petrai and roque hang out

[7:56 PM]innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄):

Petrai dragged Roque into the dusty, dark armory, closing and locking the door behind her. She dragged Roque far into the armory, behind a rack of spears and a large locker of armor, into a small clearing. Once there, she forcefully threw Roque into the center of the clearing, briefly departing to gather something.

Petrai came back with a thin strip of cloth, which she tied around Roque's mouth as a gag. She'd shed her coat, revealing the simple black outfit she was wearing, along with a white apron. Surprisingly, her wings weren't hidden, but folded behind her back. @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline

[8:01 PM]Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline:

Roque's mind was slowly fading back in, but her body was basically entirely unresponsive. All she could manage to do was crack open her eyes, just enough to see a blurry image of Petrai standing across from her. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

[8:05 PM]innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄):

Petrai made quick work of restraining Roque while she was still recovering from the tranquilizer. Using thick rope she'd gotten from... somewhere in the armory, she tied each of Roque's wrists to legs of a table, and bound her feet together and tied them to another piece of heavy furniture. She left Roque in somewhat of a crucifixion posture, with her arms spread out. Once she'd finished that, she left Roque for another moment. @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline

[8:11 PM]Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline:

Shortly after Petrai had managed to do that, Roque began pulling on the restraints. It was weak, at first, but ramped up in intensity quickly. Petrai was pretty good at tying knots, so none of them budged. Roque finally tried moving her head, and her first action was to try to rub the side of her head against her shoulder to dislodge the gag. She hardly paid Petrai any attention at the moment. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

[8:14 PM]innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄):

Petrai crouched down by Roque's head with a sharp knife and began... shaving off her hair? Really boring way to start, but she sure was doing that. @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline

[8:21 PM]Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline:

Roque paused as Petrai began messing with her hair. She glared and tried moving her head away, straining her neck as far as it could go.

"Mmnnmmm." Roque huffed, but it was much too muffled to understand. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

[8:24 PM]innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄):

Petrai continued shaving Roque's head, at one point putting a hand over her head to keep her from moving. Once that was done, she gathered up all the now-loose chunks of Roque's hair and dropped them to a pile by Roque's side. Then, she left again.

When Petrai returned, she'd tucked the knife into her belt. She now carried a mace- similar to the weapon Albanes carried. "Which is your dominant hand?" @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline

[8:29 PM]Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline:

Roque continued trying to pull herself free and yell for anyone to hear while Petrai was gone, but obviously, Petrai knew what she was doing here.

Once she came back and asked that question, she let her head fall back to the floor and closed her eyes. If she didn't answer, she was fairly sure that Petrai would just smash up both of her hands, so.. She wiggled the fingers on her right hand. That was the truth- but she also figured Petrai would assume she was lying and smash in the opposite hand of whatever she said. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

[8:38 PM]innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄):

Petrai rose her eyebrows and moved over to Roque's right side, then smashed the macehead into Roque's palm, breaking her finger bones and generally making a mess of her hand. Then, she stepped over to Roque's other side, and did the same to her left hand. @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline

[8:44 PM]Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline:

Hm. She couldn't think her way out of this one. Petrai acted a lot like her, which wasn't ideal here.

Roque let out a muffled scream and jerked her head back as the mace hit her right hand. Tears stung at the corners of her eyes, but didn't fall. She had a very similar reaction to Petrai smashing her left hand, but her scream was quieter and her breathing was not made quite as erratic. The tears hung in her eyes but.. She looked like she was almost spacing out already or something. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

[8:47 PM]innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄):

After that, Petrai left again. She didn't return as quickly as she had before- she didn't seem like she was returning at all. @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline

[8:56 PM]Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline:

Unlike the first time Petrai left, Roque wasn't trying to struggle out, or even yell for help. She simply laid there, her breathing beginning to calm and sitting perfectly still as she stared up at the ceiling above.

Her mind was already wandering away- and in her head, she wasn't here. She was on a stage, and all the pain in her body? It felt foreign to her. She had her adoring and devoted fans screaming out her name, loud enough to block out whatever it was that she might have been feeling in reality. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

[9:00 PM]innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄):

When Roque refocused to reality, she'd find herself staring into a bright, near-blinding light Petrai had affixed directly above her. Once again, Petrai crouched down by Roque's head, and was trailing a small scalpel over her features- down the bridge of her nose. over her lips, along each cheekbone- just enough to graze the skin and cause her to bleed without causing permanent damage or even much pain. @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline

[9:06 PM]Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline:

"Woah woah woah- light guys! Get your shit together! It's too damn bright in here!" The mental Roque yelled out, pausing the performance. She wiped her sleeve across her face, only to wipe some sweat away. The lights must have been making her sweat- that's why she felt hot liquid pouring out of her face, surely. Just sweat. Nothing more.

.

Her pupils were small as they tried to avoid absorbing as much light as possible, but when that didn't work, she squeezed her eyes shut, and that seemed to fix most of the problem.

.

In her mental image, the stage and audience had went dark, beside for phantom flashes of color here and there.

"Great, now where were we?" Strangely, the 'sweat' still seemed to be beading up across her face regardless of the lights being on.. Strange. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

[9:16 PM]innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄):

As Roque shut her eyes, Petrai grumbled something. She lifted her scalpel from Roque's forehead, and used her other hand to forcefully open Roque's left eye.

Slowly, she slid the tip of the scalple below Roque's lower eyelid, pressing it between the eyelid skin and the gooey flesh of her actual eyeball. She then began to move it, not pushing closer or further from the eye, but encircling it, making sure Roque would feel every irritating, painful second of it. Occasionally, she would twist the scalple so its sharp edge pointed into Roque's eye. The process was slow. It was deliberate. This was not the work of someone blinded by rage- Petai had contemplated this beforehand.

@Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline (GRAPHIC EYE TRAUMA)

[5:08 AM]Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline:

As her eye was forced open, her gaze still looked distant, though the sudden light did make her twitch.

.

The lights flashed back on, shining right in to her left eye. It burned from the sudden change, and even as she moved her face away from the blinding stage lights, it didn't seem to make her eye feel any better. She moved her hand up to cup her face on that side, but that didn't help either. Strange.

Even through her total stumble, the crowd was still cheering her name, loud enough to distract her from reality.

.

Roque's left arm twitched, and her fingers did too on that side, but she obviously couldn't move it any further than that. Or move her fingers much at all, besides a painful and uncontrolled few millimeters.

She made a small noise of discontent, but probably not to the degree Petrai was aching for. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

[7:42 AM]innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄):

[more graphic eye trauma]

After excruciating slow moments Petrai spent simply toying with Roque, she finally committed. She dug the scalpel further into Roque's eye socket and began cutting out her eye.

Still, Petrai worked slowly and carefully. Along with the excruciating pain, her vision in the left eye would begin to fade.

Then, finally, Petrai pulled out Roque's eye, with near-surgical precision. She held it in her hand, contemplating. @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline

[9:12 AM]Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline:

Roque doubled over on stage, her bass clattering to the ground as she slammed both of her hands over her left eye.

"What the FUCK!" She hissed, her hands so tense that her nails were digging in to her flesh. "What's- Petrai-!"

.

Roque began to twitch more, her arms continually trying to move out of their restraints and toward her face. Her head twisted away from Petrai, her brows furrowed in.. aggravation or pain. Or both. Probably both.

She mumbled something again under the gag, not any more comprehensible than before.

.

"Oh that bitch. That bitch."

As Roque laid on the ground on the stage, the crowd kept cheering.

"Roque! Roque! Roque! Roque!" They were loud. Loud enough to make her stop thinking. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

[9:25 AM]innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄):

Petrai remained silent, her expression neutral. She looked over Roque's face, contemplating whether or not she was going to take the other eye, too. Before she could, she was interrupted by loud banging on the door.

"Petrai!" Yeonaixho shouted, only slightly muffled by the door. "Petrai, open up! I know you're in there."

Petrai sighed, and stood. She went over to the door and unlocked it, letting Yeonaixho in.

"Petrai, what the fuck-" He began, "You can't just take prisoners away and do- whatever the fuck you're doing! Especially not when you say I authorized it. What the hell were you thinking?"

"I took care of her," Petrai replied coolly, stiffly. "Just like I said I would."

Yeonaixho sighed. "Did you at least get it all out of your system?"

Petrai didn't reply. @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline

[9:27 AM]Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline:

Roque didn't respond to the new voice, she was quite literally in a different world at the moment.

Probably very frustrating to Petrai. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

[12:09 PM]innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄):

If Petrai was frustrated, she didn't show it. She stood beside Yeonaixho, and crossed her arms. She remained still, steady.

Yeonaixho grumbled something, and crouched by Roque's left hand. "You can't just do this... you've made a mess of the place, that's what you've done. Just the hands and the eyes?"

"I shaved her head, too." Petrai added blanky.

"Of course you did." @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline

[12:17 PM]Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline:

Roque did seem to show some kind of reaction as Yeonaixho's voice was at her side. She shifted her head over toward him, just a little.

.

"Great- I think- that other dick came in." Roque huffed, though her screaming fans were still blocking out most of the noise. "Bet he's here to heal me so Petrai can do it all again. Eurgh- this is going to be a long show." @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

[12:27 PM]innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄):

Sure enough, Yeonaixho pressed his hand to Roque's wrist and began repairing her hand. Her bones set themselves, her flesh repaired. When he was done with that, he went over to her right hand and did exactly the same. Then, he stood and went back over to Petrai, not making any move to repair her now-missing eye.

"Well, if you're done," Yeonaixho talked down to Petrai, in a tone that suggest she very much was done now, "We should move her back to the cell."

"Let me take her other eye." Petrai demanded, though her voice remained steady.

"Really, Petrai? Really?"

"You heard me."

"Yeah, yeah, I did, but... really?" @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline

[12:33 PM]Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline:

She felt the dull throbbing feeling in her hands vanish, though she wasn't relieved about it whatsoever. Regardless of that, she picked up her bass again and forced herself to her feet, her left eye closed tightly.

"Who's ready for an encore, huh?"

The crowd cheered again, echoing off the imaginary walls.

"Well good! Because I just might be here till I drop dead!"

.

Roque's now healed fingers were moving a bit- it kind of looked like she was playing air guitar but she was also crucified so it didn't really work. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

[12:41 PM]innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄):

"Yes." Petrai said, "Really."

"Eugh. Gross." Yeonaixho scoffed in repulsion.

"I will not be satisfied til I take her eyes. Both. It's the cruelty she deserves."

Yeonaixho sighed, and thought for a moment. "If I let you do this, will you leave her alone til she dies?"

"Yes. I swear, Yeonaixho. On my life and to yours, I will leave her be after this. And her body will be yours."

Yeonaixho sighed. "Get on with it, then. I'll be... over here, when you're done. It'll be easier to heal the damages here than in the infirmary."

Petrai nodded, and went back over to Roque.

@Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline

[12:44 PM]Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline:

Roque was blissfully unaware in her own little headspace. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

[12:52 PM]innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄):

Once again, Petrai dug her scalpel into Roque's eye socket, this time her right. This time she was swifter, though no less deliberate and delicate. The process wasn't any less painful in its swiftness, though it was over sooner, at least. Soon enough. Petrai held Roque's other eye in her hand, though, she'd have a hard time seeing that.

Petrai beckoned Yeonaixho over, and he cleaned the wound and healed and superficial cuts Petrai had accidentally made. He wrapped a blindfold around Roque's empty eye sockets. @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline

[1:04 PM]Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline:

Between the gag and the blindfold, roques senses were quickly diminishing.

.

Yep, there was that pain again- man, it was going a lot quicker this time- shit-

Roque suddenly threw the bass across the stage and moved her hands up to cover her face. It hurt like hell-

Through all the torture she did to herself, she never messed with her eyes. For a few reasons- they would be a lot harder to fix, being blind would be super annoying if they for some reason couldn't grow back like the rest of her, and three, they were just too pretty to possibly damage.

Pretty little eyes. Hopefully Petrai would be showing them off somewhere. Like a dumb necklace or something.

Then, when Roque finally got her powers back, her eyes would grow back in and she could strangle Petrai with that very cord.

She didn't plan on waking up any time soon. She knew they were gone but trying to open her eyes and not being able to.. That did scare her.

Best to ignore it for as long as possible. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

[1:09 PM]innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄):

Yeonaixho waved his hand over Roque, and whatever awareness she had left would fade into unconsciousness. Once she was out, he cut away Petrai's knotted restraints and threw her over his shoulder.

"Clean up." He instructed Petrai. "I'll take her back to the cells." @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline

[1:12 PM]Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline:

The mental concert faded away as she fell in to unconsciousness.. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)
