[closed - event] i don't understand how you're gone

Characters: the Damsels.
Date: They awake the morning of the 3rd.
Summary: The adventures of the captive damsels aboard the ship Labrys.
Warnings: None at this moment.

[The morning is rising, the early sun spreading streaks of red and gold out across the surrounding cloudscape, thin beams penetrating the wooden Labrys, spilling across its planks. It is an unfamiliar place that you will awaken in, one filled with the creaking of wood and the musical rattle of dried out bones. Did you think those skeletons carting you off in the night were a dream? Well, now you know for certain. Now you sit in a cage, cold steel surrounding you and cold steel at ankles and wrists. You are a captive.

And soon enough, your captor's shadow falls over you. Her dark hair is wind-tousled, her skin a silken brown. And she is smiling.]

Good morning, ladies.

I'm not giving you much of a choice in the matter.

[wipeoutthenoise]

[Neku glowers, focusing on one of her pins to try and zap the lock--

Only to find it doesn't work.

Aside from looking a little more concentrated, it probably wasn't clear that she was doing anything, but her expression suddenly gets confused.]

What the hell...?

[bulletbitten]

[She laughs, full and raucous.]

I have a few tricks up my sleeve.

[wipeoutthenoise]

[Neku scowls again, now pissed off and trying to figure out how to get out of here. Which... is going to be a lot harder without her pins.]

Screw you.

[bulletbitten]

I don't think you can handle me, girly.

[wipeoutthenoise]

[give her a second... ok she got the implication. dfghjkl;]

Not what I meant!

[bulletbitten]

You should be more careful about what you say then.

[wipeoutthenoise]

[damnit she's going to have to think about every word that comes out of her mouth, isn't she. and no, she's totally not blushing.]

So now what? [she's sure you have better things to do, and maybe she can find a way out of this cage when this lady isn't looking...]

[bulletbitten]

Now we wait. But maybe if you ask me nicely I'll let you out of the cage.

[wipeoutthenoise]

[On the one hand, Neku's pretty sure she can find a way out of his cage on her own, and she doesn't want to ask nicely. On the other hand... she's been proven wrong once already.]

........do I have to.

[bulletbitten]

[She grins.]

Nobody's got you at gunpoint.

[Not yet.]

[wipeoutthenoise]

[She's actually more used to gunpoint.]

...Please.

[bulletbitten]

What was that?

[She lifts a hand to her ear.]

[wipeoutthenoise]

[You're making this difficult on purpose.]

Please.

[bulletbitten]

[She's making this difficult on purpose.]

Once more for posterity.

[wipeoutthenoise]

[yea she really doesn't like you.]

Please.

[bulletbitten]

Good girl. Now come over here.

[She heads to the door to unlock.]

[wipeoutthenoise]

[Neku heads to the door, but once it's open, may or may not try to punch the pirate queen. Meaning she will, but probably won't succeed 'cause this lady seems kind of badass.]

[bulletbitten]

[The lady is a little bit of badass, and attempts at violence will probably see her stepping deftly aside to let her captive tumble to the floor with the force of her own momentum.]

Are we done with that?

[wipeoutthenoise]

[Neku scowls, pushing herself up and glaring. She doesn't say anything, but she's not punching anymore.]

[bulletbitten]

[She gives a sharp whistle and a pair of skeletons shamble down the hall.]

The girls will take you to clean up.

[wipeoutthenoise]

[Neku isn't even bothered by the skeletons now- she's more focused on what's being said, and frowns.]

That's... oddly accommodating. Why?

[bulletbitten]

I like pretty little girls.

[wipeoutthenoise]

[Yup, the scowling is back.]

Whatever. I hate this place so much.
