CIRRUS NETWORK

[The Showmaster leads you through the dark stage and you find yourself entering something that looks like a very nice and expensive classroom.

Each desk is spacious with drawers that you will conveniently find any important item that had been on your person or that you feel like you would need here. Each chair is cushy and swivels.

Sitting on top of the teacher's desk is a young girl, older teen / younger adult in age at most, hair that looks like mint cotton candy that probably reaches down to her ankles. She has a knee drawn up to her body, resting her chin on top as she scours the room of who arrived . . .

And then she looks at you all with the biggest smug grin plastered on her face. You'll notice that her purple eyes shifts when she makes the scowl, it goes from a solid purple to a purple mixed in with this symbol in green also.]

Ah, Cirrus, still mad that you can't take our stories, huh? Even though we're all gone now, you still can't leave us alone.

[...]

It does make a difference because every time you do this, the Family will trust you less to follow the brief if the situation seems in any way high stakes.

That is how it works, isn't it.

I’m not mad, just disappointed. Pick your moments better.

Eeeeh.

[takes hold of the tip of his tail and gives it a threatening lil tug]

[excuse you??]

Are you fussed?

[makes it sound as much like a lie as possible]

No.

[smiles at him

his tail wiggles a bit in his grasp]

[brings Booker’s tail up to his face and opens his mouth while making direct eye contact]

[oh no you don't, yanks with his tail. it's pretty strong, can you hold onto it Vincent]

[yes actually he is also pretty strong

he does let himself get yanked stumbling forward with it tho]

[shit uh

shoving a hand up under Vincent's jaw pushing hard on his neck, his nails are pointy. this is to prevent biting. his other hand he grabs for the hand grabbing his tail]

Asshole.

[wheezes slightly. does not especially try to fight him but does not let his tail go either]

Takes one to know one.

[his voice is soft and nonaggressive]

Wow, witty.

[but he feels somewhat secure as long as he has his hand in place so Vincent can't bite him.

his tail is also whipping back and forth, trying to work it's way free]

Considering how much this doesn't make a difference you seem a little hung up on it.

[nope holds on, unfortunately for Booker he does not skip arm day]

That’s just going to have to be a thing you factor in in the future, isn’t it?

...here's something for me to factor into the future.

[tail will not give up wiggling

also leans up close enough so only Vincent can hear him]

If you felt it was a 'better time' to do whatever you think is for the best, would you put that aside and follow the group decision?

[in a sweet low murmur, almost fully bedroom voice]

If I did that, I would follow my own point of irritation and pick my moment better than you.

So in short, you'd do the same. You just don't think I gained enough.

Correct. At least think bigger before you put us all on alert.

Noted.

[pinches his claws where he's holding Vincent under the jaw until he draws a faint bit of blood]

I can't kiss you right now so just let my damned tail go.

[laughs against Booker’s hand in a way that stays deep in his throat

and lets the tail slide through his fingers at last]

[hot, awful, flushes but also lets him go and backs out of biting distance]
