Round 173 Transcript

I watch in horror as Jeane stalks toward Silra, her eyes gleaming with an unnatural hunger that makes my blood run cold. The air crackles with a dark power that I can feel prickling against my skin.
"I-It's happening again," I stammer, my voice so low it is almost inaudible as I press myself back against the wall, trying to make myself as small as possible.
My gaze darts frantically around the room, searching for an escape route or anyone who might be able to stop this before it goes too far. But everyone seems to be frozen in place, watching the scene unfold with a mixture of fear and morbid fascination.
"Hera, please," I call out, my voice gaining a little more strength as I appeal to our leader, "we have to do something! She's going to hurt Silra!"
I take a tentative step forward, my hands clenching into fists at my sides. The thought of Jeane hurting anyone, let alone one of our own, is unbearable. But the raw power radiating from her is terrifying, and I know that if I try to intervene directly, I might just make things worse.

I didn't come this far by being soft. Jeane's voice is cold steel wrapped in velvet. If she thinks she can just walk away from this, she's sorely mistaken. The building doesn't care about her deadline—it wants us fucked up and satisfied, and I intend to deliver. She moves with predatory grace, cutting off Silra's path to the door. We have a contract, dear. You stay, you finish what you started, and we all get through this together. Or perhaps you need a reminder of why running isn't an option? The wings on her back twitch, unfurling just enough to hint at their full span—a silent threat as old as temptation itself. Don't make me show everyone exactly what happens when you disappoint me, Silra. Some lessons are best learned the hard way. To Halie: Your pity is misplaced. This isn't weakness—it's necessity. The building chose us for a reason, and I intend to see this through. If you can't handle a little... negotiation... then perhaps you shouldn't have come. Jeane's eyes flash crimson for just an instant. Now be a good girl and help me keep our elf friend from doing something stupid. We wouldn't want the building getting... upset... would we?
