Off to the Island

Mar 31, 2004 00:01

"Antoinette! We're leaving! Pack your things!"

"Yes, Miguelito. Where are we going?"

"We're going... off to our desert island. I don't want to see anything mechanical. Horrible things!"

"Yes, Miguelito."

"It tried to kill me!"

"Poor Miguelito!

"I think that I cut myself, escaping from it!" *holds up finger to show a scratch*

Oh, poor ( Read more... )

It was some little while later. Rak looked up toward the highest level of Loveless's mansion, just visible past the tree tops, and tried not to scratch.

She was wearing an approximation of the clothes Antoinette had left the house in - a dove grey dress and a demure travelling jacket. It had broken her heart to have to damage the clothes with tearing and a liberal dousing of butcher-shop blood, even though the end effect was suitably gruesome. Her upswept hairstyle had been grabbed and dragged, dislodging the combs and scattering the curls across her face, where it had been encouraged to stick through the application of more blood.

Her face itself was sporting a growing bruise from where Arusha, for realism's sake, had landed a hefty right cross, and her palms were grazed from the resultant fall. And it itched. But that would have to be lived with.

She glanced over at KITT, waiting quietly and somewhat pensively beside her, and sighed.

"OK, let's go. It's now or never."

*sighs, steeling himself*

I'm ready when you are.

Rak climbed in and settled into the seat.

"Call to him as we approach, like you're calling for help. It's OK to sound frightened or panicked, that'd fit with the situation. Pull up close outside the mansion and pop the door so he can see me."

ki2k March 31 2004, 20:06:58 UTC

Will do. Here goes nothing. Or everything.

*pulls up, revving engine menacingly, taunting Loveless*

::Lies limply in the seat, face turned away from the door::

ki2k March 31 2004, 20:19:29 UTC

*flings open door, dramatically, still revving engine*

giant_among_men March 31 2004, 20:23:56 UTC

What? *shocked* YOU! Look, can't we talk about...

*Loveless notices "Antoinette" in the car. His expression goes from shock to fear to rage and then transforms into pure fury.* Antoinette! What have you done to her? Oh, Antoinette, can you hear me? Are you all right?

ki2k March 31 2004, 20:34:37 UTC

*tentatively, pleading*

Dr. Loveless? I believe I've found someone of yours... I found her like this. She asked me to bring her to you. I may not like this, but I can't break my programming. If someone is hurt, and they need help... well, you can help her, can't you?

giant_among_men March 31 2004, 20:54:20 UTC

*relieved* Oh, it's you, KITT! I thought it was...nevermind who.

*runs towards the car now* Antoinette, my love! What happened to you? *He reaches for her hand, blinded by his concern.* Antoinette, dear-heart, speak to me! Say something! Oh, if that terrible car hurt you, I shall never forgive myself for letting you go out all alone!

ki2k March 31 2004, 21:07:50 UTC

*indignant, trying to further distract Loveless*

Dr. Loveless, I hardly think I deserve the moniker of 'terrible car'! After all, I did bring Antoinette to you!

giant_among_men March 31 2004, 21:16:25 UTC

*looks away from "Antoinette" for a moment* Not you, KITT! I meant the duplicate that I made!

*Loveless returns his attention to Antoinette. He reaches for her face as he speaks.* Oh, dearest what happened to you! Come, we must get you inside! Antoinette!...Antoinette? You're not Antoinette!

Time.

One hand snaked up, grabbing the startled Loveless by the wrist. The other darted, far faster than anything human should have been able to move, seizing the ring about his finger, jerking it off and away.

"Sorry Professor." Rak held the ring away, her free hand changing its grip from his wrist to his throat. For an instant her eyes gleamed coldly through the tangle of hair and blood, then her expression softened.

"Antoinette is perfectly safe and will be back with you soon."

She pushed the diminutive scientist out of the car, and called upon KITT to carry them away.

(OOC: Sorry for delay, work went 'bang' :p )

*drives off as quickly as he can, careful not to hurt Loveless who was sprawled on the ground in an undignified heap*

*reeling*

Rak? What did he mean by 'duplicate'?

[OOC - I think I'm off to bed early. :( Working on a killer headache, and unfortunately have to get up kinda early. Will pick up on it asap tomorrow! :) ]

::Frowns - was too busy concentrating on the exact moment to snatch the ring. Quickly replays the conversation in her head::

He ... said that, didn't he? Gordon was talking about an 'army of KITTs' ... sounds like Loveless completed the first one, and it didn't go well.

ki2k April 1 2004, 15:05:37 UTC

Oh dear...

*distressed*

A duplicate? Of me? I don't like the sound of that at ALL...

Do we have any idea where this duplicate happens to be at the moment?

timeshadow April 1 2004, 20:17:29 UTC

::Thinking::

I'm ... not sure. From the way Professor Loveless was talking, the duplicate isn't under his control, at least not anymore. Can you do a quick scan of the area, see if you can find any trails?
