Thread: Arkham's Education (Cain and AliceArkham)

The doctor quickly snatched up the little box in his hands, holding it like a father would his son after having through hed lost his child forever. He struggled to hold back his smile, occasionally letting his teeth gleam in a grin. He finally had it, something he had wanted for the longest time. His attentions were soon back on Alice, who was now on the other side of the locked room from him. Clearing his throat, he regained his composure, smoothing out any wrinkles on his lab coat before speaking. This.this box is a gift from the Joker. It contains the remnants of Victor Zsaszs teeth he lost in a fight with the Batman. I dont know how he got them, but he did, and he told me hed give them to me, Dr. Spelding said as he sat the box down beside himnot too far from him though. Victor was once a patient here, before my time. I guess you could say hes kind of the first of his kind, a murderous killer who would cut himself with tally marks after each kill. Well, this is where the box comes in. Once Victor was out of places on his skin, he had to get creative. So, taking a small knife and some hydrochloric acid, he began to etch additional tally marks into the backs of his teeth. That way, he could savor each kill by simply running his tongue over his teeth. Spelding smiled as he sat up a little, trying to look a little more professional. Itll all be in my paper on Zsasz, which I expect to submit for peer review later this month. The Joker has really been a gift for me here, hes given me insight to so many different patients here. If he werent a murderous psychopathic clown, hed make a decent psychologist. Spelding laughed at the joke he perceived as witty. When he noticed that Alice wasnt reacting, he cleared his throat and picked up the box. Well then, lets take a look he said as he opened the box. It was then that a burst of yellow dust exploded in Speldings face, much to his chagrin. He dropped the box, which contained no teeth but a small balloon filled with yellow powder which popped upon opening. What is this!? Spelding said as he looked to Alice, his teeth clenched as as moved towards her, What did you do with the teeth!? You stupid, dumb, little bitchI can keep you locked up here for all time, you know!!! The man shouted at her. As he took another step, Spelding began to notice that he was sweating a little more than usual. Wiping his brow of the perspiration with his hand, he began to breathe deeper. Looking at his hands a moment, he soon turned his attention back to Alice. You dirty cunt. he began, edging closer, No matter, I can always just take your teeth and mark them up to look like his. No one will know the difference! Spelding took another step, no longer fearing any repercussions of his actions. He would have his teeth. It was at Speldings next step that the room suddenly went dark. In fact, the whole Asylum went dark. Had the examination room not been soundproofed, both Spelding and Alice would have heard everyone outside in the cells yelling and hollering. Except for patient 1593156, his cell was dead silent. Inside the examination room, Alice could hear Spelding breathing deeper and deeper. He gasped at the air and fell silent. The room was pitch black and silent. It was only a moment though until Alice felt someone grab both of her arms by the wrists and move her from the edge of the room back into the center. She would hit the edge of the examination able, her chest on the soft cushion, bending over. Before she could move, the person was behind her, leaning over her and keeping her against the examination table. Dont move, the man said as he pressed something against her neck. It was a small scalpel, one youd expect to find in the surgery room here at Arkham, not the examination room, where sharps were not permitted. Move and youll die, he said as the edge of the blade pressed further against her neck. One of his legs kicked hers aside, forcing her so spread her legs a little. The blade firmly against her flesh, the assailants other hand began to creep down her side until it could sweep under her, caressing her between her legs through her Arkham uniform.
