Just a Passing Assassin...

[ThreadLurkingComorant]

 You turn your eyes discreetly toward the rabbit watching in the corner. You should really catch her up on everything but…

You decided to goof off a little bit.

You instinctively reach out your hand, calling over your hammer.  With a little flourish it manifests with your hand, you take a moment to play it up with a few little showish flairs.

Cabinetta: That’s silly.

Spiral: It’s… what it is.

Cabinetta: I don’t mind I like that sort of thing.

You decide to approach the rabbit, who’s gaze seems to be looking toward every hypothetical exit.

Spiral: Hey-

Steady: You gotta explain what’s going on right now.

Spiral: It’s me! Cabinetta ate my soul, I’m trapped inside-

Steady: Yeah I saw that, yeah I can tell dude.

Steady: Like.. it’s kinda obvious it’s not her in control/

Spiral: Ah..

Steady: She okay?

Spiral: Uh.. we’re sorta linked now?

Spiral: Went on a head date.

Steady: Same? Sorta? Maybe not the same kind.

Spiral: Spooky voice asked me to call in a favor, a weird demon rabbit showed up..

Steady: Was she cute?

Spiral: I mean yeah, she was chill too.

Spiral: But like… I don’t know?

Steady: Entity, you know those?

Spiral: Uh.. kinda? Exists somewhere in my memories I guess.

Steady: Yeah. You made a pact with her?

Spiral: Yeah, one to connect me and Cabinetta. SHe uh.. Offered to merge?

Steady: That’s pretty cool.

Steady: You know I can’t believe you let her eat your soul though.

Steady: Like, her whole cute spider thing is kinda obvious vampire murder seduction into becoming food.

Cabinetta: It is in the playbook technically…

Spiral: Wait was there a chance she would’ve just eaten me for real?

Steady: Yeah but you got lucky she just wants company.

Cabinetta: You don’t have to put it like that…

Spiral: So like… why didn’t you say anything?

Steady: Had a hunch it’d work out. Honestly was more worried she’d drain you too hard which uh..

Steady: Your body is a bit flushed looking, she was biting down for awhile.

Cabinetta: A-Ah! Sorry… I got caught up…

Spiral: Is it bad?

Steady: Uh.. not dangerous but you need some rest. No straining yourself.

Spiral: Ah..

Steady: Look good though.

Steady: Oh yeah, your entity left you a goodie too.

She gestures over toward the gift box still resting on the shelf.
Spiral: You noticed?

Steady: Yeah, it’s pretty obvious honestly.

Steady: You can feel that radiation. Yum..

Steady: So uh.. Yeah. I can scan if you want by the way, Fiddle can see how the merge has impacted both of ya’ll.

Steady: Is she in there listening int?

Spiral: Mmhmm..

Steady: Cool, so uh..

Steady: Kind of a whole lot going on and not sure what to do about any of it. What now I guess?

Cabinetta: That’s a good question… Spiral?

Spiral: Good question..

Right now in this state you feel strong enough to do anything, a bit of a rush from just being fed combined with the latent power that she's likely been hesitant to show off too lightly.

Honestly you wonder if you could throw hands with the creature outside even..

There's a number of instinctual feelings as well. A passive urge to feed like a case of after dinner munchies, the desire to speak in a slight touch of prose and laugh like a noblewoman, the fascination with dressing comfortably spooky, and the primal obsession to shoot web and cocoon everything that moves.. is this just how fiends work?

Steady: You’re the queen of this castle now, flex a bit.
