Message: <blockquote data-quote="Graf" data-source="post: 3970781" data-attributes="member: 3087">Interlude: Archer and Cole[sblock=@LB's]LB's Private FloorArcher and Cole awoke this evening to find that a polite note from Raghunandan suggesting that they "Stay in this evening"The doors of their rooms seem to be securely fastened by some sort of 4-way bolt system; locking them in. Following the instructions has not proved difficult.A few hours after dusk they are disturbed by a loud booming sound.[sblock=Archer]If Archer turns up his senses he can hear the sound of LB bellowing curses as he moves down the hall. He can also make out Raghunandan  saying "Yes. We'll need one car for the hospital."[/sblock]LB kicks in Cole's door. "RIP!"LB kicks in Archer's door. "GUMS!"LB's face is a sickly purple, a twisting mask of barely controlled rage. "Get your a__es to Blackies'! Now! And I mean f______ now!" LB continues to move down the corridor. Every few feet he pauses to kick or punch a wall or doorway.Raghunandan, looking very much like a low rent butler, trails behind him carrying a phone (with a very long cord) in one hand and a leather duster tucked over the other. "And another car." he says into the receiver "Two gentlemen will be traveling to Miss Blackcoat's."Through the haze created by damaged concrete and plaster the "two gentlemen" can see the source of the original boom, . It appears someone launched LB's massive hardwood desk through the double doors of his office. What remains of it is embedded in the wall of the hallway.LB summons the elevator by repeatedly driving his foot through the button panel. "You know what she says to me? Tha first f______ thing she says?" LB snarls.Raghunandan sets down the phone and waits patiently."She says ah don't usually speak to two hundred-year-olds but ah'll make a f______ exception since youh are the f______ Prince! To me!"Raghunandan proffers LB his duster. LB puts it on. The Indian man seizes the moment "You did mention something to me about elevators the other day.""Ah'm f______ calm." LB struggles to develop some sort of control over himself."Of course. It's just that you asked me to...""Fine! Reggie!"The elevator arrives and both men get it. LB, still purple, continues in a more conversational one. "I'm gonna tear her arms off. And her legs...." the prince's voice is cut off by the closing of the elevator doors.[sblock=Archer]Archer splices his way though the sounds of the elevator motor, the quiet slide of the rails, to makes out a little bit more of the rant "no. Ah'm gonna feed them to her.... NO! She's gonna perform those f______ experiments she does on her..." the prince's his voice dwindles out of even Archer's enhanced hearing.[/sblock][/sblock]</blockquote>
