✘ His mood had soured in its entirety. Giving her the space as she stepped back. Watching, silently waiting for the exit of the henchmen she’d sent in. “𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝚕𝚘𝚊𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚌𝚛𝚊𝚙.” ✘ The words sharply escaped under his breath.

-Her face was unamused, almost as if expecting such an answer. He seemed like an emotional person after all… A foolish thought to entertain the idea of him being ok with such an action.- “I told you before didn’t I? I’ve come for what I am owed. —>

-The older women’s face formed into a scowl at the mere thought of entertaining his idea. She would make it no secret to him as well.- “If you even think about laying your filthy hands on any part of me I’ll be sure there’s no hands for you to use to pleasure yourself again. —>

-Her fury was already nearing its breaking point, she was not a woman to be toyed with. Attempting to mess with her had its ramifications and this was no exception. With pure anger she tossed the other to a nearby wall, a loud *THUD* being heard as his back collided with the wall. —>

✘ He just shifted his gaze back to her. ✘ Adjusting an arm and popping a dislocated arm back into place. ✘ So long as he got praised and every factor that came with it. Dirty work like this or otherwise was pretty regular.

-The baroness’s face turned into an unamused expression as she heard her enforcer speak. It sickened her, she was used to her workers staying silent, staying in their lane. Yet this… rebellious sprint was at odds with her. Still, like any good ‘boss’ she needed to praise and scold when needed- —>

“Work will be needed to make you more…subservient but nothing Stockholm Syndrome can’t fix… Untie her men and take her back to the manse.” -The figure nodded and with only a bit of struggle, freed her from her binding. …only to throw her over their shoulder and walk off back to the manse.-

“Cool cool… I can feel the track vibrating…”

“Ahahahaha… My dear, let’s get one thing straight. I’m not letting you die because im not done with you. You are a toy, a puppet to move about as I see fit. To see you break so early would be dull… Besides, if I wanted you dead, you would’ve died already.”

“I did not ask to be correct, I was so generous as to come and save you. I can’t have such a recent recruit like yourself be wasted so easily. Besides, I haven’t had my fun with you yet. But… It almost seems like you don’t want my help, is that right?”

"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."@carolineb.worm.skin · last wk.

“Damascia. I prefer to keep my name professional, idle chatter is something I ‘sadly’ cannot afford these days.” -There was something about her delivery that felt disingenuous. Like she wasn’t trying to build connections or make friends. Her gaze turning back down to the city bellow.- —>

⠀⠀ “I am Nayru, and you?” She asked, she was still smiling politely. She would raise a brow at the ‘filth’ comment. She certainly didn’t see anything that would warrant that comment. “Apologies. You said filth? What do you mean by that?” ⠀⠀

“Yes… despite the filth I see down bellow it is quite nice out… and you are?” -Despite her wants to shoo off any person she came across she had dignity to uphold and a mask to protect. She needed to feign some humility, even if the other could sense the overwhelming evil within her.-

@harlotofwealth.bsky.social The feeling that this woman gave was nothing close to pure. She’s run into many similar to this woman with darkness clouding their hearts. However, she still greeted the other. “It is quite lovely today, don’t you think?”

“Excellent, let me remind you I generously took your offer and let you become my escort, as such if you disappoint me… I shall take it as a spit on my generosity, and… Well, that’s something I assume you don’t want to find out~ But for now I’ll leave you be. —>

"I understand it all my lady. I will go change at once."

“Clearly something more… presentable than what you’re wearing now. I’ll have my maids dress you accordingly, oh and of course, The mask stays on throughout your work hours, nor do I have a need for you to speak unless provoked, understand?”

"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."@carolineb.worm.skin · 2w ago

"Very good ma'am. What dress shall you have me wear?"

“If you’re going to daydream, do it off of duty. But the escort begins in about 2 hours so hurry on and get ready. You are to be escorting me from this manse to one closer to my gardens.”

"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."@carolineb.worm.skin · 2w ago

My apples have been safe, life has been good.

“Another Sunday, which means another day I’m forced to interact with the filth down bellow… Eugh.”

-The baroness watched coldly as the other walked away. Annoyance clear on her face as her gaze moved down to the gift.- “I’ll do much more than admire its scent filth… I see the value, the true beauty of these things, of this entire world~” -A sinister smile appeared on her face. —>

+ trail grew colder every minute, and he was fresh out of leads...

-As the mysterious assailant was dragged out into the light of a flickering street lamp. Their form finally came into view. A fairly tall man, clearly defined muscles, in decent street wear. Their expression of anger quickly turned to fear as they saw Amona standing right behind Denji.- —>

✘ Drags them along the ground till they fell before her. Him standing behind to pinch them between two. ✘ At this point just left to observe rather than act. She wasn’t gonna offer any reward, and no way was he gonna do extra for free.

“You seem to at least understand what being a busy woman entails. More than I can say for a majority of men who stop me in my tracks. But as I said before even if I did see your little assistant I would have no memory of it, all their faces blend together into filth after all.” —>

+ all, the time of a woman of wealth and taste like yourself is quite valuable."

“Oh you’re mistaken. Just because I’m having you guard means doesn’t mean we’re ‘buddy buddy’ as you would say. I have my own secrets I’ll keep with me to the grave and I know you have some as well, boy.” -As she continued through the alley she had a regal elegance to her stride. —>

✘ A casual remark before slowly falling into silence with the semi-serious situation. Now was the time for him to shine, to prove he could be handy or at least a good ‘silent guard’. Really wanting to seem like he could be intimidating, but it only came off like he was playing about.

“Oh Ohohohoho! My, you truly aren’t privy to the cesspit that are beasts are you? You see, the beasts that live on this earth tend to hide where no one can see them. They think the dark as a safe space, someplace where they can crawl to and embrace the filthy creatures that they are. —>

“A missing person? How unsightly…” -Great… exactly what she wanted to hear, more filth lost in the sea of trash. She seemed less than excited to be asked to help with such a matter.- “People get lost all the time, and if you’re asking whether I’ve seen them or not then I cannot say. —>

“Oh my wealth, my flowers, all of it is all of me~ I won’t let anyone take you away, never~”

-And thus, the baroness claims another poor soul. As her empire expands so too did her ambitions. She wanted to rule the continent, but who’s to say she can’t rule multiple? Maybe even the world? But that’s wishful dreaming. For now, she’ll continue ruling the poor people with an iron fist.-

"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."@carolineb.worm.skin · 3w ago

One way or another, she’ll find a way out of this…. But for now, she dons the mask and gets to work, starting to work on the bloody mess the Baroness had left behind.

“Excellent, however now you do deserve SOME punishment for talking behind my back. Spitting on my generosity isn’t going to go unpunished after all. You may not be a maid but you’ll clean this bloody mess and dispose of the body. By the time of return the floor should be spotless.- —>

"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."@carolineb.worm.skin · 3w ago

"I understand ma'am. My body is yours." She kneels down and bows in front of her new mistress, accepting (for now) her new life.

“Oh. I hadn’t expected you to soil any form of dignity you had by becoming my escort… You should know if I allow you to do this then you will no longer be able to be my maid. Though given the fear I sense from you, I don’t think we’ll be having any problems with your…disobedience any more.” —>

"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."@carolineb.worm.skin · 3w ago

She raises her voice just a bit, not yelling, just to be heard. “Yes! I think I would be excellent acting as your escort!”
