[Closed] Agatha is finally getting around to dealing with her mom....

[ding_bots_are_done]

Who: Agatha Heterodyne and Fumi Kanno
Where: Castle Heterodyne
What: Unwise scientific experimentation.
Warnings: Lucrezia Mongfish None


[Agatha has gotten everything ready. One of the medical labs in the castle has been set up with as much monitoring equipment she could get her hands on. At the very least, she's going to get as much data as she can.

And now she's waiting for Fumi to arrive, nervously puttering around the lab. The castle is, for once, quiet. She's checked the settings on the suppressor, and the strength of the bindings on the slab several times already. Dingbots rush about around her feet, trying to help out. This is a pretty big risk she's taking. She hopes this isn't a mistake.]

I'll bring whatever talents I can contribute to her efforts as well.

[Fumi glances over to Agatha, lying there on the table.]

She is, after all, a friend.

[ding_bots_are_done]

You do seem to be remarkably capable for a non-intuitive engineer.

[Who doesn't love a backhanded complement? Sadly, that was the castle being nice.

It might have said more, but Agatha is finally stirring on the table.]

[terminally_clever]

[someday she will unravel your seeeeecrets]

Ah... back with us, I see.

[ding_bots_are_done]

Ugh...

[She shakes her head to try to clear some of the headache.]

I kind of thought it wouldn't be that easy. Can you unstrap me?

[terminally_clever]

Of course.

[Fumi double checks her laptop just to be sure before heading over to the table and doing just that.]

[ding_bots_are_done]

[Wise of her. Once the straps are gone, Agatha sits up and swings her legs off the table.]

I think the problem is that suppressor just isn't precise enough. It can't target the correct mind with enough force to make a difference.

[terminally_clever]

Well, thanks to that watch from before, I now have brainwave data for the Other stored on my laptop. Perhaps studying that will help with the appropriate modifications.

[ding_bots_are_done]

Ooh, good point! At least that gives us something to work with.

[She's turning over various ideas in her head when the castle interrupts. ]

The Lady Lucrezia did leave a message for you, Mistress.

Oh?

[That figures. God forbid she keep her mouth shut for five seconds so people could do simple experiments.]

[terminally_clever]

Ah, yes. 'May the stronger spark prevail.'

[ding_bots_are_done]

[Rolling her eyes over here.]

Why am I not surprised?

[/sigh]

I wish I knew what she was planning...

[terminally_clever]

With any luck, we won't have to find out.

[ding_bots_are_done]

Yeah.

[But worrying about it won't help. So she manages a smile.]

Well, that just means I'll have to work this out a little faster.

[terminally_clever]

Yes. Well. Good luck with that.

[ding_bots_are_done]

I'll need it. Thanks for helping me out.

Do you mind if I bother you when I'm ready to try again?

[terminally_clever]

That goes without saying. I never abandon research projects halfway through.

[ding_bots_are_done]

Heh, I should have expected that.

Want to join me for a post-experiment cup of tea?

[terminally_clever]

I think we've earned at least that much, yes.
