Family's base

First topic message reminder :




The ship would fly to the base, landing with ease Merith would be in the cell for a hour before some keeper hybrids would be sent to drag him out. he would be for to go down the prison hallway and was roughly shoved into another spacier cell.



Across from hims a chain being with runes engrave on the shackles sat down boredly, her eyes watching him with curiosity.

"Oh?" She commented, ignoring the girl tone, "She mute then?" Absently she dug through her pocket a d pulled out a necklace and gently handed it to her, "There there, this would let you speak." She said kindly before looking back at moone, "You better line up eith the other ones for your class soon."

Moone frowned and looked at Rey then around for the boys "Where is my sister?" No way was she going without knowing where the others were. "Where are my other friends?

"They are..else where." She said cooly, "Now class please."

Merith reeled forward a bit as the dagger gently slid across his skin, swallowing. So, he was to go through what she did, and he chuckled weakly, "What? Will I get a cool tattoo, too?" Wow, that sounded a lot less terrified in his head. Good job, Merith, Good job.

The arcane scion tilted her head, surprised, "Crying already? We're just getting started... Hmm, it appears you won't be as fun. At least Merith can hold his tears for a little bit." She continued to cut at his bare chest, her eyes getting a nasty glint. "He would have made a lovely puppet to play with, too... It's okay, I can settle with you."


Matthew frowned, looking around before muttering softly to her, "Do you want to talk about it when we get back?" He leaned back, smiling, "You -do- make good food."


Rey reeled back a bit, terrified of the woman, but shakily took the necklace as she tried not to make eye contact. She gently wrapped it around her neck and swallowed, hesitating for a moment before a soft, almost angelic childlike voice echoed through the necklace, surprising herself. It was her own voice.

"I want to see Sonata again. And Lilian. And Vestia and everyone on Vestia." The child began to sniffle, dangerously close to bursting out crying again. "I wanna go back home..." And that was the sentence she meant. Vestia had become somewhat of a home, and everyone there had been part of it. The little girl cowered slightly and began hiding back under her pillows as Jay and Kaleb said nothing, but the fear in their eyes agreed with her whole-heartedly.

Shakily Starr got up, shaking her head as she came back to herself. That had hurt, a lot. She tilted her head, trying to see the collar then trying to get her laws under it to claw or break it off her neck angrily.

~~~
Moone shook her head, folding her arms across her chest "No, I want my sister" She cried out then bit her lip to keep from crying.

Matt watched the screens in terror, then renewed his attempts to remove that forsaken collar. He threw himself against the walls repeatedly, ignoring any shocks as he screamed and raged.

He sank to his knees, panting for breath, tears in his eyes. He couldn't do anything, he couldn't help...
The helplessness was just too much. He closed his eyes, unable to watch, each scream sending a shudder through his body.

"I don't want to be here.. I don't want to be here.. " He repeated quietly to himself as he raised his hands to his ears and curled up.

---

Mourn watched the new screen with a flat expression. He couldn't hear the screaming, nor the revelations. Not that he'd care either way. He'd killed plenty of people and never felt any remorse for it, he was certain he'd kill again, if he had his way, every single person working on this base was going to die horribly for incarcerating him.
He went back to trying to find a way out, the floor, the ceiling, anything. He knew it was a futile task, but he didn't really care, it gave him something to do.

then he noticed the reactions of the others in their cells. He tilted his head.
He studied their cells too, all identical to his own. The magic users had collars, except the winged monster who seemed to have shackles instead. He pondered on that, watching the creature's actions.
Grumpy doctor? He frowned, curious. He mused he'd be pretty grumpy if that's what he really looked like.
There was Skye, but no Moone. What had they done with the younger kids?
He growled softly. What had they done with Vestia? He dreaded to think what they were going to do with that ship, it wasn't like you could really enslave smart ships that easily.

What he really wanted to know was how these cells opened. Surely they'd need to be fed at some point, or someone would enter one of the rooms. He watched closely for any hints.

---

Kay shuddered at the screaming, Heny's revelation however didn't take him at all by surprise. He watched the faces on the screen, lowering his head sadly. Both she and Merith had been driven half mad by this Family, and all for what? What purpose did all this serve other than some sick revenge fantasy?
He watched his brother retreat into himself and shook his head. Matt hated being confined, and he understood that helpless agony of watching someone you love being subjected to such awful pain. His wiped his eyes on the back of his hand. It all felt so hopeless, were they all due for a turn with these psychopaths?
These people didn't deserve this pain, Matt had never hurt anyone in his life, least not that Kay knew of. Starr had been nothing but kind to everyone on Vestia. Skye was just a kid. Ellie was just a farm girl far away from home. Asher... dear sweet kind Asher. There was no way he'd survive all of this. Kay watched the android, wishing he could comfort him.

Wait... maybe he could communicate with them still.

He stood and went to the camera, staring up at it. He reached out a claw and very very carefully tapped the lens, he didn't want to break the camera after all.

Ellie remained curled up, struggling to deny that any of what her senses told her was real. She heard the sounds of Merith's death, Heny's anguish, Thalia's suffering, and she knew they'd be in her head for years to come.
She couldn't bear to look at anyone. If she saw how they were responding to this, it would be even worse. She could imagine their horror, fear, and hopelessness far too easily.

~~
Asher caught sight of Kay's unexpected motion, and did his best to watch him without appearing to do so. He wondered of the family knew Kay was sapient, or if they thought he was just a dumb beast. If they believed the latter, then that could be very useful.

"it a brand." She correct while at the same time digging the dagger into his back, starting l jaggedly cut to expose his ribs.


"Well unlike him I was injected with something that heighten my senses!" He snapped, saying something not so nice in

Heny would collaspe in the corner, her eyes rolled up as she finally blacked out from the mental pain. Thor pouted, "Awe, really? You used to last hours with my games." He sighed amd went to one of the walls pulling out a medical box.


~~~~

Lai nodded, but chuckled at his comment, "You make it sound like your ship cooks didnt do their job well."

~~~

"Well Rey, this is your new home." The cooed, "And you will see the others soon enough okay?" She assured him in a sweet tone, holding her hand out, "Dont you want to meet the others?"
~~~

The female looked at moone cooly, "Child, I highly recommend going to class." She said, a underlining threat in her tone.

Starr looked to the tvs, turning and jumping onto the bed to look at the others and the rooms they were in.

~~~
Moone shivered, drawing her wings in close to her back then looking to the spider kids. She wasn't leaving without them, she wasn't going to lose the only others she knew here.

"They will join you shortly." The female said calmly.

Kay glanced back to the screens. He thought for a moment about how best to go about this. If they were being watched, did he really want them thinking he was more than the monster he looked? He didn't much fancy a collar like the others.
Still, he wanted to reassure the others. There didn't seem much hope right now, but they couldn't give up. If they gave up it'd be a whole lot worse.

He cringed at the screaming again, he couldn't bring himself to look at the keepers and what was being done to them, it was just too horrendous. He may have had a strong stomach, but these were people he considered friends.

He tilted his head at the camera, tapped it a couple more times. tap tap taptaptap
Morse code?

There was no sound feed, but maybe someone could work out the tapping was more than just him fiddling with the camera.

---don't give up---

He did that a few times, then appeared to get bored of messing with the camera and went back to tugging at his restraints, tail lashing in irritation.

Merith began screaming again, though it was a choppy form of screaming, as he kept trying to stop himself but couldn't. His entire body shuddered horribly as she cut out a window in his flesh to expose the skeletal cage. He gasped, blinking back more tears as his body tried to keep his blood pumping, his own adrenaline refusing to let him pass out. Pass out. There was some solace as he watched Heny slump to the floor. At least passing out gave her a little bit of peace, if only for as short of a time as they would let her... He frowned as he watched Thalia's screen. Why him? The boy had done nothing wrong other than try to survive... He went back to himself as his heart beat so fast he feel it would burst.

The scion suddenly chuckled. It was a wild and manic chuckle, and suddenly something flashed in her hands. The scion had produced what looked like to be a large thread and needle made of arcane magic. She began to spin around slowly, still humming her nursery rhyme. The needle slowly began swaying closer and closer to the Keeper's skin...

Cassi only cowered in the corner of her room, terrified and hating the noises of pain, having the common sense to turn away from the screen and she balled herself up, shivering.


Matthew laughed, "They do alright, but there's something about you cooking that makes it all better." He flirted at her, waiting to leave this medical bay, if only for Lai's sake.


Rey sniffled, the wheels turning in her head as she continued to cry again, not liking the idea of this place being her place to stay. But, the woman did say that they would see Sonata and her friends soon enough. After some hesitation, Reyndid take the woman's hand, but looked up at her with wide and scared eyes.

Slowly isis started to cut each rib, break it open, "To think...everything you done finally catching up to you." She purred.

Thor moved and causally rolled Heny over, and started to clean her wounds while whistling boredly.

Thaila growled and tried to jerk away no matter how useless it was he felt his arms scream in pain.

~~~

"Guess I gotta start burning things." She mused, holding this look of relief as it wasn't long before he was transferred back to his ship and quarters. as he was settled into bed she quickly checked the soup she started this morning before serving two bowls on a tray.

~~~~

Gently the teacher helped her up, "Are you hungry?" She asked gently, fishing out a cookie from her pocket.

Starr growled at the screens, though there wasn't anything that she could do at the moment except try to break stuff, and that would only cause her pain. Her tail lashed as they continued to harm her friends like that

~~~
Shane and Skye had both covered their eyes and ears as much as possible to block the torture from them.

~~~
Moone frowned and bit at her lip, but didn't move away from where she stood beside Rey's bed, opposite the teacher lady. She didn't like how that one was being so two faced and being so obvious about it.

Merith yelled and struggled some more before gritting his teeth so hard they soon grew numb and started to ache. "What? Too upset that not only did I help Heny escape, but then the Avian's Creator, and then myself, indirectly?" He forced a laugh from his mouth, "Triple whammy with that one!"

No one heard it, but Shock snorted and would have applauded him had he not been straight-jacketed. Why had he been straight-jacketed?

The needle pierced through Thalia's skin, then out again as the thread slid through under his skin. She hummed, repeating this several times throughout his abdomen until an intricate thread-and-needle design had embroidered itself into his skin.


Matthew gingerly took on bowl, getting it to cool off before he tested it on his lips...


Rey looked shocked at the cookie, but then glanced back at the 'Teacher,' accusingly, not trusting her.

She jerked hard on purposes at the reminder, "Decades of plans ruined by your ass." She hissed bitterly.

As they watched their cells doors would open as repesentives entered the cells, causally studying each one as they flipped through their files of each prisioner.

He hissed in pain, balling his fist tightly he swallowed back the screams of pain that builded up.

~~~~

It was a broth soup with mushrooms, a type of meat and noodles. It was similar to terran Pho but with a sweeter after flavor. She admittedly cheated and used a fork on the noodles while taking a seat on the side of his bed, "You...wanted to talk?"

~~~~

She smiled, "It alright." She assured her, "Go on, take it."

Starr turned to look at the one that entered, jumping into flight to attack him despite the collar.

~~~
Shane startled and stood up, backing away and growling but he didn't attack or anything...yet.

~~~
Skye turned her head to look at the representative then faced the toilet again, trying to keep her last meal down.

~~~
Moone shook her head at the teacher "You honestly expect any of us to trust you people?! You stole us from our families and home." She stated angrily.

Ellie lashed out with her legs, kicking her representative. "Get out, you monster!"

~~
Asher watched his representative quietly, awaiting orders.

Kay stared at the representative, eyes narrowing. He let out a low growl, watching them tensely.

---

Matt didn't look up as someone entered, he'd curled up in such a way to hide his face and cover his ears and had his eyes tightly shut.

---

Mourn's ears flattened against his skull, he hissed and lunged at the figure.

He sighed boredly as her body was painfully shocked, "Your highness this isnt how a royal should act."

---

The female gentle smiled and took a few more steps closer, "Hello half-dragon shane, I am going to allow your collar to let you shift into human form but you can't attack agree?"

----

"Hello." The female said kindly, "Your name is Skye correct?"

----

"this is your home and family now." The teacher said firmly.

All those who attack would be punished by the collar as their 'guests' causally took seats.

Kay's looked at him and calmly said, "I am going to allow you to shift into mortal form, okay?"

Matt heard a gentle female voice say hello, trying to coax him to look.

Asher would see a young male study him, "A truely evolved AI, our lords and ladies would love to have you join us."

And Ellie's waited for her to calm.

Starr growled at the male, clawing at the painful collar. She locked eyes with him and glared unhappily.

~~~
Shane tilted his head a little at her words then slowly nodded. He wanted to be in his normal form, even though it was the only other one he had so far.

~~~
"What did you people do to my sister?" Skye asked, glancing to the female again and wrapping her arms around her belly "And why are you torturing my friends?"

~~~
"NO!" Moone yelled out, shaking her head "Never! My sister will come to find me. You will never be my family and this will never be home!"

Kay looked suspicious, glaring at the representative and clicking his claws together, as if trying to decide if he wanted to attack him or not.

---

Matt raised his head jerkily, staring back at her. His eyes had an unnatural glint to them, and his face remained completely impassive. He just stared at her, saying nothing.


---

Mourn howled in pain as the collar shocked him. The red light of his optic flickered and went out as the robotic part of his brain shut down. He collapsed, twitching and convulsing as his whole body seized.

Asher looked at his representative calmly, forcing himself to set aside his pain for later. This was going to hurt his friends, but it was the only means of escape he could see. "I'm no longer bound by the Three Laws; my owner mistakenly believed me to be in need of freedom, and took them from me. I don't know what you want of a machine like me, but I do know I would welcome the opprtunity to have a proper master again."

~~
Ellie thrashed for a while, but eventually quieted down and looked at her representative with raw hatred.

Merith yelped as she lashed out at him by tearing harshly at his flesh. He hacked up a cough, mumbling, "Whoops, silly me, ruining all your takeover and everything... S-Shit, this hurts..." He only vaguely noticed the others getting company, "Don't you dare fucking hurt them, you bitch..."

Suddenly the embroidery tugged from under his skin, beginning to toss Thalia's body around like a rag doll from the thread, tugging underneath his skin as she continued to insanely giggle.

Lilian looked up when they entered, but suddenly made a motion with her hands as if she were rotating a handle on a jack-in-the-box, and her other hand slowly raised its middle finger to flip the bird, "Hello! I'm so sorry, I don't know how this thing works..."

Sonata looked up, her eyes bright with rage as she held her now blue and black shoulder, and she yelled, "Why is the baby star dragon being forced to listen to this, you monsters?! What did you do to the other children?!" She flew her body at the person who entered her room, going for a roundhouse kick.

Shock also looked up, cheerily going, "Yoo-hoo!" As they entered, "Can I get out of the jacket now?"

Cassi only cowered in the corner more as the person entered, "W-Wanna see Sonata..."

Vanessa narrowed her eyes as her respective surveyor came in, while Quinn looked up from biting the chains, scrambling back both in fear and in anger, and she growled defensively, but her body language gave away her terror as her stomach touched the floor and her ears flattened on her head.


Matthew ate for a while, before nodding and looking concerned, "You... You were uncomfortable on the station. Why?"


Rey sniffled a bit, but began to wail, shaking her head, "My family is Sonata!" Her voice echoed from the necklace, "And Kay! And Asher! And Starr! And Skye! And Cassi! And Heny! And... And..."

"Now, if I let the collar let you shift would you do it without attacking?" The terran looking man ask while taking a seat, studying star.

____

She tapped her bracelet and nodded for Shane to go ahead. "You have a rather odd genetic make up." She commented.

---


"Your friends Betrayed the family." She commented, "And the children are being sent to a proper school. If you behave you will be able to see them." She promised to Skye.

---

"Don't even try it Kay." He said sharply, "The results won't be in your brother's favor." He warned sharply.

___

"Mattius correct?" She asked while taking a seat, "A hybrid corect?"

---

the male sighed and went over and worked on stopping the spasms, "Idiot." He said to mourn.


___

She grinned, "Oh, really? That is wonderful to know. Obviously we would have to test you of course." she said to asher.

---

The male took a seat studying ellie, "Terran, your life could be much better then this hell hole."

---

Isis sneered as she broke his other ribs, preparing to pull his lungs out, "Depends on how they act love."

----

Thaila screamed out in pain, his body shaking harshly.

---

"Tsk, no manners." The female snorted, "you wont be easy to train at all." She glared at Lilian.

---
Calmly the male side stepped sontora attack, "She wont be forced to listen if you listen to what we have to offer...immortal one."

---

"Not going to hapoen Vessel." The male retorted to shock "Your the outcast correct?"

---

Motherly the female came over, "You will soon darling." She promised, "okay? Behave for me and you will." She told cassie


---

Both of vanessa and quinn's guests took a seat, looking at each studying them as they waited to see if they'll speak first.

---

Lai pursed her lips, placing the bowl down, "Most...hybrids are taken there when they are 15, never heard or seen of again. I, was both blessed and cursed to not be picked, but that because as stated by their doctors "my ability growth was stunted". My brother on the other hand wasn't so lucky..but at he didnt have to be raised with a abusive bastard in the house."

---

Both moone and rey was slapped in the face, "Another out bust like this and you will be sent to special class understood?"
