[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

She continued to smile while he first started speaking. But when he mentioned being stabbed in the back, she winced slightly. She knew that feeling but she wasn't going to start on why/how she did. It'd just be another unjoyful thing to listen to for him and a bad memory that actually coincided with the other for her. Neither of them needed that so she didn't speak of it. She glanced at him for a second and saw him gazing at the sky too and almost falling asleep. She didn't speak, just chuckled softly and looked back at the sky. The nighttime sky could always make her feel better. The moon and the stars were like comforting companions to her. She loved the night.

Theo spoke with fear, he could not tell these strangers the truth, "I....I wish to defend my planet...it seemed...right..." He stared at the ground as he spoke, not wishing to look Remmith in the eye...

[Marquis Lythis]

rem was no sucker. He grabbed his head and forced Theo to face him. "You're lying." One of his webbed spines arced a electricity threateningly. Rem narrowed his eyes and said in a frightening tone, "Try again."

[KatTheCatCalledTasha]

Theo was terrified. Did he know? He couldn't, wouldn't, tell Remmith. "I speak nothing but the truth. Believe me." He tried to look into Remmith's eye this time, but failed and continued to look away. He could never find out what he was. The worst part was, Theo had never done anything wrong. He had just found something he wasn't meant to...


***

I was now suspicous of Theo. Remmith knew Theo wasn't telling the truth - and I trusted his instincts. Standing behind Remmith, I smilled menacingly at Theo and bared my fangs, just so that he was familiar with his consequences of lying.

[Marquis Lythis]

Rem shook his head, frowning. his thinner pair of arms crossed for a second, then one reached out. They sizzled with electricity. He kept it a bare inch from Theo's skin. "And now I'm curious. I will get the answer, even if I have to turn you into a cooking hunk of meat in the process. Choose wisely and tell the truth, and you won't find out just how much pain I can deal."

[Dr. Strange]

"Very sweet of you. now sleep."
"I HATE---" She stopped, crumpling to the ground in a useless heap.
"Jeez you're a pain."

[KatTheCatCalledTasha]

Theo held closed his mouth, showing that he refused to talk. Remmith wouldn't really hurt him, would he? It was probably just a threat, right? Even if he would, it would be nothing compared to what they would do. And then there was Buiolupo. And Theo knew that she would hurt him.

[Dr. Strange]

"Now where was I?" He looks around and smiles. "Ahh, now for the 'Fyroh'."

[Marquis Lythis]

letting go with his primary arms, he grabbed Theo's wrists, and stretched out his arms, so he couldn't thrash around as he enveloped Theo's lower half with his massive tail, squeezing them tightly and painfully, his spiral hold with each loop pulling into opposite directions. There was muffled popping noises as theo's legs were dislocated from the hip. Then Rem stuck his charged hand into Theo's gut, sending blinding pain through his body. He stopped after a second, waiting for Theo to regain his senses, and the white hot pain from his legs became blinding as Rem pulled on the dislocated legs again, and they popped back into place. Rem asked calmly again, "Now. The truth. I can do this for days, and I will if necessary, nonstop until you speak the truth. So many joints to pull apart, so many bones to break, and so very many times I can shock you. How long can you last? one day? Two? I can do this for a week solid before I so much as need to sleep or eat."

[KatTheCatCalledTasha]

Theo collapsed in pain...it was worse than he could ever imagine...he couldn't keep up with this - he was a coward, and knew it...he couldn't speak with agony. It would get worse if he didn't speak...but it depended on what he preferred....death, or this...

Theo decided to talk. But he didn't neccesarily have to explain it all....maybe he wouldn't be killed by the others...and maybe he would be hurt by Remmith. Still in pain, he struggled to talk, "I...was....a normal...person....who found...something....he wasn't meant....to...."

[Marquis Lythis]

"Congratulations. You just eared a reprieve. Now start explaining, or it will be worse." Rem squeezed Theo's legs just to make a point but at least he had crossed his lower set of arms. "And in the end, if I'm none too pleased with your answer, I do have room in my stomach after the deer I had earlier. I'll consume you while you scream and beg for mercy." Hem's face was unreadable, it looked dead serious. He had never so much as blinked since the interrogation had begun.

[KatTheCatCalledTasha]

Theo was terrified. Now he had seen what Remmith could do, he didn't know what to expect anymore. He just wanted to die right now, no more pain...He didn't know whether, or how to explain.
Buiolupo was looking towards him. Her eyes seemed to have softened, if only very slightly. He knew that she wanted to hurt him...but maybe not...kill him...
"I was a scientist...well....studying to be one..." he paused between gasps of pain from his injurys...they felt like they'd never stop hurting... "I was...watching a more experienced....scientist...he was experimenting with something...he left...he was talking....to someone...."
Theo stopped. He couldn't go on. The pain was too much, and he blacked out, and collapsed.

[Marquis Lythis]

Rem uncurled, slinging the unconscious Theo over his back and said to the other, "Come on, there's water back over there so we can wake him up for the rest." He motioned down the hill the way he had came.

[KatTheCatCalledTasha]

I didn't say anything, but nodded, and followed. I was scared to say anything wrong. I wanted to know about Theo as much as Rem, well, maybe slightly less, but I wouldn't go about killing him for it. Maybe he had a good reason for not speaking, or maybe I was just going soft...I hated the thought of that...

[Marquis Lythis]

Rem led her to the river, and threw Theo carelessly off his back onto it's shore. he reached in the the water with his tail and splashed a lot of water onto the unconscious Theo to wake him up, then pinning him to the ground with his massive bulk. "Wakey. Wakey. Rise and shrine, or whatever you surface dwellers say."
