[Peacock is... displeased, to say the least. It's true that it can bend (and outright break, if it prefers) its own rules at will. However. There's a difference between the bending and breaking of rules such as the length of its toying with the residents or its interpretation of wishes, though, and outright turning and undoing a wish that's already been made regarding itself. The upshot of which, of course, is that it's stuck within its own walls until the end of the month.

Have fun, residents, with the irritable eldritch abomination prowling the corridors.]

I will refrain from throwing them around the place. But Petrel will remain here.

V-very well...

...I suppose that it is my own business to deal with Roulette.

Quite.

[It pauses, watching him.]

Be aware - should you misbehave, I think perhaps Tyrannus may not continue to remain here.

Very well.

You seem rather more accepting of that idea than the idea of Petrel residing with Roulette.

...

I do not want to discuss this with you.

[Which is a moot point, consider the mind reading.]

[The throwing him into the wall is almost casual this time.]

How about now?

Why should you even care about how I regard the Clives?

...Unless it's all about getting me to listen to you.

[This is going to be a long night. With much slamming against walls.]

I'm interested in how best to punish you.

[Enjoy the ceiling again.]

The ceiling is... a l-lovely choice... I must confess...

[Unsure if being sarcastic or delusional that this point.]

Hmm.

[It flashes sharp teeth, pulling Twister closer in midair so that it can flick out its tongue and taste the blood he's coughed up.]

Perhaps I should cut out the corridor and simply twist you around inside.

...Do that and you'd... be breaking your restrictions...

[It's more a desperate plea than not learning the rules by this point.]

No, I wouldn't. If it's within my power to slam you into things with a thought, what makes you think that twisting around your internal organs within your body would be any less possible?

I don't doubt that it would be possible...

Will you... stop if I tell you what y-you want to know?

For the moment. I suppose.

I will then.

Go on, then - why are you more concerned by Petrel than Tyrannus?

[He really doesn't want to answer that.]

Petrel is... from my reality...

And Tyrannus is the one you profess to love.

...

[But Tyrannus is broken. I can try to fix him, and I want to, but Petrel is the one who is unbroken and pure. If he was here he would be destroyed, eaten alive by the other residents. Especially Roulette. And I can't have that.]

Roulette has had him a long while now, Twister.

Is it too late...?

Perhaps. And if it is?

...I can't answer that without confirmation.

Assume it is and answer with that in mind.
