Chapter Text
Vi had been uncomfortable ever since Caitlyn had set her purse down on the coffee table. For two reasons, 1 she never did that and 2…what was that doll hanging from her purse. It sent a shudder down Vi’s spine.
Once Caitlyn had made her way back into the living room, from adding more ice into her iced coffee because. “The new barista just doesn’t get it I ask for more ice!” Apparently.
Vi could not keep her eyes off the weird little creature attached to Caitlyn’s purse, something about it triggered her fight or flight response.
“Vi?” Caitlyn asked once she had set her iced coffee on a coaster.
“Hm?” Vi looked up, although some of her of her was still wary of the dolls presence.
“Did you hear me?” Caitlyn said, her brow furrowed as she tried to read Vi’s expression.
“Sorry, what were you saying baby?” She asked.
“That for lunch Jinx wants to go out, to some new market in China town.” She repeated herself, her eyes following Vi’s to the little labubu on her purse. She smirked but swallowed it quickly deciding to let Vi fight her inner demons about it.
Vi “sat” on Jinx’s couch, it was basically impossible to properly sit on. As it was so deep, not even Caitlyn could, she always opted to sit on one of the chairs which was dubbed “the Kiramman Throne.”
Vi scrolled through her phone as Isha sat next to her watching what she was looking at as well, Jinx was getting dress.
Ekko was lazily laying down and Caitlyn was in her chair.
Isha gasped as she snatched the phone from Vi, pointing at the little demon creature that plagued her instagram feed. Isha bounced up and down as she showed Vi.
Quickly signing “want.”
Vi just stared, “that thing?” She signed back.
Once Jinx entered the room Isha sprung up, showing her Vi’s phone.
“I know we will get you one.” *she said as she signed. No one NEEDED to sign to Isha she could hear just fine, but they wanted her to learn so she could communicate with them easier.
“Get her one? That demonic little thing.” Vi asked as she struggled to push herself out of the “couch.”
It basically swallowed everyone who sat in it.
"Yeah, I mean Cait and I have one. Should we get you one too?" Jinx asked as she helped Isha get her shoes on.
"I'd rather die."
Caitlyn's arm was laced through Vi's as they made their way down the rough street. Isha was skipping in front, as street vendors yelled to get peoples attention. The smell of fried foods wafted through the air.
That's when she saw it. A wall of them, of those demonic little shits.
"Why are there so many..." Vi stuttered as Caitlyn's arm fell from hers, she was already picking up ones helping Isha choose as Jinx got a blind box.
Ekko yawned, "The labubus?" He asked.
"Labu...bu??" Vi looked dumbfounded, still very uncomfortable as their little devil eyes bore into her soul.
"Do you want one Vi? Maybe the one that matches your hair?" Caitlyn asked, holding the doll up to Vi's hair. She instinctively flinched away from it. Caitlyn had to hold back a laugh.
"Nah Im good." She said her hands shoved into her pocket.
When they were sitting down for lunch, Jinx dug into the box. Getting the one she wanted apparently from her reaction. Isha had her own as well and she did not let go of it.
Vi tried to distract herself with the food she was eating and not the little shits staring at her.
