windandwater[Scene: GW Common Room]
[Wufei enters the room. Everyone is seated (more or less) ont he couch. ACtually, Heero, Trowa and Quatre are sitting on the couch while Duo is sprawled across all of their laps.]
Duo: [looks up] So, did Relena take the bait?
Wufei: [he shoves Heero over so her can sit on the couch, Duo wiggles and puts his head on Wufei's lap instead] Yes. Relena is going to make sure your double is preoccupied while we work. [raising an eyebrow] And may I say that your idea was one of the cruelst, most inhumane things you could have done.
Duo: [shrugs] I'm keeping Relena happy, aren't I? Besides, this is important.
Quatre: [idly rubbing Duo's leg] But still... killing a Muse. Do you know how notoriously difficult that is, Duo? We don't just *die* for no reason. Muses can even be resurrected after YEARS of neglect.
Wufei: [snorts] That's certainly true in *this* place.
Duo: But there's GOT to be some way to get rid of this guy! I mean, it wouldn't be so bad if he stayed in his OWN place and tormented his Writer, but he's got to come over here and muck things up.
Heero: Is that why you had that reaction to him?
Duo: Huh? Oh, you mean the spazzing? Yeah. It's the Writer's own Rule. No two of any Muse is allowed in the Castle. That's why we've all got a ton of Modes... it takes the place of having, like, a dozen me's running around.
Wufei: [dryly] A true horror no one should ever have to face.
Duo: Hey!
Trowa: Still... we're not just planning on killing a Muse... we're going to kill some *other* Writer's Muse. Is this even allowed?
Duo: From what the Writer, our Writer, told me... She's all aboard the homicide train. Actually, she pretty pissed that the other Writer invaded like this.
Heero: Well, I wouldn't want to clean up anyone else's mistakes either. Our Writer has a tough enough time dealing with all the stuff that happens here.
Wufei: So... how do we kill him? Ordinary methods won't work on Muses.
Quatre: [thinking] What if... what if he wasn't a Muse?
[everyone looks at him]
Quatre: What? It's obvious, isn't it? If WT!Duo wasn't a Muse, we would be able to dispose of him easily. Duo said it himself... there aren't multiples of Muses in this Castle because we all have Modes.
Duo: You mean... you actually want me to...
Quatre: Take him as a template for a Mode.
Duo: [stands up abruptly] YOU *WANT* ME TO HAVE A MODE!SHIFT LIKE THAT?!
Quatre: [stands up and tries to placate Duo] I didn't mean it like that! You wouldn't have to use the Mode at all! Just once. Then it can all be forgotten!
Heero: Quatre's right. If WT!Duo was a Mode, then he could either be destroyed, or shifted to a more normal state. Either way, it would fulfill our objectives.
Duo: I can't believe this! You guyz are actually serious about this.
Wufei: We want him dead, Duo. Then everything can go back to normal.
Duo: [sighs] Okay... okay, fine. I suppose I could breed up some sort of bunny that would turn him into a Mode. I'll even [shudder] work it.
Trowa: There's only one problem with our plan.
Quatre: And what's that?
Trowa: WT!Duo is het.
[everyone winces]
Duo: [evil gleam in his eyes] I think... I think I have a way around that particular problem. But I'll need everyone's help.

"You're crazy!"
"I can't believe you're even suggesting something like this!"
"What?! It'll work! Really!"
"The idea does... have its merits..."
"So says the guy in uberslut!mode."
"We can all go uberslut!..."
"Do you know what kind of damage we would cause?"
"... it might be fun..."
"Oh, Allah! This is all sorts of kink that I didn't know existed!"
"Does this mean you'll do it?"
"[sigh] Anything once, right?"
"Do you think this is gonna get recorded?"
"Do you *want* one?"
"... we're sick... sick..."
"Oh, shut up! I don't see you coming up with a better plan!"
"We're going to hell for this, aren't we?"
"Yup."
