caughtinanetwork | Song 2 > Video > Marceline's Evil Plot of Deviousness

[Have some high pitched cackling and some flame flaring up on the screen of your SFCs, Vatheon. When the fire clears, it reveals a dim but dramatically lit room somewhere and who else but your resident Vampire Queen? She's sporting a diabolical grin on her face, revealing all of her very sharp teeth, and...]

[Huh. Okay. That sure is a dress she's wearing in shades of dim purple and bright red accents. It's probably a good question as to where she got it and the ~~fake~~ crown on her head. However, a far better question to ask might have to do with the lineup of men all tied and hung up with rope on the wall behind her.]

[Anyone who's been in Vatheon long enough will probably be able to recognize some of the host club's members- Peony and Angelo are obviously the ones who stand out the most as the heads, but there's also Rin, Fai, Duke, Ronald, and Ioder, too. They are CLEARLY all captive, seeing as they are tied up and there are pieces of cloth around their mouths.]

[After she's gotten her cackling down with- hey, as a villain, she has to have a memorable laugh. It's all about standards, you know- Marceline finally speaks to the SFC.]

Hello, people of Vatheon. For a few months, I've been hiding my TRUE villainous nature from you as I've watched and studied your pitiful population. Now, I've chosen to strike and start my campaign to rule over the entire city! To begin with, I've kidnapped all of these pretty handsome dudes and will turn them into my vampire slaves!

[Ironically, she gestures to Fai as she says this.]

I'm a Vampire Queen, it's kind of what I do.

Anyway, IF YOU WISH TO RESCUE THEM from a life of slavery and bloodsucking and stop my evil plan before I unleash them onto the city tonight to spread the plague of vampirism, then come face me if you dare!

Oh, right, but I forgot. [She flicks her hand out to inspect her nails smugly.] Vatheon doesn't have any heroes. You're all a bunch of scared little mice cowering in your holes.

If there's anyone who thinks they can challenge that... You have until-

TONIGHT!

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!

[Another flare up of flames over the screen, and then the video stops. Will anyone in Vatheon step up and stop this Mistress of Horrible Evil before totally legit terrible things happen!?!?]

[Action]

[With the SFC shut off, Marceline swoops on over to her 'captives' and slices through their ropes with a clawed hand.]

Alright, so, I'm thinking maybe game night? [She starts to wiggle out of her dress, revealing a plain tank top and shorts.] I haven't actually played any of these games, but hey, it looks fun and stuff. [The dress is tossed aside as she wanders over to a stack of video games and rifles through them.]

Grand Theft Fish, Boat Soccer, Coralcraft... Pick whatever, I guess.

[ Meanwhile there's this guy who seems pretty relaxed about the whole thing. He settles himself near the wall, fashioning his gag into a rather fitting looking neckerchief. ]

You know, a life of bloodsucking and slavery doesn't sound so bad, mind! I mean, we've got food, entertainment...

I know, right?

[She wanders over, tossing an apple from one hand to another.]

I didn't get the 'slave' part of that deal, but immortality is the best thing I ever decided to do, along with all the added bonuses.

The bonuses are pretty ace, yeah... course, you ever get lonely from it?

[ Leaning against the wall, watching everyone. ]

Immortality's got its perks, though you've to admit that.

Nah, not really.

[Whoops is she lying good thing she doesn't care]

There's always stuff to do, y'know? People to meet, stuff to do, all sorts. I got to watch kingdoms figure themselves out right from the start, it was kinda cool.

Y'know, wager you've got a point. Always something to see. 'Course, you can't help but miss things, eh?

[ Raising brow, deciding not to pry because what is being respectful of a lady's weaknesses? So... topic change. Head cocked at one of the game systems. ]

So! Care to tell a bloke about the setup you've got for us here?

Video games, jeez, I might have to start a step by step video on this sorta thing if everyone is as clueless as you guys.

[But she's laughing, so she's not too annoyed yet]

You play as a little person in a fake world and do a bunch of stuff, is the basic bit of it. Different games let you be different people and do different stuff in different places.

You'll have to pardon a bloke for coming from a period before any of this! I wasn't even aware of a... [ Pause, glance over. ] a... I'd wager you lot call it a telly, I believe... before this city

[ But have a grin. He's interested. ]

Are there any sort two people can play?

[Griiiiin]

All sorts. Whatcha in the mood for? Action-y or relaxed?

[ Have a grin right back as he pulls himself away from the wall and plops himself down in front of one of the consoles. ]

Got anything that's a challenge then?

[She cracks her knuckles and grabs her own controller.]

Fishy Fantasy Disagea is a fighting game, and, more specifically, it's the fighting game I'm gonna beat your butt in.

[ Alright, now this he likes. ]

You're on then! Could never back down from a challenge, much less one phrased in that tone!

[Anya doesn't immediately speak to this guy when considering which captives to "rescue." But she does spend some time looking him over and trying to decide whether the glasses work for her or not. Probably a long enough time to be uncomfortable, unless of course he enjoys being ogled.]

[ Oh, he notices the staring. It isn't creepy at all. In fact, he seems to welcome it. He meets Anya's eyes for a brief second before approaching though. ]

Something caught your eye, miss?

Maybe. You wouldn't wear those glasses during sex, would you?

Depends on the company.

[ Hands in his pockets as he leans in slightly. ]

If they asked me to, I'd keep them on.

I'm more of the opinion that they should come off.

I wouldn't say no to a request from a pretty lass such as yourself, specially such a forward request.

[ Smirking back. Who cares if he can't see without his glasses? Who needs 20/20 vision when you're busy? ]

I don't see the point of tiptoeing around it.

[She steps closer and reaches to take his glasses off herself. This requires inspection before anyone gets busy.]

I like the way you think.

[ His arms remained folded behind his back until she reaches to take his glasses off. ]

These're precious, mind. But if you want to see, well...

[ He slips them off, tucking them safely into the pocket of his coat. His eyes are more prominent now and she would probably notice that they're two colors: green and rimmed with yellow rather than a solid green. ]

Does it meet your standards, then?

Edited 2013-07-08 00:40 (UTC)

Oh, that's not bad at all. We shouldn't have to turn the lights off.

So just how blind are you? Do you need to put them back on to find your way out?

In your case, it'd be a bleeding shame if you wanted the lights off. Depriving a bloke of the fine sight you are... a bleeding shame indeed.

[ Pause to think. ]

I'd prolly need to see my way out, make sure I had them back before leaving. Why?

Well, I don't really want you falling all over me until we're back at my apartment.

[ Faked kidnappings are the best places to hook up. ]

Now that most certainly is a can-do. But blimey, here we are planning the night away and I've barely caught hold of your name.

Oh, right. You'll need to know that for when you're screaming it.

[She offers a hand.]

I'm Anya.

And you'll prolly need mine for the same reason.

[ And where a handshake is expected, he delivers a kiss to the back of her hand instead. ]

Ronald. Pleasure's all mine, Miss Anya.
