"Live" RP - Alycone - DDOS HQ
“Lovely,” Pandrosus says. She looks to Terzo and Troisseau. “Please leave me alone with them and wait outside. I promise I will not free them. I want them imprisoned more than you in this state, and I promise that much on my life.”
Terzo looks around, and then locks eyes with Troisseau and shrugs. “I think she won’t help any of them escape. Perhaps it’s better if we wait outside?”
Troisseau seems skeptical, but counting on the wards he has in place to keep the prisoners where there are, he is fairly certain nothing bad can happen. And a small voice speaks within him. What choice do you have?
He locked eyes with Pandrosus. “They must remain alive. Do not kill them.”
She pursed her lips and shook her head. “I am not a murderer. They will remain here and living when I leave. I promise it on my own life.”
The two men nodded and left. Pandrosus was alone with the prisoners. At that, she smiled, holding the papers in her hand--their records--glancing down at them, she smiled. “Arman Denari-Coup, I’ll start with you...” She looks up at the prisoner. “Do you know who I am?” She moved towards his cell, clasping her hands around the bars.
“Some witch to torture me, I think.”
“Certainly you heard them say my name?”
“No, sorry. Nothing that rang a bell.”
“Let me introduce myself to all of you, then.” She stepped away, and bowed. “I am Pandrosus Penelope, Key of Hecate.”
“You lie!”, shouted Arman.
She dropped her arms and approached his cell, sliding her hands down the bars and pressing her face between them. “Perhaps. But…” She walked through the bars towards Arman as if she was not solid, but water, air, or spirit. “Can you be sure?" She paused. "You’re a banker, right? Nothing significant. No real information to offer.”
He stumbled backwards into the corner of his cell, crying out. “We have nothing against Hecate!”
“You do by the one you have served, and you will tell me what you know or experience endless suffering.” She took his wrist, and he screamed for a moment before vanishing with Arman.
But in a moment she was back with Arman, and he was collapsed on the ground, whispering incoherently to himself on the floor. "There are so many gods. Other gods--the blurry ones!"
“Next!” she said wickedly, passing through the bars into the cell of Miguel Espadas.
Pandrosus shook her head “I understand you are also a banker. I hate bankers! It's not enough to have wealth, you want power as well? Is that it?”
“I’m also an inventor. I make things. I respect Hecate!”
“No, the thing you unleashed on Alycone is an enemy of Hecate. It is a great disrespect to Her.”
“The Bewteen One is a powerful god!” he said desperately.
“It is nothing like a god,” Pandrosus explained calmly. “Would you like to tell me more, or would you prefer to visit the realm Arman did?”
“I will tell you everything.”
She smiled. “Hopefully the others are as forthcoming."
OOC NOTE:
If and when others open the prison cell and/or check with the prisoners, they will find Arman and Bastos are completely mad and ranting about the places they’ve seen beyond this world, and how there are truer gods that took them there to be tortured. The other prisoners remain silent. They eat, they drink, and they obey those that keep them. The are model, but silent prisoners. If they are ever interrogated again regarding their involvements of the eikons, the most they say is “I know nothing of actual gods. I have been mistaken. That’s why I helped with the eikons.”
After approximately 20 minutes, Pandrosus opens the door of the prison and closes it behind her, smiling. “I have what I need, here. I would release your prisoners now. They are of no use and no harm to you. But they might still lead you to other criminals if you have people to follow them.” She looks to Troisseau. “The last thing I really need to know, is about the one still at large, now...”
