CAPTIVE GAME: WILD CITY & Worldbreaker

[idolpro]

[ You're in a room with no doors or windows, about the size of a living room. Depending on how many of you are around, it might feel a little cramped. The walls and ceiling are draped with fabrics, the floor covered in colorful rugs and piles of sitting cushions, but you can see the dirt ground and untreated wood walls peeking through in places. There are three or so oil lamps to light the space, each placed on a stump-like round little table that isn't big enough to hold much else. It's kind of cozy, but...

Most of the cushions are embroidered with an array of colors, but there's one pillow in particular, set aside from the rest, that's one solid color – Challah's position color. ]

[ on another pillow sits Worldbreaker, with his ankles tied together and his hands bound behind his back. he's tied with normal, if sturdy rope with no magical properties, using normal, if sturdy knots. it's possible to untie him if you want. if he's particularly resourceful, it's also possible for him to escape. ]

Hang on, all we need t'do is make him cry.

Re: CAPTIVE

[presentational]

Oh, do you want to go first? Sorry, I didn't mean to take your spot.

Re: CAPTIVE

[goodtoolboy]

No, I don't care who does what. I just wanna make sure we get back whoever they took from us as fast as possible. What's the fastest way t'make someone cry?

Re: CAPTIVE

[presentational]

If we go for his eyes he probably can't cry, huh.

[ thinking for a moment ]

The nose is a good target. Oh, and the groin. Hands aren't bad.

Re: CAPTIVE

[goodtoolboy]

...groin, maybe... I don't think straight up pain will work. Would you cry from torture?

Re: CAPTIVE

[bad_crowmance]

[ He can't exactly wave with his hands tied up but he does shoot him a smile. ]

Re: CAPTIVE

[goodtoolboy]

I don't suppose you're an easy crier?

Re: CAPTIVE

[bad_crowmance]

Unfortunately, I broke my ability to cry a long time ago. You've got a lot of work ahead of you. But good luck!

[everylast]

Ah, it's you.

[bad_crowmance]

It's me!

[goodtoolboy]

[oh my god, of course]

What fuckin' assholes... They couldn't even wait for it.

[everylast]

[ That was ... immediate.

There's, at first, the thought of just what did BAD END=DEAD END do to their captive, in order to rescue Worldbreaker so quickly...?

... And, then, there's the stomach-sinking, icy-veined feeling that they can't rescue Challah, now.

He balls his hands into fists at his sides, and--- a darkness crosses his face that hasn't been seen, before. ]

[presentational]

[ when their hostage vanishes, an irritated scorpion drops to the floor, and then circles the empty chair, pincers snapping with agitation

He feels you, buddy ]

[everylast]

... Is this some idea of a sick joke?!

[ His voice breaks, deeper and angrier and ... quite a far departure from the soft and gentle himbo prince he's presented as thusfar. ]

[presentational]

[ turns back to human form, loosely curled up at the base of empty chair. ]

They got to it faster than us.

[everylast]

And, now, Challah suffers for it.

[goodtoolboy]

[oh my god]

Already?!

[everylast]

And now these demons just plan for us to "sit nice" and "wait" [ those words come in a sour, mocking tone. ] as we're unable to do anything to save someone dear to us, I suppose?

[ his tone is deeper, angrier, with venom and hate and darkness and is almost a complete 180! from the soft uwu himbo prince presentation he'd had up until now. ]

[goodtoolboy]

[stuffs his hands in his pockets]

...this is my fault. We should've just busted his nose right away. ...I dunno what makes people cry, I thought we'd have more time.

[everylast]

[ ...It is, in essence, his fault, but Horizon has enough grasp of himself not to say that right now. ]

...

We need to gather the attention of the hosts. We'll force them to return Challah to us.
