Circe's Manor THE NEXT

[Ookalf]

Well, we should probably figure something out before she wakes up...

[AmbushCat]

*On cue...*

CC: *jerks awake* ONE MORE TIME!!!

*Zapana yelps in surprise and stumbles back, barely managing to stay upright. The multiColored girl just looks around her groggily for a few moments, yawns and drops back to sleep again.*

[Ookalf]

Gyah! *Circe covers her ears.* Holy hell, is she loud! If she's gonna be like that, I might just throw her out...

[AmbushCat]

*Zapana sets down Callista and dabs at her ears with a handkerchief, grimacing.*

Come again? I've got the Liberty Bell in my brain.

[Ookalf]

I said, I might just toss her out with the trash!

[AmbushCat]

*Zapana pulls her handkerchief away, snarling a little when she sees it speckled crimson.*

I realize you're Orange and that, but ain't that a little... well, you know?

[Ookalf]

A little... what? Cruel? Maybe, but I don't see you coming up with anything better.

[AmbushCat]

Hey, you try having Notre Dame's bells blasting you point blank and see how well you try to think. I'm the one with the sensitive ears, remember?

[Ookalf]

Right, right, sure you are. My point still stands, though. If you don't have some other idea for her, I'm tossing her out on the streets.

[AmbushCat]

*Zapana visibly struggles to think up a solution, her face scrunching up a bit in concentration.*

...I dunno. Maybe steer her in the right direction, point her someplace where she can do more good than harm---

CC: *sleepily mutters* I swear, the two of you are super tsundere for each other... *curls up in a fetal position, resuming snoring*

*vein twitches* ---EVICT HER WITH THE BIGGEST TREBUCHET YOU'VE GOT.

[Ookalf]

*Circe raises an eyebrow.* Really? The biggest one? Are you sure you want that kind of devastation on your hands?

[AmbushCat]

Bill me.

[Ookalf]

All right then. I'll be sure to let whatever city block we demolish know it's your fault... *Circe shoves a bag over the loudmouth's head to shut her up and drags her away. ...Wait, was she serious about that?*

[AmbushCat]

*Zapana waits until Circe is out of immediate earshot, then picks up Callista and exits the room as well. Her hearing (and by extension, her equilibrium) has been thrown off by CC's earlier yelling, though, and she doesn't seem to realize that she's going the wrong way.*

[Ookalf]

*Zapana wanders around with Callista for a while, and somehow makes her way to the kitchen. No one there seems to have noticed her just yet.*
