⇨ JAILHOUSE ROCKS

[ringleaders]

Who: Everyone who IS imprisoned, brainwashed, or infiltrating.
When: Day 175, 11:30PM onward.
Where: The Prince's shiny new fortress.
What: Those that have been imprisoned by the Prince languish in their underground cell, while those that are under his control continue to do his nasty bidding. Also, Foster might be here? We'll see how that goes.
Warnings: General fuckery, maybe torture.

THE LAIR OF THE BEAST↴ As the fortress comes into being, the Prince has been reaching far across his realm, beckoning his servants back to him and corralling as many helpless hostages as he can manage. In the case of the unfortunate carnival members who made the mistake of crossing him during their stay, they are being locked away in the most secure inner sanctums, held as collateral against their former master. Those freshly captured haven't yet been bent to his will, but they can certainly be neutralized. Carted away by security and pulled deep underground, there feels like there is little hope of them escaping on their own. ► GROUNDED: The Prince's dungeon is a simple one - in place of cages and manacles, there is only natural stone. A claustrophobic cave somewhere deep in the earth, those within it will soon be completely cut off from the outside world. All the prisoners will have been injected with manticore venom at some point or another, which will be slowly turning parts of their bodies to stone, and if that wasn't enough they have also been partially encased in the stone walls and pillars, as if phased halfway into the rock and left there in various positions. It is an enclosed area, and all the prisoners are within talking distance of each other - which is a good thing, because there isn't a lot else to do with their powers mostly bound and their bodies becoming less and less capable of movement. ► CONTROLLED: Those of the brainwashed that manage to return to the fortress will be set to work guarding and attending to these hostages, along with the help of some of the long term Manor servants. They still need to eat, right, and that can be difficult when you arms are stuck in a cave wall. Otherwise, there may come a time when the Prince calls upon them to do something more specific - and there's also the chance that the new prisoners will fall victim to his power and succumb to his control as well. With the poison in their bodies, it's only a matter of time before they lose themselves.

"....S....So it affected you more...." Gongenzaka nods, closing his eyes in understanding.

And abruptly, there is a shout. "...UNFORGIVABLE..!"

The sound echoes. If he could have punched something, he would have, no doubt-but he cannot even move, and instead the silence is brought back to quiet tears. "...and I, the man Gongenzaka....c.... Can still do nothing for it, aah...? ....how...unforgivable, of me...."

"...but yet..." Gongenzaka swallows, ears raising. "....You... ....You say this place....kh.... This place here.... ....You were not here, before..."

"It was somewhere else, before," he says, apparently just rambling away whatever comes to his mind. He's too distracted and rattled to monitor his speech, or even to have a good idea of what is and isn't a secret. Keeping together the basic facts is hard enough.

"When the Prince first took us... it was these tunnels... and something in it made food go rotten, and turned the servants into beasts. So they just kinda... ate each other."

[otoko]

Tunnels... Gongenzaka listens in silence, painting the image in his head. A series of tunnels, perhaps a basement, or similar. The rambling may be rattled, but at the very least it's giving him information, and Gongenzaka's lips curl back with disgust as Sans finishes his thought.

"....Kgh.... ....if not for the stone....I, the man Gongenzaka, would think it more venom," he remarks, though he finds himself looking over Sans with more focus despite that. "....Or perhaps that is still the case," he mutters, wrinkling his nose.

"...The servants... ....Whether through venom, or other methods....kuh-!" The man pauses, a series of coughs wracking his form mid-sentence. "Khh...hhahh... ....He does such things as punishment... ...I, the man Gongenzaka, met such a victim during the 'hunt' which was created.... Though....gh... I, the man Gongenzaka...did manage to help keep him safe, at least..!" he laughs, the sound quickly souring into pained noises.

"....perhaps....this arm can be restored later, at least..."
