YarnKittymon: DL: ::walks down the hallway towards
the part of Mrs. Madison's house that Thalgore occupies, holding
a yellowish rat firmly in both hands::
MadScientist373:
TA: ::in his labs, pouring green liquid in a becker:: Hello Donald,
why might I do for you?
YarnKittymon: DL:
::holds out the rat:: You remember him, right? The rat I asked
you to neuter last week?
MadScientist373:
TA: ::pulls his glasses up and looks at the rat:: OH yes I remeber
him. Whats wrong with him?
YarnKittymon: DL:
::grins:: Nothing. Nothing at all. ::pauses, then sobers considerably::
I'd like you to perform some experiments on him, if you don't
mind.
MadScientist373:
TA: What kind?
YarnKittymon: DL:
::bites his lip for a moment, then looks at the floor:: Kill him.
Torture him. Do whatever you wish to him.
MadScientist373:
TA: ::looks puzzled:: Why?
YarnKittymon: DL:
He's our test rat! Don't you see? He's immortal!
MadScientist373:
TA: What, you can't kill him?
YarnKittymon: DL:
Not exactly. I stabbed him through, and he died, all right. But
he didn't stay dead. ::grins:: It works, Thalgore, don't you see?
MadScientist373:
TA: Well thats great! So you want me to do the test that you already
proformed? Why?
YarnKittymon: DL:
Not the same test. We have to make sure that there's no weaknesses
in the spell, no way to kill him so he stays dead. I'd hate to
find out too late that a wooden stake through my heart or something
would kill me for good, when I thought I was invulnerable...but
if I knew in advance, I could guard against it.
MadScientist373:
TA: ::takes the rat and kisses it:: Well it seemed to live though
that, lets see...nuclear bombs...acid..posion and smoking...
YarnKittymon: :
::the rat sneezes::
YarnKittymon: DL: Please use ether or something,
so it doesn't feel pain when you torture it, all right?
MadScientist373:
TA: hmmm.....I'll get started, would you like to watch?
YarnKittymon: DL:
::cringes visibly:: It--it will be a long process, you know. It
took two days for him to revive after I stabbed him.
YarnKittymon: : ::the rat starts sniffing at
Thalgore's fingers::
MadScientist373:
TA: I think I'll cook him and eat him, if he lives though that,
then he is immortal!
YarnKittymon: DL:
::rather suddenly:: Don't! Burn him and scatter his ashes if you
must...
MadScientist373: TA: No, I must see if he can live
though the digestive system, if so no bomb or posion would kill
him! whahahaha!
YarnKittymon: DL:
::inhales deeply:: First cut off the tip of his tail.
MadScientist373:
TA: Why, to see if he will grow it back?
YarnKittymon: DL:
Yes. That's something I'd like to know--wouldn't you?
MadScientist373:
TA: ::Takes a knife and chops the tail off and eats it.:: hmmm...lets
see in a few days if he will get it back...
YarnKittymon: DL:
::watches, eyes wide with disgust:: It...it may take more than
a few days...
MadScientist373:
TA: I'm sure it will, so now can I carry on with my own work now?
Are or you hungry, boy I am!
YarnKittymon: :
::the poor rat is struggling, clawing and biting, trying to get
free of Thalgore::
DL: Let him go.
MadScientist373:
TA: ::puts him in a becke with green stuff:: heh!
YarnKittymon: :
::the rat makes a terrible screech, its fur starting to melt off::
DL: Stop that! ::punches the beaker, overturning it, and making
its contents (rat and all) fall onto the table::
: ::the rat flees to a corner, not being able to get out of the
room::
MadScientist373: TA: Oh spoil my dinner why don't
you, thats okay, I'll catch him. :: binds down and whistles::
YarnKittymon: : ::the rat scampers to another
corner, away from Thalgore, still squeaking::
YarnKittymon: DL: Get away from him! I told
you to drug him before you hurt him!
MadScientist373: TA: Oh, okay I can do that. ::chuckles
and graps his laser gun:: setting it on stun....::aims::
JopDance: ti: ::wonders down the hall and
notices that the door is open and all the noise coming from within;
he pokes his head in:: Hey, what's goin on?
YarnKittymon: : ::the rat gets hit, and drops
down, limp::
YarnKittymon: DL: No! ::runs over and scoops
up the rat; looks up at Tony:: Good day.
MadScientist373: TA: Ha, now i will eat youuuuuu!
::laughs madly::
YarnKittymon: DL: You'll do no such thing! I've
changed my mind.
MadScientist373: TA: But you wanna me to test him,
what if someone eats you and you die!
JopDance: ti: ::looks at Thalgore:: So rats
taste good, huh?
MadScientist373: TA: yes they do::looks down::
YarnKittymon: DL: Fine. Find your own rat. Just
make sure you neuter him first; we don't need a million rats in
the house.
JopDance: ti: ::shrugs:: Hm, never would
have thought it.
MadScientist373: TA: Why are you so attach to it
anyways, oh I know....you love him...
YarnKittymon: DL: If it's going to live as long
as I am, I'd just as soon be on good terms with it.
MadScientist373: TA: and who might you be sir?
::looks at tony::
JopDance: ti: You could have picked a better
pet...::extends his hand to Thalgore:: Hey, I'm Tony
MadScientist373: TA: ::takes his hand in a shake::
Nice to met you...
JopDance: ti: So who're you?
YarnKittymon: DL: ::the rat is still sizzling
from the acid; Donald goes to the ink and washes it::
MadScientist373: TA: I'm Thalgore. ::chuckles::
Ruler of the world.
JopDance: ti: ::laughs:: Really? ::to Donald::
Where'd you find this guy?
YarnKittymon: DL: ::smirks:: I wish I hadn't
found him at all. Why don't you let him tell you where he came
from?
MadScientist373: TA: ::narrows his eyes at the
rat and smiles::hmmmm...pink...colour..pink would look nice...
JopDance: ti: Should make for a good story.
All right, where did you come from?
MadScientist373: TA: hahah, Earth! The Earth!
JopDance: ti: ::grins:: That was
a good story.
MadScientist373: TA: The year 2025..::smirks::
JopDance: ti: ::smile grows wider:: So what's
it like in the future, Thal?
MadScientist373: TA: ::puts a finger on his lip::
shhh...I'm not suppose to tell...
YarnKittymon: DL: ::drying the rat off:: He's
fully mad, you know.
MadScientist373: TA: I know I upsetted the rat,
I'll say sorry to it if you want!
JopDance: ti: ::chuckles:: I can tell.
MadScientist373: TA: :: holds out his hand to the
rat:: Can I see him please...
YarnKittymon: DL: Most certainly not. Go to
a slum and catch your own if you must have one.
MadScientist373: TA: ::growls:: Fine, I find my
own and eat it, then I'll tell you if it can live though it!
YarnKittymon: DL: ::folds his arms:: I think
you'd have to know how to give it immortality, first.
MadScientist373: TA: ::looks at him and smiles::
And who would I do that sir? ::bows::
JopDance: ti: ::looks at the rat:: Whoa,
so that rat is immortal?
MadScientist373: TA: we don't know, he won't let
me eat it!
YarnKittymon: DL: I stabbed it and it died,
but returned to life afterwards. I think that's suitable evidence.
I wouldn't willingly subject a *rat* too Thalgore's experiments.
MadScientist373: TA: Then why come and disturb
me, and say do anything to it! ::growls and crosses his arms::
JopDance: ti: ::goes closer to the rat::
A rat that lives forever? ::picks it up:: I don't see any stab
marks...
YarnKittymon: DL: The moment I came in, I told
you to drug it first, so it wouldn't suffer needlessly! But you
took pleasure in torturing it! ::keeps a good hold on the rat,
though it's still unconscious; turns it onto its back, pointing
to its stomach:: It has a slight scar, right here, though it seems
to be fading.
MadScientist373: TA: ::pulls his glasses up and
opens a drawer:: hmmmm
JopDance: ti: ::seems shocked for a moment::
Huh...stab it again, I want to see.
MadScientist373: TA: wait ::pulls out some pills::
here are some pills...
YarnKittymon: DL: It takes a day or two for
it to return to life, Tony.
MadScientist373: TA: Plenty of time to burry one.
YarnKittymon: DL: Excuse me?
MadScientist373: TA: Plenty of time to burry someone,
when they die, you get burried in the ground.
JopDance: ti: Well, I can wait.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::just looks down, silently::
MadScientist373: TA: Can I still paint it pink?
JopDance: ti: What?
YarnKittymon: DL: Why the devil would you want
to do that?
MadScientist373: TA: I think it would give him
some characther.
YarnKittymon: DL: He's already missing part
of his tail.
MadScientist373: TA: ::smiles:: well we will see
if he gets that back, if not,then you know that if you are eatten
you are dead dead.
JopDance: ti: ::pulls a pocketknife from
his pocket:: You can paint him pink after he comes back to life
again.
YarnKittymon: DL: Stop! There's no sense in
killing him the same way twice!
MadScientist373: TA: Good point! I'll shot him!
::takes his laser::
YarnKittymon: DL: Fine. Get back against the
wall, Thalgore.
MadScientist373: TA: ::goes tot he wall and points
the gun at Donald::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::eyes widen, but just for
a moment:: You might want to get the sight adjusted on that gun.
MadScientist373: TA: I know what I'm aiming at.
::points at the rat:: Just wanted to see your reaction.
JopDance: ti: You're actually gonna let
him shoot at you?
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks at Tony for a moment,
one eyebrow raised, then back at Thalgore:: Don't cross me.
MadScientist373: TA: ::Starts to pull the trigger::
I advise you to put the rat down, it might hit you too if not.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::sets the rat down on the
counter, then steps back half a step::
MadScientist373:
TA: ::a green laser
zaps the rat, and it is black and burned:: ha!
YarnKittymon: DL: ::picks up the rat; listens
to its chest, just to make sure, then shows it to Tony::
MadScientist373: TA: ::blows on the end of the
gun:: hehhehe!
JopDance: ti: ::looks at it, stunned:: What
kind of gun is that?
MadScientist373: TA: I told you I came from the
future! ::chuckles::
JopDance: ti: ::eyes go wide:: Whoa...and
you can really make people live forever?
MadScientist373: TA: I can't, but God can. ::laughs
madly::
YarnKittymon: DL: God will do no such thing,
not for us, anyway. Unless you consider...::pauses, then shakes
his head:: Thalgore still doesn't know the process.
JopDance: ti: ::shocked, in a quiet voice::
You're serious, aren't you?
MadScientist373: TA: No, I trully do not. ::smiles::
YarnKittymon: DL: I hope to have it all prepared
in just a few weeks.
MadScientist373: TA: ::Looks at a book:: I want
to fall in love....
YarnKittymon: DL: ::tersely:: Then hurry up.
Though you'll have to rob an asylum to find a woman who might
like you.
JopDance: ti: ::scratches his head:: Wow...
MadScientist373: ((whats a asylum?))
YarnKittymon: ((He means like the insane asylum))
MadScientist373: TA: Very funny...::puts his hand
on his head:: But then they are very smart over there, they have
more IQ's then you would ever have!
YarnKittymon: DL: ::in a patronizing tone::
All right.
MadScientist373: TA: ::sits down with the book
in his lap:: how do you know when you fall in love...I like two
women...
YarnKittymon: DL: See which one hates you the
least, and try to make your move.
MadScientist373: TA: hmmm that would make sense...make
a move..hmm...I still need to dye the rat pick...
YarnKittymon: DL: I doubt that will win the
love of your preferred woman.
JopDance: ti: ::snaps out of his stupor
and is greatly excited; puts his hand on Donald's shoulder and
shakes it to get his attention:: When does it start? When can
I live forever?
MadScientist373: TA: Oh I can dance reall good!
Watch this! ::moves some chairs out of the way:: ::starts dancing::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::ignores Thalgore; smiles
a bit at Tony:: With any luck, in less than two months. Mrs Madison
has to be the first, and I'm afraid it may take a few days for
the--er--device to be recharged, but you'll have your turn, I
assure you.
JopDance: ti: Two months! Well...I guess
I can wait that long and I have a lot to do before I start...
MadScientist373: TA: fools.
YarnKittymon: DL: If you have no interest in
living forever, Thalgore, you're welcome to leave. In fact, I'd
prefer it.
MadScientist373: TA: Oh no, I can't wait to live
forever! ::laughs madly again almost drooling on himself::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::scowls, then looks down
at the rat, silently::
JopDance: ti: ::looks at Thalgore strangely::
MadScientist373: TA: ::puts a hand on tony's shoulder::
Why don't we go out, and have fun, why we wait for the rat to
return to life!
JopDance: ti: ::uncomfortably:: But I just
got here...I haven't looked around the place yet.
MadScientist373: TA: this is my lab, theres nothing
I "want" you to look at. ::smirks::
JopDance: ti: Well there's more here besides
a lab, isn't there?
MadScientist373: TA: Donald?
YarnKittymon: DL: Your living quarters?
MadScientist373: TA: ::frowns:: Were not searching
my lab, or my quarters, thank you very much!
YarnKittymon: DL: I take it you're hiding something?
MadScientist373: TA: ::crossing his arms:: yes
I am, and I'm not showing you!
YarnKittymon: DL: ::pauses, then smiles:: All
right. Let's go out and have some ice cream, and you can tell
me about the women you like.
MadScientist373: TA: ::in a deep mans voice:: yeppie
we all scream for ice cream!
YarnKittymon: DL: ::half-shakes his head:: Tony?
JopDance: ti: ::shrugs:: Ok
YarnKittymon: DL: I'll meet you at the front
door. ::goes off to his room, still holding the rat::
MadScientist373: TA: ::walks Tony out:: YOu like
ice cream then huh?
JopDance: ti: ::feeling slightly uncomfortable::
Yea, ice cream is good...
MadScientist373: TA: I do love vanilla...with caramle...
JopDance: ti: There's a place I went to
one time...they made the best sundaes in town.
MadScientist373: TA: Great, lets go there, maybe
they will have some chics!
YarnKittymon: DL: ::comes out the front doors,
dusting off his hands:: Shall we be off?
MadScientist373: TA: Like yeah...I'm hungry!
JopDance: ti: ::chuckles:: Chicks, huh?
::to Donald:: Sure, let's go.
MadScientist373: TA: Shall we take me car, I love
to drive, there hardly ever any traffic....and its all so slow...hehehe
YarnKittymon: DL: No, thank you. ::heads to
his car, whistling a tune::
JopDance: ti: ::gets in the backseat::
MadScientist373: TA: ::gets in the front:: just
don't go slow..
YarnKittymon: DL: I'll drive as I like. ::goes
at a slow rate, just to irritate Thalgore::
MadScientist373: TA: ::growls:: grrrr...
JopDance: ti: ::grins::
YarnKittymon: DL: Any suggestions for which
parlor?
MadScientist373: TA: tony knows a good one.
JopDance: ti: Benny's Ice Cream Shop
YarnKittymon: DL: Oh? Where is that?
MadScientist373: TA: Donald, its on Earth, duh!
JopDance: ti: ::smiles at Thalgore's comment::
A couple of blocks from where I live.
YarnKittymon: DL: I see. ::heads towards where
Tony lives:: You'll have to direct me when we're near.
MadScientist373: TA: ::sits back:: ha ha ha.
JopDance: ti: ::directs them to a little
parlor that fits snugly between two buildings; it looks like a
nice enough place::
YarnKittymon: DL: What a charming building.
::parks and gets out of the car::
MadScientist373: TA: Oh yummy...I do love ice cream.
YarnKittymon: DL: I doubt they have rat-flavored.
MadScientist373: TA: ::looks around:: No I want
vanilla!
JopDance: ti: ::gets out and walks inside;
he sits on a stool in front of the counter; there are more stool
lined up beside it and a couple of tables::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::sits next to Tony, silently::
MadScientist373: TA: ::looks around, and sits by
Donald::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::orders a chocolate sundae::
MadScientist373: TA: ::order a camarmile sunae
with nuts::
JopDance: ti: ::orders a banana split::
MadScientist373: TA: ::looks up at the person taking
orders:: Hey you, I'm the ruler of this world!
JopDance: by: ::looks over at Tony:: This
a friend of yours?
JopDance: ti: Sort of..
MadScientist373: TA: F.r.i.e.n.d..is friend.
YarnKittymon: DL: He's an insane man we watch
out of charity.
MadScientist373: TA: c.h.a.r.i.t.y is charity and
i.n.s.a.n.e is me!
YarnKittymon: DL: Though sometimes I regret
taking care of him...
JopDance: ti: ::nods:: Ohh ::looks at Thalgore
sympathetically:: It's really nice o'him like that...I'll let
you have the ice cream for free.
MadScientist373: TA: ::smiles:: I'll remeber that
when I'm ruller.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::to the clerk:: Thank you.
You're a good man. ::looks at Thalgore for a moment, his eyes
narrowed, looking scarier than he usually does::
MadScientist373: TA: ::Looks dead serious:: Remeber
who you are getting cross with Donald.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::quietly:: I remember.
MadScientist373: TA: ::smirks:: Good, I remeber
too.
YarnKittymon: DL: Don't *you* forget that I'm
the only one who knows how to unlock our secret...
MadScientist373: TA: ::smirks:: Thats why I remeber
too. ::winks::
JopDance: ti: ::grimaces and concentrates
on his ice cream::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks at Tony, then Thalgore::
Well, we didn't come here to fight. I wanted to hear about your
women...
MadScientist373: TA: yes one is married to Hugo
McHenry, she has such lovely red hair, and eyes...her eyes...
JopDance: ti: ::talks around a spoonful
of ice cream:: It's too much trouble, going after a girl that's
already married.
YarnKittymon: DL: Well, you'll certainly not
have her.
MadScientist373: TA: Then there this one i met
the other day, she was with this boy by the name of Alex, he called
her by Serena...
YarnKittymon: DL: What does she look like?
JopDance: ti: ::grins:: So you only like
the ones that already have men, huh?
MadScientist373: TA: thats half the chalange! she
got long black hair, with gray eyes, so claim and mellow...
YarnKittymon: DL: You think you can win her
in a month?
MadScientist373: TA: a month? why? what happens
after that?
YarnKittymon: DL: If you want her to share your
immortality--::suddenly stops himself, as they're in public::
MadScientist373: TA: I can do that, I can win her
over! ::smiles and lets his mind goes off in space::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks at Tony; quietly::
The same goes for you.
JopDance: by: ::was listening, and wonders
what he was going to say next::
MadScientist373: TA: ::starts to eat:: Oh holygoodness
is this stuff outragous!
JopDance: ti: ::yawns:: I'll have to find
someone first...you don't know anyone, do you?
YarnKittymon: DL: ::very quietly:: We could
look together...there's a woman I fancy, but perhaps her sister
might like you...
MadScientist373: TA: mmummmm this is so good....
JopDance: ti: ::takes another bite:: What's
she like?
YarnKittymon: DL: ::smiles:: A regular firebrand.
MadScientist373: TA: ::perks up after his icecream::
Hey you guys, I gotta go, have experiments to do, so I'll go on
ahead...
MadScientist373: TA: ::heads out the door::
YarnKittymon: DL: Don't go into my room!
JopDance: ti: ::watches him leave:: See
you later
MadScientist373: TA: ya da ya da! ::walks off::
YarnKittymon: DL: I don't know much about the
woman's sister. They're twins, though.
JopDance: ti: Oh, I don't know if that's
such a good idea; I might get 'em confused. ::grins::
YarnKittymon: DL: Perhaps, but I can tell them
apart. I should probably get to know her better...
JopDance: ti: What do they look like?
YarnKittymon: DL: Long red hair, in curls--I
guess she's not so fashionable, but she's still beautiful. Green
eyes. Very striking when she's in her costume.
JopDance: ti: Hm, she sounds nice.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::laughs:: That's not exactly
the right word for her! She's not a very pleasant person, really,
but she has spunk.
JopDance: ti: ::grins:: Well that should
make things interesting. So she's a part of this Freak Show? What
does she do in it?
YarnKittymon: DL: Maeve does fire tricks, and
her sister uses ice.
JopDance: ti: ::eyes widen:: Which one's
mine?
YarnKittymon: DL: Aldez, the ice one. If she
likes you. Don't get your hopes too high; I doubt Maeve cares
for me, and once I go through with this, she might despise me.
But she might put up with it...
JopDance: ti: If she gets mad at me she
might turn me into a popsickle or something...::shakes head::
I think I'll try someone else.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::nods:: I understand. Good
luck, anyway. ::pauses:: How do you like Thalgore?
JopDance: ti: I think he's crazy...::smiles::
but he's funny.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::quietly:: Can you imagine
living in the same world as him, *forever*?
JopDance: ti: ::takes another bite of his
ice cream:: Should make things interesting...
YarnKittymon: DL: I suppose...::finally goes
at his ice cream; he only ate a couple bites, before::
JopDance: ti: ::smiles:: What? You're not
looking forward to spending forever with him? It's a big world;
you can move away.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::smiles weakly:: Not if he
takes as much of it over as he thinks he will...
JopDance: ti: ::snorts:: Him? ::pauses::
But he does have that gun...
YarnKittymon: DL: If he can't be killed, he
may have time to eventually do as he wants. Though you're right;
the idea of him actually ruling is more than a little ludicrous.
JopDance: ti: ::wipes his mouth with a napkin::
Maybe it won't happen; he is pretty crazy.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::finishes his ice cream;
takes out a dollar to pay:: I'll say. I wonder if he knows Serena's
talent...
JopDance: by: ::refuses the money:: I said
it was on the house. ::he's been listening and being confused
by all that they've said::
JopDance: ti: What is it?
YarnKittymon: DL: Thank you, good sir. ::to
Tony:: She can change shapes, to look like anyone, or anything.
JopDance: ti: Hm; that doesn't seem so bad.
YarnKittymon: DL: I'm sure Thalgore would love
it...and it could be nice...but how can he be sure she's really
a woman?
JopDance: ti: ::laughs:: You're right; he
could be marrying a man and not even know it!
YarnKittymon: DL: ::laughs, too:: Although perhaps
Thalgore wouldn't care.
JopDance: ti: Well if he can get her to
look any way he wants...it might not be so bad.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::soberly:: He'll probably
make her change into Stella...
JopDance: ti: The one that's married? Well
it's better then trying to get the real thing; it causes too many
problems
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks at the counter, silently,
deep in thought::
JopDance: ti: Hey, what's the matter with
you? ::grins:: You don't like this Stella girl too, do you?
YarnKittymon: DL: She's very beautiful, but
no. I know her husband, though.
JopDance: ti: Then what's the matter?
YarnKittymon: DL: Just more treacherous thoughts.
JopDance: ti: ::doesn't know what he means::
Huh...well are you ready to go?
YarnKittymon: DL: ::nods, standing:: I wonder
how Thalgore got home...
JopDance: ti: Maybe he took a cab. How did
Thalgore come here, anyway?
YarnKittymon: DL: ::leaves the ice cream parlor::
Come where?
JopDance: ti: Here, to this time.
YarnKittymon: DL: I don't know. I'm not sure
I believe he *is* from the future.
JopDance: ti: Well what about that gun?
YarnKittymon:
DL: ::shrugs:: Maybe he just
put it together himself.
JopDance: ti: He's that smart, huh? ::gets
in the car::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::gets in, too, and starts
driving:: Or maybe he stole it from an old lady. I don't know.
JopDance: ti: ::smiles:: Maybe ::looks out
the window::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::drives back to Mrs. Madison's
place, still looking rather troubled::
JopDance: ti: ::gets out of the car; he
grins when he looks over at Donald:: You look like you've swallowed
something sower.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::laughs:: Not exactly, no.
::shakes his head:: Go out and find yourself a woman, Tony.
JopDance: ti: ::shrugs:: Maybe I won't get
one; there aren't many who'd want someone who looked like me.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::shrugs:: Well, you'll amass
a fortune someday, and then you can have whoever you want.
JopDance: ti: ::grins:: You're right. They'll
be knockin' down my door.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::grins:: That's the spirit.
::heads back inside::
JopDance: ti: ::follows him::
