[Video, no name attached oops, cw: body horror]

[wonderland_vogue]

[(Playing in the background the whole time.) Well, there's a moment of some kind of color flitting around before the screen is stabilizing on what seems to be a large stage with a large and colorful raffle wheel with a few different symbols on it with two large lights focused on it. On the walls are various color changing light panels and what appears to be some poor man lying on his back in front of the wheel, he's breathing but it seems shallow.

A small giggle is heard from behind the camera before it moves to inspect the man, who is very clearly missing an eye though there's oddly nothing to show it was pulled out, just an empty spot of slightly indented skin there as if he was born without that ever forming. There's also an arm and a foot missing with the same odd features as well.

Once again there's a sound, though it's a voice. Very clearly modulated via a machine or magic to switch pitches between low and high, though clearly feminine if nothing else.]

Goodness! It's been a while since I've had anyone play along like this, it's been rather fun! Don't you think, darling?~

[The man merely groans and utters something under his breath which can't be anything good, a black smoke coming from his lips and heading for the ceiling for those that can see magic or supernatural things.]

Oh come on now, I don't think it was that bad. You didn't even spin a skull, that's better than what I've seen! And you've come so far now, if you keep going for another round or two you'll be free and I know that's what you want.

[But the camera is moving again and is floating given it's moving up and down just barely to show the person who's been spoken, or... less person and more of a skeleton with red eyes (or something to that type) that is clad in a clearly worn and frayed black cloak that is pulled over the head.]

Don't you think so, friends? Mind you this one here, weeeeell, he's not a good person. And just throwing them in jail wouldn't do anyone any good but here he'll be of use and learn his lesson, hopefully! Which, speaking of, I wonder how many of you will try and find me to free this "poor idiot man". [Those are absolutely her using air quotes] from such a thing? I'm doing nothing illegal here, darlings, I have all my paperwork and promises in order, after all!

I wonder what he'll roll next~ [With that she's switching the video feed off with another giggle.]

(Predictably Lydia is in Wonderland which is in the Everglade forest. Feel free to try and find her or contact me if you want your character to try since she has a few traps in the forest and on the building to actually find it, after all.)

[ There's an internal struggling happening within Cordelia the entire time she watches the display. The lawful side reminds her that she doesn't know all the laws of this realm yet, and this person claimed they had the paperwork and legal standing to do as they pleased with the criminal.

The good side says "that's a fucking skeleton" and it's clearly getting some kind of enjoyment out of tormenting the man. Which side will win in the end is up for debate, but there's a heavy leaning on the latter. ]

What are his crimes?

[Video]

[wonderland_vogue]

[Ah yes, the normal morality debate. It's what she wanted and what she figured would happen, she's perched on the edge of the stage now, just letting the man recover for a bit behind her. Whatever, not important.]

Theft, kidnapping, assault, the normal things you see of thugs like this. I'm not going to kill him or anything, that's not my thing, but if he happens to die in one of the challenges against his demons then that's hardly my fault.

[divinefavor]

With how you are treating him currently, I suspect he will pray for death soon if he has not already begun to.

[ The list of charges is enough that the internal morality scales have started to weigh slightly to the other side. Serious crimes, but god dammit she can't get over the whole skeleton bit. ]

And who approved such a punishment?

[ The sight's not shocking as such, just... something he had thought he left behind in another galaxy. There's a lot been happening in the past weeks which he thought he'd left behind. His own response is in kind, his face composed, too composed for the passionately principled man most know him as. ]

You're not very good at showing your gratitude, are you? I doubt the Guardian that gave you permission wished for it to be publicized.

Oh come on, everyone should be glad that I'm ridding us of these pathetic petty criminals. Keeps the jail from being overrun with people and sets a valuable lesson for those that might survive.

It's not as if I'm murdering them, after all.

Re: private video

[captain_by_the_book]

Is that so?

[ Mere polite interest now. ]

That's a widespread opinion these days.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Yaaaaaaaaay. Wheel of torture!

[Although he has to remember to have Ikki kid-lock Leanne's comm and do the same for Ash's.]

[Video]

[wonderland_vogue]

[MARCO NO.]

Wheel of Sacrifice is the technical name, but I guess torture works just as well. But I'm letting this one rest just a tiiiiiny bit, can't break them too early, right?~

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Aye, no fun in that.

[Video]

[singinghuntress]

[Someone getting tortured? Well, that definitely has Rip's attention as she watches curiously. The wounds are strange, but...then again, she wasn't expecting a skeleton with red eyes either?]

Vat method are you uzing to get vounds like zhat? Zhe seem to be too clean to be zhat painful.

[Video]

[wonderland_vogue]

[Oh, oh she adores these sorts of question and is just clapping her hands together in the most gleeful of manners.]

A little bit of magic, mostly~ You learn quite a lot in your time when you've been alive as long as I have. And they may not seem like they hurt, but phantom limb pains are still there and it still feels like it was removed in the most painful of manners as possible!

... I may have more experience with that than I should.

Re: [Video]

[singinghuntress]

[Something about that made Rip snicker as she leaned back in her seat.]

Magic? I've alvays preferred zhe traditional vays of removing limbs personally~. It leaves quite zhe impression und zhe blood spray can be quite artistic. Of courze, you run zhe risk of zhem bleeding out...

[Don't worry, she may know a little more about this than she should...]

But, I haf no doubt zhat phantom limb pain vould be an exquisite kind of torture done right.

[immortalrose]

Bravo! I think I rather like this performance!

[What fitting end for such scum! Now Augustine approves of this kind of justice. He's eagerly watching this with a hint of glee in his smirk.]

This ought to learn them.

video

[wonderland_vogue]

[How hilarious after how he acted the last time she made a post, but she's not about to point that out. Staying anonymous, after all.

But she's shrugging a little and stretching, how that's even possible as just a skeleton is anyone's guess at this point.]

Oh this is nothing compared to what I've done before. This is probably one of the quickest rounds to losing limbs since I first started all of this mess, they're usually more... lucky... than this.

Re: video

[immortalrose]

[As if hypocritics do not exist. Augustine has his reasons for wanting these criminals to suffer and that might deal with the fact this would mostly deter criminals from using Everglade as a base for operations. Otherwise, this is an inelegant display of brutality but he doesn't expect anything else from this lich.]

Perhaps Lady Luck has abandoned him due to his misdeeds. Either that or Karma.

[That gleeful expression changes a little.]

At least it's over.

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth pinches the bridge of his nose. He doesn't get people... any people. They make no sense. Nothing about this video makes sense.]

He might be a criminal but what you're doing is also illegal and if you do not stop and bring him into the police station you will have to face the consequences. [The police should be handling petty crimes.]

Nothing gives a single person the right to be judge, jury and in this case torturer.

[Seth can also teleport so this is more of a warning in his mind.]

Video

[wonderland_vogue]

[Oh, Seth, she's just giggling at that, resting her chin in her bony palm.]

How about no? Come try and find me if you want to, if you're so adamant on this. I certainly don't just leave things out in the open or without protection, after all.

I was given this lovely little contestant here so how about you butt out and let me handle this. He won't die, anyway, I don't kill people here, at least not on purpose.

Video -> Action

[unbridledtiger]

If that's your final answer.

[The screen glows golden and then black. Seth's teleportation isn't perfect but he arrives in the same room as the tortured man and the creature that's taken upon himself to broadcast something this sick.]

That was your warning.

[There is a moments pause before a golden light twists in Seth's palms, reaching out to wrap around Lydia.

[not here - but he's coming]

[spidertwerp]

[This is the most horrific thing Peter has ever seen. This is not how you deal with criminals. Criminals are to be turned over to the police, if someone who isn't the police is to be involved at all.

This is horrific. It's torture. And no matter what 'papers' exist? It's a crime.

And anyone who signed off on this, is automatically on his shit list.

The good thing is, he's not beholden to any job either, so the nature permitting something like this sounds like Everglade, and that's where he's going to start.

That person who someone decided is a low-life needs help, and whoever made the video needs to be brought to justice. Vigilante style.

He has no idea who it is or where he's going, but he's fast. It can't take that long to sweep Everglade.

Spider-Man is on his way, grim and determined.]

[Let's go action here then, nerd]

[wonderland_vogue]

[Luckily for him that there's a very weird thing in Everglade's forest, an old building that is painted black and white with some sort of illumination on one part of the walls.

But there's also a large blue almost nine foot tall dinosaur of sorts that's wandering close to the area, seeming to just be chewing on tree leaves and the like. All the more suspicious, probably.]

[heartsrestinpeace]

Define 'good person.'

[Not a lot of emotions are playing over Mira's face right now. She's just watching, trying to figure this out, and flicking through everyone else's reactions to see what kind of expressions they make.]

I didn't know torture was legal.

[captain_by_the_book]

It is not.

[koishi_komeiji]

Koishi was watching attentively, with her head slightly tilted.

"Oh... Does that mean you're not gonna kill him? Because if you did I was gonna ask what you were gonna do with the body. He looks tasty."

Koishi, no...

[unhappy]

I mean as long as you have your paperwork in order.

[ It's hard to tell if she's being sarcastic or legitimately thinks that at this point. Emerald's basically decided shes going to stop caring, and it isn't as though Lydia doesn't need her stuff. Though it seems kind of pointless to her to broadcast it like this- but in Emerald's defense, she's more for taking the barriers down than fueling them. ]

[wonderland_vogue]

[It is rather pointless other than to do what she promised she would to someone else and she always does enjoy having an audience, of course.]

Of course I do~

[Private]

If I end up arrested or whatever for this, do me a favor and pretend you have no idea who I am other than a conversation here and there. No reason for others to be dragged into this, right?
