[RL with Junpei]

[screwloose]

Stein's laboratory was...impressive, and rather creepy. It was an oddly-shaped building, like several huge stone boxes all jumbled together with small windows. The largest part was shaped like an arrow, thrusting upwards towards the sky. Lines of what looked like stitching crawled across the face of the building, each 'stitch' at least a foot long.

The building was surrounded by a wrought-iron fence, the top a forest of points, and there were several scraggly trees planted around the grounds. The trees were devoid of leaves, and each branch ended in an arrowpoint.

A whirring sound could be heard by Junpei's foot and he might look down to see a mouse scuttling by, but the mouse looked and sounded mechanical, its skin formed of random patches of fabric all stitched together roughly.

Welcome to Dr. Franken Stein's Laboratory.

His taunting didn't help matters at all. The more frustrated Junpei got, the harder his punches became - but the wilder his aim became at the same time. He didn't feel any kind of power except for his own increasing rage, and that wasn't exactly special.

"Ngh! How... much more... do you want?!" he spat angrily, swinging again.

He was so busy trying to hit the man that he didn't even see the foot, and it managed to knock him off balance. He swayed for a moment before toppling backwards, windmilling his arms in an effort to save himself. In the end, it made little difference, and he landed flat on his backside.

"This isn't working," he grumbled irritably. "I don't think that's how my power works."
