#interaction: penelope

[shewhooncegripped]

(A knock can be heard from outside of Kromer's room)

Lady Kromer? I would like to talk if you do not mind.

[There is silence before the door opens just a crack. Kromer is peeking through, an eye trained on Penelope.]

...

What do you need?

[Kromer seems to be hiding from Penelope, using the door as a barrier. It seems she's... Wary... Of interaction currently.]

on tiptoes, the blonde sneaks into the house, careful not to make any noise so that she won't wake anyone, carrying her pair of high heels on the index and middle finger of her right. the original plan was to head upstairs to her bedroom right away, but when she notices the lights are still on in the living room, she heads there instead. the sight of her step-father causes pink-colored lips to curl into a warm smile as she steps closer towards him, tugging a golden curl behind her right ear. "how does is it come that you're still awake, daddy?", she asks softly, keeping her voice down on purpose so that they won't risk waking the rest of the family, "i didn't expect anyone to still be up considering how late it already is."

A Tisket a Tasket || Rosie & Penelope

At the end of every day, Rosie had a deal with the baker, that whatever was left to spare was hers to do with what she liked. And so, with a basket in hand, she headed for the orphanage, a skip in her step as she pictured the look on the faces of the children when they saw how many pastries she’d managed to snag. They’d be delighted she was sure.

In any case, it was nice to get away from her duties, to simply do something for her own pleasure.

Entering through the front door, she called out, hoping wherever Penelope was, she’d hear her. “Penny! Penny are you here?” She said, closing the door behind her and moving through the building popping her head into the rooms periodically with a testing ‘Penny?’

panic rises in her bones as the chanting in latin begins and she desperately tries to pull and tear on the iron shackles, pressing so coldly against her chin, but without avail. she’s utterly and completely at their mercy and they all so clearly possess none or otherwise, they wouldn’t have kidnapped her and dragged her here in their cathedral of sin. “you can’t do this to me”, she pleads once more, blue hues, turned glassy from rising tears, looking back and forth the group with devastating desperation, “please don’t do this to me. i’ve been a good, devout girl all my life, have tried to live according to god’s laws, please don’t drag me to hell with you.” but they’re all completely unimpressed by her sobbing pleas, maybe they’re too entranced in their dark ritual to even hear her, but the summoning simply continues it’s unnatural dark path.

until dark smoke begins to cloud the stone altar she’s been chained to, pulling her into its ominous embrace and when it clears out, there’s a dark-haired, tall figure standing in front of her. instinctively, she tries to move away from this prince of hell, oozing devilish charm from the very first second on, but it’s not like she can actually go anywhere. “please don’t touch me”, she begins to plead once more, “i’m begging you.” not that she really expects a demon to listen.

heart beating fast in her chest, penelope looked up from the hands that were folded in her lap at him, allowing her gaze to take him in, try to assess the man, her fate was no so inevitably tied to. it was almost impossible to look at him without getting even more nervous than she already was for she didn’t have the slightest clue what the immediate future would hold for her. with him. 

“what do you plan to do with me?”, the blonde asked quietly, voice shaking slightly, “i mean, i’m...” she paused desperately trying to find a diplomatic way to describe her current situation without risking offending him. which, judging from how nervous and jumpy her father had been around him, how quick he’d been to offer her up just for the sake of appeasing him and fixing his relationship with the infamous luthor wright (not that she’d ever heard about him before today), might be a bad idea. and she could easily understand why after having spent just a few moments in the same room with him alone. he exuded power and intensity in a way that was bound to get under your skin, to intimidate you simply by existing. 

and it was clearly working on her. penny had always been content playing on the sidelines, always careful not to step on anybody’s toes. the perfect, pristine daughter who’d always followed every single rule. and so, of course, she’d agreed to be brought into the devil’s lair if it helped her family. but that certainly didn’t mean she wasn’t intimidated by the situation, by him.

“i mean, i am to stay with you, right?”

[pm] There is time to get you somewhere safe. Or safe enough to work without being someone’s soldier.

[pm] Where do you have in mind?

fairfaxforthegreatergood replied to your post:[pm] Renee, where are you? Have you seen the news recently?

[pm] James will handle it. Better you get inside and stay safe. She’d never forgive herself if something terrible happened to you on her account.

[pm] Fine, I just... I can't get a hold of her. Is she alright? Do you know? I told her I'd go with her. Just in case. I can't believe she'd do something like this - I mean, I can but I was really, really hoping she wouldn't. She's the most infuriatingly stubborn woman I know.

[pm] Renee, where are you? Have you seen the news recently?

[pm] I did. I just saw. I'm out looking for her so I can strangle her.
