[ winces, gaze turning hooded for a few seconds before he regains his composure. though his voice sounds strangely distant, as if recovering from being slapped in the face ]

... Yeah, you're right. His body is something he absolutely can't stand to give up. I don't like it either, but... I get it.

[ clears throat, voice returning to normal ]

Anyway, I heard from Shadow Fiend that one or more Rose members has an exploding seed embedded in their heart. It'll be triggered next time they feel their stolen emotion — fear or secondhand embarrassment, in their case. I'd guess that it's the same for Daffodil, but for panic.

[gives him an alarmed look, did I offend him?? how??

but hey now they can know for sure that muffin doesn't have a seed or that might've got him]

Right...

...will, um. See what Tart wants to do about that. Would... already be a bad situation if Tart was panicking.

[ don't worry about it!!!

he was banking on Muffin's fretful look earlier counting as panic, but he still tenses almost imperceptibly on reflex, deflating when nothing happens ]

Agreed.

[ huffs ]

I'm gonna miss jumpscaring people.

[electricflock]

You can’t um… jumpscare people other than Tart?

[catposting]

Non-participants have been punished before, so I don't know if Tart or someone else has it. Shadow Fiend doesn't know who on Rose got hit.

[ grins ]

Other flocks are free game, though.

[chirrups, ohh]

Um, happy hunting.

[catposting]

Thanks. Can't let this shadow power go to waste.

[electricflock]

Did you get the floating one too?

[catposting]

No.

[ summons a tiny storm cloud ]

I could already float.

[electricflock]

Could do jumpscares from ceiling.

[chirps at the cloud]

What’s that one?

[catposting]

[ the stormcloud starts drizzling beside them. a couple of tiny lightning bolts zap the fountain ]

[electricflock]

[BIG CHIRP!!]

Cute!!

[catposting]

[ surprised chirrup ]

You like lightning, huh?

[electricflock]

Am lightning element! I love lightning.

[catposting]

[ the cloud continues to shoot baby lightning bolts into the fountain ]

You mean you can cast it? Or are you literally made of lightning?

[electricflock]

Can control it. Everyone at home is aligned to an element.

[catposting]

You must have loved the thunderstorm the other day.

[electricflock]

It was great. Me and Angel Devil played catch with lightning bolts!

[catposting]

Heh. He throws a mean lightning bolt.

Bet you do too.

[electricflock]

[chitters]

He's good! He's almost a match for me.

[catposting]

Sounds like no one's a match for you.

[ a beat ]

Stormy doesn't count.

[electricflock]

Stormy has home field advantage.

[catposting]

Did I ever tell you that he zapped me the first day I arrived, because I startled Blossom?

[electricflock]

[shakes his head]

Were you okay?

[catposting]

More stunned than anything. Not many things can hurt me back home.

You should have seen him, demanding if I'd killed Blossom when he knew perfectly well that she was just body hopping.

[ rolls his eyes, tone warm, almost fond ]

Drama queen.
