Yea, no problem dude was fun at least. I guess the outcry of support for me, and being super heavily recruited made me feel a little better. Sucks I got kicked from my city though. @Deladan
oh goddamnit. I just realized I can't say I don't rp now. People have proof I do. fugg....
Wait, idling at Gatehouse isn't RPing the silent protector and guardian of the village from Targossan tea invasions?
- (Eleusis): Ellodin says, "The Fissure of Echoes is Sarathai's happy place." - With sharp, crackling tones, Kyrra tells you, "The ladies must love you immensely." - (Eleusian Ranger Techs): Savira says, "Most of the hard stuff seem to have this built in code like: If adventurer_hitting_me = "Sarathai" then send("terminate and selfdestruct")." - Makarios says, "Serve well and perish." - Xaden says, "Xaden confirmed scrub 2017."
You growl menacingly at Bundy, Master of the Carnival. - Direxi pets you very nicely. - You say to Bundy, Master of the Carnival with a lilting Delosian accent, "I think you're an imposter. Only one can command the carnival." - You scream with a lilting Delosian accent, "THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!" - Deepest Stygian night steals over the land as the symbolic hourglass empties and turns, ready to begin a new day. It is now the 10th of Aeguary, 697 years after the fall of the Seleucarian Empire. - Keneanung's eyes sparkle with amusement. - Ginovianna attempts to stifle her amusement but cannot help laughing aloud. - Ginovianna takes a drink from a glass skull vial. Pulling open a glass skull vial's jaw, Ginovianna tilts the cranium and samples the liquid within. - You shake your fist in Bundy, Master of the Carnival's direction defiantly.
After a lot of thought and teamwork, we were finally able to host a ritual in the Insidium that hopefully will sprout forth a series of roleplay avenues to revisit over time! With the absolute appreciation of the help of a gracious Divine we were able to have a house item created as a part of this event! Just wanna thank @Carmain, @Mathonwy and @Ulrike for the help. And also @Taraus for helping with the item itself - It's hard to make a little orb interesting but hot dang, you have a gift.
The item itself is now in our house and it has a series of interactions that I think are pretty damn fun!
There will be some spammy chanting and such, so don't mind that, but for any interested in daemonic entities, do feel free to read!
Been a long time since I've been legit creeped out by a ritual that didn't also make me super grossed out at the same time. Major props to those involved, especially @Saeva who I know spent many many days and nights getting this all together. Was an awesome experience and looking forward to exploring the future with it and the House.
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
So this amazingness happened. Warning to those who are squeamish
Kitiara silently nods at the gathered observers, a wisp of a smile is subtly expressed.
You say in Mhaldorian in a trenchant voice, "Mhaldor, I present to you a holiday gift, a work of art in the form of both oppression and suffering, unified into one. Something I've been rebuilding for quite some time now, ever since I found a few curious cogs in the rubble of our history."
Kitiara raises two fingers into her mouth and with a sharp whistle you hear the gates of Mhaldor swing open from the down as a tall structure is seen in the distance.
A great chorus of shouts and cries stir themselves into existence as Kitiara's eyes flicker eagerly. The sound of rattling chains and groaning metal seeps through the fray as a huge machine is drawn into the room by a large gang of heavily clad orcs. Its huge wheels turn slowly and arduously as it grinds its way along.
You say excitedly in Mhaldorian in a trenchant voice, "Behold! A musical instrument
for the exquisite sounds of torture!"
With a wave of her hand, Kitiara gestures at what seems to be a massive, archaic musical organ. Tall, bloodied torture racks stand erected at the top of a platform above where pipes would be normally be.
Kitiara claps her hands together once with glee as she looks up at the magnificent structure. Various sized mhun slaves are tightly strapped naked to each of the racks. Their eyes filled with pleading terror as you observe an array of blades, needles, clamps and other more unspeakable instruments of suffering, hovering above them idly. Each tool connected to cogs and wheels that twist into a maze of mechanism before ending at a keyboard arrangement at the base.
You say in Mhaldorian in a trenchant voice, "Witness the beauty that is suffering. For each scream is a chorale to Him in a blood soaked cacophony of torment."
With a maddening hop skip to the machine's base, Kitiara flips the tails of her coat back as she sits on the stool in front of the keys. She laces her fingers together before cracking them and lightly places her fingertips on the board.
A sadistic grin creeps up Kitiara's features as she pulls one of the many knobs on the backboard of where the keys rest and looks up at the ominous machine. A series of movement within the grinding gears turn about before numerous massive metal blocks, previously hanging above each other mhun slave's heads, come crashing down simultaneously into their mouths. The loud sound of crunching teeth pierce the air. The slaves' distressing cries become quiet and muffled.
Kitiara presses and holds down on a single key as she looks up at the ominous machine. The silencers are released, lifted out of their mouths, as a few blades sway in the air as they cut into delicate flesh. Screams and wails intertwined together in a agonizing acapella as blood of their wound drips down into a trough below.
A sinister cackle escapes Kitiara's lips as she continues to press various keys as the thunderous cries echo into the city. The low gurgling howls undertone the high screeches of the younger slaves as their weeps and lamentful murmurs form haunting hymns of pain.
Kitiara lifts her fingers from the keys, causing the silencers to come smashing back down into the mouths as the blades halt in the air.
Kitiara smirks as she glances up from beneath her brow. Her fingertips start majestically gliding over the key, pressing them in a proficient and intentional order. The various tools of torture equally glide and sway at her keystrokes as the mufflers are released to the sounds of agonizing cries.
Sharp tools pierce deeply into the flesh as they twist and rip chunks out of the captives. Blades whirl about as they cut the sign of the Seven across their chest and thick blood starts to coat their naked bodies. Blood splashing about onto the ground. Kitiara closes her eyes as she listens to the soothing sounds of torment.
Ainly smirks.
With a pull of another knob, all but one silencer comes crashing down to silence the screams. Kitiara glares up at the mhun slave who continues to scream without a silencer. The torture tools stop as the slave's eyes become hollow and his body trembles.
Saeva takes a step back as a spray of blood gushes towards her.
Kitiara pushes a button and a three pronged metal tool hovers above the slave's nether regions. Grasping tightly around him, the tool spins and rips him apart as he cries out in agony before passing out.
You clap your hands together merrily.
The blood filled trough becomes full as Kitiara continues to play. The screams start to die down with each mhun passing out one by one. The trough, weighted by the crimson liquid, shifts and totters to the left as the blood pours into a metal container with a spout.
Kiet finds the largest nearby living shield, Aegoth, and steps behind him to avoid any sprays of blood, too.
Aegoth lets the blood soak him, reveling in a war, cleansing shower of blood. With a rumble, he shakes himself, splattering blood everywhere, coating everyone in droplets much like a shaggy dog full of mud would.
Kitiara presses another button as the container shifts and cranks before violently spitting out blood high into the air. The scarlet fluid rains gloriously down upon all who observe.
Kitiara stands back up and turns to the crowd. She extends her arms wide as she twirls in blood before removing her top hat as she takes a step back into a deep bow as blood continues to drench the area. Each scream and cry dwindles down one by one into silence as death consumes them.
Saeva wipes the rained blood from her eyes with a neutral expression.
Kiet creases his brow in a frown.
Saeva glances at the mutilated mhun bodies.
Ainly says to you in a deep voice, "That was enchanting."
Saeva Aristata, Insid'atori says to you, "Quite the performance, Purifier."
Kiet says in a clear, confident voice, "Very... interesting."
Tyrannus Xinna Dracrotalus, Dread Legate says in Mhaldorian, "Very... messy."
Kitiara nods at the massive orc slaves as she orders them to take the machine to clean it. They hastily obey and drag it back out to the down.
The corners of your mouth turn up as you grin mischievously.
Ainly says to you in a deep voice, "I would like to give that instrument a go one of these days."
You nod your head at Ainly.
Taraus takes a moment to wipe the blood from a disheveled eyebrow before she offers you a smatter of applause.
Kiet claps very, very uncertainly, looking around the gathered crowd to see if he's the only one.
You say to Ainly in Mhaldorian in a trenchant voice, "Certainly."
Aegoth rumbles a bit as he casually licks the blood from his claws, muttering "Yes, yesssss... nicely done," while his eyes are transfixed by the scene.
You say in Mhaldorian in a trenchant voice, "Thank you for relishing in the performance."
Ainly says to you in a deep voice, "Such a clever use of torture reminds me of my youth. Thank you for that."
Sylphiel allows the blood to soak onto her simple clothing. Small sprinkles of blood coat her face. Her eyes looking up at the organ, watching the blood continuing to drip.
"Kit always gets blood everywhere." Medi says, "If kit says to show up somewhere, bring an apron." Medi says, "Rule of thumb."
So this amazingness happened. Warning to those who are squeamish

Clearly @Kiet chose the wrong shield in @Aegoth for that one.

Mhaldor-encouraged mudsex oh my. It was at least somewhat tasteful.
Sycaerunax turns his noble head and, while gazing directly into
Bal'met's eyes, scrapes a grand old mansion from the southeastern
mountain face with slow, mute defiance
RIP demonic prostitution.
A frenzied cleric screams, "Like more than one halo!"
They had a brothel like that in one MUD I played, but it could either kill or revitalize you. I admit it was pretty damn hillarious when influential priests were feeling a bit frisky and died to it. That's what they get for their long sermons.
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "Okay, first, I'll give you the same gift I gave the
others."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "Do you recognize these spikes?."
You say in a silky, smooth tenor voice, "I don't."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "You pass them every day, surprisingly."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "However it is no surprise that we overlook them.
"
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "These are simple builder's framing spikes. There
are hundreds of thousands of them in our city holding the timbers of our building together. I
stopped one of our city's builders and he was kind enough to give me a handful of them."
Flicking a speck of dirt off a spike, Grandue aligns them in a row in the center of an iron table.
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "They are quite the mundane tool aren't they?"
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "However, they are necessary."
You say in a silky, smooth tenor voice, "They are, but obviously an important foundation."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "These overlooked, common pieces of iron run through
all of our walls and floors and ceilings. They serve a purpose and are largely unseen and receive no
praise, yet they hold the structure of our city together."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "Take a moment and look around you."
Raising a hand to the wall, Grandue points to a small spike protruding from the marble from which
hangs a tapestry.
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "There."
Moving his finger to the floor, Grandue points to a row of small iron discs flush with the floor.
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "And there, the heads of spikes securing the floor
upon which we stand."
Without looking, Grandue points his finger upward.
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "And though you can't see them, they're up there,
securing those statues of our past Patrons to the walls of the dome."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "They work together, they weather the storms and
they weather the years."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "And when one of them is weakened by rust or becomes
loose and is no longer working it is removed and replaced."
Grandue leans back in his chair, the grim ambiance dissipating instantly.
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "In a way, we are like these spikes, brothers.
"
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "And I want us to keep them to remind us of our
purpose, our responsibility."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "To aide in this, something special has been woven
into these spikes with the help of our allies on the Court."
Touching an iron spike lightly, Grandue pauses before continuing.
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "Like our roles, these spikes will only be able to
be carried by the one they've been given to."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "No, the one they've been GIFTED to."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "Go ahead, try to lift one. You'll find you cannot
claim them on your own."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "Our roles are not ones that we've given to
ourselves. We've been selected by the people living inside these walls, gifted an opportunity to
serve the Seat of Chaos."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "Chosen to lead."
With a look of pride spreading across his face, Grandue slowly places a hand on a black iron framing
spike.
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "These spike you'll find you are unable to give to
anyone else.
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "It is your's alone to carry."
You have emoted: Atalkez nods once in your direction, his eyes scanning the table curiously.
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "This represents that only you can fill your role,
it cannot be handed off to someone else."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "And these spikes will always find their way behind
the seal of our city in this cupboard."
With a wistful look on his face, Grandue touches a darkwood cupboard.
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "Within a day or so of you picking it up.
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "This symbolizes that our time in these seats is
temporal."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "We will not always sit on this Council."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "Our time is limited, so we must make the most of it.
"
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "When we meet, we'll place our spikes on the table
so that our role and responsibility will always be before our eyes."
Grandue turns toward you.
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "Archon Atalkez, citizen elect."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "When Triak stepped down from the seat you hold I
was pleased to see you step up to shoulder his responsibilities."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "You've been on this Council for 5 years and have
already proven yourself a capable leader."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "You often lead our soldiers when we are defending
against raids from our enemies."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "You've proven yourself capable of placing the needs
and well-being of our city above your own."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "Your maturity and advice will be a boon to this
Council."
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "I look forward to working alongside of you as we
lead our city into this new era."
The sound of metal scraping metal reverberates through the room as Grandue slides a black iron
framing spike from the center of an iron table and picks it up.
Grandue Bloodthroat, The Archon Ascendant says, "This is your spike, Archon. Carry it well."
Grandue gives a black iron framing spike to you.
This dark iron spike is crudely but effectively hammered into a sharp point at one end, and widens
into a circular ring-shaped base at the other.
It weighs about 5 pounds.
It bears the distinctive mark of Atalkez.
This was really cool, @Grandue
Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
Jukilian tells you in Hashani, "I don't know that I've actually tried your cooking at all yet."
You tell Jukilian, "Oh!"
--- Walk to Crossroads ---
Raising your hand in greeting, you say "Hi!"
You beam broadly at Jukilian.
You say to Jukilian, "Soooo...."
Jukilian snaps his fingers.
Jukilian looks at you questioningly and says, "Hmm?"
You have emoted: "You said you haven't had a chance to try my cooking," Qwyn prompts, beaming broadly.
You say, "In fact, nobody has!"
Jukilian says in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "Oh no."
Jukilian says to Ginovianna in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "I'm going to die."
You have emoted: Qwyn frowns and amends, "....Well, aside from FairyFoot, but he. Uhh."
Jukilian says in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "Died? Yes, that is what I am worreid about."
You have emoted: Qwyn flashes a guilty expression. "Definitely did not die. Especially not from starvation."
Jukilian says in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "Worried, even!"
"Oh?" Jukilian exclaims quizzically.
You say to Jukilian, "He's on a happy horse farm somewhere, prancing merrily!"
Jukilian says in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "To engineer yes... Yes."
Jukilian coughs softly.
Jukilian says in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "What am I doing."
Jukilian says to you in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "Yes... Yes."
You say, "Clearly you're hungry! Your brain is all confused!"
Jukilian says in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "I am utterly satiated, actually."
You have emoted: Qwyn's beam stretches even wider, before she presents a heaping plate of charred mystery meat to Jukilian with a (greasy) flourish.
Plate:
Nearly large enough to comfortably seat a dwarf, this immense platter provides an ample feast for most ravenous appetites. Heaped high with charred slabs of some sort of mysterious meat, the dish features hacked-up steaks, burnt to a charcoal crisp on the exterior, with hints of greenish hues marbling the under-cooked centre. The source of the meat itself is questionable, although a few coarse, wiry hairs and yellowed lumps that might be fragments of hooves serve as a navigational challenge to the diner and offer clues to the food's origins. A pool of oily blood congeals in the base of the platter, serving as a rancid dipping sauce, while a crumpled, wilted sprig of something greenish has been laid atop the mountain of meat itself in an attempt at a garnish.
You say brightly, "MMMMM!"
Izikiel says to Jukilian with a husky, western accent, "I suggest going vegetarian."
Izikiel shrugs helplessly.
You have emoted: Qwyn gives a happy gasp. "Mister Izikiel!" she exclaims. "I missed you in the shadows".
You beam broadly at Izikiel.
You smile and say, "Now it's a party."
Jukilian ponders a heaping plate of charred mystery meat closely and looks up at you. "Is this.. hair? Hair in this meat?"
Izikiel says with a husky, western accent, "I might just give this to Rinku."
You have emoted: Qwyn purses her lips, considering the question. "I think the technical term is fur," she evasively answers.
Izikiel says with a husky, western accent, "To be honest, I've seen worse types of food on tables in Mhaldor."
Jukilian timidly pokes at a heaping plate of charred mystery meat, before wiping his hand on your dress. "I think that is a hoof."
Izikiel wrinkles his nose and sniffs.
You have emoted: Qwyn seems undeterred by the remarks - or the grease stains - and proudly proclaims, "I made it all on my OWN!"
SMELL:
A heaping plate of charred mystery meat emits a reeking sweet-sour scent that hints at something rancid.
Izikiel says with a husky, western accent, "It smells.. sweet and sour."
A sleek pony paws the ground.
You say to a sleek pony, "Gingersnap! Did you want some too?!"
Izikiel says with a husky, western accent, "They say a cook presents their personality with their dishes."
You have emoted: Qwyn continues to smile brightly, apparently oblivious to just how horrid her dish is.
Izikiel pokes at a heaping plate of charred mystery meat urgently.
Tilting the plate to and fro, Jukilian carefully watches a pool of blood move about on a heaping plate of charred mystery meat, before he looks up at you and asks, "This isn't FairyFoot is it?"
TASTE:
A heaping plate of charred mystery meat tastes somehow both burnt and bloody, with a piquant hint of rancidity cutting through the raw centre.
Izikiel says with a husky, western accent, "This is raw."
You say to Izikiel, "AND cooked. More options is better!"
Izikiel laps his tongue against the meet momentarily.
You have emoted: Qwyn gives her pony a pat on the head. The beast tries to shy away, clearly unhappy with the woman he's carrying.
Izikiel coughs softly.
Izikiel says with a husky, western accent, "It tastes burnt."
You say, "This is Gingersnap. He's my test subj-- err. Mount."
Izikiel says with a husky, western accent, "And bloody."
Izikiel says with a husky, western accent, "I don't think I can eat this."
You have emoted: Qwyn shakes her head at Izikiel. "You just need to chew it a bit. It grows on you!"
Jukilian whispers to Izikiel in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "I think this used to be her previous mount."
Izikiel gives a horrified gasp.
Jukilian whispers to Izikiel in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "And it may literally grow on us from the look of it.."
Izikiel asks Gred, the Hashan humgii with a husky, western accent, "Please tell me you want this?"
Izikiel points accusingly at a heaping plate of charred mystery meat.
Izikiel says to you with a husky, western accent, "Eat with us."
You have emoted: Qwyn turns her attention away from the two of you for a moment, focusing on her pony. She shoves the plate under the mount's nose, doing her best to keep the beast from bucking away.
Izikiel says to you with a husky, western accent, "You can refuse but I'll just tie you to a tree and force feed this to you."
You have emoted: Qwyn's pony lets out a strangled neigh, ears flicking and eyes rolling back in clear distress.
Izikiel says with a husky, western accent, "Either alternative is dandy."
Jukilian says to you in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "What are you doing to that pony!?"
Jukilian whispers to a charcoal black hippogriff in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "Steer clear of this woman."
You have emoted: "Oh, I just ate," Qwyn answers Izikiel. "But Gingersnap hasn't!" she then explains to Jukilian. "I'm feeding him!"
Jukilian says to you in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "I don't think.. I don't think Gingersnap wants it."
You have emoted: With that, Qwyn gives up on struggling with the pony and simply dumps the contents of a heaping plate of charred mystery meat into the beast's feedbag.
You say brightly to Jukilian, "Now he does!"
Jukilian says in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "I wonder if there's an organisation that handles the mistreatment of animals."
Jukilian ponders you with a contemplative expression.
Izikiel tilts his head to one side while looking at nothing in particular, rubs his chin, and thoughtfully mumbles "Hrm."
You have emoted: Qwyn's eyes widen. "That's a BRILLIANT idea, Mister Jukilian!" she exclaims. "I can cook them a whole batch of food for the little beasties!"
Izikiel says with a husky, western accent, "Let's uh...all go have a picnic...under a tree."
You say, "I'll go visit Eleusis and see if they have an organization like that!"
Jukilian puts his hand over the front of his mask as you hear him retch underneath it. You then hear a tentative swallowing sound, before he coughs and says, "I just vomited in my mouth.."
You have emoted: Qwyn gives her pony a few little kicks in the side, encouraging it to move. The beast just stands there, a low, whining noise emanating from the feedbag.
Izikiel creases his brow in a frown.
You frown at Jukilian.
Jukilian clears his throat.
Jukilian says to you in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "Yes?"
You have emoted: In concern, Qwyn says to Jukilian, "Maybe you should eat something! You don't look well."
You say, "...as much as I can tell, anyways. Your mask. Uhh. Isn't its usual bright patina!"
Izikiel says with a husky, western accent, "Ate it all up."
Shaking his head at you, Jukilian states with great confidence, "No, I am fine. I do not need to eat anything. I work better on less food."
Izikiel smiles reassuringly.
Izikiel whispers to Jukilian with a husky, western accent, "No I didn't."
You have emoted: Qwyn's smile begins to waver. Her eyes grow wider, and her lower lip starts to quiver. Even her pigtails seem to droop.
Jukilian whispers to Izikiel in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "I think I said something bad."
Izikiel whispers to Jukilian with a husky, western accent, "Probably."
You have emoted: "So..." Qwyn sniffles once. Her stare is a bit moist, tears threatening to fall. "So...So you guys don't like my first try at cooking?"
Izikiel says with a husky, western accent, "Don't...don't cry..."
Jukilian says to you in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "Oh, uh.. It's.. unique. I can definitely say that I have seen nothing like it before."
You have emoted: Qwyn sniffles again, staring at both Jukilian and Izikiel with a wide, tear-threatening stare.
Izikiel says with a husky, western accent, "Yeah...erh..."
Izikiel says with a husky, western accent, "You're onto...something..."
Izikiel whispers to Jukilian with a husky, western accent, "Something lethal to feed the enemy."
Jukilian whispers to Izikiel in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "I doubt Mhaldorians would even eat this."
You have emoted: Qwyn sniffles again, louder this time. It's more of a honking snort. She manages a weak smile. "So I should keep trying?" she asks, clearly hopeful.
Jukilian says in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "Uh, sure. Just.. find a different source of meat, perhaps."
You have emoted: Qwyn nods once, her smile creeping back. "Okey dokey," she agrees.
Jukilian says in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "One that doesn't leave one quite so... hoarse?"
You have emoted: "And!" Qwyn concludes, beaming once more. "I'll be sure to bring my next attempt to you two and give you the VERY FIRST tastes!"
Izikiel says with a husky, western accent, "Right..."
Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.
Izikiel whispers to Jukilian with a husky, western accent, "Pluck out my guts, please..."
Jukilian whispers to Izikiel in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "Okay. You're sneaky. You need to inform me the next time she approaches with 'food'."
Jukilian whispers to Izikiel in Hashani in a low, croaking voice, "And I'll do my best to get us out of there."
You say, "....now, to find that animal protection society. I'm sure they'd love a batch!"
Izikiel clears his throat.
Izikiel whistles innocently.
You have emoted: Qwyn kicks at her pony once more. Begrudgingly, the mount sighs and slowly trudges away. [/spoiler]

Just wanna thank @Carmain, @Mathonwy and @Ulrike for the help. And also @Taraus for helping with the item itself - It's hard to make a little orb interesting but hot dang, you have a gift.
The item itself is now in our house and it has a series of interactions that I think are pretty damn fun!

That love soon might end You are unbreaking
And be known in its aching Though quaking
Shown in this shaking Though crazy
Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
expressed.
You say in Mhaldorian in a trenchant voice, "Mhaldor, I present to you a holiday
gift, a work of art in the form of both oppression and suffering, unified into one.
Something I've been rebuilding for quite some time now, ever since I found a few
curious cogs in the rubble of our history."
Kitiara raises two fingers into her mouth and with a sharp whistle you hear the
gates of Mhaldor swing open from the down as a tall structure is seen in the
distance.
A great chorus of shouts and cries stir themselves into existence as Kitiara's eyes
flicker eagerly. The sound of rattling chains and groaning metal seeps through the
fray as a huge machine is drawn into the room by a large gang of heavily clad orcs.
Its huge wheels turn slowly and arduously as it grinds its way along.
You say excitedly in Mhaldorian in a trenchant voice, "Behold! A musical instrument
for the exquisite sounds of torture!"
With a wave of her hand, Kitiara gestures at what seems to be a massive, archaic
musical organ. Tall, bloodied torture racks stand erected at the top of a platform
above where pipes would be normally be.
Kitiara claps her hands together once with glee as she looks up at the magnificent
structure. Various sized mhun slaves are tightly strapped naked to each of the
racks. Their eyes filled with pleading terror as you observe an array of blades,
needles, clamps and other more unspeakable instruments of suffering, hovering above
them idly. Each tool connected to cogs and wheels that twist into a maze of
mechanism before ending at a keyboard arrangement at the base.
You say in Mhaldorian in a trenchant voice, "Witness the beauty that is suffering.
For each scream is a chorale to Him in a blood soaked cacophony of torment."
With a maddening hop skip to the machine's base, Kitiara flips the tails of her
coat back as she sits on the stool in front of the keys. She laces her fingers
together before cracking them and lightly places her fingertips on the board.
A sadistic grin creeps up Kitiara's features as she pulls one of the many knobs on
the backboard of where the keys rest and looks up at the ominous machine. A series
of movement within the grinding gears turn about before numerous massive metal
blocks, previously hanging above each other mhun slave's heads, come crashing down
simultaneously into their mouths. The loud sound of crunching teeth pierce the air.
The slaves' distressing cries become quiet and muffled.
Kitiara presses and holds down on a single key as she looks up at the ominous
machine. The silencers are released, lifted out of their mouths, as a few blades
sway in the air as they cut into delicate flesh. Screams and wails intertwined
together in a agonizing acapella as blood of their wound drips down into a trough
below.
A sinister cackle escapes Kitiara's lips as she continues to press various keys as
the thunderous cries echo into the city. The low gurgling howls undertone the high
screeches of the younger slaves as their weeps and lamentful murmurs form haunting
hymns of pain.
Kitiara lifts her fingers from the keys, causing the silencers to come smashing
back down into the mouths as the blades halt in the air.
Kitiara smirks as she glances up from beneath her brow. Her fingertips start
majestically gliding over the key, pressing them in a proficient and intentional
order. The various tools of torture equally glide and sway at her keystrokes as the
mufflers are released to the sounds of agonizing cries.
Sharp tools pierce deeply into the flesh as they twist and rip chunks out of the
captives. Blades whirl about as they cut the sign of the Seven across their chest
and thick blood starts to coat their naked bodies. Blood splashing about onto the
ground. Kitiara closes her eyes as she listens to the soothing sounds of torment.
Ainly smirks.
With a pull of another knob, all but one silencer comes crashing down to silence
the screams. Kitiara glares up at the mhun slave who continues to scream without a
silencer. The torture tools stop as the slave's eyes become hollow and his body
trembles.
Saeva takes a step back as a spray of blood gushes towards her.
Kitiara pushes a button and a three pronged metal tool hovers above the slave's
nether regions. Grasping tightly around him, the tool spins and rips him apart as he
cries out in agony before passing out.
You clap your hands together merrily.
The blood filled trough becomes full as Kitiara continues to play. The screams
start to die down with each mhun passing out one by one. The trough, weighted by the
crimson liquid, shifts and totters to the left as the blood pours into a metal
container with a spout.
Kiet finds the largest nearby living shield, Aegoth, and steps behind him to avoid
any sprays of blood, too.
Aegoth lets the blood soak him, reveling in a war, cleansing shower of blood. With a
rumble, he shakes himself, splattering blood everywhere, coating everyone in
droplets much like a shaggy dog full of mud would.
Kitiara presses another button as the container shifts and cranks before violently
spitting out blood high into the air. The scarlet fluid rains gloriously down upon
all who observe.
Kitiara stands back up and turns to the crowd. She extends her arms wide as she
twirls in blood before removing her top hat as she takes a step back into a deep bow
as blood continues to drench the area. Each scream and cry dwindles down one by one
into silence as death consumes them.
Saeva wipes the rained blood from her eyes with a neutral expression.
Kiet creases his brow in a frown.
Saeva glances at the mutilated mhun bodies.
Ainly says to you in a deep voice, "That was enchanting."
Saeva Aristata, Insid'atori says to you, "Quite the performance, Purifier."
Kiet says in a clear, confident voice, "Very... interesting."
Tyrannus Xinna Dracrotalus, Dread Legate says in Mhaldorian, "Very... messy."
Kitiara nods at the massive orc slaves as she orders them to take the machine to
clean it. They hastily obey and drag it back out to the down.
The corners of your mouth turn up as you grin mischievously.
Ainly says to you in a deep voice, "I would like to give that instrument a go one of
these days."
You nod your head at Ainly.
Taraus takes a moment to wipe the blood from a disheveled eyebrow before she offers
you a smatter of applause.
Kiet claps very, very uncertainly, looking around the gathered crowd to see if he's
the only one.
You say to Ainly in Mhaldorian in a trenchant voice, "Certainly."
Aegoth rumbles a bit as he casually licks the blood from his claws, muttering "Yes,
yesssss... nicely done," while his eyes are transfixed by the scene.
You say in Mhaldorian in a trenchant voice, "Thank you for relishing in the
performance."
Ainly says to you in a deep voice, "Such a clever use of torture reminds me of my
youth. Thank you for that."
Sylphiel allows the blood to soak onto her simple clothing. Small sprinkles of blood
coat her face. Her eyes looking up at the organ, watching the blood continuing to
drip.
Medi says, "If kit says to show up somewhere, bring an apron."
Medi says, "Rule of thumb."
Still, very nice! I would have giggled at it.
Medi says, "If kit says to show up somewhere, bring an apron."
Medi says, "Rule of thumb."

Long and cylindrical, this slice of biscotti is firm and possessed of a cookie-
like crunch that sheds crumbs with every bite. Almonds are embedded in it,
lending a mild hint of their flavour to the mellow cocoa of the delicacy. Its
shape and structure seem perfect for dunking, while the taste perfectly suits a
kawhe enhancement.
It has about a month of usefulness left.
It weighs 5 ounce(s).
You sidle up to a piece of biscotti and drool on it.
You regard a piece of biscotti with shifty eyes, looking it up and down.
You eat a piece of biscotti with gusto.
Your breath sizzles as you say, "Now I am sad."
Your breath sizzles as you say, "For I have no biscotti."
A lump forms in your throat as emotion overwhelms you; a single tear runs down
your cheek.
Mycen says to Yae with a soft, purring accent, "He does it often."
