[RPG] [BT] Phoebe ~ Power Play: Broken

[Timothy Collett]

Phoebe sits in her cage, her face blank, as she has since she was returned
here after her second torture session. She is completely in shock that such
a thing can have happened to her: she does not understand why, and barely
even comprehends that her bid for power has gone so badly awry. For hours,
she just sits like this: she does not speak, she does not eat, she does not
sleep, she barely moves. At last, a tear trickles down her cheek, then
another. She looks around a little, and seems to realize where she is. She
bows her head and closes her eyes, then lifts it again, face a mask of
grief, tears streaming freely down her cheeks—but now filled with iron
determination. Phoebe kneels—carefully, for her legs are very stiff from
being so long in the same position, and far from healed from what the
Daimons did to her—holds her body very straight, places her hands over her
heart, and begins to pray, softly murmuring words that she has known since
childhood, but not spoken for a very long time.
