HELL OF A HANGOVER PT. 2

[ringleaders]

Who: The people who were captured or turned.
When: Very early Day 66 to Day 67
Where: Vampire Hell
What: Those that were captured by the vampires are brought back to one of their demonic home dimensions to be imprisoned or integrated into the pack. People can start moving over here as they resolve their threads at the masquerade.
Warnings: Horrible BS, most likely. Violence, sexuality, torture, etc.

GOING TO HELL↴ You don't get to see what the outside of the fortress looks like, since when you were brought here, it was either by portal or by a ritual summoning ring set up by the vampires. However, the realm is easy to get the gist of - it's about classically hell dimension as you can imagine. Lava runs throughout the fortress like water in Venice, and the architecture is smooth black and grey stone that puts a significant effort into looking imposing. Skulls, demons, suggestive nudity - it's all carved straight into the pillars, or provided via ornate tapestry. It's hot, too, though not as hot as it should realistically be while standing at the edge of a lava pool. Prisoners and freshly turned vampires will end up separated - those that have been captured will be chained in iron and locked within a great stone cell within the center of a ring of lava (as pictured above), with only narrow bridges leading across it. Those that have been turned will be unceremoniously thrown into the living areas of the other neonate vampires - which turns out to be a cavernous pit of almost-rooms where a vast quantity of newly turned vampires have been left to sort themselves out. ► IMPRISONED: The supervisors (or other captives that have made themselves exceptions) will be bound with iron and left in a large cell kept separate from the rest of the prison. At first, they'll all be locked in there together - spread around the walls of the dungeon to be kept apart from each other, but able to communicate across the gap. As time goes on, they may be pulled away for "special treatment" - whatever cruel fate the vampires end up having in mind for them, whether that be interrogation, brainwashing, or simply aimless torment. Sometimes they'll be brought back, and other times they won't. How exactly they are bound is up to you, but at the very least each prisoner should have either a collar or shackles of iron, which will rob veteran characters of most of their powers. It will be extremely uncomfortable, too. ► FORSAKEN: The newly turned vampires will be introduced to their "hazing" almost immediately - that is, they'll be mixed in with the other neonates, apparently collected from at least three different words. Most of them appear human, however, so the looks of the new arrivals may set them apart - potential in ways that may cause them difficulties. These young vampires have been dumped into a series of caverns and left to live with each other, with animals or human victims occasionally tossed in for them to feed. There is not enough blood to go around, ultimately, and the human victims are highly preferred over the animals - these means there is constant and violent competition over who gets to feed. The ideal is for the neonates to thin their own ranks, allowing the strongest and most canny to survive long enough to be accepted into the rest of the clan. You'll want to stick together - after all, vampires can feed off of each other, as well. ► MORNINGSTAR: Apparently the demon in charge of this all is a creature that calls herself "Morningstar." You won't see her long if you see her at all - the only sight of her you see is a form within a black cultist's robe, with their face concealed in shadow. Beyond her, you can continue using adult or neonates vampire NPCS to torment your characters, or ask the mods for the presence of an elder, if needed. Whatever scheme is going on here, it's clear you're just another pawn.

[He could remember the violet flooding into his jaws, and the acrid taste and scent that had resulted. If it were not for that sudden rush of disgust, he worries fro what he would have done.

Gongenzaka watches as Yuugi stays across from him, and after a moment of deliberation, manages to push the elk forward with his forepaws, the claws releasing it. It's open for 'killshare' now, if that helps them feel easier about things. He has enough of himself back to keep from attacking over something so minor. At the least, he feels no better about what happened.] Even so, I, the man Gongenzaka, cannot put myself at easy by blaming the control of another. They were still my actions, however filtered, however affected by another source..!

They were still things that I, the man Gongenzaka, could have and would have done..! [His ears fall back, and his voice breaks.] ...No matter how much I wanted those things to never occur...

[Yuugi is right. They need to get out of here-but just as Yuugi picks up the sound, so too does Gongenzaka, and he stands to his full height with his own teeth bared.] ...Aah...

I hear them...

[toogoodtoopure]

[Yuugi remembered letting himself go and then...nothing. Absolutely nothing but blurs. With Chiaki out of the way, his self control and the battle of wills going on in the back of his head, there was nothing holding him back from tearing into the party guests nearest to him. His ears flicked back against his head as he remembered the screams that broke through the filter, shuddering and turning his head away.

Though, the gesture with the elk makes his gaze flick back and his ears perk, cocking his head curiously. He reeled himseflf back before he did anything though, undeterred by his sire's will down here as he was. Instead, Yuugi paid more attention to the smells and sounds coming from where he can sense them. As much as he'd like to comfort the other boy, it just wasn't possible right now. He stands, crouched still on all fours, and dug his fingers into te dirt below, claws of his pawfeet scratching into the surface.]

I smell two.

[It's sort of funny how he's gotten so used to having a snout in such a small amount of time, but like all his changes Yuugi took it in stride. He stepped slightly to Gongenzaka's right, away from him, and sniffed. His nose wrinkled, hackles raising with his growl, before he turned his attention back to the other duelist.]

Gongenzaka-san, are you...okay to fight?

[Can I trust you? went unsaid. He wants to trust with all his heart but recent events... Yuugi dug his fingers further into the dirt, waiting patiently as the footsteps start sounding.]

[betheman]

[For him it was a rush of rage. A rush of blinding agony and hunger that ended in a multiplication of both sensations. The elk at least would be a way to rebel against the reasons for being down here. Not in the way attacking the other vampires did-for that, in contrast...was merely playing along.

As they were about to do now perhaps, Gongenzaka considered, but the threat of an attack was too great to let that question hang. Instead he merely nodded, eyes narrowing as he stared ahead. Come out come out, wherever you are...]
