Zipper was at once ecstatic, the sounds everywhere, and incredibly confused about why. They were also very unsure about this turn of events. Tapi's appearance had ruffled the fear inside them, as it always did, but it was a well known feeling. A comfortable fear even. The unicorn though, her appearance had spiked a new fear, and Zipper was unsure why. She hadn't looked particularly dangerous. No more then any other cult member anyways. Though her words had held a threat, they had only confused the poor monster more.
Queen. How could the unicorn be their queen if Tapi was their leader? Tapi never claimed to be a queen though. She only dolled out punishment when one stepped out of bounds. Or fixed you up if you found yourself in pieces or mangled or any of the various reasons your body was no longer a proper vessel for your flame. As for the souls kept by the cult leader, Zipper couldn't tell you if they felt different now, with flames in their ears, then they did back when a soul rested in their flesh. They didn't have the wax then. They liked the wax. The forest seemed to obey the unicorn, Famosity, Zipper heard someone call her. Zipper liked the forest too, it was full of many interesting things. But none of this gave them any idea what they should do now.
Zipper took the cheese they'd been nibbling serenely, and scurried into a corner. For once, they made not a sound. There was no need, as the other cult members shouted, talked, cried, fought, or screamed their frustration, fear, hope, anger, joy, or determination out into the air. Zipper just didn't know what to do, who to join. So, they decided to wait, to watch and see what would happen next.

Cirrus dodged another flying object thrown by a fighting cultist, considering whether they should join in with something. They knew where their loyalties lay- with Tapi, of course. She absolutely terrified them, but it was a fear that kept things in check, and got things done. Plus, her literally owning their soul was a pretty good incentive to stay on her good side. While they were thinking about this, the chaos in the was a getting a little overwhelming and they didn't even know who was fighting who any more. Seeking a refuge to collect their thoughts, they spotted a corner that seemed to have less... flying objects than the rest of the room. Navigating their way to the corner, they noticed Zipper was already there. There was enough room for both of them so Cirrus carried on anyway until they were floating next to the waxy creature. They gestured to the rest of the room. "This is pretty intense, right?"

Zipper perked up at the sight and sound of a familiar being.
"Intense. Yes. Zipper is very confused though." They paused, taking a nibble of the cheese they still held. Unseen, beneath their cloak, wax had begun to seep from the extraction points, wrapping comfortingly around the monster. The watched as objects, decorations and food dishes mostly, flew through the air. It almost looked like the group was simply playing, being very rowdy. If it wasn't for those that had obvious injuries, it may have even looked like something fun.
"I've never met the unicorn one before. Famosity. Is she really our queen?" Zipper looked at Cirrus questioningly. Honestly asking, as they had no idea. Zipper had attended the party only partially because Tapi had invited them, mostly they'd attended in hopes of meeting many, many new friends. So far, it had not turned out how they'd hoped it would.

Cirrus shook their head. "No, I don't believe so- I think it is more of an honorary title that she gave herself." Although they had not been there when it all began, they had often overheard things about Famosity during the time that they had been in the cult. It had been a while before they had been able to put the pieces together, so they could understand Zipper's confusion. "She used to own the forest, and she wants it back." True, Tapi's methods of taking the forest may have been a little... inhumane, but without these things happening Cirrus wouldn't be nearly as good at permanently holding their watery body in the shape that they wanted it to be, so they were thankful.

"But why be angry at everyone. That's just silly. You shouldn't get angry at everyone when one person does something bad to you." Zipper frowned. The crowds had dispersed a bit now, there were still a few groups, but they seemed to be mostly those siding with Tapi. Those who had joined the unicorn's vendetta had escaped to the forest for now.
"And the manor is nice too. I think she should have just asked Tapi. I'm sure she could still be queen of the forest, with Tapi as the leader of the cult." Zipper huffed. The wax bow tie they'd worn had vanished, joining the wax beneath their robe. Their face scrunched up as they thought through what they knew of the mansion and those within it.
"No, this is wrong. Tapi has kept us safe and it's been good. Famosity is just gonna hurt people and make people hurt people. And if she hurts Tapi then the won't even be able to come back." Zipper shook their head, scrubbing at their face and making a frustrated sound. "Bah, but to stop her we'll still have to hurt people!"

"It doesn't look like she is going to negotiate." Cirrus replied, shrugging as they said it. Noticing Zipper's bow tie disappearing, they considered mentioning it but decided not to. Their own outfit was the same as it had been for the original party- just because it didn't go as planned, doesn't mean that they couldn't keep the cute look. At Zipper's next words they pulled a conflicted face. "It is wrong. We just need to get them back here so that everyone can finish the party!" Cirrus smiled brightly at their own words as if the room was not full of chaos. "The decorations are a little broken, but I'm sure that they can be fixed. After all, this hall seems to just change to whatever is needed. All we need is the people!"
