[Since he knows that he'll lose one wish regardless at the end of the month, Twister has decided to do what he can to make all three wishes as painful for Peacock as he possibly can, thus increasing the chances of at least two of them having lasting damage.

He's thought hard about this second wish and came to a conclusion based upon his earlier... discussions with Peacock. Unlike his first wish, which had been a grand statement made as publicly as possible (on account of him wanting to force Peacock into the eyes of the residents here), this one is a much more selfish wish, so he is asking for it in the privacy of one of his own rooms.]

I wish for the Dressing Room to be represented by an avatar who will be more inclined to listen to me and discuss it's decisions through with me.

[Note that he's only asking for an avatar that will listen to him, not everyone, hence why this is a private wish. He's also not banishing Peacock completely either. Ho-hum.]

[He stretches. It's... been a while.]

Life is an interesting wish to grant someone. I thank you for it. Now, if you'll excuse me.

[Chess wastes no time on Twister for the moment, heading off to find Peacock.]

[fuckdemocracy]

[Not all that hard to find, considering that it screams loud enough for the entire Dressing Room to hear when Chess comes into being.

Congratulations, Twister. You just put yourself on its personal hit-list. Permanently.]

As if Twister was ever not on that list!

[gentlemanoftentacles]

[Chess materialises in front of Peacock, merely smiling across at him and his charming screaming.]

Hello there, little man.

well, true, but it had occasionally toyed with the idea of letting him go home for a while.

[fuckdemocracy]

[It lifts its head (because hello, floor, you've been treating it much nicer than you treated Twister since it collapsed) and stares up at Chess, a low growl rumbling in its chest.]

This is not your territory, regardless of Twister's wish.

SOBBING!

[gentlemanoftentacles]

Very true. But it is plain to observe that you are doing a terrible job of handling it. Your ants are scattered, running all over the floor, because you lack the ability to control them.

"Twister" probably had the right idea.

[fuckdemocracy]

It exists for my entertainment, Chess. They have a measure of perceived free will in order to facilitate that.

[It lowers its face back to the carpet. Give it a minute, Chess, it's in considerable amounts of pain right now.]

[gentlemanoftentacles]

Would you care for a moment to settle yourself? Seeing as you're either incapable, lazy or both?

[fuckdemocracy]

If you have any real understanding of what you are- [Because who knows? Perhaps it's just a wish-construct, and not really... one of them.] - then you'll understand my issue.

[gentlemanoftentacles]

And if you had any real understanding of what you are then you'd have no trouble removing me from your territory.

Unless of course, you are inferior.

[fuckdemocracy]

The wishes are binding. Certain rules are by our very nature.

[gentlemanoftentacles]

So you'll get rid of me by the end of the month, at the cost of having to stay here indefinitely.

[fuckdemocracy]

Quite. Staying here is less painful than having you here.

[...for multiple reasons. It sucks in a sharp breath, sitting itself up and just staring at Chess' shoes.]

...did you exist? Before this, that is.

[gentlemanoftentacles]

Yes.

[No further comment.]

[fuckdemocracy]

...ah. So you...

...well.

[gentlemanoftentacles]

Yes. Again.

[fuckdemocracy]

[It nods after a moment, lifting its eyes to Chess' face.]

...and here we are.

[gentlemanoftentacles]

Here we are indeed. Seeing as conversation between two of our species is ultimately pointless, I rather feel that I will go to get settled into your territory.

[fuckdemocracy]

[It growls low in its throat.]

You'll go nowhere without permission!

[gentlemanoftentacles]

I do not need your permission.

[You can watch him demonstrating this point by leaving.]

[fuckdemocracy]

[It snarls, throwing him into the wall - not as easy as it'd be with Twister, but not all that hard nonetheless.]

You're an offshoot of me now. I can and will eat you if that's what it takes.

[gentlemanoftentacles]

I'm pleased to see that you are capable of both action and idle threats.
