-picture to come soon The Fourth Floor The Fourth Floor is filled with cages and chains, much like the Fifth Floor, but the lighting is better than the topmost floor. The cages and chains hold some pretty aggressive slaves. Though they are not as dangerous as the Fifth Floor slaves, they are mean and will not care to fight back if they feel like.

| Sℓαʋє | Billions of people die for a lost cause, so now I pray for my nation destroyed under God. It's the end of the world. All my battles have been won but the war has just begun. The city looks so pretty, do you want to burn it with me? Until the skies bleed ashes and this fu cking sky crashes. ~ ♥ _____『 A ruckus started up on the fourth floor, one in particular cursing like no tomorrow. Blood was gushing from his fingers, And one of the other ones lead him away somewhere. A man was growling immensely, baring teeth that were not made for a human mouth. "You should no better than to provoke me; you are no match for a dragon." Ruby said, lunging at one side of the cage where a couple huddled and making them veer back. They'd done it now, but so had he. The restraints that held his arms by the wrists in the corners of the cage were pulled tighter, another chain looping around his torso and keeping his back pressed to the one side of the cage. His head was pulled still by a hand grabbing his hair through the cage bars, and a guard opened his cage. Ruby blinked several times. How... how dare they! They'd taped his mouth closed! The guard quickly backed out as he saw the fury build in the dragon's face. A deep angry rumble filled his throat, eyes changing from a red-tinted brown to an oak-tinted cherry red with a swirling anger. "That oughtta teach you, you purple peacock. Keep it up and you'll get a choker."
This had started when Ruby had pissed a particular guard off, a cutting remark about him being a lowlife. In turn, the guard had tried to snatch up the onyx ring had been playing with. That's what had caused the dragon to get angry beyond his usual crankiness. But he could only perform partial transformations with the damper around his neck. Dragon teeth were a little too big to fit in a human mouth, not to mention they were the wrong shape, but he had done it in the midst of fury. The male had bitten the hand that had reached for his ring, and the amateur had raked the skin off his fingers trying to yank his hand out. Now there was a small trail leading to a puddle of blood, small bits of flesh clinging to the floor. A few minutes and someone came over and cleaned up the mess with a disgusted look on his face. As always, Ruby's posture was stiff in the cage, but he leaned his head back against the bars, closing his eyes. The metallic taste of blood still lingered in his mouth.
The man had finished cleaning up the floor, but it was still drying when the dragon heard the doors opening, the guards that were left posted throughout the room shifting unhappily. What was it this time? Ruby didn't particularly care to know. There was energy in his body, but he managed very little sleep in a cage, a hostile environment. After a few long moments of closing his eyes and managing his heady anger, Ruby opened them, eyes having faded back to their vibrant cherrywood color. 』

 What's wrong with the world today A candle in the night Tell me what's all the talk about Lately I've been in a real bad place ...Can't let the world bring me down Does the song you sing Have enough meaning Inspire us to sing along ♪ ♫ ♪___Ҭɛɾɾa || ☆ ✩ ☆ || ʃcaɾɭɛʈʈ___♪ ♫ ♪ ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
Walking into the popular slave shop, young Terr Scarlett looked around once the doors shut behind him. He had no idea what he was looking for, but Terra knew that he had to find someone who would protect him. Was that even possible? Thinking about it made him frown and start to fiddle with his hands. He just had to find someone! Terra really didn't have a choice. Closing his eyes and inhaling a deep breath, the teen exhaled and started his search through the many floors. His trip through the second floor was nice, and all the slaves there were happy to please and all smiles. Still though... Terra didn't feel like any of those would be right for the task he needed them for. The next floor simply amazed him! He had never seen so many different people! All the slaves were different and some he had never ever even heard of. But still. Nothing there felt right either. Next was the fourth floor, and from all the thumping around he heard... It didn't sound like it was very safe. That shouldn't bother him seeing as he needed to be protected. Though the future was always changing, Terra just wanted to make sure that his would guarantee safety. Climbing up the stairs, Terra pressed himself against the door so a man could get by. Terra believed it was a guard and from the looks of it, he wasn't very happy for some reason...
Taking another deep breath, Terra started his look through on this floor, and he stopped when he saw a man with bright colored hair. It even appeared to be more than one color too.. Beautiful. Taking a step closer to the cage, Terra titled his head when he noticed the duck tape. Why did he have duck tape over his mouth? That didn't seem very nice at all. Crystal blue eyes started to look over the man sitting the cage some more, and his eyes brightened at the beautiful ear rings. He had never seen a ruby like that! A smile replaced his frown and a glint of wonder and amazement filled his eyes. Though the man didn't look very happy, but Terra knew that he wouldn't be very happy if he was in a cage and chains. "Um... Excuse me? I was wondering if you'd like to come home with me?" A shy smile was on his face as a tint of pink started to fill his cheeks. Was this how you were supposed to do it? Terra wasn't really sure how the process worked but he felt better with asking the man. This place didn't seem very nice to live in and his apartment would be better for them. Crouching down to where they could see eye-to-eye, Terra tried to conquer his shyness but taking to people was something he hardly did. "At my house it's warmer than this place and you'd have your own room. There is a pool and hot tub if you should ever want to swim or relax. I'd cook all your meals for you too..."
Terra was only asking this man to do one thing for him, and that was to protect him. The teen would cook for him and wash his clothes so the man would be comfortable, and wouldn't have to worry about small tasks. His apartment had all the luxuries, and if he wanted to do swimming or relax in the hot tub he could. "I-I'm looking for a protector and I just have a feeling that you're the right one..." Maybe fate just led him here? Maybe he was the right one for Terra? Of course, his powers only worked when they wanted to, but something inside of him was telling him to take this man home. However, the teen wanted to make sure that the man wanted to leave with him. It wouldn't work out if Terra forced him, and it would cause the other to hate him and not trust him. Which was something he really didn't want to happy. He was a nice and caring person! He didn't want to upset or hurt anyone. "I'm not going to force you to leave with me because I know, in the end, that it will turn out badly for us. However, if you make the choice then it would be by you own decision. Things would be happier and better if you decided." Giving him another shy smile, the teenager thought about his vision. If he had him around then he would be safe, and no one would try to hurt him, right? "The apartment is a lot quieter too. I like to have it quiet so I can concentrate on my painting better, save for the music playing but that always seems to help. But if you don't like music, I can turn it off. I just want you to be comfortable.."
Lowering his eyelids, his gaze looked to the floor. Terra truly hoped that the man would want to come with him, because the teen didn't know if he'd have the same feeling with any of the others. Especially the fifth floor, he had heard rumors of that floor and Terra didn't want to go there. He really didn't want to find his death there. "So what do you say? Would you like to live with me?" Bright blue eyes looked up into the cherry-wood orbs, and a hopeful smile appeared on his face. Maybe, just maybe this man would come to live with him.

 Ruby Kane Astara [ Let's | Watch | This | City | B u r n | From | The | Skylines | On | Top | Of | The | W o r l d ]
[ L e t ' s | Watch | T h i s | C i t y | B u r n | T h e | World ]
| Sℓαʋє | Billions of people die for a lost cause, so now I pray for my nation destroyed under God. It's the end of the world. All my battles have been won but the war has just begun. The city looks so pretty, do you want to burn it with me? Until the skies bleed ashes and this fu cking sky crashes. ~ ♥ _____『 Ruby froze when he saw what stood in front of his cage. Or... sat.. Sinking to his level? It made his face a pattern of irritation and skepticism. But it did look as if the other meant no harm, too gentle of nature. Why the hell had he come all the way up here? Well, what he was saying certainly didn't seem like he was going to treat the dragon as a slave. Dragons were not meant to be slaves! They were much more noble than that. He shrugged his shoulders at first, jaw shifting as he leaned forward. But he couldn't lean forward very far; the restraints around his chest were tightly in place, so he sagged against them and was still stuck sitting up. Flicking his eyes up, above the boy's head, Ruby noticed all the guards standing at attention, most of them watching him. After that scandal that had just taken place, he wasn't surprised. He did one almost slow blink at one of the guards, and it was in fact the one that had sealed him mouth shut.
Without waiting for an answer, Ruby looked down at the master in front of his cage again, drawing his attention back to him when he had started speaking again. It was a good thing that he said he wouldn't force him, because he'd have a hell of a time doing it; on top of that, he didn't look very capable of it. He was compromising his comforting habits for a protector. Money, housework; though that he was probably use to, as he looked like someone who lived alone, but he didn't look like someone who should live alone. Not for safety purposes, but as that just seemed the type of person he was: a people pleaser. That, too, was fine with Ruby. There didn't seem any danger there, and at the least, he wouldn't be treated like a slave or a pet.
Sitting straight again, the dragon pressed his back to the cage wall, and the chains sagged a little. Cherry eyes darkened a couple of shades, as Ruby seemed to be weighing the options. He stared at the master like he could stare through him, an unnerving gaze as he leveled the trust amount of this creature. But his shoulders dropped, and he looked skeptical again when he said 'what do you say?' Wiggling his jaw more, Ruby sighed, nodding his head, face almost seeming to say, "I am going to regret doing this, I know it." But those crystal clear orbs, hope sparkling in them, made him glad he at least stood up to try it. It was the first time someone had outright asked him to go from square one. He seemed straight forward enough. Though his eyes reminded Ruby of his family, his home. His mother had had crystal armor, it was nostalgically relaxing. 』

Seeing the man in the cage look up, Terra tilted his head to the side. What was he looking at? Turning his head, to look over his shoulder, the teen noticed the guards close by. Wonder why there were so focused on the other man? Odd... Looking back at his hopefully soon to be protector, Terra started to name off all the things the apartment had to offer. That he would even cook for him too! Giving him a hopeful smile, Terra asked him once more if he'd like to live with him. What the man trapped inside of the cage did next made the art student smile brightly. "Oh!! You do! How very nice and kind of you! I promise that you will be comfortable." Now that they got past this... how was he supposed to get him out of the cage? Standing up and looking around, with a terribly confused look on his face, Terra's brows furrowed in thought. Was he supposed to ask someone? Like that guards who were gathered behind him? That made enough sense seeing as they had keys on their belts. Approaching the tallest one in the group, Terra gave him a small smile. "Um.. well, can you let him out? He wants to come home with me, and I'd like to take him with me." This was all weird... It didn't feel very right buying another being, no matter what the race, but Terra saw it as saving the poor man!
Waiting silently for the door to be opened, the teen was confused as to why they were just standing there. Did he say something wrong or was there another reason why? "I'm afraid I'm not understanding any of this. Is there another way to get him out, or is there something I'm supposed to do first?" The guards all chuckled and shook their heads at him, which confused Terra ll the more. Was it something he said? "What makes you think you can handle him? Dragons aren't good pets especially this arrogant one." That wasn't very nice to say and Terra wasn't going to treat him like a pet. "He.. he isn't going to be a pet or a slave... He is going to be more than that, and he will be great like Dragons are known to be. So please let him out now?" Gaining a determined look, blue eyes looked up at the taller men. They were still just standing there and unmoving, like statues. SO Terra did what his grandmother told him many years ago. Flinching as if he was in pain, Terra winced and buckled over before slowly standing up straight with a blank expression. His face pale and his eyes seemed to become dull. "I can sense an upcoming accident for each of you... All of which involve that man... If you wish to live then you had better get rid of him..." Falling to a knee, Terra put a hand to his forehead like he had a headache. Shaking his head and slowly standing up, Terra gave the guards a confused look. "Oh dear... it happened again didn't it... I hate my visions. I didn't say anything disturbing did I?"
Giving all the now pale guards a smile, Terra asked if he could have the man inside of the cage. This time was the reaction he wanted, and the art student held back the giggle that threatened to come out. Once the cage was opened and the chains released, Terra waited for the dragon to step out before coming to stand in front of him. Reaching up and taking off the tape as gently as possible, Terra smiled gently at him. "My name is Terra and thank you... Are you ready to go then?" Leaving more than enough money for the man's freedom, Terra was stopped by some guards once more. "In order to leave, he needs to be on a leash so here." Attaching the thing and handing it to the teen, Terra frowned and looked up at his new friend. This wasn't very good. "As soon as you get out of the building you can keep it or trash it. We don't care as long as you don't bring him back." Promising that he wouldn't the teen left the store, and as soon as they walked out Terra threw the leash away. "I'm sorry about that but I was afraid after that trick earlier that we wouldn't be able to leave. I hope you aren't mad with me."
Gently smiling, the teen lead him to his car and climbed in after his new friend did. Once everything was all settled in and buckled up, Terra started the drive to his apartment. ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄

The city looks so pretty, do you want to burn it with me? Until the skies bleed ashes and this fu cking sky crashes. ~ ♥ _____『 Almost staring at the others' unsurety of what he was doing, Ruby sighed, closing his eyes. When he heard the cage door open he looked up, waiting. He growled at their words, though he knew it would only make what they said seem more believable. Ruby smirked under the constraint of the tape; good boy, he knew what he was dealing with. Mostly. Well, he had an idea at least. That was better than the guards, as from the looks of it they were cocky and not very smart. Depending on which way you looked at it, the dragon had ground to stand on; they got carried away hanging around people in cages all day. Of course, Ruby looked startled when he saw the master double over as though in pain, jumping to lunge forward, and barely able to move an inch because he was still locked in place. What the hell? What happened? What was this, some freaky voodoo s**t? He looked almost possessed to the dragon, when he spoke. But what he heard made him scoff. This kid wasn't as innocent and honest as he thought; he knew a filthy man when he saw one.
Behind the guards backs Ruby could see the kid's effort to hold back his amusement. He stayed perfectly still as the shaky guard crawled into to get the lock on his torso, the other guards loosening the chains on his arms. The guard moved away as fast as he could, and the dragon let him, stepping smoothly out of the cage, slower than he might have if he hadn't been stiff from not being able to move, joints popping with released tension. Though he was in front of the short boy as soon as he stepped out, and he found the tape being taken off for him, tensing as it was slowly peeled off. Wiggling his jaw, Ruby simply stood there, chuckling, obviously at the stunt the other had pulled to get him out. But when the leash was handed over, he nodded at the master and waited until it was transferred from the guards hand. When it was, the dragon glanced at the guard menacingly, turning to him with a snarl before Terra could latch on the leash, making him skitter back and the rest of the guards stand at attention, ready to jump him. "You better hope I never see you mongrels again, or you'll be sorry more than you know," he said arrogantly, hmphing as he lifted his chin, leaving more space for Terra to clip the leash on, eyes still on the guards.
As they started to exit the floor, the dragon shifted his teeth back to human ones, giving his body one good shake like a dog, before webbed blood red wings lashed out into the air, making the guards curse, having been surprised to see it happen. Ruby walked close enough to Terra that slack stayed on the collar, simply having no reaction as the leash tossed as soon as they stepped foot outside. When he apologized, Ruby smirked. "You're smart, I'll give you that. You didn't look like someone daring enough to pull a stunt like that. Call me Kane; just don't piss me off and I'm sure we'll get along fine," he remarked, flexing shining wings that looked like a distant reflection of fire when flashed into the direct sunlight. Torso leaned back comfortably, the dragon spun the onyx ring on his pinkie, stuffing one hand into his pants' pocket as he got into the car he followed Terra to. 』

 ╚═══════════════════ » Ḯ ʋ ע_Ͽ ɭ a ᴙ ᴙ i ᴤ a_ ß ℓ a c ₭ xxxxxxxxxxTHE s l a v e xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxWell this place was a change, that was sure. Ivy was not the most vicious slave on the forth floor but she had been placed here because of her tendency to fight back. The lower floors were filled with those who had been broken, and many might have guessed that with how long she had been in the trade that she would have been down there with the rest of them. Part of it might have been luck, but her strong will definitely had played a key in the fact that she had been able to withstand being a slave up until this point.
Ivy sighed and shook her limbs just to hear the chains rattle. There had been no need for a cage seeing as she was human and the shackles were enough to keep her tied down. On the other hand Ivy was not afraid to do her best and be difficult for those that passed her by. She had actually been able to trip someone once just using her chains, and had been rather proud of herself to boot. Her last master had not been very fond of her attitude though and made sure she knew of it often. Without even seeing her body Ivy was well aware of the bruises and scars that littered her skin from her final beating before she ended up in this place. Her outfit covered a good amount of them, though if one looked closely through her torn black stockings the black and blue markings would not be hard to find.
Besides her torn stockings, the scuffed mary-janes and low, form fitting, purple dress, was a far cry from what Ivy would call an outfit. While being a grown woman, the fact that she rarely got to dress herself really irked her. She had no choice in what part of her body would be on display for the world to see and what she could hide away. Ivy had a fuller hour-glass shape that her last master liked to caress. Those touches had cause much more of her fighting and anger than anything else. Having been a slave since a young age Ivy had never loved anyone but her parents, had never shared a romantic kiss, or for that matter had thoughts of doing anything further with a man.
”Once you back down once, you'll back down twice to hide the first. Before you know it, you'll stand confused among your zigzagged footprints, even forgetting the direction that you first intended to take.”

 ☆═━┈┈┈┈━═☆ Ⓣ Ⓞ Ⓜ Ⓜ Ⓨ ☆═━┈┈┈┈━═☆ Tommy growled and kicked at the locked caged door. "Why do I need to stay in this stupid cage again! I was good, this time I swear!" the red haired boy shouted loudly as he kicked out at the cage door a few more times. He wanted to teleport right out of the cage but it was simply way too small. A guard walked by with a smirk and Tommy picked up his food bowl, throwing it at the man and hitting him in the arm with a giggle. "I hate you mister!" Tommy called out after him. The man picked the bowl up and continued walking as if nothing happened. Suddenly it was in Tommy's hand again. While the guard looked around for it, Tommy tossed it again, just missing his head.
"Bad boys don't get lunch," the man said as he approached Tommy and the red haired boy growled in frustration before he dropped the f-bomb with a couple rude remarks towards the man, who seemed shocked that the little boy in the cage would use such language. When he simply left, Tommy flopped onto the bottom of his cage with a soft "Hmpf," as he pouted. Tommy had been sent back by his last master when he'd been cooking the man dinner. Tommy had only picked up the knife to chop the veggies (ew) up and when his master saw, he freaked out and sent Tommy back to the market. He really hasn't been trying to kill anyone this time. Although he would have gotten to it eventually. Tommy hated all of his masters anyways. They always sent him back to the slave shop when he tried to get rid of them but he would rather be in the slave shop anyways. The people who bought him were all perverts too. They always wanted a cute pet but Tommy refused to let them have one if it was supposed to be him.
Tommy kicked at the door once more and growled under his breath. "It stinks more than usual!" Tommy shouted, sitting up. He honestly just wanted some attention. He wished he would have someone to bother to pass the time. "You guys should really do something about it..." he said, giving up and trailing off at the end of his sentence. No one was paying attention to him. They were all ignoring him and Tommy hated it...

 ☆═━┈┈┈┈━═☆ Ⓣ Ⓞ Ⓜ Ⓜ Ⓨ ☆═━┈┈┈┈━═☆
Tommy had a permanent frown on his face by now. Masters walked by him without a second glance at the red haired boy. Over and over again he attempted to poof out of his cage but it was no use. The cage felt too small and constricting. Whining every now and then at the guards, he kicked at the cage door whenever they didn't allow him to leave his cage. Tommy absolutely hated it here. "This is no fair! I wasn't causing trouble this time! You have to let me out!" he cried as the next guard walked by him. Sitting back, Tommy thrashed like a child throwing a tantrum and kicked at the closets things, which were the metal bars of the cage. Loud clanking rang out through the floor as Tommy shouted and announced to the whole place that he wanted out.
Maybe this was why everyone was ignoring him. Pouting, Tommy finally gave up when he was out of breath. He sat down with his eyebrows knit into a frown while his bottom lip jutted out in a immature fashion. His eyes were wet with frustrated tears and Tommy continuously rubbed them away so much his eyes were red. Every now and then he let out a loud huff and kicked at his cage. Each kick got him a guard telling him to shut up but that attention was better than nothing. Eventually the guards began ignoring his kicking so Tommy stopped, unhappy with the lack of attention he was getting. This was no fair... And it was no fun either.
