Off to the Island

[giant_among_men]

"Antoinette! We're leaving! Pack your things!"

"Yes, Miguelito. Where are we going?"

"We're going... off to our desert island. I don't want to see anything mechanical. Horrible things!"

"Yes, Miguelito."

"It tried to kill me!"

"Poor Miguelito!

"I think that I cut myself, escaping from it!" *holds up finger to show a scratch*

Oh, poor

In Artemus Gordon's train laboratory, Rakj'a watched the image shaman_x was projecting. Her eyes narrowed as they saw Antoinette leave the mansion, wearing an arrangement most suited to a lady travelling into town. Professor Loveless stood on the steps, waving her goodbye, a glint of gold on his upraised hand.

"That's our 'Go'." murmured Rak, and her heartrate picked up in anticipation. "Mr Gordon, if you'd be so kind as to intercept the lady to make sure she doesn't return unexpectedly, we'll see to the rest of the plan."

Artemus bows with a flourish and replies, "It would be my pleasure."

"Thank you, Mr Gordon."

Rak sighed, and turned to her companions. "OK, people - dress me and mess me."

It was some little while later. Rak looked up toward the highest level of Loveless's mansion, just visible past the tree tops, and tried not to scratch.

She was wearing an approximation of the clothes Antoinette had left the house in - a dove grey dress and a demure travelling jacket. It had broken her heart to have to damage the clothes with tearing and a liberal dousing of butcher-shop blood, even though the end effect was suitably gruesome. Her upswept hairstyle had been grabbed and dragged, dislodging the combs and scattering the curls across her face, where it had been encouraged to stick through the application of more blood.

Her face itself was sporting a growing bruise from where Arusha, for realism's sake, had landed a hefty right cross, and her palms were grazed from the resultant fall. And it itched. But that would have to be lived with.

She glanced over at KITT, waiting quietly and somewhat pensively beside her, and sighed.

"OK, let's go. It's now or never."

*sighs, steeling himself*

I'm ready when you are.

Rak climbed in and settled into the seat.

"Call to him as we approach, like you're calling for help. It's OK to sound frightened or panicked, that'd fit with the situation. Pull up close outside the mansion and pop the door so he can see me."

[ki2k]

Will do. Here goes nothing. Or everything.

*pulls up, revving engine menacingly, taunting Loveless*
