A. Morning; Around Mayfield
[Klaus is taking his adorable class of drone kindergartners on another field trip around town today! And guess what the subject is? The people of the town and how they all, to a one, have some horrible and irredeemable flaw. If he knows you? That flaw is going to be very specific. But can you really get mad at him in

Garviel! Help me subdue him, would you?
Pfft, it's probably against that ridiculous Code of Honor of his to interfere!

Would you like to know what else is annoying--
[PodKlaus, have fun getting punched in the face.]
No.

[He sighs. He scowls. He mutters under his breath. He is soooo inclined to leave Klaus trapped. So very... After all. It's Kluas-Evil-Overlord-Wulfenbach, after all. Let HIM rescue himself!]
[But....]
[No. He will rescue the idiot. Tarvek goes to his garage, collects an assortment of devices, quickly sparks together a small one-man rescue balloon, and dumps them all in his hot little red convertible. He proceeds to race on over to Klaus' Haus. As he's inflating the mini-balloon, he shouts up,]
Wulfenbach, you're going to owe me for this. I am RESCUING you.
Be prepared to be saved. Idiot.

The Castle, however, drifts on the end of its tether, as though trying to keep away from Tarvek's (much more practical) balloon.]

[Undervoice.]
Damned idiot Wulfenbach has to be in verdammt Mayfield. Of course. What else should I expect? [heavy, world-shattering sigh] Red lightening, the man is such a nuisance.
[He reaches the pod, and begins to cautiously cut into it, then thinks better of the entire notion. After all, does he want to try to pick Klaus loose in mid-air, with the man kvetching and pissing the whole time? Nooooooooo! Instead he maneuvers util the pod is safely in the basket of the balloon -- which takes some strength and some leverage, let me tell you! -- and then cuts the pod free from Castle Wulfenbach.]
Like cleaning a booger off the nose of your blimp. Such a cute little blimp, too.
[He descends, settles, and begins to free Klaus, not bothering to get out of the basket. Soon enough he has Klaus' head worked free.]

And don't call Baby Castle Wulfenbach cute.
Even if it totally is.
At least Tarvek has the good graces to finally cut him free, which allows him to regain consciousness. OH BY THE WAY THERE IS GOO IN THE POD. GREEN GOO.]
... Ugh, what... Sturmvoraus? What is going on?

He's in the middle of taking a gulp of coffee from his thermos when Klaus and his class come wandering past. Hey! Klaus! How long had it been since they had talked? They had gotten on just great! He hastily swallows that mouthful of coffee, and calls out.]
Klaus! Hello there! Boy, am I glad to see you...

Mr. Wulfenbach, who's that? Do you know him?
Ah, yes, class. This is a good example of one of those people who is doomed to failure and unfortunately does not know when to quit. Tragic, really.
Reply
Ah, Klaus, if you could...
[Requests to keep the little darlings away fizzled on launch. He's left there, jaw hanging slightly open, looking wounded.]
...now, now wait just a minute! You haven't even seen my lair! I have been working on it! I am making ACTUAL PROGRESS!

Oh, I'm sure you are! Tell me: how close are you to completing a death ray? A monstrous construct minion? An army of well-armed war clanks?
Oh. That's right. You're more preoccupied with mad science on par with the creations of a five year old.

Why yes there is.

Excuse me? I wasn't talking to you. This is a rude person, children. I suggest not paying him any attention.

That's another important lesson, children. Proper use of the English language is important if you want others to take you seriously.
