If Saten and Uiharu had been asked how they felt when the strange dust had covered them, they would have had a hard time explaining it. There was a feeling of tension, like something could happen at any time, like something had to happen soon. At the same time there was a tingling both were feeling, like a light amount of electricity was flowering over them. Had they not felt like there was a strange pressure upon them, it may have even been slightly pleasant.
Both of the girls were not moving at all, waiting for something to happen, for one of them to do something. And each of them felt like they had to do something soon.
Finally Saten Ruiko couldn't stand the whole thing any longer and did what she often did when she didn't know what to do.
She flipped Uiharu's skirt with a single quick motion of her hand.
"Kyaaah!" The smaller girl screamed in surprise before she blushed red as a streetlight and started to push her skirt back down.
"Wha... uuuuu, Saten this isn't the right time for such things. No better yet, don't do that at all!" Uiharu pouted at Saten and both seemed to lose a great deal of their tension and started breathing again. Only then did they notice that they had been holding their breath for a while.
"Eh, it just came over me, you know... Pink huh?" Uiharu eeped and gave the other girl a small punch on her arm and a glare. Saten in return looked somewhat apologetic of her actions.
The two girls turned back to the small item that Saten had brought. The dust was still all over the place, but the strange tension that seemed to have come from it had vanished. There was also still a bit of dust inside the machine, but otherwise there was nothing that would make it look functional.
"Uhh, I don't think I can do much with this. I will send this stuff to analysis, but I am not really that good with chemicals or whatever this stuff is." Uiharu grumbled and tried to push the dust off her uniform, but it seemed to be almost glued to her clothes and also her skin.
Saten looked herself over, noting that the dust didn't seem to glitter as strongly as before. "Do you think it is some kind of prank item, or something Kiyama put out as a trap for people looking for the Level Upper?"
Uiharu paused in her attempts of self-cleaning. "I don't know. It doesn’t seem to be poisonous, at least not something that starts working right away. Still, if you start feeling bad, give a call okay."
Then she turned back, scrubbed at her arm and then sighed, seemingly giving up her attempts at getting the stuff off herself.
Then the two exchanged a look and both started to giggle and then laugh loudly.
"Who would have thought that we would end up like this? We look like the Vampires in that western novel." Saten said so between bouts of laughter, which only started a new round of giggles.
"Hihihi... yeah you are right, this whole thing was silly."
With another short exchange of giggles, the two girls started to try cleaning up the room. As if the cleansing agents of Academy City would ever fail against some glittering dust!
