Welcome to Clipped Wings - OPEN for business!

[Tiltilla]

Kaura

Kaura patted his back gently for a moment, nodding when he finally gave a name. “Good now Istan. Welcome to Clipped Wings, this will be your home until a new master comes to buy you. We will feed and take care of you, and as long as you don’t disobey there is nothing to fear, do you understand?” She resisted the urge to cover her welts, long, red, and very visible in the less than modest outfit that Cal was forcing her to wear.

She pulled back, placing one hand on his shoulder, and the other under his chin to guide his head up to look her in the eyes. “I have to put you in your cage, you won’t be chained or bound, but magic here won’t work.” She smiled timidly, “I am afraid you missed dinner, but if you are hungry I will find you something to eat, is that alright?”  

[I--LiveWire--I]

Istan nodded silently, trying to stop the tears for falling. He understood and would try to be on his best behavior. He lowered his arms back to his sides as she pulled back from him. He could feel her hand on his shoulder as she lifted his head up to look into his eyes.

His deep, blue, eyes still filled with the torn, guilt ridden look. As she told him she would have to put him in his cage the voices came up with wore things to say. And his eyes seemed to gain a glazed appearance as he was drawn into his mind. Not hearing her last words.

You murdered your master, now you will pay. You're a cold blooded killer, it's in your blood. it's in your past. You can't escape it or cover it up. The voices hissed, echoing over and over in his mind.

The tears fell with renewed vigor and he shook his head, violently. "NO! I didn't do do it. I'm not a killer! I'm NOT!!" He shouted defiantly falling to his knees. The words just flowed form his lips without being thought though. He wasn't really even aware that he had spoken aloud.

You are. They echoed repeatedly.

"NO!" Istan practically Screamed. "I didn't do it. I couldn't have." His voice lowering until it drifted off. Tears dripped tot eh floor as the voices continued to echo and taunt. Images of his dead master brought to his mental vision.

Ryo stayed back in his cage but he opened his eyes letting the main color, light blue, show vividly even through the shadow. His eyes never strayed off of the new slave who he heard him say "Istan" he guessed it was his name. He couldnt help but notice his actions and his constant hesitance of words. Ryo thought about every possible thing this Istan could have done to act and behave like this. He thinks to that he needs to get to know this Istan and even hopefully return him to his normal self. during his thought he says aloud but in a whisper, " What can i do..."

Kaura

The man started shouting when she mentioned the cage and her eyes went wide for a moment. “Istan!” She said loudly, grabbing him by the shoulders. Something was taunting him, driving him mad. Did he kill someone? So many mental disorders came to mind, but that would have to wait until he calmed down. She took him by the shoulder and looked right into his eyes. “Listen to me, and only me! It doesn’t matter what you did or did not do in the past, it only matters what you do from this moment on. You’re not going into your cage as a punishment; this is just how the shop works. Please, stop crying.”

She took him into another embrace, this one firmer than her last, and stroked his head gently. “Listen to my voice, Istan. As long as you are in this shop only the words of Cal and I matter, and I am telling you to release the past. It does not matter; you are a new man here. Do not listen to what anyone else might say do you understand?”

Skara: Slave

Skara walked as far behind her master as her short chain would allow, as he entered the shop she stopped to look back outside before getting pulled harshly through the door. He looked around trying to find the owner looking very agitated.

 

[I--LiveWire--I]

Istan wascrying so hard now that his shoulders shook. He could feel the elf grab him but he was too wrapped up in the voices to really feel it. He didnt' hear her exclaim his name.

As she looked into his eyes they have a vacant misty look to them, he didn't see her. He didn't hear her.

You're shunned, feared, and hated. The voices taunted pulling him in. He could feel himself giving into their words as they echoed about his mind.

He was on the verge of losing control again, when the elf wrapped him in a firm embrace. He felt it, fully and pushed the, now angry voices away from him. They hissed obscenities in his head cursing him and calling him a killer.

He blinked and his sad, blue eyes lost the misty look. As he pulled further away from the voices he began to hear the elf's words. The voices in his head only vague whispers, now.

He swallowed hard and looked back into the elf's kind eyes. He finally willed himself to stop crying. He knew he wouldn't be able to release the event of his master's death, until he knew if he had actually been the one who did the killing. However, finding something physical that contradicted what the voices told him, gave him the strength to push on.

He shoved the images, that he had woken to that morning, to the back of his mind. Shoving them in a little mental box. He returned the embrace this time before pulling back.

He wiped the tears from his face and looked the elf in the eyes again. His eyes filled with sorrow but, now they held a hint of gratitude. searching for his voice, he found it and spoke. "I understand. But I can't release it until I know the truth." He said calmly and sincerely.

Then he climbed into his cage without a word. He curled his legs up to his chest. The cage didn't bother him, it was never the problem. He was used to much worse. It was the voices that he couldn't take much of. HE was glad that he had pushed them back. Things never went well when they came forward, with vigor.

 

[Dez Aisu]

Ryo watched Istan go into his cage and he never gazes away. He shifts facing towards Istan and says, " Hey you, your name is Istan, Right?"
Not wanting to push things even further to him he waits for him to answer before continuing to carefully enter his mind with just words and allow him to let it out and talk about it.

Kaura

Kaura nodded as he entered his cage, and shut the door behind him. “Well, if you cannot forget, then do not let it torment you. As far as I am concerned whatever happened was not done by this self, so you should not allow it to burden you so.” She frowned and glanced up at the front of the shop, lowering her voice. “But I would suggest you not scream and yell, I do not want you to be punished for disturbing visiting Masters.” She glanced over as another slave addressed him, glad that he would have some company, at least.

She turned away, flashing him and Ryo a quick smile before going to the front of the sotre to greet the new master and the young slave he was leading. “Good day to you both.” She said, giving them wide smiles. “My name is Kaura, how may I assist you today?”  

[I--LiveWire--I]

He nodded curtly to her words, not really taking them to heart. Then she lowered her voice and continued to speak. He listened and as he did so his eyes widened, slightly. He had screamed. He wasn't aware of preforming such actions. That wasn't a good sign. Usually when he couldn't remember what he had done it entailed much worse than screaming and yelling. He just then realized how close he had been to falling into the confusing, black void again.

((Um Is Ryo speaking to him verbally or mentally? confused ))  

[Krystal-unicorn]

Skara

"How much can I sell her for?" He asked yanking Skara forward. She almost fell onto the floor catching herself, she stood next to her master. Staring at the what she guessed was the shop owner, she wondered why she would even address her.

 

[Dez Aisu]

(physially for now.)

"You seem to be in pain is there anything i can do to help you, to the extent of what i can."
Ryo's blue eyes seem to pierce into the very soul but cause peace instead of anguish. Ryp waits for him ansewer. he lets off a a gentle grin where only the edge of his teeth show. He adjusts jis posisiton to a more comfortable position.

 

[Tiltilla]

Kaura

Kaura nearly frowned when the master roughly yanked the young girl forward, making her wonder again why this girl was being sold to them. She kept her face blank though, and gave the master a quick bow, “We will buy her for five hundred dollars sir.” She said quietly, and gave the little slave a reassuring smile.  

[I--LiveWire--I]

((okay))

Istan looked over at Ryo when he addressed him. Turning fully to face him Istan looked him over then answered. "I am" He voice lighter as he started to drift back to his normal self.

Then in response to his next question he shook his head slowly. "I wish you could do something for me, but it's something I need to sort out on my own." He paused. "That is since you weren't in the room with me this morning." He chose to be vague to avoid bringing up the mental images he had recently forced into a mental box.

Ryo's gaze seemed to give him a peaceful feeling and his grin made him feel welcome.

It's manipulating you. a voice said jeeringly in a know-it-all fashion.

For a moment Istan's eyes hardened, angry that the voice referred to this kind slave as an it. "Shut up." he mumbled quietly.

Eyes shifting back to a soft blue, with a hint of sorrow. He smiled, a real smile and asked. "So you know my name, What's yours?"

 

[Krystal-unicorn]

Skara


"Fine" he said a little disappointed at the low price. Skara looked at her in confusion not sure what to think of her kindness.

 

[Dez Aisu]

Ryo watched him and heard him speak to himself.
"My name is Ryo, and well i may not have been in the room this morning , but you are experiencing something here and now. I might be able to help if i knew what it was." He says this in such a tone to where his words could sink in to ones mind to both help them understand and calm them.
