Day after the Halloween incident, Joe goes to Trina’s office to give her a bunch of roses that were delivered at the MBI’s door. Apparently the racoon sent them as a token of his love for Trina and to let her know he was on his way to annoying Steele. The two talked a bit until Josie came by to hand in her report on Halloween’s basement adventure. Joe left and after Trina and Josie talked a bit concerning the whole ordeal, Josie left too. Trina went to find Joe who asked her if she’d like to go out with him for lunch. Trina agreed and the two discussed things to get to know one another and had a nice lunch. Josie went and talked with Leo about the basement adventure and had him go with her to check it out. The basement had reverted back to normal however, so Leo was spared the nightmare.
<JosephForge> ::where be’s the Trina since her mun wants to see evilness?::
<JosieLyons> ((LOL!))
<JosieLyons> ::issa in compy lab, typing up rest of report! this sounds so crazy, she’s not sure if she should turn it in XD::

<JosephForge> <Roses>::have card!::
<JosieLyons> ((<note>::”Roses are red, violets are blue, I’m harrassing Steele nicely, just for you. Love, your eternal soul mate, R. A. Coon.”::))

<JosieLyons> ::blinks and looks up at Leo as she puts the forms all nice and neat with the repot. nods:: Yes it is finally. Be glad you weren’t here for this strange… occurance.
<JosephForge> <Card>” My dear sweet Katrina. I long for the sight of your beauty once more. Steele is rather an annoying tom to bother, but it is all worth it so that one day we may be joined in holy matrimony. Enjoy these roses, my sweet. They are almost as beautiful as you. Forever your love, Emperor Racoon”
<JosephForge> ::leaned in doorway watching her::
<LeoSK> Strange? What happened? ::tilts his head::
<JosieLyons> ((::DIES! XDDD::))
<TrinaKorat> …. Oh… for… crying…. out… loud…
<JosephForge> ::quirks an eyebrow:: What is it?
<JosieLyons> Short version, Archaeo, is that some racoon took over the basement with his racoon minions and tried to take over the Bureau unless the lieutenant professed her love for him. ::serious look to her face lol::
<JosephForge> ((<Leo>O_o Okay….i’m leaving now. k! goobye! ::runs outta there!::
<JosephForge> ))
<JosieLyons> ((LOL!))
<TrinaKorat> ::gives it to him:: Apparently the raccoon is still hopeful.
<JosephForge> ::takes and reads. snickers:: Apparently so. I think you got an admirer. ::hands the card back to her::
<LeoSK> (augh Brb 10 monutes))
<TrinaKorat> Oh, no. Nononononononono…
<JosephForge> Awwwwww whats the matter? you don’t like the little critter? ::trying not to bust out laughing::
<TrinaKorat> Am I supposed to? ::smirking::
<JosieLyons> ::takes up file and exits the office area. heads towards onna the head officers here office::
<JosephForge> I dunno. ::chuckles:: Never thought in all my days I’d see something like that.
<TrinaKorat> ::sighs:: I’m hoping that thing will forget about me eventually.
<JosephForge> Maybe so. So..you got anything else you need help with before you hurt yourself?
<TrinaKorat> Naw. It was just that one box. Thanks, tho’. ::goes to unpack that there box::
<JosieLyons> ::knocks on teh Trina’s door! or Jase’s if he’s there too::
<TrinaKorat> ::on mine, as I’ll only be RPing one tonight::
<JosieLyons> ::then your door, is it open?::
<JosephForge> ::perks ear at the door:: I’ll get out of your way now, Lt. ::opens door to leave and let Josie in. nods polietly to her and heads for his desk!::
<JosieLyons> ::returns nod to Joe as he goes by, enters the office. salutes Trina, file in other hand::
<TrinaKorat> You don’t have….. to. ::as he leaves:: Nevermind. ::XD::
<JosieLyons> Sorry, ma’am. I didn’t mean to interrupt anything, ma’am.
<JosephForge> ::hey! I can be followed! XD takes seat to go to work on his own report::
<TrinaKorat> That’s alright. What can I help you with, Lyons?
<JosieLyons> ::stops saluting, hands her the folder all stiff like and proper lol:: The report on Halloween’s experience in the basement, ma’am.
<TrinaKorat> Hoo boy. ::grinning:: Thanks, Lyons.
<JosieLyons> Ma’am, yes ma’am. ::salutes again, waiting to be dismissed::
<TrinaKorat> ::reads a few, then nods:: Thanks. Sulfur’s not gonna believe this.
<JosieLyons> I hardly believe it myself, ma’am.
<TrinaKorat> I still wonder if we were all dreaming that night.
<JosieLyons> Have you sent a team down there yet, ma’am?
<TrinaKorat> I don’t think I want to. ::eyes sorta wide::
<JosieLyons> Well it should be looked at, ma’am. We can’t have that presence in our building. It’s a security risk.
<LeoSK> ((back x.x))
<JosephForge> ((WB))
<JosieLyons> ((<Trina> Forge! Go check the basement! <Joe> … you go! <Tasha> She meant you! You go! <Joe> No YOU go! <Tasha> YOU!))
<JosieLyons> ((wb!))
<JosephForge> ((::DIIES!::))
<TrinaKorat> ::nods: Well, I’ll see how I need to call first.
<TrinaKorat> (::DEAD::))
<JosieLyons> ::nods:: Right, ma’am. May I be dismissed now, ma’am?
<TrinaKorat> ::nods: Of course. And, thanks again.

<JosieLyons> ::turns to Leo:: It’s a long story, Archaeo. You sure you want to hear it?
<TrinaKorat> ::is carrying a vase of roses to at least ‘freshen up’ the workroom::
<LeoSK> I kinda do…You really confused me there…
<JosephForge> <Tasha>::gets up:: Um…I’m headed for my desk. I had enough of coons for now. ::leaves to go back to her desk! as mun can only tackle one herself tonight::
<JosephForge> ::notes her. smirks:: Gonna show off your flowers?
<TrinaKorat> Or stay away from them, whichever comes first.
<JosieLyons> ::chuckles at that, sits down:: Pull up a chair then. ::and tells Leo the story!::
<JosephForge> ::laughs. stands up and picks up a few things on desk.:: I’m heading off to lunch. Need me to bring something back or you wanna go or wanna stay here and admire the flowers?
<TrinaKorat> …. I’ll go. I need to get away from here.
<JosephForge> ::chuckles:: Good. You can tell me whats good to eat around here. I have no clue.
<LeoSK> ::sits and listens!:: Jus’ a lil’ crazy…
<TrinaKorat> You mean all the time you’ve been here, you’ve never been to MKC’s best rib joint? I’m appalled.
<JosephForge> Best rib joint? hmm..musta missed that in the “Things to do in MKC” brochure. ::smirks::
<JosieLyons> A little? ::chuckles:: Try stark raving mad. The Lieutenant hasn’t sent anyone down there yet… I hope it’s back to normal now.
<TrinaKorat> ::smirks back:: Well, I’m gonna have to take you there, then…
<JosephForge> Alright. Lead the way, or do we have to drive?
<TrinaKorat> Drive. Do you, or should I?
<JosephForge> I don’t mind. Its whatever you wanna do.
<LeoSK> I don’t even wanna go deal with something like..that
<TrinaKorat> Whatever *I* wanna do? ::arches a brow::
<JosieLyons> ::smirks:: Not yellow furred are you?
<JosephForge> Um yeah…if you wanna drive you can. Or I can drive. I’m not particular.
<TrinaKorat> Fine. You drive, then. ::grins::
<JosephForge> ::laughs:: Okay. ::pulls out keys and takes her to his truck. unlocks doors and opens hers for her. His daddy raised a gentletom!::
<TrinaKorat> Thank you. ::sits in seat::
<JosephForge> Welcome. ::gets in and starts it up:: How do I get there?
<LeoSK> ::shrugs:: why put myself in harms way intentionaly? Well, for a raccoon
<JosieLyons> Because it will help your place of work?
<TrinaKorat> Just drive down the road. I’ll tell you when.
<JosephForge> ::laughs:: Okay. ::takes off down the road:: How long you lived round here anyway?
<TrinaKorat> A few years. Came here after I transferred from Katskill University to MKU.
<LeoSK> …that IS a good point..::chin scractes::
<JosephForge> ::nods:: I take it you like it here then.
<JosieLyons> ::finishes up her donut:: You want to go take a look with me?
<LeoSK> Well…allright. ::nods::
<JosieLyons> ::stands up now and grins. heads over to basement. mun assumes that yes, it is back to normal? XD opens door to peer down::
<TrinaKorat> ::shrugs: Slowly getting used to it.
<JosephForge> I know the feeling. Its definitly different. Faster pace than I’m used to.
<TrinaKorat> ::smiles:: You get used to it eventually.
<JosephForge> Suppose I will. ::small smile::
<JosieLyons> ::flips on lightswitch that works this time yey!:: So far so good. ::goes down the steps cautiously, reaches bottom and sighs in relief. nothing down there but a few boxes and crates::
<TrinaKorat> So what about you? Where are you from again?
<JosephForge> A little town called Twilight City. Its about thirty minutes drive from the outskirts of MKC.
<JosieLyons> ((<Joe> And Heaven’s missing an angel, because you’re down here with me. ::cheesy grin:: <Trina> … -_-; ))
<JosephForge> ((::diiies!::))
<LeoSK> ::follows:: It all looks fine..
<TrinaKorat> ((:DEAD!::))
<TrinaKorat> Never been there? Is it quiet?
<JosephForge> ::smirks:: Yeah so long as you ignore the drug trafficing that goes on there. We collect a lot of thugs from the various criminal organizations over there.
<JosieLyons> Yeah, now it does… ::smiles:: It was a totally different place last night. Let’s go back upstairs.
<LeoSK> ::nods:: It sounds like it was nuts!
<TrinaKorat> Huh…
<JosieLyons> It certainly was. ::goes back to breakroom to finish her coffee:: Did you do something for Halloween while off duty?
<JosephForge> Its where a lot of the ‘nip comes from that gets sold over here.
<TrinaKorat> Main city of import and export, huh?
<JosephForge> Basically. Our ‘forcers ain’t set up to handle high volume like the ‘forcers here are so a lot set up over there cause we can’t catch ‘em all.
<TrinaKorat> That’s a real shame…
<JosephForge> Yeah. Dad tries hard but he can’t keep up over there. That and once you get something like that started, its hard to get rid of it totally.
<TrinaKorat> ::nods:: I understand.
<LeoSK> Naah. ::shakes his head:: Wish I had.
<JosephForge> So whats there to do in this town besides go to the rib shack? ::grins::
<JosieLyons> Well why didn’t you then?
<TrinaKorat> Well, there’s the MegaKat Bay, surfing at Anakata Island, the amusement parks, ::lists a few::
<JosephForge> ::chuckles:: sounds like lots to keep me and sis busy for a bit.
<TrinaKorat> ::lkaughs:: Oh, you’ll get tired eventually. ::grins::
<LeoSK> Got caught up with paperwork..family stuff..::shrugs and smiles:: What did you do?
<JosephForge> I’m sure I will. Its her you gotta worry about not getting tired. I swear she’s got endless energy.
<TrinaKorat> Sounds like my brother.
<JosephForge> Oh? He a partier too?
<TrinaKorat> Band member. ::yes, I’ll say he still has his band;;
<JosieLyons> I was here remember? Fighting off vicious ‘coons.
<LeoSK> Oh, oh yes. ::chuckles:: Silly me…
<JosephForge> Uh oh. yeah I knew a few back in high school. They got energy too. Sis..she just club hops on the weekends. Thats why you see her nursing headaches with coffee after the weekends.
<TrinaKorat> I wish I had her energy.
<JosieLyons> ::shakes her head:: Perhaps you need another night off?
<JosephForge> Heh…you and me both. She drags me out sometimes. I’d prefer to be home reading.
<TrinaKorat> ::chuckles:: Really. What are your favorite genres?
<LeoSK> ::shakes his head:: Naah..’m fine
<JosephForge> Mystery, and some historical based novels. Like stuff set back in the mid-evil days, or old Japan and such. I’ll read a fantasy novel every now and then though.
<TrinaKorat> Ohhhhh… ::nods::
<JosephForge> What about you? What do you like to do when not on duty?
<JosieLyons> Well, ::stands now:: I should get back to work myself. It was nice talking with you, Archaeo. ::heads for door::
<TrinaKorat> Unwind, go to the beach and walk. Get away from the city. i like hiking, too.
<JosephForge> Yeah thats what I can’t get used to is the beaches here. We didn’t have them back home. Kinda nice to run down there for a swim from time to time.
<TrinaKorat> It’s a real stress relief. ::smiles::
<JosieLyons> ::and exits breakroom!::
<JosephForge> Indeed it is.
