The Dungeon
Neko sat in a cell, alone. It was dark and damp and cold. There was nothing in the cell with her, no pallet or bathroom or a blanket. Not even straw. She shivered in the cold as the insane cries of the other prisoners sounded the halls. Trapped for centuries down here, the guards, the only source of normalcy on the other side of the large metal doors. She sighed as her head hurt. She sat in a dark and cold corner, alone and with nothing. Well, unless the green moss and lichen counted. Her head was hung, blood matting her hair. She looked...... Broken. And she was. As punishment for her absconding from her duties the King had decided that she would spend the time she was away in the prison, which was a few centuries. Around her neck was also a black collar, a bell around her tail and her ears...... They had cut her ears off......

In the end...Yoshirou decided to look for the stupid reaper. Because he had nothing better to do and he didn't want to hold on to her flaming credit card any longer than he had to. It wasn't that he wandered around aimlessly, but rather, he figured out where she could possibly be based on the Kings current moods. Which were, like always arrogant - in terms of Ciel - and indifferent - in terms of Sebatian - and depending on the severity of Neko's sin, would depend on the severity of the punishment. He figured. It must be the dungeon...probably. Strolling in, he called out, "oi, stupid reaper, you here somewhere?"
Neko moved for the first time in a long while. Hearing a familiar and arrogant voice she cringed as she backed into her corner more, her whole body and face obscured by the darkness, her head hurting as she moved. She said nothing though, remaining silent and lost and broken. Small. She turned her head away from the doors of her cell and wrapped her arms around herself more tightly. She didn't want to be reminded of what an idiot she was or anything of the sort. Within moments she was lost within herself again and got a far away look in her now dull and faded golden eyes.
The guard laughed. "You mean the cat who got her ears cut off? Other there." He said jollily and jerked his head in the direction of a corridor. Neko sat in the last cell. It was the wettest and coldest. Another form of punishment. And of course everyone laughed and joked about her poor ears. The prisoners crying eerily. A Cat Reaper's ears were their pride and joy, some died from just living without them, like Neko seemingly was. It was also the cruellest form of torture to a cat reaper.

The guard smiled coldly. "Yes it's funny. She's a cat with no ears. And she deserves worse for abandoning her duties. In fact me and the other's are going to petition that she be handed over to a whore house. Where she can be of some better use." And at that the guard and his colleagues laughed hysterically.
Another guard murmured, "Yeah that one guy likes kitties, also likes bruising em up and ruining em." Before laughing as well.

The guards were all stunned into stillness. The other prisoners started running out of their cells, laughing insanely and starting to attack the guards. So they were attacked into moving. The guard talking with Yoshirou before running to help his fellows pointed down a hall. "The last cell!" He shouted. He would get the demon for this.
Neko was afraid, her cell bars breaking away didn't incite freedom but fear. She curled her arms above her head, wincing as her former ears hurt, the red in her hair matted and bright from where she had bled.

At that a small whimper escaped Neko's small but full lips. She didn't need to be reminded of what a fool she had been. She flinched away, only her shoulder visible. The bell on her tail twinkled and the black spiked collar on her neck shone though the spikes were inwards, sticking into her soft flesh. They had made a pet out of her. She hid her arms over her head, not wanting him to see her now ugly face. Since that is what she thought, what all Cat Reapers thought if they had no ears.
Mod
Neko again flinched away from him. Hiding and whimpering. She was needless to say really traumatized by everything. She gasped as Yoshirou removed the collar, a arm and hand coming from her head to her throat, touching and holding it gently as some of the spikes had pierced her skin already. Looking at him askew and in a glancing fashion her eyes seemed to be a dull ochre instead of a lustrous gold. She looked at his hand with suspicion and wariness. However after a moment she tentatively and hesitantly reached out her own dry bloodied hand and curled it about his, revealing she had small, soft and dainty hands compared to Yoshirou. "I don't think I can walk..." She whispered softly since she had been huddled up for more then twenty four hours like that in the corner.
Mod
He helped her up, and then making sure she was okay, led them slowly out the cell.
Neko watched Yoshirou with eyes brimming with tears. He was being so nice to her. Heck if she had known this she would have gotten hurt sooner. No. Bad joke she thought. Standing she winched and groaned, closing her eyes as her body uncurled. Her hands tightening around Yoshirou's. She sighed as she opened her eyes again. She leaned against him heavily, her body stiff and cold from sitting in a small ball in a cold and damp cell. She was also tired and hungry. The insane cries keeping her awake and with only a stale meal a day it was no wonder. She closed her eyes, not wanting to see the guards getting butchered by the insane prisoners.
Mod
Neko didn't look at the bloodshed going on around her. With her cat ears gone she also didn't hear very well any more so everything was more or less muffled. She barely heard Yoshirou asking her something. Whatever it was she just shook her head in a no. Not that it mattered much seeing as a moment later her body sagged as she passed out.
Mod
Neko's easily lay in Yoshirou's arms. She was small and dainty. She seemingly instantly curled into his body. It also revealed something disturbing, her breathing was slightly fast and shallow, her heart a little bit too fast as her skin was feverish. The wounds from her ears being cut off was infected. She was pale and small looking.

((You have the honour of posting in the Infirmary next ^.^))
Starlight had heard of some Dungeons below the school and had decided to investigate, she hoped that there were traps or puzzles scattered through out them so that she could solve them. she always loved puzzles and gizmo's, solving mystery's was kinda her thing.
drip, drip. there was something in this maze of stone and moss that was dripping and Starlight wanted to find it. she stood still as she listened to it's echo and then headed off in the direction she believed it originated.
Starlight walked through the maze, drip, drip, the sound still went, she was determined to not stop in her search for it. she walked around looking for it with no interruptions. at least not until she rounded a corner and ran into someone, knocking both of them into the ground.
Starlight ignored the hand as she stood up, her short hair and flat chest along with her clothing style gave the strong impression of her being a guy. "i'm pretty sure i'm older than you." Starlight replied as she searched her clothes for tears since they fell on the rough stone floor there was bound to be a cut somewhere.
"even though your the younger one here, Demon?" Starlight asked as she decided that there were no scratches on her clothes, "so what are you doing here anyway?" she asked as she ran a hand through her short white hair.
"there are better places to do that." Starlight said as she turned to try and hear where the drip was coming from again. did it move? she thought to herself, "and if you were serious about that, I don't think you would have made a good ruler."
"keep calling me that and you could regret it, you are more of a rook than a king." Starlight said as she headed off to where the dripping noise was now coming from, "if you want to prove something to me you should follow."
"the piece on a chest board that moves in only straight lines, from cause to effect." Starlight informed him, the sound is definitely moving. she thought as she turned to the left and headed down a different path.
"if I get hurt, you'll probably be dead so don't worry." Starlight assured the guy, "and to get you to stop calling me child i'm Starlight, you are...?" Starlight asked as she walked down the pathway towards the dripping sound.
"yes Thorgrim, why is everyone surprised by that?" Starlight asked him as she turned to the right, every time it was confirmed that she was a woman there was always a stunned reaction or comment of disbelief.
"don't worry, I know I look like a guy but I don't understand why it's surprising when they find out i'm a girl." Starlight commented as she stopped to listen again before turning to the right.
"you're wrong." Starlight said as she turned left. "the path we have taken so far is: 1X straight, 1X left, 2X straight, 2X right, 5Xstraight, 1X left." Starlight told Thorgrim as they walked.
"maybe because the drip is moving." Starlight said as she took a left.
"so what's with the Mohawk look?" Starlight asked, commenting on Thorgrim's hair.
"and that is why you would fail as a ruler, rook." Starlight said as she stopped to turn and look at him.
"if you want to judge a man, ruler or otherwise, you judge him on how he treats his inferior and not his equals. the fact you do not wish to answer trivial questions is showing that you don't care about if the person who asked was actually curious. you didn't ask them why they wanted to know, you just rudely put them down. do you think a city would follow such a man as one who doesn't care about his citizens?" Starlight explained as she stood with her right hand on her hip in that defiant manner with a face that showed little change in attitude other than showing she seemed bored.
"but he should explain the reason before stopping them so rudely. picture if you asked someone if they liked someone would you prefer them to tell you to shut up or for them to say they don't want to say n a more respectful manner?" Starlight asked, people said she had a different view of things from other people.
"it would have been better if you said that first." Starlight said as she walked forward and past him, "the drip moved again."
(ttys)"not all girls are talkative and what if this is like in those horror films where the dripping is the saliva from a large beasts tooth?" Starlight asked.
"if he eats me, you'll be screwed." Starlight said as she turned to look at Thorgrim while she still kept walking.
"no, i'm just a reaper." Starlight told him, "reapers are breed to be better than angels and demons."
"want to put that to the test?" Starlight asked as she turned around, "or are you going to say something like 'I'm a lover, not a fighter?"
"then don't get any on it." Starlight said as she turned her entire body to face him, head on. "if you are better than me it shouldn't be a problem."
"do you want me to go first then?" Starlight asked.
Starlight bowed back. "ready?" she asked.
"then strike before I do." Starlight said as she stood back up and rose her hands infront of her with her hands open.
"shouldn't have said that." Starlight said as a pure black disk appeared in her hand, "you sure you don't want to go first?"
"fine by me." Starlight said as she appeared behind Him and made several cuts against his back before reappearing at her original position.
She appeared behind him, "to slow." She said as she kicked him squarely in the back. "reapers can shift and manipulate time, I see your attacks start several frames before reaching me."
Starlight side stepped all the bolts of lightning as if she knew where they were heading and placed her hand on his shoulder, "i suggest you give up."
Starlight danced around all the lightning, "do you still admit you aren't top-gun?" she asked as she extended her hand down to help him up.
Just wish you never got stuck in...
In a maze of brick and mortar...
Because who knows...what happens down in the dungeons!
