You sat in the living room within your mind, hands on your knees and shoulders slumped. You were tense, leaning forward while looking down. Fin paced in front of you back and forth. Mirra was laying across the other half of the couch, flipping through channels that represented memories. She stopped on one that was you, on your back, mewling while covering your face. Your legs spread and a big fat man draped over you like a blanket. You blushed as you heard the sound of yourself moaning and begging for more.
"So..." Fin began, then trailed off, looking at you. He sounded like a disappointed parent and, to be fair, his age did eclipse yours by over a thousand years. He shrugged as you remained silent.
"Alright, I guess I'll keep talking: You are doing all of the worst things you could possibly do. Jacob is someone that can't be trusted. I know the type. I don't think we are a common thing in this world so bringing him in was a mistake. Now we either need to deal with him or placate him for our own safety and I don't think we have the ability to deal with him..."
You raised your hand. "I didn't actually bring him in." Fin lunged forward and grabbed you by your ears. You yelped.
"Aaah! Stahp!" You lifted your butt off the couch, your tail wagging out of control.
As he held your cute, perky beastfolk ears that were something of a cross between a Gnolls and a fox, your eyes began to tear up unconsciously. He spoke into them.
"You don't get it." He let go. You sat back down, shaking a little. Your ears wiggled on top of your head.
"What don't I get?"
"Jacob is probably already trying to figure out why you can remember and no one else. He has TWO test subjects that he can find repeatable results with. Eventually the topic of why you can resist the hypnosis in spirit is going to come up and at that point can you really refuse him?"
"Absolutely." You said flatly, with an undeserved level of confidence that Fin detected immediately. As soon as you said that, Mirra turned the volume up loud on the TV. Your voice came blaring over the speaker, filling the room.
"Yes! You're the Conqueror! You're the conqueror, Jacob! Oh fuck~" Your jaw dropped.You mouth opened and closed a few times as you lost the words you were going to say.
"Well... You see-"
"Uh huh?" Fin crossed his arms over his chest. Mirra turned the volume down since all of the Beastfolk in the room, you and Fin, were twitching a bit. She mouthed 'sorry' at him and he just offered a mild, dismissive wave.
"What's your plan, 'Conqueror?'"
"For your information, I'm gonna..." You tried to think. They were both looking at you. Your face became even more red.
"I'll-" You furrowed your brow. Suddenly you smiled proudly and announced:
"I can turn him in. He's a spy. That idiot told me everything and left me alone!"
Fin nodded slowly. "That's good, actually. Yes." He pointed.
"Do that."
"I'm still Djir! I can't be bested by an ugly bastard."
Fin looked dumbfounded. "You know... I think it's actually kind of scary how much like your step-sister you are. The only thing that's saved you was your monstrous ability, and the fact that you were a male gnoll."
You scoffed. "Raithe?"
"No." Fin smirked.
You blinked. "Kara!? I'm not like her! I'm rightfully confident. My ambition leads the way. If I put my mind to my goals I'll succeed. It's NEVER been an issue." Fin's smirk grew, he leaned forward, poking your ears, then your cheek.
"Quit it..."
"In this soft body it doesn't matter how confident you are." He stated.
"I'll show you!"
You left the inner space, returning to the Finn's room. You were laying on the bed, looking up. The moment you awoke you turned over and found the phone. It was a device you had slowly become acquainted with over time. You navigated slowly and laboriously to the keypad and began trying to send out a call. The call to the authorities, as you understood it, was by dialling three simple numbers. As simple as that sounded, the moment you clicked the call button the call ended.
"Eh?" You looked at the bars and saw the little signal picture was 100% empty.
"That's not right, I think." You got up and walked over to the computer instead. You very awkwardly moved the mouse over to what you were taught was the internet and again, the connection was down.
"I don't think this is supposed to not work? Shouldn't it just work?" As you were fiddling with it in utter futility due to your technical inadequacy you heard the sound of familiar, heavy steps coming up the stairs. You shut everything off and turned around to greet Jacob as he burst into your room.
"Uh... Hey?"
He walked in, staring at you appraisingly. "How's my favourite accomplice?"
"Fine?"
"Really? Sure you're not unsatisfied with anything?"
"Why would you think that?" You asked.
"Oh... It's just that I've been jamming the signal for the whole house and caught an outgoing call to the Police." He stood, waiting for you to explain yourself. You felt more accurately that he was looking forward to seeing you squirm as you tried to explain yourself.
`I know that look, since I'm also a devious bastard. He knows everything already. Ugh... I thought magic would be my weakness but the fact that I also know nothing about the technology of this world is also not doing me any favours. It might even be worse.` You defied his expectations and decided to come clean, since he knew anyway.
"Yeah, I was trying to call them."
Jacob lifted a brow. "Hoh? Why's that?"
You crossed your arms and turned up your nose. "Look, you've already locked everything down without me having to do anything, so it's not like I stand to lose or gain anything else. I was obviously trying to turn you in since you're a spy or whatever. That'd be an easy way to get you out of my hair."
"Wow! I appreciate the honesty Finn, really. However... I thought you were smart."
You bristled a little at that. "I am."
"Why is it that you think you can just call in a tip and have someone with authority instantly come to check it out? That's naive. I'd never get done in by that. That's without even going into the connections I have to call on in a pinch."
"Eh?"
