Ballerina - July 30, 2012

She was there waiting for her as she passed the fish shop. There in the tank right by the door was a most beautiful spotted jellyfish. Softly floating in a tank by herself, never the less, she was full of grace and beauty shown off all the more for her solitary lifestyle. Tsukimi immediately fell in love with the little jelly.

She began stopping by on the way back from the station, from the grocery store, anywhere that had her go anywhere near the shop. Soon, it wasn't just when she was in the neighborhood she was actively seeking out the jellyfish. Tsukimi would slip out in the middle of the night and watch her for hours. Anytime she felt stressed or lonely she would go watch the slow graceful twirlings of her newest friend.

Takokagure reminded her of a dancer, one of the ones from recordings from New York City. What was the one she had watched last week? Bat-breaker, Salt-cracker? Th one with the little girl and the prince and the mouse king. The girl had been dressed in a flowing white nightgown that looked just like the Mastigias Papua's soft tendrils. What was her name again?

Tsukimi smiled at her new friend. They were going to be good friends, weren't they Clara?
