Hi everyone! I’ve decided that it would be best to add dolphin to my multi muse just to keep everyone together. Well most of my muses together. If you want to follow me over there and continue interacting with dolphin you’re more than welcome to!

lcbotomy‌ : lobo

He watched her movements. Listened to her words…oh wait no he didn’t. But he could still feel like he was understanding what she was saying pretty well. He got the jist of the whole thing pretty quickly. No one wanted to be standing here all day and try and play charades with a pretty water girl…well okay mostly everyone would want that but whatever. He nodded. “Not actually a dolphin. I getcha.”

“Yer name is Dolphin.” He finally said with a nod.

“My name is Lobo. Can’t remember if I told ya that or not. I love dolphins though so I can see why you’d name yerself after them.” he paused and brightened up. “Can you…speak dolphin? Speak to them?” Cause he could!

she smiled brightly when he figured out what she meant. yes she was named dolphin. she hated how difficult it was to communicate with most people, it could be really frustrating for the both of them... and confusing, but it felt really good once they finally understood what she was saying.

lobo... it didn’t seem so scary anymore, especially now she knew his name. she nodded, looking up at him. yes, she could talk to them...well in a way. she could communicate with them, using ultrasound waves in the water. that was kind of like talking. right?

spdernoir‌ : spider

   when he saw the  figure that  stepped out  from  behind the crates,   he realized the reason  why  his spider - sense hadn’t alerted  him  to nearby  danger:   it was  just  what looked like a  defenseless young  girl,  barefoot     and in an  outfit  that  frankly  looked  absolutely  freezing.     immediately,  noir’s hand came  off the  pistol  that he had  been  touching  cautiously,   anything  intimidating about his stature  melting  off of him  in the  blink of an  eye.   so strange,   how he could  take on  &  discard the  entity  of the  spider  within moments  :    he was a  terror  to some,   and  a   good friend  to others.  

 “ it’s okay.    it’s okay.     i’m not going to hurt you. “    noir  assured her  as loud as he could without  drawing  attention to  himself  from the  slightly  unsavory  crowd  he knew was nearby.    plans for this  drug bust  slightly derailed,     he raised his hands slightly,   as if in surrender  –   unsure  if she  could  hear him  or  not judging by the  way  she watched him  with wide eyes,   not saying  anything.    

 “ are you cold?   lost?   do you need some help? “   he was asking the young woman,  taking cautious steps  toward  her,   hands not leaving their  place  raised  so that she could  see he wasn’t trying to  pull anything.    head  tilted to the side a  little,    he couldn’t help but ask,   just in case:     “ can you hear me   –    or speak? “ 

dolphin stayed where she was as he came closer to her, her shoulders relaxing somewhat. she wasn’t so nervous about him as she had originally been, but she was still alert, she couldn’t help being that way with strangers... especially ones from the surface world.

she slowly shook her head in reply, no she wasn’t cold, nor lost, and she didn’t need help, at least not at that moment, not anymore. 

taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes for a moment, just a second or two. her brows furrowed together slightly as she concentrated. ❝ dol....dol... ❞ dolphin sighed to herself, noticeably frustrated. she wasn’t physically unable to speak... she had just been on her own throughout most of her life and never learnt. there was probably some psychological reason behind why it was so hard for her now, but dolphin didn’t know about any of that, all she knew was she couldn’t talk like everyone else.  ❝ i.... dol....fin....dol-fin. ❞

ANIMAL FAMILIAR

RED PANDA

despite its name, the red panda is not related to the more commonly known giant panda. these beautiful furred animals are mostly known for their red, raccoon-like patterns. though they are adaptable, their environment is threatened constantly by human activities. just like that, you are a very creative and unique individual, who is a quick learner and picks up on things rather quickly. however, you may be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, in fear that the community or people around you could tear your ideas away.

a red panda familiar inspires their master with creative thoughts and tries to ward off chaos in the environment around them.

this familiar represents

creativity

quick learners

adaptability

shyness

reluctance of others

artistic/poetic individuals

tundrapunch‌ : korra

 Korra leans curiously, watching for the reveal in her hands and then lights up at the sight of the sand dollars. “Oh!” she says, plucking one from the other’s hand, too excited to ask permission first. It’s not like she hasn’t seen these before, but not ones as nice as this. 

“These are cool, I found some before. But you can’t exchange them for other currencies or anything. I’m still not sure what they can buy.”

dolphin grinned, glad she liked them! she mused for a moment about her comment. it was true, they weren’t real dollars, you couldn’t buy or exchange them for anything. but dolphin’s eyes soon lit up with an idea! she held one to her upper chest, suggesting making a necklace out of one. and then held one to each of her earlobes-- and matching earrings. they were a bit too big for a ring...but maybe a bracelet?

lcbotomy‌ : czarnian??

Lobo raised an eyebrow. “Uhhh…you feelin’ alright, lady? Ya look like ya just seen a ghost!” He smirked a tiny bit. “I get that it’s not every day ya see a livin’ Czarnian but come on now! I ain’t gonna bite!” He waved a hand out. He was in a pretty mellow mood so he wasn’t gonna lash out at anyone. 

“Okay, not a mermaid. That would explain the legs. Also, I’m guessin’ yer a mute? Damn, even if ya ain’t a mermaid dis sure is like that one movie.” He chuckled a bit to himself. 

He looked where she was pointing. He could still hear the dolphins and see the very tips of their snouts as they peeked from the water. Lobo’s eyes shifted back to the woman. “So…yer sayin’ yer a dolphin?? Honey, I don’t wanna be that guy but…ya don’t exactly look like one.” He scratched his head.

 “Are you a dolphin in a human body?” He wasn’t even sure if she could understand everything he said. 

dol had no idea what movie he was talking about, she hadn’t even seen a movie before.. or well, as far as she could remember at least. and while he had said he wasn’t going to hurt her, she was still rather apprehensive of him, albeit slightly frustrated. it was so much easier being mute, when you didn’t have to talk to anyone.

she shook her head quickly, no not a dolphin in a human body! oh jeez, how was she going to explain this? she would write it down for him, except...she didn’t actually know how to write either. 

dolphin took a deep breath, pointing to herself. how that was going to help, she didn’t know, but maybe he’d just guess. in her head her name just went round and round. dolphin. dolphin, dolphin, dolphin, i am dolphin!
