| Warning. Contains Mature Themes and Violence. | Las Pegasus: 8 years ago --------------------------------------------------- "W-Wait! P-Please, I beg! I beg! Show mercy! I just need more time! I swear I'll pay every ounce that I owe! Every ounce of it with no future issue! P-Please! J-Just don't proceed with what you are planning to do, Mr. Deimos! Release me from this chair and I-I'll be in your deb..." *Smack* *Crunch* "Ahhh...ah....!!!...." "Uhh..ahhh!..." "You plan to repay ya debt with more debt, Mr. Parks? I wouldn't be advisin that as an option of interest. You are already in massive amounts of loans, Mr. Parks. Loans that you haven't paid. Loans you've spent at my Casinos. My personal money. If you'd have paid sooner? Well...I wouldn't have had to break your right back hoof now would I?" "Ugh...uh...j-just...please...n-no...no more...." "Honestly, Mr. Parker, ya should be happy. Just a few bruises from my boys here and a broken hoof? That'll heal. Ya should be thanking me that we are currently reminding ya of your situation and not simply exposing of ya. It wasn't all bad was it? I'm sure ya enjoyed your date with my Velvet here. She has a talent for luring in my debts, like ya. She's quite a Loan Shark as they'd say. Hm...still for you of all people to accept that bait. She isn't exactly an adult yet. Only two more years out. You are quite the filth ain't ya. Especially with a family already." "I-It wasn't like that....I-I wasn't trying to get anywher.." "Shh....Silence now, Mr. Parks. Whatcha do in your private time is not my business. Not at all. My business is making sure I'm paid what I'm owed. You borrow money from the Deimos family? We expect payment. And....well we'll be getting payment........You two. Open up his right wing. One of you grab that cleaver off the counter. Try not to make a mess. We gotta clean this kitchen after we done." "D-Done? W-Wait...what are...ah! No-No! W-What are you! No don't!  H-Hey! Hey! J-Just more time! P-Please!"

"Ah thank you for the cleaver. Now then. Velvet, my doll? This will be a good learnin experience. Chasing down loans is one thing, girlie. However, now we gotta send a message. Messages to show that we don't take kindly to being fooled with. Here. Take the cleaver." "..........." "Don't just stare at it, Doll. Take it." "......" "Good. Okay, now. Kindly remove Mr. Parks exposed wing. No need to be precise. Just hack it off or saw it off. Chop it perhaps. However you find most effective to get it off. That wing will be a good payment." "NOOO! PLEASE! I-I BEG YOU!" "Cover his mouth, you two." "JUST GIVE ME MORE TIM-mphhh!! MMMPHH!" "Better. Now then, Velvet? We don't have all day here. Chop off that wing, please." "Mhmm!" "......." "Velvet, please do it." "......" "....Now please...." "......." "Do it." "...." "Listen to me." "......" "...Listen." "...." "DO IT YOU BRAT!!!!" *CHOP* ------------------------------------- How long have I been washing my hooves? Seconds? Minutes? Ten minutes maybe?.....I just can't seem to stop. It won't go away. All the blood is still there. It won't wash off. It can't be washed off. Why won't it wash off. Why. Why. Why! Why!!! "The blood isn't gone...." I spoke at a hushed whisper, my mind screaming from the inside. This wouldn't do for service. There is no blood on my hooves. There hasn't been since my shower last night. However....I still see it. Why won't it just go away? "Is everything alright, Miss Velvet?" Mrs. Jade seemed to be asking if I was okay. Was I okay? Was service going terribly to a point where even regulars of the Casino noticed? Am I off? ...I must get back to work.  "I'm okay, Mrs. Jade. Would you like your usual?" "Are you sure child? You don't seem yourself." She seems concerned still. Concerned customers are bad for business.  "It has just been a long week, Mrs. Jade. No need to stress over me. Now then, would you like the usual? Maybe something stronger? You normally don't appear up at the bar unless you are going for on a bad streak."  "...If you say so child. Do try to take better care of yourself. Your unique features must be taken into care. Flawless pink coat. Silky velvet mane. Not to mention those adorable heart iris' in your eyes. Makes it look like you're always in love. *giggle*  Yes, I'll take the usual. Just not too strong. My luck is actually good today running the slots. Might try myself at the blackjack or roulette. With my husband out of the city? I can be free once more. Freedom is to be celebrated." "......" Freedom "Agreed yes. Of course, Mrs. Jade. Let me get that drink." Freedom. What a delusional dream to hang too.
