[ Angel Devil. ] [ chatcube, or action. ] [ if you're visiting the rose barn, look for the door with the creepy bat-and-angel-wing sigil on it. Knock first! Or get zapped. ]
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. ]
[ 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. ]
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. ]
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.
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...
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?
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.
[ the kitten grins, face showing none of his disgust. his tail remains tightly coiled. finally, he leans back, taking the tumbleweed's hand. the vines loosen, though the fur tail remains as is. he places the tumbleweed's hand on his left arm, on top of the red cuff. ]
Then you know what to do. If you're telling the truth, then this won't be a problem for you, right? If you quietly do as told, it never will be~
