Imaginary Friends 2009/01/11 	 Rapture 3

Interview with a monster
The institute is lovely in the cold afternoon, and the sun beats down in the wintry January. The lawnbots whir across the lawn, snicking the cold grass with their laser cutters and warming it with their heat and sunmode. There are no children in the solarium.

Rapture looks around from the sidewalk at the bots and wonders why they are heating the grass it not like it will die if it gets cold. She sighs and walks up the walk way to the door and walks in. She looks around at the insides and wonders where she should go from here. She looks for a front desk or something.

The door opens, and Doris is sitting behind the desk, looking fat, dumpy and disgruntled. "Oh, yes, you're...ah...Rapture..." She says. "Doctor Ingersoll wants to know why you're here before I buzz you through."

Rapture blinks at the voice and looks at the large woman. She walks to the desk and smiles, "I here to talk to him about the killer bunny and a little boy Toby" she sighs, "If he not happy with that tell him to see me and everything will become clear." she not use to have to explain her self to others but she trying.

Doris yawns. "Doctah Ingasawl, Raptacha wantsta tawk to you 'bout Toby!" She says through the intercom. There's a buzzing sound and a door clicks open at the back of the room.

Rapture smiles and leans over the desk and kisses Doris cheek, "thank you" She walks to the door and opens it slowly. She then looks around again wanting take in everything around her.

Doris smiles and says "Hey, now. Watch yaw step!" She grins and you step through into a carpeted hallway. There are occasional people here, doctors and nurses in aqua colored coats who move up and down the hallway. Directly to your left, is a large office in which Doctor Ingersoll sits. He's going over some paperwork, and the air in here is wonderfully crisp and clean.

"Oh, Rapture!" He says, a cheerful grin on his face. "How nice to see you again so soon!"

Rapture smiles and nods, "yes it good to see you again doctor" She close the door behind her. then folds her arms, "I know this is blunt but I need to talk to Toby about the killer bunny he made."

Doctor Ingersoll says "Are you sure?" He says. "I mean, this is incredibly dangerous. You and I could walk in there, and the killer bunny could be right there, and you probably wouldn't see it, and you could be killed."

Rapture nods, "it a risk I have to take that risk." she smiles, "I stronger then I look and I sure I can handle a bunny and a little boy. Did you hear that he killed one of the friend. Some how he brought in to life and killed it in front of the little girl."

Doctor Ingersoll says "I'm well aware of all of that, an Officer Carter was here and told me everything about it." He says. "This is a highly unusual phenomenon. If I didn't believe that something was actually happening, I'd be studying this, however." He adjusts his tie. "I have to ask you to sign a waiver." He gets one out of his desk drawer. "You understand that his parents are dead set against this, but I'm effectively superceding their wishes in the interests of Toby's health." He slides the piece of paper across to you. "Sign it."

Rapture nods and smiles, "of course you would know about it." she walks to the desk and picks up a pen, "I'll sigh it. After all my health and well being is mine alone. She sighs the paper and smiles, "lets go see the cute little boy."

Doctor Ingersoll puts the waiver back in his desk, and says "Come with me." He makes his way past some orderlies and up the stairs to the second floor. The orderlies seem very capable, and quick bodied for their size, and the doctors and nurses get out of his way like he runs an army. Ingersoll takes you up to the third floor of the house, and walks along the hallway until you reach Toby's room. "This door is security locked, and the window has bars on it." He says. "There's no way that this Wumbles could get in and out of here without us knowing it. He'd trip every alarm in the place, every night."

Rapture follows the doctor checking out the Orderlies as she passes. She stays a few steps behind the doctor trying to image what this boy going be like she a mother 25 and knows how to handle children but this boy is not like them is here. She stops when to the doctor does and looks around, "Is this all really needed he only 5 isn't he? What is he like is he going to attack me or anything?"

"Toby represents the possibility of a psychic with the ability to telekinetically lift a battleship." He says. "As such, in case all his powers suddenly manifest, we would like to have enough of a bulkhead built into his room that we have enough time to run screaming for the hills before he kills us, instead of during the event."

Rapture is then back by this no one told her this boy had powers. She swallows hard but nods, "so strong arm tactics do not work then" she sighs, "okay thanks to the info I sure I can handle him well to the point where I can escape." She rolls her head and looks at the door, "lets do this."

Doctor Ingersoll opens the door after putting in the keycode, and he walks into the room. Toby is sitting on the bed, in a grim sulk. "Oh, Hi, Doctor Ingersoll." He says. "Mr. Wumbles loves "How to Be A Villain." He says that he's thinking of taking over the world." He giggles a little bit. "Can you imagine being ruled by a six foot rabbit with a machete?" Toby beams. "Battles to the death for sport, everyone's a vegetarian! Awesome!"

Doctor Ingersoll puts his hands on his hips. "How do you talk to Mr. Wumbles, Toby?"

Toby grins. "I have an imaginary cell phone. And I'm not telling you where it is."

Rapture frowns at the boys words but steps forward, "Toby may I ask you a few question for you about...." she stops at the news of the phone, "You can talk to him?" she walks over to the bed and sits down next to the boy. She strokes his cheek and then pats her lap, "why don't you tell me all about your friend Mr. Wubles I like to understand him better"

Toby grins. "You'd like that wouldn't you. And you'd like me to sit in your lap, you evil whore." He seems to be enjoying himself. "I hear you have twenty five children. I hear you keep a hotel room at the Beach Hotel just for your special naughty friends. I hear you want to ravish Imaginary Girl. Too bad she's not Imaginary Woman, eh?" He giggles a little bit. "Mr. Wumbles knows exactly who you are. And now I do, too."

Rapture it takes a lot to get her mad and it going to take more then what the boy said to do it. She nods and smiles, "all that true but I given up trying to sleep with Imaginary Girl now I want to help you more as a friend and maybe a mother like person. As for a whore well by my understand of the word I not that I never taken money for sex now if you want to call me a slut then yes I can go with that" She smiles at the boy, "you know allot about me but I bet you don't know everything like do you know my powers do you?"

Doctor Ingersoll says "I think we need to leave."

Toby smiles and says "Oh, no, Doctor Ingersoll. We're just getting started, Mr. Wumbles and I." He takes a deep breath. "I can read your mind all day, Rapture. Would you like that?" He coos. "So nasty, your little life."

"Toby!" Doctor Ingersoll says coldly. "Stop reading her mind! Now!"

"Will you let me out?" Toby coos savagely. "I don't want to be in this room anymore. Mr. Wumbles has some things to do, and then we're going to take over the world!"

Rapture looks at the doctor and smiles, "it okay doctor I not offended I sure he can see that." she looks at the boy, "you are power aren't you? Well no matter look in my mind all you want I have nothing to hind" She then looks at the doctor then back to the boy, "Well that's not up to me but if the doctor will allow it I will take you for a flight but if I do you must tell me ever thing about the bunny." she reaches out and strokes your cheek, "your a very handsome boy if you learn to behave you could be allowed out of her fully in time. Your powers use for good and you could bring a age of peace, happiness, and love to Earth."

Toby laughs maniacally. "Yeah, right, peace and love and happiness to Earth. Do we live on the same planet?" He giggles. "Mr. Wumbles is old! I imagined him old and brought him to life so he would be wise, clever, and EVIL! I don't want to bring peace and love to Earth. I want to bring Tyranny and rule the world under my booted heel!" He stamps his foot hard. "Evil will always win, because bimbos like you are STUPID!"

Doctor Ingersoll shudders and shakes his head. "Rapture, I really think we should get out of here."

Rapture looks at the Doctor, "it's fine doctor we being very well behaved even if he got a smart mouth" she turns to Toby and sighs, "you know what I going to do now don't you?" She does not shield her thoughts. She leans in and kisses the boy on the check. At the same time she lets her Pheremone powers go. She trying to make the boy trust her. The message enters his head "trust her."

Toby inhales deeply. "Wow...you smell like...you smell like...you smell like the same bullshit that kindergarten teachers spout about good and evil." He rubs his hands together as he twitches a little bit. "God, I can feel you trying to twist my guts out and make me like you. Mr. Wumbles is going to kill you." He says and licks his lips. "Mr. Wumbles is going to kill you, as soon as he's done with the Imaginaries. I can't wait until I'm ten, and I can get an erection when people get killed." He gives you a wicked smirk. "The difference isn't that I can't tell right from wrong, really." He looks over at Doctor Ingersoll with a big broad grin. "The difference is that I like watching things die."

Doctor Ingersoll says "Rapture, we should go. We should go right now. This isn't helping anything. You're just provoking him. We...need...to...go."

"Aww...." Toby says."Isn't that sweet. Doctor is afraid of me." He grins from ear to ear. "Don't worry, Mr. Wumbles isn't here right now. He's busy with someone else. You'll see..." He says. "This one's even better than the last one."

Rapture pulls back and sighs as her power fails. She shakes her head, "Death means that to you? When you are ten I will come here get on my knees and offer you a knife to slit my throat or what ever you want but you must call off Mr. Wumbles. Do you agree to this offer?" She leaves her mind open allowing him to see she means every world of it.

Toby titters. "Ahh, sacrifice." He purrs throatily. "Wow, you really are stupid. Why would I agree when Mr. Wumbles can kill you anyway? It's no fun to kill willing victims. Willing victims want to die." He presses his hands together. "I've dissected at least ten living cats and four dogs. All my neighbors miss their pets." He hooted cheerfully. "You can't make me an offer. I'm going to rule the world on a pile of corpses."

Doctor Ingersoll says. "Rapture, this is not a joke. We need to get out of here. Don't feed his desires like that."

Rapture doesn't respond to the doctor she stands, "You are a joke you know that what type of king live in a cell. I bet your bunny can't kill a real person that's why he kills on the other friends and leave there owners alone. he's pathetic you are pathetic. You have all these brains all you can think of is a 6 foot bunny. That's as scary as a fluffy cloud or a pony." she turns around, "I know when I see a real man and there none in this room only a little boy with his sick dream." She starts to walk to the door slowly.

Doctor Ingersoll says "Rapture, we should get out." He turns to Toby and says "You'll get your dinner on time."

"Mashed potatoes?" Toby asks.

"Yes." Doctor Ingersoll says. "You can have your mashed potatoes." He guides Rapture slowly to the door.

Rapture stops at the door, "you want to struggle in a someone you going to kill tell your bunny friend to come after be next I'll make sure he never hurts anyone again that is if he has the guts to. Or am I to much woman for him." She smiles at the boy, "unless he can't I still don't think he can hurt real people. Also if someone else died by his hands I coming here and spank you until you can't sit down for a year."

She trying to to get to boy mad so the bunny comes after her but she also means it and she lets her mind show that, "your family should of done that before now. Your powers scare them but not me your just a child to me one who need to learn his place in life." she turns to the doctor, "If I was you I would drug him and let a hero with mental powers block off the parts of his brain that his powers in even if he a drooling fool after."

Doctor Ingersoll says "I can't do that without the consent of his parents, and they're dead set against that. Maybe you should try and convince them of it."

"You're DEAD!" Toby shrieks at Rapture. "Mr. Wumbles is gonna cut your throat and spit on your corpse. You will be a wet, red stain! Die, you bitch! DIE! DIE! DIE!"

Doctor Ingersoll closes the door and inputs the security code. "Are you crazy?" He says. "You have no idea how this stuff even works, and you just provoked this kid into sending his imaginary killer rabbit after you."

Rapture nods and sighs leaning against the wall, "I know but I will have him after me then see another person harmed by this animal. Children do not need to see what he forcing them to watch. I can fly I hoping I can live the first attack and stay away from him until I can think of away to see him. She stands up, "also doctor grow a pair he knows your scared of him be firm children respond to to a firm hand." she starts to walk down the hall, "also if someone does die I going to come here and spank him and I not calling ahead. Stay out of the way and I'll take all the blame for it."

Doctor Ingersoll facepalms. "We have laws on Earth." He says. "Thanks for signing the waiver. It means if you die, I'm not responsible."

Doctor Ingersoll leads you back downstairs and out of the Institute. "Have a good day." He says pleasantly.

Doctor Ingersoll looks like he's aged five years in a single day.

Rapture looks back, "I know that doctor and I normally would not break them but this boy not going learn any other way." she walks with you, "yah and keep in mind what I told you it would be best for everyone." She leans over and kisses his cheek, "wish me luck I going to need it." she turns and walks out.
