Preparations were ever needed, but this next step was especially necessary. A jail was an integral part to maintaining order in any country, large or small, and it seemed once upon a time, the Hollowed Grounds did have such a place. It was in serious disrepair now. The outer shell was fine but inside...well it wasnt so pretty. The iron bars of the cells were rusty, and the locks all broken. In a cellar, which would be a good interrogation room, was infested with flinthoppers. Overall, it needed real work. "Remi. I want you to repair these cells, and reinforce the bars and walls so they cannot be escaped from." she instructed, having made no reference to the incidents that occurred last time he helped her. "Edrei, come with me." she said, leading her down a flight of stairs to the cellar. Flinthoppers were everywhere. "Get rid of the bugs. Then set this up for interrogations. I trust you know what will be needed." she said before leaving - purposefully smooshing a few of the pests as she did - to supervise Remi and assist him as needed.

I'll stay here with you until this dream is gone
Remi had been more or less grabbed by the Launcelenyns. Not so much with force, by with sheer determination of their collective wills. Though the alchemist tried to remember what it was Ronin had said, that he was stronger than Zariah, decades of subservience to people precisely like the ex-baroness was hard to ignore. And there was always the promise of helping Ianto...Regardless of what had happened with Ronin (what was happening with Ronin), the alchemist would always care a great deal about the fox. And he had promised. Swallowing, Remi set about his task. Though his sight was slowly coming back in shades of grey and slivers of illumination, for the most part, the world was still fairly dark around him. "Can you who me where, specifically?" He asked, having heard Zariah re-enter (the sound of her heels clicking on the ground was all-too well known to him now). As she did so, Remi breathed reinforced life back into the bars. Crumbled walls were repaired, transmutation making it all too easy to simply move around the structure so that it was sturdy once more.

Edrei Launceleyn You know I talk too much. Come put your lips on mine and shut me up "On it." Edy answered with a succinct nod. Turning to look at the assembled bugs that had stopped to eye her warily, their flint-lined legs beginning to sing out a reedy and heat-filled melody, the younger Launceleyn grinned. "You boys can grind your legs together all you want. Mine is still bigger." She cackled, hands suddenly outstretched as a wall of fire shot forward completely obliterating the bugs. It singed and scalded parts of the room as well, but that was fine as far as Edy was concerned. Sanitary even. "Bobi, you're on carcass duty." Edy called over her shoulder. The bobcat pounced into the room, happy enough to destroy the burned husks of the bugs and trot outside with them. the Merciless

Working as he was, slightly hunched and concentrating, it was all too easy for the shorter woman to place her chin against him, causing Remi to flinch noticeably beneath her. It wasn't that the alchemist was evasive when it came to being touched, but rather that Zariah's was...almost inhuman feeling. Or at least he thought it would be, but instead, her voice was sweet sounding almost. "But I did make you that ink.." Remi replied, sounding unsure. "You did not say not to mention it. And..I am not sure what you mean. I said that I did not know about your..ahh, promotion? When I saw you last." As her hands feathered down his arms, the alchemist shivered nervously beneath her touch. "Y-yes, of course." Remi said, reaching out a hand to touch the locks that melded and reformed beneath his fingers into something stronger. With a finger that trembled slightly, keys appeared that would fit perfectly within.

Whereas Edy had...well. Just herself. If ever there was a time she missed having Loren around, it was now. Hell, even Neron would have been helpful. Crossing her arms, Edy glanced around the room giving it a quick once over. It wasn't anything like the offices they had back in Northaven, nor even the most basic rooms in Northwind, but she'd make it work. First, Edy cleared all the irrelevant shit into a corner. The starker the better, as far as she was concerned. Leaving just two chairs and the table, Edy grabbed a barrel and set it in the corner. This was going to be the fun part. Using all the magic at her disposal to burn and disintegrate things, Edy collapsed bits of metal, leaving the tips sharp, welded together other riffraf into horrifying clamp-shapes, and then finally made what looked like a gag. All this she simply shoved into the barrel. What was it for? How did it work? Was it deadly? Hopefully those were the thoughts of whatever poor sap sat across from the interrogation table. It didn't matter that most of Edy's 'creations' likely wouldn't ever be used. The point was simply to let the imaginations of those within this room run wild thinking that they were. the Merciless

"I did not think I needed permission to speak about my own life." Remi retorted with a slight frown. "When Ronin asked, why would I not tell him the truth?" As Zariah left him, the sound of metal (dirty, clunky, problematic) rang brightly in his ears. The clacking of the mage's heels was nearly covered up, but Remi's ears recovered the sound amidst the metal and it chilled him to his bones. As Z deposited the manacles at his feet, he took a hasty step backwards, pinning himself against the wall and shuddering in a surprised breath...only to feel the air coming back at him. Swallowing, his pale eyes wide as he tried desperately to see through the blackness, he could feel Zariah before him. "Ronin." He whispered in a shaky tone. "I told Ronin."

Come put your lips on mine and shut me up Feeling the predatory pulse from Bobi into the very core of her, Edy paused what she was doing to poke her head around one of the corners. There she saw the no-longer-kitten low to the ground, with the tail-less ass high in the air. Her body wiggled gently as it calibrated itself perfectly, and then, when the feline judged the time to be right...she pounced. Only... The bloatbeetle was about as large as Bobi was at this point, and though the little predator dug her claws and teeth against the shell, the beetle seemed not to care at all. Gnawing and snarling, Bobi eventually looked up at Edy with an annoyed scowl, hissing under her breath. Grinning, Edy cackled and nodded. "Good point, we should probably wash the floors." So saying, Edy created a stream of fire behind the poor beetle to force it into the the Merciless

Remi felt as if he was back in Northaven. There were games afoot that he didn't understand, power structures that went over his head, and once again he was somehow in the middle of it, creating things for purposes he didn't agree with. Indeed Remi did drop. His heart raced and the blood in his ears began to sing as sparks floated before his eyes, even while blinded. "Ahh—" He wheezed, teeth grinding against one another as he winced at the sudden pain ebbing through his knees from where they'd struck the ground. Defensively his other hand wrapped around his wounded wrist as he pulled it to his chest. Swallowing and nodding shakily, Remi reached out to feel the assorted metal now before him. Gingerly, he touched the links and connections to try and understand what needed to be repaired and where, finding that he suddenly didn't have the voice to ask Zariah. Eventually though he did find the breaks and weakened places, bleeding magic into the metal to repair it. Leaning back against the wall, his blind eyes wild and his nostrils slightly flared like a wounded and frightened creature, Remi blinked. "Is...is that all?"

A little banging metal was hardly cause for alarm. Instead, the younger Launceleyn stalked through the hallways using magic to burn away the cobwebs in the corners. Every now and then she'd stop and shake the bars, slam a door and then ram her shoulder into it, and anything else she could reasonably expect a prisoner to try and do while within. Satisfied that at least as a primary step the jail would hold, Edy collected the carcass of the bloatbeetle and tossed it outside with a dramatic clap of her hands to rid herself of bits of the dead bug. the Merciless

Remi's nostrils flared releasing a stream of shaky anxiety as her fingers worked against his curls. He listened, hope spilling across his face. Zariah had been kind to him. Cruel yes, but kind as well. She had found him in the woods, she had offered to help. She'd been there during his testing of the barrier and she'd been a key reason that the barrier had fallen. "Just...tell me." Remi murmured weakly. "If it is to help others...to make this place more safe, of course I will help you." He added, brows knit together in soft and gentle confusion. However as she mentioned that she still needed him, Remi's blood ran cold and he felt his stomach clench. "And...Ianto?" He asked tentatively, glossing over her thoughts on how best to achieve a stable society. He felt more like a commoner now than he ever had, and such things were far, far above him. With a silent nod, Remi reached for the chains but found his one wrist still sore. Picking them up with his magic instead, he trailed behind Zariah's clicking heels as if she were leading him by echolocation.
