Who Needs Owners? [Private RP; Liten and Glados]

[GLaDOS]

Bolt and Mittens had been living owner free for about 6 months now. After discovering the hard truth about his powers, owner, and almost entire life… it was taking time to adjust. This was a reality where things didn’t fall into place, where he didn’t figure out his owner, Penny, hadn’t replaced him. It was a reality where Mittens still felt bitter about humans and being owned as a pet. There wasn’t a happy ending, however, things were far from miserable.

Things were nice in their piece of paradise. Their little Nevada suburban junkyard was a perfect home; nearby was a secure dumpster with plenty of food, a easily breachable mom and pop pet shop for treats, and a sweet little cardboard home Mittens managed to put together.

There were no other animals, either, part from some pigeons and other birds, as well as some mice to hunt. No dogs or cats, since things seemed so far apart where they were living. Even better; no humans, at least during the night. Other then at the nearby stripmall where the shops mentioned were, this was an abandoned junkyard. Rhino, their gerbil friend, parted ways with all the news about a super-powerless Bolt who gave up on finding his owner. Just Mittens and Bolt against the world.

6 months is a long time, and problems did arise. There are certain luxuries to being an owned pet; fresh water, good food, and humans to tend to your every need. Even during Mittens’ time in New York, she had a system of getting sustainable food. Sure she was near starving, but the food she had now was all junk. The both of them only ate from dumpsters, full of human food. There’s a reason vets say pets shouldn’t get table scraps.

It started with wetting in their sleep. The water they drank was from a leaking pipe by the junkyard, that formed a puddle that sat in the hot sun and surely harvested some bacteria. Their bladders felt weaker and they realized they had to go more often. Worst of all was the belly aches, which you could imagine what they caused to happen… and it was rarely throwing up.

Bolt found Mittens solution… Questionable… but most of all extremely embarrassing. As he laid on his back like a dead bug, Mittens was finishing diapering him up with a fiery red blush. That pet shop had everything, yes everything, including diapers for both him and Mittens. It was evening now, so Bolt hoped this was only a night-time solution.

“Mittens… I uh… Know this is embarrassing…” He sighed as his own white muzzle had a blush, being put in such attire as well as being completely exposed to her “But this is for the better. Only for the night. I mean… during the day I can lift my leg and go whenever, but I don’t like waking up in a puddle. I’m sure you don’t either. We’re both wearing them so… No judging right? It’s only us….”

Bolt waited for Mittens to finish taping him up, which was a little difficult, but easy compared to other things she had done. Afterwards Bolt would proceed to diaper her up. The diapers were thick, puffy like clouds, and made for large pups in Bolt’s case.

[Liten]

The solution was questionable at best, but what else was there to do? It wasn't as if they could go on like they were, especially if they ever wanted to get a good nights sleep, or wake up without smelling like each others urine. Not to mention it was hard to keep a place together when you couldn't stand the smell of it. Of course going through the process was no less embarrassing for Mittens than it was for Bolt, especially when she was down on her back, getting the thick garment strapped up between her legs. For Bolt these diapers were somewhat large, though for Mittens it was overly. The material ruffled against her fur and it was just several kinds of hard to get used to. But it would likely beat waking up with wet fur.

"Yeah yeah, no judging. It's not the best thing, but I can agree it's better than the alternative. We just have to keep a positive attitude about things you know, it'll turn back around for us, it's just a bit of a low patch is all." Mittens went on.

[GLaDOS]

Bolt smiled awkwardly "Yeah I mean... Guess we can sleep in the same bed again. Styrophome was a nice touch, but it doesn't hold heat very well. Funny how it can go from so hot to so cold... I was so used to my trailer in the studio being just right"

As Bolt strapped Mittens up, he struggled a little. Not because he wasn't able to do it, but because he could tell Mittens didn't like being in this vulnerable of a position. Her belly looked so soft, and it was no wonder that humans couldn't resist petting her belly. She was also exposed, as he was, and it made Bolt nervous. His blush didn't go away, and he was having trouble containing himself. 'She's a cat, Bolt! She's a cat!' He'd have to remind himself.

His own diaper crinkled behind him as he finished strapping Mittens up and standing up. He would get much more used to it, since as a actor, he was used to having the studio put things on him. One point in show history he even had to wear a costume, back in the show's pilot days. That was fun. Mittens, a nimble cat, would surely have a more difficult time.

"H-how do I look?" Bolt asked with his ears down

[Liten]

Mittens didn't seem overtly embarrassed by the situation at paw.

"That's just how the world works Bolt, it gets colder sometimes, though this isn't that bad at all. Back where we started it would have been much colder than it is right now." she stated.

Mittens was quick to flip herself back up and over onto her paws after the garment was wrapped onto her, though she wasn't exactly pleased with the results. Given the size of the diaper her hind legs were spread out quite more than she'd have preferred. Saking each of her hind legs in turn, trying to get them used to the padding that would be brushing up against them for the rest of the night. Looking over to Bolt it was obvious the dog was distressed somewhat, sighing as she then said.

"You look fine Bolt. It's not like we'll be wearing these all the time anyway so what does it matter how they look? They're just here to serve their purpose, nothing more."

Mittens walked over towards him, rubbing up against his side. Her diaper crinkled lightly with every step she took, another annoyance to deal with.

"Best not to worry about it if we don't gotta, let's just head on back alright." Mittens continues to reassure him.

[GLaDOS]

"Good thing we seem to be the only ones around...." Bolt said as he looked left and right "They look fine on you... Cute even" He then said, wondering how she'd reply.

Bolt started walking, with a crinkle in each step. His legs were also pushed apart, and when he tried wagging his tail there was also crinkling. They were behind the stores now, the junkyard was two hundred or so yards away, across a empty lot that split the stripmall and the junkyard. The sun was starting to get lower in the sky, and thing quickly did cool down compared to the heat through the rest of the day. This was the time of day Mittens and Bolt would just talk and relax... awhile away before they'd actually lay down.

Bolt hadn't told Mittens about how small his bladder was starting to feel, he really hoped he wouldn't need to pee before bed "I go from a super dog to a pup who wets himself at night. How about that? My life really did a complete turn around"

[Liten]

"Well that's the point, wouldn't be easy to do this if there was a lot of people around, or anyone for that matter." Mittens said. "Well it doesn't matter how good they look, just that they serve their purpose, but I suppose if you think it's fine then at least that's not an issue." she continued as they went.

The constant crinkling sound was always apparent in her ears, whenever she shifted her hind paws, it was like a constant motion of sound. Though when her tail swayed it didn't cause as much noise as when Bolt shook his tail. Since it was getting close to sun down Mittens wanted to get back as quickly as possible, wanting to get themselves huddled together before they lost out on saving some heat.

"Well Bolt, what kind of life was that anyway? I mean, they just lied, and lied, and then poof, no more to say. If they had even treated you like a normal dog you might have been better prepared for when they decided they didn't want you anymore. But you don't need them, we've been doing fine this long, and we'll keep doing fine, just a minor setback is what this is." Mittens said as she walked past Bolt and in front of him, to make it seem like she was more leading and knew what she was talking about, though walking in front of Bolt also showed off her padded posterior to him, and her rear end seemed to sway back and forth more noticeably with the padding covering it.

[GLaDOS]

Bolt sighed, again he was finding himself mesmerized by Mittens swinging her hips back and fourth in her diaper. Even in something so thick and crinkly she still had her cat-like finesse compared to Bolt's more clumsy movement in his own garment. The nice thing was he didn't have to contain himself in a diaper, and for the first time in awhile he let himself get excited. He started staring, but then had to look away. Again he had to remind himself that Mittens was a cat and he was a dog. He always hated cats, despised them because of what his acting career shoved into his head about them being the evil henchmen of some villain. So far everything he learned there was the complete opposite in the real world... such as cats actually not being that bad.

As they walked through the whole in the fence, the puddle they always drank from was full of water. Bolt took a couple sips, then raised his leg as if he was about to pee "I'm going to just go straight into this nice little puddle...!" Bolt said playfully as he wagged his tail and his diaper crinkled. He lowered his leg "Oh wait..." he chuckled

[Liten]

Mittens hadn't stopped to take a drink, not really being thirsty at the moment anyway, though as she walked by it she noticed after a few moments Bolt was no longer following behind her/ When she turned around to see Bolt attempting to urinate she shook her head and rolled her eyes at him.

"Try not to pee in the diaper before you go to bed Bolt, it kind of defeats the purpose." she stated as she waited for the dog to catch back up to her.

In the meantime Mittens was thinking about their new garments, it didn't take a scientist to figure out that the diapers would do more than just keep them dry, even now she could feel the area that was wrapped within the diaper was significantly warmer than the rest of her, the diapers seemed to do a good job of keeping heat inside them, so it might work to wear them at night simply for the added heat.

[GLaDOS]

Bolt chuckled "Yeah, I know... Jusr playing" he said.

Eventually he got to their cardboard shelter and opened the 'door' to it. He plopped down on the bed in his garment and it let out a loud crinkle. He let out a deep sigh. Bolt also noticed how warm the diaper was wrapped around him, and it felt good, like it was a blanket.

"Hey Mittens...." Bolt asked as he wagged his tail "Can you do that thing where you scratch the back of my ears with your paws? I like that..."

[Liten]

Mittens went inside the shelter and curled up next to Bolt, her own diaper crinkling as she did. As much as she didn't like it against her fur, it was somewhat comfy. She smiled at Bolt as he asked that.

"Alright." she stated as she took her paw, letting her claws out a little she gently scratched behind Bolt's ears.

The dog was so immature at times, he was practically just a big softie for her to mold how she wanted all the time pretty much.
