morning 03

[velluminous]

[ so the vibes this morning are "someone's ringing that For All Emergencies and Injuries line, but they're also sequestered in the most remote accessible room in the entire hotel, so that's inconvenient" ]

Re: morning 03

[wetmop]

[ here I am, with a mop! don't ask how I found you so fast.

what does the crime scene look like. ]

[velluminous]

[ i'm more concerned about the mop to be honest. i guess it's good to be prepared...?

the crime scene looks like: throat laceration. Sprezzatura is clutching a once-perfectly white spa towel to her neck. sorry. :( ]

[wetmop]

Oh, dear. I have to give you a price to pay, but you might not even be able to say yes or no to it, can you? You'll have to find some way to shake or nod your head. Now, what was it...

[ he's

making a show of hmmmming. thinking about this "price". ]

[velluminous]

[ snaps her eyes at him

in a rasp, ] Try to play coy with me and I burn your hotel down.

1/2

[wetmop]

I would just fix it again.

[wetmop]

Oh, I've got it.

[ reaching into the mop like it's a fucking bag ? ]

[velluminous]

[ then she'll burn it down again!! (doesn't have literally any fire magic)

she's looking at him like she's considering the merits of throwing the bloody towel at him ]

[wetmop]

[ pulls out this. ]

This will heal your wound over the next day or so. You won't even be left with a scar, unless you try to pry it off early. You will find, however, that you may struggle to be where you need to be if you are not... given assistance.

[ lead around, like a pet. that's what he means. ]

And when it is time to remove it, it can be done through song. Any song of your choosing, or another's. Or, I believe, that is how the lore of this item may go... it will be a different one next time.

[velluminous]

[velluminous]

[ with infinite coldness, ] "Try" to pry off?

[wetmop]

You'll fail. It will only come off when the price is paid and the wound is healed.

[velluminous]

I will not be treated as though I am some circus pet!

[wetmop]

Of course not. You are an esteemed guest.

[velluminous]

Then treat me like one!

[ is it stupid to start screaming at the person you called for help, while you're slowly bleeding out from self-inflicted wounds? i mean, do you really expect anything better from her, katy? at this point? also: it really hurts ]

I am expecting bandages, or spark of magic! Not this!

[wetmop]

[ shakes the mop. nothing comes out. ]

I will make certain to pass your complaint on to my higher-ups.

[velluminous]

[ she's going to have to wear a collar? be led around like she's everyone's pet, in front of everyone else?

is she just the biggest moron in the place? ]

No! Give me something else! You are bringing dangerous people here--you do not get to humiliate me on top of that.

[wetmop]

You could simply not be humiliated by this.

[ makes a show of digging into his mop again and pulling out nothing. ]

[velluminous]

[ don't you sass me weatherboy ]

There are no other options?!

[wetmop]

Hmmmm...




You could get badly hurt again another day and call me again, and simply hope that whatever I have on hand will also heal both wounds.

[velluminous]

Mammon! Fine! Get it over with.

[wetmop]

[ the application of the collar is not at all sexy. """"maintenance man"""" is not a tumblr sexymans. in fact... the collaring moment, which includes a no nonsense man and a mop, may truly be the most embarrassing thing of all... if she is traumatized by the experience, none should blame her...

but after a moment, he has gifted her a new curse (that heals!) and she can find that the bleeding is stopping, and the pain is reducing over time. it's working! as he said! ]

[velluminous]

[ this is, in fact, an exceptionally humiliating experience. thanks!

the instant it's on, naturally, she tests its give. ]

[wetmop]

[ someone could get their finger in it barely because that's sexy but that's all. good luck girlie. ]

My job here is done.

[velluminous]

[ screams internally. screams eternally. ]

Then leave.
