The Bunker of "Safety"

[othellovonryan]

[You find yourself in a large stone room. It has enough room to stand up, even for the tallest, and plenty of space to walk around. Likely Donnie absolutely exploded the insides of this rocky area to make this much space. The walls and corners are cut cleanly thanks to his mystic tools.]

[In the ceiling, recessed with some metal holders are crystals that shine with a warm light. A magic sunlamp.]

[There are a few inches of water on the floor, and probably most impressively is he's managed to make it so the water cycles through to the ceiling to make a light waterfall across all the walls. There are some polished boulders that provide some dry spots in the room.]

[But do make it very hard to try and write or carve things onto any surface in the room.]

[There is also a door with no handle on this side. It's half slid into the stone and has a metal cover, though any investigation will reveal the door is very thick, so probably stone makes up its center.]

[When people being dropped off]

[They can tell Donnie is coming back because the wall with the door is suddenly covered in a purple pink wall that will be shoving them across the room to push them away from the door. Then he'll open the door and drop off the person he's caught, or the food for people.]

[Each time the wall comes up, almost everytime, the walls seem to be getting...pinker.]

[Just for you guys: The Things Donnie is collecting from his connections for all this nonsense]
-Space Titanium to make Fabrications stronger from Korone
-His strength Plus Korone's strength when she's nearby until she bites someone else.
-Glyphs from Hunter
-Ninpo is always a thing
-Kraang things from Danger Memories
-Sedatives, so many sedatives
-Randy's orbment which comes with tech magic like FIRE, strength buffs under conditions, up his crit range for harder hits, makes him faster.
-Crow's guns

[ time to add some more variety to the menagerie!

technically she was dumped at the same time as Korone, but idk my bff timelines was. less then calm. or coherent— good luck getting anything but absolutely furious threatening animal noises out of her for a while.

at least she's coiled herself very firmly in one of the corners near the door, so it's easy to stay out of range until the hissing starts turning into words again. ]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Technically, Crow was dropped off here after Eve was but uh. Eve did not look real chatty at first.

In fact, she's still not really looking chatty after a bit, but he'll lift a hand in greeting anyway. ]

How're you holding up there?

[ His tone is conversational, friendly. ]

[wroughtandtempered]

[ friendly or not, she's still whipping around with her mouth open, showing off needly little fangs and much more impressive looking serrated dog-like molars. after a moment, though, she grits out: ]

I'm going to f-f-f-fucking kick his ass.

[ not exactly an answer to his question, but it's something...? ]

[bad_crowmance]

Oh, yeah.

[ His tone's still friendly and agreeable. He is also very wisely keeping his distance. ]

I'm right there with you.

[wroughtandtempered]

[ smart man. ...she's just with it enough to recognize what he's doing as far as tone, which unfortunately is the opposite of helpful (just because it's frustrating to know she fucking needs it). but at least talking about violence is there for her. ]

Piece of shit. What the fuck does he think he's doing.

[bad_crowmance]

If I had to make a wager? I'd say that he's trying to protect people he cares about.

[ Crow sighs deeply. ]

And unfortunately, I noticed so I got grabbed, too.

[ He glances at her. ]

I'm willing to try kicking his ass into sanity. Want first dibs?

[wroughtandtempered]

[ starting up another low growl, as though personally offended by the concept of someone wanting to keep her safe, and talking through it ]

Korone gets first dibs. But I want second.

I'll patch him back up for your turn.

[bluediligence]

[ TIMELINES.

Korone is out for a while, but when consciousness does come back she's quick to take stock of the situation. That includes looking in Eve's direction, cautious, assessing, with clearly sightless clouded white eyes ]

Hello-?

[ The only move she makes is sitting up on her rock. ]

[wroughtandtempered]

[ that's still enough to turn the low rattling growl from the corner into a sharp hiss, though the source of both sounds stays put ]

[bluediligence]

[ Angles herself so she isn't facing this MYSTERY PERSON head on, in an attempt to offer some privacy. She deliberately looks away. ]

Okay. Take your time.

[wroughtandtempered]

[ ...the hiss immediately peters out, and the growl drops in volume. thanks, Korone, sometimes you just can't handle being perceived while you're losing your shit

she does in fact take her time, but eventually the growling stops and is replaced by unsteady breathing. then: ]

...Korone.

[bluediligence]

[ wait - ]

Eve-san! Shit, he got you too, are you okay?

[ She doesn't turn back around, determined to let Eve choose when she's ready to be Perceived, let alone Approached ]

[wroughtandtempered]

...Dislocated some of my legs. Wouldn't hold still for the fucker.

[ said with traces of furious amusement and pride ]

[pyrighteous]

-- Eve! How many people is he bringing here??

[wroughtandtempered]

[ ...Hunter at least only gets a minor increase in volume of the angry growling, though she still opens her mouth to show him her teeth ]

[pyrighteous]

[ Oh. He backs off then, dropping to his knees. ]

Sorry. Sorry, I - it’s okay. You’re okay. We’re working on a plan.

[wroughtandtempered]

[ ...settling a little at the reassurance, at least enough to shut her mouth again and lick her nose. she's still breathing hard, though ]

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter tries to look small and unthreatening at least. ]

Did he hurt you?

[crimeson]

[quietly reassessing his initial judgment of "this is a monster meant to keep us in line" whoops.]

...Hey. Helluva club we got down here, huh?

[wroughtandtempered]

[ not the worst judgement to make, but she's stayed firmly in her corner rather than try to come after anyone, at least— despite the snarling it's very firmly scared critter behavior rather than blindly aggressive.

that's definitely turned into some fairly salty language, though, even if it's still more than half-hiss. she still turns to show her teeth when he addresses her, but— ]

...What the fuck is he thinking.

[supersmashbro]

[ Raph will personally be waiting to approach until the hissing and snarling seems to have turned back into words. The way he figures it, he's super not as familiar with Eve as some of the others, and anyone tightly coiled up in a corner to his and snarl, uh.

Is probably not so likely to be cool with a huge spiky predator species coming to hang right away. One whose brother straight up abducted them, least of all.

But he's also a big mother hen so you know. Gonna get over here eventually. ]

How you feelin'?

[wroughtandtempered]

[ appreciated, bud.

she still rumbles a little when he approaches, but there's no threat display to accompany it, and it's less on the viciously pissed off and scared side of things and more along the lines of deeply grouchy dog grumbling. ]

Like I want to fucking murder your brother.

[supersmashbro]

[ Success. In a way. Little victories are always pretty important, and that's doubly true down here. ]

Understandable, but not a great option. Once we figure out whatever's messin' with his brain, we can definitely murder that.

[wroughtandtempered]

[ ... heaves a HUGE sigh. she does not want to be reasonable about murder targets, she's fucking mad, but...

(he hadn't drugged her. there are faint traces of sedatives on nearly everyone else in the bunker, but he'd shoved her down there the relatively harder way instead.) ]

...okay. As long as I get a turn.

[supersmashbro]

[ Eve is a standup snakewolf and a very cool person. Confirmed. ]

Yeah. Cross my heart. I'm really hopin' there's gonna be part of this problem that punching can fix, y'know? That's Raph's main export.
