It is located in the heart of the southern slums. Located at the southern edge of the commercial district, which is home to the poorest refugees. This sector of the city is also home to many bustling businesses though due to the high population and low wages.The Crimson Fang has a strong presence in this area.
₮hє ዘσld is the name given to one of many Crimson Fang facilities in Ţhє Đαrklíght Đístríct. Each one of these Holds usually takes form as a business, but these businesses are just fronts to the secret underground world that the Crimson Fang has created for its members. Usually the Holds take the form of a tattoo parlour or a bar with a secret entrance. One would need to either be known, or be in the loop with the ever changing secret pass phrases to enter.

Rҽιƙƙα Cҽɾυʅҽαɳ : Team CADT (Cadet)  Reikka stumbled as she was thrust into the cell, bindfolded, and barely stayed upright as the momentum almost made her crash onto her face. Reikka was infuriated rather than scared, but she gave no outward indication at what was behind her relatively gagged but serene face. Reikka looked back even though she couldn't see anything, and followed her ears as she heard the cell wall slam behind her. She stood there and faced the cell door until Rurle was completely out of sight, but not before she summoned two hulking bodyguards to watch her every movement. Once the guards were in place and Rurle was out of sight, she sat on the floor, right where she stood and crossed her legs into a hopeless slump. She would wait patiently for them to decide on her fate from here on, all the while Reikka kept thinking what her friends' reactions were when she had been literally swept away on the arms of the strange woman. At some point, the woman had plopped her before they entered the city and placed the gag and blindfold on her, all in which Reikka did not protest in the least bit, but gave the woman one last look of uncomfortable contempt before her line of sight was taken from her.
Now she sat there, listening to the drip of water somewhere, only it sounded more artificial, like from a faucet, rather than the natural linings of the cave walls. The shuffling feet of the guard could be heard from where she stood. As far as she was concerned, she wasn't giving them anything satisfactory, not even her blind outrage to being taken and treated like some caged Grimm creature. But now that Reikka was left to her own devices and with no sense of mobility to her, it made her think about all the things that transpired in the cave. Why did they need to unlock in that damned place? Was all of it a setup from the beginning? Why did her friends and classmates have to suffer so much at the hands of Grimm that were far beyond their normal capacity to fend off? And why did they take her of all things? Now the question Reikka had known she needed to answer now was this: What did they intend to do with her? And what was it that they wanted from her? All these questions did nothing more than to make her wonder about the course of her fate at the hands of these mercenaries.
Even if she was lucky enough to get out here alive, she might never see her family and friends again. That notion in her head filled her with brief sadness, but no tears came, just a straightfaced acceptance of this strong inevitability. Then after several hours of pondering things in her head in a silent stoop, even though it only felt like moments to her, she heard familiar footsteps return in the direction of the door she was facing. Moonlight streamed in from somewhere, which made her realize it was already evening. The guards turned around to greet her, as the sound of the door opened and a tray was placed before her. "I can't see, how am I supposed to take what you are giving me?" She questioned with a blank voice, almost sounding like she was addressing nothing more than a hallow, concrete wall. She had no idea the stranger was eyeing her for injuries. But she did feel exceptionally uncomfortable as she sat there feeling the stranger's presence before her, silent and saying nothing. Eventually, she couldn't take the silent condemnations and said, still gagged and bound, "What do you want from me?" Reikka questioned with a low-tone voice, stern but not demanding.

 OSIRIS
Further down the hallway, the shadows seemed to gather and morph as a robed figure in all black edged closer to the group. It moved without sound as it drew closer, ever closer. And it seemed to take it's sweet time in doing so. no concern for what was around the androgynous figure, like it held absolute dominion over this space. As it neared the cell, an arm shot out, catching the mouthy guard by the neck and lifting him without effort or even the dignity of turning to face him. What followed was an expressionless voice, or, rather, series of voices, strung together seamlessly. Different ages and genders all present, even accents.
"You would do well to learn to shut your mouth unless you would like to become mute yourself." The figure swung it's arm lazily behind it chucking the guard a short distance behind it before stepping into the cell, towering over everyone present, easily reaching at least seven feet tall. "Ms Cerulean. We have a few questions for you. Depending on the answers you give us and the actions to follow, it is entirely possible that you can simply...leave. Much like Ms Green, and young Mister Gilder did." The two names had been very common in the past few months as high profile people who had simply vanished, only to return safely, if nervous wrecks, a couple weeks later.

Rҽιƙƙα Cҽɾυʅҽαɳ : Team CADT (Cadet) Reikka took a glance at the guard and at Rurle and started eating her meal in peaceful silence, not taking her eyes off Rurle as she did so, swearing to herself that whoever this girl was, she almost wanted to get back at her for taking her to this rathole. Somehow, her being mute, as the guard mentioned, did not comfort her. She wasn't scared of any of this, not yet. But she feared what would happen if she did indeed decide to make things a little messy for them. Which she didn't, if she could help it. But she had a feeling she would have to do something drastic like thrash around if they intend to sedate her and take her to the circus. First, she ate the apple, then the bread and the rest of the contents on the tray were soon gone. Reikka did not dare miss a meal under such circumstances, for she did not even know if it were to be her last.
Then a strange, hooded man with seemingly an unnatural physiology stepped into the scene from the dark hallways leading up to her cell. By this time she had already finished the food and looked up just in time to see the guards open the door for him. The man announces his presence and put the guard back in his place with a swift word, only to lock his non-revealed eyes on Reikka, who by now was frighteningly startled at the appearance of the hooded figure. Then he spoke, much to Reikka's dismay, for she did not count on his voice to sound like a snake's. By his words alone, she could not tell if he simply meant well, or he was threatening to make her disappear in the blink of an eye. And even then, Reikka remained straight-faced and stoic towards everything, not daring to give any hints of what was behind the facade of iciness and careless nuance.
"Alright, you have my permission to ask me such questions." She said with an almost whispery and dark tone, which was her attempt to speak to the creepy man without seeming like she would pounce on a whim. "But, you must promise to spare my life, however rocky you may leave such a request from someone who is in no position to make bargains." She knew they weren't going to go easy on her, she knew that she had no choice but to go along with all this. She knew they know. But she wasn't about to give up her emotional power to these kidnappers. If she was going to go down, it was with a face of confidence and indefinite direction. Even if that direction may have been 10 feet underground at this point. Deep down she was hoping she could somehow see her friends again, even though such a wish seemed as distant as the moon to her at this very second.

OSIRIS
Osiris watched as Reikka took in what was being said, aware that Rurle was taking on the role of a personal guard. Though, the threat of bodily harm really didn't concern Osiris. The notion of being given permission to ask her questions was a bit on the comical side. Reikka was not in a position to make any demands and was not being given the option to decline being asked questions,
"My dear, I'm afraid you are not in a position to either decline consent, nor to make any form of conditions. I will ask my questions whether you wish to allow me or not. As for you living, that is entirely up to you. I suggest you drop this notion that you have some degree of control here. It may cloud your judgement. Now, if you will cooperate, we'll not need to resort to any...serious measures to get the answers. If you make it out of here, you could ask your teammate how far we will go. What does she go by again? Auburn? She did cause quite the mess for us. Such a waste. Now. We shall begin with something simple. Do you know who we are and what we might be after?"
The entire time Osiris spoke, the voice changed, cycling fluidly between several mens' and womens' voices, both old and young, even the voice of a child here and there. The figure lifted it's hand lazily as the two guards recovered from the initial shock, waving them off. They looked to each other before passing Rurle the key and took their leave, lest they irritate Osiris further.

Rҽιƙƙα Cҽɾυʅҽαɳ : Team CADT (Cadet) "I will give you permission whether you ask for it or not." Reikka looked up at the two figures hovering above her and gave them a rough look, one where it neither showed her feelings of contempt, but just enough to give her demeanor a dark tone to it. "And it is exactly because you can take my life so easily is why I am giving it to you. I want to let you and Miss Silence here know that you need not resort to anything unwontedly unnecessary. I do value my life, so I will be open about my own agenda, as you have made yours clear." Reikka took a deep breath, relishing in the echo of a silence her statement had made, making sure it sunk in before they jumped to conclusions on what her voluntary stance in all this was. "Now, what do you want to know from me?" She looked up and her expression was now fierce as if she was determined to literally spill her guts out in front of them, no matter what they thought of her and her meager existence.
Honestly, she could lie to these weirdoes all she wanted, and they'd have to be forced to take a skeptical stance in her statements. She didn't have to tell them everything, and she could veil the truth here or there, but somehow she knew they'd know if she was going to lie her way through this interview. She didn't have to tell anything about herself, either. But something told her they didn't force this scenario on her just to get to know her on a deep and personal level. Whatever they were going to ask her, she knew it was going to involve the school and its protected inhabitants; maybe the whole world of the humans and Faunus was counting on her answers, for all she knew. Her choices were up to her, whether she lived or not, but it made Reikka sick to her stomach knowing she had no choice but to be honest, even if it meant costing the safety of those around her. What she says here and now could very well dictate the fate of the world she lived in. But, she tried not to think so mellow-dramatically.
When the hooded figure mentioned Auburn's name, Reikka seemed vexed at first, but then it slowly melded into a feeling of curiosity. This definitely piqued her interest... now, what did Auburn have anything to do with these questionable people? Then it slowly dawned on her: could they be, by chance, be the Crimson Fang group that imprisoned her for all those years? Reikka looked down wide-eyed as this realization hit her like a truck in slow-motion. Now she knew it was pivotal for her to be wary of what she said to them because it could put her friend Auburn in danger as well. And they knew her, knew where she was and what she did. But did they know Reikka knew as well? Reikka contemplated this in stoic silence as she waited for them to make their move and start the exchange with her and the questions she so dreaded they would ask. She was prepared for them, and she solemnly vowed she wouldn't make a peep or make a face no matter what they asked.

OSIRIS
Osiris was getting a little annoyed at the tough act Reikka was putting on. It didn't really offend them nor did it inconvenience them one bit. What annoyed them about it was the blatant egotism of it and the foolishness. This girl was in no position to act tough and, if she had any sense, she'd realize the best course of action on her part would be to humble herself. Not give serious gazes towards those who had more than ample opportunity and capability to simply end her existence and dump the corpse wherever they wished.
"Child, this attitude you possess, this pride. It will serve you little purpose among us. In fact, this may easily be looked at as some sense of superiority. We are all Faunus here. All but you. And we are tired of you humans treating our kind little better than beasts. I'm sure you can understand how quickly this attitude may lead you into trouble here. And I will warn you this once. Trouble here means one more corpse to scrape off the streets one morning. So, I suggest you demonstrate just how bright you must be and drop this foolish sense of pride. Now, I will ask once more and trust you are intelligent enough to not try to hold your ground and to simply answer the questions from here on out. Do you know who we are and why we might have abducted you?"
There was still no emotion in the series of voices that emanated from the mask and the figure barely moved at all. Suddenly, a little chunk of concrete erupted with a loud pop as though it had been blasted out of the wall directly behind Reikka. "I am far too busy to waste my time any further child. So, I suggest you simply stick to the topics I wish for you to speak of."

Rҽιƙƙα Cҽɾυʅҽαɳ : Team CADT (Cadet) Pride? Reikka knew not the meaning of it, she was merely making it clear what she wanted to say. She was simply speaking her mind. Afterall, she might not get another opportunity. And it mattered to her not whether not they were faunuses or some demon's spawn. She would have treated them as people who abducted her, and not just faunuses. She treated everyone equally anyway, so she found it silly that they would flaunt their faunus status of being looked down upon when she was treating them exactly as she would treat anyone else who would bother to steal her from where she was supposed to be; with dignity and with a proper dose of resentment. She did not see them as faunuses who fought for their rights equally, she saw them as people who wanted to make trouble for those who opposed them. And that is exactly what Reikka did not stand by.
But instead of saying anything else, she merely gave them a curt nod and quietly said, "Of course." And then she cocked her head to the side almost in a curious fashion, "And no, why did you people abduct me? I'm guessing its not just for my meager family's wealth."Post: 53

OSIRIS
Osiris withheld giving in to the temptation to punish the petulant little brat in front of them for what they read in her eyes. They could see she saw no inequality, believed she was exempt from bias towards Faunus. For the time being, it was more useful the girl remained intact. Though, she could quickly make herself less useful. When she admitted to not knowing why and guessing at a ransom being unlikely, Osiris simply stared emotionless from behind the mask.
"While a ransom would be beneficial, to be sure, there is more to it." They raised their hand and several filament-thin lines materialized into an incredibly intricate sigil in the air before the glyph itself began to move and Reikka would see an dhear her father at home, pressing for others on updates regarding her."What is far more benefit to us, is the cooperation of those with some measure of sway. Favors. Perhaps your father would be so inclined to aid us if it means getting his little girl back alive?"
Just as suddenly as the glyph formed, it began to dissolve before Osiris lowered their hand. "Though, I must admit, you have a connection to Auburn and that is perhaps the more valuable component. She is a Crimson Fang Asset. One that, sadly, fell short of expectations. Though, not disappointingly so. She killed over fifty of our members with nothing but that sword she carries and her hands and feet when she escaped. Imagine the chaos she could invoke if we could finally reign her in. The government knows very little of our group. Auburn is our greatest security leak. She knows more than all their investigators combined. She even knows little Rurle here. In their position, I could not think of a better person to send for your rescue. Can you? While we may take losses, I'm pretty sure I've got one thing that may give her pause. How do you think Auburn would react if she found out we have her daughter? I'm not even sure she knows herself. Poor thing is three years old and looks so much like her mother at that age."

Rҽιƙƙα Cҽɾυʅҽαɳ : Team CADT (Cadet) A streak of light flashed through Reikka's mind, striking her like a lightning bolt as the realization dawned. Auburn's daughter? No, this was just some trick. There's no way it could be true. It was just a tempting lure to get what they want, as they had no sense of justice and only sought to sow the seeds of chaos. But, what if it was? She needed to get the child out of here somehow. But she sat there tied and helpless, she hated feeling this way. She knew she had no choice but too cooperate. As the initial wave of mental shock passed, she looked strongly at the two figures that loomed above her. Her gaze was steady, as if to say, 'so what?' But deep inside she was a little shaken. She did not want the blood of a child to be on her hands, regardless if it was truly Auburn's daughter or some random kid they pulled up from the streets. So, they wanted to control Auburn using her own flesh and blood as leverage. And they were using herself as bait. Now the part of her that wanted to be rescued wished they could just bury her here and now. But she was not one to throw her own life aside so callously, regardless if it meant little to her captors or no matter how suicidal she was feeling at the moment.
"I see." Reikka's eyes turned downcast and clouded over. "My parents will do what you say, but Auburn won't be so easily swayed, even for her own child she knows nothing about. But what do I know?" She looked up again and her gaze was calm and a bit hard to read, as she had a lot of mixed, rushing emotions and feelings running through her mind right now. But, even so, her mind came up blank when it came to any solutions. "Now... is that all you want to hear from me?" She prompted eagerly. She knew with what she was told she won't get out of here alive so easily, even with a whole rescue effort. She did not know how well-prepared the two factions would be just to get her back. Even then, Reikka did not fear for her life, although a quiet acceptance has engulfed her. If she were to die here and now, then so be it; but she would not endanger her friends for her own sake. She absolved that if she had to, she would snuff herself out when the time had come. There was no way she was going to live to tell the tale, now that they had told her what their exact purpose and intentions were. That much she knew was true. She only hoped that her friends would know the truth before she could no longer see them.

OSIRIS
Osiris could sense the tension suddenly rise at their revelation. Reikka was tense now and when she spoke, it was more subdued. And, for a moment, she avoided eye contact. Though, she believed Auburn would not be so easily manipulated, earning her an unsettling laugh that transitioned through multiple distorted voices. "Perhaps you are right about that, however, you did not live through what she did. And she showed far more promise than her child does. Often times, Maternal instincts can come from the most unusual persons my girl. And I think Auburn's personal experience in this might just make her pause when combined with them."
Thefigure reached into the mass of robes and pulled out a large syringe, holding it out. "But, now is not the time to be discussing her. Nor would it be wise to attempt a rescue of her. I'm certain the idea crossed your mind. But, why would I expose a trump card if I had it on hand? The girl is not at this facility. For now, it is time for business. You have three options before you. One. You will be given guarded access to contact your father in order to pay off a ransom of two million. In physical currency of course. And we will release you upon confirming their validity and that they were not marked or otherwise set up to be traced. You will be drugged of course, but, you will be released somewhere public during the day at an undisclosed location.
Two. You will take this and implant a tracer in yourself. It will activate when you state you work for us. Using the organization name of course. And you will be required to say so. It is an audio device that will record and transmit what it picks up around it. And, do consider, I am quite skilled at planning for contingencies, so, I do hope you don't make the mistake of thinking there won't be one for agreeing to this one and then denying it later.
And lastly, do Neither. You are of course free to choose this one. But, there may be consequences. I do plan on using you to draw Auburn here regardless of your choice. However, if we cannot gain resources, information, or lure Auburn here within a set timespan that I will not disclose to you, then you are simply an unneeded weight dragging along behind us. And I will have you disposed of. I do strongly discourage this course however. Pretty thing like you will have a rather...unpleasant time prior to disposal in all likelihood. Now that your options are laid out for you my dear, what is your choice? The sooner you answer, the better, though, I understand if you need to weight your options. If so, tell me now. I am rather busy as you might imagine. You will be given until sunrise tomorrow to give us your answer before we simply assume you chose option number three."
