PRP-Paranoia- Sus

[Ram]

Frances ran out. Sonnie ran after her. And all he could do was look dumbly towards the open door, as tears started to form in his eyes. As if out of habit, he gently moved the table back into place before sinking in one of the chairs.

It cracked, screamed, and strained under him as he ran his hands across his curved horns till they rested behind his neck.

"I fucked...messed up, didn't I?" he said, almost not even talking to Titania. More to himself. He was so fired at this point.

"I just wanted to help her," he whispered.

[DrDog]

Sonnie catches up to Frances pretty easily. She's only human after all, and a steppscrambler is no slouch on flat ground.

She turns and glares, "what the fuck do you want?" She shouts, tears in her eyes.

It takes Ram a minute or two as he runs his hand over the dust that was the stone of the necklace, but as he ruminates, he comes to realize that the stone broke with just the faintest amount of pressure from his hand, and that it seemed too brittle in his hands. It was almost as if the stone was missing its spirit, its "stone-ness".

[Sonnie Wu]

"Look, I'm SO sorry about what just happened! That was WILDLY inappropriate of him! Are you hurt?" She was being honest. Sonnie genuinely was angry about what Ram had done, and was sincerely sorry for Frances.

"Look, I'm... I know it seems weird that we're suddenly prying into your life. We probably shouldn't be." No probably about it. "We were just concerned when we heard you were becoming distant and stuff."

There was a part of her that wanted to open up, to give the poor woman an explanation for all the odd secrets, but she knew that was a big No-No. No mortal should be brought into the fae world. Not without ensorcellment first, and Sonnie wasn't even certain how to do that.

Crap, where was Ellie? The Telluric had a much better way with people in situations like this. Sonnie felt out of her depth.

[Ram]

“No..Stone?”

No that was wrong. Even air when it tried enough was hard to break. That wasn’t… what had he just broken?

It was too easy. It was… unreal. And if it wasn’t real… then it meant some other cursed object might be at fault.

Shit… had he ever fucked up this bad?! What did it even mean? A false Token? A fake misdirect? Some kind of Hedgespun? What had he just crushed?

[Titania]

For the most part she's been quiet. Staring mouth agape from her chair at first, pinching the bridge of her nose afterwards while running over the possibilities.
There wasn't a single positive outcome, indeed.
Violating an employee's privacy was one thing. But aggression... and this was California to boot.
They needed a lawyer, a good one.
"Bigly", is her reply to the Ogre.
"What's that?", she says, getting up and motioning at the dust on the floor.

Addition of -2 penalty to Ram's roll still nets him 1 success.

Ram isn't sure, but it may be that whatever was in the amulet is gone now, and it took the "heart" out of the amulet along with it, leaving nothing but an empty shell.

"I'm fine, not like you care, monkey girl." She blinks, confused, her eyes seeming to follow Sonnie's tail for a moment before she seems to loose sight of it. "Why did I call you that? What did you do to me? Did he drug me?" She backs away from Sonnie.

[Sonnie Wu]

Sonnie's mouth opened to speak, then snapped shut. She blinked at Frances in surprise. Did... did she see? Doubt seemed high in the woman, though. Best to try and play it off.

"Did you just call me a... monkey? Are you feeling well?" She tilted her head to one side, "I haven't done anything to you." Which was true, as far as she knew.

Just the same, her tail curled up out of sight behind her.

"Do you need to lie down?"

[Ram]

"It... it was what was holding the curse that was on her, removing it was supposed to be the first step to fixing things," he stumbled over his words, trying to put together what he'd just realized.

"But something got taken out before I could break it. Whatever was in it got taken out," he said looking up to Titania with a rising panic "It was too easy to break. It was too easy to break!" Would she even understand what that meant? It was something he felt deep within his heart, as part of his Seeming. But what it meant was something he could explain even if he couldn't explain his feelings.

"The curse or whatever was in the necklace isn't gone. It just moved."

He'd really fucked up!

[Titania]

"Well", she looks at him with a look of confusion mixed with annoyance, "are you sure of it. Or is it just a hunch. Because your instincts haven't exactly helped our situation right now"

[DrDog]

"I'm not fine. I'm not fine at all!" She backs further away, eyes racing over the Beast, looking hunting for something she can't quite seem to see. "I'll find out what you did to me, and you'll regret it."
She's almost at the park exit to employee parking.
