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.

"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)
