#tail troubles

[ask-the-guiding-light-cast]

Out of the cast (except for rebecca just due to new to your world she is) who has used Shane's tails as a pillow or blanket?

“Well... I might’ve used ‘em as a blanket... once or twice... or thirteen times.”

Tessa. Can you tell me which one is better. When you devolved you nestled in Zoroark's mane, but now you have basically an unlimited pass to Shane's tails. So which is more comfy?

“Wait, what? Do you have any idea how sensitive our tails are? Just tapping one of Shane’s can make him jolt like he got hit by a Thunderbolt.”

“But, between you and me, they do have a velvety feel to them.”

Silvally, may I bother you with a question? What is having a tail like yours like? It doesn't look very... flexable, and looks super comfortable for when you need to sit, not to mention it looks like a boats rudder.

“I think it goes nicely with my butt!”

Shane, what is it like to have multiple tails? Do they ever get tangled?

“Not really. I can feel all the individual joints, but I’m given to understand that vulpix and ninetales are supposed to move their tails in unison. That’s... something I’ve consistently struggled with. I don’t know how they do it! There’s some kinda dexterity gene I must be missing.”

All of team Radiance. Do you have control over your tails, or if your happy there is no stopping it’s wagging? Or you can stop when it curls around you when you hear something distressing?

“Of course! I wag it when I’m happy and I can use it to swim and fly faster.”

“I mean... I do, but it’s hard to control nine of them, y’know? I always headcanoned that ninetales tails are prehensile, but I haven’t really tried to pick up any objects with them yet.”

“Yes, I have control. My tail’s important for my balance, especially when I’m trying to sense things with my psychic powers.”

“I wish I could, but my tail’s stiff as a board.”

Shane, is it a pain dragging your tails around all of the time?

“I would never drag my tails along the ground. That’s how they get all dirty, which totally sucks!” He glances at his backside. “I mean, sure, it can be a bit of a pain to keep them hoisted up when I’m walking around, but I can handle it.”

“Personally I think you could do with holding them up a little higher.”

“What’s that supposed to mean, huh?”

Tail is getting there... even if it’s the thinnest little tail in the world, if I can get it to his fetlock I will be over the moon.

Hey Shane have you named all of your tails? If so what are their names? And if there all no names how do you distinguish between different tails?

“Why would I do something like that? Is that some sort of ninetales tradition? I usually just number ‘em from left to right... like how we read.”
