While everyone's favourite soul eating monster was visiting the adventurers guild - in order to get official documentation for her army of bots - the guards were hard at work.
The player who thought it was a good idea to take his sword out & wave it around in the middle of a heavily populated centre was being dragged away. His hands bound in metal shackles as he practically barked at those dragging him. Unwilling to get in trouble moments after logging into the game.
"You can't do this to me; I'll get the shitty company responsible for this game taken to court for kidnapping me inside the game!" He screamed, joined by him forcibly thrashing his head around in a pitiful attempt to break away from the guards who were dragging him by his upper arms. One wrapping around each arm.
Although there was nothing a fresh player could do against the guards - he was no eldritch abomination born to hunt down sinners after all. His face was already messed up with signs of his pathetic struggle against the guards who were done with his shit. "Stay still and silent or you'll just get a harsher sentence!"
Unfortunately he had reduced his pain as much as possible so he felt braver than he should; growling audibly at the pair who were stuck with him.
"Oh I'm going to enjoy watching your AI ass cry as your family is deleted hahaha!" Turning his head to spit on the face of the guard who had just told him off. Obviously the guard was pissed off however he took his job seriously enough to not resort to beating an already detained criminal.
His companion wasn't as nice.
Just when he opened his mouth to no doubt hurl some more horrid lines, he found himself unable to do so, a piece of cloth was forcibly pushed into his mouth. Shoved so deep that he actually gagged as blood seeped out due to the guard essentially punching him right in the mouth. "Finally some silence."
When his fellow guard looked at him he just lifted his shoulders in a shrug; uncaring if he approved of his actions or not. "I signed up for the money and to keep the streets clean - not listen to a delusional player."
There wasn't exactly much the other guard could do so he just sighed while hoping nothing else would happen on their way to the jail. The player in question, however, obviously heard all that. His struggles became more pronounced as he dragged his feet… Only to be lifted off the ground by the pair.
Soon enough he found himself being brought under the guard barracks where there was nothing of interest down below. Just standard cement walls creating a long corridor with heavy metal doors on either side of them. In front of them was another guard who was pilfering through a keyring.
"We'll slam him into this one so take the chains off." Saying that as he finally found the key he was looking for to unlock one of the many doors.
His coworkers did as instructed without complaint, they were used to it by now, they were all busy people so could respect the curtness. They also weren't gentle about his treatment as one guard moved to hold both of his biceps while the other removed the cuffs. Throwing him into the cell without care.
Falling to the floor and turning around just in time to see the door slam shut behind him - scurrying up to crash his hands against the heft metal to little success.
He tried to scream at them only to realise he still had his mouth gagged. Promptly reaching into his mouth to wretch the cloth out (tossing it to the side) as he began to scream things of a similar nature as he did before he was initially muted. At least he did until he heard a strange laugh from behind.
"Jehehe~♪"
Suddenly a cold sweat formed down his back as, for the first time since he was born, he began to fear for his life despite not knowing why.
Like a newborn fowl in front of a wolf.
Those same nerves only grew tenser as another chuckle came out; albeit he was already prepared to hear it now.
The voice was not only melodic but also very beautiful in a androgynous fashion - making it impossible to guess the owner's gender from the voice alone. Turning around even revealed that their presence was equally confusing on the gender front. Though no one could deny their inherent good looks.
Yet they were strange.
Or rather… Bi-coloured.
They sat atop the bed on the other side of the decently small room, with one leg resting over the other, with their elbows resting on the horizontal leg. Dressed in an obviously finely tailored suit with a grey dress shirt under fully visible due to their jacket being open. That suit & pants split evenly down the middle.
Being two different bluish purple; navy & indigo.
A loose bi-coloured tie even rested down from the unpopped collar while his shirt showed off some of their muscular build.
Upon their face was not just a smug smirk but also face paint; one side was a black curled down at the mouth with a tear mark while the other was white & curled up. Splitting that smug expression into both a spectacular grin and a sad cry. Like the most handsome clown in the world.
Doing nothing to take away from their sharp features.
Hair was also mostly split into two - having been grown so long that it fell past the shoulders - the indigo side left to simply fall down freely while the left was pulled back by a hair ornament. Drawing the long hair to fall back over his shoulder. Perfectly asymmetrical… If not for the tinge of white.
A single puff of unruly white hair, slightly off to one side that fell down his face to ruin the perfectly manufactured appearance he had. Still it did nothing to take away from his appeal. If anything it helped add to just how unbelievably sexy he somehow was.
It even took the player a few seconds to break out of his stupor. Shaking the rogue thoughts away from his mind as he appeared to have forgotten all about the fear that was ingrained inside of him. "... So are you my cell mate or something?"
"Ah~ the innocence of youth." Resting his cheeks on his arms as he narrowed his eyes; studying the person who seemed to have disregarded their previous anger. "I'm afraid I'm the one who dolls out the punishments rather than get jailed… Though there was a scaless lizard who tried jehehe~♪"
Suddenly that fear came back as the player tried to back away only to stop when that strange person raised their hand to wiggle their finger.
"I had to meet you here in order to get under the radar of a certain pair of obnoxiously overpowered women but now that I'm here… Let's take our time to get to know one another real intimately~♪" A sultry exclamation that got the boy to unconsciously gulp; especially when that figure winked towards him.
Not even realising how much he was dancing in the palm of the bastard in front of him - a fact that made those blue-purple eyes glow with a flicker of fire. "How about we begin with discussing how you ended up in this quaint little hostel. Know who it was?"
Tilting their head which resulted in their free flowing side of hair to fall aside in a strangely alluring manner that most certainly caused the boy's fingers to tremble.
"Who was what…?" His mouth was dry as he didn't know whether the other was a man or woman.
Either way… It was hard to care.
"Jehehe~ I'm talking about the lady knight, the elk in cosplay, who you were trying to pick a fight with after being a perv towards her~♪" Moving their free hand through their hair to pull some of their free flowing hair back away from their face. Revealing that the nails on their hands were actually a metallic black.
They also had a bone-like tattoo on the back of their hand.
He didn't think much unusual about it as he nervously explained. "I-I'll tell you everything you need to know yet there isn't much to say a-"
"You are as dumb as you look~!" Bringing their hand to rest over one half of their face which revealed just what the tattoo on the back of their hand was; a skull that perfectly lined up with the eye socket centred around that invader's glowing pupil. "It was rhetorical like it was to all the ones before you."
"What do y-" Not even able to finish their own question as that person suddenly vanished while the player had the straddling realisation that the person they were talking to actually outclassed their height. The reason for only finding that out now?
Because their shadow was currently being cast on him from behind.
That monster reached down to hold the very tip of his finger and with a little twist a crack echoed throughout the cell. Being followed by the screams he let out as he cradled his pinkie.
He quickly stumbled forward in an attempt to escape from the bastard yet found that they were actually sitting on the bed as if they had never moved.
"You see a lot of people on my team have been saying that I'm way too harsh when it comes to my punishments when it comes to tracking people down. Something about shit talking on the internet not being a bad enough sin to deserve punishment." Letting out an exaggerated sigh.
Although they couldn't hide the sadistic gleam when they glanced towards the tip of his pinkie that now faced in the completely wrong direction.
With a smug (very punchable) smirk he asked a simple question. "Do you think it was too harsh to brutally torture all those people who saw it fit to bully my cute little girl~?"
