[TW] The Apartment Complex

@Ace Felix’s eyes continued to travel across the room as the man worked. Every little detail he could take in and put to memory. He wanted the job. He didn’t know what would happen if he didn’t get it. He was trying to put up a nonchalant appearance, as though he couldn’t care less about it. But internally, he was in turmoil. He got told so often that none of these feelings were real - but he couldn’t just disregard them. They bundled in his chest, weighing him down like someone was forcing him to carry a car up a hill. Soohyun created /him/, so he should be the obvious choice, shouldn’t he? How dare anybody else try to take his place. But of course, the android knew the man well, even better with the searching into the background that he’d done. Hopefully, he would be chosen for the job. If not, he didn’t see his former master again. That was fine. If that was the way it went, it was fine. He was doing well for himself in the gang. His fingers clenched into fists before he took an unneeded breath and settled down again, bovine eyes softening.

Felix hadn’t felt pain for a little while, and he briefly wondered if that would make him even more replaceable. He’d had the receptors removed when he’d come to the city, in an attempt to heal the memory of his master’s anger. It hadn’t worked; but it meant he didn’t feel other painful things. It was the wrong type of pain, what he’d tried to fix. But, Soohyun didn’t need to know that. Or figure it out, until the first outburst at least. Would the man put them back if Felix asked for them again? Despite what they’d been an attempt to fix - they made him more human, less mindless machine.

Feeling the fingers move up to grip his hair, the android’s eyes widened, and his jaw immediately clamped shut, sensing his disruption had been what caused the anger. Felix didn’t wince, just looked at the man rather stunned by the sudden anger. He looked at the man’s face a moment, blinking at him like a scared animal, until it loosened and he sighed in relief. “I’m sorry, I’ll try not to talk so much,” He said, though the little pats were welcome. He liked having his hair touched, when it wasn’t rough. It made him shiver again, in a more pleasant way this time. “I have the money to pay.”

The android’s brows furrowed again, and he looked at Soohyun’s face for a while longer. “Well.. I said you don’t have to, if you don’t want to. I’m sure you have better projects than me to work on these days, anyway.” Felix hid his scrunched up facial expression by glancing away to the wall again, as though deciding it was time for a change of subject. “Three days is alright. Is there anything I should do to preserve it in the meantime?”

@★ Lee Felix (h) There was no other candidate. No one worthy anyway. Everyone who had applied was either incompetent or too high maintenance. They required too much attention, attention that could be given to his creations. Their hourly rate was also ridiculous. They should just be grateful they have a once in a life time chance to work with him,  a man who was gifted with God's hands. It didn't matter anyway. He knew they would be a pain in the in the long run.  There was no doubt about it. Felix would be perfect for the job. He didn't complain often,  didn't ask for much,  and he could work on him whenever he wanted. Felix was the only one who could handle his outburst. And he didn't feel too bad about it. Felix wasn't human. He was sure that Felix couldn't have felt real pain. Still. The sight of his possession in pain or agony tore him a little. But it didn't overshadow enjoyment in inflicting pain on others. To be able to make or break something made him feel powerful. And that was enough for Ace to disregard the androids feelings many times. Not that those feelings were actually real.

When Felix spoke again, his attention was ripped away from his trance. He could feel a prick in his skin, his working hands stopping to clench into tight fist. He hated when his thoughts were interrupted. Despised it. He hand unconsciously went to Felix's hair,  roughly tugging it back to look at him. For a moment, his pupils constricted in anger. But when he'd realize what he was doing,  he immediately let go, eyes widening in shock. "I.. Apologize. I don't know what came over me." He mumbled,  running his fingers through Felix's hair and giving it a couple comforting pats.

"I'll be able to get the parts in a few days. If you come back 3 days from today,  I can replace it for you. But it won't be cheap. You are, after all, made from the finest materials. " He paused.  "You make a good point. And your offer is tempting. But what makes you think i want to work on you again? I have plenty of others to work on." There was Hyunjin. But Hyunjin was a cyborg. Part human. It was hard to not accidentally kill the fellow with his unethical methods.

@Ace Disappointment filled the android’s gaze briefly when he heard his appearance and declaration that he wanted the job was not enough to actually seize the position. However, Felix still shuffled over when he was shoved, staying as he’d been positioned while the man took a look into the source of his frequent battery loss. He distracted himself from the prickly spreading across his skin by focusing on the wall in front of him, and whenever he spoke to him, the busy man behind him.

The android rested his elbow on his knee, and his chin in his hand as he let Soohyun pry into the cause of the problem. The hands on him made him prickle and shiver, but other than the subtle things brought in through his code, he was still, patient and calm. He’d been on the table before, and was just rather grateful for the fact that he wasn’t truly alive. Having someone pushing their fingers into your lower back sounded a lot more painful when you weren’t a moment. The mention of the other candidate made the android a breath in. Felix tried not to be a jealous person. What did he have to be jealous about? It would just be silly, getting angry over something like this. He wasn’t /jealous/ about someone being the man’s assistant. He was just disappointed he wasn’t the first choice.

“Thank you. Will you be able to get the parts in, or will I have to go to someone else to replace it?” He asked, pausing once again as he tried to come up with something more persuasive. “Well, you’d want an assistant with experience, and I already know your workplace and you. I’d be able to work long hours once my battery is fixed, and I’m adaptable - I can take in a lot more information than a human and quite a few other android’s.” Felix sighed, wondering if his insistence would be enough. Perhaps it was his wavering vision when Soohyun started messing with the wires that let him to a soft call of. “…and, I’ll let you work on me again, if you’d like to. I know you said you had other people to improve though, so you don’t have to.”

@★ Lee Felix (h) Soohyun stayed silent as the android rambled on about his battery. Every since some of Soohyun's enhancements, the android's ability to gather information and make conclusions had advanced profusely. That... and its ability to talk and talk for days on end. Though Soohyun preferred silence as he liked to sit in his own thoughts, he didn't mind Felix's ramblings. In the moment anyway. He found the android's deep voice to be calming to him.

"I never said I'd offer you the job." He said curtly, setting down the items needed to fix Felix's battery. He maneuvered around the clutter and stood to the side of the table the android was sitting on and gave a small shove to its shoulder to angle the android’s back to him. Although having Felix around would surely satisfy his cravings, he knew that it would bring a storm of darkness with it. He could already feel it brewing at the pit of his stomach as he lifted Felix's shirt, revealing the milky skin of its lower back where the battery resided.

"It's been a while..." he mumbled almost breathlessly, brushing the tips of his fingers delicately over the artificial skin. It looked so real. . He was good.

The genius dipped his fingers deeper into the droids skin, opening the battery compartment. He hummed, noticing there was a fried wire as well as  a small leakage. No wonder the droid had been experiencing the fast drainage. His eyes flickered over to the droids face briefly before pulling out his chair to sit down to eye level with the matter at hand. "You're going to have to replace your battery. Such a perfect creation cannot have such horrible battery conditions.. unfortunately, I do not have the parts readily available. I'm going to have to patch it up for now.." it pained him to have to admit that he couldn't finish the job. He was,  after all, a God. What kind of God didn't have extra batteries laying around? "As for the job. I might have another candidate. You'll have to give me a better reason to hire you instead. "

@Ace With the hollow emptiness seen in the man before him’s eyes, Felix was starting to expect the door slammed shut in his face, told to off after coming crawling back again. It wasn’t where the android had expected to be either - to decide to do such an outlandish thing as run back to the man who he’d once been relieved to escape. He wondered if it was a response from his code, or one of the real feelings he so strongly believe he’d developed along the way.

Allowing himself to be guided through prodding towards the table, Felix clambered on top willingly, his fingers gripping the edge of it. The apartment wasn’t the fancy lab he’d been expecting. But by some of the mess, he could immediately tell that this was a good work place. “I think it’s probably the water, how much it’s been raining recently. But I don’t know how the water got into the battery in the first place. Apart from it running down quickly, I don’t think I’ve noticed any other problems with myself recently.” He called out towards the kitchen as he swung his feet. “But it’s run down a lot quicker than usual. I have to charge myself in the day on worse days, but I used to be able to go a couple days without needing anything.” His gaze dropped from the walls of the room to the table to sat on, feeling along the smooth top before focusing back on the doorway Ace had left through.

When Soohyun returned, Felix smiled awkwardly to hide his nerves. He’d seen that glint in the man’s eyes before. He knew he was going to be fixed, but didn’t know what else would happen. “Soohyun - does this mean I have the job? Do I have to come back for another interview at some point?” He piped up again softly. He wasn’t sure if the man was angry or excited to have his creation on the workbench again. While Felix relearned what his master was like, it was a process of trial, seeing what he could and couldn’t do before it was time to pull back and apologise for upsetting Soohyun.

@★ Lee Felix (h) Felix was the last thing he thought he'd see when he opened the door to his apartment complex. Though he was surprised, his expression remained placid. The only part of his body that moved were his eyes, which were downcasted onto the small android in front of him. It took a moment for him to process what the android had said to him. He almost scoffed at the Felix's words. After running away from him, from home, the machine wanted to come back? Maybe there was something seriously wrong with the droid's coding for it to be stupidly persistent enough to come knocking on his door again. But it wasn't like Soohyun was complaining. His mind was clouded with nothing but Felix the past few days and it made him feel restless. Seeing the android now forced him to acknowledge the tug at his and the relief he felt seeing it standing innocently in front of him.

"....Your battery isn't at its optimal condition?" He questioned quietly before giving a curt nod, stepping out of the way for Felix to come in. He felt a little prick. /his/ perfection wasn't perfect.  Soohyun waited until the android got in before letting the heavy door slam shut behind him and gently nudging the android in the direction of his work space. His apartment was definitely not a lab, at least not the big one he used to own back then. But the small table pushed against the corner of the room proved to be enough for now.  "My creation shouldn't be limited by such trivial matters that could be easily fixed. Sit down on the table and I'll have a look." He mumbled, washing his hands at the kitchen sink.

Soohyun couldn't deny the jittery feeling he got when he had the chance to touch his android once more. He almost cried out in joy at the opportunity. Almost. But he wasn't going to let Felix know. He clutched the sides of the sink tightly in order to contain his excitement, not wanting to ruin such a rare opportunity that somehow landed in his lap. The scrawny male's eyes flickered over to the waiting android,  his orbs glowing dangerously at the sight.

@Ace After running away, Felix had been convinced he could be his own man. He didn’t see himself as artificial or inhuman. He was an android. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t feel things, did it? He had his own thought processes, his own realm of consciousness, and it never occurred to the robot that all of that could possibly be fake. But he didn’t want to think about that. As far as he was concerned, he was a real person. Though, even with all of this, he couldn’t deny what his code told him. He’d missed his master, for all of the negatives. The man had still made him what he was - had it been selfish of Felix to run away? No, he told himself. He’d been scared at the time, and if he hadn’t, he’d never have grown from it.

When the door opened, Felix looked up at the man, folding his hands behind his back quietly as he wondered how to explain he was there for the job offer. “I, um. Was thinking. Since we saw each other the other day, I saw you were looking for help around the place.” His eyes didn’t leave the man’s emotionless face, though it made Felix shift his weight uncomfortably between his feet. “I don’t need to be paid much, but I can do whatever you need me to.”

Felix wrung out his hands behind his back and then shoved them in his pockets. “I can also stay for large portions of the day, if you would like me to. Though - if you want me for the job, I might need a day or two to go and have my battery checked out. It’s been running down quickly recently so I was planning on finding someone to look at it,” He explained. He wanted to make some good points, as though this was a job interview rather than the android turning up on his former master’s doorstep and demanding a job.

@★ Lee Felix (h) A couple years had passed after Felix had run away. The only thing he fixated on. There were countless nights where he would lose sleep and forget to eat due because he was indulging in his obsession to make Felix perfect. Perfection. He was obsessed with it. And Felix was it. Despite Felix getting him into trouble with the government, Soohyun had never hated the android. He could never. Would never. The only thing that broke the engineer was when the android suddenly disappeared. He had done so much for Felix, cared so much, and lost so much sleep to make him such a perfect being... and.. the android had the audacity to leave him dry. A part of him knew that it wasn't the androids fault, but it was only a machine. And the machine's feelings weren't real. It just thought it was because Soohyun was THAT good at what he did.

Soohyun's feelings were real though.  And after Felix had run away, he tried stripping away the love he had for the android and tried replacing him with many others. It. Not him.  He cursed under his breath and threw his note pad across the room in frustration. 

After that recent run in with Felix the other day,  Soohyun was having trouble focusing on anything else. He could feel the heat in his body and heart rushing back again. The tingly feeling he got in his hands and skin whenever his  obsession was almost at his peak. Along with the feelings came the dark pit of anger at the droid for leaving after he ruined Soohyun's life. He hadn't felt this way for years. As he was about to flip his table over in attempt to sooth his brewing anger, he heard a rather aggressive knock at the door. Setting the table down gently,  he released a calm sigh, an emotionless expression replacing his twisted one. After collecting himself, he opened the door and looked around before his gaze fell to the shorter being in front of him. "What do you want?"

@Ace A heavy sigh left the android as he stood at the door. He’d had a few long, chargeless nights after his short lived reunion with his former master. Every time Felix settled down, he’d think about the scathing tongue, so emotionless but so aggressive and cold at the same time. He’d wanted to know more about what had happened to the man. And fortunately, Felix had the means to find out at his disposal. It was just hard work. Long work. The android had almost passed out from lack of charge once or twice. Living alone, in the case that it happened, who knew how long it could’ve been before he was helped if he ran himself down to zero. But it was worth it - after almost a week, he knew a little more about Soohyun, or Ace, as he went by now.

So much had changed since Felix had stormed off that night after getting the man arrested. In the droid’s defence, he’d thought he was helping, by trying to hack something to bring his master information. He’d thought he’d receive praise, something back then he’d been so dearly dependent on for approval.

The young man hesitated for a long time beside the door. Did he really want to knock? Demand to speak more with his creator, deny it all he might? He’d seen online, the ad requesting a capable assistant. And in the back of his mind, Felix knew there was nobody more capable for the job than him. A frustrated huff left the android, and he swung his foot forward, kicking the door with a rattle that resonated throughout the hallway, making himself jump, before he awkwardly knocked on the door. “Ace?”

@♞ Lee Sejin Mio looked up at Sejin. "..." She had a piercing stare and sharp eyes and she looked at Sejin warily now, scanning his expression as if to check how he was feeling. Her grip on him loosened and her head turned to look at the man, watching him until he left the apartment and the door closed behind him. She didn't try to throw anything at him this time. Were they really friends? Hm. Mio had calmed down now. Her gaze softened and she smiled happily and sighed in relief, her arms wrapped around Sejin in a hug. Coke. She knew that one too. She'd figured that one out from Sejin. She nodded, rocking lightly on one foot in excitement.

@Mikami Mio Sejin didn't really know how he was supposed to deal with the kid, at this point he felt completely helpless. He was aware that she was a special needs person and that was the reason he was really afraid to interact with her, in case he did or said something wrong that could trigger her. However she seemed like she enjoyed his company every once in a while and he didn't really have the heart to tell her to go either so they got to know each other slowly and he could guess quite easier what was going on in her mind now. "I was...not feeling well and he was helping me. But..uhm..thanks for your concern still." He tried his best to explain to her, biting onto his bottom lip nervously as he waited for the client to leave and waved politely at him. "See you later, Sangha." The man said as he left and Sejin was just thankful that she happened to interrupt him while he was with a reasonable client because if it were someone else they would both be in trouble right now.
"So...want me to get you something? A coke?"

@♞ Lee Sejin Mio understood very little of what people said. Most words, other than the one's her teachers had managed to drill into her memory with extensive repetition and visual aids, meant nothing to her. Now as well, she did not understand what the two were saying, but the man on top of Sejin sounded angry and that just made Mio increase her efforts. She couldn't let Sejin be bullied like this. Mio was still shrieking and trying to hit and punch the man when Sejin placed a hand over her eyes and lead her out. Friend. She knew that word. They were friends? Really? Friends didn't hurt each other though... Mio looked at him when he asked her a question. She could tell from the way his voice went up at the end and the way he was looking at her, that he had asked her something. She just didn't know what. Her gaze started to wander as she started to come up with guesses. She stared at the door to the bedroom, glaring and shook her head as she held onto Sejin protectively.

@Mikami Mio It was pretty rare for Sejin to bring any customers to his apartment but he really needed some extra cash every once in a while, plus the man was kind of his type so it wasn't really a hard task that required a 5 star hotel room with a spa to relax afterwards. One would think that due to the nature of his job, he was enjoying getting laid with various customers but the truth was that only a few of them were actually able to get Sejin to moan for them. This one was more than just average good so perhaps Sejin was a bit louder than it was appropriate but his mind was completely shut down and he didn't really care if anyone heard him at that time. At least that was what he thought until he heard a loud smack and suddenly his customer was laying on top of him, grunting in pain rather than pleasure. "What the-" Sejin stopped himself from cursing as soon as his eyes landed on the familiar figure of the autistic girl that happened to be his neighbor. Apparently she had misread the whole situation and now he was left to deal with a pissed, customer and a special needs individual. He just wasn't drunk enough for this. "You have a girlfriend?!"
"What, no she's a kid! Look she's a neighbor and she has autism. I'll text you for another time ok?" He said to the man who was still laying on top of him as Sejin slid on the side and used a pillow to cover himself before grabbing his track pants from the side and putting them on. "No, Mio stop. He's a friend!" He told the girl, placing his palm to cover her eyes as he lead her to the living room so his client could get dressed. "So...you know my passcode?" Sejin asked, rubbing the back of his throat awkwardly, hoping the girl registered nothing of what she witnessed earlier.

@♞ Lee Sejin "I need to go now, okay?" Mio's mother held her by her shoulders as she spoke, looking deep into her eyes. "You threw such a fuss to come here, so we're here, but I didn't have time to call Sejin in advance... so you need to behave, okay?" Mio's mother looked at her daughter with concern, forcefully holding her still even as Mio tried to twist away to get to the door. It didn't appear that Mio was listening, not that her mother had expected her to. The exhausted-looking woman sighed, fatigue written all over her face and posture. The mother sighed and released Mio, who immediately jogged to the elevator. She watched her press the button and waited to make sure she got off on the right floor, before turning and heading to the supermarket to buy some alcohol. With Mio momentarily off her hands, she was going to relax... In the meantime, Mio was very excited. She was grinning, fidgeting, pulsing her foot against the floor as she stood in front of Sejin's door. Mio had seen him put in the passcode once, and managed to remember it. No one knew that though, not even Sejin. Mio did not realise he might not like her barging into his place. Beep beep beep. The door unlocked and Mio stormed in, shoes still on and door wide open in her enthusiasm. Her steps were light and hardly audible and Mio went straight for the bedroom, knocking the door open. Then, she froze. Her heart rate skyrocketed with a rapid influx of anxiety and adrenaline. "Ah!" Mio stomped against the ground, crying out in distress at the sight before her. Then, she grabbed the next best thing, a chair and brought it crashing down onto the man on top of Sejin. The chair broke upon impact, but Mio kept hitting him with the part she was still holding, eyes squeezed shut and stomping her foot as she screamed at the top of her lungs. Sejin was being attacked. He was being hurt. The remains of the chair were quickly discarded and she started to try to push the man away, despite really, really, really not wanting to touch him.

@★ Ghost Yohdi nodded at Ghosts words, smiling slightly. “Of course, I don’t forget easily you know. I remember the plan, and it will go smoothly. No suspicions or anything.” he chuckled, shaking his head slightly, briefly looking in the mirror and messing his hair up a little, forcing some tears to start escaping his eyes. “I’ll see you when I’m rich.” he smirked, looking to Ghost and watching the man, waiting for him to leave and giving him a few minutes to get out of the way and look less suspicious. Then, one last time, he checked what the security footage would display. Just a normal day where his parents came home, started cooking, and forgot about it. Then he got to work, lighting the fire and using what little time he had to make it more convincing.

@★ Kondo Yohdi Ghost nodded. "It's time." He made sure the windows were closed and he turned the oven on, leaving some food inside it for authenticity. He opened the front door, peering outside of it. It seemed as though no one had come up to this floor yet so he came back inside and looked at Yohdi. "Remember what I told you, once you set the fire a human will have precisely three minutes before they begin to lose consciousness. You need to get out in that time and make it convincing. The hospital the firefighters will summon will take you straight to one of our contacts. They will say you lost consciousness and discover that the cause of the fire was the oven. Then you'll be released from hospital. If you do this properly you won't be suspected and you'll get your inheritance. Understand?" Ghost opened the front door again. "This is where we say goodbye for now. I'll be in touch."

@★ Ghost Yohdi frowned slightly as the man pushed him off of his father, though soon smelt the gas in the air, chuckling slightly. Feeling into the pocket of his trousers, Yohdi produced the lighter, holding it up to show the man. “Of course I do. It’s time isn’t it? Is there anyone there?” he questioned, ready to burn the whole place to the ground.

@★ Kondo Yohdi (tw: graphic torture)

Ghost watched as the mother took her last breath and closed her eyelids, standing up again to watch Yohdi go to work on his father. His needs were so juvenile and the way he went around torturing others was sloppy. Ghost was bored watching and walked back over to his gun case, pulling out some gasoline. He sprinkled it around the apartment, over the mother and pushed Yohdi off the father before covering him in it. "We don't have the time left for every toenail. Did you bring your lighter like I requested?" Ghost strapped his gun case onto his back again, walking over to the front door to look through it.

@★ Ghost TW - Graphic Torture

Yohdi frowned slightly as Ghost confirmed that she would make too much noise. It was a shame, but it couldn't help. He'd have to make sure the next time was somewhere more isolated... More soundproof. "No, it doesn't matter. If she's dead there's no point taking the teeth." he sighed, before moving back to his father, nodding at Ghost's words as he sat on his fathers leg to hold it still pulled off his fathers shoe and sock, and jammed the knife in between his toe nail and the nail bed, prying the nail off and giggling slightly as the man tried to move his leg to get him off, a muffled scream coming as Yohdi moved onto the next nail.

@★ Kondo Yohdi (tw: graphic torture)

There were still traces of humanity left within Ghost, though they were more like echoing footsteps in a desolate hallway than strong palpable feelings. He looked over the man's mother, rubbing her shoulder. "She'll make too much noise if you do that. Plus when she dies she will release gas that you don't want to smell. Wait for her body to get cold then we can extract the teeth." He started timing how her pulse began to slow down, she was already unconscious so Ghost held Yohdi back. "Focus on your father for the time being. He's still alive. The fire alarm has been called off so people will be returning soon. Have your fun so we can start the real fire and leave. If you start to get arrogant you'll get caught."

@★ Ghost TW - Graphic torture

Yohdi hummed hearing Ghosts words and he frowned slightly. “So quickly? What a shame…” he said before shrugging. “I mean, dying was the main aim, seeing how long it could take was fun, but she was always weak.” she chuckled. “If she’s dying will she scream much? I want to pull her teeth out.” he grinned, glancing around and opening a drawer, reaching into it to find a pair of pliers, ready to act should Ghost say that it would be okay, his knife still in hand.

@★ Kondo Yohdi (tw: graphic torture)

Ghost studied the mother, her complexion was paling and she was losing a lot of blood. She would die soon. He knelt down in front of her and checked her pulse. "Your mother will be dying from blood loss within the next five minutes." He explained as he watched Yohdi slice the guy like a piece of fruit. "We don't have much longer left. She doesn't have a very high pain tolerance." She stopped struggling so much but instead started to have a seizure, pulling violently against the rope. Ghost held her head in place and waited for it to pass before he pushed one of her eyelids back to look at her eye. He wiped her face over with the cloth he had used on the father, the cold water started to wake her up again.

@★ Ghost TW - Graphic torture

As the man asked to switch sides, Yohdi stood up with a grin, keeping the knife gripped tightly in his hand, a chuckle escaping him as he squatted in front of the man, holding the knife up to his nose. "Mmm blood..." he hummed before pulling the knife away, beginning to slice the sides of his torso. He briefly looked to what Ghost was doing and grinned widely. "I'd never have thought to use salt... interesting!" he grinned, turning his attention to the cuts on his fathers side, using his knife to try to start pealing the skin away.

@★ Kondo Yohdi "Hm. Fair." Ghost nodded, the android had a point. He continued to waterboard the father. He enjoyed the fear, part of the reason why he accepted this mission that was way below his skill level. He stopped only to watch Yohdi cut away his mother's trousers. He smirked and poured the water for longer, forcing the father to go into shock before he stopped completely. "Switch sides with me." Ghost gestured at the father and stepped around the tied bodies to stand next to Yohdi. He put the bucket down and pulled out a salt shaker he had taken from the kitchen, pouring it into the woman's cuts. She cried and squirmed. Ghost blinked, no emotion on his face.

@★ Ghost “I don’t want it too be quick, at all… If they weren’t secure enough they’d stand a chance of getting a second wind and escaping, then they’d have to be dealt with quickly, and I don’t want that.” Yohdi rationalised, looking at the man as she stabbed their hands together, a gleeful laugh escaping the Android at the act. He loved the sounds of the muffled screams and cries that came, and the look of betrayal on his mothers face. They’d clearly never expected Yohdi to turn out this way, but all their coding and pushing had given his own sort of sentience…
“Interesting…” Yohdi murmured at Ghosts explanation chuckling softly as he watched him leave the room briefly. “Let’s test that, shall we?” he spoke to the woman, humming as she made a few small cuts on the inner thigh, first just to get the fabric of her trousers out of the way, then continuing with a series of long but shallow cuts in the area, only stopping to listen to the spluttering and gurgling and coughing that came from his father as Ghost waterboarded him, a grin still in his face.

@★ Kondo Yohdi "Who cares if they're dying?" Ghost helped them thread their fingers together, it was romantic in a way that they would die here together. He slipped another knife out from his belt and shoved it through their held hands, causing both of them to scream against the tape. He left the knife in so they wouldn't bleed out. "In between the thighs is one of the most sensitive spots on a human body and it's one of the most intimate. Lovers touch it, but not everyone can, therefore, it's a place that lacks regular stimulation, so the skin there isn't desensitised to touch. If you cut across the thighs it will feel like your entire body is on fire." Ghost had no problem explaining the nature of the human body, things he had learned from being tortured and giving it. He walked back into the kitchen to fill up a bucket, bringing it back into the living room with a dishcloth over his shoulder. He slipped the cloth over the father's head and poured a splash of the water down onto his face, only waiting a minute before he poured some more down. He chuckled when the man struggled.

@★ Ghost "True, but tying them facing each other would have been considerably less secure." he hummed, finally ripping the scalp from the woman, looking at the tears streaking her face. "Turns out knife skills are harder to learn from just reading about." he hummed, watching the man wake his father up and grinning, then tilting his head at the mans next words. "Why would that be the most painful spot?" he quizzed briefly.

@★ Kondo Yohdi "Personally, I would leave them so she can watch her husband suffer. You made a mistake by tying them away from each other." Ghost coldly replied, unfazed by the scalping of the man's mother. "I would have tied them facing each other so they could stare into each other's eyes whilst the monster they created devoured them." He took a few steps closer to admire the awful handiwork. "Your knife skills could use some work, however it's more fun for me to watch you struggle." He slipped his boot over the father's neck, applying pressure to wake him up too which he did with more screams. Afterwards Ghost knelt down beside them and watched as the couple struggled to hold hands. "The most painful spot is between the thighs."
