As the pair return to the table they could spot in the time they were both away, two new Monsters had joined them since: Ku-Te and Sigh. The latter was a mermaid (she/her), with a subtle pale blue tint to their anthro-part and a serene glisten to the striking blue scales which adorn her tail. Right now she was currently nursing the base of her tail, applying some kind of cream on it she kept in her bag. Over time, due to it being dragged across the floor as she walked, it had the scales torn off one by one leaving a gap of flesh normally not exposed to the world. This happened ages ago mind, with even a little tattoo of an anchor being placed in the exposed spot. Still with every journey Sigh has to make on her crutches, she needs to tend to the exposed bit, or she may instinctively lean on a part of her tail with scales still on and then eventually THEY fall off and the cycle never ends.

Alongside her is a figure you'd be forgiven for mistaking as anthro-typical, Human even! But the closer you get the more you notice the irregularities, the shoulders hanging a little too low, the translucency of the facial features, how the arms end, just end, suddenly in a way the mind cannot parse with the previous assumption that a living figure stood before them. Their movement, not to call it unnatural, but operates with a slight delay, less a self to move, but to pilot. This observation is astute however, this is a anthropomorphic membrane to be piloted by a bacteriophage by the name of Koo Tea. Monsters do come in all forms, rather stories and mythology can inhabit all aspects of our cultural understanding, even on the microbe level. But much like how giants walks among the mortals, to experience the culture and spoils our world can offer, the same true of those so small and inconsequential that they escape our perception everyday.

Ell also gets back from the bar carrying her Summer Berry cider in a glass and was drinking it through a red stripped straw. As she sat down, both Chloe and Butters begin to glare at her.

-...What? Ell inquires.

-Ummm, our drinks? Reminds Chloe.

Ell does a dramatic slap to her forehead as she leans back in her chair.

-Oh I'm so sorry! It's just I got so excited to see my drink at the bar and that was a new memory which ment haha you know... I'm sorry I'll go gwet them now. Ell sheepishly explains.

-Nawh it's alright I got them.

From the entrance can be heard a rhythmic clanking as a figure emerges from the hallway, bobing up and down as they hop with every step towards the group. It was carrying a tray with both Butters and Chloe's drinks on it, somehow with every jump managing not to spill a single drop of the contents, almost passively as if the figure had this routine down to muscle memory.

-Oh god sorry Xi for putting you out. Apologises Butters.

-No no, it's good, I was just starting my break anyhow. The figure replies.

Everyone knew this guy, he's been working the bar here since anyone can remember, a Jiangshi named Xi (He/Him). A botched necromancy job by some white Human taking up sacred Chinese rituals as "A fun little hobby". The result is the mandarin scrawled on the prayer slip on Xi`s forehead being absolute shambles, thus he still suffers from a little of the rigour mortis not typically found in most modern Jiangshi, alongside not retaining any memories of his previous life.

He eventually makes it to the table, placing the tray of the drinks on the table as, with a slight grimace, he pulls up the seat behind him to sit down with the rest of the table.

-You're just in time guys, Fluu was about to tell us about killing some `Sapian. Explains Chord.

Fluu jiggles around like she was just placed on a tumble dryer, with a deluge of "Bluughs" and "Flwuaas" which implied a denial at the Drowning a Dude allegations.

-I did BLOT drown him! He blhosted me! He fucked and chucked blittle old me, left me to clean up his bluugghhhin` clothes and everything! Protested Fluu.

-Did one of thoese clothing items include a choker by any chance? Asks Butters with a smirk.

-Bluh yes! how did you know?

Butters points to Fluu's torso, which now the crowd noticed it, below the skull that has been floating inside of her this whole time, just a little below it was indeed: A spiked choker. Sigh leans in from next to Fluu and inserts her hand into the Slime to retrieve the collar. Fluu studies the choker a little bit before recognising it.

-Bloohhh, bles! That was his. Confirms Fluu. Well while he's not here to blet it.

The Slime then lifts one of her arm streams and envelops the choker, as it travels up her arm and rests just below her head, where her neck would be typically.

-So do you not think maybe that implies the skull inside you is his? Asks Chloe.

-Bl... Buh... nnnnnNO! No way, I probluhbly picked up on the way blere! Protests Fluu.

-Yeah the common peice of debris on Queen Street: Human Skulls. Quips Lousid.

-Blaybee! They`re very pro-canibluhism these humans, bleed a history book Someblime!

-Aright, alright. Maybe just explain to us what happened with this Human and then your story will y`know... Exonerate you. Xi offers.

-Yeah! Cross-Exterminate the witness! Cries Ell.

-Cross-examine. Corrects Butters.

-No, she'll get so much truth goo in her that she`ll die. Explains Ell.

-So blokay, I meet this Human right? WE go back to mine and then he gooes in my goo.

Everyone at the table in the middle of a sip of their drink nearly ejects it from their nostrils.

-Then afterwards we just watched some telle and fell asleep on the settee

-Ooooohhhh ddeeaarrr. Laments Sigh.

Chord starts giggling to herself as Fluu recounts the story

-Oh I can see where this is going. Quips Chloe.

-And if you can blooelive it when I bluke up the next day he scarbared! Didn't even blake his stuff blith him! Fluu yelled. Looking blown and he's blefd his things in me! Keys, Wallet... A skull he were carryin' I bless? Blhosted me too! Even blhwen I left him nice messages. I shouldn't of blone that, I should've left blorrid ones telling him to bluck oooofffff!!!

-Just throwing this out there, you didn't hear like a weird noise while you were phoning him right? Asks Chord.

-Gosh now you blention it, the ringing on the receiver felt like stereo you know as if the sound was all around me, I never get that from ringing any other blone tho! Replies Fluu.

With the smirk never leaving her face, Chord rolls her eyes as she gets out of her seat.

-I'll let the boss woman know to ring up the MCP, let them know they got a clean up job tonight. Says Chord, as she leaves to go to speak to the pub's owner

Fluu looks around confused as to why Chord is suddenly leaving. As she does this Ku-Te sits in Chord now empt seat next to her and throws one of her tendrils over her shoulder. Despite Ku-Te's flowing movements and moist looking surface of their body, their arms stand firm when exposed to Fluu's slime. Smothering its surface like any other solid object.

-Fluu, we've known each other a long long time right? So I can be blunt and honest with you right? Asks Ku-Te, with small red, blue and green electro lights flicking on and off inside of her membrane, as she speaks.

-....blllyyeeesss? Replies Fluu.

-You stright up murdered that guy, just drowned him completely.

Fluu swipes Ku-Te's tendril away as she swings her arms all around her in a huff.

-Blhy Bis Bleveryblone BULLYBING blee!? Bi just blame Bere to Blluuuave a blood blime!!!! Fluu cries, with her speech becoming more slurred... Blurred? As she struggles to keep her mouth firm enough to produce her words correctly.

-I've heard enough, she's guilty! Declares Ell. Of being cool and in the right with mulching that man!

She then proceeds to knock the bottom of her drink on the table like a gavel as everyone cheers and raises their glass, much to Fluu`s annoyance.
