Log (ongoing)

When; February 3, afternoonish
Rating; PG-13 for various "don't do this at home" exploits
Characters; Dr. Horrible ([livejournal.com profile] horrible_phd ) and Carl ([livejournal.com profile] somekindofsin ), with Karrin and the illustrious Captain Hammer later on.
Summary; The elevator in the City's laboratory is unwilling to take orders. Attempts to fix it lead, naturally, to mayhem and plans to destroy the carousel for the good of humanity. Or whatever.
Log;

Carl shuffled about the laboratory's lobby, waiting for his associate (well, they weren't really associates, as they worked independently and on different levels of the laboratory, but Carl was in the habit of thinking about all other scientifically-minded individuals in his general vicinity as associates), Dr. Horrible. The friar didn't usually collaborate with anyone with "horrible" in their name, but the City hardly allowed one to be picky. Anyway, Carl suspected Dr. Horrible was more of a Dr. Morally-Ambiguous.

From what Carl had learned from personal experience, the elevator that they were going to attempt to fix refused to allow any one City citizen access to more than one floor of the laboratory. There was undoubtedly a reason for it, but the arrangement made it rather difficult to visit associates on other floors. Carl was almost certain that whatever odd 'magic' infested the City controlled the elevator's movements, making the contraption rigged rather than broken. This didn't faze him. Neither did the fact that he had virtually no experience with lifts of any kind. Carl had no doubt that scientific ingenuity could overcome virtually everything, supernatural forces and general ignorance included.

Of course, Carl also had every intention of trying to destroy the City's carousel at a later date, which, he surmised, threw a fair amount of doubt on his convictions and sanity.

Karrin rolled her eyes. This was bordering on the absurd, and she was honestly tiring of debating with stubborn idiots. She wasn't an officer of the law anymore; this was not really her problem, whatever her instincts told her.

"Regardless, the police will be hearing about this," she said. "I would appreciate it if you would go home now and avoid any future attempts at 'heroism.'"

"Believe me, I avoid that whenever possible. We're going." It felt a little like backing down to try to leave without a true confrontation with Captain Hammer, but on the other hand he was getting used to not having to do things like treat his own concussions.

He tried catching Carl's eye, turning around, and calmly(ish) walking off. If he got away with that, he'd count it as a wind. It's definitely not that way Captain Hammer would want things to end right? Every step seemed terribly slow and exposed and necessitated a lot more conscious will than usual.

He considered going after him- briefly- and decided against it. A hero always gives the villain a second chance, didn't they? Although in this case he'd already formed his opinions on the matter, and really, it would look so much better on him to let Horrible go.

After all, letting him go now only to destroy him at a later time made Hammer all the better. "We shall meet again, Doctor. And your little friend, too. So you'd best be on the look-out, and watch yourselves." He almost smirked, they were pathetic, really. A letter? Hardly the toughest thing he'd have to go through, even if he did wind up writing them. The other man didn't look like he was the type to do much more than empty threats in this sort of situation. He'd scarcely be more worried even if he'd made a threat on his life.
