HQ The Black Hand

@Godfrey Gao [] good good, happy to help

@Takenaka Minpha ()Organized crime that leads the Government. I do like the alliance as well.

@Godfrey Gao [] verrrry y ;;)

@Takenaka Minpha ()That could be y...

@Godfrey Gao [] so now they have an alliance kind of business deal thing going on?

@Godfrey Gao [] I think he should be reeeeeeeally powerful!!
and maybe he still helped minpha with getting to power-- for example, the former head of the black hand was constantly getting in godfrey's way and in exchange for helping minpha get to the top, minpha signed off on a deal his predecessor refused to agree on

@Godfrey Gao [] y AF
so what is he the boss of? an organized crime syndicate? a corrupt corporation that steers the government?

@Takenaka Minpha ()I want to be THE boss :) That would be y

@Godfrey Gao [] then the question is, in A position of power, alongside Minpha
in A position of power somewhere else
or in THE position of power
I think Godfre shouldn't just be a doctor, at the same time I would like Minpha and Godfrey to have a good relationship, something where Minpha can be his weird, erratic self and Godfrey knows how to handle it and won't flip his

@Takenaka Minpha () I think he should as well. Victim doesn't suit him well

@Godfrey Gao [] KYAHAHA I think Godfrey should be in a position of power

@Takenaka Minpha () EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING. I'VE ED EVERYTHING UP LOL

@Godfrey Gao [] "unlike Minpha" BURRNNNN kyahahaha <3
hey
what do you think of changing the plot completely? I feel like even if Minpha were to set Godfrey free, the plot would still stagnate
we need to come up with something where a character like godfrey can blossom and I don't think devoted dad and former slave who just wants to live in peace is the right answerr

@Minpha ()We cant go much further if he's locked in a cage, I think we would have to have him set free, lol. Godfrey tends to hold true to his promises, unlike Minpha. Perhaps there would be resentment, of course, but not murder. His priorities would be elsewhere. However, what would said conditions be, I wonder.

@Godfrey Gao [ maybe that plot can also make him more interesting e w e ]

@Godfrey Gao [ do you want minpha to set godfrey free? I feel like with a few more sessions he could even convince minpha to enter a more flexible arrangement with him; of course, we would have to find a way to keep godfrey from murdering minpha e w e ]

@Minpha It could have entirely set him off, but atlas, the man was far to weak to through his food tray across the room or even to pick up the knife and jab it through Minphas forehead. What pissed him off the most was that he was weak for it. Everything the twisted man next to him said was genuine and understandable, but even if it was, the doctor didn't want to be the one to pay for his insecurity. Godfrey chewed softly looking down at the meal. A life in this basement would be miserable. No , no seeing his daughter. The more time spent here, the more he plotted to kill himself, again and again. "Even if I left, you'd know where I am. Why does it matter if I go..." He looks at the other for a moment. "I dislike what you've done, but I don't necessarily dislike you. I just... I want my daughter, my life. I deserve my life, dont I? I'm a good man." He continued to voice his opinion, the numbness in his knee now somewhat going away. There was no way he could let it go any longer, after finishing this food, he'd have to give it a good look at. "Just... think about it a little more. If you were to let me go, we could reach an agreement. A better agreement perhaps..." He could make it to where maybe he spends the weekends here or that he visits once a week to stay with Minpha and still live his life with his daughter, working.

@Godfrey Gao "What do I want...?" Minpha faltered at his question, lashes fluttering in what seemed a show of genuine innocence. He just wanted Godfrey to like him, to not leave him. Did it sound like a joke? It wasn't. One could spin sob-stories about how Minpha's life had made him entirely insensitive to human interaction and this was the reason for his illogical approach, but the truth was... this was the easiest way to go about it. Not the liking part, of course, but the not leaving him part. He had spent the worst part of his life together with Godfrey, that meant something to him. He had a strong attachment to the man and with that came an equally strong fear of being left. Minpha knew it was pathetic, but, well, he accepted his pathetic sides. "I want you.", he answered simply. "I want you to stay, but my initial approach was flawed. Alas now that I have ignited your dislike of me, I cannot let you go without risking my safety." He shrugged. "I made a mistake, now you have to pay for it."

@Minpha An awful flavor filled his mouth even as he became close to eating. For some reason, knowing his body was literally weak from starvation wasn't enough to make him eat even the most delicious of meals. After all, the doctor was merely a puppet. The gnawing in his stomach was no match for the true hunger he possessed: freedom. Who knew that simply being able to walk to work in the morning was a blessing. The tiny things, the thing Godfrey thought were such an inconvenience, were slowly becoming the things he missed the most. As he sat there, next to his kidnapper, the doctor stared at the plate. It felt too pathetic to eat it now. "What exactly do you want from me?" Maybe there was an end goal, maybe there was something the pink haired was searching for. Of Godfrey could supply such a thing, maybe he would let him go. Before all of this, it was he who helped the smaller break free from his chains after all, surely the other hadn't forgotten such a noble risk. Certainly the man owed him a gratitude of service. His hand slowly stabbed into the warm green food on his plate as he thought.

@Godfrey Gao "Aaaw~ How sweet", he cooed, eyes narrowing. Pure sugar dripping from his painted lips, laced with unmistakable sarcasm. "Family love.", he spat as if those two words left an unpleasant aftertaste on his tongue. His lips curled away from his teeth in disgust. He couldn't help but compare the compassion Godfrey felt for his child with his own family and the conclusion, although nothing new, left a bitter sensation in the pit of his stomach. He couldn't help it. He was jealous. Minpha had half the mind to do something to the girl just because, but changed his mind. Her day hadn't come yet. "Hm? Untie you?" His gaze wandered down Godfrey's long body to his knee which was an absolute mess. "Oh shush, you aren't going to die from that.", he laughed and brought his hand up to the man's face, brushing his knuckles against the unkempt stubbles on his jaw. He quite liked him unkempt like this, it made him look as miserly as he was supposed to. "However, you are right doctor. You shall be fed." With a signal of his hand the man brought in a large portion of food, fairly well balanced with plenty of vegetables and meat. No carbohydrates, however, Minpha was going to drain Godfrey of all his muscle. Minpha busied himself with his shackles and helped him sit up. "Here you go~ Enjoy", he said with a smile, looking as sane as Minpha could possibly get as he handed him the tray of food. There was a knife and fork on the platter, but the Japanese wasn't worried.

@Godfrey Gao [] i'll reply soon~

@Minpha The way the male before him put it so simple made him shutter. On one hand all Godfrey could really do was lie there, injured and frustrated. "I'll do whatever you want me to... just refrain, err... keep your pals from putting their filthy mitts on my daughter." In all honesty, Minpha appalled him. "You'll need to untie me so that I can fix the wound in my leg, Minpha. I'm already malnourished, blood loss won't do me any good." He paused, trying to talk himself out of this situation altogether. "Killing your surgeon wouldn't do you any good either." Of course, he wasn't going to try anything for now. His limbs were too weak and too damaged to even think about doing something like that. YaFang was his entire life and if all he had to do was comply, he would... he had no choice.

@Minpha ()Replying

@Godfrey Gao "What- touch her?!" Minpha recoiled in disgust and spat on the floor. "What touch- I'm not my brother." Seeing as the man was clearly going through some form of inner turmoil, Minpha decided to just lay down beside him and watch him struggle. A smile appeared on his face, the sight was amusing. It reminded him of a bug squirming, despite death being completely inevitable. After the man was done whimpering pointless threats, Minpha poked him in his side playfully. "Now, now, I wouldn't hurt such a sweet thing. Unless you misbehave, of course." 'Or he feels like it...', the Japanese's guards thought to themselves quietly. "And by the way-- what torture?" Minpha huffed as if completely offended and glared at Godfrey. However, it wasn't a crazed glare that forewarned some great act of violence. "And I'm not keeping her to myself either. She's not THAT interesting. I have her entertaining my men... some of them ARE like my brother, quite the lolicons...", he grinned slyly. His small, fragile hand brushed up the man's side, teasingly.

@Minpha Very few things on this godforsaken planet brought him joy, but having his daughter there with him seemed to make everything all the more meaningful. The money, the recognition, he didn't care about any of it if he had no one to share it with. But to hear that his precious little girls was in the ruthless hands of the worst human being, no, the worst monster on this planet, it certainly ignited a fire within him. How dare Minpha tell him such a thing? Did he honestly think that Godfrey wouldn't have this kind of reaction towards that? The doctor shifted a bit uncomfortably, ignoring the returning sting in his knee as he tried to break from the confines of his chains. "You leave Yafang alone! You had no right to touch her!" He spat trying to get away from the other a best as he could, but what use was it? The chains had him stuck to the bed and even without the chains, he was being held in some kind of prison cell. There was no where to run to and as weak as he'd become due to starvation, he could hardly even fight for himself, let alone think straight. All he'd been fighting for was to see her again, now what was there to fight for? Minpha no doubt put his dirty little mitts all over her innocent mind. If anything, the smuck was going to sell her into the market he so much supported. "I-I don't understand you..." His voice was much softer now, much weaker. "How could you torture a little girls father and keep her to yourself?" He wanted to cover his face. "God, if you ing hurt her..."

@Godfrey Gao [] ooooh he could have thrown a real bomb!

@Minpha ()A literal bomb or a figurative bomb?

@Godfrey Gao Alright. Fair enough. The castrating hadn't actually been performed by the doctor. If it had there wouldn't have been so much scarring. In fact, Godfrey had been the one to perform damage control, because obviously.. Minpha's late master was not exactly a trained surgeon and he had been a little on the drunk side. However, Minpha would believe what Minpha wanted to believe. He'd always been a bit nuts, but being sold by his own brother to fat dude, humiliated and brutalized for years certainly didn't make him any saner. Well, anyways, Minpha wasn't weak. He had risen all the way to the top, from private pet to boss of it all. He knew Godfrey had played a part in that and he was grateful, even fond of the man. He found his presence comforting and he felt he shared a bond with him, who had been owned by the same man. Minpha stirred when Godfrey mentioned there was someone who needed him, tilting his head up to peer at him with what seemed to be empathy. He pursed his lips in silence and cuddled up to the other again. A few seconds of silence passed before he spoke up once more. "You mean your daughter?", he asked with an eery calm. "Don't worry~" Minpha ran the knife across the man's collarbone. "I'm taking care of her. She's such a nice girl, listens so well." He smiled.

@Godfrey Gao [ I'm going to throw a bomb at Godfrey and you just let me know if you want me to repost after, okay? ]

@Minpha His voice was much softer than before, almost cooing the man next to him. Maybe he could coax the crime lord into letting him go somehow.
