Part 1
<The Manipulator> **It has been several months since, via your
rape and defilement at the hands of the Manipulator, his device
was destroyed. Despite being left bound, naked and gagged on the
courthouse steps, you're still a hero. Always wary, you've heard
nothinghide nor hairof the Manipulator in all this
time, until you see a segment on a local news channel about this
innovative finishing school for female juvenile delinquents that
has opened in Peakskill, New York. It talks of the innovative
programno fences or cells. The inmates wear uniforms, plaid
skirts, white blouses with ties, and they go about their studies
happily. "The Manipshire Institute stresses nurturing and
developing the whole woman, from the inside out," the uptight,
academic headmistress says in the interview. "It is not our
objective to merely modify behavior, but to rewire, so to speak,
the very core of the young ladies here, to mold them into productive
citizens. The segment ends and Facts of Life reruns come on.**
* Batgirl
calls to Alfred.
<Batgirl>
"Yes, madam?"
<Batgirl>
"Alfred, the channel five news spot just now...can you pull
the tape and rerun the spot for me?"
<Batgirl>
**Alfred nods, disappearing, and within minutes, a quick blip
on the screen, then the spot replays.**
* Batgirl
leans in closer to the monitor, winding, rewinding, using her
remote to zoom in on a particular face.
* Batgirl
sits, quietly, then mumbles to herself "Faux!"
* Batgirl
repeats the number on the screen silently several times, looks
at her watch, and makes a quick phone call to the headmistress.
<The Manipulator> **A nasally secretary answers the line. "Manipshire
Institute, how may I help you?"
* Batgirl
drawls in her most saccharine voice.
<Batgirl>
"Yesss, I'm Ms. Yvonne Pritchard from the Gotham Gazette.
I'm doing a story on your wonderful school, and I'd love to be
able to interview the people who make this type of place the truly
exemplary institution it is. We go to press the day after tomorrow,
but I'm sure if you could get me in tomorrow...I could work the
story in as a front page piece..."
<The Manipulator> **There is a pause and then the secretary says,
"Please hold for our Media Relations Director."
<The Manipulator> **The PR guyan exhuberant fellowis
now on the line.**
* Batgirl
replays her spiel, word for word, tone for tone.
<The Manipulator> **"Certainly! we'd be delighted for you
to come tour our facility. We are at the cutting edge of juvenile
delinquent treatment. Meet here at the main offices tomorrow morning,
9am?"
* Batgirl
turns up the sex appeal in her voice just a bit as she hooks her
bait "Yesss, that'd be just lovely. I'm sooo looking forward
to meeting you and your wonderful colleagues. Will I be able to
meet the person in charge of the school?"
<The Manipulator> **The PR guy clears his throat.**
* Batgirl
"Mr....I'm sorry
I don't know your name..."
* Batgirl
purrs
<The Manipulator> **"Well
Mr. Ersatz started the institute
and is the final word but delegates all daily operations...uh...my
name is Michael Boguslowski. Mr. Ersatz delegates the charge of
daily operations to Ms. Fugazi, the headmistress. Mr. Ersatz is
here tomorrow. A meeting may not be out of the question..."**
<Batgirl>
"Good, that's wonderful. I look forward to seeing him at
9am, then."
* Batgirl
hangs up.
**********
* Batgirl
surveys her handiwork in the mirror before heading out the door
to her 9am rendezvous. Her lips curl into a grin as she sees the
person staring back at her...simultaneously familiar and unfamiliar...long
red curls replaced by straight, smooth raven tresses to her shoulders...blouse,
slightly tight, unbuttoned to reveal an ample bosom...skirt, to
the knee, toned calves well showcased.
<The Manipulator> **Youre met at the gate by Mike Boguslowski,
a pudgy man with no hair and a cheap suit. He's all smiles, greets
you warmly, and takes you to the offices. All around you, on the
modern, college-style campus, stroll girls in shortskirted uniforms
with crisp white blouses, knee socks, and neckties. The girls
are White, Black, Asian, all young and pretty, and seemingly very
happy going on about their tasks of going to class, etc., on the
perfectly manicured grounds.
* Batgirl
takes a deep breath, and assumes the demeanor of a intelligent,
unwitting, sultry reporter.
<The Manipulator> **You're taken into the offices and straight
to the office of the headmistress, a Ms. Fugazi.**
* Batgirl
smiles warmly at the headmistress, offering her firm handshake.
<The Manipulator> **Ms. Fugazi, a mannish looking chick, returns
the greeting with a warm handshake.**
<The Manipulator> "We are more than happy to give you a tour
of our facility, Miss
what is your name?
* Batgirl
"...Pritchard...Yvonne
"
* Batgirl
looks around the elegant offices.
<Batgirl>
"Will the director...Mr. Ersatz
be joining us this morning?"
<The Manipulator> **"Ah! Mr. Ersatz sends his regrets that
he will not be able to meet with us this morning. However, he
will be joining us for lunch in the cafeteria."**
* Batgirl
tosses off the comment casually, as she looks out the window at
the scores of well-mannered young girls.
<The Manipulator> **"Shall we begin, Miss Pritchard?"**
* Batgirl
nods, backing up a bit to follow you.
<The Manipulator> **Ms. Fugazi gives her spiel to you as she walks
you across the main campus to the gymnasium**
<Batgirl>
"I have a few questions for you, if you don't mind, as we
walk."
<The Manipulator> **"Of course, feel free."**
<Batgirl>
"The funding for the school..."
<The Manipulator> **Pritchard listens**
<Batgirl>
"...is from...?"
* Batgirl
's question trails off.
<The Manipulator> **"We are a nonprofit corporation, funded
by a mixture of private donations and state and federal monies."**
* Batgirl
quite noticeably gazes over the immaculately manicured campus.
* Batgirl
nods, scribbling as she walks.
<Batgirl>
"Would you mind if I talked to some of the girls? Got their
views?"
* Batgirl
watches Fugazi's face closely for any signs of discomfort at the
notion.
<The Manipulator> **"Not at all, Miss Pritchard. Feel free."
Fugazi looks at her watch. "In fact, classes are changing
now. Feel free to ask any of the girls you see walking past."**
<The Manipulator> **One beautiful young thing happens by your
group, she has long, blond hair tied in a ponytail. Her uniform
is crisp and neat, and she carries her schoolbooks against her
bosom.**
* Batgirl
smiles her warmest smile.
<Batgirl>
"Excuse me
"
* Batgirl
looks deep into the girl's eyes.
<The Manipulator> **The girl looks up, slightly startled and looks
over to Fugazi, who nods in approval. The girl then smiles. "Yes?
Oh, good morning Ms. Fugazi."**
* Batgirl
positions her body between the girl and Fugazi, blocking the line
of vision so that Fugazi's realignment at this point would be
quite noticeable.
<The Manipulator> **Fugazi does not move.**
<Batgirl>
"How long have you been here at Manipshire?"
<The Manipulator> **I've been here for 3 months. It has changed
my life.**
<Batgirl>
"And what incentive
what is it that Manipshire offers
you...what is it about THIS PLACE aside from all others, that
inspires such a dramatic behavioral change in you?"
* Batgirl
narrows her eyes, studying the girl's face.
<The Manipulator> **"It's uh, the way they get inside of
your mind, I guess. It's different than just sticking you in detention."**
Batgirl nods, grinning a wry grin.
<Batgirl>
"Ah, yes, I think I know EXACTLY what you mean..."
* Batgirl
pats the girl on the shoulder, thanking her warmly for her time.
<The Manipulator> **Fugazi interjects. "We use a process
called guided centering. It is a psychological process with
an educational emphasis.**
* Batgirl
jots notes, nodding as Fugazi talks.
* Batgirl
scans the campus behind Fugazi as she speaks...looking for any
sign of...
<The Manipulator> **"The young lady you talked to, Joanie,
is one of the 500 girls here who were drug dealers, whores, thieves
"**
<Batgirl>
"And you believe your process completely reforms these girls
transforms,
shall we say?""
<The Manipulator> **"Now she is on her way to becoming a
productive member of society, when she finishes our year-long
program, she won't be the same girl who first came to us. Parents
see their daughters just after the first month and can't believe
they are the same girls that came in here."
* Batgirl
starts to notice a stale flatness in the girls' demeanor...a sense
of ennui pervading the campus.
<The Manipulator> **A mild-mannered looking man in a tweed blazer
with suede elbow patches, black turtleneck, and Lennon specs happens
upon the group.**
<The Manipulator> "Miss Pritchard, I presume," the man
says, smiling warmly.
* Batgirl
turns sharply, startled from her thoughts by the male voice.
<The Manipulator> "I am Gerald Ersatz
founder of the
Manipshire Institute."
* Batgirl
extends her hand. "Yvonne Pritchard."
<The Manipulator> "A pleasure. I'll take the tour from here,
Ms. Fugazi. Shall we make our way to the cafeteria?"
* Batgirl
nods, her full red lips curling into a grin, her eyes fixed on
yours, gaze unwavering as you speak.
<The Manipulator> "
You can further watch our girls
in our little community here, and I must say the food is rather
tasty."
* Batgirl
laughs softly.
<Batgirl>
"That in itself is an accomplishment!"
* The Manipulator
walks you into the dining hall and smiles. Girls are quietly milling
about, eating their lunches, getting trays.
<The Manipulator> **The girls are in good spirits it seems.**
* The Manipulator
**Ersatz leads you through the line, and takes you to a table
in the middle of the cafeteria to sit down..**
<The Manipulator> "So, Miss, um...Pritchard, is it?"
* Batgirl
smiles, scanning the room, feeling a bit of unease.
* Batgirl
sits, legs off to the side of the chair, crossing them high on
the thigh
* Batgirl
nods.
<The Manipulator> **The girl you met earlier, Joanie, walks by
cradling her books in one arm, tray in the other.**
* Batgirl
leans forward a bit, for the salt, her blouse button straining
under the weight of her breasts
* Batgirl
nods to the girl, smiling.
* The Manipulator
**Ersatz shifts in his chair, trying not to look down your shirt.**
<The Manipulator> **Joanie doesn't see you, bumps into your arm,
and her tray and books scatter all over the floor.**
* Batgirl
jumps up immediately to help the girl, picking up the books for
her.
<The Manipulator> **Oh! Im so sorry!" the girl says.
Mr. Ersatz gets up and reassures her. "That's alright, Joanie.
Accidents happen."
<The Manipulator> **In the disheveled papers, there is one piece
of notebook paper that has "help me" scrawled in the
margin in blue ink.**
* Batgirl
pulls the papers into a pile, neatens the stack, and hands it
back to the girl, slipping it into the girls binder for
her.
* Batgirl
puts her hands on the girl's shoulder and says, "Thank you
again, Joanie, for your help earlier today."
<The Manipulator> **Joanie looks at you and for one split second,
there is helpless terror in her big
blue eyes.**
<The Manipulator> **"You're
welcome, Miss." Joanie goes about her business.**
<The Manipulator> **"So," Mr. Ersatz says, grinning.
"What brings you to our little project?"**
<Batgirl>
says abruptly, "Mr. Ersatz, is there somewhere private for
me to make a phone call? I've a deadline at ..."
* Batgirl
looks at her watch
<Batgirl>
"My gosh! I HAD a deadline at noon!"
<The Manipulator> **"Oh dear!"**
<Batgirl>
"If I could just use a phone for five minutes, I'm sure I
could take care of the matter."
<The Manipulator> **"There is a payphone at the front gate.
Let me escort you."**
* Batgirl
thinks quickly.
<Batgirl>
"I'm sorry!"
* Batgirl
chuckles at herself.
<Batgirl>
"I HAVE the phone. I'm just so flustered!"
<Batgirl>
"I just need a quiet place from which to call?"
<The Manipulator> **Mr. Ersatz raises an eyebrow.**
* Batgirl
looks at you, full lips parting.
<The Manipulator> **"Certainly, ummm...there is a courtyard
between here and the gymnasium, is that discreet enough for you?**
* Batgirl
scratches her head.
<Batgirl>
"Well, I hate to be a bit of a pain, but...I need to take
and give notes..."
<The Manipulator> "Oh, not at all!"
* Batgirl
moves a hair closer to Ersatz.
<The Manipulator> **There's the library, directly across from
here. There are numerous study rooms." Ersatz notices you
leaning closer.**
* Batgirl
's perfume fills the air. "Yes! That would be wonderful!"
<The Manipulator> **"Shall I escort you?"**
<Batgirl>
"No, no need...I'll be fine..."
<The Manipulator> **"Okay, as you wish. I'll meet you in
front of the library in 30 minutes?"**
<Batgirl>
"Perfect."
* Batgirl
leans in even closer, as if to give a kiss, then pulls away suddenly
and quickly makes her way to the library.
* The Manipulator
watches your tight ass sashay out of the room.
* Batgirl
, once alone, slips down to the basement level of the library
through a door marked "library personnel only."
* Batgirl
looks around, remembering her college days, the campus reminding
her of...
<Batgirl>
"Yes!"
* Batgirl
enters the school's steam tunnel system, changing quickly, leaving
the briefcase behind in the darkness.
* Batgirl
makes her way through the tunnels, using her flashlight to find
the door marked "Main Building."
<Batgirl>
"Here goes nothing."
* Batgirl
taps the door as she slowly turns the handle, unsure of what's
on the other side.
* Batgirl
enters and old stone cellar, damp, musty, with a pair of wooden
stairs leading up.
<Batgirl>
**crreeeeak**
* Batgirl
stops dead.
* Batgirl
listens.
<The Manipulator> **silence**
* Batgirl
presses her foot against the next step.
<Batgirl>
*creeeeeeeeaaaaak*
* Batgirl
grits her teeth.
* Batgirl
closes her eyes, and pulls herself up, all but laying on the railing.
* Batgirl
wraps her fingers around the doorknob, ear to the door.
* Batgirl
turns the knob slowly...
<Batgirl>
**click!**
* Batgirl>
hears hushed conversation between what sounds like Ms. Fugazi
and someone else, then muffled grunts, then what seems like an
elevator door slide open then shut.
* Batgirl
winces, hoping the elevator masked the click.
* Batgirl
hears the lift moving.
* Batgirl
presses the door open an inch and peers through the crack, holding
her breath
* Batgirl
emerges into a storeroom full of office supplies. Between the
racks is a shiny silver elevator with a code passkey slot.
* Batgirl
breathes a sigh of relief, then hears someone turn the knob on
the door across from her, coming from the offices.
* Batgirl
steps quickly behind a rack of office supplies, keeping low.
* Batgirl
sees, dressed in a professional pantsuit, but still it is unmistakably...FACADE!!!*
<The Manipulator> **Facade pulls out a code key, looking stern,
and heads for the elevator door.**
* Batgirl
shakes her head, stifling the urge to mumble.
* Batgirl
steps quietly up behind Facade, waiting until the elevator door
opens.
<The Manipulator> **The door slides open and Facade pauses, turns
her head.**
* Batgirl
quickly wraps her hand around Facade's mouth and drags her into
the elevator.
<The Manipulator> **"MMMMMMPPPPHHHH!!!!"**
* Batgirl
snarls into Facade's ear, "Did you miss me?"
<The Manipulator> **Facade elbows you in the ribs.**
<The Manipulator> **"MPMMPTHHHHH"**
* Batgirl
tightens her grip around Facades face, lifting her by the
mouth.
<The Manipulator> **Facade bites the hand pressing against her
lips.**
<Batgirl>
"ARRRRRGGGGHHH!"
<The Manipulator> **Facade elbows you in the ribs again.**
* Batgirl
charges Facade, slamming her against the wall.
<The Manipulator> **"OOOF!" Bitch!**
<Batgirl>
"You have NOOOOOO idea..."
<The Manipulator> **Facade jabs you in the sternum.**
<Batgirl>
**OOOOOOf!!!!**
* Batgirl
grabs a handful of Facade's hair.
<The Manipulator> **"No, it is you who has no idea..."**
<The Manipulator> **"AIGGGHHH!!!!"**
* Batgirl
yanks hard, slamming Facade to the floor.
* Batgirl
presses her knee into Facade's back.
<The Manipulator> **Facade gasps in pain.**
* Batgirl
pulls back on Facade's head as her arms flail.
<Batgirl>
"What floor are we going to?"
<The Manipulator> **Facade pants. "You'll see, bitch."**
* Batgirl
wraps her arm under Facade's and through, pulling her into a standing
position, holding Facade in front of her body.
* Batgirl
stands, facing the elevator doors, waiting for them to open.
<The Manipulator> **Facade sneers.**
<The Manipulator> **The doors slide open, to a long corridor,
with steel doors lining the sides. Each door has a small window.
Cries of teenage feminine agony and fury echo.**
* Batgirl
"Going...OUT!"
* Batgirl
kicks Facade out of the elevator as the door closes.
* Batgirl
looks up and opens the elevator escape hatch.
* Batgirl
hugs the top of the elevator as it jolts, moving slowly down.
* Batgirl
waits for the elevator to pass the next level, hanging to the
ropes, stepping over the narrow ledge at the doors.
* Batgirl
looks down, feeling a bit dizzy
* Batgirl
clutches at the split in the doors, gritting her teeth and pulling
hard. Finally the doors begin to give way.
* Batgirl
looks down to see the elevator rising below her.
<Batgirl>
"Damn!"
* Batgirl
struggles with the doors, the elevator inching closer, her body
tumbling out the doors seconds before the elevator slides by.
*Batgirl lands at the feet of Ms. Fugazi, who has Joanie, upper
torso cinched with leather straps.
<The Manipulator> **A black leather strap is wrapped tightly around
Joanies mouth. Fugazi looks in horror, just holding the
syringe at Joanie's neck, transfixed by the sudden entrance.**
* Batgirl
whips her foot up at Fugazi's hand, sending the syringe flying.
<Batgirl>
"Let her go!!!"
*Batgirl finds shes in a dimly lit corridor. A nearby sign
with an arrow pointing down it says "severe behavior modification."
* Batgirl
slams a fist into Fugazi's face.
* Batgirl
looks at Joanie.
<The Manipulator> **Fugazi slumps to the floor, unconscious.**
<Batgirl>
"If at first you don't succeed, punch 'em in the face."
* Batgirl
winks.
<The Manipulator> **Joanie looks at you, panting for breath in
relief. She smiles under the muzzle.**
* Batgirl
unstraps Joanie quickly, watching the empty halls for company.
* Batgirl
grabs Joanie by the shoulders.
<Batgirl>
"What's going on here?"
<The Manipulator> **"Oh god! Am I glad to see you!"**
* Batgirl
pulls Joanie into a stairwell.
<The Manipulator> **"This ain't no reform school, Batgirl!"**
<Batgirl>
"I somehow suspected that. And I know who's behind it."
<The Manipulator> **"Mr. Ersatz
How'd that reporter
get you here so fast?"**
<Batgirl>
"Are there others like you...who are...less reformed?"
* Batgirl
smiles.
<The Manipulator> **"Yes! We all start here...next floor
up. Mr. Ersatz meets us one by one
plugs our mouths...blindfolds
us...plugs our ears and ties us up."**
<Batgirl>
"I'm sure that's such a task for him, too."
<The Manipulator> **"This place hasn't been open that long...*sobs*
Nobody's
gone the whole way thru yet."**
* Batgirl
growls.
<The Manipulator> **"After he ties us up, we see shit...weird
shit...scary shit."**
<Batgirl>
"I knew it. He's here. He's Ersatz."
<The Manipulator> **"I just got out of The Hall, we call
it. Oh man."**
* Batgirl
thinks quickly.
<Batgirl>
"Joanie, can you go back and pretend for me? I need them
to think nothing is unusual here for now."
<The Manipulator> **"Sure. What can I do, Batgirl?"**
* Batgirl
uses her batrope to tie Fugazi securely, then drags Fugazi to
a locking storage cabinet.
<The Manipulator> **Fugazi starts to stir, mumbling.**
<Batgirl>
"Just go back and act as if your treatment worked."
* Batgirl
works as she talks.
* Batgirl
looks around for something.
<The Manipulator> **"Sure," Joanie says.
* Batgirl
tears off a pocket from Fugazi's labcoat and stuffs it into her
mouth.
<The Manipulator> **Fugazi's eyes flutter open. "Huh? whaMMMMMMPPPPHHH!!!"**
* Batgirl
grabs at a sleeve of the labcoat.
<Batgirl>
**RIIIPPPPPPP!!!!**
<The Manipulator> **Fugazi looks up at you, just realizing she's
tied up.**
* Batgirl
presses it hard between Fugazi's teeth and knots it tightly behind
her hair.
<The Manipulator> **"MPPPPPPGGGGGHHHHH!!"**
* Batgirl
shuts the door and locks the cabinet.
<Batgirl>
"Joanie, go...do whatever is normal for you after your treatment,
got it? Not a word!"
<The Manipulator> **"You want me to get help, Batgirl?"**
<Batgirl>
"No. Nobody. Not yet."
<The Manipulator> **Joanie nods, presses the button, and heads
up the elevator.**
* Batgirl
heads up the stairwell one floor. Stays to the side of the door
at the next floor, peering through the glass to make sure its
clear before she steps out into the hallway.
*Batgirl is alone in the corridor. Arrows point SEVERE BEHAVIOR
MODIFICATION to the right.
RUMPUS ROOM AND WET BAR to the
left. Screams echo from the direction of severe behavior modification.
* Batgirl
looks above her, fingers curling around a large grate.
* Batgirl
hoists her self up into the ceiling, pulling the grate closed
behind her.
<The Manipulator> **The screams stop.**
*Batgirl hears a familiar voice talking in normal tones, but angry.
* Batgirl
follows the shrill echoes, stopping over the room of their origin.
* Batgirl
kneels, motionless, barely breathing
* Batgirl
watches through the grate
<The Manipulator> **Whoever the male voice was, is gone. All that
is seen is Faux, pacing as though she has something on her mind.**
<The Manipulator> **"Should've let me finish her off,"
Faux mutters.
* Batgirl
feels the grate rattle, dropping suddenly to the floor.
<Batgirl>
"DAMMIT!"
* Batgirl
springs to her feet, facing Faux.
<The Manipulator> **Faux jumps out of the way. "Shit! you!"**
<Batgirl>
"Uh...take me to your leader?"
* Batgirl
grins.
<The Manipulator> **Faux circles you in the ready position, waiting
for you to strike. "Ha! Looks like you came to him. You'll
get to see our little program at work."**
<Batgirl>
"Must we go through this time and time again? I hit you.
You hit me. You hurt I hurt. I win."
<The Manipulator> **"NO!" a voice from the shadows behind
her says. A young, female voice...**
<Batgirl>
"Let's just cut to the part where you show me where he is,
okay?"
* Batgirl
turns, quickly.
<The Manipulator> **"Go to the chamber. Daddy said so,"
the young voice says to Faux. "She's mine."**
* Batgirl
bristles at the word "daddy."
* Batgirl
walks closer to the girl, speaking in soothing tones.
<Batgirl>
"If you'll just...let me help you..."
<The Manipulator> **Faux mutters under her breath, then sneers
at you and leaves.**
*Batgirl sees from the shadows a familiar pair of black leather
boots and the tight leather of a black catsuit. Up, past the ample,
leathercoated bosom, is a young face, a familiar face, the Manipulator's
schoolgirl hostage from the last encounter. Her chestnut brown
hair is pulled tightly back in a ponytail.
* Batgirl
's eyes widen. "NO!"
<The Manipulator> **The girl says "Daddy told me to warm
you up for his cock."**
* Batgirl
's faces twists into a pained expression as the girl relays her
orders.
* Batgirl
walks closer to the girl, offering her hand.
<The Manipulator> **"You can call me VENEER(tm)."**
<Batgirl>
"I can help you."
<The Manipulator> **Veneer gets into the martial arts position.
"Daddy said you'd try to talk your way out of it. Daddy says
youre very smart.**
<Batgirl>
"Oh, is that what daddy says?"
<The Manipulator> **Veneer circles you, watching you like a tiger
eyeing it's prey.**
<The Manipulator> **"I love my daddy, and Im going
to bring you to him."**
<Batgirl>
"Your daddy is a sick man."
<The Manipulator> **"Daddy said I can ask you once to come
with me willingly
"**
* Batgirl
maintains her nonthreatening pose
<The Manipulator> **If you don't, I have to make you hurt.**
<Batgirl>
"Daddy..."
* Batgirl
turns her back to the girl, watching from the corner of her eye.
<The Manipulator> **"Will you come with me, or do I have
to hurt you...?"**
<Batgirl>
"
can go to hell."
<The Manipulator> **"Daddy said you'd act this way."**
* Batgirl
whips around, sweeping her legs behind Veneer's, dropping her
to the floor.
<The Manipulator> **Veneer quickly springs back up, somersaults
back into the ready position and circles you some more. "I
have to hurt you now."**
<Batgirl>
"Sprightly lil thing, aren't you?"
<The Manipulator> **Veneer spinkicks you in the chin with blinding
speed, then chops you in the throat.**
<Batgirl>
"ARRRRRRGGGGHHH!"
* Batgirl
gives Veneer a flying kick to the chest.
<The Manipulator> **"Aarrggh!"**
<Batgirl>
"Sorry, hun. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do."
<The Manipulator> **Veneer kicks you in the face.**
* Batgirl
catches Veneer's foot, holding it still.
* Batgirl
twists her foot up at the ankle.
<The Manipulator> **Veneer rabbit kicks in the side of the head
you with her free leg.**
* Batgirl
drops the ankle, trying to shake the kick off.
* Batgirl
feels a bit of blood at her temple.
<Batgirl>
"Daddy needs to teach you some manners."
<The Manipulator> **Veneer recoils and pulls a plastic pouch out
of a hidden pocket on her suit, pulls out a pair of black gloves
and puts them on. A sweet smell emanates from them...familiar...**
* Batgirl
whips the batrope into the air, landing it around Veneers shoulders
in a perfect circle, pulling her to the floor.
<The Manipulator> **Veneer slams her foot into your left knee.**
* Batgirl
crumples to the floor.
<Batgirl>
"Uuuuuggggghhhh!"
<The Manipulator> **Veneer sheds the lasso and clenches her blackgloved
hands into fists.**
<The Manipulator> **As she punches you in the mouth, a sweet,
narcotic odor emanates from the gloves.**
* Batgirl
reels from the punch, brain feeling fuzzy.
* Batgirl
charges Veneer.
<The Manipulator> **Veneer throws her hands up into your face,
over your mouth.**
* Batgirl
pulls backward, staggering to move away from the hands as best
she can.
<The Manipulator> **Veneer jumps on you, wrapping her young legs
around your waist, pressing her hands into your face.**
* Batgirl
struggles to catch her breath, her lungs filling with the chemical
soaked air.
* Batgirl
drops to her knees.
<The Manipulator> **Veneer grabs the back of your head with one
hand and holds the other leatherclad glove over your mouth, right
under your nostrils.**
* Batgirl
's body sways to and fro at the waist.
<The Manipulator> **"Daddy will be so happy."**
<Batgirl>
"mmmmpphhhh...mmpph..mm........"
<The Manipulator> **Veneer smiles, watching you breathe and grunt.**
