Shopping Black

My name is Silva Branwen, and currently, I am in prison. I haven't committed any crimes, well, none that anyone knows about, so my innocence is assured, but the reason I am here is simple. I am breaking into prison to grab its worse prisoners to experiment on to find a treatment plan for Summer Rose and Wulf Terra. Rather than risk the lives of the Silver-Eyed Warriors by poking and prodding their Grimm-ified bodies, I figure I could inflict the Grimm-ing process on the prisoners to understand better how the silver eyes affect the warrior's bodies and the process itself since Salem didn't record every detail on the process as it was just an interesting experiment to her.

Currently, I am going through Atlas's prison first because it's the only max-level security prison on Remnant, known as the Ice Block, and even the other kingdoms hand over their most dangerous criminals to Atlas for safekeeping. Fortunately, Atlas' security system in their prison is mostly automated, so their network is my playground, and I am waltzing right in with no one being the wiser. The Ice Block keeps its worse prisoners on its lowest level, while the special VIP cells, where the rich and influential go to hide from the public's eye when they get caught red-handed, are at the very top.

While I felt tempted to recreate the Red Auction Incident by removing those tumors, I focused on my main goal to get experimental subjects that don't bother my conscience when they die horribly from my future experiments. Cannibals, Murders that kill for thrills or money, and Rapists all fall under the " I won't ever give a f*ck about them living and dying" category will make good test subjects, and my conscience will hardly be bothered by them dying at my paws. I already have some holding cells with their names on them at my lab in Anima.

I gave Raven the heads up about my human-faunus experiments and told her it was to research certain types of Magic I learned from Ozma and Salem's memories. I want to surprise her by showing her Summer after I turn the Sliver-Eyed Warrior back to normal. I know the former bandit chief feels guilty for leaving Summer to die despite being slightly aware of her circumstances with her Kindred Link Semblance before the witch broke the connection, which made Raven assume the worse. I went through the list of prisoners on my Scroll to find the most dangerous ones with their Aura unlocked.

Three cannibals, seven murderers, and nine rapists are what I found and sent to my holding cells at my lab in my home at Anima. I continued to look over the list to see if there were any others I wanted to take to be my guinea pigs, and I found someone interesting. Opening the doors of the cell through my Scroll, I saw a white wolf faunus girl with wolf ears and pure white hair like the Schnee family and pale blue irises that almost blended with the whites of her eyes. She had a strait jacket on with a muzzle over her mouth.

Her pale, almost translucent skin with scars over her face matched her hair and eyes as she acknowledged my presence with a joyful tone.

" Oh? Is someone here to pick up little old me? Do those pathetic pieces of garbage up top finally have enough nerve to try and "tame" me in their bed?"

She broke out into a mad fit of giggles. This satisfied my curiosity about the person before me, Luna, no last name, a faunus that killed several of Atlas's so-called elites after their hand in her criminal and blood-related family's death in a fit of madness and sorrow. A fairly broken individual that should be in a psych ward instead of prison, but politics always makes things more complicated and someone I intend to help and experiment on. What drew my attention to her was her madness because the Grimm-ication process also has psychological issues that will be more troublesome to deal with than the physical problems, so I need to learn how to mend minds as well.

I would honestly feel a bit guilty taking patients from the psych ward since they can't be considered entirely responsible for their choices, as they could have literal brain damage or chemical imbalances in their brains. Still, with Luna here, I can get something I couldn't have gotten from a psych ward, an untreated festering mind free from any drugs for treatment. Salem only made sure the two Sliver-Eyed Warriors were alive physically and nothing else since she wanted their minds broken and subservient to her. So I intend to try and treat the white wolf faunus first to help her and get myself more experience before trying to mend Summer's mind.

Luna looked at me and commented.

" Oh? What big soft paws you have, those small d*ck wimps must really love their hand-jobs to have you here to attend to them or, I guess, paw-jobs in your case."

The white wolf girl started giggling again with mad glee, and I opened a portal beneath her to send her to my lab. Now before I get caught up with my experiments, I need to prepare for my date with Winter this weekend.

***

Winter was fussing over what to wear for her first-ever date. When she went to pursue a military career against her father's wishes, she only had so many outfits outside her school uniform and pajamas. Despite getting an allowance from her mother nowadays, she hadn't felt the need to go shopping outside the essentials until she realized it was too late to get anything new to wear for her date since her date was only an hour away. The ice queen felt embarrassed that she had never thought of going clothes shopping until she realized she didn't have anything date-worthy.

Aside from a couple of different pairs of pants and some shirts, Winter did not have anything else for casual wear. The ice queen tried every single combination several times and felt nothing but dissatisfaction and embarrassment. She wanted nothing more than to find a hole to hide in and stay there. Unfortunately, for Winter, Sliva decided to show up early via a dark portal. The snow leopard saw the ice queen blushing as she hid her clothes behind her and said.

" Silva! You're early!"

" I'm just checking up on you to see if you are still up for the date."

"I... uh, don't have anything to wear."

Winter admitted as her shoulders sagged and looked down as she figured it would probably be best to be honest with her date. Silva shrugged as he didn't mind and suggested.

" How about we add clothes shopping to the itinerary for today? I would love to see you out of your uniform in more ways than one."

" I suppose..."

" Good, let's head to Vale."

" Vale?!"

The ice queen exclaimed in surprise as she was dragged through the portal in her Atlas student uniform and found that her surroundings had drastically changed. Seeing Vale in person, she muttered.

" I knew you said distance didn't mean anything to you but don't you think going to a whole another kingdom is excessive?"

" I just wanted our first date to be special."

" This is definitely something..."

The snow leopard faunus chuckled and then said.

" Let's get you something nice to wear first."

Silva dragged Winter to a clothing store that most of the girls that live with him in Vale go to and had the ice queen pick out some outfits along with the ones he picked out. The snow leopard faunus enjoyed the show his date showed him. Winter tried on some cocktail dresses, skirts, leggings, shorts, crop tops, tube tops, tank tops, and a couple of different jackets to match them along with various other clothing as well. The ice queen walked out of the store in a blue-gray strapless party dress and blue ankle-strapped stilettos and her hair down while Silva sent the rest of the clothes he bought her to her room.

Silva grinned as he complimented Winter.

" You look beautiful, Winter."

" Thank you, Silva, but are you sure you want to pay for all those clothes? I mean, I got a lot."

" It's fine; I am flush with cash, so no worries, but if it really bothers you, we can come to an arrangement for another time."

The snow leopard faunus whispers the last part in the ice queen's ear in a husky tone. Winter blushed at the not-so-subtle meaning, and Silva said to relax his date.

" Don't worry; there is no rush, Winter. We can take things as slowly as you want. In the meantime, how about we grab a nice dinner, then call it a day?"

" Do you have anywhere in particular in mind?"

The snow leopard faunus showed the ice queen the tastes and sights of Vale.
