[Still no mission! But there's a couple things of note. Santa was gone yesterday, but now he's apparently come back to his house. And there might be familiar faces going into the Toy Factory. Other than that, though, there's nothing really different. It may also be of interest that there doesn't seem to be any repercussions for doing nothing yesterday...]

[Fluttershy's eyes go wide. Holding hostages? Fluttercruel's ready to take the rigns if anything goes wrong.]

O- oh my... Hostages?

[She shuffles her hoof a little and hides behind her mane.]

Um, w- what could you need hostages for...?

[vexed_snake]

The police won't shoot at you if they have to shoot through a hostage first. It was the easiest way to get out of there.

[Because going quietly with the police is never an option.]

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy sputters a bit. She' trying so hard to be patient with the human, but his attitude and actions are making it hard. What's making it even harder is that she's trying to keep Fluttercruel from taking control and beat Asakura into a bloody pulp.]

Y- you could've just turned yourself in...! And why were the police after you anyway...?

[vexed_snake]

[If Asakura has bothered to pick up on Fluttershy's discomfiture, he clearly doesn't care.]

Why would I turn myself in when I spent all that time escaping from jail in the first place? My lawyer was too incompetent to get me out...you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.

[When he talks about his lawyer, his fists clench, and there's a certain disgusted tone in his voice.]

[shy_kindness]

Why were you in jail in the first place? If you don't mind me asking, that is...

[vexed_snake]

I don't mind at all.

[He grins.]

I was vexed...and a few people got hurt. Some died.

[...really, it's a wonder the lawyer got his sentence reduced to only ten years.]

[shy_kindness]

That's... that's just awful! You can't go around doing those types of things!

[Aaand Fluttershy's starting to get frustrated again.]

That's probably why you ended up in jail! ...And used those poor hostages...! And, um, it's probably why your lawyer wasn't able to get you out of jail, either...

[Let's just tear out his throat and be done with this already.
No. That would be doing the same thing he's doing.
We'd be killing this bucker so he doesn't end up killing anyone else!
Fluttercruel, no. I mean no. No.
But- He- You- ...Urgh, FINE.]

[vexed_snake]

Why not? There's not much else I can do if I'm vexed.

[There is a very good reason many of his later visits to jail also included straightjackets...]

And that lawyer was useless. I should've killed him when I had the chance...

[Failure to kill said lawyer was what drove Asakura into the suicidal rage that led him to this place. Whoops.]

[shy_kindness]

There's plenty of other things to do when you're feeling angry or frustrated! What you do is just plain awful! What would your mother think if he saw you doing such things!?

[vexed_snake]

[That...makes him laugh more than it should.]

Nothing. My mother's dead. My parents vexed me. So did my brother.

[And there's absolutely no hint of remorse.]

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy... just stares in wide-eyed horror. Fluttercruel is just as shocked.]

[vexed_snake]

[Yes, Flutters, you're dealing with a genuinely terrible excuse for a human being. And he doesn't seem to care. He just grins in response to that wide-eyed horror. It's not the first time he's gotten a look like that, nor will it be the last.]

[shy_kindness]

[After a few moments, that horror transforms into anger. Ever feel what it's liked to be pulled by the ear? Because that's exactly what Fluttershy's doing to you. She'll be dragging you to the nearest bathroom to wash his mouth out with soap.

Fluttercruel is very amused by this.]

[vexed_snake]

[For a second, Asakura is too confused to react, but ow, hey, watch it, pony, that's his ear you're tugging on! He's making a few attempts to punch her off, but thanks to the way she's yanking on his ear, nothing connects.

Asakura's kind of stumbling in whatever direction she's pulling him, and he's got no idea what's going on here.]

You're really starting to vex me...

[And let's face it. Soap isn't high up on the list of "things Asakura makes use of regularly" anyway.]

[shy_kindness]

[Punishment is exactly what's going on. Fluttershy knows exactly what she's doing. Ater all, she's done wonders for Fluttercruel.]

I'm going to wash your mouth out with soap for saying all those awful things! And then you're going to go sit in the corner for 4 hours and think about what you've done, mister!

[vexed_snake]

[Fluttershy will at least have no problems dragging him wherever, simply because he's now laughing too hard to fight back much at the moment. Every now and then, he'll still manage a sloppy punching attempt that misses.]

I'd like to see you try.

[shy_kindness]

[When she hears that laughter, she tugs on the ear harder. This is supposed to be a punishment, and she'll make it feel that way. After all, this is a horrible, horrible person we're talking about.

Once they reach the bathroom, Fluttershy turns the water on and reaches for the soap.

Oh, and there's a mirror in the bathroom.]

[vexed_snake]

[Mirrors are the first thing Asakura looks for upon entering a room, and for good reason. Even though his ear hurts thanks to all that tugging, he's still got his hands free. He'll just remove a small purple box from his pocket...

Fluttershy, you like animals, right? How do you feel about snakes? Because there's suddenly a very large purple cobra hissing on the other side of that mirror. If it's not noticed immediately, it will poke its head through the mirror and hiss more loudly.]

[shy_kindness]

[She has a few pet snakes, actually. She also has a few pet rats, skunks, bears, bats, flamingos, squirrels, turtles, seals... the list goes on.

She doesn't notice the snake, too far focused on rubbing the inside of Asakura's mouth with the bar of soap. She's going to clean vigorously.]

[vexed_snake]

[There's a bit of confused struggling and sputtering on Asakura's part, because he's never had anything like this happen before. That wasn't at all how his parents disciplined him (because clearly whatever they did try worked so well), and everyone else in prison was much too frightened of him to attempt anything weird involving soap.

Venosnaker is a cobra of very little brain, so it's sadly incapable of finding amusement in its master's predicament. It is, however, slithering out of that mirror and into the bathroom. The room is probably getting crowded now; Venosnaker's a very big boy.]

[shy_kindness]

[The Flutters begin to notice that the room is getting crowded by a giant snake. 'Shy pauses from the mouth washing and glances over to the snake with a pleasant smile on her face.]

Excuse me. I hope you don't mind, Mr. Snake, but it's getting just a teeny bit crowded in here. I hope you don't mind waiting outside...?

[vexed_snake]

[Venosnaker seems to mind waiting outside, and to voice this irritation, spits a bit of acid. Sure, that toilet is now destroyed, but the good news is that Asakura won't be able to use it to give anyone a swirly later on.

Asakura's sputtering because of the soap, but he's using Venosnaker's distraction to hold that purple box up so the mirror can see. He's wearing a very unusual silver belt now.]

He's here for me.

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy's kind of in the middle of something. She's going to repeat herself firmly. And with The Stare.]

Would you mind waiting outside, please?

[vexed_snake]

[Sorry, boss, you're on your own. There's an audible whimper from the snake, and he slithers right back into that mirror. At least it brought Asakura the chance he needed to spit out some more soap.]

Henshin.

[He's slid that purple box into his belt, and...however will you clean his mouth out now that he's transformed into Ouja and is wearing armor that matches that snake so nicely?]

[shy_kindness]

[Woah, when did he change into that? Fluttershy blinks. Then recovers quickly, her Gaze turning back into The Stare.]

Not so fast, mister! Just because you're in a costume, it doesn't mean that's going to keep you out of receiving your punishment for doing those awful, horrible things!
