sound the alarm
Who: Domina, Lex, and Tanith
When: Early afternoon
Where: Ad Gustum
NOTE: This was supposed to go up on the July 26th gameday, but our placeholder seems to be... lost. -_-
When Ancilla had delivered the news, Domina had calmly told her to summon Lex and Tanith. When she was alone, it took every ounce of control not to throw a temper tantrum of epic proportions.
Amazingly enough, it never crossed her mind to be afraid. A Moriarty needn't fear anything or anyone. At the very least, everyone from that dungeon would have a spell on them to make them incapable of finding this place again. But she was still angry. This slight was unacceptable.
Remain calm, Mistress, Hades urged. Do what needs to be done, and take your anger out on something worthy later.
Oh, yes. That went without saying. Something was going to die tonight. A precious few of the slaves had already been rounded up. And they would all have to be made examples of. It was what any proper Roman enthusiast would do.
And she would enjoy it.
Lex had heard whispers through the grapevine that a certain someone was missing. Someone that belonged to him. He tended to not believe half the shit that was spoken by the whores, knowing most of it was either gossip or ways to get him riled up, but this had to do with the siren and no one touched the siren. Once alone, he bolted to her chambers to hope it was all a lie.
And it wasn't.
He had broken the door right off its hinges with how hard he slammed the fixture, roaring out in sheer disbelief all the while. He would pay to fix that later if need be, but right now? Lex. Was. Pissed. Kitty was free. He never let any of his victims go. The only way out was by death. She must have felt pretty damn proud knowing she was the first one to claim that title. Lex would make sure she was the only one to claim that title.
It wasn't long until he was summoned by Domina. Surprise surprise. Wondered what this was about. If she wanted a fucking unicorn now instead of pursuing the matters now, Lex was going to tell her to shove it up her ass. He was in quite a mood. Finally reaching her quarters, he slipped in, controlling every damn muscle in his body not to slam the door. The look on his face, his eyes, hell, his whole body just screamed with sheer fury. That pink mohawk, though? Not so much. With a few steps toward her, Lex stared at the young girl and spoke rather calmly, even if it was hissed through his teeth. "You called?"
What. The. Fuck. For a moment Domina just stared at him. Hades, faithfully at her side on his perch, actually tilted his head to a ninety degree angle.
Mistress, he spoke, Has your hunter gone mad?
Quite possibly, she returned, before letting out a sigh. It didn't matter. Pity, though, he had been such a pretty thing. Now was not the time to give him shit. And Domina Moriarty was almost always capable of giving people shit. Especially her underlings! As she opened her mouth to respond, however, there was another knock at the door. Tanith didn't wait for invitation, she simply let herself in. The dominatrix - absolutely covered in blood - took one sight of Lex and went dumb all over again. For a second she just stood there, blinking, before Domina cleared her throat. Tanith stepped in and closed the door behind her, folding her hands behind her back.
"A vampire freed all of the slaves," Domina said. It wasn't a question. She repeated it only for Lex's benefit. "Six of which are back in custody. The rest will need to be found. Lex, this is your priority. I want every one of them back here, and suffering. I'll be hiring a witch to help expedite their tracking."
Oh geez, her too? Why was everyone looking at him like he had ten heads or something?! Some of the whores told him he had pink hair, but he dismissed it as a prank. Really now, why would he dye his hair pink? He had less hair, yes, but pink? Pfff, pink was for pussies. He was about to speak up, demand that Domina not waste her time, and then she showed up. Oh lovely, was this a joke? Tanith was THE last person he wanted to bump into while he was in such a mood. Glaring back at the blonde, he eventually brought his attention back to Domina, a twisted smirk laced upon his lips while proudly showing off his fangs.
"Trust me, love, they will be found and they will be in pain. I don't take this nonsense lightly by any-" He paused, relapsed, blinked, headtilted, then went on. "...you're hiring a witch? Dare I ask who this witch is?" Don't be Tanith. Don't be Tanith. Oh, please, for the love of whatever the fuck is holy in the wretched town, NOT. HER.
"You needn't hire a witch, Madam," Tanith objected, calm and together as could be. "I'm more than up to the task, and already on the payroll."
"You're going to have your hands full," Domina replied, not missing a beat. "And I don't know, Lex, I haven't hired them yet. Rest assured you'll know shortly after I do." She regarded Tanith again, knowing from the scent of the blood that most of it belonged to a vampire. "Well?" she prompted.
Tanith was unshakable, even if she did half expect to be killed for the trouble. She was seething, sure that the refusal to let her do the required magics was a punishment in itself. "The vampire who released them is in one of the draining rooms. He'll meet the final death within the hour, neatly clearing my hands to do the job required of me."
Domina shook her head. "Go take him down and lock him up. You're not to kill him."
Tanith blinked. "Pardon?"
"You're not to kill him," Domina repeated. "Put him in the dungeons, give him to Angeline. She needs something to practice on anyway."
Tanith seethed a little more. Didn't this spoiled little bitch get it? Her oversized Barbie whore house was cute and all, but the big kids knew what they were doing. "You do realize that's only rewarding him," she said, tone dry. "He did it because he wants more attention. Wants more punishment."
"I don't really care what he wants," Domina answered. "I care about what I want, and what my sister wants. And my sister wants a new plaything, and I want you to oversee that. Do as I say."
Tanith grit her teeth. "I'm sorry, Domina, but have you lost your fucking mind?" The instant the words were said she reeled back, a wave of magic escaping with a few uttered words and a wave of Domina's hand. Tanith felt a very physical blow to her mouth, her face suddenly feeling very hot. She steadied herself and looked back up at Domina, blood dripping from her mouth, looking very much like she would have enjoyed killing the little princess.
Domina's face was hard as stone. She eased back in her chair, quite enjoying that little show of power. She liked Tanith, but bitches needed to learn their place. "Dismissed." But Tanith was horrible at letting anyone get the last word. Before she moved, she spit a mouthful of blood on the floor. And with that, stormed right out. Domina looked back to Lex. "As for you. I do hope your latest... ah, fashion statement, doesn't interfere with your ability to remain unseen. I don't want anything coming back to this place, or anyone associated with it. Understood?"
...well then.
Lex actually had to step to the side and turn his back on the two for a mere 4 seconds while he bit his lip hard, hand over his mouth, strictly to prevent himself from cracking the fuck up. Oh, what was this? Little miss dominatrix couldn't have her way with her toys? About damn time. This was completely priceless and part of Lex wanted to go over and give Domina a high five. Yes, the adults knew what they were doing, but Domina wasn't any ordinary 18-year-old. BITCH HAD AN IRON MAIDEN. There was just a line of bumfuckery that you did NOT fuck with, and Domina totally sat on the top line.
And then Bitchface was gone, leaving Lex to stand their quietly, the slightest hint of a smirk ever-so gradually pulling at a corner of his lips. He wanted to hate Domina, he really did. She had tits, that was enough reason for him, but the fact she somehow got to the same wavelength with him on and off honestly scared Lex. Wonder if she's interested in torturing any of those slaves that ran off.
"Completely," he replied calmly. "If anyone even tries to think of stepping foot in this area, I'll be there to cut them down. You know I aim to please." There was that lovely smirk of his in Domina's direction. "And trust me, I've spent years lurking in the shadows uncaught. I like to keep that record up." Because no one expects the pink-haired douchebag to flap in the night, now do they? He took several steps backwards, eyes still on Domina before raising an eyebrow. "Anything else while I'm out?"
Normally Domina would have noted the smirk fighting for dominion in Lex's features and gone into it. Today, she was in no mood. With Tanith dealt with, she was now full-on scowling, and looking quite like she might murder the next living thing to enter the room. Anything else? Was he for fucking real? "Just get to work," she muttered, waving her hand in dismissal. She wanted nothing more than to go for a good fly, but it seemed she had a witch to hire.
Done and done. Lex didn't blame Domina for being in a pissy mood, especially seeing that Lex was in a foul one himself. He did his best to exercise self-control, but that could be exhausted rather quickly. With a nod, Lex turned on his heel and headed towards the door. "Will do, love," was all he said before he propped the door open and closed it, restraining every muscle in his body from not slamming it with full blown vampire strength. Now he had a job to do and he was going to fucking enjoy every god damn second of it.
