Matthew Paxton - just call him Paxton ~ 35/37 ~ Spirit (Poltergeist) Unclaimed Slave

[paxtonxxxmatthew]

eteratekoha‌: 

Handing over a knife probably wasn’t recommended, but Etera wasn’t going to leave the slave unsupervised with it and he was more than confident that he could disarm one damn poltergeist with little issue. “Another stint in the cage? Anyone would think you like causing trouble.” Etera gave a small grin of amusement at the whole situation, “whatever did you do this time?” He asked, though something about his tone said that he cared more for his own entertainment value than he did for upholding the castles discipline.

Etera was somewhat surprised to hear Paxtons eager request, though stuck in a place like this Etera would likely be the same. “Alright. But stop twiddling that knife around, you’ll hurt those delicate looking hands of yours.” Etera responded and walked past the poltergeist, taking the knife back into his own grasp, “make yourself useful and hold one of these.” He said, handing Paxton one of the massive black birds by the legs before continuing past him. “Are you coming or not?”

The knife wasn’t particularly impressive but he liked that Etera let him have it anyway. He flipped it in his hand a couple times, playing absentmindedly with the tip as they spoke. Rolling his eyes at the masters amusement at his pain, Paxton took in a deep breath and playfully held the knife out as a warning to him “Same as last time.” he answered, though it was a bit less truthful, “Some twat, I need to get his name, pulled a power trip and tacked days on my sentence. Fuckin’ stupid.” he emphasized the word ‘stupid’ with  a flip of the knife which was the moment Etera decided to take it back. 

The bird was somehow both heavier and lighter than he expected but he realized that he just hadn’t known what to expect. His lip curled though, at the feel of the leg in his hand. It was objectively gross. “Yeah, yeah...” he muttered, jogging to catch up to the master as they headed in to the castle towards his suite, “Do you do this...” he held up the bird and gave it a little shake, “Often? Seems weird.” Paxton put much more weight into ‘weird’ than necessary and he had a mischievous glint in his eye as he said it. Etera hadn’t seemed like one who was very volatile but he wanted to see if he could get a rise out of him, even a playful one.

benjamin-redfield‌: 

Ben stopped in front of the cage, watching as the slave paced back and forth like a pissed off animal. The vampire could feel the anger radiating off of the poor thing, and if he had a stick he would have definitely poked him with it. He crossed his arms over his chest and smirked, his eyes following the other man’s every movements, “Careful, someone might hear you plotting someone’s demise, and that might get you in deeper shit than you already are in”.

More from the peanut gallery. Paxton eyed the man, glaring daggers at him even though he saw no collar. No collar meant someone with potential power and potential power mean potential for getting the fuck out of there. He smiled sarcastically barely able to contain the comment that would, in fact, get him in more trouble. “Thanks, tips.” he wasn’t quite able to keep the unimpressed tone from his voice, try as he had, “You enjoy fuckin’ with people, don’t ya, why not go find a little tart in the main room there. You’ll have a better time of it.”

reginald-krovs‌: 

Reginald wasn’t a fan of punishing slaves, he really wasn’t quite a fan of this whole slave model anymore, not like he used to be. The older he had gotten, and the more he reflected on it, the more he wanted to try and create a better union between the vampires and the other species. So walking through the Undercroft, he stopped when he saw a slave in a cage that was rather too small for the current being occupying it. Running his eyes over the other, “So what are you in there for? Anything good?” 

Running his hands through his hair, Paxton stopped pacing long enough to see that the man who’d stopped wasn’t wearing a collar. A master then, someone who could get him out. “No, nothing good. A stupid misunderstanding and some little twat’s power trip.” His eyes moved over the man as he licked his lips and stepped forward, “Get me out. I’ll make it worth your while.” It was a relatively flat statement, tinged with the anger that he still felt, and held no hint of what his plan was to make it worth it. He didn’t have one, not yet, but he was good at thinking on his feet and the confidence that he could do something that the other guy liked.

thecharleswilson‌:  

Despite how much of a shit he could be, Charlie had somehow managed to avoid getting stuck in one of the cages in the Undercroft when he’d been down there.  The dragon had always figured you had to do something pretty fucking stupid to be locked up in one of them, which was why he was surprised to find someone locked up and obviously very pissed off about it.  “What the hell did you do?”  He asked, working to keep any sign of amusement out of his voice.

If one more person asked him what he’d done to deserve cage time, Paxton was going to lose his shit. It was bad enough in the cage, let alone the inane questions that came from the idiots who passed by. “Fuck off.” he spat, barely looking at the man, just long enough to see he had a collar on as well. A slave couldn’t get him out of this so it wasn’t worth his time.

shorttxmpered‌: 

Brandon grinned as he looked at the other man. “Hey, I don’t know. I’m sure there’s someone in that world with that kink.” Brandon snorted with a roll of his eyes. “But if I was you? I’d check that attitude of yours real quick. Unless you just want to stay in this cage.”

“How ‘bout you an’ that smirk fuck right off?” Paxton countered as he stepped closer, not in the mood to take shit from another slave of all people, “Didn’t ask for your advice and don’t fuckin’ need it. Get it?” He was so over people telling him what he had to do. He didn’t care if it was good advice or not, that wasn’t the point at all. He wasn’t a god damn slave and that was fucking that.

[paxtonxxxmatthew]

casterwillxcaleb‌: 

“Oh them? I just made them think that your time was up. You had served whatever the punishment was. That way if they are asked, they will just say you were let out when your time was over.” he said with a little laugh shrugging. Most of the time the simplest thing was the most effective and useful. “Well I get chastised for it none the less. Though I’m glad you don’t think I am a twat.” he chuckled, an eyebrow raised when Paxton asked him if he wanted to join him. “Are you sure about that? Most slaves don’t want that, but I’d be happy to join you.” 

It really was smart, nothing crazy fancy, just super effective. Effective took precedence over style any day and Paxton smiled as he appreciated the simplicity of it all. “No, I don’t think you’re a twat. Not yet anyway..” he added cheekily with a little wink, wanting to tease Caleb, just a bit, “And yes, I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t mean it. Look at you, you’d have to be pretty fucking stupid to not want you in the shower.” He pulled his shirt off and tossed it to the ground, starting to walk backwards towards the bathroom. “C’mon, big guy...”

[paxtonxxxmatthew]

silver-humanxx‌: 

Hostile a bit still. He wondered if the other was like this outside of the castle. “Then you should learn. We could learn together maybe?” Figuring this man out might be hard. But Silver would at least try to break through. “No one does after awhile. Well….the first was an accident. My master went away for work and it took him longer than he expected ending in the claim being revoked. The second was a similar situation so again it left me unclaimed.” His cheeks turned pink at the question. “Well depends on what you call weird. But I’d say nothing out of the ordinary.” 

With a snort, Paxton shook his head, “No,” he wasn’t about to justify the no, the no was enough. He couldn’t fathom the idea of learning an instrument here, it was such a useless skill. How would the piano help him escape? It wouldn’t. Flat out, which made it useless. The reasons why the other had been unclaimed were as spectacularly boring as he had hoped they wouldn’t be but the pink cheeks caught his attention, that was something fun. Moving closer, he tilted his head, sly grin on his face, “Really? What exactly entails ‘nothing out of the ordinary’, then, hm? You got a name or am I making something up for you?”

captured-josh‌: 

Josh took a deep breath and nodded, “I believe you. You don’t seem the kind who hides r regrets when they do something. I have the feeling you would be bragging if you had done anything deserving of this punishment,” he mused. He nodded, “I think so, yes, but you need to follow my lead and behave,” he warned as he turned around to talk to the guard in charge. He mentioned his master’s name and ow he had requested for this specific slave and even if the guards hesitated, the wouldn’t challenge Josh’s master.

Josh moved aside to let them open the cage still wearing a composed expression even if deep down he was worried they might find out he was lying but for now it seemed it was working, “Come on, follow me this way,” he pretended to be uninterested on the other slave as he guided him to Remus’ suit.

At least the guy wasn’t a completely vapid moron. Very intuitive, actually, and Paxton smiled. He was always pleased when someone saw him for what he really was, intelligent, caused trouble when he wanted to, it was a nice change for the moment to be understood, if only partially. He gave a nod back, acknowledging that he would behave and he would, if only to get the hell out of the cage and out of the undercroft for a bit. Watching the other slave play the guards was amusing in and of itself but he was careful to school his smile, not giving the game away.

He didn’t need to be told twice to follow the other and he utterly ignored the guards, pretending that they didn’t even exist as he left. They arrived at a suite and, as the other slave was heading in, he finally spoke, “I owe you one.” it wasn’t something he said flippantly, in fact, it was something he rarely said at all. He disliked owing people but, in this case, the man had done him a solid and he felt the need to return the favour.

leonblagden‌: 

Leon’s lips slid into a small smirk, amused by the other’s response. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were almost eager,” he mused aloud, flashing his fangs as he spoke this time. One hand moved to Paxton’s hips, holding him steady as the other slid behind his head, pulling him close. Typically Leon first fed from another’s wrist, preferring to keep his distance and take his time with feeding. Knowing the other hadn’t been fed from before had him changing his habits however, instead pulling the slave into an almost taunting, dominating kiss.

Paxton was just able to get a ‘good thing you know better’ in before Leon was kissing him. It felt like the master was trying to take control - which made sense - and the hand behind his head kept him from pulling away. Instead, he leaned into it with a determined hum, matching Leon’s intensity as he braced his hands on the back of the couch making it just a tad harder for the master to move him about. He wasn’t a god damn rag doll and he was set out to prove that at the same time he struggled not to lose his focus to the pleasure. Not yet, at least. 

[paxtonxxxmatthew]

casterwillxcaleb‌:  

“Oh yeah. I can do all of that. Less control thoughts and more plant false ones you know? Like I can influence emotions but I can’t move you like a puppet. Like if I wanted you to eat an apple, I couldn’t make you, but I could plant the idea that you love apples.” The blond laughed and gave the hand he held a little squeeze. “You are sweet to say so Paxton. But I get criticized for being too soft, and kind to you lot. It’s just how it is. No need to kick anyone.” he said with a little laugh, when they got to the door of his suite, letting them into the suite. “Make yourself at home, handsome. I’ll get a shower running for you and you can order whatever you like up from the kitchens.” 

I think bad things all the time, is he could to judge me? Paxton thought to himself, just as a little experiment to see if Caleb had to be focusing on reading minds or if he just did it all the time. “False thoughts, that’s... ohhh, you must have had fun with that, you must still have fun with it, don’t you? So what did you do to the guards then? Made them forget about seeing us leave? I don’t think being soft is a bad thing, everyone else that I’ve met so far has been a complete twat but not you.” The suite was magnificent and Paxton immediately started looking around, picking things up and putting them back in nearly the same position. “You gonna join me?” he asked with a little smile.

[paxtonxxxmatthew]

leonblagden‌: 

Leon quirked an eyebrow, surprised to see the slave willingly strip. A part of him wanted to comment on how he hadn’t requested it yet, but let it be. He was, after all, enjoying the view. At least as much as one might when a waiter could be seen delivering a meal to one’s table. “That depends how you respond to being fed from,” he replied with ease, reaching out and grabbing the slave’s wrist when he was close enough. He tugged him forward in order to pull him into his lap, adding, “Some resist being fed upon the first time— which can make it painful and lead to a bit of a gash versus two simple puncture marks. Others however… speak positively of the experience. They enjoy it. I wonder which you will be.”

Paxton could feel his heart rate increase, much to his irritation, but he let himself be pulled into Leon’s lap, settling there heavily without an ounce of concern for his weight. He could see how that could happen, instead of puncture wounds, if someone were to jerk away, the fangs could easily tear the skin. It didn’t sound fun and though the anticipation was likely going to be worse than the actual bite itself, it was still a bitch to deal with. “Hmm... I wonder...” he tried to make his tone disinterested again but he failed so, instead, he reached up and trailed his fingertips along Leon’s jawline, “I wonder where you’ll bite first. I’m not interested in hurtin’ myself... maybe it will feel good. Less talk, more finding out.”

[paxtonxxxmatthew]

casterwillxcaleb‌: 

“Oooh that? Well you see. I am a Leane Sidhe. I’m a fae, and a vampire, both species have powerful mind powers, and so I can use a very powerful form of telepathy.” he said with a little smile giving the other a shrug. As a child he was always scolded for reading minds and messing with others. “My eyes change when I use it, it’s a showing my my true nature. Leane Sidhe seduce young men, usually artists and we drain their lives in exchange for inspiration.” Caleb led Paxton with him so they could go back somewhere more private and the slave could get food. “I’m not the best master, but I’m very good at magic and the powers I do have.” 

“Huh... that’s a pretty handy little trick to have up your sleeve...” Paxton grinned slightly, a definite glint of mischief-bordering-on-evil in his eye, “So, what, you can read minds? Control others thoughts? Can you erase memories?” If he could erase memories, maybe he could somehow convince Caleb to do a little number on the prat that had put him in the cage for longer anyway. Oh, what he wouldn’t give to be able to toy with him like Caleb could, “What do you mean you’re not the best master? You look like you can handle yourself just fine. Who’s ass do I need to kick for tellin’ you otherwise?” 

[paxtonxxxmatthew]

captured-josh·: 

Joshnodded, not even flinching by the harsh reply. He had dealt with worse so alittle bad attitude wasn’t that terrible to scare him or offend him. He merelymoved a little closer and put his hand behind his back. “I’m not going to argueon that. More than a joke it’s a nightmare, but I get what you mean.” He lookedover his shoulder to make sure that the guard wasn’t close enough, “I wasonly asking to make sure it wasn’t bad enough for them to disobey my Master’srequest,” he half smiled, “Do you want to get out of there for a little while?”he asked with a serious expression.

Paxton’s eyes narrowed when the man didn’t back down and only met him with more kindness and compassion. Another soft-hearted fool, it seemed. He had no idea if the guards would let him go or not. The prat staff member had told them to send any requests for him to him to vet, apparently, but maybe he could bypass that and teach the little twit a lesson himself. “It wasn’t bad. It wasn’t anything.” Paxton asserted, his voice lowering as he stepped closer, “I do want out of here, think you can do it?” 

[paxtonxxxmatthew]

mathias-attano·: 

“I worry a lot, it’s just who I am” Mathias shrugged. He had spent years worrying over everything, because it was what his survival depended on. “Alright then…” He smiled at Paxton and continued to walk. They got to his suite after a few minutes, and Mathias held the door open for Paxton, “Make yourself at home. I’ll start on dinner. Is there anything else you want with your steak?”

Paxton didn’t really care if it was just who Mathias was, it was irritating and unnecessary and he didn’t want to hear about it. He did want steak though, so he kept his mouth shut for the moment. It seemed like every suite in the castle was different, did they honestly customize each one for each master? That was... sort of brilliant if it was true. “Potato... some veg... whatever... where’s the bathroom? I’m gonna take a shower.”

[paxtonxxxmatthew]

silver-humanxx·: 

Right. Okay he didn’t seem too friendly, but Silver figured it was just due to not him. A lot of people had walls when meeting others so he didn’t let it bother him. “Do you at least enjoy the sound? Or do you prefer another instrument?” The human nodded slowly. “Yes, unclaimed twice. Been here for…man, three years? Maybe less or more? Yourself?”

Another annoyingly innocent reply, was this guy for real? “Piano’s just fine.” he watched him for a moment, considering the information he’d just been given. This scrawny little thing, pretty as he may be, had been here for three fuckin’ years? How was he not cynical and bitter about it? Maybe he was and was just good at hiding it, that was a distinct possibility. Paxton wouldn’t put it past anyone to lie through their teeth in the regular world and here? Here he expected worse. “Just arrived... maybe a week, dunno. Not really keeping track. Why’d you get unclaimed? You secretly into some weird, kinky shite that disgusted the masters?” 

[paxtonxxxmatthew]

casterwillxcaleb‌:  

Caleb smiled at the guards and he waved at them. His eyes flashing the ominous shiny black as he wiped their minds of the event using his powerful telepathy. “I’m Caleb by the way. It’s nice to meet you.” he held his hand out to the slave, offering him a warm smile. “Let’s get you something to eat, and maybe a shower. Some clean clothes. That should make you feel better. We’ll just say you are rented for the night huh? That way nobody can say anything about me letting you out.” 

Paxton had turned back to the blond and just caught the flash of black in his eyes. He looked quickly from the master to the guards and back again before taking his offered hand and giving it a firm shake, “Paxton,” he returned with a furrowed brow, “What did you just do? That thing... with your eyes.” He wasn’t concerned with what they were going to get up to that evening, not really, he was far more interested in what sort of magic Caleb had at hand. Was it something that would be used against him or could it be used for him. Time would tell.

[paxtonxxxmatthew]

leonblagden‌: 

Leon’s grip loosened as they approached his suite, unlocking it and leading Paxton inside. He let go of the other once the door was closed, gaze roaming over the slave’s form for a brief moment. “You’re to address me as Sir or Master while with me— behave, and I’ll make sure any wounds are seem to before your return to the Undercroft, as well as that you’re fed,” he explained, casually stripping off his own shirt and draping it over a chair in the kitchen before advancing towards the living room at the far side of the space. “Misbehave… and you’ll just have to see,” he added, tone light despite the vague threat. He declined gracefully against the couch, motioning for the other to join him from where he sat.

Sir or master, because of course the prat would demand that. Paxton decided on a whim to see how long he could get away with just not addressing the vampire at all thereby foregoing the need for denigrating ‘sir-ing’ or ‘master-ing’. He watched Leon strip his shirt and licked his lips slowly before sighing. He definitely saw the gesture for him to come forward but he ignored it, instead the poltergeist pulled his own shirt off, eyes moving around the room, waiting just long enough so that when he did finally move forward, it was on his own accord and not because of being beckoned. Paxton was doing a very good job at being petty. “Are you expecting the ‘wounds’ to be so terrible they need to be seen to?” his tone was disinterested, he didn’t mind a bit of pain as long as it wasn’t excessive and he was hoping that this would be one of those cases.
