[22:21]	<[Nom]Franz>	"My name is...Franz. I bid you...welcome."
[22:27]	* [Tet]Phaedra	is a little girl, emphasis on the "little", in a bright pink and white uniform, with bright red hair and a bright complexion and sharply out-of-place dark gray eyes. She has a large, unlabeled book under one arm; the cover is closed with a bronze lock, and the corners are capped by dented metal.
[22:27]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	I'm Phaedra. Phaedra Lysistrata. Um. Hi, I guess.
[22:28]	* [huh]Naomi	nods from her position leaning against a wall.
[22:28]	<[huh]Naomi>	"'Sup. I'm Naomi Felicitas."
[22:28]	* [kiri]Mui	.me waves.
[22:29]	<[kiri]Mui>	I'm Mui! Just Mui! No more! No less!
[22:34]	* [Gtz]Jacob	is a pale looking young fellow, wearing something that looks like it came out of a 30's mobster movie and bears many stitches and seams across his joints - around the neck, wrists, elbows, probably his fingers too, but he's wearing gloves. He seems very anxious, wearing out his tie from twisting it over and over.
[22:34]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Uh, hi, everybody. I'm Jacob Manhattan, and the people down in the lab assigned you to take care of me. I'm sorry to cause you trouble, I'll try to make it as easy for you as I can...
[22:34]	* [kiri]Mui	eyes Jacob suspiciously.
[22:35]	<[kiri]Mui>	Let's work together to make our life's here a happy one!
[22:35]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Don't be like that, master. Servants are supposed to work. Please make a lot of trouble so we can get paid."
[22:35]	* [kiri]Mui	spin around. Back to her usual self.
[22:35]	* [Nom]Franz	chuckles darkly
[22:35]	* [Tet]Phaedra	surreptitiously opens her book and scribbles something down in it before closing it really fast.
[22:36]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Uh, um, right... I mean, no, I wouldn't want to do that! Unless... Well... I don't know...
[22:37]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	[dies of a heart attack]
[22:37]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	[not really though]
[22:38]	* [kiri]Mui	take Jacob's hand and drag him out.
[22:38]	<[kiri]Mui>	Okay! Let's go take a walk, shall we?!
[22:39]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Ah- wait!
[22:39]	* [Gtz]Jacob	's hand pops off
[22:40]	* [kiri]Mui	hold it there. puzzled.
[22:40]	<[huh]Naomi>	JESUS CHRIST
[22:40]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	...umm, sorry, I should of told you about that...
[22:40]	* [kiri]Mui	put it back in.
[22:40]	<[huh]Naomi>	Does... is it supposed to do that?
[22:41]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	ahaha...y-yeah...
[22:41]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	...Does anyone have any thread?
[22:42]	<[huh]Naomi>	I've got some garrote wire.
[22:42]	<[huh]Naomi>	WIll that do?
[22:43]	* [Gtz]Jacob	sees Naomi's striking expression, and slowly steps away.
[22:44]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Uh-uh-um, I think there's some stitching tools in the med room, I'll just, uh, go get that, yeah.
[22:44]	<[huh]Naomi>	Ah, suit yourself.
[22:44]	<[kiri]Mui>	Aren't we supposed to go get that?
[22:44]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Hey, yeah. That's why we're here!
[22:45]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	You sit right down, I'll be right back!
[22:45]	* [Tet]Phaedra	pushes Jacob into the nearest chair/bench and runs out of the room.
[22:45]	* [Tet]Phaedra	leans back in a moment later.
[22:45]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Actually if you just put a bandage...oh well."
[22:45]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Um... where is your room, anyway? Master?
[22:46]	<[kiri]Mui>	Let me let me! I'll show you!
[22:46]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Oh? Okay.
[22:46]	* [kiri]Mui	take Phaedra's hand and pull her.
[22:46]	* [Tet]Phaedra	stands aside so Mui can lead, then gets unexpectedly yanked along.
[22:46]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Oh, you don't have to I mean...- uh.. Oh jeez...
[22:47]	* [Gtz]Jacob	fidgets with his tie, unable to keep up with all the fuss
[22:48]	<[Nom]Franz>	"There there, master. You should just leave it to your servants. Just sit around and drink tea and look affected."
[22:51]	* [huh]Naomi	is still looking at Jacob in what to her is a somewhat concerned fashion, though it seems rather menacing.
[22:51]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	W-well, I really don't think it's all that necessary.
[22:52]	* [kiri]Mui	leads her through a cramped corridor that feels like a maze composed by useless metal chunk. it have many turns, but in the end they are now at the master's room. It's just a plain room, with a bed, a sink and a cupboard.
[22:52]	<[kiri]Mui>	Here it is!
[22:52]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	...this is the master's room?
[22:53]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Doesn't bode well for our own quarters...
[22:53]	<[kiri]Mui>	It's all alike.
[22:53]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Necessary? That's not a hedonistic attitude at all! You're quite disappointing."
[22:53]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Oh, great...
[22:53]	<[kiri]Mui>	It's like we're in some kind of camp! Isn't that fun!?
[22:53]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	No.
[22:54]	* [Tet]Phaedra	opens the cupboard and takes out what at least looks like a sewing kit.
[22:54]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	This it?
[22:54]	<[kiri]Mui>	yep. probably.
[22:54]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Good enough for me.
[22:55]	* [Tet]Phaedra	heads back the way she came.
[22:55]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Honestly, Mr. Franz, I just want to live out what little life I have without bothering anyone... The people in the suits and labcoats can do whatever they want, I just don't want to bother anybody.
[22:55]	* [Gtz]Jacob	bows his head down and looks sullen
[22:56]	* [Tet]Phaedra	re-enters the meeting room.
[22:56]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	O-kay, where's the patient?
[22:56]	<[Nom]Franz>	"See? They only wish to serve. Think about it as providing your staff with their livlihoods. It's a noble cause, really."
[22:57]	* [Gtz]Jacob	just glances at Franz, before waving his detached hand at Phaedra
[22:57]	* [kiri]Mui	trips, and made a "BAMP" sound when she smash her face onto the metallic floor.
[22:57]	<[kiri]Mui>	ow.
[22:57]	* [Gtz]Jacob	covers his mouth with said and and gasps in shock
[22:58]	* [Gtz]Jacob	said hand, even
[22:58]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Even if they're not too good at it. If you don't take them in, who will?"
[22:58]	* [Tet]Phaedra	takes no notice of Mui's misfortune, crossing right over to Jacob and taking the hand from in front of his mouth.
[22:58]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Uh-um, hey, is... Is she gonna be alright?
[22:58]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Okay, umm... hm. Could I get somebody to hold this thing steady in place?
[22:58]	<[kiri]Mui>	eheheh~ Mui is fine! nothing to worry about!
[22:59]	* [kiri]Mui	got a nosebleed.
[22:59]	* [kiri]Mui	plug it with paper.
[22:59]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	See? I'm already causing trouble for other people!
[22:59]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Trouble? She says she's fine. Now hold still.
[23:00]	<[Nom]Franz>	"She's fine...and...and...ahem. Excuse me, I think I need to get some drinks."
[23:00]	* [Nom]Franz	Franz excuses himself in a hurry
[23:00]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Okay, okay...
[23:01]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Um... Okay... Just pop the bone in, and sow around the seams as deeply as you can.
[23:01]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	R... riiiight...
[23:02]	* [Tet]Phaedra	slips the hand back in place with a small *pop*.
[23:02]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	...weird...
[23:03]	* [Tet]Phaedra	shakes her head, takes out a needle and thread, and starts working.
[23:03]	* [Gtz]Jacob	tries not to make eye contact, getting a little hot under the collar
[23:03]	* [kiri]Mui	glare at Jacob. intensely.
[23:04]	* [Nom]Franz	returns, wiping his mouth with a handkerchief
[23:05]	* [Tet]Phaedra	stiches all the way around the wrist, tying the thread off once she's made a full circuit.
[23:05]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Did I miss anything?"
[23:05]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	I think that should be good.
[23:05]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	I've sewn clothes before, first time on flesh, though...
[23:05]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	You don't have to do this... I know it must make you sick...
[23:06]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Sick? Me?
[23:06]	* [Tet]Phaedra	frowns in thought.
[23:06]	* [Gtz]Jacob	open and closes his hand a few times, then bends it unnaturally, testing the seams
[23:06]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	But... Thanks, you do a better job than me.
[23:06]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Well... a little crepped out, maybe, but I wouldn't say sickened, no.
[23:07]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Oh... um, thank you, sir.
[23:07]	* [Tet]Phaedra	stands and bows as she steps back.
[23:09]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Y-you don't have to bow...
[23:09]	<[kiri]Mui>	Erm... Master Jacob? can you come out here for a minute? pretty please?
[23:10]	* [kiri]Mui	gesture outside the room.
[23:10]	* [Gtz]Jacob	looks at Phaedra, then Franz
[23:10]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Um... Okay.
[23:10]	* [kiri]Mui	wait outside.
[23:10]	* [Gtz]Jacob	gets ups and follows her outside
[23:10]	<[Nom]Franz>	"They even gave you a woman too. What a lucky guy you are."
[23:11]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Huh?
[23:11]	* [Tet]Phaedra	looks at Franz, then at Mui and Jacob.
[23:11]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Oh... ooooh...
[23:11]	* [Nom]Franz	winks
[23:11]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	...Huh?
[23:12]	* [Gtz]Jacob	stops before leaving, looking between Franz and the exit
[23:13]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	...
[23:13]	* [Gtz]Jacob	continues outside
[23:13]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Don't look at me like that, master. Go have all your fun without me."
[23:15]	* [kiri]Mui	grab Jacob's shoulders and pin him on the wall as soon as he's out of the room and closed the door.
[23:15]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	GaAah!
[23:15]	<[kiri]Mui>	...did you look at it?
[23:15]	<[kiri]Mui>	You are looking at her body, didn'tcha?
[23:15]	<[kiri]Mui>	You thinks bigger are better, didn'tcha?!
[23:16]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Wh-wh-wh-wh-what?!
[23:16]	* [Gtz]Jacob	eyes have gone wide
[23:17]	* [kiri]Mui	grab Jacob's coller, and pull him into a hard, long kiss.
[23:17]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Mph-....mm...
[23:18]	* [Tet]Phaedra	turns to Naomi while most everyone else is occupied.
[23:18]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	So, uh... what's your deal?
[23:18]	<[kiri]Mui>	You can't do that. Your eyes have to look at Mui only. Your love must direct at Mui only. No one else gonna have you but Mui. Mui only.
[23:18]	* [kiri]Mui	kiss him again. this time, softer.
[23:18]	<[huh]Naomi>	"Me?"
[23:18]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Yeah, you.
[23:19]	* [Gtz]Jacob	breaks the kiss, and puts on that sullen look again
[23:19]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	I'm... I'm sorry...
[23:19]	<[Nom]Franz>	"I think it's food and lodging and a small salary."
[23:19]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Not that. I mean like, her story. But while I'm on the subject, what's your's, beanpole?
[23:19]	<[kiri]Mui>	It's good that you understand that simple concept.
[23:20]	* [kiri]Mui	dust his shirt.
[23:20]	<[kiri]Mui>	now go inside. shoo.
[23:20]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Y-yes...
[23:20]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Beanpole? I'm hurt. My beautiful physique is quite the envy of the lab."
[23:21]	<[huh]Naomi>	"For me, not much. I got into a spot of trouble with the law, the people here bailed me out. In return, I agreed to do this."
[23:21]	* [Gtz]Jacob	heads back inside, hanging his head slightly
[23:21]	<[huh]Naomi>	"You beautiful physique is quite the envy of most hatracks, anyway."
[23:22]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Philistinean midgets."
[23:22]	* [kiri]Mui	sit down at her seat. looking satisfied. Her face is a little bit red.
[23:22]	<[Nom]Franz>	"You have no taste at all."
[23:22]	<[kiri]Mui>	phew~
[23:22]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	"Kinda the same. I'm a princess, believe it or not, but the old country's fallen on lean days. So, dad sent me here in exchange for some scratch. Said it'd be like summer camp..."
[23:22]	* [Tet]Phaedra	grimaces.
[23:23]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Oh, you're nobility. Of...royal blood. What an...entrancing story."
[23:24]	<[huh]Naomi>	"Poor girl, I know the feelin'. Ever ya need a hand after this, I think I can get double for my five-finger discount."
[23:24]	* [Gtz]Jacob	sits quietly at the table, content that no one is paying him any particular attention for the moment
[23:25]	* [Tet]Phaedra	smiles at Naomi.
[23:25]	* [Nom]Franz	smiles at everybody
[23:26]	* [kiri]Mui	smiles at Franz.
[23:27]	<[kiri]Mui>	what are you doing?
[23:28]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Oh, we were just talking.
[23:28]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Yes, discussing her...blood I believe. Actually, what were we talking about?"
[23:29]	<[kiri]Mui>	If there's nothing going on, Mui's going to clean the deck and prepare....things.
[23:30]	* [kiri]Mui	walking to the exit.
[23:30]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	"Well, anyway... what now?"
[23:30]	* [Tet]Phaedra	looks to Jacob expectantly.
[23:30]	<[Nom]Franz>	"I guess Mui will. Let us sit around and have light conversation in a pleasant atmosphere."
[23:30]	<[kiri]Mui>	Eh? Shouldn't you all be working?
[23:31]	* [Gtz]Jacob	avoids making eye contact and keeps to himself
[23:32]	<[kiri]Mui>	Why Mui have to be the only one working? Now Mui feel like an idiot.
[23:32]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Oh, she caught us. Let us slack off when is is gone."
[23:32]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	"I'd work, if I had any idea what needed doing."
[23:32]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	"Hint, hint, Master."
[23:33]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	.....h-huh? Oh. Um, I don't know... If you're hungry, I guess you could make yourselves something to eat.
[23:33]	* [Nom]Franz	perks up
[23:33]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	"Food? Okie dokie! What would you like?"
[23:33]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Really? Are we splitting them already?"
[23:33]	* [huh]Naomi	sighs.
[23:34]	* [Nom]Franz	sidles over to Phaedra
[23:34]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Well, I'll take this one, master. You can have the rest."
[23:34]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Oh, I'm sorry, I can't eat anything. I follow a very strict diet, you see... I can only eat when and what the doctors give me.
[23:34]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	"Oh... that's boring."
[23:34]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Don't be like that master. I can't possibly finish all this by myself."
[23:35]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Sure you cou-
[23:35]	* [Gtz]Jacob	realizes what he's talking about
[23:36]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	I mean- uh-... oh, you're joking. haha...
[23:37]	* [kiri]Mui	stares at the two. Didn't understand the joke at all.
[23:37]	* [Tet]Phaedra	stares up at Franz, hoping she didn't understand it...
[23:38]	* [huh]Naomi	watches the scene impassively.
[23:39]	<[Nom]Franz>	"You're putting me off my appetite, master. That's no fun at all."
[23:40]	* [kiri]Mui	lose interests. She walks to the kitchen by herself.
[23:40]	* [kiri]Mui	take Phaedra's hand.
[23:40]	<[Nom]Franz>	"It's alright, little princess girl. We'll get back to this later. Let's fatten you up a bit until we do. Lunch it is then."
[23:40]	<[kiri]Mui>	Let's go eat, Phaedra!
[23:40]	* [Nom]Franz	follows to the kitchen
[23:41]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Oh, um, if you don't mind, I'll be outside on the deck, if-that's-okay-with-you...
[23:42]	* [huh]Naomi	follows Franz, somewhat suspicious
[23:43]	* [kiri]Mui	arrived at the kitchen.
[23:43]	<[Nom]Franz>	"In the sun? How brave of you master. Have fun!"
[23:43]	* [Gtz]Jacob	goes out on the deck, sitting on top of a wooden table, basking in the sun.
[23:45]	* [kiri]Mui	rummaging through the stock, and pull out a can of..... meat?
[23:46]	* [Gtz]Jacob	checks to make sure no one's looking, then pulls out a pipe and match, smoking contently
[23:47]	* [kiri]Mui	pour the water in a bowl, put the can inside and pop two small hole.
[23:47]	* [kiri]Mui	heat it on the fire.
[23:47]	<[Nom]Franz>	"I'm afraid we aren't very well stocked. This being a secret research facility in the middle of a tropical jungle. But we should have enough for sandwiches and whatnot. As long as you're not too picky with your meat."
[23:47]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	"...place just keeps getting better, doesn't it..."
[23:48]	* [kiri]Mui	watch the fire. maybe sometimes poke it with her talisman. She looks at the burning paper with joy.
[23:50]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Or, if you don't feel peckish..."
[23:50]	* [Nom]Franz	gestures at Mui
[23:50]	<[Nom]Franz>	"You can just set things on fire. The master's not picky."
[23:52]	<[kiri]Mui>	Mui's just killing some times while heating things! It's not like Mui will set this facility on fire or anything!
[23:52]	<[kiri]Mui>	It's metal, after all!
[23:53]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	"eheheh..."
[23:53]	<[Nom]Franz>	"No no, it's fine. If Mui turns to arsony, I'm sure Mui will be the first to die, so I'm quite content."
[23:53]	* [kiri]Mui	throw an angry glare at Franz.
[23:53]	* [Tet]Phaedra	clears her throat and tries to change the subject.
[23:53]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	So, uh, what is it you've got cooking, there?
[23:54]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Er, as a manner of speaking, of course."
[23:56]	* [Gtz]Jacob	puts away the pipe and steps into the kitchen moments later
[23:56]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Um, Franz? I'm gonna... go for a walk or something. I'll be back in a few minutes.
[23:57]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Ah, master, can we get you something? We have plenty of fresh meat--oh. A walk. By yourself? here to?"
[23:57]	* [huh]Naomi	bored, examines a can of meat.
[23:57]	* [kiri]Mui	finished heating. She take the can of meat on the table.
[23:58]	* [kiri]Mui	look around for can opener, but found none.
[23:58]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Y-yeah... Just need to get some fresh air. And I don't need anything to eat, what they have in there's just for you guys.
[23:58]	* [Nom]Franz	's face drops
[23:58]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	"Oh, c'mon. You don't have to eat, just have a seat."
[23:58]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	"We can't take care of you if we don't even know you."
[23:58]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Well... I guess I could wait 'til after you're done...
[23:58]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	...Okay.
[23:59]	* [Tet]Phaedra	smiles and pulls out a chair at the table.
[23:59]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Here you are, master.
[23:59]	<[Nom]Franz>	"That's right, master, you have to practice the decadent lifestyle while you can. You'll miss out."
[23:59]	* [kiri]Mui	is frustrated.
[23:59]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	Uh, right...
[23:59]	<[kiri]Mui>	KORAAAAAAAAAAAA !!
[23:59]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	!?
[23:59]	* [kiri]Mui	slice a can open with Katana
[00:00]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Gaaaah!
[00:00]	<[huh]Naomi>	JESUS CHRIST WOMAN, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
[00:00]	* [Tet]Phaedra	instinctively throws her arms around Jacob's neck, startled by Mui's outburst.
[00:00]	* [Gtz]Jacob	takes a deep breath, then takes a seat as instructed
[00:00]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	!?
[00:00]	<[kiri]Mui>	Mui... Mui can't find a can o...opener....
[00:01]	* [Nom]Franz	facepalms
[00:01]	* [Tet]Phaedra	quickly lets go of the master.
[00:01]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Please, everybody, pretend you didn't see that."
[00:01]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Er... sorry about that.
[00:01]	<[huh]Naomi>	Then tell us, don't go wild like that.
[00:01]	* [Gtz]Jacob	whispers to Phaedra
[00:01]	* [kiri]Mui	nod.
[00:01]	<[kiri]Mui>	sorry.
[00:01]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	p-...please don't do that.
[00:02]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Sorry! I just... reacted.
[00:02]	* [kiri]Mui	is occupied, so she didn't see that.
[00:02]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	That's okay, but someone might get the wrong idea, and... well...
[00:02]	<[huh]Naomi>	It's no trouble, but don't startle a girl like that.
[00:02]	* [Gtz]Jacob	breaks the conversation and sits down
[00:02]	<[kiri]Mui>	but...okay! The can is opened!
[00:03]	<[Nom]Franz>	"Yes, master. That one's mine. I know I told you to help yourself, but why fight over such trifles, hmmm?"
[00:03]	* [Tet]Phaedra	pushes Jacob's chair back in, leaning over to his shoulder as she does so.
[00:03]	<[Tet]Phaedra>	Well, I don't mind what other people think.
[00:03]	<[kiri]Mui>	Anyone want some cooked meat with no flavor at all?
[00:03]	* [Tet]Phaedra	steps away and takes the chair across from the master.
[00:03]	* [Gtz]Jacob	just having heard Franz...
[00:04]	<[huh]Naomi>	No flavor'd be fine after some of the meals I've had.
[00:04]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	H-huh? What?
[00:04]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	I mean!
[00:04]	* [Gtz]Jacob	mouths
[00:04]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	(Don't say that please!)
[00:05]	* [kiri]Mui	run around the room, and returns with a small flag to put on the meat like that kid lunch set.
[00:05]	* [Nom]Franz	sobs into his handkerchief a bit
[00:12]	<[Gtz]Jacob>	[PHOTO RECIEVED! I mean, SAVE STATED!]
