CAPTIVE GAME: ☆ZRAEL & Senpai

[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 – Raven's position color. ]

[ on another pillow sits Senpai, 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. ]

[ He should be way more concerned about his current predicament, but


well he'll get there, maybe. ]

What the fuck was that about?

[ He recognized both of them but like. ]

He got nuttier after graduating?

[ Wait a second.

THIS IS A PEP PEP ]

--Who-?

Re: CAPTIVE

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ honestly he's seen her around at at least one Live by now so he knows she's friends with at least some of Pep!Pep! ]

Yo. Name's Senpai.

Re: CAPTIVE

[hissterics]

[ Did they really give them Pep's innocent newbie (lol) to torture. Did they really.

Her ears pin back, tail lashing. ]

No-- no! This is stupid!

Re: CAPTIVE

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ honestly

he feels a lot worse for her than he does himself. ]

Don't worry. I'm a bastard, so I'm going to get what's coming to me. But I'm not a snitch. 'S far as anyone needs to know, you were never here.

Re: CAPTIVE

[hissterics]

That's not--!

[ What she wants . . . is it? Word will get out eventually that it was Zrael.

What would she do if it were one of the peps she actually knew? ]

. . . What'd you do to deserve it, exactly?

[rollplayinghouse]

[Glory's look is decidedly unfriendly, but]

...He's run normal games before. Like the kissing one.

I don't know what's going on.

Re: CAPTIVE

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ I mean, that's legit. ]

Yeah, I remember that. And he wasn't calling himself Layli or Layla or whatever before, either.

Re: CAPTIVE

[rollplayinghouse]

Well, there's nothing we can do about it now.

[a beat, and then, matter-of-factly:]

We're going to get our captive back.

Re: CAPTIVE

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ he shrugs his shoulders ]

That's the name of the game, isn't it? Best of luck to you all.

Re: CAPTIVE

[rollplayinghouse]

Smug, aren't you...?

[Well. After Doodle removes his emotional restraint, she'll give Nightmare Vision a try.

They've been torturing him for a while already, blood pooling on the floor, cloth wrapped around his eyes. The pain is easy for him to handle, but by now it's a constant fog over his thoughts, the experience a blur. How long has it been...? It seems like days.

Someone pulls the cloth free, and he can look down at his body. His body which looks... different than he remembers it—more washed out and monochrome, and he can't tell if it's just his vision or if his legs are starting to go translucent below the knees. Maybe it's not the pain that's making his brain fog. Maybe he's starting to fade away.

Glory looks him over. "You're really trying to hold out, aren't you? But there's only so much longer you can last, no matter how strong you think you are. You'll lose everything about yourself if you keep going."

It's true. There's nothing he can do to stop it. If they keep him tied up here much longer, he won't be able to even remember why he's here.

She leans in to look him in the eyes. "Or, a few tears is all it takes to end it."]

Good day~ ☆

Ah, how unfortunate it is that we have to meet this way... ah, but I will have to do my best to make a good impression regardless... ♪

Re: CAPTIVE

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ Well. He's gotta laugh. ]

Good day for a torture, huh? At least you're easy on the eyes.

Re: CAPTIVE

[regale]

[ SPARKLES ]

Ah, that's no good. Are you someone who likes clowns?

Re: CAPTIVE

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Clowns?

...

I'm not sure I have strong feelings either way...

[ someday though the answer will be a resounding No. ]

Re: CAPTIVE

[regale]

Hmmm... ♪

[ Anyway, just gonna sit on his legs for a moment. ]

Ahh, I don't want to torture someone like you, but it seems that is the role we've been given today.

Re: CAPTIVE

[avestan]

Yo.

[just going to go ahead and use mind crush to remove his emotional restraint]

Re: CAPTIVE

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ emotional restraint crushed. ]

Yo.

Re: CAPTIVE

[avestan]

So we're gonna need you to cry. Got any recommendations on what'd make you sad?

Re: CAPTIVE

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ he laughs ]

Honestly, not a clue.

Re: CAPTIVE

[stakesthesame]

...

[ just starts. Laughing.

It's all bitter and humorless. ]

Oh, you're BACK!

Re: CAPTIVE

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ warily ]

For a couple days now.

Re: CAPTIVE

[stakesthesame]

Just good luck they put you here with me today, huh.

Re: CAPTIVE

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ snorts ]

I suppose that depends on your definition of "good luck." You do seem to have the upper hand in the arrangements, at least.
