Who: Jaynedora and Marietta Edgecombe
What: Raising a little hell
Where: Hogsmeade
When: November 12, 10-11 AM
Rating: Much evilness inside - open at your own risk.

In the end it comes down to your thinking
And there's really nobody to blame
When it feels like your ship is sinking
And you're too tired to play the game

Nobody's going to help you
You've just gotta stand up alone
And dig in your heels and see how it feels
To Raise a little Hell of your own

Jayne had retreated into her own mind, knowing what Pandora had planned and not wanting anything to do with it. This was far beyond anything they had done so far, at least she believed so, yet she knew there was no arguing with her 'partner'. She would be forced to watch it all, but could remain content in the knowledge that she had made her protests known.

Pandora didn't mind, as it meant one less obstacle to the great fun she planned on having. It had been quite some time since she had last created great havoc - since before she had been captured in that mask, before Gellert had betrayed her - and the desire was far greater than anything she had ever known.

She browsed the wares of Bezoar as she awaited her new... minion? Protegee? She didn't yet know what Marietta would be to her, but as long as she was willing to learn, Pandora would teach her.

At least until Pandora decided it would be best to kill her.

Marietta considered this and replied, "If they are paying me any mind, well it really isn't any of their business who I curtsy to."

She nodded and pulled the notebook from her robes and handed it over to Jayne. "It seems that Lavender Brown now thinks that you are looking for her after my little visit. She told the authorities that Pandora had showed herself in the fireplace."

She reached out to take the book, nodding in approval. She didn't even need to look at the book, as its importance was minimal. It was proof enough that this girl was willing to go to lengths for her approval. Yes, she could use her.

"Imagine, seeing a dead woman in your fireplace," she replied charmingly as she tucked the book into her robes. "Now that doesn't sound like a very sane thing to do."

She turned and headed toward the store's entrance. "Come, child. We have things to do."

Marietta did not know why Pandora did not look at the book as she had mentioned needing to confirm its identity upon arrival before they could continue. She didn't question her though, assuming that if she didn't check it she was obviously satisfied.

She fell in line with Jayne, following her to the entrance of the store. This was what she had been waiting for and while she had no idea what exactly it was she was going to be doing, she was still excited beyond belief. Zacharias could not possibly understand just how amazing her life was changing for the better and there was no way a fake pregnancy was going to dampen this high for her.

Without speaking further, she walked down the street and toward the residential area of Hogsmeade at a brisk pace, expecting the girl to keep up. She only stopped once she arrived at a two-story building that was longer than most homes, resembling a military barracks in shape and size, but otherwise matched the architectural style of most homes in the area so that it would not overly stand out. A sign out front indicated it to be a facility belonging to the Ministry of Magic, but nothing further.

Walking through the front door, she looked to the reception desk and verified that the young woman there was still unconscious. Excellent.

She turned to face Marietta. "If you are truly ready to enter my service, then show me your mark."

Marietta followed Pandora down the streets of Hogsmeade, making sure to keep up as she did not want to miss anything important. She did not know what this building was that they were entering but apparently it was affiliated with the Ministry in some way.

When they entered it seemed that Pandora and Jayne had already been here previously as the woman at the desk was already incapacitated. She wondered if there were any other people in the building who were in similar conditions. When Pandora asked to see her mark, Marietta wondered why exactly she needed to see it but she didn't ask her that. Instead she pulled back her robes and lifted her skirt up to her waist, revealing the dark spot on her outer thigh.

Pandora took a moment to admire the beautiful flesh that was revealed, reaching out with her left hand to stroke the young woman's thigh. Suddenly, she grabbed it and lifted, not enough to put the woman off-balance but enough to establish her control, and to position the thigh where she wanted it.

"From this moment forward, you will belong to me, and only to me."

She took out Jayne's wand and pressed the tip against the dark mark, speaking a powerful phrase that she had determined the day the Bungs woman had died, and once the last word was spoken, the tip of her wand pushed through the skin as if it were nothing but pudding.

From the contact point erupted a tentacle of pure magic that burned purple in colour. It slithered up from the dark mark as a cobra to music, waving back and forth before wrapping itself around Pandora's wrist. For a brief moment, the two women were enveloped in an eerie purple light that thrummed around them three times before dissipating entirely.

There. It was done.

For most people, this would sound like a threat. To Marietta, this sounded like a blessing. To belong to someone so powerful and be able to watch her at work was nothing short of a revelation. "I am honoured."

Marietta watched closely as Pandora performed her magic on Marietta's spot, not knowing what was coming next. She was watching with awe as the tip of Jayne's wand pressed into her skin and then an amount of pain she had yet to experience in her life crashed through her body in pulsing waves. She could feel the magic throbbing through her too and there was nothing she could do but clench her teeth and growl to try and release some of the distress on her body. She was at least glad she did not scream, but the pain was like nothing she had ever experienced before and she did not think she would never feel anything like it again. She barely noticed the purple glow that twirled around them or the trendles of magic that came from her spot and wrapped around Pandora's wrist.

Finally the pain stopped and she felt like a heavy weight was lifted off her chest. Marietta took in a deep, heavy breath and looked at Pandora. There was a blazing fire in the back of the young woman's eyes and she could not deny that she felt empowered by the experience, regardless of how painful it had been for her. "That was incredible," Marietta said, almost breathlessly.

The look on Marietta's face brought a heat to Pandora's core. She could hear Jayne's voice protesting in the background, but it was no matter. Pandora would have her way, and if this girl continued to show encouragement, perhaps she would have her in more ways than one.

For now, however, thre were more pressing matters.

With a final caress to Marietta's thigh, she released it and turned, leading the way through a doorway beyond the reception area. There, the rest of the building opened up into one huge room occupied by almost a hundred simple beds, each with a single chair at its side. Every bed had an occupant, the majority of which wore blue-grey pyajams.

"These are the Kissed," she explained for Marietta's benefit. "Whenever someone is kissed by a Dementor, their body remains, and the Ministry cares for it here until its eventual demise. Most are from Azkaban, but many were kissed by order of the Ministry five years ago."

She turned her head to Marieatta. "Their bodies have lain useless for years, until today. We will give them purpose again."

Marietta had not ever really thought about those who had been Kissed by Dementors before. Everyone knew it happened but they never considered the body afterward. There were many people in the room wearing simple looking pyjamas for the most part. But Marietta had never seen people like this before. They did not seem to actually see anything nor did they really notice the presence of Marietta and Pandora in the room.

She looked over at Pandora when she mentioned giving them a purpose again. "What is your plan for them, my Lady?" She could not deny that she was interested. This seemed like a large task, especially for her first day, but she was proud to be tasked with it all the same.

"It is in fact inspired by you, my dear. Your childish toying of that boy over a possible child made me realize that perhaps you would like a lesson in how to truly wreak havoc over the world, and in particular, people's minds. These bodies will do my bidding, much like an inferi, but one who still lives. They will have no mind or soul, and thus many spells will not work on them, and even if impeded, they will continue to do as commanded until completely disabled or destroyed." She smiled. "They will roam the streets of Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, and the Ministry of Magic where they will destroy as much as possible. They will not be allowed to kill anyone, for that is my work alone. Maiming, however, is perfectly acceptable."

She took two cloth bags out of her robes, opening one to pull out a small, square, silver-toned lapel pin. It was simple with nothing engraved upon it. She reached out, handing it to Marietta.

"There are enough of these for each body. I need you to pin it to their lapels as I weave the magic. We need to be done by the stroke of eleven, for each pin is a portkey that will take them where they need to be."

Marietta didn't really know if she was praising her or demeaning her, but this was no longer Jayne she was dealing with so she knew better than to speak up. And while her torturing of Zacharias was not something she had done as a precursor to attacking the world as a whole, she wasn't entirely unhappy about the idea of it either.

It was a brilliant idea, obviously, though it left Marietta wondering if she was supposed to steer clear of the Ministry tomorrow as well. Would they attack her too? She wasn't sure if she should ask or not at this time so she took the bag of pins from Pandora and nodded. Doing this by hand would probably take longer than they had so she took out her wand and moved toward the rows of beds. She stood at the end of one bed and pulled out a pin with her wand, lifted it to the body's lapel and pinned it there, then moved on to the next performing the same motions with her wand hand and holding the bag open with her other hand.

As Marietta worked at her appointed task, Pandora began slowly walking around the room, weaving herself as well as magic throughout every centimeter. She chanted the spell she had decided to use as she passed every body, smiling as she could feel the magic infusing the air.

Finally, it was five minutes to eleven and she had finished the last of the spell. It had taken time, but for something of this magnitude, it required something far greater than a normal spell.

She stood in the center of the room and looked to Marietta. "Come, dear. It is almost time."

Marietta finished the last lapel pin not long before Pandora finished her own magic, which Marietta was sad she did not get to watch more of, but she had to do her part here and not complain. If she was to stay with Pandora long enough, she would hopefully get to watch her perform some magic of great magnitude many times to come.

She nodded at Pandora's call and moved to the center of the room with her, looking out at the grey-blue clad bodies, now with silver lapel pins attached to them. They were ready to go to their specific destinations. She looked up at Pandora expectantly. Would they go somewhere else to watch the bodies wreak their havoc or would they stay in Hogsmeade, she wondered.

She spread her arms wide. "Rise, my children. Obey my commands."

In unison, every body in the room sat up from its bed and stood next to it. Almost a hundred people, standing with no expression upon their faces, all turning to face their Mistress and awaiting her orders.

"You will destroy! You will attack and hurt anyone in your way! You will put fear into their souls!"

Tick. Tick. Tick... The clock arm slid to eleven o'clock.

"Nostramordem!"

The bodies suddenly came 'to life', flipping over beds and chairs moments before they all disappeared in the wink of an eye.

She let her head fall back, her body aloft from the magical rush. She exhaled and her body tingled from head to toe. "And so it begins."

Marietta watched in awe as the bodies raised at Pandora's bidding. To have that many people at your command - even mindless bodies - had to be a wonderful feeling. Marietta could not help but imagine herself standing there in Pandora's stead, her own body teeming with that great magic that ran through her Lady. How she longed to know what that sort of power felt like.

When Pandora gave the command and the bodies began ripping and tearing through the room, Marietta startled a bit, surprised at the sudden action the lifeless bodies took on. They certainly were going to create a lot of trouble for everyone. Marietta looked over at Pandora and smiled. "My Lady, your magic - I am honoured to be in the presence of your power."

She lowered her head and arms and turned to face her audience. "This is only the beginning. My power grows with every passing day."

She stepped over to the girl, her eyes flashing with the power within her, and reached out to slide the fingers of her hand along Marietta's neck. Some would call it a caress, others a threatening gesture.

"It would be wise to remain at home for a day or so. My living inferi will no doubt be neutralized eventually - perhaps a day or two - but until then, they are a danger to all." She smiled. "Except for their Mistress, of course."

Marietta leaned into the hand on her neck, gazing into the eyes of Jayne that no longer belonged to her. It was easy to tell at times like this when she was Pandora - the magic practically sang from her body.

She nodded in response. She had already called in sick today and while she could call in sick tomorrow as well, she had a feeling that she wouldn't really need to as she did not expect that she would be faulted for not getting to work with these creatures roaming the streets. "Thank you, my Lady, for allowing me to help you with this."

	She nodded and released the girl. "Now go. I have other tasks this day, aside from enjoying the entertainment. I will contact you when I have need of you." And with that, she brushed past Marietta and exited the front door. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marietta watched her leave and sighed. Well, at least she could curl up in her flat with some wine and enjoy some time to herself instead of working - or dealing with any mindless, shambling bodies in the Ministry like her co-workers no doubt would be doing right about now. She walked toward the exit and apparated immediately to her flat. (Reply to this) (Parent)
