Is it cool that I said all that? Is it chill that you're in my head?

Is it cool that I said all that? Is it too soon to do this, yet?

Isn't it, isn't it, isn't? Isn't it?

Isn't it, isn't it, isn't it? Isn' t it... delicate?

He might not truly want to repeat himself. He might not even think it will change anything, but... Dammit, he wants to leave a good impression after his incredibly fast-paced introduction was met with nothing, not even a blink or a singular word. Refusing to give up despite his odds, he is allowed a second chance, and annoyance creeps in. Razzle dazzle? Was he to make a circus act?

"As I said before," he begins just a little faster than he would've wanted, pausing to pace himself. He raises hands, shaking them as if to simulate sparkles, though it doesn't really help that his eyes are so absent, hints of his bother only slightly evident. He takes his time, he goes slower.

"Most people call me Monarch, but my name is Hyles, and I am conducting a social experiment. I would be delighted for you to participate if you are willing." Hyles stops for a bit, hands lowering after he is done with his little spectacle, smiling to himself at the fact that he had at least done slightly better than before.

"Are you... willing? It won't take long – not as long as my second attempt at introducing myself, that's for sure." He lies behind a chuckle, but he maintains the courteous expression before extending a pale hand towards the man yet again. Maybe now, the other would think him worthy of shaking hands with. "Regardless of your answer, I still kindly ask to know your name,... just to sate my curiosity, at least."

@hauntsect asked: allow me to … reintroduce myself . // from this meme.

Well, that's never good, is it? A second attempt. In Mikala's pessimistic world view, take twos are unforgivable. Merely a sign of failure. Still, he can at least simulate the act of playing nice, his curiosity getting to the best of him.

"I'll give you the benefit of the doubt—" A risky but ultimately kind offer on his part, betrayed by his deadpan expression. "Go on, then, reintroduce yourself." Beat. "Throw a little razzle dazzle in there, won't you?"

❛ you want me to shut him up for you? ❜ ( chaotic pair of doctors, yes ??? ) @sanguinesocierie 's Fina || YES, I say!!

Her invitation comes at the exact moment in which his patience is wearing thin. Ungrateful, he thinks to himself, hands crimson in the blood of their little patient that had been thrashing about seconds ago. They wailed, screamed, choked – so, so noisy! He hated it and, it seemed to show with how displeased his expression had turned... Enough for his companion to suggest some aid. He sighs to himself, he should've worn gloves...

Turning back to her, a small nod comes, light hues dimmed with annoyance and a dormant anger. "I'd love that... I am curious to see you in action. It does not seem like he'll make it easy, though... Are we not being considerate? Providing him with only the best of cells. Heroic, some would call them."

His comment is sweet in tone despite the lies it weaves, the anger barred behind a confinement reserved only for the man at their mercy. Cooperative or not, now that he was on their test bed, it was only a matter of time until his fate was sealed. Doomed by the same narrative as all other imbued SOLDIERs. "Do as you please with him."

❛ what are you going to do to me? ❜ @warofthebeasts 's Sephiroth

❥ ❝ The horror of it all. ❞

"Something... very fun." Hyles comments, grin prominent, studying the wonder laying on the test bed – probably such a familiar location for his subject.

"Worry not, you know I am not as... extreme as one Professor Hojo is, yes? I should be your favorite scientist, surely!"

[hauntsect]

His grin remains intact as he listens in. Sure, these two had been plucked from the streets so casually, of course they would not wish to discuss anything with the perpetrator. Despite that, he still grew interested in what they’d say. It wasn’t like he needed them to speak to achieve his goals, but the potential amusement was something he refused to lose.

“Oh, I just wanted to have a regular conversation… I see you are the all-work-and-no-play type, hm?” He directs those words to Silas, who seems much more reticent, defensive even. Maybe, he should be the one he should start with, make the other watch... With these thoughts in his mind, he turns over to Mint, smile gentle in contradiction.

"You'll cooperate, won't you? If I tell you to speak, you will speak for me, right?" He steps close, close, closer towards him, leaning over to be face to face, stare as clearly as possible.

“Tell me, are you scared? What could I do to make you feel more at ease?” Despite his voice seeming genuine, the look in his eyes glowed in a more sinister light than his body language would reveal.

Mint struggled against the binds but it only seemed to make them tighter. "please we'll do anything" he replied desperately. He looked around the extremely clean room in fear, unsure what the man was going to do to them but was willing to do anything to get them out of the situation. He shook his head rapidly when the suggestion to keep them longer than originally had planned was given. Mint began to wonder how the hell they ended up here, they were just walking down a street before he blacked out and woke up here.

Silas could hear the fear in Mint's voice, he tried his best to make it seem like he wasn't afraid but in reality he was. Afraid of what might happen to them and if they'll make it out alive. "what is there to discuss? you had people take us and are now holding us hostage yet you expect us to just discuss things with you?"

He groaned angrily and struggled against his binds when the suggestion was given.

I've mentioned before how Hyles loves to touch, pick and prod others, especially those that pique his interest. The thing is, his hands are scarred from the constant auto-injections he has done to himself all over each one of his fingers. Due to this, when he touches with his bare hands as opposed to with bandages, it doesn't necessarily feel as smooth as it usually would. The sensation is almost like feeling the holes of a fine grater that can't actually shred.

❥ ❝The scene continues with...❞ @savior-of-humanity 's Leon ↩

He jolts, hands raised to his sides, feigning being defenseless and willing to listen. The Monarch gives it a second, though staring back at the anger coming from over Leon’s eyes, his lips raise in a curious smile. Was that genuine hatred towards him or something else?

“Tell me, sir Kennedy, do you not wish for me to care for you? Is it that you like it when I’m rough?” Hands still raised, he takes a few step closer. Seeing as he had his back to the wall, he made sure not to leave much of a distance between them – he refused to let Leon go, if he could help it. There was so much he could discover, so much he wanted to get out of him.

“Would you really be willing to hurt someone that can actually help you if you just cooperate? I am quite decent when it comes to medical procedures, after all.”

"I just need a little help... Very minuscule, I'm sure you'll be able to aid me." Hyles comments to the surgeon in whispers. His voice comes low, gentle as he guides the man's hand on top of his own, patient, as if he weren't hungry to feel him. He holds a scalpel on top of another's skin, waiting to be cut. Hyles's body moves closer to the other, as if it were protocol to be so close, using the excuse of precision for it. He glances back at @ruindgod with a discreet smile. "Guide my hand, please? They say you are incredibly precise and I need all the precision I can get."

❛ you don’t know when to give up, do you? ❜ , @knot-ee 's Horangi

And here he thought he wasn't being as insistent, right now... Had it been five minutes or an hour of him trying to convince Horangi to keep giving him a semblance of attention?

It didn't matter... The point was, that the attention remained, that's all he wanted. A smile comes, as it usually does, he stares with it – like a perfect doll on the corner of a room.

"Indeed! They say it's one of my best traits!" Or was it the opposite? He didn't recall, letting himself fall to the mercy and wonder of words slipping right out of another, only for him... Wasn't it grand to have words directed at oneself? To Hyles, it was nothing short of marvelous, just like right now. His hands lift up, he reaches over for the hidden face, his cold touch divided by the other's balaclava... Unfortunate.

"So, will you not give me some more of your time? We don't even have to go to my lab.... We could eat some really cold desserts, instead!"

❥ ❝The call, answered.❞ for @savior-of-humanity ‘s Ethan Winters ↩

“You’re finally awake, Mr. Winters! I have been dying to meet you in person, to watch you awaken before my very eyes!” The voice denotes excitement even though his expression is so clear, so neutral – having a serene smile. Despite that, there is a glint in his eyes full of interest, excitement? He steps closer at the man he has seated and chained up.

“How did you wake up? How do you feel? Tell me every single detail.”
