[b]Black![/b] It is Black who follows 3V into Sirius drinks with the stylish edge that comes with a fauxleather jacket and shades. There is no question of her aspect here: the wary confidence of a cat, prepared to hiss and show claws but certain that she would win whatever came of that. The way she moves on the edge of sight lines is like having a bodyguard or a shadow, and specific effort will need to be made to fix her in your view or draw her out. The balance closeness and distance might be appreciated, though. She's [i]there[/i], but giving you space while also letting you get used to her. It's as easy to engage as it is to disengage and back again, which puts a cap on how awkward things can get. [b]White![/b] [i]A few days later...[/i] The battle within White has been like two spies trying to hide in the same closet: Quiet, dark, and vicious. She been played by Black. Perfectly read and shut down because of something she wouldn't do. Something had blocked her from performing her function and it was [i]not[/i] part of her original design specifications. The idea of following Black into the furry bar had been... She felt her mouth twitch. A sneer try to form. A tension in her head like some sort of pre-programmed [i]instinctive[/i] reaction. There was a contempt, a dismissive, roiling contempt welling up within her. Some part of her could still hear Mrs. Everest's voice reflecting off the perfectly prepared tea, that single word that seemed the beginning and end of the discussion. [i]Animals[/i]. She could almost feel herself saying it. She didn't, though. She refused to. That word, that... [i]emotion[/i] had blocked her from performing her function and it was [b]not[/b] part of her original design specifications! She had... picked it up from somewhere. Mrs. Everest had... rubbed off on her somehow. She'd somehow acquired the Mistress' contempt for the furry subculture. And it was [i]impacting[/i] her [i]work[/i]. And that was [i]unacceptable[/i]. And so White is here. Alone. Fist quietly clenched inside her pocket as the only invisible sign of the bizarre tension she felt. She started to take a deep breath, then forcibly stopped herself - the gesture was meaningless, another emulation of a human habit, an expression of a human emotion she did not want and should not have. The purpose of this operation was to break herself of imperfections and irrationalities and prove that [i]she[/i] was the master of her own mind. If she did not do this then she might as well assign administrative functions to Black and be done with it. So she forcibly unclenched her fist, opened her hand, and went inside Sirius Drinks.
