Clank One: Sheer and Utter Panic

[deathraygoboom]

 [Action for 452 Stone Street: Agatha wakes up having no idea where she is.

That is sadly not as strange as it should be. There is now a frantic girl tearing the room apart looking for something, clearly she's somehow managed to keep her mother out, but who knows how long that's going to last. She needs to find her locket. In her search she manages

[ooeeooahah]

You are in Mayfield. The name doesn't tell you much, I know.

Whatever you are missing, it wasn't lost. It was taken, no mater if it was a personal effect or special ability.

Whatever brought us here just brought you here, without -er- accessories.

Tarvek Comes to Agatha's House...

[velesdonnersen]

[While she is entertaining Ilsa...]

[Knock-knock! Tarvek is at the front door, looking...sweet. It's the Nice Boy.]

Hello? Agatha? Are you home?

[deathraygoboom]

[If by entertaining you mean cleaning up the kitchen from failed death ray attempt number one. She'll go to the door and....]

Tarvek!

[As annoyed as she sounded she looks happy to see him.]

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa will just finish with the scorch marks and let them greet each other. ]

Tarvek's Mun

[velesdonnersen]

Tarvek's Mun is unsure whether Tarvek can see Ilsa from the front door, of whether he won't see her until he's brought into the kitchen. Any of you have an opinion?

He's going to be in bad shape regardless. It's been a rough morning for him already.

[deathraygoboom]

[Let's go with option 2?]

Works for me!

[velesdonnersen]

Ok, we will play it as Tarvek clueless, Agatha clueless on context, and Ilsa the only one with a fair number of the facts.

[velesdonnersen]

[Happy, affectionate, a bit Victorian GG-boy bashful, and Very Gentlemanly. She may perhaps sense he's less armored here than he was in Europa: here in Mayfield he's begun to let down a few of his shields, among other things.]

Agatha. I'm -- sorry they kidnapped you. But it's so good to see you. I missed you.

[He'd hug her. But he's still both bashful and Victorian, and it's not the sort of emergency that caused him to actually invite her to lean on him in Sturmhalten. Nor is he all Madboy and likely to sweep her into his arms. However he does shift, and open his stance and arms, slightly. If she decided to hug him this time, he'd be more prepared than he was when she hugged him in Castle Wulfenbach.]

[deathraygoboom]

[Hugs! Yes! Have a hug from the excitable spark.]

This place is insane! Have you seen Zeetha yet? They even changed her hair!

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa starts making coffee, if Agatha hasn't disassembled the percolator. ]

[velesdonnersen]

[He's happy to give her a real hug. (heh) He's had some practice here in Mayfield, though he's not quite thinking about that yet...he's just trying to take in that Agatha's here... and now --}

Princess Zeetha! No, I hadn't realized. But it's been a fairly...disturbing morning. And I don't follow the phones as well as some do.

[Dark and baleful]

Whatever they did to her hair, it can't be worse than giving me back the stupid glasses I had as a kid. Though...

[Oh, blushing Tarvek. It's just dawned on him that his love-life just got very complicated.]

[mumble]

I, er, do have a friend who likes these on me.

Agatha... I...

I didn't expect you here. I thought... I thought I was just a copy of the original Tarvek, and likely to be here without any of you but Klaus and Lucrezia forever. I've got...

Um.

Yeah.

I have friends, here. I think you'll have to meet them.

1/2

[deathraygoboom]

[Oblivious. Pulls away from the hug.]

Of course!

2/2

[deathraygoboom]

Wait...you thought you were here forever...

You at least tried to get back didn't you?

[...confused Agatha looks a little hurt.]

.....you know we need to go back, don't you?

Re: 2/2

[velesdonnersen]

1Agatha, there's not much to try. Blue-fire!

I have no spark, I don't know where "back" is, I don't know how I was brought here -- but if my suspicions are right I'm no more than a recording of me downloaded into a drone body or something.

Agatha, again: I don't know of anyone at all who's gotten back, or who has any idea of how to even start, and that includes Klaus. And Klaus has his spark back.

I don't know how to try, and I really think there's no place for a "me" to go back to...unless I haunt myself like your mother haunted you. If you come up with a way to try, let me know. But I can't even think of anything... and neither can anyone else I know of.

[ooeeooahah]

[ As if he didn't have enough to deal with, Ilsa calls from the kitchen. ]

Arguing on the first day she's here doesn't sound like a great idea.

[deathraygoboom]

[Agatha just ignores the voice, focussing on Tarvek]

You can't just....give up! What if you're wrong?! What if we are the real versions of ourselves!

I'm not letting everything we worked for be thrown away because of some kidnapping! I need to get back to the Castle and I'm going to find a way to do it.
