???: *from behind vibes after the 2 split up* excuse me. Would you mind helping an old man with something

*Vibes smiles*

Vibes: Sure, what can I do for you?

*she turns and is met by a puff of sleeping gas*

*Vibes groans*

Vibes : Uh...w...what the...?

*She is almost instantly knocked out*

*as her vision fades to black she sees a smug familiar face above her*

Haseo: i just need you to be bait for my foolish spawn

*Vibes scowls*

Vibes: Oh crap it's you! He told me all about you, you...creep.

Haseo: hm. I thought for sure that would put you to sleep by now....must be made of stronger stuff *he ignores vibes as he thinks*

*Vibes laughs*

Vibes: Sorry geezer I'm made of sterner...

*She slumps down, knocked out*

Haseo: there it is *he pulls vibes up and carries her away* such a fascinating subject though

*Haseo laughs*

Haseo (thought): And now to set up the trap.
