5 ♐ [Video] (Backdated to a little earlier in the event) Alex/Nepeta/Equius chain-shenanigans

[b100b100dbeast]

[Up in the library, Equius has nabbed some blank scrolls, stolen some paints from the Bower, and is messily finger painting some rather suggestive artwork depicting an extremely muscular half-horse-half-humanoid creature

audio. i know i said i was sitting this out, but i cant help this much

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*Sollux is just going to laugh at you, Equius.

Audio

[b100b100dbeast]

Yes. So much envy towards artistic ability only matched by my strength must drive others to hysterics.

[Whatever Sollux, LAUGH IT UP. EQUIUS CAN BREAK THESE CUFFS.]

Audio

[thii2ii22tupiid]

Ehehe, keep telling yourself that.

audio.

[theonlypower]

Is it necessary to mention your strength?

[From the sounds of it, Vicious isn't impressed. But he always sounds like this, so :|a]

Audio

[b100b100dbeast]

Just as necessary as mentioning my nobility.

[Besides, if Equius doesn't keep filling his ego with hot air some might actually escape. Can't have that.]

Audio

[theonlypower]

[so it's not then...]

It's useless.

Audio

[b100b100dbeast]

[That was a hit to the face. Of all the words that could possibly used with Equius!]

A sign of prestige and status is not useless when used as a tool to establish superiority. I would not expect a human to understand.

[ audio ]

[unit_67]

I got one too, and I'm scared. It's freaking me out, man!

[ audio ]

[b100b100dbeast]

They've chained you too? To anything, or did they leave the job unfinished like they did for me? I'm certain they will not remain for too long... But, stay aware, just in case they choose to add more to this little trick.

[ audio ]

[unit_67]

No, it's just... a cuff. Not attached to anything. And it's annoying, and it won't come off, and now my wrist hurts.

[Of course she tried to break it.]

[ audio ]

[b100b100dbeast]

Let's hope it remains that way. And I agree, it is very much an annoyance... Is your wrist alright?

[If a sliver of concern slips out, it's completely on accident. A serious Equius must always remain serious.]

[Audio]

[cellwave]

[Shal is just barely stifling a laugh here.]

That's some painting you've got there. Come on, don't be ashamed of it, show it off!

[Video]

[b100b100dbeast]

Oh, yes, certainly.

[The video feed comes back on, showing a rough finger-paint doodle of a massively muscled centaur-esque beast with a very large mustache and an udder that seems... Out of place when compared to the rest of the monster.]

I admit, I thought it would be impossible to find a human who appreciates exquisite works of art.

[Audio]

[cellwave]

[Oh man, Equius, that's... that's beautiful. It just got a lot harder to contain his laughter.]

Well, there's a few in every bunch, right? Even among humans.

I've got to ask, is the creature something from your world, or is it care of you imagination?

[Audio]

[b100b100dbeast]

Maybe. Humans can share some faint similarities at times. And of course it's a creature from my world. I don't fabricate nonexistent personalities, like Tavros.

They're called Musclebeasts, and this painting doesn't do their true immensity any justice.

:33 < *a cute kitty frisks her table across the desk as she waits ready to pounce!*

:33 < *oh no she landed in all these paints and got them all over her paws! well this is a purrfect time for some art! :DD*

:33 < *the sw33t meowrail pounces all over equius's silly muscle drawings leaving cute little pawprints behind her*

[Yup. Nothing suspicious going on here.]

[b100b100dbeast]

D --> Nepeta, refrain from trotting over these priceless wor% of art until they are dried
D --> Am I to assume that this may be foreshadowing for future actions on your part
D --> You have your own memorial to romance in your respiteblock
D --> Leave tiny hoofprints on that instead
D --> Are you near
D --> I do not see you

[And believe him, moirail. Equius is staring, suspiciously, over his shoulder for any potential sneak attacks from an adorable kittytroll.]

:33 < heehee i don't have hoofs

:33 < and i'm not there i was only purrtending

:33 < the cuffs got me and now i can't go anywhere

[b100b100dbeast]

D --> You don't have paws either
D --> You have feet just like me
D --> But that is aside from the focus, now
D --> What do you mean you can't go anywhere
D --> Are you in trouble
D --> Do you require my assistance
