THIS IS HOW IT ALL GOES DOWN TONIGHT

if terrible days could go anymore south, and the world could be any worse than it already was, it would be today. it was a saturday morning, and katya was at her mother's house. at least, her body was. her mother had just told her that her dad and sister had come to visit, all the way from moscow, and she refused to let them see her because she was supposed to be studying for her finals. katya had felt like the rods themselves had killed her, and she went to bed directly, calling it a sick day. now, she was in the brazen heat of the city of morpheus, allowing all the gold around to mock her with its glaring light and happiness. things had only gotten worse from there- she had nearly drowned in her own dream world, and after running away from the museum at top speed, she didn't know where to go. the park was usually littered with people, but somehow the gods had been merciful and today there were less dreamwalkers there. katya sat down, all the strength in her body focusing on trying not to burst into tears. she was a dreamwalker, and she was supposed to be fending off shades. she was a hero- but that didn't mean she could do it all alone and independent, that didn't mean she didn't want her dad to visit her, that didn't mean she didn't need any friends. she put her hands on her forehead, looking at the skirt of her school uniform she had not bothered changing out of. with a sudden start she felt like something was watching her, and her head poked up, sharp, but with eyes that were shimmering with wetness. was it a shade? she looked around, eyes landing on a shitzu in the far distance. a dog?

 pretty girl, you should be
smiling “ a girl reeked of sadness, she smelt it. baguette didn't know who this girl was or exactly where she was or why she was sad, but she knew she was sad! and sad wasn't good! people shouldn't be sad, that's what she learned from going to the dream world. people don't like to be sad! so baguette went to find the sad girl to make her not sad and make her happy. she would do that! and she would take her to her dream place where everyone was happy! so she'd be happy! or she could go to the girl's dream place where she might be happy, but baguette didn't know, because sometimes dream places weren't happy. but hers was! the girl was somewhere in the park. now she just had to listen for sadness and smell for sadness and see for sadness! there was a girl over there, was that her? the girl looked up. she looked sad. she also smelled sad. she kinda sounded sad, but the girl was very quiet, except for the crying-breathing that she was doing that humans did when they were really really sad. then, that was the girl! "bark! bark bark bark!" happy! time to be happy, so the girl can be happy! the tiny shitzu started yipping and barking as her stubby legs ran towards katya. "barkbarkbark! bark!" her tongue lolled out of her mouth because running made wind and wind was fun to stick your tongue out! maybe the girl should stick her tongue out in the wind too!

and then the shrill barking of a mad beast sort of shot through the relative calm of the park. there was a rushing blur of yellow fur and wagging tails, and the smear of a red tongue in the air. katya's eyes went wide with surprise, and all at once there was a decisive decision that she was most definitely a cat person. katya's legs got up on their own; lifting her off the bench, unfortunately at the same time wind seemed to kick up and she was forced to press down her skirt- she would not let the day get any worse. her preoccupation with the clothing piece had gotten her distracted enough so that the dog was almost directly in front of her- still making that sprint with its chubby legs. any other day at the russian would have found it cute, but not today. katya began running away, slightly terrified a dog was chasing her- she finally reached a huge hotdog stall and made a dash so that she was behind it- the stall serving as a boundary between her and the shitzu. the vendor looked at katya, highly amused- and katya fought of the forming blush. "why-- are you chasing...!" but she wondered- did animals even understand humans? was she making herself look like even more of a fool? she hated, hated today more than anything. if the dog turned right, the girl would go left, and vice versa, until finally she looked at the vendor. "can you please, a piece of meat for the dog?" maybe the dog was hungry? she didn't know: her mind was spinning, and the barking still made her ears ring. the vendor would attempt to toss a piece of meet away, so the dog would be distracted.

pretty girl, you should be
smiling “ oh no! the girl smelled like fear now! she didn't want the girl to smell like fear! she wanted her to smell like flowers and happy and smiles! now she's running! baguette can't help her if she keeps running! run after her! "bark bark bark! bark bark!" and so the blonde shitzu trailed after the poor girl, waggling it's tail and barking all the way home. oooh, she ran towards a meat stand! she learned what those were when she was a human. it was a, uh, uh, a bender! yeah, a bender! you give benders shiny paper and they give you meat! oh? the sad girl was talking! was she talking to the bender? was the bender her friend? friends always make you feel happy! the shitzu stopped barking to listen. she could understand humans now! so it was great! she listened to the human! the sad girl was asking the vendor to give her meat to make her go away. the vendor tossed the meat, but baguette didn't want to go away! she wasn't hungry, she wanted the girl to be happy! and she still didn't smell happy! baguette shook her head. humans do that when they say no! "bark bark!" she gave two barks. dogs do that when they say 'hey! look at me!' but then baguette forgot how to make crying girls feel better when being happy doesn't make them feel better. sometimes people smelled sad with them, and somehow they both become happy. maybe that was it! "hyuuu..." baguette winced, doing the sitting trick that her owner taught her to do. humans see that as sad, so maybe the girl will feel better if she's sad with her! what else do humans do? humans touch! they take their arms and wrap them around the other human! but she didn't have long arms right now, and she wanted to stay a dog! baguette got up from her seat and dashed around to the sad girl's feet. then she nuzzled her leg! that's like when dogs hug! so it'll be like hugging the human, too! and then, and then, humans ask things! so she'd sound like she's asking something! "...bark bark?" yeah! that works! baguette was so proud of herself! [ OOC ] Katya Lovelacelike you should never look so blue

katya's unsure of how to proceed when the dog ignores the tossed piece of meat. what ever it is, the dog seems to be trained well. most would have gone running off by instinct, but the shitzu in front of her seemed determined to tackle her...or something. the dog shook its head, and it felt suddenly human-like, which gave katya more to fear. the dog then barked at her, and she jumped, putting her hands away from the stall of the vendor, as though the dog was going to leap and bite her at any moment. "shoo! shoo!" she said,waving her hands frantically. to that the dog sat down and began whining, which did strike some semblance of pity in her heart- and in that brief moment the animal seemed to take advantage of her weakness and it walked towards her easily, brushing its fur against her legs- the yellow hairs lingering on her school socks. her heart was beating fast, and she was too scared to move, but eventually she gave up on that fear- her face was now clouded with pity, as she slowly moved away from the vendor. maybe the dog was lost and she resembled its previous owner. the thought that the dog was going out of its way just for her simply did not register in her mind. she crouched down, face to face with the dog, and her hand went to scratch it behind the ears. "are you lost? i'm not your owner, see. maybe you can find them elsewhere- were they in the park?" she said softly- trying to suppress her own feelings of anxiety and sorrow to look after the apparent stray, because that was simply what she did. although the scent of sadness, so to speak, still clung to her like rain clings to grey clouds; just waiting to spill. finally she couldn't take the dog's questioning eyes and its peering irises- her face wrinkled in pained frustration and suppressed emotions. "please just leave me alone, okay?" she whispered, the back of her mind telling her that she was probably crazy for taking 'talking to animals' this far.

pretty girl, you should be
smiling “ maybe she'd have to turn human. this human wasn't understanding her! she tried and tried to make her happy, but the human just thought baguette didn't know the human was sad! humans are weird; they find all sorts of reasons for something that's way worse than what it actually is! they do it all the time! each time, baguette shook her head. she wasn't lost! she wasn't looking for her owner! and she wasn't leaving this girl alone! finally fed up with not being able to comfort the girl without talking, baguette gave a sharp "bark!" and took a few steps back. it could be seen as the dog backing off, if it weren't for the phenomenon that happened next. there was a flash of light, and there stood a three-foot tall anthropomorphic version of the tiny shitzu, standing on two legs and clothed in a moderate green dress. she looked upon katya with a childish intensity, like how a child would stare at the chimney all night to find santa clause. "you're sad! i'm a dog! i can smell it! and, and, i don't like when people are sad!" she articulated. human speech was still weird to her, but she got along fairly well, if not a bit exclamatory in her style of talking. "i'm gonna make you happy and i'm not gonna leave you alone until you are! now hug me and tell me how you feel!"and with that, whether katya wanted it or not, baguette gave the warmest, tightest, most genuine hug she could with her stubby little arms. she was an active type of hugger, so there was a bit of swaying, and her paw-hand patted katya as if prompting her to let it all out. "it'll be okay! it'll all be okay!"[ OOC ] Katya Lovelacelike you should never look so blue
