A Chat With Lady Jekyll

Previous
Dr Helen Jekyll: *barely gives the strange woman a glance, preoccupied with trying to get Catt comfortable enough to be moved* Thank you... But was it really necessary to hurt Mz. Hyde like that? She's normally not all that bad... *sighs*
Mz. Hyde: *The woman, as the first sign of some emotion, raises her eyebrow.* You mean to tell me you actually like her?
Dr Helen Jekyll: Well, yes, I do... And I've never liked seeing people hurt, no matter who they are. *she looks up at her, suddenly asking* Would you mind giving me your jacket? Catt is getting much too cold...
Mz. Hyde: No. I am not giving you, a pathetic excuse for a doctor and a human being, my jacket.
Dr Helen Jekyll: *she frowns* A simple no would have sufficed... *Helen said in a chilled tone before turning her gaze back to Catt*
Mz. Hyde: Tell me. Why are you two friends with someone as annoying, disgusting, and completely, utterly useless as her?
Dr Helen Jekyll: Well, I don't think I'm only speaking for myself when I say I think she's none of those things. Mz. Hyde is a valued member of the Society, just like everyone else. She's fun to talk to, usually very entertaining, and I think everyone would miss her if she were to disappear.
Mz. Hyde: Is that so?
Dr Helen Jekyll: Yes... So please do my friend and I a huge favor and bring her back?
Mz. Hyde: As you wish. *The woman reaches into her coat pocket and pulls something out.* Here. *She throws it to you and you catch it. It's a Mz. Hyde doll.*
Dr Helen Jekyll: *looks at the doll for a few seconds then back at the girl* What am I supposed to do with this?
Mz. Hyde: Set it down on a chair or bed, big enough for a real person, and she'll be there by tomorrow. Just... cover her up because those doll clothes don't grow with her.
Dr Helen Jekyll: Oh... *looks back down at the doll* What did you do to her in order for something like this to work?
Mz. Hyde: Nothing. She's always done this when things like this happens. I will be going now.*She turns to leave.*
Dr Helen Jekyll: Wait! *stands up, holding the doll delicately* Who are you? You look like Mz. Hyde...
Mz. Hyde: *She stops for a moment, and looks back at you with dead, icy blue eyes.* I am Lady Jekyll.
Dr Helen Jekyll: *frowns* But if you're Mz. Hyde's Jekyll, then why aren't you two the same person?
Mz. Hyde: This is a role­playing forum. Anything can happen.
Dr Helen Jekyll: Ah... So we're going to be breaking the fourth wall now... Alright... Well, you're not very kind to yourself...
Mz. Hyde: I am the personification of my creator's depression. Of course I'm not very kind to myself.
Dr Helen Jekyll: That makes sense, I suppose...
Mz. Hyde: Mz. Hyde is, therefore, the personification of my creator's happiness. She is usually like this IRL, except when things go...wrong.
Dr Helen Jekyll: When things go wrong? *frowns*
Mz. Hyde: She trusts people too easily.
Dr Helen Jekyll: I don't think that's a bad trait to have... I mean, as long as she doesn't do anything too dangerous, that is a good way to make friends.
Mz. Hyde: Trust is for fools. People will use you to their advantage.
Dr Helen Jekyll: Not everyone. Some people don't have the skill for it. Others would never dream of doing something like that.
Mz. Hyde: But it HAS happened. And it WILL happen again. That's why the two of us are like this in the first place.
Dr Helen Jekyll: Maybe it won't. Maybe she'll find someone she can trust!
Mz. Hyde: I highly doubt that. *She starts to walk away.*
Dr Helen Jekyll: *sighs, tugging on her hair...*
Mz. Hyde: *Lady Jekyll continues to walk away.*
Dr Helen Jekyll: *turns back towards Catt does the things she had been doing in the other chain with Catt*
Mz. Hyde: *Lady Jekyll walks off into the horizon, and out of sight.*
