On Dealing with Barbarians @ 07:31 pm
nextgen_baddie:
Two days after Rose Logan's kidnapping, Jushiro Harada watches the young woman through the bars of her cell in the sub-basement beneath his Tokyo home. She'd been in sorry shape upon her arrival, with more bullet holes in her than he'd directed Foxx to use. If Rose had died, Harada would have had to reconfigure his plan to draw out the man called Wolverine, and possible go after one of his sons. The idea still appeals to him, but only if he finds that he must kill Rose Logan.
And if he must kill Rose Logan, she will suffer first.
The doctors spent hours removing the bullets without any sort of pain medication, at Harada's direction. Every bullet was eventually removed, including the carbonadium, allowing her to heal and regain some of her senses. Even in her battered state, she'd still managed to maim two more of his guards. It was then that they chose to use the "Madripoor Cocktail" he'd concocted, mixing opium with liquid Carbonadium and forcibly injecting it into her system. Since then, Rose was most incoherent, though she managed a lucid moment or two as her body tried to fight off the poisoning.
And every time, the name "Joey" spilled from her lips.
Today, Jushiro stands outside of Rose's cell, simply looking down upon her with disdain.
"Rose-san, I trust your...accomodations are to your liking?" he asks in English. He's not sure the barbarian can speak Japanese. He's not even sure she can /read/.
