[ the kitten glances at you, suddenly remembering that he has Spectators. his hands are still cupping the tumbleweed's face. ]

What?

Re: 2/2

[finalbows]

Oh, no, please. Don't stop on my account. Do carry on.

_{[ does a little "shoo, shoo" wave at them. ]}

[catposting]

[ grumbling ]

Stop thinking weird things.

[ he has no idea what you're thinking. it's just your Vibes. ]

[finalbows]

Sorry, kitty cat. Not for the moons and stars can I fulfill that request.


Anyway, chop chop, get back on it, unless you want ME to handle this interrogation after all~? _{[ clasps his hands together. They visibly run with sparks of crackling blue electricity. ]}

It's fake!

2/4

[ the kitten's attention snaps back to the tumbleweed. vines tighten around his neck, though not enough to block his airways. a threat, nothing more. ]

Come again?

[catposting]

Th-the map. It's a fake. That's why Sir Sheep could steal it so easily. I... I was always meant to follow you guys. B-buttheynevertoldmethatIdrunintotheaceofPine.

[ he twitches, shoulders quivering, but looks the kitten directly in the eye. ]

... I'll take you Blossom.

[catposting]

... Huh.

[ keeps his gaze trained on the tumbleweed. staring contest it is. ]

What do you think, Rosebell?

Re: 4/4

They already understand the temperament of their plant, especially if he flips THIS easy. It's going to be a trap no matter how we approach, which means~. We can make good USE of him to poke some of those mechanisms into springing.

Hey, tumbleweed. How valuable is your life? Not what you think it is to me or my friend, but to your boss.

[catposting]

They- ... they promised to take me to the Angel, if I obeyed orders and stayed out of trouble. But then... why would they-- the Ace...

[finalbows]

So I'm hearing "not very?"

1/2

[catposting]

I don't know!

[ squeezes his eyes shut, struggling against his bonds. it's hopeless. the ace is too strong. ]

I don't even know who my boss is!

[catposting]

[ you feel the staff in your hand

disappear.

it's a shame that Angie hasn't yet witnessed him splice-Shift.

a startled bleat sounds out behind you as it reappears out of thin air and bonks Sheep Fiend on the head.

[finalbows]

Hey! Her staff is OFF-LIMITS!

_{[ gold clouds, roiling in around them. the scent of ozone in the air. ]}

[catposting]

Huh? 'Her'?

[ startled_confused_kitten.mp4.



Sheep Fiend bleats again as he catches the staff, unperturbed. the tumbleweed continues wriggling ]

[finalbows]

<sub>[ rushes to Sheep Fiend to snatch the staff back :(


then whirls back around to glare at the weed. ]</sub>

you really think i need a twig like this to deal with the likes of you???

<sub>[ golden clouds. darkness leeching away until there's not a speck of floor. thunder growing nearer and nearer.

it feels terrible, like being a floor over your limit, in here. ]</sub>

[ the kitten wraps his tail around your wrist. ]

Wait, Rosebell—!

[catposting]

Youcanthurtmeyouneedmetonavigate!

[finalbows]

I can't KILL you, I need you to navigate, work on your grammar and vocabulary. You will find there is an ocean of creativity that can be fit between alive, and...

_{[ but
the tail on the wrist stays him. ]}

[ good monkey. ]

How much of a problem is that teleport skill, do you think?

[catposting]

It won't be a problem, I swear!

[ let him goooooo ]

[finalbows]

I don't trust it. But! If he were in complete control, he wouldn't be here still. How aboutttt...

You've still got that honeysuckle powder of yours, yes? I have a fun idea. It'll be like a blood squib in a staged duel, but specifically for ruining his chances of getting too far the moment he tries to bolt.

There's a high chance it could off the moment something's going terribly wrong. So you'll want to be very careful to keep to your word and make sure everything goes smooth~ly, hn?

[catposting]

...

It's not a bad idea. But it'll be troublesome if he collapses from energy drain while we're making an escape. If the Workshop reclaims him while he's in that state, then interrogates him...

[ the tightening of his tail around your wrist betrays his discomfort ]

Well. There's something else that we can try. To guarantee his loyalty.

[finalbows]

_{[ gets a pout on his face. spoilsport. ]}

Mn?

[catposting]

[ you're the one acting like a puppy!

he strokes the tumbleweed's chin. ]

Judging by everything so far... you haven't used that yet, have you? Your binding.
