[GrandDM]

[Wherever the Portal Ends]

Naurax steps out of the portal opened by Clarissa. For a moment, the outline of wings are visible as the energy of it clings to them, but he steps forwards and they disappear.

[The Alexandrian]

[Umbrageous Private Theater]

Every entity Clarissa has kidnapped should materialize in or in close proximity to a seat (or, conversely, materialize several feet above the unforgiving yet pleasantly warm wooden floor which they shall be hastily introduced to in short order courtesy of gravity) depending on player preference. The room is, as the location tag implies, rather dark. Lavish red tapestries adorn the black stone walls. Subdued lights shine along two aisles which ostensibly lead to two exits in the back of the not so enormous chamber. A completely ordinary movie screen has been fixed to the wall at the front of the theater, patiently awaiting the issuance of the command which will draw all eyes to its brilliance.

Before the show begins, it seems as though Clarissa has afforded her hapless throng kidnappees a moment to compose themselves and acquaint themselves with one another if they so desire.

While Clarissa is nowhere to be seen, everyone may sense that she is monitoring them and that misbehaving would be most detrimental to their wellbeing both mental and physical.

Of course, the Operative may be able to spot Clarissa, situated in the projector room as he probably is. She's leaning quite seductively against a faceless wall of the gloomy projector room, a satisfied smile complementing her every feature. She's happy about something, or so it seems.

"Welcome to KINDER, Operative."

Quoth she most merrily.

"Welcome home."

[Devixer]

Umbrageous Private Theater

At some point between entering that portal and ending up in the projector room, the Operative discarded the person he was possessing, and now has his preferred body back. He looks down at the rest of the theater, then looks at Clarissa, face and expression now concealed by his gas mask. Of course, she can probably guess how he looks, which is as unreadable as ever.

"They don't look like much," he say, not responding much to the rest of what Clarissa said. He has no home, never did.

[Beans]

[Umbrageous Private Theater]
Eo arrives and promptly sits down; the very ordinary-looking synth woman even still has her little waist-apron thing from the waitress job Clarissa spirited her away from, though she's emptied it of straws and pencil stubs and change. She has opted to retain a knife, fork, and spoon for the heck of it.

Looking around, she takes stock of the room and her fellow... members.

[Arkhosia]

Umbrageous Private Theater
Ashe should arrive, grinning from ear to ear.
When do we start?
The unconscious Makaria and Ashara should be here as well.

[Aric Kale]

Umbrageous Private Theatre

Zane sits in a chair, remaining silent, as he gently feels the back of his head. With a wince, the pyromancer grits his teeth. Yup, he was forcibly knocked out. In his groggy state of being he wonders where he is, who brought him here, and for what purpose. Zane Darkstar, First Nexian to wield Fearblaze, has arrived, and he makes no move to interact with any around him.

[Lady Serpentine]

[UPT(o no good?)]

Ashara wakes up shortly after she hits her head on the floor, having been stolen away while asleep rather than truly unconscious, and looks around the room for her lover, though for the moment, she doesn't want to let onto a weakness in front of the other people here, just in case, and sits next to Eo instead, only glancing over at the other Tiefling when she thinks she can get away with it without being spotted.

For now, she's not going to do anything that ought to be considered misbehaving, unless checking herself for any weapons that might still be on her but not drawing any that remain counts.

[Duck999]

UPT

Filii arrives! He wears a suit complete with a tophat and cane. Actually, he currently holds a longer than quarter staff. Noticing he is in no position to do somehing, his staff turns into a cane. He looks around, hoping he was kidnapped for a good reason.

Makaria will sit next to Ashara when she wakes, wanting to stay close to the only familiar thing here.

[Tris]

UPT

Tanar appears wide-eyed wearing a brown cloak and holding a wooden staff. His cat, Lena, stands on his shoulders. He quietly takes a seat and tries to go unnoticed.

[Lady Serpentine]

Makaria will sit next to Ashara when she wakes, wanting to stay close to the only familiar thing here.

Ashara ignores her when she sits down, somewhat obviously, to Makaria, though not so much to those who don't know them, deliberately snubbing her.

He fail his unnoticed task. He is seen, though the watcher makes no response to him. Filii continues to scan the members.

[Beans]

[UPT]
Eo simply sits quietly and takes note of each of the other arrivals, wondering what circumstances brought them here. Were they as receptive to Ms. Clarissa's offer as she was?

[OrchestraHc]

UPT

Emmi sits alone in the dark clutching a rainbow camo hoodie. The curly haired teenage elf is choking back sobs. She was not brought here willingly or unconsciously. The monster that brought them all here slaughtered, she fears, at least two city blocks. For her.

She doesn't even know why she's wanted. Why were her "brothers and sisters" chosen? And why is she the only one crying?

[Arkhosia]

Makaria looks rather crestfallen now.

Filii notices. Sympathy flickers over his face, but then his expression hardens. He continues to scan newcomers.

)(Duck999, check the OOC.)(

Zane continues to glare at everyone and everything, though now he's slightly more awake. I suppose that's better...
For now, he's content to brood.

Ashe slides up to him.
Didn't expect to see you here.

[Aric Kale]

UPT

Zane closes his eyes and leans back in his chair, trying to ignore a pounding headache which just popped up. And you are? Neither he, nor his player remember when they would've met. He locks his fingers together, each nail burning with black fire, assuming there's no seal in the room to keep him from doing such.

Ashe. Remember, I made a portal for you?
Ashe replies.

[Aric Kale]

UPT

Zane nods slowly, vaguely recalling her name. Ah, yes. That came in handy. Sort of. So, do you know who brought us here? His eyes remained close, and the miniature flames on his hands create images of two swordsmen dueling with sword and shield. Again, assuming he can use his talent.

Some lady named Clarissa. She apparently wants to take us under her wing, so to say.
Ashe replies, leaning on a wall.

[Duck999]

UPT

After a long time of observing, Filii decides to start conversing with people. He chooses someone he thinks is interesting. Filii rises and walks over to Emmi. Hello, who are you? Filii is doing his best not to let his other side overcome him. He sits next to Emmi, laying his cane on his lap.

[Aric Kale]

UPT

Zane cracks one eye open. Clarissa? Hah, your life is gonna become hell. Mine too, chances are... He chuckles, then grimaces as his head reminds him that it's still there and injured. You'd Vetter hope you're evilly inclined. It'll make things easier on you.

[Lady Serpentine]

Makaria looks rather crestfallen now.

Ashara sighs, and leans over to gently wrap her arms around Makaria, kissing her cheek, before standing and trying to gently lead her over to...

UPT

Emmi sits alone in the dark clutching a rainbow camo hoodie. The curly haired teenage elf is choking back sobs. She was not brought here willingly or unconsciously. The monster that brought them all here slaughtered, she fears, at least two city blocks. For her.

...the elf girl over in the corner, smiling reassuringly, and, if she doesn't seem to mind, taking a seat next to her, a comforting warmth radiating from her skin.

"Hey... You hurt? Anything we can do?"

Ashara is probably only a few years older than Emmi, if that, it should be noted, assuming she's somewhere in her mid-teens rather than just entered them.

I doubt it'll be an issue.
Ashe remarks with a wicked grin.

Meanwhile...
Makaria doesn't resist, looking slightly happier now.
She still sits there.
INTERACTION WANTED!

[Duck999]

UPT

Filii can tell that the other person could handle this crying teen better than he. He rises and walks over to another person, Makaria. Hello, who are you? Filii is doing great at showing his better side.

Makaria Edros. Glad to meet you, sir.
Makaria is a tiefling with brick red skin, golden orbs for eyes, an arrowtipped tail, curly black hair, and ram's horns.
She's wearing an orange sweater with a fire emblem (), black skirt with red trim, and shoes. She also has a slave collar on.

I am Filii. A pleasure, I am sure. So how did you get here? Filii sits, laying his cane on his lap. He also wears a full suit with a top hat.
