Claudia waited. She knew full well her predilection towards... certain embarrassing situations. So she was confused thoroughly by Artie's decision to send her to retrieve an Artifact... in the ancestral home of the Marquis de Sade. She had brought the Ball Gag along with her, keeping it in a hidden jacket pocket. She did so, due to the other aspect she was confused about; Artie had assigned Kakeru to aid her with the retrieval. It was a nice touch, but entirely unnecessary. Well, maybe somewhat necessary, due to her propensity for.... situations.
She waited, in the woods by the side of the road leading up to the manor, leaning against a tree.

Kakeru sat in a tree above Claudia, rubbing his neck where the Tesla burn had set in. Under his breath, he shot complaints about the mission, mainly about why he had to escort Claudia to such a ridiculous place. What Kakeru neglected to account for was the earpiece and mic he'd had rigged into his Farnsworth, sending his complaints straight to Artie, who sat at his desk, rubbing his bruised cheek. "Maybe if you weren't so violent to your superiors, you'd get better assignments. Moron."

Claudia stepped a little ways away from the tree, looking back and forth on the road. She saw the Manor, simply waiting in one direction, and dreaded having to go there. She turned away, and wondered where Kakeru might be.

With a sigh, Kakeru switched off his comm. With a quiet grunt, he leaned forward slightly, allowing himself to fall to the ground, landing on his feet mere inches behind Claudia. "Boo, kiddo." He said, despite the mere two year difference between them. Even when he was in a grump, he always got a kick out of poking fun at Claudia.

Claudia leapt forward a little, raising a fist to strike. She lowered it upon seeing it was Kakeru.
"Nice of you to finally join me." Claudia said. "What say you we get this over with?"

Kakeru chuckled, stepping out past her nonchalantly. "The sooner the better. This place creeps me out. It just doesn't feel...right, you know?" He said, faking a light shudder. He was, however, being honest, as the manor gave him an odd vibe, like an unforeseen danger.

"Well, I'm not looking forward to this. You know of my.... propensity." Claudia said. "This is the manor of the man who all but invented bondage and sadism- this is not going to be fun for me. Let's get this over with." She began walking towards the manor.

Kakeru laughed as he continued to walk, arms up and hands behind his head. "Hey, at least you're used to it. I get the feeling I'm gonna lose my black cherry in here, or something. It's a scary thought for a guy like me, y'know."

"Relax. I'll take the lead and trigger anything. I'm the flexible one here." Claudia said. "I can handle it." She pushed the gate to the grounds open and made sure to stay on the path, avoiding the overgrown grass of the front lawn.

Kakeru followed closely behind, reaching for two of his four Teslas. If there were anything alive, he'd be prepared to zap the hell out of it.

Claudia stopped right before stepping up to the door. "If the movies seem to agree on one thing, it's that with old houses like this, there's always a trap right in front of the front door." She looked down at the square of ancient concrete right in front of the door.

Kakeru chuckled a bit loudly. "It's scary how often they're right." He said, reaching down for a stone off the ground. "Step aside. If there is something, this should set it off." He waited a moment for her to step aside, before tossing the stone onto the porch.

Nothing.
"Good, no trap." Claudia said, steeping onto the porch. Suddenly, there was a sound like gears beginning to turn, and the door swung open. Before she could register anything, the concrete beneath her feet threw her forward into the building, before the door slammed shut, with a sound like a bolt engaging. One might hear muffled shouts from inside.

"Sunuvabitch." He hadn't accounted for a weight requirement on the pressure plate, and didn't have a chance to grab Claudia as he stepped back to avoid the trap. With a huff of annoyance, he fell into a sumo stance his father taught him, and yelled. "DOSUKOI!" As the word escaped his lips, he thrust his arm forward, his open palm slamming into the door and shattering it. As the dust settled, he walked in, careful to step completely over the stoop and into the manor.

After an initial moment of amazement, Claudia started screaming at Kakeru. The trap had bound her with leather, with her legs bent all the way, her arms behind her back, and hanging from the extravagant chandelier, a good ten feet off the floor. She also had a bright red ball gag jammed into her mouth.
