IC-SWORD-Horror Movie(Zoe/Katarina/Mei Ling)

[Mr. Handy]

In the movie studio-
"Ah, don't sweat it, Zoe," said Jeff, leading her by the arm to the bathroom alcove. "Perfectly normal reaction to seeing that body. Hell, it even shook me up a little." The alcove had a marble sink area with towels, small bars of soap, cups, and little bottles of shampoo, like you'd expect to find in a hotel room. At the back, a door led into the bathroom itself, which contained a toilet and a combination tub and shower with a thin white curtain, which was currently open. Unlike most hotel bathrooms, this one, like the rest of the set, had no ceiling. It also had a video camera on a tripod standing in a near corner aimed at the shower. Another camera lens was embedded into the shower wall itself. Jeff picked up a washcloth and a bar of shower soap and ushered Zoe inside the bathroom, stepping in after her. "Besides, I won't mind watching you take a shower. All yours." He handed her the cloth and the soap.

Mr. Handy,Tabs is at a loss what to do next! [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1977151/]Shit.[/url]

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,You'll just have to decide what to do based on the information you've got.

[sub]Zoe climbs into the shower and proceeds to clean herself up.[/sub]

"You are the best man here, Jeff. Can you fetch me a glass of spirits? I need strong drink, after I'll be all yours."

[Mr. Handy]

In the movie studio-
"Sure thing, babe," said Jeff. "There's a minibar back in the room. I'll go get us both drinks." He left the bathroom and went into the main part of the hotel room, out of her field of view, while Zoe washed herself off in the shower.

Zoe Gallagher

OOC,Tabs is trying to avoid the inevitable on behalf of Zoe, but is it really a fate worse than death? She's been illused since her capture.

[sub]When Jeff returns with the drinks.[/sub]

"Thanks. There was a loud noise earlier, anything mechanical gone wrong? I'm the gal for that."

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,You've done a good job of buying time trying to avoid [b]Zoe[/b]'s fate. It's nothing she hasn't already endured many times, and it's entirely up to you whether or not she gives in. Whatever decision you make will have consequences that will affect her.

In the movie studio-
Jeff came back into the bathroom carrying a glass of champagne in each hand. He smiled at Zoe as she washed herself off in the shower, running his eyes all over her body, and handed her a glass. "Nah, it's nothing to worry about," he said, clinking his glass against hers and taking a drink. "I could use my pipes cleaned, though," he added with a wink. He took a towel from the rack outside the room and brought it in. "When you're done, you can dry yourself off."

[Tabs]

OOC,Tabs wants Zoe to clout Jeff but is wary of the consequences; especially after the Mei Ling debacle! Unless an opportunity comes up (!) Zoe will go through with it, (with Jeff).

"Thanks for the towel, Jeff."

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,It's possible that such an opportunity may arise, but I can't say anything more than that at the moment.

In the movie studio-
"Sure thing, sweetheart," said Jeff. He shut off the water in the shower. After Zoe finished drying herself off and drinking the champagne, he put an arm around her. "All right, Zoe, come to bed." He slipped his other arm below her legs and lifted her up in his muscular arms, then walked back into the bedroom. He strode over to the bed and lay her down on top of it.

Zoe watched with horror and disgust as he began to unbuckle his belt, having resigned herself to her fate. He and others like him had done this before, but it never got any easier for her. The fact that she had come so close to freedom only made it more heart-rending. Her stomach was empty, and the drink would give her a mild buzz, but it wouldn't be as bearable as if she were blind drunk. Then she might not have even remembered it afterwards.

Jeff paused, looking up and cocking an ear. "Did you hear that?"

OOC,[b]Zoe[/b], roll Listen.

[Tabs]

Zoe also listened, "No Jeff, I don't hear anything. What was it?"

[Mr. Handy]

In the movie studio-
Jeff shrugged after listening intently for a few more seconds. "Probably just rats," he said, walking over to the chair. He took off his boots and left them at the foot of the chair, then removed his utility belt and placed it on the chair before dropping his trousers. Zoe couldn't help but cringe as he approached the bed on which she lay.

[Tabs]

"Ugh rats!"
Zoe checks out the utility belt.

OOC,Anything useful to club or stab Jeff with? Especially an occupied man.

[Mr. Handy]

In the movie studio-
The chair was not within reach of the bed, as it was about fifteen feet away, and Jeff was currently between her and it. Zoe saw that the belt only contained small items: a pistol in a holster, a couple of different kinds of grenades, ammo pouches, and a couple of keyrings. It did not have a knife or a club. However, the M-16 he had leaned against the chair could easily be used as a big club in addition to its obvious function as a rifle. Getting her hands on it might prove difficult, however.

Jeff licked his lips as he returned to the bed, ogling Zoe intently. With every step her dread of what was to come increased. She still wasn't ready when he reached the bedside. "At last you're mine, Zoe," he said. Then he climbed on top of her and kissed her passionately, running his hands over her body.

OOC,[b]Zoe[/b], roll Spot Hidden.

[Tabs]

Zoe notices something...

[Mr. Handy]

In the movie studio-
Just when it seemed that Jeff was going to ravish Zoe and that there was nothing that could stop him, she saw something that gave her a faint glimmer of hope. While Jeff was fondling her, she caught a glimpse over his shoulder of the ceiling of the studio. A ventilation grille not too far away from the movie set was pulled up and moved aside from above.

[Tabs]

Has the cavalry arrived? Zoe focuses her attention on the ventilation grille.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,[b]Zoe Gallagher[/b] is moving to the following thread.
