Circe's Manor

[AmbushCat]

*Aldonza reaches into her pocket, pulls out the equivalent of ten dollars, and gives it to Circe.*

You should give that to her later.

*Ambush Cat resists the urge to facefault at the shift in moods.*

[Circe]

Hm? For what?

[AmbushCat]

Well, considering how much walking she's done bringing those messages to and from the gym, that has to be a fair amount of exercise right there.

[Circe]

Ah, yes. I hadn't considered that.

[Kumi-chan]

The men are still waiting there. They have yet to do a thing as of yet. They are just waiting.

[Circe]

*The maid arrives at the gate.* We're terribly sorry, but the boy is in no shape to travel at thew moment.

[Kumi-chan]

"Then let us see him then." The man responds to her waiting.

[Circe]

I'm afraid I can't. He's very delicate, you see. Wouldn't want to disturb him.

[Kumi-chan]

"That's too bad." He motions back. The man at the car pulls out an advance looking machine, it looks something like a canon. He brings it over and they start to power it up. The machine begins to whirl and buzz, the maid notices that it is starting to get hot. The gate starts to heat up.

[Circe]

Oh, crap! *The maid runs inside and up to the gym once more. How did she get there so fast...?* Miss Circe! Miss Circe! The men outside have some kind of heat cannon aimed at the gate! They're trying to break in!

Oh, you've got to be kidding me... *Circe teleports down to the front gate, behind the men.* Okay, what the hell's your problem?

[Kumi-chan]

The man steps up to Circe. "We are under orders to take any measures necessary to retrieve the boy. We tried talking but clearly that doesn't work with you."

[Circe]

Maybe if you'd actually told us what you wanted with him, we'd consider letting him go.

[Kumi-chan]

"I told the maid. He is our boss's son. We need to return him to his father." The man states as the others watch Circe.

[Circe]

She already told me that, and I'm not buying it.

[Marky]

Mark suddenly shows up outside of the manor, having been the Mary inside the manor (that was being oddly quiet) before being turned back to normal.
