Somewhere private.

You're taken into a cold and very spacious room, despite your wormin' wigglin', where the girls carrying you dump you onto the floor. You squirm yourself up into a sitting position as the sound of multiple footsteps fills the room around you, decreasing and decreasing until it's just one set of slowly-clopping and probably-elegant-walking shoes. The sack is pulled off of your head, and as your eyes adjust to seeing light again, you notice the face only a few centimetres in front of yours.

Talia, the girl with a short crop of white hair, crouches in front of you, leaned forward with a greedy smile. One arm is stretched forward towards your head and hovers just above it, having just rid you of that brown sack, which she throws over her shoulder before standing up and starting to pace in front of you.

"You know, for some reason, I was really hoping that you'd pull it off, Debbie." She says in a telling-off voice, turning on her heel to pace the other way now. "But you really let me down. And you broke your word. That's two strikes already, tsk tsk."

She waggles her finger and shakes her head. She continue, keeping the finger extended but bringing it over to her chin contemplatively.

"It was a little bit fun to watch.... so I was thinking, maybe I could just let you off the hook, right? I mean, what could we do to you more than Professor Phoebe already did?" She spits out the name with a clear hatred.

You try to get up too, but your wrists and ankles are still ziptied. Rats! You're starting to get sort of nervous..... Professor Phoebe definitely said she'd help you, right? There's no way you just dreamt that while in the nurse's office.... right??

Talia stops pacing just in front of you, both hands now placed behind her back, and turns ninety degrees to face you again.

"But then I thought...... nah." Her grin grows wider.

Is she a supervillain or something? This feels weird.

Reaching into her back pocket, she produces a small remote with a single button. She lifts it, her forefinger over the big button, to point it at the wall behind you. You're still kneeling with your arms tied behind your back and your ankles joined, but you turn your head and see that the white wall behind you actually has hinges at its top. I-is she about to open that up with the remote, or something? What's back there?

You don't find out right away. There's a loud clatter that brings your attention back to in front of you, where you see that one of the roof panels has fallen inwards and landed loudly on the floor. Talia looks just as surprised as you do, still holding the remote out forwards, but before she can do or say anything somebody swiftly leaps down into the room and delivers a quick kick that sends the remote flying across the room and has Talia pulling her hand back in pain.

"Professor Phoebe!" You shout happily, identifying the intruder (and your absolute hero from now on!) right away. She gives you a quick smile, standing in the combat-ready pose that she landed in, before turning her attention back on Talia.

"You...... WHY is it always YOU?" Talia yells, holding onto her stinging hand with the other. "GIRLS!! GET IN HERE!"

Uh oh, that doesn't sound good.... especially since you're still ziptied up and kneeling.
