[LOCKED] control; my baby's lost control
Who: Mercury Black, Armin Alert, Sansa Stark
When: 3/19
Where: Nova City, some clothing store
What: Mercury makes his move into the big old game of crime
Warnings: Violence, probably language, kidnapping, maybe torture?
[ Time's up.
He tried, he really did. He tried to play nice, he tried to keep himself incognito, he tried to maintain his cover, he tried to keep himself entertained by inconspicuous means, but it's not enough. He's had an itch ever since he got here, an itch to absolutely let loose and show his real colors, but he couldn't. Not with so many Beacon brats around. Not with Cinder looking over his shoulder.
But Cinder was gone, and he's found allies who wouldn't mind the chaos he wants to bring about. He was out of excuses.
Time's up.
It hadn't been hard to pick his target, not after the Schnee Company tryouts. Not when he knew he wanted to stick it to Weiss just to see the look on her face, so he knew it had to be personal. One of her employees, someone likable. Someone who didn't deserve it, to cause the outrage and despair Eas desired.
Sorry, Armin. Time's up.
He waited until the little blond was out in public but away from anyone who could help him - clothes shopping with some girl, it seemed. A girlfriend, maybe? So much the better! Mercury enters the store with his hands in his pockets, making his way towards Armin with slow, deliberate steps. ]
Hey, buddy! Weiss sent me to get you, we've got a situation. Everyone's meeting at her place ASAP, I'll explain on the way.
[ If the lie works? Super. If not?
Even better.
Time's up. ]

just the two of us; we can make it if we try
[ He walks at Armin's side, hands in his pockets as if he didn't have a care in the world. It's not like his hands and arms are the real threat when dealing with him, anyway.
He shrugs, shooting the blond a crooked grin. ]
Buuuut I've got a big mouth, so what the hell, right? Can't tell you what the plan is yet, but you were the lucky candidate because you're just so darn likeable.
[ A pause, grin fading slightly into a somewhat less humored expression. ]
You've got no reason to trust me on this, but for the record? The plan doesn't involve killing you. Play along, don't get stupid, and you can go back to buying lingerie or whatever with your lady friend before long.
Hang a right, here.
[ That... Sure is an alleyway that leads out of sight of the main road. ]
no subject
Thankfully, it works. Like he'd hoped, the man likes to hear himself talk, and Armin had also picked up the subtle hints that caution is not his strongest suit.
...not that he likes what he hears. The only reason to kidnap somebody likable is if you want to make a lot of people suffer. And the line about not killing him isn't very convincing, either, especially in light of the other things he's heard - but he's good at acting, and he lets just the slightest hint of relief into his face before quickly covering it up. Enough that Mercury had seen it, hopefully. Any more and it would have been obvious he's acting, if Mercury knows him at all.
Playing along is the best chance he has of his captor making a mistake, as long as he doesn't overdo it and give himself away.]
Wh-where are we going?
[He hesitates just for a second before turning into the ally, letting a little more of his fear into his voice. If he can keep Mercury talking...]
