The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Pavlov raises a snowy eyebrow at the twins, face calm, but eyes betraying worry.

 

"My dear children... I fear you are the victim of hysteria. I am a well-known actor, to be sure, who has made a name for himself in frigtening people.

 

But that is all I have ever done." So saying, he spreads his hands slightly apart, as if in supplication. "No matter how many things you may hear about Hollywood, we will not do 'anything for fame'. At least, I will not." His hands rest again, one at his side, one on a chair. " Human life is sacred to me, and to be protected."

 

His brows knit together in consternation, the end effect of the deeper wrinkling of his weathered face and joining of his thick eyebrows looking rather like snow-covered mountains in the middle of a desert. He looks sad, but not in a way that seems recent.

His eyes reflect some old pain dredged forth anew. Finally, he sighs slowly.

 

Composing himself again, Morris once again addresses the twins coolly and politely.

 

"I also have much experience of people reacting immediately with fear of that which they do not understand. The characters and creatures I play being a good example."

 

One corner of his mouth quirks up in the ghost of a smile for an instant.

 

"I do not blame you; I understand the reaction. Since my prescence is only upsetting where I sought to sow peace, I shall remove myself immediately."

Heinrich pulled a chair over to the corner of the room and tried to make himself comfortable, his hands shaking slightly as he lit his home-made dog end. First Greta, then one of the visitors. Idly he wondered if anyone else was gonna cop it, before waving the thought aside as being foolish. Of course more people would die. It was the way of the world. Just so long as he wasn't one of them...

Kerri doesn't notice right away that Timmy has left, her grief taking over. Slowly it sinks in that he was talking and now isn't - she jumps up.

 

"Where did Timmy go?"

 

"He got jealous and ran off that way, sis."

 

"He could get hurt." Glancing at the actor, she continues, "If I'm wrong about him, or if he has a partner, then there's no place safe for any of us."

 

Looking her sister in the eyes, she doesn't even need to ask if she's coming. They both rush off, leaving Zach slightly behind in what's going on, but he follows.

*scribble scribble*...explosion...earthquake...crazy scientist...crash...acid rain...bodies...the lab...alien shoe, clothes...the mud...scientist runs away...Albert *choke*...bomb...*Jamia's pencil scratches furiously as she runs over all the clues she can remember*

 

Jamia: *sigh* Poor Al. He drove me nuts, but I...I miss him. I know he wouldn't have agreed, but looking over these clues, I still can't come to any other conclusion, but that our dear Explosive Specialist, Ed Smith is behind all this. I should have stuck with my first instinct.

 

OOC: Vote for Eyremon/Ed "Wood" ;)

 

BIC: Sitting on the floor in a remote hallway corner, with her knees drawn up under her chin, Jamia is so deeply into her notes and her thoughts that she doesn't immediately notice the small boy walking dejectedly up the corridor toward her. Timmy drags his feet and hangs his head. He walks right up to her and, turning his back to the wall, slides down next to the goth beatnik girl.

 

Timmy: Hi. -_-

 

Jamia: http://www.themightypen.net/public/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif Oh, hi Timmy. What are you doing here? Where are your sisters?

 

Timmy: They're with that scary Zach. I don't like him! He hurt Albert!

 

Jamia: Aww, I know, buddy. He didn't mean it, tho. He was just scared like the rest of us.

 

Timmy: Albert wasn't scared! Albert was smart! He would know what to do now!

 

Jamia: You're right, Timmy. Albert was smart. But, you know what? We're smart, too. We can figure this out. Look, I've been writing down everything I can remember that's happened to us since we got here. Can you remember anything to add to my list?

 

Timmy: *concentrates for a long minute* umm...Hey! That funny-talking lady and the dark man who likes the stars knew each other...she was trying really hard to pretend she didn't know him, but she got him into here before the 'splosion happened. He's a 'Strologer!

 

Jamia: *giggles* Timmy, he's an ASTRONOMER! What you said is another name for a fortune-teller! ;)

 

Timmy: :unsure: As-tro-lo...er...tro-no-mer?

 

Jamia: That's right. Like As-tro-naut! Would you like to be an astronaut, Timmy?

 

Timmy: :) Can I take Bubba and Martin with me into space? * pulls out his pets and shoves them under Jamia's nose*

 

Jamia: :rolleyes: Sure thing, buddy! They'll be the first reptile and amphibian on the moon!

 

Timmy: Reptile and fibby-what? :blink:

 

Jamia: *giggle* Nevermind, Timmy. *climbs to her feet* Let's go find something to eat. Maybe there's a freezer stocked with ice cream, huh?

 

Timmy: YUM!

ya might want to get those instincts of yours checked out. they seem to be a widge off. why does nobody else suspect the security guard. he knows this place in and out. and for the last time people I INSTALLED THE CAMERAS!!!!!

Posted

Timmy skips along as he sticks with Jamia on the hunt for ice cream, all the while trying to whistle, but only succeeding in making a blowing noise.

 

After a few seconds he stops and looks at Jamia and switches to walking.

 

"I hope they have chocolate! That's my favorite! :D"

(OOC: That would make this a good time for *me* to cast a vote, yes? :blink: )

 

Hmm. Too often can the rigors of social warfare crush winner and loser in the battles that are our teenage years. I wonder about that Zachary boy. One love triangle is historically one too many, my son.

I wonder about that Zachary boy. One love triangle is historically one too many, my son.

Terri overhears Pavlov's mutterings and, completely losing her temper, walks to him very purposefully.

 

LOVE TRIANGLE?? WHERE DID YOU SEE ANY LOVE TRIANGLE, YOUR SORRY ACTOR???

 

Although shorter than him, Terri looks at him without any fear and stares him down.

 

Zach loves ME and JUST ME! There's NO LOVE TRIANGLE! HOW DARE YOU saying such thing? Are you one of those STUPID ADULTS that look at an adolescent in love and think it's not possibly love, JUST BECAUSE WE ARE YOUNG? Are you one of those who think that because we are twins, we just share everthing, INCLUDING BOYFRIENDS? Do you think a boy can get that confused over the two of us, without knowing the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE AND THE OTHER??

 

She pokes her finger on his chest, angrily.

 

DO YOU THINK MY OWN SISTER WOULD BETRAY ME? And DON'T YOU HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR HER?? She LOST a boy she LOVED!! How DARE you saying that she would take Zach from me??

 

YOU ARE DESPICABLE! If you DARE accusing Zach, SO GO ON AND ACCUSE ME ALSO! I'M SO INVOLVED IN YOUR LOVE TRIANGLE AS HIM!!

 

Zach rushes in, dragging her away from Pavlov while she's still shouting at him. He holds her and speaks carefully, not willing to get her screaming at him also.

 

"Ter, stop this. Please. I don't need you going over everybody who whispers against me. I can take care of this. Don't you go putting yourself in danger. "

 

Terri stops screaming, then sags in Zach's arms.

 

Sorry... sorry, sorry, sorry... I'm just so scared... Albert's dead... and that explosion... *sobs* I can't stand people not trusting you... *sobs* I want to go home... *sobs* I want to go home...

 

Zach sighs, just holding her.

"My dear girl...I had thought you didn't want me in your prescence, as I was too distressing.

 

Why then, are you following me?"

 

Morris looks old and tired at this, but still concerned- and confused, as he gazes at Terri in the far hallway he had retreated to in the face of her earlier attacks.

Posted

When Terri gets distracted by Morris Pavlov in the hallway, Kerri is thinking to herself, Yeah.. no triangle at all... Zach... Albert sniff poor Albert...

 

Zach drags her away, and Kerri beckons them both. "It's not worth arguing with that man. C'mon, lets get Timmy!"

Greg finds Timmy walking with Jamia and seeing the two walk together, he wanders off, letting the two have thier bonding moment. He ponders on the actions of Greta. When he had first run into her, she let him into the building and signed him up for the tour and then totally ignored him afterwards. He wasn't surprised, He met her while he was studying overseas in college and he hadn't been the most popular guy. He asked her out on a date once but he hadn't recieved the answer he was looking for. Rumors had been circulating, rumors were always circulating, it seemed. Well let them have thier gossip, he had other plans with what to do with his life.

Timmy and Jamia finally find the kitchen, and make a beeline for the freezer which opens to a glorious sight - a half-gallon of Neopolitan ice cream. :) There're initials written on the carton, though.

 

Jamia: Huh, looks like this belongs to someone...

 

Timmy: G...V...R... <_<

 

Jamia: :rolleyes: Oh! Greta Von Richter! She won't be eating this! Pull up a chair, Tims! I'll see if I can find us some bowls.

 

Timmy: Yaayy! *singing* We're gonna have some ice cream! We're gonna have some ice cream!

 

Soon the two are sitting at a stainless steel worktable in the kitchen, each with a big bowl of pink, brown, and white frozen confection in front of them. The carton is not to be seen, but a scoop is laid aside, forgotten, dripping slowly onto the table. :P

Posted

YUM!!! :D

 

Timmy happily eats his ice cream. First he mashes it all down with his spoon into a nice slush, then then starts eating it like soup.

Posted

After carefully searching all the rooms, the theatre, the mess hall, the twins and Zach finally stumble upon Timmy in the kitchens with Jamia.

 

"You had us so worried!" the twins say together.

"I guess we didn't need to be," Terri pronounces, looking at Jamia.

"Still, you could have been hurt, Timmy," adds Kerri.

"Please don't run off again." at the same time.

 

"Aaaw, I'm just eating ice cream." whines the little boy, still looking wary of Zach.

 

"Timmy, I apologized before but I'll say it again. I'm sorry for going against Albert and for scaring you. I've voted now how he did the first night. Won't you forgive me and do the same?"

 

"Albert knew everything!" chimes in Kerri, a tear sliding down her face.

 

"We trust him." says Terri solemnly.

 

"Could I have some ice cream, too?" says Kerri.

Posted

Help yourself ;) It's in the freezer *points*, and the bowls and spoons are over there *points*. There must be more stools around here somewhere... *looks around*

Posted (edited)

Kerri looks at Terri, then both smile happily. Kerri gets the ice cream, Terri gets the bowls and spoons, and Zach soon brings three more stools. Terri gives Zach a generous scoop, then another one, bigger, to Timmy when he asks it. As Kerri looks at her with a pout, she laughs and gives her an even bigger scoop.

 

"YUMMMM..."

 

Soon all five are chattering in a relaxed way, for a while forgetting all the scaring stuff happening around there.
