Third Trolling

[saikyocivrobo]

[Prometheus is taking a stroll down White Chalice, carrying a boombox stolen temporarily borrowed from MarKus. One of the CDs from DJ RGNK's concert is playing on it... backwards and at 200% speed. It sounds a bit like chipmunks performing a Satanic ritual. And it's loud. Hoo boy, is it loud.]

[There is no way the chibi robo can avoid that. But what he can do is grab a pipe running near the ceiling with his only free hand, and start crawling on it quickly to go down the corridor! It's a strangely quick way of travel.]

[Samus merely follows, as her long legs and quick pace easily allow her to keep up with him without more effort than a brisk walk. She's waiting for the robot to realize that the pipes follow the corridors, and that given the height of the corridor and how tall she is, she really would only have to raise her hand to grab him (which she'd do the second it seems he might actually escape).

Prometheus is, however, probably too preoccupied trying to crawl fast to notice the smallest smile of amusement in Samus's lips]

[Prometheus doesn't get discouraged. His destination - a ventilation duct opening in the ceiling! He's gonna duck in there the moment he gets close enough.]

[chozo_girl]

[Samus, on her end, simply steps ahead of Prometheus and blocks the space on the pipe with her hand, blocking him from reaching the ventilation duct. Prometheus's options don't look very good right now - if he doesn't brake instantly, he'll run straight into Samus and get caught... but if he does, he's a sitting duck!]

[Prometheus looks around and notices he's cornered. He lets out a small cloud of steam that forms droplets all over his face... There is only one thing he can do here!

With a click of a button, he changes to the other CD in the boombox. Suddenly, smooth jazz starts to fill the air!]

[chozo_girl]

[Samus simply takes advantage of Prometheus's braking and distraction by changing the music to grab him by the collar delicately with her other hand and lowers him a bit.

She looks at the tiny robot in her hand with the smallest of smiles]

That sounds quite better.

[She puts him down]You are going to be the first person who I have chased and lived to tell the tale since six years ago, Prometheus. You should not push your luck further today.

Otherwise crew members might hire me to stop you from reigniting the mutiny that near happened days ago. [...and it's left unsaid, but there's the rather worrying possibility that Samus might not make the same exception twice...]

[saikyocivrobo]

[Prometheus nods quickly and takes the first opportunity he can to get the hell away from here. He won't change the music in a longer while until he's absolutely sure Samus is nowhere in the earshot. This lady is scary.]
