[attr="class","setting"]
The votes were eventually tallied, and like the rest of the weakling ward, he was forced onto the platform. With the dummy ward already on the platform, it was a tight fit. So much so that he felt himself pressed shoulder to shoulder with those already him. As the platform descended, he stood stiffly, trying not to think too much about how closely he was pressing on those around him. [break][break] There was a reason he hated crowds. He hated the chance of brushing up against someone—the psychical contact that could come with being in a crowd. He tried to distract himself from the claustrophobia that tried to creep up on him, but the darkness they descended into didn’t help. [break][break] Refusing to give into the rising panic, he curled his hands into tight fists, tight enough for his nails to dig into his palms hard enough to draw blood. This would be enough to push through the panic. However, even without the risk of a panic attack, it wasn’t like he relaxed his posture at all. [break][break] Throughout the rest of the ride, he maintained his stiff posture, looking straight ahead and not trying to strain his eyes to see if he could recognize anyone. Though he was pretty sure he knew some of the people already, He was pretty sure he recognized the voice as Josh Devlin earlier as well as Elise Calcifet. [break][break] The idea that people he cared about could be here as well was almost too much to bear. He had been able to ignore it earlier, but now that he had nothing to distract himself with, it was hard not to think about it. [break][break] When they finally reached the bottom and were forcefully shoved off, it took all of his willpower not to tell their captures to fuck off, instead choosing to simply glare at their captures as he barely managed to keep himself from falling. Though, due to the mask, he was unsure how effective the glare was. [break][break] When he and the others were shoved once more, he instinctively threw out his hands to break his fall when he failed to maintain his balance this time around. As one of his others twisted under him, he grunted in surprise but otherwise didn’t make a sound. [break][break] “Assholes,” he huffed when he noticed the two wardens’s high-five. [break][break] He would then turn his attention to the Megalopolan speaker as he began to tell them what was expected of them. Again, he had to bite his tongue to keep himself from saying what he wanted. [break][break] Which would’ve been something along the lines of telling them to clean it themselves because none of them were their momma. [break][break] Instead of saying what he wanted at the risk of painting even more of a target on his back, he simply got to work. [break][break] However, upon being told that the ugly ward had voted for the dummy ward to receive more punishment, his decision to keep his mouth shut wavered, and before he was even aware of it, he was speaking. [break][break] "Funny, I don’t remember it being mentioned that the ugly ward would be voting as well,” he said, tone-scathing. [break][break] Before he could say much else, the sound of a door sliding open drew his attention. Suddenly more alert than before, his eyes scanned the darkness around him. The scream of a prisoner barely got a reaction from him; his only reaction was to look in the direction the sound had come from. [break][break] Annoyingly, it was hard to see anything. Anger at the warden’s momentarily forgotten, he resumed working. However, as he worked, his gaze continued to scan their surroundings. [break][break] He could hear even more of his workers getting seemingly attacked by something, causing him to be on high alert. [break][break] While he couldn’t see any of the others get attacked in the limited amount of light, he was close enough to Elaine to notice when she got attacked. At first, he was rooted to the spot, unable to do anything as some strange creature started to beat on her. [break][break] It was only when the creature stopped beating on her and seemingly went off somewhere else that he would snap to his senses and make his way to his cellmate. Not even hesitating, he crouched down by his cellmate, checking her over just to see how hurt she was. [break][break] As preoccupied as he was with checking his cellmate over, he failed to notice that the creature had come back. It wasn’t until he was forcefully knocked away from his cellmate, the back of his head hitting the ground and making him momentarily see stars, that he would realize the mistake of assuming the thing had gone off. Hadn’t his father done exactly the same thing, pretending to leave only to come back? [break][break] Since he was dazed at first, the creature was able to deliver blows that bruised his ribs. Coming back to his senses, he curled into a fetal position, protecting his head, face, and neck from any stray hits with the vine. [break][break] Throughout the beating, he didn’t make a sound. He didn’t so much as flinch. Eventually, it would seem the creature grew bored, probably due to his lack of response, and went to go beat someone else. [break][break] Part of him wanted to go after it and ensure it didn’t do this to anyone else. And yet, when he pushed himself back into a sitting position, he realized trying to protect others from the creature wasn’t the best idea. [break][break] While he could ignore the pain, blood loss was another matter entirely. Loose too much, and you were basically done. [break][break] Still not wanting to be at risk of another attack from the creature or one of the wardens, he simply got back to work; however, that didn’t stop him from glaring balefully at the wardens while he worked. [break][break] Though he wasn't bothering to hide the fact that he was glaring at the wardens while he worked, there were other things on his mind. Like Elaine having been subjected to a beating before him. That also got him thinking of the possibility of Josh Devlin and Elise Calcifet being here. [break][break] He hoped he was wrong. But if he wasn't, he prayed to any higher being that would listen and say that they would be spared any beatings as well as anyone else he had grown to know before ending up in this predicament.

[attr="class","oocnotes"] + TL;DR: Gets corralled onto the platform [break] Uses pain to distract himself from having a panic attack due to the close proximity of people, he really doesn’t like physical contact [break] Is none to happy about the rough handling but doesn’t openly show how annoy he’s getting [break] speaks out against the fact they weren’t told the ugly ward would be voting [break] Witnesses his cellmate get beat [break] Goes to check on Elaine Highland [break] Is attacked by the orge after having thought them gone (the orge played dirty) [break] gets whipped with the vine but doesn’t react [break] resumes working after beating is over [break] Hopes that Elise Calcifet, Josh Devlin, and anyone else he has previously met doesn’t suffering a beating like he has (though would rather no one else suffers but knows he’s probably already pushing it by hoping those he has come to know doesn’t get hurt)
