[13:32:06] tamia Darkstone had a good nights sleep, though her body was sore and still rope burned from yesterday's punishment, she had slept well on her furs. She was alive and that is what mattered to her the most. Today she was avoiding the free; it just seemed safer, especially since yesterdays events did not go to plan. So there she was, climbing up the hill, trying to find a quiet spot when she saw the ex Mistress chained to a wheel. The poor thing did not learn or learned the hard way. She stopped beside the wheel, eyes scanning over her naked form before she whispered out, "well tal there, gone from the frying pan into the fire huh?"
[13:35:53] Makani Mattercaster raised her head to expose her sunburnt face. She smiled and tried to roll her eyes but there was no moisture to add her in that so she just closed them. Her tongue inched out and tried to apply a coat of wetness to her cracked lips but it failed. She drew her tongue back in and swallowed. Her voice was weak and raspy. "I am still free and you are stiiiiill a slut."
[13:41:04] tamia Darkstone felt somewhat bad. The sun was strong, very strong at this time of the year, especially if you were naked and placed in its direct rays for a long period of time. Judging from Maka's sunburnt face she had been. Tamia noticed the attempts to moisten her lips and she frowned a bit. "Right, you are free, naked and chained twice" She pointed to the ball and chain and then to the wheel but she continued to speak, ignoring the comment about her being a slut - it was obvious to everyone she was and she embraced it. "you thirsty? need some salve?"
[13:44:05] Makani Mattercaster dropped her head to the side and groaned as it rested on her left arm. "Nope. I need nothing from you. Nothing at all and I did not submit to anyone which I will not. I just hate that my last breath will be in this place." She grumbled some thing about lunatics.
[13:47:57] tamia Darkstone shook her head and then shrugged her shoulder. She had tried to be nice to Maka who for some odd reason seemed to dislike her. "You are foolish" She furrowed her brow, her words could not be silenced. "you disgrace all Mistresses with your stubborn pride, still not learning your place amongst men. It's fine, you'll die learning that lesson or not but you can't blame anyone but yourself." She went quiet as the Chief approached and tamia moved back a bit, her face a bit red, out of anger or perhaps embarrassment, "tal, Master". She greeted him and then stayed back, since yesterday she'd been trying to avoid him.
[13:50:32] Jaym Wolfhunter had climbed the hill..spied the woman now fully nude in front of His wagon..."I do so love gifts" He said simply..His calloused hand dropped to kneat the flesh of her thigh....testing the texture...then did He note that she was not branded...and so spoke as His hand moved to the inner portion of her thigh...He turned to look at the bit of lust meat there...and spoke..."tal slave girl" He said simply...His hand still moving about her flesh...finally in view of the slave...His palm found the womans exposed sex and He held His hand there...grinding His leather clad palm there a moment..."I wonder if she is a woman fully" He mused aloud...
[13:54:48] Makani Mattercaster's eyes remained closed. She frowned a bit after Tamia lashed out like the previous time they spoke. She thought someone walked by her but she did not have the remaining sense to know the difference. "Say you want, slave girl. It matters not to me. And what would you know of being free anyway?" Maka tried to laugh but it turned into a dry cough. "And stop touching me." She frowned again. "These men must be hard up for women. You sound like a man!" Maka swayed a little to keep from being touched. She then muttered, "Get some oil on your paws while you are at it."
[13:54:53] Evela Lannock was unprepared for what awaited at the top of the hill, she had seen the quatermaster again and her pile of mending seems to grow ever higher as people learned of her services. no mater how swiftly she worked there was more, and now she saughtm better light and company as she plyed needle and thread, and though Jaym scared her, she was drawn to him as the man who literally ruled her fate right now. but this? she wasn't ready and she turned away, nearly bumping into kanda when she did, "oh.. . . tal lady." she said quietly, and then frowned, "did I get you with the needle?" she asked scanning kanda for blood
[13:58:28] tamia Darkstone held back a chuckle, aye maka was a gift already unwrapped. She watched in interest as the Master inspected maka, and she whispered out, "might want to check for dangly bits, Master, she speaks much like a man" She shook her head wondering if maka would ever learn. "I seem to know more about being free than you do" She shrugged again and sighed, trying to keep her temper in check - not wise to have another fight with maka, not with the Master here. So she stood there and watched for a moment.
[13:58:32] Jaym Wolfhunter nodded as the woman bound spoke...He replied..."I can do that..." He said...and then to the supply wagon did He walk...upon His return would His arm to be laden with a cask...Its stopper oil soaked...on the side of the cask was the silouette of a tharlarions head burned...and with that...the contents of the cask would be known...He said naught...but walked behind the wagon wheel...the cork was tugged from the hole and the cask was shaken over the wood...the scent without question horrid...but flamable beyond measure...He spoke..."I am an Alar...noble and generous to be certain He said simply" ...for there were those who were thought to be brutal without compromise...and then there was Jaym...
[14:02:12] Makani Mattercaster pulled her eyelids apart and turned to look at Tamia. She focused on her lips. "I am dying faster than I thought. You are speaking in that man voice, your lips are not moving and *sniff* *sniff* What is that smell on you?" Maka's head fell back , the wood of the spokes pressing into the wound she received from the blow to the head.
[14:02:53] Kanda Veeper had made her way to the top of the hill since it seemed to hold the only people not hiding in their wagons of having ventured off some where "Tal.." she calls out and jumps to the side before even really regarding what was going on " Oh.... my " she brushes down at her skirt and sees a few pulled threads "No no i dont think you did .." then she leifts her head hearing the woman that she had thought was balled somwhere but it seemed had actually fallen further "Hm...Thats new..wonder if shes going to get rolled around the Laager?" she speaks quietly to Eve and lets out a soft chuckle before silencing herself to actually watch and find out for a bit.
[14:05:11] Evela Lannock turned back at the smell of the fuel and frowned and watched as Jaym poured the stuff around the wagon wheel, " he's not . . . no, , , her won't will he?" she asked kanda, "He will burn her? will he? I can't stay here." she said in a paniced whisper, the needle she now gripped fiercly, piercing her own palm till she bled, "please help, I can't stay here." she whispered again, but to kanda? to jayme? to soe unknown divinity? who knows. her eyes were bright with fear.
[14:06:36] Evela Lannock: jaym*
[14:07:17] Kanda Veeper watched on and it took her a moment to realize exactly what was going on and there wasnt a moment she doubted he would do it..though not many moments had passed before she responded with equally slow words "Yes...he would..but will he? dont...know.." she sped her words up and nodded several times not knowing if she could stay up and watch it either..well she could..but might rather not "Just go to the kitchen and get a drink..learn from it.." she motions down the hill and angles her own body so she can easily look away if needed
[14:09:37] tamia Darkstone shook her head at maka and pointed behind her, but then realized maka couldn't turn to see. "it's not me, there is a Master behind you" her voice hissed out in a low whisper but she quickly took her gaze off maka and watched the Master pour the oil over the wheel. He was scary. A few more steps were taken backwards, almost tumbling down the hill but she stopped just in time. From here she could watch or turn to flee when her body decided what it wanted to do.
[14:11:29] Jaym Wolfhunter looked to the bit of lust meat called tamia...she of the dangling three...and He spoke..."fetch a faggot from the fire" He said to the girl who fell...and He spoke through the spokes of the wagon..."Oil was asked for..Oil was brought..." He said in a low voice calm....the smell of tharlarion oil heavy in the air...He turned then...seeking the slave who should have a bit of burning wood in her hand by now
[14:12:23] Kanda Veeper just decides shes going ot have a drink..and not watch..."Be well."
[14:12:25] Evela Lannock counldn't move. she was frozen to th spot and shook her head, "not here . . .. here!" she whispered shakily. "why did he let me live only to . . . . I don't understand this place at all. I don't!" she was unaware fo her beeling hand and pressed it to her stomach, leaving a blood smear on the rough dress the quatermaster had provided her with so that she would be more in debt to the man now preparing a human sacrifice. she looks to kanda bewildered, "What? waht do I learn from this?" her voice never rises beyond a panicked breath. "this is . . . obscene."
[14:12:42] Evela Lannock: bleeding*
[14:15:48] Makani Mattercaster looked up into the sky. She mistakenly thought she had been blessed with rain but then she felt no other splashes. Tamia's voice caught her attention again and she stared at her, nearly slipping out of her current state of being conscious. As she re-played the girl's words over and over again, Maka too her facial expressions to mean that someone was truly behind her. She then heard the voice again. Unable to decipher one voice from the other now, she tried to turn to see who it was but she was bound with no room to move. He asked for wood. Normally quick witted and intelligent, Maka still have not caught on.
[14:15:48] tamia Darkstone curtsied, once, twice and three times, bouncing through the air with her body. The Master had given her a command and she was quick to obey. After yesterday she feared him, and would not hesitate around him. "yes, Master" was whispered, as her usual mode for speech and with a smile given to the Mistresses watching nearby, tamia ran towards the fire. With a rep cloth in her hand she grabbed the thickest faggot she could find, flames bright on the end of it. She ran back with it, holding it before her as if she were illuminating the way during a darkened night but the only thing she illuminated was the darkness of the scene by the wagon wheel. She stood near the Master now, her voice so very soft, "i have the faggot, Master, tis ready" and she lowered her eyes to stare at the ground.
[14:18:37] Jaym Wolfhunter took the wood with fire tipped end and He moved around the front of the wheel...His voice calm as the fire was kept a ways away..."Fear should have been taught by now...for if you feel no fear...then foolishness is your only companion" He said to the woman...
[14:18:51] Evela Lannock couldn't stay still, she couldn't and she stepped forward toward Jaym. who had spared her life. who had cast her into debt, who had allowed her to remain free for wahtever reason. Eve still wasn't sure why, "Please Sir, What has she done?" she asks pointing a bloody finger toward Maka. "she is clearly injured, Sir, please I don't understand." she pleaded stepping near enough to be hear but not so near as to touch the oil, or the man. tears were hot in her eyes and thick in her voice
[14:22:28] Makani Mattercaster's eyes were stuck open now. Nothing left to allow her to blink. A shadow came before her and she tried to focus. "Focus, Maka." She whispered. Then he came into view, his hair surrounding his face like mane and the sun like fire behind him. She brought a deep breath into her lung but could not release it. She saw the fire, she smelled the oil and she saw his face. She still was not breathing. Her sun-brunt face now deepen to the color of ramberries as she stared at him.
[14:25:16] Jaym Wolfhunter 's eyes fell to the woman and He leveled the log laden with fire at her..out of reach of damage...but close enough to flicker..."You stand on the brink of disaster.show caution...and mind business yours...the tending of of the mending" He said to the woman who had interjected her plea...then back to the bound one..."I have seen naught of you but a lack of common sense...and a failure to understand the precarious place you find yourself in..." He said to the bound woman nude...He saw the oil leak off the spokes of the wagon...and then gleam on her flesh...it would be a harsh lesson...welcome to the Laager of the Alar...
[14:30:34] Evela Lannock couldn't smother a hash sob at his command but she spun and moved away to the fire, unable to leave fully, knwoing that there might be a death. and it didnt even matter that she could do nothing at all to stop it, she couldn't leave the pitiful woman fully alone she sank down by the fire and only then noticed the blood on her hand and wipped it on the grass before stabbing her needle thoguth the rent in the vest she mended. she could barely see for the tears blurring her eyes, this would not be her best work ever. she rocked slowly back and forth
[14:30:40] Makani Mattercaster: The sound of her heart beating thundered over the muffled voice around here. She recognized panic from a female voice and then correction from a male voice. He kept speaking. Now the voice of the Chieftain was directed at Maka. She felt the power of his words hitting her face. Her heart beat louder, pulling her away from them, away from the fear and from the fire. She never exhaled until her head dropped and she passed out from the events of the day.
[14:34:25] tamia Darkstone stayed quiet as she watched. Already embraced by the shadows of the dimming sun, tamia listened to maka's lesson. She would learn the hard way it seemed but she needed to learn, just like tamia had learned her own lesson the day before. The flames danced in the air, excited almost by the smell and close proximity of the oil, eager to lick it up and spread its red heat across the wood and body if it came to that. She should be appalled by the possibility but she wasn't. She was awed by the magnificence of the Master, for he was Alar and it showed in his manner of speech, stance and actions.
[14:42:22] Jaym Wolfhunter watched her fall asleep..He heard no words of understanding...nor of recanting of misaction...He would have shrugged, were it not such a lazy gesture as the womans head fell ..."You choose a poor time to sleep..." He said as the stick was lowered towards the wheel of the wagon...the nature of His ire manifest in the time spent in the instruction...
[14:42:53] Evela Lannock was appalled enough for two, or five. where the slave saw magnificence, she saw cruelty, a cat plyaing with a kill, her tears spilled down her cheeks, hot and silent now as she sat and sewed. each stich like a little heart beat measuring the tim and the seam was closing fast. even her poor wok, blinded as she was by fear and revulsion, was better than most and she felt each stitch was a portent drawing her closer to the end . . . of something. maybe he was doing to the woman waht he had done to her. maybe he would yank her back from the snapping snarling jaws of the sleen. she couldn't watch and she couldn't look away.
[14:48:12] Snake Adagio wandered up the hill seeing his Father with the girl strapped to the old wagons wheel, his arm..in one fluid movement did raise above his head and smote the woman firmly on the arse, "tal...woman...what be happening here" he said nodding towards his Father then looked to the woman for the first time and not recognising her he simply smirked having slapped her on the tush
[14:51:26] Evela Lannock was hyper aware of everything right then and turned at the sound of steps, scrubbing tears from her cheek with fingers till stained in her blood, leaving streaks of pinky red on her skin as she crouched by the fire obediently mending some shapeless item, she rose just in time for him to swat her ass and she yelped, "Hes' . . .um . . . .might burn her. I dont' kow wht but ten she passed out and he told me to mind my own business," she held upthe sewing to show him what her business was. for all sheknows it might be his tunic she is repairing. bur as she turns and get a good look at him, and he is quite pretty enough to steal even her breath, she decides it probably isnt' his. one hand rubbed her ass where he'd smacked her.
[14:51:55] Jaym Wolfhunter set the log to the wheel...the flames licked like demon tongues up and over the wooden spokes...He stepped back from the flame as it grew...and grimaced..."Even a newborn child...knows the nature of fear" He said simply
[14:56:42] Jaym Wolfhunter watched the womans now fire laden body fall as the ropes burned...her death something forgotten..."A waste of a very good wagon wheel" He said calmly...and then spoke to tamia..."Fetch a bucket...with water..." He added...
[14:58:09] tamia Darkstone glanced up, away from the image of the burning wood and burning body. It was gruesome and she almost felt the flames touching her skin with their heat. Not her lesson but lesson enough to remember her place. "yes, Master" she said, and made her way to the kitchen for the bucket of water.
[14:59:38] Evela Lannock actually winced at the words, and the sound of the fire as it grew and the sickening stench that filled the air and she clapped a hand over her mouth as if to keep from screaming. here eyes wide on Snake. and after a long moment she revised what she had told him, "He just . . .um ... . executed that woman." she siad in a harsh whisper. her eyes dry now, but wild with fear.
[14:59:41] Snake Adagio smirked as he stood watching his Father, he had watched him on many occasion over the years as he was growing into the Man he was today, nothing really suprised him any more and Sanke was every bit as cruel as his father, he looked to the garment she held up and laughed seeing the jagged stitching she had tried to repair, "im pleased that isnt mine!" he grunted at her as she turned to face him, her face was one that could light the 3 moons moons ofGor, her beauty was startling...he stood in front of the woman shielding her from the flames as the fire took hold of the one bound...only doing this to stop the woman going anywhere near ..
[15:00:37] tamia Darkstone returned just as quickly as she had left. In her hands the bucket of water. It splashed from her hurried movements, but very little spilled over the sides and most of it stayed within the bucket. Again she stood beside the chief, and raised her hands to offer the bucket to him, if he wanted. Her voice was soft, her face a mask as the smells of the burning flesh and wood filtered through the air, "the water, Master"
[15:02:56] Jaym Wolfhunter motioned towards the now dying flames...the body blackened...then He turned to His son..."We will need a cooper if this keeps up" He said to him...the woman was a burden...and occupied much time with no reward...it was an irritation to be sure...
[15:03:08] Evela Lannock coughed with the smoke and frownded as she started to breathe again, and then looked down at her work and she cursed quietly, and started to rip out the stitches, "I never do that badly." she said softly, not willing to move as the man shielded her from the sight and heat of the scene behind her. she pricked her finger as she tore out a stich and lifted it to her mouth to suck the tiny wound thoughtlessly.
[15:06:12] Snake Adagio watched the flame lick across the wagons wheel, the charred corpse of the now dead woman wilting under the pressure of fire, "tis a shame, that was a good wheel" he exclaimed and saw the woman eargly pulling at the stitching, "maybe you should let a slave do that" his eyes then followed her finger to her mouth as she sucked it between her full red lips....something was on his mind then...he simply nodded at his statement
[15:11:34] Evela Lannock shook her head and the look she cast up at him questioned his sanity, "I can sew. it's why he let me live. I think." she said and frowned down as she picked out the last few stitches. "I was just . . . . tears are not good for sewing, they make the stitchs uneven and rough and then you have to do it over, but I've never seen . . I wasn't prepared. . . . he set her on fire" she said, half explaining, half nervous babbling, "I'll just do it again and better." she said and cut the thread with her teeth, drawing it through her fingers to reknot the end of it. only then did she blink up at him, "I'm Eve." it seemed a good thing to tell him.
[15:12:41] tamia Darkstone glanced sideways at the Master Snake and the Mistress but she said nothing. From the wave given by the Chief, tamia made her way over to the wheel and with a swinging movement she let the water pour over the dying flames. The water did its job, and what was left of the fire smoked out through the air and into the sky. Surprisingly she was calm - not a tear could be seen in her eyes or stroking down her face. Not because she was unfeeling but more so because she had seen worse things. Mambas eating the flesh of a captive still alive, for no other reason than they could. That was pure madness, pure evil. This was a lesson that could have been avoided had the Mistress learned that her freedom was given by the Master and could be taken away just as easy. Lesson learned the hard way and tamia shook her head at the foolishness of it. She placed the bucket down and looked over the blackened body - it would need to cool off before it could be removed but the good thing about maka being dead - she no longer posed
[15:12:41] tamia Darkstone: a threat to tamia. For that tamia was happy. Still a shudder stroked her spine and tamia, mesmerized a moment, fully understood that she herself better watch it before she was burnt darker than the colour of her skin. The Alar, not a hellish place but hell enough if you didn't watch yourself.
