Pace sighed. "You mean well.

Street smarts aren't smart smarts Dr. Ms. Give him a job or a shilling or what have you, but don't give him false hope that a rat can be a king. Besides, the Society's reputation is bad enough already, and if you can't say no to an able-bodied smart mouth you're not going to be able to stop yourself from turning the whole building into a poorhouse."

( A thin, gaunt looking girl jumps down from above and lands on all fours like a cat. She springs to her feet and gives the orphan a sideways look. Blood drips from her straitjacket, audibly splashing to the ground, forming a small puddle. Her bright red eyes shimmer in the gaslight, exactly matching the tint on her drenched clothes. Her lips part, revealing jagged and shark like teeth, before she decides on what to say. Her voice is gruff but young, like so many urchin boys. ) Yer a funny sort. ( She reaches into her straitjacket and pulls out a chunk of raw meat, also dripping with blood. On her left ring finger sits a wedding band. It looks out of place against the backdrop of her otherwise shabby appearance. She hands the meat to the urchin. ) Best eaten cooked. It doesn't go down too nice wiffout a good foir. Beggin' doesn' do too well in these parts, but 'untin' always ensures a good meal. ( she flashes the orphan a slasher smile. She adds menacingly ) an' Oi'd b'careful wiff makin' fun o' our names if Oi was you. Some of us are damned proud to be 'ydes. ( With that, she scales with equal cat-like ease and disappears, only a puddle of blood where she remained. )

Richard walks up to the newcomer without the usual aid of his cane, yet with the same patchworked outfit, leather apron, hat, and crystalline-looking eyepatch he always had, with a scarf draped around his shoulders and mouth. Tilting his head in a manner jarringly similar to a curious owl or wolf, the shabby doctor speaks, a soft voice draped in a vaguely Irish accent permeating the air.

"Greetings. Who might you be?"

Sorry. \*She says, smiling sheepishly.\* It's just a funny question to ask in a building of "mad" scientists.

Well, I doubt he knows much about this place... Besides, can't you see he's scared? \*her tone turns worried\*

Understandably so, I suppose. But are you quite sure it's not just Mz. Hyde popping up all the time that has him on edge?

That is obviously part of it... I'm just trying to do what I can to make this not as frightening and shocking for him... \*pats Sams head gently, sighing\*

Thank you, Catt. \*She smiles faintly. Her hand still rested on Sams hair.\*

Well, I best be taking him to a room. Lovely seeing you, Catt. \*Helen lifted her hand, giving a small wave and a smile before turning to leave\*

(Two things: 1. Helen has very strong protective instincts, as shown in the Hypothermia Arch and here in her care of Sam. 2. These roleplays end up like spiderwebs, the way everyone replies to the same thing differently and it branches off to create a completely different scenario.)

See you later Helen! \*Catt waves back and heads to her room in the basement.\*

(1. I've noticed. She's a really sweet gal. 2. Yeah, I think that's due in part to the venue. This was meant to be a discussion forum, as opposed to an RP one. But we make due. By the way, I'm using your conversation with Lady Jekyll instead of mine. My writing was terrible and way off for how Catt would react. She'd've been mad, not crying softly.)

(I think that's a wrap. Yeah, I just have to make sure I check other people's comments to be able to see the whole picture. Oh, okay! Go ahead and use what you'd like. I'm afraid my writing might not have been the best either.)

Thanks, yours was much better. At least you stayed consistent! DX)

(Maybe! Of course, this one was more of a chance rp but it's still a success anyways! It's alright, everyone has their moments. No one is perfect. At least you didn't almost completely screw up a timeline.)

You'll be perfectly safe as long as you're careful... Most people here are very nice and not dangerous at all... And if you ever need anything, you can always give me a call!

Ah... That seems to be something we neglected to tell you. ( He spots the chunk of unidentified meat given by the asylum girl. Pulling out a handkerchief, he gingerly grabs the bleeding flesh, speaking as he does so. ) Here at the society, we house not only the scientists, but their night managers as well. As a result, there are a few versions of the Hyde family residing in the building. ( He looks to the flesh with an air of concealed discomfort. ) I see you've met two of them thus far. Pardon me, but I'm going to take care of this and I'll be back. ( Hen walks briskly up the marble steps. After a minute, a flash of bright orange light bursts from the room he entered. )

( A tall well dressed man holds the front door open for them. He answers, his voice a musical tenor. ) That is a very smart question. You see, we have a very gracious patron. An old friend of our founder, in fact. He, as well as the donations gathered by our yearly exhibit, ensure that these doors stay open so that unconventional scientists might have a safe place to grow and learn. ( His brown eyes twinkle. ) I do believe you'll be meeting him soon.
