Pier and Offloading/Loading Docks

The slight soishing of the water, the bubblling and the churning, as it stirred against the pier and wet boathouse of the campus docks was only broken by the sound of buoy bells.

That is, until a liquid hiss from the water foamed it up a little, as a scything bright cyan blue fin slowly approached the pier to swim alongside it towards the ramp that lead into the boathouse.



The brilliant, and immense Bio-Electric Great White Shark began to curiously swim too and fro in the water. Her immense 45 foot frame made the waters around her appear almost too shallow for her size. She kept swimming two and fro in the water, seemingly waiting, or thinking of something.

'I must find Friend... Smell danger in this place. No place for human people...' she thought, agitated, which was signified by the lowering of her pectorals, and her dorsal shuddering in the water, which shook all the various glowing stalks around her body. 'Think, what did friend kamu say how to do this?' she asked herself, trying to visualize the memory of Dr.Kamura on one of the last days she saw her, the day she gave her a large dose of some glowing blue liquid.




"Now remember Skye, try to visualise yourself as a human being, like me. Focus on the shape and form of yourself as a human when you use your teleportation ability, and you're atoms and molecules will reassemble themselves based on your mental command. That way, you can walk on land and among people like us. Or you can choose to reassemble yourself in any shape you can think of that can function organically. You should be able to reverse the change back to your original form very easily just by focusing on the memories and instincts of yourself as you are now. it all comes down to memory and focus." The memory of the explanation came to her, but she never did try it. She was happy and content with her friends from the aquatic area. She never needed legs before.

But now, she needed them.

Closing her eyes, Skybolt began to focus. Knowing what she needed to do to activate her teleportation, but rearranging what she would reform as? That took focus and concentration. Scrunching her eyes, she thought and concentrated hard, her electrical energies building to a crescendo. Suddenly, her eyes and her maw opened, and with a burst of energy, she launched out of the water in a flash of light.




When the bubble of energy finally burst over the dock, a much smaller being landed on the wooden decking, landing hard on her side with a thud and a sudden exhale of surprised air as she knocked the air out of herself with that fall.

The very much human woman was tall, and athletically build, with brilliant long cyan blue hair that draped over her shoulders and front like a curtain, but was short at the back.

nekkid:

She shuddered in the cold night air, and struggled to breathe, and move. Skybolt had never breathed air before, nor walked on two legs like a biped. The world was strange to her. Her sense of smell and sight were just as sharp, and her auditory senses worked clearly, but her normal electroreceptors and vibration senses were not there. The only electrical signals she could detect were through the use of her powers rather than her sensory organs. To her, it was almost like being half blind, and half deaf. However, her tactile senses were now much more acute. She could feel the damp wood of the dock beneath her body much more accurately than before.

She forced herself to draw in an instinctive deep breath. And that opened her eyes. She could taste and smell again... Everything. The musky smell of wet wood. The fresh water she just left, the oxidized air she had recently electrocuted in her transformation, she could smell various chemicals from the boats, such as gasoline and motor grease. But it was the scents that traveled from farther away that caught her attention. The smell of.... rotting meat, and burnt ashes.

Her hand caressed the wood of the dock panels for a few moments, reveling in the contact. she had never been able to feel things in this way before, only the inside of her mouth had this kind of sensitivity when she was a shark.

However, experimenting with her new form and it's functions would have to wait. her friend was still in trouble.

Skybolt, tried to push herself up with her hands onto her feet for the first time, trying to stand up, just as she saw her friends do. But she fell over, as the awkward clumsiness of her new form set in. It wouldn't obey her?  She looked down at her legs and feet to check if she had formed them correctly. And she had. They were perfectly normal looking human legs and feet. So, why can't I get them to move right? Why can't I stand up?' she asked herself, and kept trying. For a few minutes, all she could do was drag herself with her arms for a moment using the grooves of the wooden planking and her own unnatural strength to move herself about. But soon, she managed to get her knees underneath herself, and started to crawl. Her limbs were shaking and unsteady, but slowly, Skybolt began to learn and acclimate more and more to the nuances of how a human form worked. Like an infant learning to take it's first steps, she slowly managed to reach for the stairway's handrails, and pulled herself upright into finally, a standing position.

'Gotta.... keep going...' she thought to herself, and using the stairs hand rails, she slowly made her ascent to the administration building proper.

(OOC: From here)

Skye busted through the fencing that kept the elevator passage separated from the docks, scattering wooden cargo boxes, baskets, and fishing nets all over the decking of the lower pier, as she ran full sprint toward the deep water, before she jumped, and dove into the black water, her form flashing as she transformed back into her base Shark form, and disappeared beneath the inky waves.
