[ Steph the Otter has a great deal of energy, and there is so much playing to be done. She wanders back and forth between the pool, the CES, the cafeteria and her room, where she occasionally attempts to turn on the shower and more than once ends up playing with her shampoo bottles instead. She's lying if she says it's all animal instinct. Her animal instincts tell her that she should be hunting for food to fuel her otter-metabolism instead of wasting energy, but her human mind tells her that this is going to be over in a few days and there is no shortage of fish in both the cafeteria and the CES. She hasn't been in a mood to play around in a while, and damned if she's going to let this opportunity pass without getting the full otter experience.

In the CES she swims in whatever water she can find and eats whatever she can catch that she can ascertain was never an inmate or a warden. In the pool she simply plays, and makes certain that no, her fur is totally water resistant and she isn't shedding in the water at all. In the cafeteria she eats as much as she can fit into her stomach at the time before moving on to the hallways to look for more fun. ]

[When Kon first came across the shampoo bottles scattered all over the place, he was a little annoyed. Not only were they knocked over but the caps were done. A little cleanliness went along way.

The second time around, he spots the culprit in action and find himself terrible amused. Attempts to sneak up on her to try and scoop her up.]

[ichoosefight]

[ She lets out a bark and flails a little in his arms. ]

I, uh, it's not what it looks like!

[an_abomination]

Uh huh. It looks like you're leaving a mess for me to clean up. [Turns her around so the two of them are looking at each other and he smiles at her.]

[ichoosefight]

Okay, it's exactly what it looks like. But only because I don't have thumbs. [ She waves her little paws at him. She would clean if she could! ]

[an_abomination]

You're lucky you make an adorable otter. [As if otters couldn't be adorable. Cradles her in one of his arms and picks up the shampoo bottles with his other.]

[ichoosefight]

That's not luck, that's the nature of otters! [ She attempts to roll over and crawl up his chest to stick her wet otter nose in his face. ]

[an_abomination]

[Starts laugh and turns his face to the side so her nose brushes against his cheek and doesn't tickle as much.]

True. I think someone would be hard pressed to not find a cute otter. [Kisses her on the tip of her nose.]

[Cass finds Steph while she's swimming in the CES and for the longest time, she just stares. She can see it's Steph, the little otter somehow manages to move with the same self confidence Stephanie always has, but... otters are adorable. There isn't anyone else there now, so Cass drops onto the ground and starts pulling her shoes off, intending to go swimming with her best friend.]

[ichoosefight]

[ Steph is so focused on her fishing that she doesn't notice Cass until she's about to get into the water. ]

Cass! Come on in, the water's great!

[hellofist]

[You couldn't stop her now if you wanted to, Stephanie. She's on her feet again, wrestling her shirt off and then finally there are no more things to weigh her down, so she jumps into the lake and swims to her friend.]

You're cute.

[ichoosefight]

[ Steph swims in little circles around Cass. ]

Thanks! Being an otter is great. Seen any of the others?

[hellofist]

[Cass treads water in a circle to keep her eyes on Steph, reaches out to pet her adorable little head.]

Merlin's a dragon.

[Honestly, that's kind of the only thing that even matters anymore. Nothing will top a dragon, it's impossible.]

[ichoosefight]

A dragon, seriously? [ She nuzzles the hand, purring quietly. ]

Does he breath fire?

[Aya comes across the otter as she hops down the hallway, her nose twitching as her scanners detect a familiar presence. Bright, blue eyes stars with great curiosity, wondering who this Earth creature was. She recognized the form as otter, though that was very little to go on if she was to reasonable deduce his or her identity.]

[They did not appear antagonistic, so she risked hopping a little closer, nudging her nose as a gesture of good will.]

[ichoosefight]

[ That... is definitely a green rabbit. There aren't a lot of people on board who are green, and less that she would have thought of as rabbits. She tries to smile without bearing her teeth too much. ]

Oh, hello!

[looksfine]

[Unfortunately, the strange change in construct had impeded Aya's speech functions. She couldn't talk.]

[What she could do was sniff around a little, rubbing at her bunny nose with one paw, then twitching it in the otter's general direction. Hello, her strange body language seemed to say back.]

[ichoosefight]

[ She tilts her head at Aya. At least, that's who she thinks it is. ]

You can't talk, huh? That's rough. [ She pads over to sniff at the bunny instinctively. ]

You doing alright?

[looksfine]

[Aya gives no signs one way or the other about the sudden personal space invasion. Yet another sign that it was her, if it hadn't been obvious enough already. Her ears jerk upward at the question. Her way of signaling that yes, she was fine.]

[Then, a return poke with her nose. Inquiring the same thing.]

[ichoosefight]

I'll take that as a yes. [ It's almost like Steph can't stop talking. She tries to fill the silence. ]

Being an otter is totally fun. I just wish I wasn't so hungry all the time.

[alwaysontop]

[She's not that different from Faith, in that way - particularly the water and the fish. She likes to stand at the edge and bat at the fish.

When she notices Steph, though, she pauses quick enough, a faintly inquisitive noise emerging from her throat.]

[ichoosefight]

[ A panther is hard to miss, being a very large predator, but Steph has no clue who that might be. ]

Hello!

[alwaysontop]

Steph? [The panther is surprised, to say the least; she hadn't exactly expected Steph to be an otter.]

[ichoosefight]

Faith! Hiya. [ She turns over and flips a few more times under water before hopping up onto the shore. She could see a panther for Faith. And whether or not she could see it, the fact was that Faith's voice was coming from a panther's mouth. ]

[alwaysontop]

[Yeah; apparently it's a thing - who knew?]

You doing alright?

[ichoosefight]

I'm an otter. [ She turns a circle before diving back under the water and coming up on her back. ]

I'm awesome.
