[Open] Moving Day

[ding_bots_are_done]

Who: Agatha Heterodyne and OPEN
Where: Anywhere from the Pisces apartments to Castle Heterodyne in the Sagittarius district.
What: Now that her castle is in town, Agatha is moving out of the apartments.
Warnings: Snarky castle.


[While Agatha was away in Geartopia there was a new addition to the Sagittarius district. Castle Heterodyne. It's a bit of a handful, so the government simply blocked it off with caution tape until it's owner returned. Now that she's back, it's time to move back into her house.

Agatha hasn't been here long enough to amass a whole lot of stuff to move, so she's trying to get everything in one trip. So she can be found heading across the city, several boxes stacked up in her arms. Careful, they're blocking her view so she may run into someone. Possibly you. She is being followed by a dozen tiny dingbots, all carrying smaller boxes.

Bother her while she's packing? Run into her while she's moving? Offer to help carry stuff? Or maybe you're just curious who owns that horrible foreboding castle. Your choice.]

A tour? But you haven't even formally introduced us yet.

[ding_bots_are_done]

[Well, she asked for it.]

Alright then, Fumi, this is Castle Heterodyne.

[She gestures grandly toward some vague point on the ceiling.]

Castle, this is Fumi. She's a friend and colleague.

[Better to stress that before the castle gets ideas about messing with her.]

It's pleasure to meet you, Miss. Any friend of the Lady Heterodyne is always welcome here.

[terminally_clever]

Likewise.

[Fumi glances up at the ceiling, unable to help but smile a little.]

[ding_bots_are_done]

What would you like to see first? Perhaps the red playroom? Or the library? I've a lovely conservatory, if you happen to like plants.

Actually, I think we ought to skip the conservatory for now.

[Agatha makes a mental note to rid the conservatory of all the carnivorous plants later. The castle makes a small noise of disappointment.]

[terminally_clever]

I was hoping we could start with the labs.

[ding_bots_are_done]

Ah, an excellent choice. I am equipped with a vast array of specialized laboratory areas that-

[With a wave of her hand, Agatha cuts the castle off.]

We'll just start with the closest one.

Oh, very well. Down the side corridor to your left then.

Shall we?

[terminally_clever]

Lead the way.

[Fumi is going to be smiling this entire time, she just knows it.]

[ding_bots_are_done]

[Down the corridor is a large medical lab, full of strange devices with colorful labels like 'the artful blood drainer,' the 'amusing octo electrocuter,' the 'human to pet brain transplant device,' and the 'scream emulator.' The castle will proudly narrate the tour.]

This is the Red Playroom, the favorite laboratory of Iago Heterodyne. He had a particular interest in medical science.

[Agatha sighs.]

My relatives were.... colorful.

[Upon closer inspection, some of the device show signs of recent tinkering, and a few have been redesigned to suit new purposes.]

[terminally_clever]

[This was a good place to start. Fumi's own research dovetails nicely with medical technology.]

Do these still work?

[ding_bots_are_done]

Most of them. A few had to be recently.... re-purposed.

[The castle will helpfully add to that.]

If this equipment isn't satisfactory, there are a number of other medical labs to choose from.

That too. This place has more labs than bedrooms.

[terminally_clever]

I like it already.
