"I-I'm going to see if master Charles is back..." I murmured, my shyness quickly returning. Getting up, I took out a small key, hiding it from the others as I stepped out into the hallway. "What is that sound...?" I asked myself, stopping infront of another cell door. I bent down, pulling out a short dagger from my heeled boots. I slid the key into the lock, hearing it click into place. I peeked in, my eyes widening at the bruised girl on the bed.
There was no way Suzuya could answer, because deep down he knew the sorrow he would feel if anything happened to Shinohara-san, he just choose to stubbornly refuse to accept it, instead. he grabbed Teela's hand before she could press it against his chest and outreached his free arm to touch her own.
"But you aren't empty, you have a heart along with organs.." he mumbled, perhaps this was Suzuya's way Of encouraging others, telling Teela to keep living and to try her best, yet with oddly eccentric words.
However, something sparked his interest, seeing something move from the corner of his eyes. "Ah...ah? What is that?" using Teela's hand as a sort of arrow, he pointed her pinky finger towards a cell across the Room from their own, a girl covered in bruises was inside, she looked exhausted from what he could see.
(omg ninja'd, aw well, and you are most certainly welcome TheCreeperHugs. <3 )
Charlotte let herself fall backwards on the bed and lay there staring at the ceiling. She didn't notice the maid, or the albino girl who had spotted her. Instead she lay on her back, passing her now copious amounts of spare time counting the imperfections in the ceiling, and cracks or blotches.
(I'm sat at my computer desk right now and the poster on the wall next to me keeps falling off and landing on me xD)
"M-miss?" I called to her, my voice quiet. "W-who are you...?" I asked, gripping the dagger. The blade was slightly tinted red from blood in certain spots.
Charlotte jumped as she heard a voice, as she didn't realise anyone was near. She immediately sat up and looked towards the person who had spoke. She looked like she was wearing some kind of uniform, potentially a maid's uniform, which must mean she worked here. Which meant she worked for Monica and Charles. Is she in on their game too..? Charlotte wondered. "..I-I'm Charlotte..." She stammered, subconsciously inching backwards on the bed.
Seeing this as an opportunity to change the subject that caused him to feel so uncomfortable, the boy Sprung up and raced over to the bars of his cell. gingerly taking hold of the bars with his bare hands before The Albino squealed out "Missssss!~ Miss, don't forget about me~!" suddenly taking one of his hands off the Bars, he began to wave towards the bruised girl, smiling pleasantly.
[Thought the cells were rooms with metal doors, with small windows in the doors.]
"Teela..." I replied, placing the dagger back into the small sheath in my boot. "I-I'm not going to h-hurt you..." I murmured, noticing her backing away.
Mary decided to "lay low" and see what everyone else was doing before she admitted she was awake and fully, mentally conscious. There seemed to be more people now, none of them noticing her. The girl steadied her breathing to make it sound like she was asleep, and narrowed her eyes. Teela, the maid, was with them for some reason, and there was someone named Charlotte.
"Nice to.. uh... Meet you, Teela..." Charlotte replied quietly. She galnced in the direction of the second voice, and saw an albino girl waving at her. She too was in a cell, thpugh Charlotte didn't recognise her from the dinner party Monica and Charles used to lure herself and the other victims in with. Which meant they were doing it again. She returned her attention back to Teela. "Do you work here?" She asked.
"Yes, I do, miss." I replied, giving the white-haired girl a small bow. I tried to keep my eyes away from her bruises, but my eyes would occasionally drift towards them.
Suzuya smiled at being noticed, he wondered if she could introduce himself to Charlotte, but perhaps he Should wait a minute until she was done talking, though he could hear Mary's breathing get a little faster, Suddenly looking behind him at the supposedly asleep girl.
"Ah? Are you awake, Marionette? " he questioned In but a whisper, because it seemed to him that the girl Was trying to hide that she was awake for some odd reason.
(Nope, the cells are actually right along the walls next to each other, think of old sheriff styled prisons. <3 that's why they look so fancy too )
Is she in on what they're doing? Charlotte wondered. She seems too nice to be part of what's going on... She noticed the girl's gaze wandering downwards to her arms, presumably looking at the bruises. Feeling slightly self conscious, she moved her arms behind her back, trying to hide the black and blue marks littering them.
She tried to stay unresponsive, but the girl was bored of being "asleep".
"Hm? Oh, no." She said with a small smile. Even after all that sleep she felt a bit drowsy.
"Who are all of you?" Mary sat up to look at all of them. She knew names, but she couldn't match faces with names.
Monica snapped her fingers, as if calling out one of the butlers. Once a man
in a black suit and mask came and carried Ai away to the many cells, she smirked.
This party was going great already, especially since the other parties that were
hosted always turned to never have people as young as these guest.
As most everyone was in the cells now, the fun would soon begin~
"Suzuya Juuzou!" Suzuya beamed, not just to Mary, but loud enough so Charlotte could hear too, after all. Introducing everyone would be essential in figuring out what was going on.
Soon, the albino boy wondered over to the door of the cell itself, fiddling in his pockets for something. "Ah...ah I got it!" he giggled, suddenly taking out a small switchblade from his dress pants, the blade itself Seemed to have dried blood upon it for some reason, it was a little worrying but perhaps it was just used for Food or it was actually rust, nevertheless the albino swirled the blade in his hands for a minute before he Undid the lock on his cell door, "Got it!~" he chimed as the lock came undone.
(It's not time for Charles yet ;D his grand entrance is soon though~ also HI DEER. <3 )
Charlotte stared at the maid, confused. If anytjhing, she had expected Teela to ask how she got the bruises, not offer to get her some ice. "Oh, um, no thanks, it's fine... Thanks for offering though..."
She glanced towards Suzuya, who had somehow managed to open the lock to a cell door using a switchblade. Charlotte had tried almost everything besides that to escape, though she'd never had anything that she could have used to pick the lock with.
I put my key into Charlotte's cage lock, quickly opening it for her. "I think it's fine for you guys to come out, but we c-can't go upstairs until my master and mistress returns..." I stated quietly, staring at Suzuya's blade.
"Suzuya and-?" The blonde girl craned her neck to get a good look at the other girl in the cell.
"What about you?" Mary questioned. She quickly looked down to get a good look at herself. Nothing was ripped, her heels still looked good, but her bun had fallen out.
"But why not? why can't we go upstairs?" Suzuya raised his hand like a student would and questioned, However soon following Teela's gaze to his switchblade, the boy smirked with such an evil expression one Would mistake him for someone else. yet it only lasted but a split second, only showing this intention to Teela for noticing the blood on his blade as he quickly pocketed his knive back into his dress pants, Replalcing such a menacing look with that of an Innocent smile.
"I can teach you how to pick locks If you want." he offered to Charlotte, noticing her look of bewilderment When he opened the cell door, after which he began to walk over to the entrace of the other cell where the Two were, gesturing for Mary to come as well.
