Unfortunate Souls

[Sheik]

Sheik dipped her head slightly as Len spoke, admitting his point in silence. Red eyes moved from cage to cage as the others spoke before she looked to Gauche. "You. See if you can fetch food for our attractions." As Sheik recalled, the girl was a sibling of one. She'd be fair to them portion-wise and not suffer any blows to her reputation - not like Sheik or Neyla might.

The woman stepped to Mina's cage, eyeing her with a strangely nostalgic look on her face, as if remembering something from her past. Were Sheik's cowl to have been removed, the corners of her lips would have been revealed to have lifted slightly in a smile. A positive memory, then.
As quick as the softness appeared, Sheik crossed her arms over her chest and looked over her shoulder at the other cages. "Alright. Who had the genetic experimentation, and who had surgery?"

[Gauche]

"Okay, I'm on it." Gauche said, bowing her head slightly as she spoke. Inwardly she was relieved that she was the one going on the food fetching mission. The less time she had to spend in the company of her co-workers, the better off she would be. Of course she would be coming back, but any breathing space was appreciated. She offered one last look to Droite before taking her leave of the catacombs. Gauche didn't know how long it would take, but she would try to be back as quickly as she could.

This left Droite alone with the other circus staff. She shifted her position so that she was partially facing them. Droite frowned slightly at the question. She was being asked about what they had endured, as were the rest of them. She thought it was fairly obvious what had been done to her. Regardless, Droite would answer. "It started with genetic experimentation, but... surgery came after." Droite replied. Her lack of a left arm would attest to that statement. Whether or not it was well known that she herself had nearly been the cause of its loss was unknown. All Droite knew was that it had been removed.

"Genetic experimentation." Crona replied quietly. Ragnarok frowned slightly at his partner's quiet response, but for once said nothing. Both he and Crona were intrigued by why Shiek had asked.

[Mina Murray]

Mina eyed Shiek as she got closer to her cage. The veiled woman seemed to be....intrested in her.
"I believe that I'm both." Mina said quietly. "Surgery on my wings and teeth. And mutations on my body. To make me more bat like. A vampire bat specificly."

[Sheik]

"Anyone who only had surgeries?" Sheik raised a brow, looking from cage to cage. With an uneasy hesitancy in his moves, Sunao raised his clawed hand. Sheikah and muzzled boy regarded each other for a moment before she turned away, back to Mina.

"You. You can drink without killing, yes?" Instantly Sunao's back moved back to hit the far wall of his cage, spine curved slightly and hands cupped as though they could actually be used as weapons.

(_{i didn't do that on purpose i swear})

[Mina Murray]

"Yes." Mina said thinking back a few nights ago with Hyde. She had fed on him for almost half an hour, at least that's the way it seemed. Though she wasn't sure if she'd be able to do that with someone smaller, as she still wasn't used to feeding on people and she was afraid that she might accidently hurt someone.

[Beetlejuice]

Holy Hades Betelgeuse was bored. Thankfully, he didn't actually say that aloud, so he was spared the indignity of being turned into a piece of wood or some other asinine event.

Entering the room, which seemed pleasantly busy at the moment, the Ghost with the Most gave a devilish grin to a few people he saw glance his way. "Yo! What's with this joint being so dead all of a sudden? And I don't mean just me," he laughed, his hands in his pockets as he moved closer into the room.

Glancing at a few of the women in the room, particularly Mina, the Carleton gave a cool gaze, narrowing his eyes flirtatiously at them. "I mean, what's a ghost gotta do for some fun around here?"

[Mina Murray]

"Have a pulse." Mina said cooly to Beetlejuice with a chilly look in her eyes.
"Otherwise you're completely out of luck. Particularly if you're speaking to a vampire bat-hybrid."
She turned her head away in disgust. Even after death men were often times disgusting.

[Beetlejuice]

Betelgeuse raised an eyebrow at the woman, smirking casually at her retort. "Whoa, we got a live one. Or...not. Nevermind."

Shaking his head, the corpse turned to lean against a random crate placed in the room, the same smartass smirk on his dead face as he continued to stare at the woman. Glancing to the side, he watched as a beetle crawled across the wooden surface of the box, crushing it between his fingers with a snicker. "Save that guy for later," he said to himself, putting the dead insect in one of his front pockets.

Turning back to Mina, he replied, "You're feisty, babes. I like that in a woman. That, and certain other accessories of yours...hehe..."

[Mina Murray]

Mina pursed her lips at that. This man was almost as bad as Griffin. Normally she would've suppressed a gag at Beetlejuices diet, but considering her current diet...bugs was practically normal.
"I'd be careful how you speak to me sir," She said quietly. "The last man who was so rude to me met a most unfortunate fate. Some might even say that death would've been much more preferable."

[Sunao]

"Good." One Jedi-ninja-trick later and the door to Sunao's cage swung open. The boy remained silent, glowering at Sheik as she approached him. Neither one believed that he could actually harm her - even touching things with his claws stung the nerves in Sunao's hands. Sheik seized Sunao's wrist and swung him around before he could struggle, shoving his face against the bars as she grabbed ahold of the other wrist.

Now restrained, the boy found himself being dragged and shoved out of the 'safety' of his cage, bare feet skidding as he tried to keep from moving.

Beetlejuice's interactions with Mina went largely ignored, though the male's presence irritated Sheik to no end. Males. Ugh.

"Vampire," Sheik ordered, stopping Sunao just in front of Mina's cage. "Step back against the far wall of your cage. If you try to get out past me..." A pause of consideration as Sheik glanced over her shoulder at Beetlejuice. "I'll clip your wings and let him have you."

[Beetlejuice]

"Death would've been more preferable?" Betelgeuse gave a laugh at that, giving her a malicious grin. "Babes, I AM dead, in case ya haven't noticed. Death would've been more preferable, pfft..."

The corpse rolled his eyes, still grinning devilishly at the woman's response to his flirting. She didn't find him attractive, whatever. He really didn't give a shit, so long as he got some entertainment out of the situation. "And I'll speak to you any way that I want, toots. Anything you managed to do to that poor shmuck is nothing compared to what I can do. Some say, I make heads roll!" With that, he gave another fiendish laughed, his head popping off his shoulders to roll up and down his arms.


Suddenly, however, his attention was brought to a new comer to the room. Raising an eyebrow at her as his head returned to his proper place, he smirked. "Well well, who do we have here, then? A cotton candy-haired freak with superiority issues?"

[Mina Murray]

Mina shuddered at that, but she had no intention of making a break for it anyway. She had a feeling what would happen to her if she tried.
"Perfectly understood, madame."
She back against her cage, the cold bars pressing against her sensitive wings.
She glanced at Suano breifly, wondering how much blood she would take from him before he passed out.
She glanced over her shoulder at Beetlejuice and smirked.

"Oh it wasn't me who did it. I didn't have to. Rather my...friend...Mr Hyde did. And from what I understand it was horrible as it was brutal. That's the thing about Hyde, he has no self restraint especially when he's angry."

[Sunao]

"No." Sheik's answer to Beetlejuice was simple. "Food."

The muzzled boy grunted as he was shoved into Mina, arms somehow staying secured behind his back even after the Sheikah released him. Sunao stumbled right into the vampire, but quickly tried to pull away.

"Don't make too much of a mess."

[Mina Murray]

Mina walked over and gently placed her arm around his shoulder.
"This won't hurt." She said gently. "The person I've fed on before says it's actually quite pleasurable."
She didn't mention the person she fed on was a pure evil gigantic ape man who seemed to be almost immune to pain.
"So, please, if you could just hold still." She placed her other hand on Sunao's neck and felt for a pulse.

[Len Kagamine]

Len, being an obedient boy, kept his mouth shut as everything unfolded before him. He wasn't entirely sure what was happening, still being rather dazed from the show. But he knew something was happening with Sunao and Mina, and it couldn't have been good.
He wanted to ask what was going on, but he bit his lip and held the question back. Better just to watch then ask.
But he wasn't sure he wanted to watch what was going to happen.
