Something is Amiss, Miss.

As Cain sat in his laboratory, he was acutely aware of a sort of tunnel vision effect that began around the edges of his vision. This would not be terribly abnormal but for the fact that when he looked at the object that seemed to be warping, it stayed warped, just slightly. Not enough to notice it was off unless you saw it happen ( Read more... )

The message her beloved had left over on the network had been more then enough for the doll-maiden to sprint towards the lab with all the speed her porcelain legs could muster.

Upon entering the place of science, her aura, indicated more through her shortness of breath then anything, is one of panic and fear. Afraid of a repeat performance of the last time Cain was in a bad spot, Victoria can't help but shout as her mind struggles to find words to convey her emotional state. "Cain! I came as soon as I saw your message, whats going on here?!"

His ears told him that she had come, but he feared looking at her in case she, too, would warp. His hand was still on his chest, though, and it brought his attention back to a more important bit. He turned toward her but did not meet her eyes with his.

"Victoria, put your hand on my heart. Is my heart beating at all? My heart is not beating at all. Yet I am speaking to you, I am moving and breathing, yet here I am alive and perhaps going mad, but my heart has stopped beating."

He reached out with both arms for his doll girl.

Victoria embraced Cain without question, taking care to place one of her artificial hands directly the Earl's heart. Much to her horror, what Cain said was all to true.

"I cannot feel your heart beat, love..."

The lack of heartbeat was perhaps the first thing she would sense, but the second would have to have been the hard protrusion from the center of his back, sticking out about a centimeter and with a cylindrical shape.

Cain shook his head. "And yet how...?" he said, swooning a bit. The warping was getting worse, bad enough that even Victoria might notice it now. At this rate, the very body she wore might start twisting and bending. He did not understand it, not at all.

"It might be dangerous for you to be around me," he said in a low voice, strangely calm for the lack of heartbeat he'd discovered. "Something is going on, something I cannot explain, but things around me are changing shape and I do not--" he said, but cut himself off quickly.

"...the reality device... that must be it..." he half-whispered. "It started after we rescued the boy..."
