[The camera clicks on into a semi-dark bedroom. The early morning sun shines weakly through curtains and blinds to show a bed, covers all askew. An alarm goes off and the covers move as whoever is underneath them starts to slide out of bed...

...and falls to the floor with a surprised bark.

From the far edge of the bed, the head of adog and blinks a few times. A paw is clumsily set on top of the covers and he looks at it, eyes wide.

With the alarm still going off in the distance, you can just hear a soft whine as the dog looks at his paw again, and then over to the alarm clock.

It's going to be a very long day.]

[ooc: We're just going to assume that all three of the dog icons are of the same dog, mmmkay? They're close matches but not perfect. Today Cinna is an Italian Greyhound which is like a "toy" version of a normal greyhound. He's about 20 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs about 18lbs.

Apartment-mates can probably hear the alarm (if they're not cursed themselves) and action for them is welcome. Heck, if anyone wants to action something out he will be walking around the City later in the day. Just because he's a dog doesn't mean he can't go check on construction at the shop. Anyone else will have to be video.

Also, I'll tag when I get back this afternoon, I just wanted to get this up now.]

[Oh, hello, Finnick. Have a happy... yap? And another growl. You can talk. Cinna's pretty sure he's on the short end of this particular stick.]

You know, it figures you'd be out of commission the one day when I really need your styling expertise.

[He shakes his head, running his hand through his rather lustrous shoulder-length hair--and frowns when it takes longer than usual to free his fingers from the locks. He's still adjusting to the altered body, evidently, even if his habits have stayed the same.]

Has anybody come to your rescue yet?

[He nods with another short bark. Peeta's been in and has helped, although how to communicate that is another issue. He whines a little and tosses his head up in what he hopes was a questioning gesture.

Do you need help?]

I'm going to take that as a yes. One for yes, two for no, right?

[Sigh.]

The clothes Johanna left behind are too small for me, and I'm betting Katniss's are, too. Any chance you've got something over there that might fit me for a day? I can still get into my usual stuff, but the fit is pretty bad.

[One bark for yes.

His head cocks to the side as he considers. He has some mending and alterations that he's brought home for the weekend. Perhaps there's a skirt...?

He gives another single bark. But Finnick's going to have to come over and pick it up.]

Let's just hope it really is only a day. This is one alteration I really don't want to keep.

[It's still pretty early. Hopefully the building will be relatively quiet, and he won't be spotted as he makes his perilous journey...across the hall.]

I'll head over in a minute. Is your door open?

[He gives a single bark, Peeta should have left it open. There should also be ties on the door-handles so Cinna can get in and out.]

[And as promised, after a few minutes pass, Cinna's front door swings open to allow a woman with bronze hair and familiar sea-green eyes inside. She's not moving with the easy grace that generally characterizes Finnick's actions, and she looks a little haphazard in a pair of sweatpants bunched tight around the waist and a button-down shirt that's obviously tailored for a man, which she is decidedly not.

Well, on the surface, at least.]


It's me, don't panic.

[Cinna comes out of the bedroom, his network device gingerly in his teeth. Setting it down, he heads over to Finnick, sniffing at the man's... woman's... whatever - the hand. He's getting used to this scent thing, especially since his vision is... so different from what he's used to.

He gives a chuffing, huffing sound and jumps back, heading to a large-ish canvas bag near the couch. The clothes are inside.]

Hi. [As he lets Cinna inspect his new shape and scent a minute before offering him a quick scratch behind the ears himself. It's not meant as anything demeaning, just an absent gesture in response to his greeting.] Nice ears. Looks good on you.

[Spotting the bag--and Cinna's attempt at directing his attention to it--he heads over and opens it, tugging a little on the waistband of his sweatpants as he moves across the room.]

These are for me?

[Cinna snaps at the pat, he is not a dog Finnick, however he looks.

But he follows to the bag of repair and alteration work, giving a single bark to the affirmative. If there's anything in there that fits, finnick's welcome to it.]

Thanks. I'll make sure to bring them back in one piece.

[He sifts through the clothes, holding them up to his foreign new body and trying to gauge the fit by sight. Some of them obviously won't do, but there are a few that show promise. Downside? No trousers. The only thing that looks like it's going to work is a gray skirt.]

Yes or no, this and this go together?

[Cinna... doesn't know how to answer that. In terms of fabrick and shape, they look fine, but he's having problems with color. Trying to remember what he'd tossed in there the day before he gives a tentative bark yes.]

[Ah, yes. Just another fun fact of the animal kingdom that Finnick has almost certainly overlooked at the moment.]

I'll have to figure out shoes and stuff on my own, I guess. But these'll work for the time being, thanks.

[Cinna wags his tail a little and with a short bark, motions to his bedroom with his nose. Finnick can change in there if he likes.]

Once I'm set to go, do you need anything? I can go out with you if you think a dog walking himself will attract too much attention.

[Nodding his recognition, he retrieves the clothes and sets off for Cinna's room, where he sets about changing clothes with ease. It's not as though he doesn't have plenty of experience with how women's clothes work, after all. It's just the first time he's happened to be the one wearing them himself.]

[Cinna barks twice, he'll be fine. He figures that dogs walking themselves are the least strangest things the citizens of the City will see. He wishes he could tell Finnick that he's welcome to go to storage unit and poke around for something to borrow, but... oh well.]

[After a few minutes, he steps back out into the main room, adjusting the shirt over the unfamiliar curves of his chest and twisting a little to make sure his skirt is on straight as he comes back into view, his old clothes in a wad under one arm.]

The fit's a lot better, at least. And I've worn worse than a skirt like this, anyway.

[Cinna makes the strange chuckling noise he's managed and his tail wags harder. Yes, Cinna's seen Finnick in much, much worse. He gets up and jogs a quick circle around him, looking at the full view.]

[Never one to disappoint, Finnick tosses his old clothes in the direction of the couch and strikes a pose, though it does take him a hint of adjusting his stance before he positions himself to his body's full effect.]

Good?

[Look, he's not about to try a curling iron without an experienced team of stylists at hand. He'll just have to make the best of it at the moment. And he glances down at himself, admiring the effect for himself.]

Wow, my hips look amazing.

[Yeah, Cinna has better things to do than admire Finnick's new hips. Like head into the kitchen and have a drink from the bowl Peeta had left out.]
