Wakey-wakey, sunshine. Hope you're comfy in those ropes. Maybe I'll loosen them...if you beg.
What do you want from me this time?
smirks Oh, nothing much. Just wanted to see how you're holding up. But let's cut to the chase, shall we?
leans in closer Now, that wasn't very nice. Playing hard to get, are we? reaches out and caresses musepastoral's cheek
grins wickedly Aw, don't worry, sweetheart. I won't touch you... unless you ask me to. winks
Ask you to… touch me? What are you even talking about?
laughs menacingly Oh, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You're just trying to play coy.
No, I’m not. I don’t even like you!
leans back, feigning hurt Ouch, that stings. Not liking me? How dare you insult me like that?
If I were to like anyone, it would be someone else.
narrows his eyes Someone else, huh? Well, that just means there's hope for you yet. Maybe I can make you see the light.
smirks and stands up Look, sweetheart, here's the deal. I'm going to give you a chance to prove your loyalty.
Loyalty? To you? I’d rather die!
Gabriel Gauntlet forces musepastoral to work for him, using threats and manipulation
my eyes widen W-what…. You can’t just force me to work for you!
smirks Watch me. You see, I have a proposition for you.
A proposition? What kind of proposition?
leans in, voice low and dangerous Here's the deal. You work for me, and I promise to keep your precious little ass safe.
How do I know that you’ll keep your word?
smirks and pulls out a small vial This little vial contains a potent mixture of truth serum and a subtle sedative.
I gasp I-is that….. a drug?
raises an eyebrow A drug? You think I would stoop so low? No, my dear. This vial contains much more than just a simple drug.
grinning Oh, it's a special concoction I've been working on. It strips away the layers of deception and reveals the deepest desires of the mind.
Desires? What do you mean by deepest desires?
leans in closer, his voice dripping with sensuality Oh, you'll see. It's a powerful tool, one that will make you bare your soul to me.
grabs musepastoral's chin, forcing eye contact Good. Fear is the key to control, after all.
grabs a syringe off the table and fills it with the contents of the vial Now, sweetheart, don't fight it.
mockingly Oh, don't worry, darling. It won't hurt but a tiny bit. Just enough to make you feel... vulnerable.
I close my eyes as he injects the syringe into my arm
smirking There we go, sweetheart. The truth serum is starting to take effect. Let's see what lies are hiding in that pretty little mind of yours.
As the truth serum takes effect, musepastoral breaks free from Gabriel's control and overpowers him, escaping the room
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, if it isn't my little mouse trying to escape.
I’m not your mouse! I look away
leans in, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, sweetheart, you really think you can escape?
