito's life was in disaster. He's wearing a blue raincoat for some reason. That's right, any moment he would be the victim in the water balloon fight. He can choose to avoid them, but work is work. Summer vacation was meaningless for him since he joined the institute. Not just that, he had to work double shift, which he's completely worn out by the end of the day.

"Auch! That's it, kids. Can't you see I'm cleaning here?! Go play somewhere else!" The laughter from the group of youngsters slowly vanished and Kaito adjusted his raincoat. Seriously, how much water they were wasting?

The hallway was a mess, the floor was full of spoiled water and balloons. Lucky for him, there's no accident involved with glasses or dangerous tools. He took out the mop and started to clean out the floor. He's not sure how long it took, but one thing he knew he couldn't get it done by tomorrow.

Yup. Ryoga tried to stay out of the water fight, but it found him anyway. soveryverylost March 27 2011, 01:02:02 UTC

Ryoga trotted around a corner to find... a man mopping in a raincoat? Wearing a raincoat indoors? Pure genius! Why had that never occurred to him?

At any rate, this guy looked pretty busy containing a large puddle on the floor, so maybe Ryoga could sneak past unnoticed?

A tiptoeing pig was a no doubt utterly ridiculous sight, but the boost in quietness was totally worth it. Hopefully.

totally_blue March 28 2011, 08:21:46 UTC

The time ticked off and Kaito didn't know how long he's going to put this to the end. He yawned and stretched his arm before he continued his daily work. If only he had a power to clean this at once.

Out of sudden, his non-ordinary human sense triggered. He closed his eyes and clutched the mop as he began to focus what kind of faint sound he was hearing. Maybe he's in danger or not. No one knew he's got super hearing senses except his family, and it triggered when he's unnoticed.

The footsteps he was listening became clearer than before. 'Thud, thud, thud...', and he opened his eyes. Wasn't that animal's footsteps? He glanced on his back, revealing Ryoga in pig form and he frowned.

"Hey buddy. Are you lost?" Seriously, who breed a pig in the institute?

soveryverylost March 28 2011, 11:52:41 UTC

Ryoga put on his best "I am just an innocent pig" look and blinked up at Kaito. He was sure he was being the quietest he'd ever been, but apparently he wasn't as quiet as he thought!

He couldn't tell whether this guy was asking rhetorically, as some people did when speaking to animals, or if he might actually be able to understand him; this was a school for mutants, and most of the staff had special powers, too.

He oinked and nodded, forgetting that such gestures weren't exactly normal pig behavior.

Well, now's as good a time as any. dukesson March 27 2011, 21:31:26 UTC

The main door to the building was wrenched open from the outside, followed by a loud squeak of sneakers on the tiles and the slamming of said door. Just inside the entrance, gasping heavily and sopping wet, stood Luke fon Fabre, newbie to the institute and the real world in general.

"What. The HELL. Was THAT?" he managed to growl between breaths. Not two minutes after he had been dropped off, by taxi, onto the grounds he was suddenly bombarded with water of all sorts, mainly from exploding balloons. He dropped his equally soaked luggage onto the floor to sweep his hair out of his eyes.

"First they make me start school in the middle of the summer, then they attack me before I even get inside, and they make me carry my own bags? What kind of third-rate place is this?!" He continued muttering complaints to himself as he wrung the water out of his hair and clothes.

Come on in, the water's... everywhere! soveryverylost March 27 2011, 21:53:33 UTC

Ryoga trotted around a corner and into the entryway just in time to observe Luke's entrance.

Tch... This guy thought he was having a bad day? He got a little wet and had to carry his own stuff? Boo frickin' hoo. Try being a piglet against your will, buddy!

Now that Ryoga got a look at the luggage, there was quite a lot of it! If he weren't stuck as a piglet at the moment, he would have offered to help carry things because how heavy could those really be? (Relatively speaking--super strength and all...)

Ryoga sat back on his haunches to watch; this should be amusing, if only in a rather sadistic sort of way!

dukesson March 27 2011, 22:48:36 UTC

Luke straightened out his not-quite-as-wet-as-before clothes as best he could, which wasn't much, considering they had this nasty habit of sticking to themselves. Satisfied(or maybe he had just grown tired of trying), he looked at his many bags, decided he didn't really want to try picking them up again, and scanned the area for someone to ask what the heck he was supposed to do now.

Instead, he found himself staring at a small black thing sitting at the far end of the room. An animal? Yeah, he was pretty certain it was an animal since it hadn't been there when he walked in. Let's see...it was small, and round, and black, and had rather long ears...

"...Rabbit?" he found himself guessing aloud.

soveryverylost March 27 2011, 23:08:53 UTC

Ryoga squealed in indignation. Rabbit? Rabbit? Seriously?

He might not be super thrilled with the prospect of turning into a pig, but he certainly wasn't some stupid bunny!

He'd already charged several steps forward before he remembered he was still a very small pig and thus at a huge disadvantage if he started a fight! He let out a disgruntled snort and glared up at the stranger.

Topher was exploring a bit, getting to know the place, probably getting into things he should not have been, such as kitchens and boiler rooms and trying to get into what he suspected may have been a secret, but he was intelligent enough to know that if it was this difficult to get into, perhaps he just wasn't meant to be there. The water fight? Completely lost on him, though maybe later he would don his ninja garb and surprise attack someone. He groaned when he realized that later for him would probably be after everyone was done. Another lonely evening for Topher ( ... )

soveryverylost March 30 2011, 00:50:56 UTC

Ryoga looked up at the origin of the voice and froze.

Oh no...

Residual embarrassment from his first meeting with Topher made him simultaneously want to bolt and apologize profusely. If he weren't rooted to the spot, he probably would have been doing the first already, but in his current state, he couldn't really do the second either.

It slowly registered that he had been asked a question. He may as well answer, not that it would be understood...

"Bwee?"

Curse this DDoS! Have had this reply sitting here for forever! starchdrawer April 5 2011, 18:34:17 UTC

"I can see you're scared! Must be freaky being out here all alone, but stick with me and we'll find out where you came from!"

Topher considered strongly picking the pig up, but pigs weren't animals you carried. That was more dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, snakes, lizards, not pigs. Or maybe? It was a little pig, and when Topher thought of pigs, he thought of much bigger things. This place was making things difficult for him already! Though, if this was the biggest problem he faced all day - whether or not it was appropriate to carry a pig - he supposed he was doing well. It was much better than trying to steal files and worlds better than his last assignment that had gotten him out of his old job permanently.

"I... can I pick you up, or you wanna follow me? I mean you can understand me? Or no? Mutant pig?"

soveryverylost April 6 2011, 02:33:51 UTC

Ryoga bristled a little. He was not scared! Devastatingly embarrassed perhaps, but he wasn't afraid.

As for being carried, Ryoga would much rather walk on his own, since he felt a little less helpless while in control of his own mobility. He took a few steps closer to Topher but kept out of arm's reach.

He was actually a mutant person and not a pig, but he gave a small nod anyway.
