[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.]

[fuckdemocracy]

I'm interested in how best to punish you.

[Enjoy the ceiling again.]

[monocle_layton]

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

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

[fuckdemocracy]

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.

[monocle_layton]

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

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

[fuckdemocracy]

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?

[monocle_layton]

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

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

[fuckdemocracy]

For the moment. I suppose.

[monocle_layton]

I will then.

[fuckdemocracy]

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

[monocle_layton]

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

Petrel is... from my reality...

[fuckdemocracy]

And Tyrannus is the one you profess to love.

[monocle_layton]

...

[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.]

[fuckdemocracy]

Roulette has had him a long while now, Twister.

[monocle_layton]

Is it too late...?

[fuckdemocracy]

Perhaps. And if it is?

[monocle_layton]

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

[fuckdemocracy]

Assume it is and answer with that in mind.

[monocle_layton]

Then I will delude myself into believing that I may one day be returned to a point in my reality before it happened.

[fuckdemocracy]

[It snorts.]

And what of Tyrannus?

[monocle_layton]

I will try to help him.

[fuckdemocracy]

And if he is beyond help?

[monocle_layton]

No one is beyond help while they're breathing.

[fuckdemocracy]

I'm breathing.

[When it remembers to.]

[monocle_layton]

You're not beyond help either.

[fuckdemocracy]

I'm not even human. How much help do you think you can give?
