<LilacPetals>|| There’s no bargain || Something along those lines, Kaz had said the night before. And though he was right, there shouldn’t have been, if ajax learned anything at all in the cult was- you take opportunities when they were handed to you. It may be stupid, she knew that much, but- what if it was true? What if she really COULD get kaz out of this whole mess? That’d pay him back for allowing her to stay there! She wanted that. So, with nerves in toe, she’d head to the pub, shaky breaths echoing up to her ears while people passed by, in and out of the bar with little care of the world. This is where Ra had been before- and though she wasn’t sure how long she’d have to wait, she knew- well, at least strongly anticipated- that she’d be here awhile. So she sat at a table, twirling a straw around in a glass of water and peered around the room. People watching could be fun… Right? | | | Meanwhile, Gemini had been pleased to say the least. And it showed when he let her coordinate this. Gem stood outside the old van, leaning back against it with dusted jeans and a huge lack of amusement. Park? Perfect. He waited for the small boy to hop out from the drivers seat and walk around it- eyes wide with confusion and… Fear? “cmere.” Gem muttered, grabbing the back of his neck and tugged him closer, walking up onto the sidewalk and sat down on a bench, seating the child next to him and resting his arm across his shoulders- blade trickling out of his sleeve and pressing into the back of the kids neck. Capri should have tagged along, the plan was to load them into the back of the old police van. Whether or not that would work was why the child was there… Or rather, the leverage.

 

<Whitelupine> Unfortunately Ajax would not wait long. The orange haired cinis walked into the pub, the sun seeming to make his hair ignite when the rays touched it. His little pipe fox was not with him, he’d let Meekee stay home so the little guy could sleep after the long night he’d had. Ra would look over to Ajax and give a bit of a wave before walking to the bar and ordering himself a coke with only a single shot of whiskey. He’d not sit down because his bottom still hurt from the gun shot as he sipped his drink. // Capri was excited, and it showed, despite being taught to hide emotions the odd smile on her face beamed as she got out of the van and looked to Gem. She had a cattle prod hidden within her hoodie. She would cross her arms and lean back on the van to wait. She looked to Gem with that cold blank eyed smile, her eyes falling on the kid, the leverage, the bait. Now, they just wait.

 

<LilacPetals>Ajax felt horrible about this. But- thisi s how she was taught to think, this is how she figured it worked. Thisi s how it had been working and this is how she was going to carry it out. Slowly, she waved back and stood- walking over to him and cleared her throat “H-hey, Ra.” She nodded “I was wondering if I could have some assistance. I- I have a job opportunity next to the park, remember when Tina said I could find them? W-well I found one” not … technically a lie “And I was wondering if I could have a ride there? I don’t know my way around the city just yet and- I really want to get this.”

 

<Whitelupine> Ra sipped at his drink calmly, thinking to Lucretia and planning on picking up a dozen blue roses for her, he felt weird to admit to himself he might actually be caring for someone on a deeper level. He was brought from his thoughts by Ajax’s approach he’d look to her with his ears turned forward and listened. “I can, when do you need to be there?” he asked calmly and took another drink.

 

<LilacPetals>“now.” She answered “Uh- It… its now. “ She didn’t know how job interviews worked!? She fumbled her hands around “I can… pay back for gas if you need me to when its over.” She glanced to the door and let out a slow exhale “Sorry for always interrupting your drinks” she added, a tiny laugh following in suit.

 

 

<Whitelupine> Now?? Ra would blink a bit and look at her. “At five in the afternoon??” he asked with a raised eyebrow, his ear twitching suspiciously.

<LilacPetals>“Oh.” She glanced around “I walked here- I thought it was later than it was.” She was trying to redeem herself “it’s at six. I don’t… I on’t have a watch” she held her hands up “If I go now do you think they’ll talk to me sooner or- do I have to wait. Do I get it automatically? I don’t… I don’t understand this stuff” she whined. She honestly didn’t but hey it worked in her favor, right?

 

<Whitelupine> Ra huffed a bit, he wanted to help this girl, like he’d said the night before, he understood what it was like to be down on your luck, his adoptive father had been a homeless war veteran. Even though she said she wasn’t homeless, he knew the look of someone with zip for cash or luck. “You would be able to get there early and wait, it would show you are eager to join their working place. Come on then” he said and turned to put money on the bar for Harry then walking for the door, his tail swaying slowly as he limped a bit.

 

<LilacPetals>“ohh. Okay” she answered. Good to know for the future. Why wouldn’t she get job advice from the man she was about to turn over to a cult, yah?! Y-yah!? Oivey. She quietly, quickly walked out after him and bit her lip “You’re a good man, y’know that right?” She asked, peeking up to him. She wanted to apologize… But she knew she couldn’t give anything away.

 

<Whitelupine> Ra reached for the door then stopped when she said he was a good man, his ears went back and his tail drooped a bit, his gaze fixed on his reflection in a window. “… You cannot make that judgment when you do not know me… you only see me here and now….I am not a good man. I am just a worn one.” With that he would walk out to his bike, wait for her to get on, then drive off for the park.

 

<LilacPetals>Ajax, out of many things she’d learn that day – found out that she didn’t like bikes. She hated them, in fact. Sharp nails would dig into ra, eyes wide and arms wrapped around him as tight as they would go. She was like a cat taking a bath, whines of nausea wavering in and out while they drove. Nope- hated it. Did not want, did not like did not anything about cars. She would walk everywhere now for sure. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE PARK (BECAUSE PLAYER AINT GONNA PLAY STOPSIGNS AND TURN SIGNALS) she slowly wobbled off, stumbled a step, and braced her arms out “I do- I do not..” She shook her head, swallowing “I d’not like that” A glance back to him was given and she closed her eyes to gain her balance back before just as quickly opening them to look around, finally catching Geminis stare from the bench a few yards away “Ra…” She looked back to him “could- could you wait with me? I’m nervous.”

 

<Whitelupine> Ra dead panned the entire ride when he felt the nails in him. Wishing he would have had the built in sissy bars raised before taking off. At the park he would coast to a steady stop and put a leg down so she could get off. He’d snort to her “Really? You seem so at home on the bike.” The sarcasm is strong with this one. He’d get ready to go when he heard her ask to stay. He blinked and looked at her, something in his mind told him to leave, to just drive off and be all bye bye lady! But, he swung his leg off his bike and turned it off. “Alright..” he said calmly and walked to her. //// Capri perked when she saw the Cinis’ roll up, she looked over to Gem and nodded yup, he’s the one she waited for Gem’s cue however, always would wait for Gem’s cue.

 

<LilacPetals>Ajax sighed “Thank you” she said softly “don’t know how much that means to me” Yoooou should have listened, Ra. She walked down the sidewalk, keeping in toe with Ra before stopping at the bench. Gemini glanced to Capri, giving her a small nod before standing up and tugging the kid with him “Ajax.” He muttered, looking between her and Ra. Capri would be told to get behind them beforehand, so he expected her to listen. “Cinis.” He purred out “I’m not going to waste your time just as you’re not going to waste mine. You are going to walk down this sidewalk, you are going to keep quiet, and you’re not going to try anything funny or this child will be slaughtered and his head will be force fed to you.” He yanked the kid closer to him “Ajax- you, too.” || Her, too? Ajax stepped back, shaking her head “but you said- you-you said I- could go? You said I’d be okay to go? You said If-if I brought him that you’d leave Kaz and me alone.” || Gemini rolled his eyes and sighed “Shut up. I did no such thing. Capri said I would… apparently think about it. Which I did and decided not to. Now shut the f-k up, walk down the sidewalk and get. Into. The back. Of. The van.” He growled, eyes locking onto Ra “Move!”

 

<Whitelupine> Ra walked casually with his bit of a limp, never been one for emotional support or that suff, when Ajax stopped before the man on the bench he waited patiently, then, paid closer attention to what was being said, something about a kid getting killed if he didn’t get in the creeper man’s van? /// While Ajax and Ra spoke to Gem Capri would move behind them, slowly pulling the cattle prod from her sweat shirt /// “Wait brought me?? …. YOU!” he looked to Ajax and snarled loudly then looked to Gem and the child, his teeth bared “We are not going anywhere with you...” his eyes narrowed slowly. /// Capri would cock an eyebrow and turn the prod on, looking to Gem to ask for permission to zap this bugger.

 

<LilacPetals>The yell caused Ajax to flinch “I- I’m sorry! He said if – he said if I did that he’d leave Kaz alone. H-he said he’d leave me alone. I-“ She whimpered and quickly turned around to stare at Capri and that god forsaken… Thing. She stepped forward, Gemini backing up and grabbing a fistful of the kids hair to tug him back with him “Fine then.” Gemini smirked “Capri please show him what happens when you don’t listen.” || Ajax snarled back at Capri, “Don’t you dare” the words were a growl, deep in her throat while she walked to put herself between the two of them “You said you’d tell him to leave us alone!”

 

<Whitelupine> To say Ra was mad would be an understatement, to say he was angry, would be an understatement, to say he was full out furious and pissed, that too, would be an understatement. Something about Kaz… Kaz had trusted this girl, and she’d done this. /// Capri’s smile widened even more than seemed possible and she stepped forward, brandishing the prod “Oh dear, did I say that? Oh Gem, I’m sorry I forgot to mention we’re supposed to leave them alone” she waited a second then as if Gem had responded “There I told him, now… this part might come as a, shock” She’d just the prod out right into the middle of Ajax’s stomach “GET IT??!! SHOCK?!” She cackled then yanked the prod back. /// Ra would snarl and lunge forward /// “AWW you don’t like puns?!” she said then stuck the prod, right, to, his, chest. Needless to say, Ra hit the ground like a ton of bricks, convulsing as the electricity flowed through him. “Awwww I hoped he’d take more. Capri cackled.

 

<LilacPetals>Ajax couldn’t dodge the prod fast enough and the zap of electricity sent her hitting the ground with a choked cry of pain, rolling into a ball and hugging her stomach. She strangled out a small sob and tried to get air back into lungs that refused to inflate. Did not like electricity sam I am. Gem sneered, rolling his eyes and grabbed the kid up, carting him off to the van that was driven ONTO the parks sidewalk and pulled up beside them. “Throw ‘em in the back, Capri.” He muttered, leaning back in the seat “get them tied up and… I wanna talk to you about trying to make deals behind my back.”

 

<Whitelupine> Ra snarled though the pain, his eyes locking onto Ajax, traitor… liar… dishonorable… He felt his arms jerked behind him and tied. Showing surprising strength Capri dragged the orange Cinis to the van and chucked him into it. //// Capri turned to Ajax and walked over, kneeling down to cuff her hands behind her back and then drag her unceremoniously to the van and throw her in beside Ra. Once they were set to go she’d go to the front of the van and look at Gem. “It wasn’t a deal, I had to think of a way to get them both here, so, I did what I did, sorry if it seemed like I was making a deal.” She explained then looked back to the captives. “Got both in the end though, and I now know where the green one hides out.” She said and grinned back to them. “… can we rough ride them?? Please?” she asked curiously, meaning to do some, wreck less driving, with the hostages.

<LilacPetals>The impact woke Ajax up a little more, if anything, and she rose her head, scrambling back and away from Ra. She kicked herself against the back door and looked down towards the floor- walls, windows, anywhere but directly were he sat “m’sorry” she whispered, graveled tone rising over the sounds of bumpy clutter and talking from the front. She dropped her head back and whined, eyes squeezing shut. “I thought… I thought you could get away- and that would be on them. And… And then they’d leave kaz alone. And-“ She sighed, pulling her legs up to her chest. Noo amount of apologizing was going to get that mans trust back, and she knew she didn’t deserve it. | | Gemini snorted, rolling his eyes “No- are you an idiot? Do you want to draw attention to us? Hm?” He looked over at her, eyes narrowing “also, kill that kid when we get back, hm? Don’t want him telling the others anything. “

 

<Whitelupine> Ra rolled himself onto his side, he couldn’t sit up because of the healing wound in his butt cheek so he settled for keeping his gaze fixed on Ajax, his eyes had lost any sort of kindness and friendship. He growled loudly but said nothing, his gaze locked on her. /// Capri nodded “Oh right… sorry” she said then looked back to the two Cinis then when Gem said to kill the kid she perked up slightly “Alright will do” she said with a pleasant smile. Then suddenly jerked her head to look back when she saw Ra start thrashing around. “I got this.” She said and pulled the cattle prod out again, this time, stabbing it into the Cinis’ gut, another yelp rang out then, silence as Ra went out cold. Capri kicked him then looked to Ajax “Going to have a problem with you too?” she sneered.

 

<LilacPetals>That stupid cattle prod again. She jerked to the side, flinching away from her and shook her head “no, ma’am” she whispered, ducking her face to the side “Let him go, okay? I’ll- I’ll go home and I-“ || Gemini growled,looking back at them “Shut your mouth ‘fore I have her rip your tongue out, Ajax.”he snarled. The church parkinglot was pretty deserted, so pulling into it was no problem. He sighed, rolling his shoulders and got out, grabbing a small bag and tossed it to the curb while he rounded the back and opened the doors. Ajax fell backwards out of the van, smacking her head on the concrete and sent her reeling into a whirlpool of dizziness. He kicked her to the side, reaching in and tugged Ra forward “Capri, drag him inside and get him to the basement then get back up here and teach Ajax here what happens when you run away, hm?” he asked

 

<Whitelupine> Capri looked down at Ajax with a sickening grin and turned the cattle prod on, holding it just inches from her face as the pink Cinis ducked away from her. When the van stopped she’d hop out when Gem opened the door, laughing when Ajax fell out. “Righto sir” she said and grabbed Ra by the back of the shirt and dragged his limp form to the church. Minutes later she’d return and walk towards Ajax slowly, she’d brought with her a bag of, toys. “Wanna play puppy?” she asked and grabbed Ajax’s hair, yanking her up slowly until she was eye level with her then threw her back into the van. “Thanks for letting me play Gem. I got the orange one set up down there, pulled a ton of weapons off of him too for you to go through.” She said with a pleasant smile then hopped into the van, setting her goody bag down.

 

<LilacPetals>Gem smirked, nodding and rolled his sleeves up. When Capri was back, he looked her over, arching his brows “Good girl” he purred out, turning and headed back into the church. A quick stroll down to the basement and he was standing over the Cinis. He pulled his shirt up to stare over his skin- gauging how much damage he could actually do. He hummed, checking bonds and tie downs before allowing himself to go through the weapons on the table. He’d keep them, after all they were free. Back to the cinis, however, he flicked a switch on the table- letting the cold water pour from the hose and quickly held it over his face “wake up” he snapped reachignf orward to give him a good backhanded slap across the face. The hose would be shoved back into the sink, gloves pulled out from the drawer “My mom did this barehanded. But she refused to believe she could die. I’m different than her. Iknow I can die. But that fuels me, hm?” He laughed “Doesn’t mean that I will die by you. Or by Kaz. Just means that I know I can- and I will- but I’ll decide when and where… And how.” He scratched through his hair and rolled out his tools, clucking his tongue against the roof of his mouth while he thought. | | Ajax yelped when her hair was grabbed, trying to scramble up, away- but no, van again. Eyes flashing to the bag she whimpered and shook her head “m’sorry” she whispered “I- I wanted to- I didn’t.. I.” She couldn’t speak, couldn’t form words, couldn’t… Anything. She was scared, and she dun’ goofed.

 

<Whitelupine> The water had him groaning back to consciousness then the slap really did the trick, Ra’s head jerked up and he looked up to Gem, a snarl cracked a crossed his face. “I will rip your goddamned throat out…” Ra’s eyes had changed, they’d gone from an orange, and now had electric blue around the pupils, Binge. “I will personally serve your head to Kaz…” his voice came out in a guttural snarl. /// She smiled brightly as she was praised then Capri would close the van door so they wouldn’t be disturbed. She’d kneel down and pull a battery powered radio from the bag and turn It onto number five on a c.d and turn the volume up, the song was Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz. Slowly Capri would pull a pair of pliers from the bag and walk over to Ajax, moving patiently and slowly. “Why so scared? I thought dogs were happy to be brought home to their owners?”

 

<LilacPetals>Gem sighed and shook his head “whatever. If I had a nickel for everytime someone threatened my life I’d have enough to feed my cinis actual food. Speaking of which do you prefer your slop cold or warm.” He arched his brows, grabbing out his knife and moved up towards his face, letting the blade rest against Ra’s arm while he did. If it cut? Fantastic. If not- he’d just make up for it later. He was testing him, seeing his pain tolerance “You’ll grow to love me, little dog. They loved my mother. They respected her. And you’ll do the same thing. We really aren’t that bad. We just have rules. And you- you’ll understand them eventually. I’ll have you begging for mercy thatwon’t come until I say it does. And then I will replace the god you think you worship now.” He grabbed the chains off the table and fed them along the track, yanking on them a bit in an attempt to get ra to roll to his side, then to his stomach on the table. The setup they had here was pretty good. Some things were broken due to the last.. incident. But otherwise it was nifty. Had ra been made to do this, the chains would then be locked in place so Gem could get to work. || Ajax shook her head “m’not owned by you. Kaz said so. Kaz said I don’t belong to anyone and neither does he. “ She growled, a horridly pathetic lil’ snarl and flashed her teeth- scare her away? Yah? :Dprobs not :C

 

<Whitelupine> Ra’s ears panned towards the man as he narrowed his eyes, he felt the knife cut into his skin and his eyes narrowed slowly. I leave you two weeks and you get fucked up… … now is NOT the time… Oh sure it is… lemme talk to the fuck. I would rather you didn’t … Oh good, he was captured and Binge was back. When a God was mentioned, a rather deep, dark, sinister chuckle left the Cinis’ lips, it was not his voice. “God…. Right…. You think God would ever cast a light on me?” the voice was darker, pitching a bit on syllables, “they say light shines on a dog’s ass every now and then….” He’d grunt as he was rolled onto his stomach “but… they have never met the inside of that dog’s ass… come on then fag, show me wacha got.” //// Capri listened to what Ajax said then laughed loudly “Kaz said that? D’aaaw poor delusional doggy! Filling your head with lies, without us, you wouldn’t be alive dearie. However, look where Kaz and his words have gotten you.” Capri smiled slowly then snorted at the teeth bare. “Well if you’re offering.” She’d grab Ajax’s chin and try to force it open, if she did, she’d use the pliers to rip a canine out by the root. Feel good

 

<LilacPetals>Gem arched his brows, leaning against the table “You always ramble? It’s kind of annoying.”grumbling, he’d grab Ra’s shirt and tear it, looking over his back before flicking an overhead light on “I’m trying to focus so if you could shut up that’d be great. S’not exactly an eraser on this.” he snorted at his own ‘joke’ and ran his fingers down old scars “Ooh- Whas’this?” He asked, walking to face him. Eyes caught sparklies on his ears and he tilted his head, leaning forward and grabbed them “My mother used to hate jewelry. Said it offered indipendant thinking. I don’t mind it- I just don’t think dogs should have something this nice. Why waste it, right? I’ll come back to those. For now let’s focus on this.” and, with that, he leaned forward and started slicing out outlines for the decan circle, making sure to really get the knife in the muscle and tissue to do its job. | | Ajax wasn’t expecting it, though she should have. The tooth being yanked out was a fresh pain she, out of the years she had been there, had not experienced. She yelped, jerking her face away and pushed herself into the corner. Whines, watery eyes and heaving met trickling blood down the corners of her mouth while she focused on Capri “Stopit” she whimpered “Please! Just lemme go. I don’t wanna be here anymore”

 

<Whitelupine> When Gem touched his pendant he snarled loudly and flicked his ear away from him. “Do not touch that…” he felt the hands on his back and his muscled tensed up, the scars beneath Jem’s fingers were rough, Ra remembered the day he’d gotten them and snarled loudly. But, something worse than the fingers, when the cutting began Binge abandoned Ra to his torment. A loud cry rang from the Cinis as his body jerked to try and get away from the pain. //// Capri tossed the tooth away nonchalantly “Only way out is death sweetie. And well, I don’t have permission to kill you. Hell, even in death you’d still belong to us… our poor Mama left this world but she’s still with us… oo… Mama.. that gives me an idea” she’d go to her bag and pull out a collar, a special one, one fighting kangals normally wore, the inside of the collar was coated in barbed spikes to keep the dogs from pulling. Capri walked back over with the collar and locked it around Ajax’s neck, giving it a bit of a twist to make sure it fit right and to probably cut into Ajax’s neck a little. “Just for you. Now…” she’d pull an exacto knife from her pocket and shoved Ajax onto her side, grabbing her arm and cutting away whatever sleeve was there. Then, slowly, carefully, she began to carve a name into Ajax’s flesh. Her eyes focused as she sat on the girl’s hips.

 

<LilacPetals>Gem sighed, a smile pulling his lips “Not so tough now, are you big boy? “he purred, switching tools to curl up and under the chunks he needed gone. “See,” he cleared his throat “We run a very tight ship around here and we like our members to listen.” He looked towards the door “ajax out there- she’s a gullible little one. Thinks she can do right all the time. But she messed up, didn’t she? And you’d like to see her punished for that, wouldn’t you?” He grabbed the water, rinsing it across Ra’s back. “I can promise you that’s being taken care of. But you- you’ll eventually be as vulnerable as her. And it’ll be great. Because you will see- you will see without a shadow of doubt why people hate us so much. But- then you’ll be conflicted. Because behind that hate will be complete, utter, unwavering devotion. S’beautiful, really.” He went silent while he continued to cut, pull, yank away pieces of skin “Ra is a god, no?” he asked, peering down to him “no doubt one who isn’t going to help you in this circumstance. “ he chuckled. He paused to give Ra’s back a break, walking up to his ears, holding them steady before pulling the gauges out and tossing them onto the table “I’ll see how much those’ll go for- you wont need them after this, anyway.” And back to the back he went. || Ajax screamed, the tone matching the music and just barely rising above the bass. Her neck hurt, her arm was burning- she hated this, hated them hated herself “Stop!” she barked, sputtering blood onto the floor of the van. She was missing a tooth, missing her pride and she was slowly losing her sanity through this. A growl replaced shaking heaves until finally enough gall was built up to thrash to the side and aim a bite at Capri- anything, she wanted to grab ahold of anything. Arm? Face? Side? BOOB? She didn’t care, man. She just wanted flesh.
