Her face goes pale once again, the young woman could undress there is no need to have Alcina do it for her. "I can undress. I do not need any help from you." To think this woman would suggest such a thing. That is such a total violation of comfort. With a huff, she continues looking out the window. She hears the sound of the horses as they travel along the roads to the castle. The blonde's blue hues seem to focus on the road ahead. The village is almost dead and silent. This place sucks so far.

He remains silent as she tears up, Karl focused on other things he had to take care of in the factory. Including Ari now. "Your friends are lucky to not have been caught by Miranda. Now, that new friend of yours and your outside friends should be forgotten. Since, you both will not see each other for a while. I doubt my sister will bring the blond outside anytime soon." His gaze focuses on the road ahead. "Don't worry about these cuffs, I'll remove them once we at in my factory."

[elizabeth--mateescu]

Curiosity consumes Elizabeth, with her hand on Daniela's head. She feels the cadou moving in the young woman's head. Being thoroughly creeped out the blonde quickly removes her hand. It felt gross and feeling it pulsating is unlike anything she had felt before. "It's so weird. I guess this thing grants you all with your abilities? I have never seen this before."

Cassandra nods. "That is a great idea. The carriage ride will help calm her down and maybe with her anxiety gone she'll be more likely to interact with us." The brunette continues smiling as she looks at her mother.

"Of course not, Miranda can't be taken out alone. The woman has an army behind her. So I have created my own. You will see what it is after dinner is done." His face beams with pride as he speaks. The day he can kill Miranda will be the day he can get his identity back. The priestess will not know what hits her. The only problem is finding the best time to strike. "Then I will not have to deal with my annoying siblings again. Whatever the villagers do with their lives is up to them, it will no longer be my problem."

[abbawife-moved]

“I guess you can say it does!” Daniela shrugs nonchalantly. “Most people who receive it morph into something, but we look relatively normal. We don’t remember our lives before we were given this gift, but it’s okay! We have mother to love and care for us. And love and care, she does!” She looks to her mother, who is chatting with her older sister. The way she looks at her, it’s like she idolizes her. “You are lucky to have been chosen by her.”

“Auntie Donna doesn’t like rare meats like we do,” Bela points out. “Maybe she would like something like chicken or fish! Just like our new friend.”

Ari listens to him and his plans. He’s been planning this for quite a long time, it seems. She’s the tiniest bit excited to see what he is manufacturing to kill her, but she suspects it might be a bit harder and more difficult than he may think. Still, she doesn’t say this, and looks up at him with a concerned look. “You have to make sure you’re very careful. I don’t know what she is capable of, but to keep you in this place for so many years…” she trails off. “What do you plan to do when you kill her? You’ll be free of her and this village, but where will you go? What will you do? You’ve been in this place your entire life and modern society is pretty much a mystery to all who lives here.”

[elizabeth--mateescu]

The blonde listens to Daniela, the young woman clearly admires her mother a lot. Being shown the cadou by Daniela only brings more questions to her mind. "Do you mean like those Lycans I encountered? It seems those things were human at some point. Which means they were experimented on?" This fact makes Elizabeth feel distraught. How can you take a human life and risk experimenting and turning them into such ferocious creatures?

Cassandra looks at her older sibling. "Hunting more manthings sounds fun and while we are hunting we can also hunt a pig or chicken down. Fresh food is the best after all." Her grin becomes more twisted. "I love hearing their screams."

"I do not know, but I will make a better life for myself. Maybe even return to Germany and learn more about my cultural history." That was a great question, to be honest, Heisenberg had not thought of things such as that. The only thing he focused on now was killing Miranda. "They won't know what hits them." His grin becomes wider. "No more supersized bitch, No more stupid meetings, and No more Miranda." One of the lords was skeptical of him, namely Alcina, the tall woman who often questions his loyalty to Miranda. She was wise to do so, but since he was Miranda's favorite, she had not questioned his loyalty, or did she?

[abbawife-moved]

"Ding ding ding!" Daniela chirps, clasping her hands together with a big grin on her face. "All those Lycans you see, they were once villagers or foreigners like you! I was human, Daniela and Cassandra were human, Mother was human... even Uncle Moreau was human! I know it's hard to even think about when he looks as grotesque as he does now, but I think he was a sailor or something!" She pats her new friend on the arm, a twinkle in her eye. "Maybe if Mother Miranda is feeling nice enough, she will give you and the other girl a Cadou as well!"

"Yes, perfect," Alcina smiles in response. She threads her fingers together and decides that yes, her daughters have had great ideas. "I will call your Aunt Donna and she can come over. She usually doesn't refuse an invitation anyway, and I'm sure she will have a lovely time. She always does when she is here."

Ari hums a bit. She understands why he wants to kill Miranda and be away from this place. But he doesn't know anything aside from the village and her so-called leadership. It's just like prisoners when they get out of prison after decades of being inside - there is no way to go back into society without help... Heisenberg doesn't even remember being in society in the first place. Who would help him integrate? Who would help him along the way? She supposes, if she is still alive, she will have to do that for him. Ugh, why is she thinking about staying with this guy?! Has she gone insane?! She looks away, pouting slightly at her stupid mind. "Going to Germany would be a much different experience than here. Lots of people, good food, beautiful sights..."

[elizabeth--mateescu]

There is a pause, Elizabeth did not expect Bela to ask such a question in the short amount of time she has been here. "Alright, I do not see why not." Thinking as the eldest child clasped her hands together, Elizabeth recalls the three girls turning into a swarm of flies the previous night. She wanted to know why.

Suddenly, Cassandra, the middle child comes into the room. "Mother! Your home!" The brunette is the most obedient and loyal of the three daughters. She enjoys hunting prey or humans a great deal of the time. To Elizabeth, the young women appeared somewhat normal. Besides the blood covering their mouths.

Returning to the room, Heisenberg gives her a plate. He did not enjoy cooking often and often made quick things throughout the day. Maybe a well-cooked meal is what he needed. "You can cook food too if you want. I do not cook often myself. It is not something I enjoy doing myself." He takes a bite of his sandwich. He had put various condiments on them both. Lettuce, tomato, and mayo. "It's not much but it may satisfy your hunger until dinnertime." The factory had been quiet since they had returned. The usual sound of metal could not be heard. "I am going to buy a heater regardless. Can't have you getting sick.'

[abbawife-moved]

Daniela peeks into the room as well, grinning at the sight of her mother and new friend. Like the other women, she has blood covering her face, though the majority of it is upon her chin. "Mother!" She exclaims before rushing inside. She circles Elizabeth curiously, her eyes lit up with the realization that this is a new dress that she is wearing! "Mother, you must have brought her to Auntie Donna! This is beautiful!" She leans close to Elizabeth. "Hey, hey, Angie is totally cute, isn't she?"

Alcina puts her hand on her daughter's shoulder gently. "Daniela, darling. Please don't frighten her. This is all very new for her so we have to treat her softly. Do you understand?" She says, to which the youngest daughter pouts a bit, but still nods.

"Thank you," Ari takes the plate from him in a ginger manner. She wastes no time in starting to eat her sandwich. For a normally polite girl, she sure can eat in huge bites. "You don't seem like the domestic type of man anyway. You're always working on all sorts of things in this place and you don't have much of a break for yourself." She takes another large bite, but is decent enough to swallow before she speaks again. "I love to cook, though. It was one of my favorite pastimes and I learned a lot about how to make my own pasta in Italy. Did you know their flour is completely different than American flour?" She's smiling slightly as she speaks about it. "Food, to me, is a symbol of love. I always wanted to cook for someone I loved."

[elizabeth--mateescu]

Elizabeth watches as the youngest daughter circles around her. The blonde begins to answer the question about Angie, personally, the doll had creeped her out if anything else. "I think Angie is cool to look at but she scares me. I am not used to seeing dolls move on their own." The three girls seemed to be very interested in her.

Cassandra remains quiet, although there's a bright smile on her face. "How is auntie Donna, Mother?* The middle child asks as she looks to the taller woman. Cassandra did keep herself occupied but things were more fun when Alcina was home.

"No, I did not know that. I do not have a wide knowledge of cooking food from other countries. I have not left the village since I was bought here against my will as an infant." He takes a bite of his sandwich. As he continues listening to Ari speak. "Well, it's up to you if you would like to cook something. I know a home-cooked meal is better than eating a sandwich." He chuckles. "Cook as much as you want."

[abbawife-moved]

"Eh, don't you know? Angie isn't just some random doll. She makes dolls that don't move all the time. They're a prize in this village!" Daniela waves her hand about, an easygoing smile on her face. "Angie is special 'cause Auntie Donna split her Cadou to bring her to life. That's why we all are immortal and aren't nearly as human as you! We don't have hearts... in the physical sense, anyway! Haha!"

"Donna isn't doing too well... she was happy to help, she always is, but she's been feeling neglected by Mother Miranda. I offered to talk to her for her, but I think she is concerned about retaliation for it." She rubs her cheek in thought. "Perhaps we should invite her over sometime. Maybe that will lift her spirits."

"Man, talk about a shame. There's so much beauty in other cultures, Heisenberg. You don't even know." Ari straightens her back, almost leaning back a bit, reminiscing on her travels. "I thought I knew prior to traveling across the world. But it's so much better than what I could have imagined." There's a moment of silence before she seems to get an idea. A small, cheeky smile comes upon her face and she points at him. "Tell you what. If I make you a pasta dish that knocks the pants off of you, you have to show me what you make here. If it doesn't, I'll do whatever you want."

[elizabeth--mateescu]

Elizabeth listens to Daniela, the youngest Dimitrescu daughter sure is an energetic individual. "Cadou? What is a Cadou?" She had heard of such a thing but she had very little information about it. Looking at Daniela, she merely smiles. "I did not notice the other dolls, just Angie but there's more? I know to avoid that place more often." She shudders.

Cassandra nods. "Of course mother, I would love to see Angie and auntie Donna! It has been a while." The middle daughter smiles becoming excited.

"Not like I had much of a choice in not exploring the world." His face becomes stern as he talks. "Miranda determined my life from the moment she had kidnapped me." There were moments where he often thought of living freely without the bullshit Miranda had put them through. The priestess thought of them as nothing more than failed experiments and Karl is the only one who sees this, the others are blindly loyal to Miranda. "I plan on killing her one day. Hopefully sometime soon. She took much more from me than just my home. She took my identity."

[abbawife-moved]

"Angie is the most important of all the dolls!" Daniela claims. She reaches over and takes Elizabeth's hand. "So you want to know what a Cadou is. Just promise me you won't freak out when you feel it, okay?" She directs the blonde's hand to her head. Most people get their hearts replaced, but she and the rest of her sisters received the gift upon their heads. She still has her heart, so to speak, but it just... doesn't beat. The skin doesn't move for a second, but then... it almost feels like something is wriggling against the girl's hand, just underneath Daniela's skin.

"You know that Donna has always been a bit anxious about seeing people... Maybe if I send Georgio to pick her up, she will be able to calm her nerves..." Alcina hums before glancing at what her youngest daughter is doing. "Daniela, what did I say about disturbing your Cadou?"

Ari listens to him carefully. It was just as she thought - Heisenberg loathes the woman that claims to be his mother. She took him away from a normal life, one that he could enjoy just like the typical human could, to be a part of her sick scheme. She furrows her brows a bit... she hadn't expected him to want to take her on just by himself, but if she were to be killed, she would certainly have it coming. "Okay, I think that's completely justified. There's no other way to get away from her clutches since it hasn't been possible in the years you've been in this place. But how?" She looks at him, curiously but also a bit concerned. "How will you take her down? Just by yourself?"

His gaze focuses on the road ahead. "Don't worry about these cuffs, I'll remove them once we at in my factory."

[elizabeth--mateescu]

The confusion on her face fades as she listens to Alcina's explanation. She had learned about the upper class preserving to date within their class because they felt superior to those below them. To have a woman of such intelligence interested in her made Elizabeth feel shocked. "I guess you can say I am more tolerable than some people." The blonde looks away as she hides the blush on her face. "I just did not expect this to be chosen because I fit your tastes."

"Maybe something fucked up happened in her past. I am not too sure and I do not care to know about it. I and she are not the closest of siblings." She has too big of an ego and looks down on others." Noticing Ari becomes cold, he makes a mental note to buy a heater for her. "Well, I guess I need to buy something to keep you warm. The factory does not have such luxurious things as my sister's castle." With that being said, Heisenberg begins to walk away. His stomach begins growling as well. "Sandwiches will be ready soon."

[abbawife-moved]

Alcina finds her to be cute, trying to hide her embarrassment like this. But she's a very perceptive woman - she notices just about everything when it comes to people's emotions. "I actually quite enjoy your company. It's a pain trying to deal with people, sometimes, but I don't have a problem with you." Well, aside from those comments she made about Mother Miranda, but still. It happened and now they've moved on. She unlocks the castle's doors and opens them specifically for Elizabeth to go in first, a smile on her lips. "I think you will come to be surprised about many things about me."

"I've noticed you guys fight like cats and dogs. It's like I wasn't even seeing a friendly little dispute. You guys looked like you wanted to hurt each other over us girls." She looks down at her hands, a tiny grin on her face. It's stupid. They were arguing about it like two kids would about some doll or something. "I don't mean to be needy, or anything. I can probably just huddle into the blankets or something. It just didn't get this cold when I was in Naples." She watches him go, nodding a bit at what he said. Even though he's an asshole, he always seems to see right through her for some reason. Is she that obvious, or can he read minds or something?

[elizabeth--mateescu]

Elizabeth gets the feeling Alcina's aware of her blushing. Looking as the doors are open she walks inside the castle. She hears the sound of insects buzzing in the other room not long after the sound of three women speaking with one another. It had to have been the three daughters from the other night. It seems they were close to their mother and almost knew when to greet her at the doors. "It seems your daughters are related to see you return home. I imagine they must miss you a lot when you are gone." She looks around the dining room noticing the huge table and how spotless it was. "I look forward to learning more." This was strange the countess seems almost human.

Listening to her speak about her observations made Karl scratch his head before he spoke. "She and I always fight like that when it comes to who gets to have the prisoners. She thinks Miranda will give her whatever she wants. The woman is spoiled to the core and I don't like her very much." There were many times the two classes at the family meetings he can't count them on both his hands because they occurred so damn often, it was almost expected for Alcina to make her protests and express her frustration for a decision Miranda made that she did not like. His other two siblings always faded into the background and did not say anything but Karl always stood his ground against her.

Once Karl arrives at the kitchen he makes sandwiches for both of them.

"I suppose they do miss me when I am gone. They always find ways to entertain themselves in my absence, though," Alcina smiles just thinking about her three little girls. Well, they're not little - they're adults, but she still looks at them the same way she did when she first received them. She walks in after Elizabeth, shutting the door behind her. Bela, her eldest, is the first to come to greet the two ladies.

"Welcome home, mother. And welcome home to you, too," Bela greets them, a soft smile on her face. She's always been the quietest out of the three sisters, and the most polite. "Will you be joining us for dinner tonight?" She asks Elizabeth, placing her hands together in a hopeful manner.

Ari, despite how fucked up this whole situation is, can't help but snort. So this isn't the first time that they've fought over whoever the hell comes into this place. She knew that she wasn't different like the others, really. She just got lucky that she survived... or perhaps, like he said, she's "brave and smart." She doesn't like to brag or anything, so she doesn't confirm that for herself. Is it really brave to be in this place, not trying to fight him or anything of that nature? Or is that smart? God, she doesn't know. Still, she waits patiently for the man to return. She's really freaking hungry. All she had was that little breakfast early in the morning and that was it. She should really try to convince him to let her cook, she's used to making big meals because she learned from her nana. The lady had five kids and a husband, she had to cook for a party size!

Her face goes pale once again, the young woman could undress there is no need to have Alcina do it for her. "I can undress. I do not need any help from you." To think this woman would suggest such a thing. That is such a total violation of comfort. With a huff, she continues looking out the window. She hears the sound of the horses as they travel along the roads to the castle. The blonde's blue hues seem to focus on the road ahead. The village is almost dead and silent. This place sucks so far.

He remains silent as she tears up, Karl focused on other things he had to take care of in the factory. Including Ari now. "Your friends are lucky to not have been caught by Miranda. Now, that new friend of yours and your outside friends should be forgotten. Since, you both will not see each other for a while. I doubt my sister will bring the blond outside anytime soon." His gaze focuses on the road ahead. "Don't worry about these cuffs, I'll remove them once we at in my factory."

[elizabeth--mateescu]

The confusion on her face fades as she listens to Alcina's explanation. She had learned about the upper class preserving to date within their class because they felt superior to those below them. To have a woman of such intelligence interested in her made Elizabeth feel shocked. "I guess you can say I am more tolerable than some people." The blonde looks away as she hides the blush on her face. "I just did not expect this to be chosen because I fit your tastes."

"Maybe something fucked up happened in her past. I am not too sure and I do not care to know about it. I and she are not the closest of siblings." She has too big of an ego and looks down on others." Noticing Ari becomes cold, he makes a mental note to buy a heater for her. "Well, I guess I need to buy something to keep you warm. The factory does not have such luxurious things as my sister's castle." With that being said, Heisenberg begins to walk away. His stomach begins growling as well. "Sandwiches will be ready soon."

[abbawife-moved]

Alcina finds her to be cute, trying to hide her embarrassment like this. But she's a very perceptive woman - she notices just about everything when it comes to people's emotions. "I actually quite enjoy your company. It's a pain trying to deal with people, sometimes, but I don't have a problem with you." Well, aside from those comments she made about Mother Miranda, but still. It happened and now they've moved on. She unlocks the castle's doors and opens them specifically for Elizabeth to go in first, a smile on her lips. "I think you will come to be surprised about many things about me."

"I've noticed you guys fight like cats and dogs. It's like I wasn't even seeing a friendly little dispute. You guys looked like you wanted to hurt each other over us girls." She looks down at her hands, a tiny grin on her face. It's stupid. They were arguing about it like two kids would about some doll or something. "I don't mean to be needy, or anything. I can probably just huddle into the blankets or something. It just didn't get this cold when I was in Naples." She watches him go, nodding a bit at what he said. Even though he's an asshole, he always seems to see right through her for some reason. Is she that obvious, or can he read minds or something?

[elizabeth--mateescu]

Elizabeth had not confessed such a secret to others, but grandmother is the only one who knew such a thing. "The modern world is more accepting of it being homosexual or bisexual but as you stated humans are selfish and there are those who would not accept the concept still." She recalls the times in her past where others had bullied her for being who she was. Since then, she has kept this feeling to herself. Elizabeth is surprised Alcina had not caught on. Despite her stubbornness and disputes with the woman, there were times she would take a glance and admire her beauty. "You are right about that."

"The duke has all sorts of modern things. I do not care for it too much, but to see how much the world has advanced through such things is great to see." He did not have much else to say to Ari either. Placing his hammer on the ground he wonders what other thoughts she had. "What are you thinking about? You may as well say it while I am here." It seems the man before Ari wanted to hear more of her thoughts. "You can say whatever you like."

[abbawife-moved]

"I never quite understood that. I know a lot of it is rooted deeply in religious beliefs," Alcina rolls her eyes at the mere mention of it. "But if it is not hurting the person in question, then why should it matter? In my younger years, people were beaten half to death for it. Of course, I never said anything about myself... even if I did, I doubt anyone would try to do anything to me outright. I was six feet in height even at that time. I was told that it intimidated people. But I didn't think it was a bad thing." Her painted lips curve into a small smile, though. "No one in this village questions me or who I may or may not be interested in. I will make sure that no one does the same for you. You are with me, after all. And anyone with me gets the same treatment."

Ari bites down on her bottom lip. He wants to hear her say something else? More than she has been? To be fair, in her time here, she hasn't said a lot out of fear of being killed. However... "When you eventually get tired of me, will you dispose of me?" She asks. This is one of her many fears. It happened a lot in her childhood; when people decided they had enough of her company, they stopped talking with her and threw her away as if she was trash. This continues to be a constant thought in her head, but the term 'dispose of' has a much bigger meaning at this point in time. "I'm used to this happening, but I need to know just so I can prepare."

[elizabeth--mateescu]

"That makes two of us, humans judge what they cannot understand. It seems science can not explain things such as homosexuality. Some people also think of it as a sin based on the Bible. Then again, there are other things mentioned in the Bible that modern humans do not follow. I for one do not care for religion." Her uncle had been extremely religious and he often made his outdated views known around his only niece. "I hid it for years...since I was 15." The blonde sighs as she thinks of her past. "I am relieved others will not bother me about it here." The villagers feared the countess, of course, they would not question her.

The question room him by surprise. It was not expected. His victims typically did not ask such things."Well, I have not decided on what I will do to you yet. Of it makes you feel better, I do not plan on killing you since you survived today's events." Karl did not focus too much on the future when it came to people who were given to him by Miranda. "I guess you'll just have to wait and see, but as long as you do not give me any reason to get rid of you, I won't.' With that being said, Heisenberg lifts his hammer and rests it on his shoulder. " Want something to eat? I'm starving."

[abbawife-moved]

"You are just born like that. There is nothing that you can do to change it, darling," Alcina says almost as though everyone should know this. "People like to pick and choose what others can and cannot do, but they seem to be just fine for doing whatever they, themselves, please. It's hypocritical." They arrive at her castle once more, and she hums in response. She hands the jockey some lei for the trip, something she doesn't have to do but does it anyway. "I cannot say that we, as a village, are as advanced as where you came from. But if anyone dares to give you grief about anything, they will have to go through me first. And no one here would like to do that."

Ari listens to his words carefully, the tears on her cheeks beginning to dry up and onto her skin. She supposes that she did show him that she was 'worthy' one way or another, since apparently no one else has survived his maze. She still has to be good and compliant under him, she never doubted that, but... her stomach growling rips her out of her thoughts. Redness comes to her cheeks at how horrible the timing was, but she nods at his question. "Yeah... all that running made me hungry," she admits. "I'm breathing better now, so I don't think I'll throw up... Will we see The Duke? You talk about him a lot... I don't have a face to put to the name."

[elizabeth--mateescu]

The blond gets out of the carriage as Alcina pays the jockey. Their conversation had been surprised interesting. "I am insecure about my sexuality...it is something I'd prefer to keep hidden away. By doing so I have missed experiencing a lot of things with others. That was a mistake I would not repeat." Elizabeth goes silent as she looks at the Dimitrescu castle, there were flying creatures in the air. We're they birds? Likely not. With each step towards the castle, she can't help but think of her home. "Why did you choose me?" Her head is tilted.

Karl continues resting his hammer on his shoulders. "I do not plan on visiting him today. I have other things to do, but we can go see the jovial man tomorrow. He is aware of your presence here as well as your friend." He says the friend part as if he did not care. "I would be surprised if the poor blonde is still alive. My sister has a fascination with women. All the servants are women. It's weird, to say the least." He paid attention to Alcina the day Ari and Liz were bought before them. "You should be grateful I chose you. Who knows what that bitch is doing to the blonde."

[abbawife-moved]

"What is there to be insecure about? It's not as if you can control who you do and do not love," Alcina asks, looking confused by this fact. She's never exactly been self-conscious of the fact that she loves women, but in her day, it was something she couldn't talk about too often. If modern society is as advanced as she thinks, then it should be normal to talk about such things, right? She supposes people can still be cruel either way. At her question, she blinks in slight surprise. Oh, she wants to know her motivations for choosing her? "You had more spunk than the girl with the freckles. It's not often I get to keep someone that doesn't worship the ground I walk on." There's a little cheeky smile on her face. "And I found you to be closer to my tastes."

"Have you ever considered that your sister might be a lesbian?" Ari asks, looking up with an incredulous look. It's obvious to her, at least - she saw how the woman looked at Elizabeth that day. "She has women surrounding her because men aren't her cup of tea. That's usually how it works, I've noticed. Just like how straight men prefer women around them." She looks ahead, scratching her cheek with her finger. He says that she is lucky, but she isn't quite thinking that... if anything, she and Elizabeth are both quite unlucky for even coming to this place. "I have a feeling things might be better than what you are imagining. Even if it's just a bit."

[elizabeth--mateescu]

The answer Alcina gave Elizabeth made the young woman tilt her head to the side. The blonde had not noticed the look Alcina gave her during the family meeting, she had been focused on Ari and making sure her new companion had not been wounded. "Y-your tastes? I thought someone like yourself would like someone more...like yourself you know of the upper class and whatnot." Her cheeks turned a light pink as she looks away.

Heisenberg makes a slight face at her suggestion of Alcina being gay. "No, not really. I don't think I care enough to want to know all this information. I thought she just eats the poor women or turns them into wine." He thinks for a moment before smirking. "Makes sense, that would explain why she has such a strong distaste for men. They do not appeal to her as a woman would."

[abbawife-moved]

Alcina chuckles at Elizabeth's confusion, finding it a bit cute. "Just because I am 'upper class,' as you put it, doesn't mean that I desire that in someone else. I find people who are more humble to be more tolerable. People living a lavish lifestyle like I do can tend to be pretentious, so it's best for me to stay away from that. I do have a bit of a temper." Her family often wanted to marry her off to some rich man, but they always pissed her off with their attitudes and demands. So ungentlemanly. Besides, she had bigger dreams to attend to. She was a successful jazz singer, after all!

"I don't think distaste is necessarily normal. It's okay to not be attracted to a gender, but to openly dislike them as you've said is kind of..." Uncool? She doesn't know which word would be appropriate for that, but if Alcina is the way that Heisenberg says, then it's kind of mean, isn't it? She rubs her hands together, wanting to bring some warmth to her person. Every time she breathes, there's fog coming from around her face. It gets damn cold in this place. "I figured that, because you're stuck with your "siblings," you sort of know these things."

He did not have much else to say to Ari either. Placing his hammer on the ground he wonders what other thoughts she had. "What are you thinking about? You may as well say it while I am here." It seems the man before Ari wanted to hear more of her thoughts. "You can say whatever you like."

[abbawife-moved]

"I never quite understood that. I know a lot of it is rooted deeply in religious beliefs," Alcina rolls her eyes at the mere mention of it. "But if it is not hurting the person in question, then why should it matter? In my younger years, people were beaten half to death for it. Of course, I never said anything about myself... even if I did, I doubt anyone would try to do anything to me outright. I was six feet in height even at that time. I was told that it intimidated people. But I didn't think it was a bad thing." Her painted lips curve into a small smile, though. "No one in this village questions me or who I may or may not be interested in. I will make sure that no one does the same for you. You are with me, after all. And anyone with me gets the same treatment."

Ari bites down on her bottom lip. He wants to hear her say something else? More than she has been? To be fair, in her time here, she hasn't said a lot out of fear of being killed. However... "When you eventually get tired of me, will you dispose of me?" She asks. This is one of her many fears. It happened a lot in her childhood; when people decided they had enough of her company, they stopped talking with her and threw her away as if she was trash. This continues to be a constant thought in her head, but the term 'dispose of' has a much bigger meaning at this point in time. "I'm used to this happening, but I need to know just so I can prepare."

Her face goes pale once again, the young woman could undress there is no need to have Alcina do it for her. "I can undress. I do not need any help from you." To think this woman would suggest such a thing. That is such a total violation of comfort. With a huff, she continues looking out the window. She hears the sound of the horses as they travel along the roads to the castle. The blonde's blue hues seem to focus on the road ahead. The village is almost dead and silent. This place sucks so far.

He remains silent as she tears up, Karl focused on other things he had to take care of in the factory. Including Ari now. "Your friends are lucky to not have been caught by Miranda. Now, that new friend of yours and your outside friends should be forgotten. Since, you both will not see each other for a while. I doubt my sister will bring the blond outside anytime soon." His gaze focuses on the road ahead. "Don't worry about these cuffs, I'll remove them once we at in my factory."

[elizabeth--mateescu]

The blonde goes quiet once again. Those zombies and Umbrella had taken her whole world away. Elizabeth wanted to see Umbrella fall. Rather it was by her hands or another, it did not matter. "Zombies are like lycans but it seems the lycans are faster and even more vicious. I would rather take my chances fighting a zombie than a lycan." She looks out the window once again. "Yes...ex-lover." Her history is complicated, to say the least.

"You hate me?" There is a pause as he repeats the phrase he just heard. As expected Karl laughs at her. "I don't fucking care if you hate me. I do not expect to be liked by you. You are my prisoner regardless of how you feel. You are stuck here with me now and there is nothing you can do to escape. The lycans would consume your flesh or Miranda would capture you and experiment on you as well. Turning you into some idiotic bloodthirsty, a monster like you have seen today." The older Lord begins to hum as they continue walking, a smile on his face.

[abbawife-moved]

Alcina listens to her carefully, humming when she realizes that Lycans are most likely just an upgraded versions of these 'zombie' things she's talking about. Mother Miranda lets them know nothing of the outside world, but The Duke is able to get some information about it from time to time. She's never asked to see these newspapers or information, however. She rarely sees the man herself, as her servants are the ones to do so. "I see," she says simply. "I suppose it would be a bit awkward to only have him, considering your history... However, I do understand your grief. I've seen many attacks in this village."

Ari doesn't say anything at this point. She furrows her brows, staring at the ground. Her eyes get teary once more, causing her to sniffle slightly. There isn't much sound coming from her, no whimpers or anything... but there's no doubt that she's crying. Her tears wetten the fabric of Heisenberg's jacket, even if it's just a little bit. Maybe if she just let herself get killed, this would have been better... she doesn't want her family to suffer, but without contact, they are suffering anyway... She just wants to go home. She wants to be held by someone who loves her, not by a man like this. Her feelings, her thoughts, her opinions-- they don't matter now. She's nothing but a prisoner.

[elizabeth--mateescu]

The blonde looks at her again before scoffing. "Our history is filled with bullshit. He only wanted to have his way with me. I refused of course...I thought he gave a shit, but he didn't..." Being with her ex had made Elizabeth distrust others. The young man only wanted to sleep with her and take her innocence so he could brag to his friends, those memories only pissed her off further. "I promised myself that my worth is more than to be someone's toy."

Ignoring her tears, Karl walks into the factory, taking her upstairs to her room before he sits her on the bed. "Well, you have proved yourself to me. What is one privilege you'll like to have? You name it and I'll grant it for you." He lowers his glasses as he looks at her. "I do keep my promises after all." Waiting on an answer, Karl removes his hat. "Maybe? More freedom to explore, more clothing?"

[abbawife-moved]

"Man-things can be so disgusting," Alcina scoffs at her story, shaking her head in disapproval. She grabs and lights a long cigarette, blowing out a bit of smoke from her lips. "It was the same thing for me when I was your age. It truly never changes. 'Oh, Alcina, let me take you on a date.' So I would go because my family wanted me to, then he would always expect something from me because of it." She crinkles her nose, her lips turning into that of a scowl. "We as women don't owe anyone anything just because they find us attractive. That's why I'm much more comfortable with people who are like you and I."

Ari is quiet for a few moments, wiping at her tears. Her face is red and she looks like she could pass out at any moment, but at least she isn't wheezing anymore. Her breathing has almost completely stabilized. She brings her knees close to her chest, almost as though she's trying to self-soothe from the hell she's just endured. "I-I want... I want to finish my masters..." She says tearfully. "If I don't finish it, I will feel like a failure... I can do it online, I don't care. I just want to feel as though I've accomplished something..." She's on year three of five of her university journey. It'd just be a waste to lose it, and she would feel so awful about herself.

[elizabeth--mateescu]

Remaining quiet Elizabeth listens to Alcina. The woman had said something that had surprised her. "People like you and I?" This statement only served to confuse her. "What do you mean by that?" She can smell the tobacco from the cigarette as her blue eyes look at Alcina. "Not all men are disgusting....at least I hope not." Being as young as she was Elizabeth still had a great deal to learn in life. Rather this is about the world or others she will meet. " I thought he loved me...but I was wrong."

Thinking for a moment, Karl nods. "Fine, it seems like a simple request. You may finish college by attending classes. Remember you must not try to get help from others if you do. I will take this privilege away from you and kill whoever tries to make their way inside my village. Do you understand?" Could Karl trust her with such a huge thing? Ari did nothing wrong. Not yet. "Do not make me regret my decision."

[abbawife-moved]

"Women," Alcina clarifies further. "When I was still human, this was something rather taboo to talk about. But Mother Miranda knows, and it doesn't seem to bother her. She knows everything there is to know about my siblings and I." She takes another long drag from her cigarette. "I don't have ill will towards all men. Heisenberg and I fight more often than not, but I wouldn't hurt a hair on his head. As for Moreau, he wants nothing but Mother Miranda's love, which he never receives. I feel pity for him more than anything." She looks at Elizabeth, a soft sigh leaving her lips. "People, not just men, like to pretend to get what they want. It's a tale as old as time. That is why being honest about your intentions is important... and so is knowing the signs."

Ari feels almost as though a weight has been lifted off of her shoulders. With a shaky sigh, she listens to his demands, nodding all the way. She's glad that he didn't pull yet another dick move and decide that no, he wouldn't grant her wish, but she still feels angry towards him. She could have really died in that damn maze, and he's acting as if it's nothing new! She's the only one to have survived, yet she's still being treated as if she's nothing! "I get it," she grumbles. "I won't tell anybody anything."

[elizabeth--mateescu]

"I am bisexual. My parents never knew and my uncle became suspicious of it." The blonde goes silent once more knowing Alcina's sexual preferences explain the woman looking at Liz the way she did or calling her such things as a sweetheart. "People can be selfish and it only leads to more hatred and confusion." Her hand rakes through the long blonde hair locks. "....' She wanted to ask more but waited to hear what else Alcina had to say.

The Lord merely nods. There is no need to thank him. So far, Arianna has not caused him any trouble. Why wouldn't he give her a few privileges here or there? Hammer in hand, Karl looks at her. "I will go to the duke tomorrow to see if he has any of these laptops for you to use during the day. " Unlike Ari, many villagers who were in his factory either disobeyed or tried to kill them. In retaliation, he would kill the villager or feed them to the lycans. Those people are no longer alive.

[abbawife-moved]

"Bisexual." She repeats. In her younger years, there wasn't a word to say that you were attracted to both sexes. It was something that you got berated and beaten for if people even had an inkling that you liked the same sex. "I must say, to say something so freely... modern society must have come a long way." She almost looks sad that it hadn't happened sooner. "Selfishness is a human trait, isn't it? It's natural to have selfish desires, but as a person, you must bypass these feelings if you don't want to be confronted about it and if you want to be seen as a good person."

"Yeah... Thanks," She sniffles, wiping her nose with the back of her hand. She doesn't know who this "Duke" fellow is, but it seems as though that Heisenberg relies on him a lot for his materials and shopping. Is he a villager, or perhaps he's some inhuman man just like the other lords? He's not a lord, she knows that - she would have seen him if that was the case, she thinks... Her eyes look crestfallen as she looks down at her own knees, looking as though she wants to say something else. She doesn't even know what to say to this man. She'll be alone in this place... with him. But at least she can get a laptop to entertain her.

[elizabeth--mateescu]

The blonde sits at the other end of the carriage, as she listens her hands smooth out the dress making sure it covers her body. This dress is better than the one before, but she still misses the clothing she came to the village in. The doll still creeps her the hell out even after they left the manor. The place did have a lovely waterfall though. "Why do you think she's dead? I hope that Ari survives him. That's if he's as cruel as you say he is." Elizabeth had the diary and regrets not learning Romanian, that diary had details on all the lords... "Fuck." She does not say this out loud

Heisenberg did not care for the girl's asthma, but he did have her inhaler."Interesting! You are one of the only few to have made it past Urias! Let's see how well you do in the next room! Shall we?" As Ari steps into a room, the ceiling begins slowly lowering itself. The ceiling is covered in spikes. "Move fast Ari! Wouldn't want you to get crushed to death!" He laughs once more. "Prove to me you are worth keeping alive!"

[abbawife-moved]

"Ari," Alcina says her name almost as though she's speaking of a passed relative. "Is in the hands of the man whose factory hasn't had a second inhabitant... ever. Every person he received from Mother Miranda, he puts them through his death maze, filled with Lycans and these contraptions that no normal human being is supposed to survive. No one has. Even if they have gotten past Urias, the biggest and the most powerful of them all, they have all been crushed to death by his ceiling of spikes." She purses her lips at the mere thought. "What a shame. She seemed like a polite girl, too. But I cannot be optimistic with her fate, since more than a hundred people have had their deaths prematurely in Heisenberg's hands."

Oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me! In a panic, she looks around, trying to figure out what the hell to do. Surely, this maze of his isn't even meant to have any survival rates! This is just a sick game to him, to see his victims flail and try their bests to survive when it isn't even possible, isn't it?! Then... she notices it. There is a small groove in the wall where the spikes won't hit... but it's across the room and the spikes on the ceiling are descending fast. Fuck it. Despite feeling like she's going to pass out at any moment, she speeds to the groove, stumbling as she does so. She dives for it, and the spikes fall... but she's safe. She breathes heavily, being in complete shock that she's not dead.

[elizabeth--mateescu]

The blonde frowns at Alcina. "She can and will survive those stupid traps of his!" She did not find this conversation fun at all. Looking away Elizabeth stares out the window. "You may not have faith in her, but I do." The young woman crosses her arms. Elizabeth had lost almost everyone in her life and that is why she holds onto everyone she meets, even if they are strangers...except the lords that is.

Karl is surprised she has survived this long. "Well, I have saved the best for last, get ready!" Within minutes there appears to be another spiked contraption. A roller covered in spikes moves towards Ari on the rocky ground, destroying everything in its path. "I'm in the mood for some ground beef how about you Ari?" His voice is loud.

[abbawife-moved]

"I hope for your sake that she survives. I think having a friend that is like you would do you well," Alcina comments. The ride is as smooth as usual, but she's quite happy that Elizabeth is actually speaking to her at this point. "It's hard to have faith when you see every victim he's received ripped to shreds, dragă. But perhaps she will surprise him and I in one way or another." She doesn't wish for the girl to die, she seemed to be a nice little thing, completely unlike her brother. Maybe she could teach him a thing or two.

"Oh, fuck you!" Ari can't help but shout, the fear leaving her body and replacing itself with anger. She's fucking pissed now. She came for a good time, wanting to chat with some locals and eat at some cute little restaurant, but no! She gets a whole machine coming towards her that is determined to turn her into ground meat! She backs up against the wall, clenching her jaw as she sidesteps into the tiny area that the spikes can't get to her. She screws her eyes shut, hearing and feeling the spikes whirring right in front of her face, scarily close to ripping her skin apart.

Elizabeth ignores the comments. Her mind wanders as to how they are going to get out of here, there are so many other things she'll rather do than be here. Throughout their trip back Elizabeth does not pay attention to Alcina. She listens to the animals of the forest as they travel the snowy roads. There had to be a way out of here. If her grandmother could escape then so can she. "Maybe you should focus on other things besides Ari."

Karl is silent as he continues listening for Ari, he is surprised she made it to the end of the maze. "Well, I guess you have beaten my little show! You are one brave and smart girl. Many villagers died during the second or third trap." He cuts the spiked device off, causing it to stop moving. "Go through those doors after you crawl under that thing. I will meet you outside." And with that, Karl walks off.

[abbawife-moved]

"Oh? I am quite curious to know what you mean. What is it that I should be focusing on?" Alcina raises an eyebrow. She thinks her focuses are perfect, from how she runs her castle to her wine business... but she is always up for suggestions if they come her way. Perhaps Elizabeth just doesn't want to speak about her friend that is most likely dead by now. Heisenberg is nothing if not brutal and downright cruel. She can be the same way, of course, but she's kinder to women than he could ever dream of being.

His compliments mean nothing to her. She's survived, but at what cost? She feels like she's going to drop dead from the lack of air she's receiving and from the shock. As she crawls under the maze, she begins to cough wildly. It seems as though her adrenaline has finally run out and she's suddenly remembering her frail physical state. She begins to retch from how much she's coughing, tears dripping from her eyes and onto the floor. She stays there for a moment, sobbing and hyperventilating at the same time. She's still having a panic attack when she finally gets outside, right where Heisenberg is.

[elizabeth--mateescu]

"I don't know, anything but her. I do not want to beat about how she may die. That is the last thing I want to happen. She is my only friend after all." Elizabeth looks at Alcina, there is a frown on the young woman's face. "I told you she'll survive and that's all there is to it. Humans are not as weak as you think we are." With that, Elizabeth turns away from Alcina as she looks out the window once more.

The Lord hands her the inhaler. Placing it in her mouth he manages to use it properly."Good job Ari, I guess you are more than just some silly city girl like that friend of yours." Chuckling, Karl picks her up and carries her back to the factory. "Just relax and I'll get you back to the factory soon."

[abbawife-moved]

Alcina hums, taking her words into consideration. Surely, modern people should have a decently sized friend group? "Is she your only friend? You had just met her today..." To be fair, it isn't like she has many friends, either. She was made to be worshipped, not to make friends. She is revered, lusted after by man-things that could ever even touch her, looked up to. The only friends she has would be her siblings, but that really just means Donna. She and Heisenberg fight too often and Moreau... well, she just pities him. He's so physically deformed that he's constantly in pain and he yearns for the motherly love that he will never get. "Surely you must have had friends in your old life?"

Ari clings to the air she received from the inhaler. She wants to flail away, to hit and kick Heisenberg as he picks her up like she's some sack of potatoes. She's so tired... she feels so sick... Her chin rests upon his shoulder; she may have used her inhaler, but it's still obvious that she's wheezing still. Her lungs really are horrible. I hate you, you son of a bitch! Her mind screams. I'll fucking kill you!

[elizabeth--mateescu]

That question makes Elizabeth shudder. "I have no one left besides my ex-boyfriend." There's a moment where she holds back her tears. "The rest were either eaten or turned into zombies. Of course, I had friends they are just not alive anymore." Her voice became soft as she speaks. This woman should not care rather or not the blond had friends. It is such a trivial detail to ask for. Almost everyone in her life was taken from her in a matter of moments, family as well. She did live with her uncle, but he was not the kindest, to say the least.

"You want to kill me? Right? That's what you are thinking of doing? You can try as much as you want to kill me, but I promise you. You will be punished severely. I have other ways to punish you, Ari does not forget that." With each step, they get closer to the factory. It had not been too far off. He is impressed Ari survived this maze of his. "As promised, once you recover you can tell me what you want as a reward. Remember you cannot go home so do not ask."

[abbawife-moved]

"An ex-lover?" Alcina hums curiously. She supposed she expected this. Modern people seem to enjoy the dating scene... the Village isn't that free. Arranged marriages are very commonplace here, so there is no need for that. She's never been married... nor have the other lords. Donna is too scared to speak to anyone, Moreau is too deformed to feel as though he can talk to people, she didn't find men attractive, and Heisenberg... well, she never knew why he didn't partake. He looks the most human and it's not as if he's an ugly man. Perhaps he was too busy. She looks to Elizabeth, her gaze almost... concerned? "'Zombies'... are those like Lycans?"

"I hate you..." She croaks. Her voice sounds incredibly scratchy. It's painful for the girl to even talk. "I felt empathetic for you because of the reason you were here..." She's weak. She can barely even talk because she feels so horrible. "But even though I'm in the same situation as you... I would never do the things that you do." She coughs. "You tried to hurt me even though I've done nothing to you... I've only tried to be kind to you..."

Her face goes pale once again, the young woman could undress there is no need to have Alcina do it for her. "I can undress. I do not need any help from you." To think this woman would suggest such a thing. That is such a total violation of comfort. With a huff, she continues looking out the window. She hears the sound of the horses as they travel along the roads to the castle. The blonde's blue hues seem to focus on the road ahead. The village is almost dead and silent. This place sucks so far.

He remains silent as she tears up, Karl focused on other things he had to take care of in the factory. Including Ari now. "Your friends are lucky to not have been caught by Miranda. Now, that new friend of yours and your outside friends should be forgotten. Since, you both will not see each other for a while. I doubt my sister will bring the blond outside anytime soon." His gaze focuses on the road ahead. "Don't worry about these cuffs, I'll remove them once we at in my factory."

[elizabeth--mateescu]

The blonde sits at the other end of the carriage, as she listens her hands smooth out the dress making sure it covers her body. This dress is better than the one before, but she still misses the clothing she came to the village in. The doll still creeps her the hell out even after they left the manor. The place did have a lovely waterfall though. "Why do you think she's dead? I hope that Ari survives him. That's if he's as cruel as you say he is." Elizabeth had the diary and regrets not learning Romanian, that diary had details on all the lords... "Fuck." She does not say this out loud

Heisenberg did not care for the girl's asthma, but he did have her inhaler."Interesting! You are one of the only few to have made it past Urias! Let's see how well you do in the next room! Shall we?" As Ari steps into a room, the ceiling begins slowly lowering itself. The ceiling is covered in spikes. "Move fast Ari! Wouldn't want you to get crushed to death!" He laughs once more. "Prove to me you are worth keeping alive!"

[abbawife-moved]

"Ari," Alcina says her name almost as though she's speaking of a passed relative. "Is in the hands of the man whose factory hasn't had a second inhabitant... ever. Every person he received from Mother Miranda, he puts them through his death maze, filled with Lycans and these contraptions that no normal human being is supposed to survive. No one has. Even if they have gotten past Urias, the biggest and the most powerful of them all, they have all been crushed to death by his ceiling of spikes." She purses her lips at the mere thought. "What a shame. She seemed like a polite girl, too. But I cannot be optimistic with her fate, since more than a hundred people have had their deaths prematurely in Heisenberg's hands."

Oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me! In a panic, she looks around, trying to figure out what the hell to do. Surely, this maze of his isn't even meant to have any survival rates! This is just a sick game to him, to see his victims flail and try their bests to survive when it isn't even possible, isn't it?! Then... she notices it. There is a small groove in the wall where the spikes won't hit... but it's across the room and the spikes on the ceiling are descending fast. Fuck it. Despite feeling like she's going to pass out at any moment, she speeds to the groove, stumbling as she does so. She dives for it, and the spikes fall... but she's safe. She breathes heavily, being in complete shock that she's not dead.
