[Neutral Grounds]: DrRoux has entered at 8:28 am
[ Kidman ]: Hmm....
[ DrRoux ]: Bonjour
[ DrRoux ]: I am Dr. Acton Roux, do you remember moi?
[ Kidman ]: Yes, the one with the hidden face. I've...a few questions for you, if you don't mind.
[ DrRoux ]: A oui?
[ DrRoux ]: I am obliged to answer much as I may.
[ Kidman ]: sits down carefully.
[ Kidman ]: Thank you...
[ Kidman ]: I am still getting my bearings here.
[ DrRoux ]: Acton sits down also.
[ Kidman ]: Master only just called me up from the depths.
[ DrRoux ]: Master est Madame Carmen, n'est pas?
[ Kidman ]: Yes.
[ Kidman ]: It...feels good to state her as such.
[ DrRoux ]: Ah, a fitting title for such a lady.
[ DrRoux ]: If she guides me, I should feel to call her no less.
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has entered at 8:35 am
[ Kidman ]: Hullo doctor.
[ Scarlet ]: Good day, VILE.
[ Kidman ]: Two doctors...
[ Kidman ]: You said 'if'. Does she not already?
[ DrRoux ]: Ah, oui, she does, but not in the same terms.
[ DrRoux ]: I am not employed into VILE directly by Carmen, non.
[ Kidman ]: raises a brow.
[ DrRoux ]: I am a docteur of research, and I was employed by the docteurs who do work within VILE.
[ Scarlet ]: (Roux, I like... your colour.)
[ DrRoux ]: There are many docteurs who keep VILE agents safe, n'est pas?
[ DrRoux ]: a oui?
[ Kidman ]: Yes...
[ DrRoux ]: (merci, Scarlet!)
[ Scarlet ]: Oui, doctors for VILE and a whole medical center for ACME.
[ Scarlet ]: (I have half a mind to steal it for myself. ;) )
[ Kidman ]: feels somethung bunch up inside her but lets it go.
[ Kidman ]: (But I like that green. So calming)
[ Scarlet ]: (Hm, which green?)
[ Kidman ]: (The one you use)
[ Kidman ]: You said you wear the mask as penance. For what?
[ Scarlet ]: (Oh, thank you. :) )
[ DrRoux ]: I once wished to kill hundreds of people all at once.
[ DrRoux ]: I was driven to act like a madman.
[ DrRoux ]: But crossed my path was your Master.
[ Scarlet ]: Why did you want to kill those people, M. Roux?
[ DrRoux ]: I watcher her from a far distance, as she ran.
[ DrRoux ]: I saw her as a kindred spirit, non? Et I wished to aide her, using my poisons to dispose of those who ran after her.
[ DrRoux ]: But then I saw that she had many chances to dispose of them herself, yet she did not.
[ DrRoux ]: That is when I knew she must be preserved.
[ DrRoux ]: Ah, her ideals.
[ DrRoux ]: Mme Sophie, I wished to kill because I could.
[ Kidman ]: But they did not match with yours... she is for life.
[ DrRoux ]: a statement that I would make for the academic peers who led me for a fool.
[ DrRoux ]: But I was very wrong to think that
[ DrRoux ]: In one fateful night, one woman changed my thoughts.
[ DrRoux ]: C'est mon raison for wearing this mask.
[ Kidman ]: Master...
[ DrRoux ]: It reminds me that I shall never kill.
[ Kidman ]: She is...wonderful, isn't she?
[ DrRoux ]: very, very.
[ Kidman ]: How do you feel about ACME's sometimes heavy hand?
[ DrRoux ]: I do not feel much towards ACME, I believe they are doing the job they must do.
[ DrRoux ]: In history, I have lost my brother to the war, I know what it is to be bound to the law.
[ DrRoux ]: It is not a choice given or taken in lightness.
[ Kidman ]: nods gently.
[ DrRoux ]: One must all make difficult decisions
[ DrRoux ]: You see the most formidable of them, M. le Directeur.
[ DrRoux ]: I understand the man he is.
[ DrRoux ]: But if he stands in the path that I have directed, I cannot let him live, ultimately.
[ Kidman ]: sits rigid.
[ Kidman ]: Don't touch him.
[ Kidman ]: stands and moves away.
[ Kidman ]: Don't you touch him.
[ DrRoux ]: (I am hoping I am not too dark, oui? I assume my mask says a lot about Acton's type of character.)
[ Kidman ]: (Don't worry. You're perfectly in range)
[ Scarlet ]: (She's in-character, dear. Don't worry.)
[ DrRoux ]: is surprised at Mlle Kidman's reaction.
[ DrRoux ]: A oui? Not even if he threatens the well being of your Master?
[ Kidman ]: He won't.
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has left at 8:58 am
[ Kidman ]: And Master would never have it.
[ Kidman ]: (huh)
[ DrRoux ]: (she is logged off from gmail aussi, it must be computer problems)
[ Kidman ]: (ah)
[ DrRoux ]: You do not think he is capable of ending her life?
[ Kidman ]: wavers
[ Kidman ]: Do you think he would?
[ DrRoux ]: I do not think he will forgive himself, but he is capable.
[ Kidman ]: ...
[ DrRoux ]: If not directly then par accidente
[ Kidman ]: How do you see it happening?
[ DrRoux ]: (Did you see the end of Hiatus? Where the quake caused by the tower's destruction swallowed Carmen's motorcycle?)
[ DrRoux ]: (Dr. Roux does not know it, but that is the exemple)
[ Kidman ]: (Yes)
[ Kidman ]: is weary.
[ Kidman ]: It...can't be helped.
[ DrRoux ]: In my research, I look for ways to help Carmen.
[ DrRoux ]: So she may not fall victim.
[ Kidman ]: ...it is my belief that Master would rather die then have Chase die so she may live.
[ Kidman ]: It would ruin her.
[ DrRoux ]: sits up straight at the revelation.
[ DrRoux ]: That is not something to jest!
[ Kidman ]: I'm not.
[ DrRoux ]: ponders this much under his mask.
[ DrRoux ]: What tells you of this?
[ Kidman ]: If death for her life was acceptable, you would be seeing it. Is that not what brought you to her in the first place?
[ DrRoux ]: thinks more.
[ DrRoux ]: Then she must never given that choice.
[ Kidman ]: Master says those who kill do so because they fear death.
[ DrRoux ]: That is sometimes true
[ Kidman ]: Given what choice?
[ DrRoux ]: we fear death so we kill those who we think may endanger us.
[ DrRoux ]: Given the choice to choose between life and death for another.
[ DrRoux ]: In as much, the choice to choose between Chase Devineaux and death.
[ Kidman ]: No...what she meant was that the power found in inflicting death is only because power is percieved by controling something one fears most.
[ Kidman ]: Yes... we must keep them apart...somehow....
[ DrRoux ]: If there is but a way, I shall execute it to my best ability.
[ Kidman ]: But inflict no injury. She will feel it upon herself as well.
[ Kidman ]: Always remember this...
[ DrRoux ]: is speechless.
[ DrRoux ]: Does she... harbour feelings for him, tu crois?
[ Kidman ]: She harbours feelings for everyone.
[ DrRoux ]: is relieved
[ Kidman ]: quietly notes this.
[ Kidman ]: Do you love her?
[ DrRoux ]: a moi?
[ DrRoux ]: is thankful he has the mask.
[ DrRoux ]: I admire her greatly.
[ Kidman ]: waits for an answer.
[ Kidman ]: (oops)
[ DrRoux ]: Her ideas of the world are very.... beautiful.
[ DrRoux ]: As is she.
[ Kidman ]: nods.
[ Kidman ]: I love her.
[ DrRoux ]: But I do not want her touch or her adoration, non.
[ DrRoux ]: a oui? What sort of love do you mean to say?
[ Kidman ]: It has no label or form. I just do.
[ DrRoux ]: Then we are sharing the same ideas.
[ Kidman ]: even should she turn me away someday...
[ DrRoux ]: But my methods are not like yours, I am sure.
[ Kidman ]: looks at him
[ Kidman ]: What do you mean, 'methods'?
[ DrRoux ]: If I am successful, she will have eternal youth.
[ DrRoux ]: (this is only for your ears, non?)
[ DrRoux ]: (I have not revealed to many my plans, I am unsure of them completely)
[ Kidman ]: (Ah. I know someone else spoke of this to me, but I can't remember who)
[ Kidman ]: tilts her head.
[ Kidman ]: Isn't it...risky?
[ DrRoux ]: (I have revealed this to Chase, Carmen, and Vic)
[ DrRoux ]: It is very risky, but I have almost succeeded many times.
[ Kidman ]: is hesistant.
[ Kidman ]: Have you...spoken to Master about this?
[ DrRoux ]: Non, not once, I would also appreciate you do not speak to her of this.
[ DrRoux ]: I do not know if I will do this.
[ Kidman ]: You would not do anything without her knowledge, yes?
[ DrRoux ]: Of course I cannot do anything without her knowing.
[ Kidman ]: isn't sure.
[ DrRoux ]: She is a very smart woman.
[ Kidman ]: I know...
[ Kidman ]: wishes Master was here.
[Neutral Grounds]: Chase has entered at 9:38 am
[ Kidman ]: Close enough, I guess....
