(( )) *It had taken a long time, and a lot of suffering of his captive's complaints, but at last everything that had been in the inn's attic had been transferred here. It had taken some doing, as he'd had to be especially secretive at this castle (other tenants hanging around, after all), and still needed to keep Moreau from escaping. But here it was, at last, at last... A string of cursing in French broke through Victor's thoughts, and he threw an annoyed glare at Moreau, who was chained to the wall* "Would shut your fool mouth for five minutes?! No one can think with that constant stream of prattle!"

*Moreau glared at Victor...then grinned as he shifted, the chains rattling*
"Ah, how the mighty have fallen. Not so perfect now, are you?"

"Fallen? Perhaps. But not without someone pushing me."
*He took a few steps toward Moreau, halting just out of arm's reach*
"And how does it feel, doctor, to have our positions reversed?"

*Moreau sneered at Victor, though a tiny part of him wanted to cringe away*
"I've never been against bondage. I simply didn't think you'd be the kind up for it."

*For a moment, it looked as though Victor was going to hit him. But just as quickly as that moment had appeared, it went past. Instead, he half-turned away from Moreau, bearing an air of indifference*
"I see what you're trying to do--don't bother, it won't work."
*He turned back*
"You won't provoke me so easily."

*Moreau leaned forward, or as much as the chains would allow*
"Come now, Victor. It's not so much me provoking you so much as it's...encouraging you. Like it or not, you do have it in you to be what I am."
*He tilted his head to one side, as though trying to see the other man better*
"That part of you just needs to be nudged out into the open."

*A dark look crossed over his features, and it took a lot of willpower not just lash out and strike Moreau*
"I am nothing like you. You're a foul, disgusting creature who has very little in common with actual human beings. You're a parody of a man."
*He turned on his heel, intending to continue with what remained of the set-up for the lab*

*Moreau laughed*
"Oh, how self-righteous you are! But you seem to forget, dear Victor, your own foibles."
*He glanced about the lab*
"Tell me, how does it feel to play God?"

*He froze in his tracks*
"I...did not play God. I am working toward the betterment of man's existence--"

"Oh, spare me that tripe, Victor! How can you possibly be bettering mankind by turning it into a population of monsters? Because that's what your lovely experiment does, doesn't it? Patchwork people, stumping about the countryside in a vain attempt at playing human--"

"--no need ever fear death! None have to suffer an early grave because of illness, or accident, or because some twisted mind snuffed them out! All that lost time need not be lost--"

"You are delusional! You can't cheat death, and besides, look what your attempts have caused--pain and suffering. Oh yes, I know what happened...your first creation. The incidents. Did you think you could keep that a complete secret?"

*There was an almost wild look in Victor's eye...a strange look on his face, as though two emotions were at war with each other*
"I only meant to do good..." He said, his voice almost too low to be heard.

*Moreau rolled his eyes*
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

*Victor rounded on him, eyes flashing*
"You're one to talk! You and your horrifying experiments! You condemn me, but you, sir--you are far worse than I could ever be! Those poor creatures you tortured...and for some, their very existence was pain! If anyone is going to hell, it is you."
