188. Captivity Meme!

[this_time_i_win]

THE CAPTIVITY MEMEYou've been captured - or maybe you've been held captive for a while now. Whatever the case, you've lost your freedom, and there's a specific person responsible for that. You might be a prisoner, a mental patient, a kidnap victim, or someone's pet. Maybe you're there willingly, or maybe the choice has been taken away from you

LOL 2

[So that rope that Connor's always on about? Murphy's probably hating it even more now Tina's used it to bind him. Well, his hands at least - first she'd wrapped the rope around each wrist and then looped it around both to make it more difficult for him to try and Houdini his way out of it. The end of the rope is tightly wrapped to a beam that goes across the ceiling of Tina's attic. Yes, that's where's she's keeping him, and thereby making the world a little safer.

Still, the basic kidnapping/holding hostage bit aside, she's a fairly nice captor. At least, she's trying to be. Look, she's brought him some food!] ....Come on, you've gotta eat.

LOL indeed!! X3

*Telling Tina about the mission the Lord has given Connor and him? It had proven to be the worst mistake Murphy had ever commited. The bitch had trapped him and she was really talented when it came to fucking knots!*

*Fucking hell, he truly hated this stupid fucking rope...*

Let me go. *he repeated for what it felt the millionth time* Fucken' untie me already, Tina. *he didn't even glance at the plate she'd brought him. His eyes were set on hers the whole time.*

[morbidbubbles]

[Apparently somewhere between the King and I singalongs and the making out with an ab-tastic guy, Tina had learned something useful at Asian camp!

He had the most piercing eyes. Even tied up he still sent chills through her body. Somehow she found the strength to slowly shake her head at him, gently putting the plate down on the nearby table] Murphy, I....I can't do that. Somebody'll end up dead. Until you agree to give up this...crusade or whatever you're on, you're staying here.

[4_thee_my_lord]

*He clenched his jaw, trying to be patient for a change. He had already trashed his body, yelled and lost his temper and that clearly didn't work. He had to convince her now.*

Tina. *he took a deep breath, never blinking as he stared at the younger girl.* That's the point. Killin' every motherfucker that deserves ta die. Yeh got it? *he suddenly jerked his body forward, still testing those knots.* Connor and I'll be fine.

[morbidbubbles]

N-No, I don't get it, Murphy, I- [Tina felt her insides tremble slightly. Damn he really how to be intimidating, even when she was supposed to have the upper hand. His sudden jerk to test the knots again made her jump back from him, knocking of the plate of his intended food] Damnit!

[She curses in frustration, because really she hates being this person, but she doesn't understand where's coming from. As she bends to try and scoop up the mushy remnants of his food back onto the plate so she can get rid of it, she continues] And just how do you judge who's 'worthy'? What if you've got a grudge against somebody and then you see them steal a couple of pennies from a donation jar? Does that mean you're gonna pop them in the head?

[4_thee_my_lord]

*He snorted, leaning back to try and relax his muscles a bit. The tiny wonky smile on his lips was a bitter one, was she really that scared of him?*

It doesn't work like that, our judgin' is far more complicated. *except that, it wasn't. Either way, the Lord had trusted he and Connor for a reason, didn't He?* We've got rid of true scumbags. Didn't yeh see the news? We're makin' a better world.

[morbidbubbles]

[It's not that she's exactly scared of him, it's of what he could do. Or was that the same thing? If he got loose, was he going to still see her as Tina or just a girl who got in his way? She still liked him, cared about him on some level, but knowing about his mission frightened her more than anything]

The news isn't always right, you know... [But yes, she had seen the news. The reports, the almost cult-like following that was forming in support of their vigilante justice] And besides, what if you're doing more harm than good? What if any old kid thinks he can just pick up a gun and right what he thinks is wrong? Aren't you putting out the message that the judicial system blows and violence makes it better?

[4_thee_my_lord]

We've been killin' mafiosos, drug dealers, rapists! *he narrows his eyes* C'mon, Tina. Yer gonna tell me yeh never thought that gettin' rid of those fuckers would be fer the best?

*he tilts his head back* And if the Lord asked us ta do it, there's nothin' else we can do.

[morbidbubbles]

Uh- [Okay that question makes her falter in her argument and she gets quiet for a moment. Her eyes flicker to meet his, then look away] ....This isn't about me, Murphy.

Ugh, that's the part I don't understand - how the hell do you know it's.. 'God' telling you to do this? What if you're just like, rationalizing it like that to make yourself feel better?

[4_thee_my_lord]

Yeh fucken' tricked me and got me tied with this stuped fucken' rope. *he jerked his arms to the sides, testing his bind again* This is about yeh now.

He gave us a message ta the both of us. The same message. *he bowed his head, looking at the spot where he knew his cross was resting* Connor and I know what we saw and we believe in that.

[morbidbubbles]

Well what choice did I have? Am I supposed to let you just go out and kill people like it's normal? How am I supposed to live with that?

[4_thee_my_lord]

And what's yer plan? *he jerked his chin and pointed at the plate with it* Keepin' me here like some secret pet?

[morbidbubbles]

I....I don't know, okay? [Tina sighed, pushing the plate away and sitting on the floor a few feet from him] It just....seemed like a good idea at the time. I'm not good with secret plans and stuff.

...Guess that's the different between us, huh?

[4_thee_my_lord]

*he watched her in silence, clearly too pissed to be talkative, supportive or any of that shite women usually expect you to be.*

*Besides, a far more important matter was bothering him now.*

... I need ta take a leak.

[morbidbubbles]

[She groaned and gave him a look] Are you serious? I brought you water like, 2...hours ago.

[Another sigh] ...Fiiine, lemme get the handcuffs. [The handcuffs are hers, currently resting on top of a trunk to the far side of one of the attic walls. She had them for...recreational purposes. Sadly this is nowhere near as fun. She reluctantly got to her feet and retrieved both her preferred pair (shiny and silver) and her backup pair (black fuzzy and never used).]

Guess I'll be nice and offer you a choice which ones you want for your wrists.
