Ambyssin
Gotta go back. Back to the past.
“It doesn’t have hands, Pasty!” Nikki resisted the urge to facepalm.
"The entire reason they have talons is so that they can manipulate objects," Lillie snipped back in a matter-of-fact tone of voice...“It doesn’t have hands, Pasty!” Nikki resisted the urge to facepalm.
Kaz looked at the shiny silver container, unsure on what to do with it. While Kaz could use it, she certainly couldn't reach her face, at least not in any comfortable manner. Kaz lowered herself to be face-to-face with Lillie. "I don't think I could do it by myself," Kaz said. "You wouldn't mind helping me out, right?""I dare you to... uhh..."
She pulled a silver spray canister from her bag. Some super repel.
"Spray this... on your face? Or, can you even, uhh, reach?"
Kaz turned back to the toxtricity. "She's seen ponyta like me before!" she rumbled. "Leave her alone!"“And you would know that because?”
Lillie's left hand disappeared behind her back as she clenched it into a fist. How could she be that careless?“And you would know that because?”
It occurred to Lillie that spraying Kaz in the face with repel felt a lot meaner when she had to do it herself... But she was already committed. They had a river nearby, and this version would wash off with water."I don't think I could do it by myself," Kaz said. "You wouldn't mind helping me out, right?"
Lillie sighed a breath of relief. "Yes... A few of them."Kaz turned back to the toxtricity. "She's seen ponyta like me before!" she rumbled. "Leave her alone!"
"I-it's this headdress!" Kaz was desperate. There was not a hint of a lie in her voice but it was clear to anyone else that she was making excuses, or at least, spouting the ones the psychics had implanted in her. What the toxtricity was saying was conflicting with the memories that must have been true. Sticking to her memories didn't hurt, wandering off that path did, meaning that those memories must've been good! They had to be.Nikki wasn't impressed. "If you were really a ponyta, you could levitate it with your telekinesis. Or you'd make the canister explode because your mane's on fire."
Kaz simply shook her head. "I don't. Maybe I would be able to if I found a way to take this thing off but it stays put, no matter what I do. The best I could do was break a piece off here," she explained, pointing to the broken vane. Lillie then gestured, showing that she was ready to spray the substance at her."May I ask how you eat?" Lillie couldn't help but wonder. The Nulls back at home were tube-fed with liquid food, but Kaz clearly wasn't.
Thankfully, Kaz was able to close her eyes in time. The headdress stopped most of it, but a few particles managed to get in, causing her to sneeze. Shaking herself off, she called out, "alright! Who's next then!"Then, finally, she took her bottle and fired a quick blast of repel into the helmet, trying not to get it in Kaz's eyes.
What did this thing think Nikki was calling it Hell-Mutt for? "Yeah, seems like some sorta power limiter if you ask me." She absentmindedly strummed her gills. In contrast to Boomburst, this produced a soft, soothing melody. Like an acoustic guitar piece. "Like in actions pieces. There's some sort of armor suppressing a character's power. You remove it and they go all berserk.""I-it's this headdress!" Kaz was desperate
Huh? When did the Toxtricity get here? And... what was that wonderful melody? She thought to herself as she stared at her in wonder. She shook her head. Wait, who's turn was it?What did this thing think Nikki was calling it Hell-Mutt for? "Yeah, seems like some sorta power limiter if you ask me." She absentmindedly strummed her gills.

"Me? I... Uhh...""Lillie! Since you gave me the dare, how about you go next? Truth or dare?"
Kaz briefly thought about what to ask her friend. She didn't like the toxtricity very much and didn't want to take any advice from her but she was curious as to what Lillie knew about her species. Kaz didn't want to be too hard on her, she only wanted to know more about the ponyta that Lillie knew about. Kaz already knew about herself, so she asked, "What do you know about ponyta?""A truth, I guess?"
"I... Uhh...""What do you know about ponyta?"
"You're welcome?" But... I didn't know anything..."You seem to know a lot! Thank you! Thank you!"
She understood the message. "Right, truth.""You're welcome?" But... I didn't know anything...
Lillie did have someone in mind to ask next: The Sneasel. She locked her eyes onto her target.
"Truth or dare?"
