[This is Arthur. This is Arthur leaning against a closet door, his suit slightly rumpled (in fact, there's a tear in one of his sleeves), his hair out of place. Still, he carries himself like this is PERFECTLY NORMAL. Oh yeah, and he's holding a pool cue. Before he speaks, Arthur smooths his hair back.]To the library staff: sorry. I left a few ( Read more... )

[THUMP THUMP WHAM.]

I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR BALLS UP YOUR ASS.

PSEUDOSPAM paradoxlol September 13 2010, 05:36:45 UTC

[PFFTH.]

If I recall correctly? You already tried that.

PSEUDOSPAM girlenoughforu September 13 2010, 05:39:20 UTC

[PAUSING FOR A SECOND TO CATCH HER BREATH.]

I'll aim this time. [THUD. And this is a HEROIC DEMAND:] Where's D'Amico?

PSEUDOSPAM paradoxlol September 13 2010, 05:42:11 UTC

[FINALLY, SOME TINY PROGRESS-- oh wait she's banging against the door again.]

I don't know any "D'Amico". Who is he?

PSEUDOSPAM girlenoughforu September 13 2010, 05:43:54 UTC

Bullshit. [She throws herself against the door again hard enough to bruise and then stops to actually take in the closet and see if there's anything useful inside. FOCUS. FOCUS, MINDY.] Like anyone doesn't know who he is.

PSEUDOSPAM - LOL MY NET IS GARBAGE, GOOD NIGHT paradoxlol September 13 2010, 05:54:31 UTC

[DRYLY:] Humor me. People here come from different places.

[Pause. Wait.]

You do know where 'here' is, right?

PSEUDOSPAM - LOLLLZ SLEEP WELL. girlenoughforu September 13 2010, 06:00:17 UTC

All I know is you perverts built me a bedroom. [She inspects several useless-looking bits and abandoned bobs before finding a plunger in one dark corner of the closet. Mostly useless itself, but at least it's thicker all the way through than the pool cue.] How long have you been watching us?

Re: PSEUDOSPAM - LOLLLZ SLEEP WELL. paradoxlol September 13 2010, 15:41:15 UTC

Everybody here has a bedroom. And are you referring to your father? [Pause] Nobody's been watching you here.

[He should probably explain where 'here' is...] Do the words 'Barge' or 'Admiral' mean anything to you? Aside from the dictionary definitions.

Re: PSEUDOSPAM - CAN I TAG ON THE END HERE? christ_onabike September 13 2010, 17:07:38 UTC

After a moment of sheer 'what the shitting hell', Paddy turns up to try and find out exactly how a 12 year old gets here, and what sort of 12 year old has to be put in a cupboard and liberally uses 'cocksucker'.

...Actually, sounds like one of his kids.

He turns up behind Arthur and looks at the cupboard skeptically. He's not sure he needs to say anything just yet.

PSEUDOSPAM - I'M GOOD WITH THAT girlenoughforu September 13 2010, 19:32:21 UTC

[No more information for you, Arthur. She steps on the rubber part of the plunger, holding it down while she attempts to twist the staff free.]

What, I'm supposed to know all your codewords now?

Re: PSEUDOSPAM - DITTO paradoxlol September 13 2010, 19:42:32 UTC

It's not a code word; it's where you are right now. [He looks back at Paddy and nods to him.]

Look, there's a woman here who can explain everything to you, if you just put down whatever it is you're planning to attack me with and come with us. She's just down the hall. [He knows this is so not going to work.] I promise, we have nothing to do with this D'Amico person, but we can try to help you find your dad.

PSEUDOSPAM - SNEAKING A QUICK TAG IN girlenoughforu September 13 2010, 19:54:32 UTC

[Mindy stays silent to a count of three--that's long enough for uncertainty, she's pretty sure.]

...Fine. [She braces, holding the newly-freed plunger rod like a pole vaulter readying for a leap.

As soon as that door opens she's going to try and crush Arthur's foot with it.

Sorry bro.]

PSEUDOSPAM christ_onabike September 13 2010, 20:55:38 UTC

[Paddy nods, and takes a couple of steps to the side so she's got nowhere to go once the door opens. Arthur's got her to agree, so he's not going to jump in just yet, he'll be there in case she tries to make a run for it, or changes her mind in the process.

Or, tries to attack one of them.]

PSEUDOSPAM paradoxlol September 13 2010, 21:14:25 UTC

[Arthur doesn't really trust the kid, since her last innocent act landed him with a hit to the balls. So he waits for Paddy to be in position, then he moves to the other side of the door, back pressed against the wall. No way was he going to stand in the immediate line of fire. He reached out and jerked the doorknob with his hand, opening the door just slightly, before swapping to use the pool cue to push it the rest of the way open. Bonus? He could use it to keep some distance between the kid and himself.]

PSEUDOSPAM girlenoughforu September 13 2010, 23:54:03 UTC

[For Christ's sake, when did henchmen grow brains? She sees the cue poking the door open and immediately switches tactics, ducking low to try and get under it to slam the blunt point of her new weapon up under his ribs. Crack a couple, knock the wind out of him, hopefully. If she can just get the advantage back somehow. The competency of the people around here is fucking weird.]

PSEUDOSPAM paradoxlol September 14 2010, 00:29:41 UTC

[When the handle jabs upward, Arthur slams the pool cue down at an angle to knock it off course and away from his ribs. He swings it again, lower this time, in an attempt to knock her off balance. Problem is, Arthur doesn't have that much experience with... polearms, so he's not expecting a great deal of success here. He's hoping that if he and Paddy can get her to Angelica, she'll calm the hell down.]
