this thread.
Warnings: Maia. Lots of Dark Eco, pain, and general unpleasantness. This isn't going to be a superhappyfuntimes log (unless you're Maia).

Won't you come sit with me? )
She moves to where the coils of rope are, grabbing them while Jinx drags Phoenix across the threshold and into the library proper. She beams at him and skips over, smooching him on the cheek with a giggle of glee.
Is Harley having the time of her life? Hell yes she is! :D
She lets Jinxy do the man work, and waits until Phoenix has been hoisted into a library chair before moving in to secure his legs, arms and torso to the chair. Watching her, you just might think that she's done this before.
"Ahh .. just like the good ole days!" She swoons, jerking the final knot into place. She leans in over Phoenix's shoulder from behind, smooching his cheek and leaving a lingering black lipstick print. "Ya gonna love it, bubs!"
She moves around in front of him and frowns at his rather unresponsiveness.
"Tch .. so rude, ya know? Ya got ladies present!" She gives him a good solid love tap to the cheek. "WAKEY WAKEY EGGS 'N BAKEY!!"

He decides to just wait this out, maybe expecting some sort of reward.
Pulling Phoenix to the seat, Jinx flops the man's arms about as he slips off the seat every few seconds until Harley gets that final knot tied. And don't worry about Jinx being in the way, he'll stay good and far away.

Once Jinx and Harley have finished tying him in place, he sags against the ropes, still unconscious despite the pain clearly written on his face.

"Move." Maia wants to get to work, and if she is to do that, then she needs both Harley and Jinx to get out of her way and for them to stay there. She waits for the two of them to move away before sauntering over to Phoenix, all too happy to take a seat on his lap and just grin. While Maia would have liked to take a bit more time with this - perhaps to instill a bit more paranoia in him, or to target the other women he seemed to be so fond of - this is still as good a time as any.
The simple truth of the matter is that Maia has wanted to do this even before Phoenix had killed her, although that certainly gave her even more motivation to do this.
She takes a moment to pull off both of her gloves before focusing her attention back on her guest. Maia tilts his chin up. Even if he's unconscious right now, she wants him to be looking at her when he wakes up.
"You really should wake up, Phoenix. It's rude to keep your hostess waiting." Not wanting to waste any more time, Maia presses her lips to Phoenix's and sends a charge of Dark Eco through his body. Nothing too lethal, just enough to wake him up.
This is only a taste of what she has in store for him.

She scoots to one side and pushes herself up onto a table nearby, legs swinging idly. She hated waiting. Being patient was for pushovers. BUT, she was a good lackey and did as she was told now as always; waiting until Maia called on her, with her hands folded in her lap.

Jinx leans on the bench right next to Harley, elbows propped and legs crossed at the ankles.

But the illusion is shattered violently as liquid fire pours through his veins. Phoenix jerks, his cry of pain cut off by Maia's mouth, and instinctively he tries to throw the woman off - but he can't move his arms. He can't move his legs.
His eyes fly open as panic flares in his chest.
...well. He's certainly wide awake.

"Did you enjoy your nap, Phoenix?"
Maia's tone is almost cheerful. As if she's addressing a dear friend instead of the man who had killed her.
"I told you that we'd be seeing each other soon enough!"

As Phoenix jerks back to consciousness, Harley lets out a soft 'oooo' and speaks sidelong to Jinx. "That glowy stuff eco?" It's kind of a whisper, but not really. She's really trying not to interrupt, but you know how it is. :D
[ooc: I'll respond so long as there is stuff to respond to, but if there's a point where it looks like I'm just repeating myself, I'll say so. If it happens, please feel free to skip me and just let me know when I need to tag in again; or, since I'll be watching anyway, I'll just jump on in again. :3 ]

"Yup."
[ooc: Same goes for Jinx \o\!]

"Get off of me," he snarls even as he struggles against his bonds, trying to ignore the sick twist in his stomach from the Dark Eco exposure just now. His eyes flicker briefly to Harley and Jinx before snapping back to Maia as his primary concern. "Release me at once, Maia Acheron!"

Phoenix's demand just earns an amused laugh from her, though.
"And why would I do that? Letting you go after having Harley go through all the trouble of catching you is rather counter-productive, wouldn't you think?"

Then Phoenix snarls at Maia and when his glance moves over Harley and her table mate, she lifts a hand and waves, happily waving back at him. She speaks sidelong to Jinx, wry grin on her face. "We should'a brought some snacks .. I mean, if we're gettin' a live show an' all, it would only be right, ya know?"
And then Phoenix is making demands again and Harley snorts, laughing aloud at Maia's quick rebuttal. "HAH! I don't think he appreciates all my hard work, Mai-tai! No respect for a job well done .." She 'tssks' softly, shaking her head in a greatly exaggerated manner.

When Phoenix glances Jinx's way, all Jinx does is to give the man a jerked nod. Yup, Jinx is currently having a moral dilemma at the moment. Stopping the women will make him lose two sets of boobs friends. Staying is really a very bad thing, a a very bad thing.
"Yeah, gotta say, Phoenix. We worked pretty damn hard ta' pull this off."

Growling, he turned his attention to Jinx. "I shouldn't be surprised to find you in on this, but I would have thought you would at least have the sense to avoid Dark Eco, Jinx! An idiot who plays with fire is bound to get burned-" He snarls and snaps his head forward, hoping to catch Maia off guard and slam his head into hers. "All three of you will live to regret this!"

"Oh, come now. Stop being so unreasonable and enjoy yourself while you still can. I haven't even started playing, yet!"
