Don't you want to play?

Who: Magnus, Markux, the Flowers
When: Two years after they are created.
What: Gifting

Magnus smiled, tying the large, satin ribbon around Poppy's neck with amusement. Big, purple, and ridiculous, it made Poppy look like a stripper at a bachelorette party. Or after said party really given he was naked except for the collar he wore under that ribbon. "There. It's the small details really..." he chuckled. "I've already transferred ownership, you're a proper gift and you had best be able to sooth him in his declining years." Or else.

Orchid watched from her elegant sprawl on the bed, face politely impassive, but the inner ranting was anything but...::sending you off to a mystery man he won't give us any info on...:: she hissed. She didn't like it, not at all, and he hadn't allowed her to do the property transfer so she couldn't even give her brother a clue. They both knew by this point though that their Master's 'gifts' never benefited anyone but him. ::Make yourself indispensable, please, I can't lose you...:: so he had to make his new master NEED him! Even if they were apart they could still talk when they passed near each other and that gave her a reason to hope.

"The hover will drop you at the door, you'll need the master of the establishment, naturally." Magnus smiled, slapping Poppy on the ass harshly and waving him away.

The hover dropped him, as promised, at a elegantly crafted landing pad on a disk nowhere near Magnus's. It was all smooth polished stone leading up to immense doors with beautiful carvings of naked people in all manner of water play and relaxation...

“Roche talked to us.”

[petal_storm]

"I see," that led to another, long thoughtful silence. "And did Roche agree your purpose is to be a slave?"

[code_jaeger]

“We don’t know.”

[petal_storm]

"You gathered nothing about him from his talking with you?" He chuckled softly. "What did he say about me then?"

[code_jaeger]

Roche loves plants. “He doesn’t want us to be slaves but…”

[petal_storm]

"First, foremost, and always," he agreed softly. "But?"

[code_jaeger]

“Roche is a strange one.”

[petal_storm]

"He's autistic, brilliant and incredibly introverted," he chuckled softly. "He was not suppose to here, until you said his name I thought he was in Japan when the world fell."

[code_jaeger]

“No. He’s a prisoner.”

[petal_storm]

"I see, thank you for that," he nodded.

[code_jaeger]

“….fine.” He sighed.

[petal_storm]

"Knowing it means he can be gotten out," he noted gently.

[code_jaeger]

“You’re quite insane.”

[petal_storm]

"And you believe Magnus is a god," he sighed. "Do you not want him out then?"

[code_jaeger]

“A devil more likely.”

[petal_storm]

"Devils are God's of darker things," he noted gently.

[code_jaeger]

“He is…” he sighed.

[petal_storm]

"Not a God, though he'd wish to be," he admitted. "But are you calmer now?"

[code_jaeger]

“I guess.” He sighed. He was done for. Outbursts like that simply weren’t tolerated.

[petal_storm]

"Do you play chess at all?" He asked softly.

[code_jaeger]

“No.” He frowned.

[petal_storm]

"Unfortunate," he mused, considering. It was easier to explain with chess. "Magnus does nothing without layered reasons. In this case there is the reason he told you, and a plethora of others intended as probes and attacks. I will be countering several of said attacks through not caving to the surface demands," and it would be exhausting regardless.

"That advances the plot as it were, because your assignment will fail but your personal position will be much higher, making you an asset instead of a weapon. He knows I am a bleeding heart, he knows I will protect and house you, which means he will believe he has attained something he has failed to do since he decided we were rivals."

[code_jaeger]

“He will take his frustration out on people.” Namely his sister.

[petal_storm]

"The obvious attacks being diverted doesn't cause frustration, trust me," he admitted quietly. "Next he'll send your sister here to see you."

[code_jaeger]

“Why…?”
