Tripping Contingencies

"So...I hope that cleared up everything," Zhen Liu began to say as he unfused with Hurricroak, "Any questions?"

Zhen Liu's cousins stared at him with mixed expressions as he finished his literal song and dance and then divided into a person and a puppet again.

The four of them had honestly expected Zhen Liu to hit a sour note or break a leg or something with his dance moves...if only they knew that those moves were thanks to some "internal" help.

[Hah! They're stunned!,] Hurricroak gloated, [nothing pleases an artist more than a shocked audience.]

Surprisingly, however, Zhen Xing was the first to talk.

"For starters...I would like to apologize for my behavior these past few years. We're family, it was uncouth behavior on my part."

"Noted and accepted."

"Second...can you teach us how to move like that?"
