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.

Everyone would see each other waking, their screams silent on the screens as they were to watch. There was no escape, no way to turn the simple bed or toliet area into weapons. In each room they would find a simple white suite in the beds for those in humanoid form and a sheet of instuctions of how to act before their "gods" and warning of what would happen if they refused.

Heny woke with her finger twitching, her eye sight bleary she sat up as her stomach sinked. The room, this room was her same previous cell. She whimpered as the horrible memories started to return and scampered to the far corner her eyes nearly glued to where she remembered the door. True fear filled the female keeper's eyes as she tried to meld into the wall.

Corvus snorted and rolled is aching neck, wings flaring he started to fight and tug the chains before his collar released a powerful shock and he screamed once more...a scream everyone heard as their first outside noise.

Isis grinned cooly, a tray of assortment of things beside her she fiddled with a jagged knife, "Merith... The mighty merith finally caught. I will take great pleasure in this y'know...Same with Thor too, admittedly he wont hurt you directly but we have other ways~" she purred her eyes briefly flicking to the feed on heny. In a causaly way she walked over, dragging the dagger softly against his face as if trying to decide, "Oh what to do first...remove a eye? Gut you? Oh sooo many ideas.."

Thaila jerked, his head swivling around as he tried to figure out his barrings he saw matt on the screen and cursed, pulling against the chain he didnt realize the family had hired one of Matthew's workers for him.

Merith froze when he saw the tray. His heart skipped a terrified beat for a moment as his eyes narrowed, his one good eye giving Isis a cool glare, "You seem to be having a little too much fun with this, Isis..." At least they can't hear me, or so, he assumed, as he couldn't hear them. They wouldn't hear the pain. They didn't have to look at it if they didn't want to, either. That's the best he could do. Vanessa watched on in terror, fighting against the chains that confined her as someone would be ready for their fun with Thalia...

Matt wasn't hurt, he just had a headache. They'd actually seen to it he had medical treatment before hauling him here. He was however, very very very pissed off. He swore loudly at the camera and gulped as he noticed what was happening to Merith. Was that the fate they were all going to have? He barely dared breathe. They had to get out of here, he had to save them.. .

He studied the feeds, putting names to faces and hesitated. Tilting his head at the creature fiddling with it's shackles.

"What the... "

Those wings were eerily family.

---

Kay gave up on the shackles and stared up at the camera. Sick bastards, of course they wanted to watch them all suffer. And force them to watch the others too. He looked to the screens, studying each with mounting horror. Everyone was alive, that was something. His heart sank at the sight of his brother and Asher though, he couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. He'd tried, he'd fought hard, but ultimately in vain.

He tugged at his chains with his feet, and tried to shift forms but found he couldn't. Well, this was going to be tiresome.

He explored the room some more. Pacing it as best he could with his feet chained before slumping onto the floor and clawing at the damn things.

---

Mourn found the note of instructions, glared at it as he read it and made a point of shredding it in front of the camera. Fuck.. them.
He wasn't about to worship anyone, especially not these assholes. He was going to bite them, and claw their damn eyes out.

Starr stood, looking around the white room curiously and trying to find a door. She didn't see any paper, so she wasn't sure what was going on here just yet. She clawed at the walls, testing them methotically.

Shane curled up, hiding his head under a wing as he waited to see what would happen next.

Skye frowned, getting up and looking around then picking up the paper to read it and look at the suit she wouldn't even try to wear over her wings.

Sickly Isis grinned, "Oh, I think Thor will be having just as much fun as I am soon enough..." The sound of his shirt slowly being cut open filled the room, a searing pain could be felt as she lightly cut his skin in the proccess.

Heny nearly cowered as the door open, shoving herself as deeply as she could in the far corner as Thor entered.

Thaila head jerked as he realized he was alone, gritting his teeth he tried to see who it was while testing the chains again.

Throughout all of this everyone would be able to watch and listen, but their voices wouldnt be heard through the horror.


~~~~~~

Lai admittedly followed in a worried fashion to the medic bay, hearing about Matthew's injury she had requested to see him once he was out of ER and resting. Admittedly being left alone for longs period of time in the room she also carried a cherry pie with her, since the poor guards at this point were too stuffed by the amounts of sweets she been making Matthew was her next victim.

Matt's attention was drawn back to Thalia, and his eyes widened as he realised what was about to happen. "Thalia!" Oh hell no, fucking NO. He tried to shape space, and cried out in pain as his collar went off. Hissing angrily, he tried again and was shocked again.

Once he'd recovered, he started to feel at the stupid thing, trying to work out if there was any way to remove it. Hell, he was willing to fucking YANK it and rip his own throat out in the process if he could.

The sounds simply renewed Starr's desire to get out of this room. She kept clawing at the walls.

~~~
Shane flinched, irritation setting in as his inborn desire to help was obviously foiled by the situation.

~~~
Skye flinched and looked to the screens, not liking what she was seeing or hearing. She covered her ears and sat down.

~~~
Moone woke, sitting up and looking around for her friends and family. "Skye? Cassie, Mourn?"

Mourn growled low at what he was seeing on the screens and resumed his pacing, trailing his metal claws along the wall, searching for any weaknesses, any cracks.

---

Kay flinched at the sounds, this was going to just get worse. Clearly these guys had decided psychological torture would accompany the actual torture. He decided he rather wanted to get his claws on them.

He looked to the camera feeds and noticed Matt being an idiot.
OH come on brother... he thought.
Then he noticed Thalia and understood exactly. Oh... dear. He watched Matt worriedly. He tried to communicate telepathically, but nope, the stupid shackles blocked that too. All he got was a slight headache.
Oh these things had to go. He went back to trying to remove them.

Asher watched in silence. There was no point in making a sound; nobody would hear unless he screamed, and he certainly wasn't going to give the enemy that satisfaction. He wanted to show his defiance, but there was no point, and he knew it. They'd just distrust him, and he'd be no use to anyone if he didn't have trust on his side.
He lowered his gaze submissively and did his best to ignore the sounds of fear, and to quash his rising feeling of horror as he remembered the people he'd wounded or killed.
Be a good robot. Be a coward. Worship the false gods.
It wasn't so hard.

~~
Ellie threw herself against the walls, screaming in rage. "LEAVE US ALONE!"

Merith glared at Isis, but couldn't say anything as he softly choked while he was trying not to cry out in pain as he blade sliced through his skin. His entire body shuddered as he realized his body did not heal itself. He looked at her, now confused but still angry. "What are you planning, snake?..." Wouldn't it make more sense to be able to have him heal? He was not tormentor but wouldn't that let him last longer?

Sonata paid no mind to the note while she continued to bash at the door until her shoulder was blackened and bruised, desperate to find the kids. Lilian read the letter on the bed quietly before ignoring it completely and turned to stare at the monitors. Shock wasn't able to read it, as he woke up to being a bit of a special case -- straight-jacketed, shackled by the legs, and a collar blinked at his neck. He sat there, watching in silence and was dumbfounded.

The woman in Thalia's room stepped in gracefully. She, oddly enough, looked a lot like Vanessa, with individual differences as the bona-fide arcana scion stepped in with a face mask and dressed much like a nurse. She rolled in with her tray and cabinets of goodies on a small cart, and looked up at Thalia with twinkling eyes, ready to enjoy her great honor Matthew had allowed her to take.

Vanessa watched on helplessly. Quinn looked up at the monitors with her jaw numb from vainly chewing and whined, tears brimming up on her face. Cassi cowered in the far end corner of her room, terrified.


Matthew woke up on the med bay bed, bleary eyed as he quietly watched the goings on of the medical center. He smiled as he watched Lai walk in, and the smile broadened with sparkling eyes and a chuckle as she noticed the dessert that she had brought with her, "Couldn't resist seeing me soon enough, could you?"

"It funnh how quickly friends turn when they learn what the real monster is on the ship isn't it?" She purred, toying with him as she started to make more cuts, watching as pieces of his shirt fell sne causally summoned the salt jar of doom.

Thor sickly smirked as Heny started to shout, plea, scream for mercy while he just causally strolled up to her. "Luckily for you we want the child alive..." He said, dissapointed but pulled out a tiara like object, "Doesn't mean I can't have my fun of course, but sadly I can't bring my knife set to our little play date..starkiller." He put the tiara on the cowering heny head, she shrilled in pain as it seared itself to her skin, blood dripping down her face.

In each room a secondary screened would appear but for Merith and Corvus room.

Thaila jerked and growled at the female, "Fuck off." He hissed trying to kick her.

~~~~~~

Lai weakily smiled, "More along the lines your guards went on strike about eating anymore sweets.." She held this admittedly nervous look while being there, old bitter memories returning she spoke to the doctor briefly about Matthew's injurings.

"Your face..It familiar." He commented, thinking briefly before things clicked, "Oh! You must be one of Lord Thor's offsprings."

Lai openly flinched at such a quick remindered, she mumbled something along the line of yes before excusing herself and focusing on her mate, "Doctor said at least a month bed rest." She sighed putting the pie on the tray.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Merith said between his teeth, the pearly whites grinding against each other. He watched the salt jar appear, and he inhaled a bit, preparing his boy while grinning, "Is salt the best you can do, Isis?" He narrowed his eyes and looked enraged at Heny's scream. "What did you do to her?"

The scion shrugged, taking out a needle and slowly beginning to fill it up with a strange blue liquid while she nonchalantly began humming, London Bridge is Falling Down, before smiling behind the mask again, "Looking forward to this~ You ready?" Thalia's leg merely passed through her body, but his skin would tingle. What could she say? She was pure arcana.

~~~~~~

Matthew frowned slightly at the exchange but said nothing. He frowned further when she mentioned the time span, "A month...? But I have work..."

"salt with a touch of a special poison that is sooo fun to use on flesh..Since well it slowly eats it away." Causally shs opened the lid and slowly poured it on his open wounds, darkly grinning as his flesh began to be eaten away. "And you'll see~"

Thor smirked and causally sat on the bed before commenting, "Syloth.."

Heny eyes widden, and squeezed shut while painfully digging her fingers imto her arms, "No,no no! I didn't..I didn't want to.." She chocked. Imagines on the secondary screen appeared, it showed heny, a heny none of tjd crew knew minus corvus. She weilded some sort of sword, and with a single thrust into the ground the world shook as her eyes glowed.


"Go to hell." He growled, tugging the chains even if it was a uselss gesture he tried to pull away from the neddle.

~~

"And your men can do it for you, with you dealing with the paperwork while in bed." She said stubbornly, taking a carrful seat on the side of the bed. She had this motherly hen look going on as her more mother/wife like instincts kicked in, depending on who was getting it one might of found it cute...

Merith grit his teeth, but his resilience quickly faltered as he groaned and then began to yell, his body going rigid before struggling with the pain, trying to run away from something he couldn't as the chemical smell of toxin and his own burning flesh, watching as his chest and stomach begin to bleed as the exposed muscle and bone began to peek through. "D-Damnit..." He barely noticed the screaming woman, "H-Heny..."

The woman injected Thalia with the liquid, and the keeper would feeling his senses all of a sudden sharpen, including his sense of touch, but at the same time time seemed to almost feel a bit slower for him, "Don't worry dear... I'm not allowed to kill you..."


Matthew chuckled, but looked uncertain, "Okay... If you insist, my dear... Is that for me?" He grinned further.

Ellie buried her face in her arms, not wanting to watch. She didn't want to see her friends like this, ever! Or hear these sounds.
When she got away, she was going to kill these guys with those weird daggers, and they were going to hurt so much. And then she would stomp their faces. Yes. Everything would be good then.
Pretending that the cries of her friends were the cries of her vanquishedx enemies, Ellie found some amount of solace from the pain of existence.

~~
Asher couldn't look away, because he knew his imagination would make it even worse. He watched silently, trying to feel nothing at all, processes working frantically to find means of escape.

Starr turned her head to glare at the tv's then continued her attacks on the walls in a frenzy, growling and trying to force herself to use magic on them until she would pass out.

~~~
Shane didn't move, simply staying in his 'cave' of his wing to block sight. The sounds themselves were bad enough.

~~~
Skye gagged, turning away from the sight on both screens and covering her eyes with her hands.

~~~
Moone stood, looking around the strange room for her friends and family.

~~~~~

Matthew chuckled, but looked uncertain, "Okay... If you insist, my dear... Is that for me?" He grinned further.

Isis watched with a sickening grin, taking a causal seat as the salt did the works.

Thor sickly chuckled, "Oh? What about that one planet? The one you destoryed in rage. I find it hiliarous your friends called Merith the monster when they call you, a killer of twelve planets a friend."

The screen showed the one plabet being destroyed, then another.

Thaila hissed, "Not as if I can anyway bitch." He shook his head trying to kill that feeling.


~~~~

Lai nodded, "Your poor guards deem that I needed a new victims for my sweets." She chuckled, "But I csn't help it that I am going stir crazy." She sighed.

Asher took a slow 'breath'. Twelve planets? Was it true? He shuddered.

Merith's screams eventually started to die down, the steam from the chemical reaction beginning to die down as the toxins had eventually eaten their fill. He groaned as the blood soaked his pants and some of his organs poked through the muscle and bone. He breathed raggedly, the ribs rising, expanding, then falling back into each other. He glanced at the screen, noting Thor's words, and looked pained. No! They couldn't know that... They can't know that... They can't push away Heny... Merith was able to handle the shunning and dark looks -- it was something he was used to, the loneliness, the feeling of being too dangerous to be fit in a normal society. But Heny... She wouldn't be able to handle it. She needed her friends, her family. It was he who was supposed to be an outcast, not her.

The needle pulled away and she returned to the tray, carefully choosing out a carving knife. She looked at him and stepped forward, "Ready~?"

~~~~~~

Matthew chuckled, and tried to sit up while holding his bandaged abdomen. "Hopefully they won't get too lazy from your cooking, heheh..."

Isis smirked, causally leaning in her chin resting on her interlaced hands, "Already, one by one they start to turn..You of course can handle the hatred, but her?" She scoffed, standing while heading to look at her tray she eyed a hack saw, "She would crumble and whither, I imagine in fact the call of death would be welcoming~"

"I..I couldn't control it." Heny cried, trying to claw the damn thing off as she painfully relieved through each memory, each planet she destoryed in vengance, the planets she was force to. The faces of each person she was for to assassinate, some of them children.

All of this would flash on the secondary screen for all the crew to see.

Thaila stubbornly spat in her face, "Once I'm free.." He growled.

~~~

She watched his movement to make sure he didn't do anything stupid, "them? Last I checked you started to gain since I moved in." She snorted, "of which, they doctor said in about a hour you should be transfered back to your ship and quarters." She held this look of relief, obviously wanting off this base.

Asher wanted to go to Heny and hug her, and tell her that he wouldn't hold this against her. But he needed to get on the Family's good side to try and get out of this cell, and that meant showing that his faith in Heny was shaken.
He turned away, as if this news about her past made it difficult to even look at her, hoping he would be able to salvage his friendships when everyone was free again.

Merith's body began to shut down as his vision began to blacken, and he coughed and gagged as his body died from blood loss. He went limp for a moment, not moving, not breathing, and completely lifeless. He hung there, deathly silent for a moment as his body began to heal itself closed again, taking a good two minutes of death as the terror or immortality was revealed, Merith gasping his first breath of a second life, his eyes wide with fear. He had died, and it was painful. He stared at Isis, and it was then he knew, he was going to suffer death over and over again...

The woman paid no mind to Thalia's defiance as she began to do the same Isis did to Merith, carving away his shirt slowly but the blade would shred through layers of skin underneath it as well.


Matthew sat up completely, chuckling, "Yeah, I should start working out a bit more..." He smirked at her, looking pleased and amused at her loyalty, "What? Miss me already, Sweet?"


Jay, Kaleb, and Rey woke on their bunk beds, but none of them left that bed, staring around wide-eyed in terror or else hiding under blankets, like Kaleb. Jay stared blankly at the floor, shocked into a disbelieving silence while Rey began to make a whining noise before is dissipated into loud weeping.

Isis grinned, "And imagine, heny survived that thousands of times." She grabbed a dagger instead gently tracing his back with it.

Thaila let out a painful hiss as tears welled in his eyes, he struggled a little more trying to pull away from the pain.

~~~
"Meh, more just want off this base.." She muttered, but seemed amuse by the sudden pet names, "So it takes you being injured and me bring pie to suddenly get pet names? I see how it is." She weakily teased.

The kids would see others, all mix ages in uniforms. A few looked at them but said nothing as they scampered out of the female "teacher" way. Gently she touched the crying child, "Sweety, whats wrong?" She purred in a caring voice.

"Rey" Moone said the girl's name, going over to the familiar face and looking at the teacher person over her "Don't hurt her, she can't talk" She said a bit defensively

"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?
