alois scholz (unmasked) || 25/25 || muh knees, muh knees Alois struggled not to smile at her displeasure. Her hand rendered it physically impossible to do so. Few struggles were worthwhile here; better to let the whole of the audience know the cruelty of the Spinel Lady - of the capacity of the patrons here. Let them look on and see his own patron minding himself while his servant gets punished. Let them -
Alois cried out in shock and pain, his knee buckling sideways with the first strike. Alois stumbled sideways, reached for the ground in case he met with it intimately, but he first knew the righting of the masked Thorne’s hand in his hair. Another strike, another garbled cry, and Alois’ knees met brilliant white flooring in a shock of pain and anguish. Leaning over, he groaned out through teeth and a thin strand of spit reached for the floor. His knees burned with the undue intrusion.
With head wrenched upward, he looked not to the Spinel Lady but to Thorne, who now held him captive.
„Be mindful of another person’s property,“ he started through clenched teeth.

Zac Bantock/ 25/25 / temporarily parting questions.
"...well, no, not in the literal scene." He admitted after a moment, but he did find it funny "Well, it is a Dance though, even if there is apparently a Murder we're to investigate." He said softly. "Maybe I'll be lucky enough to make my way onto a dance card, if...thats not too forward..."
He looked like he was trying to hide in his own feathers the second after he said that.
"I um..I'm just going to... I'll be back alright?" He flustered. "I just need to... do a thing." He bowed.

The Spinel Lady: 25/25, DISCIPLINING A DISOBEDIENT CHILD "Ezra?" The burning man shakes his head. "You know better, Alois. I've taught you better." Melany turns her attention back to Alois. "What is my name, worm?" Her glance cuts to Thorne. "If he answers incorrectly, break one of his hands." The Sinister Survivor: 25/25, farewelling to Zac "We'll see," says the survivor. He is taken with the nearby drama.

Shun Kuroda 25/25 | Probably overstepping Shun narrowed his eyes as the Spinel lady snapped at him, then resumed to carry out this vicious punishment. Something about all of this may have struck a nerve. He kept himself from doing any actual lashing out in the very least. "Is this display of cruelty normal, or is this just humans you see fit to treat as such?" he asked, folding his arms, "Excessive."

[25/25 | EVE]: mom mode @ the fisherGiving a parting wave and apology to Pride first, Eve made her way over to the edge of the commotion, grimacing at the sight as she stopped at what she hoped would be a safe distance. " Lily," she called, "be careful. Everything we do could have consequences here." The look she was giving was also passed to Shun for a moment. "And they might be the ones who have to live with them." She was, of course, referring to Alois in the middle of the scene. The earmarks of long-term abuse were all over this scene. It was terrible. And yet, with magic involved, de-escalating and resolving the situation would be even more complicated than it already was.

Autumn Smith 25/25, looking on in horror Holy s**t, what had she stumbled in on? Keeping quietly to herself, Autumn made her way through the crowd to stand by Eve, watching in mute horror as he was forced to his knees and made an example of. It was a thorn in her chest- a little too raw, a little too real. Her mouth was simultaneously thick and dry, and she swallowed in an attempt to get the air back into her lungs. To get her feet to work again. All she could do was think, pray they didn't break his hand. He'd been a d**k, but he didn't deserve this. Nobody deserved this.
Had this been the last few months of his life...?
God. She had to do something. SOMEONE had to do something. But what...? She couldn't act, couldn't move. Just watched.cibarium Daughter is here, trying not to barf

25/25 | Shiloh Beaumont (masked) | Goodbye Jamie HELLOOOO DRAMA
Jamie was gone, all smiles and resolve. Pity, because the moonwalker had so much potential, and yet he let it lay to waste like the bleeding heart he was. People were always so preoccupied with the here and now and not the future. It was funny in a sad sort of way.
Left to his own devices once more, Shiloh made it a point to carry himself across the hall. He had two marks he wanted to meet up with before the night was done; One was Thorne, the other was Chris. Luckily for him, the former found him first with a rather cacophonous display; rather, Melany's distinctive voice cut through the crowd and immediately called Shiloh to attention, whether it was his name in her summons or not.
Like flies to honey, he watched the scene unfold, mouth set in a sadistic grin. This is what happened to the ungraceful, the undisciplined and the unworthy. This is what happened when you didn't know how to play the game.
He hovered around the crowd like a satellite—a hyena circling his dying prey—eyes set on Shun behind his mask. Would Melany afford him a purpose too?

The Spinel Lady: 25/25, talking to Shun "It is not cruelty to ensure that children obey the rules set down for them." The Spinel Lady spots Shiloh, smiles and gestures him over to her. "What is it humans say? Spare the rod. Spoil the child."

Thorne (Masked) | | 25/25 | | Baby brother how u doin
Thorne laid his cheek against his shoulder for a single moment and peered down at Alois with something close to fondness. To condescension. To distaste. Amusement. It was like a fractal image. Turn it one way, a picture appears. Turn it another - oh. It is something else. He was wholly at ease as the center point of this show. The noisiness of Alois's response only made him exhale sharply.
"He's rather ungraceful, isn't he?" He murmured to no one in particular, and thumbed a pattern against the crown of Alois's head. It was such a gentle motion, like an older brother cradling a sibling in distress, that someone might mistake it for something else entirely.
"As you are?" he said to Alois with a smile. "A father must punish his sons, or what would this world come to?" His eyes angled towards Melany and Ezra for a moment. He tilted his head into a slight acquiescence. A deference to the woman that held his leash.
"So," he drawled softly, kneeling in front of Alois and keeping one hand in his hair, the other traveling to hold his hand. A mockery of comfort. A threat. "Do you have an answer for the Madam?"
He was well aware of Shiloh moving to join them. If Shun, an outsider, stepped too far into Melany's bad mood, surely he could be broken just as swiftly. Shiloh was a weapon just as well as him.
For now, Alois was his.

Shun Kuroda 25/25 | Talking to Melany "I said nothing of spoiling. Discipline is not a binary affair, and either extreme is not all that effect," Shun stated, keeping his voice even and neutral still. His gaze flitted over to the others in the immediate area before settling back on Melany. Did he have any idea of how to raise a kid? No. Not really. Only personal experiences to go off of. ...There was also the fact that the unmasks weren't actually this woman's kids in the first place. "Why is it that some your children seem to be potential tithes, anyway? What is it they have done to warrant a potential death sentence upon their heads?"

Chel | 25/25 | Stalking Thorne a Lil Bit
Seeing as she'd picked up something from Shiloh and The Other(?) Thorne, she was now faced with the doppleganger of Thorne. That made things a little bit more real for her.
She approached the man, wanting nothing more than to ask him some questions. It wasn't until she was too close that she saw the altercation occuring. She only watched for now; better not to step in when she didn't understand what was going on.
"Heyyy Thorne," she said. "You uh. What's goin' on ...?"

The Spinel Lady: 25/25, talking to Shun "I have had enough of your disrespect," says the spinel lady. "I have been kind to you, haven't I? Answered your petty little questions, played your silly game... And you repay my kindness by interfering with a matter of routine discipline?" She shakes her head. "I shan't put up with this rudeness." Melany takes a deep breath. Her cheeks have an unhealthy flush to them; she is beautiful in that moment, beautiful in the way that an oncoming hurricane is beautiful. She has always been sleekly dangerous but now she is electric. "Shiloh. Darling." She looks to the masked blond, her gentle little boy. She touches his cheek with the backs of her fingers. "I'm very tired of being interrupted. If he won't apologize for his own poor upbringing, silence him."

Shun Kuroda 25/25 | Cue 10 duel commandmentsShun lifted his head to keep eye contact with Melany. No words came from him as he denied giving any sort of apology. His attention moved over to the masked Shiloh. An attack was incoming, from the sounds of it. If that was how it's going to go down, so be it. There was a subtle shift in his stance. Ready.

Autumn Smith 25/25, starting s**t "It's not really nice for a lady to go starting fights, is it?" Autumn finally called from the sidelines, disgust on her features. "What are your guests going to think? Or is this the kind of entertainment you people get off to, on this side?" She folded her arms, staring the Spinel Lady down. "I can't imagine everyone you've invited is enjoying this. What about your reputation?"

alois scholz (unmasked) || 25/25 || ow ow ow ow owowowow Alois licked his lips. In turn he chewed at the dryness caused by the pain he swallowed down. He looked to Thorne, but didn’t look. His gaze reached the moon for all anyone saw of him.
You know better, Alois. I’ve taught you ******** you, he mouthed so slightly, so dryly to the dog standing over him. To the dog with hand in his hair, a misguided gesture from a misguided copy.
„Sorry Father,“ he announced loud enough at last. „Forgive your hateful, hateful child. Just pretend he’s going srough puberty about now. Maybe it’s the hormones, after all.“
Finally his gaze, hazed and tired, found the Spinel Lady. Beautiful as always, lipstick carved sharp against porcelain skin. Inhuman perfection. „Didn’t you hear me ze first time? It’s Melany.“
And he set his teeth.
