Ann Gora arrives with camerakat Johnny K. to do a story on the MBI since it’s been appearing every so often in reports as of late. Seems Ann knew Jase from college at Megakat University and the two are old friends. She wants to make the Bureau look good for him, as well as get a scoop. Jason shows Ann around the place and introduces her to a few agents.
Meanwhile in the breakroom, Tasha, Fletch and Hans speak with Stormcrow again to see how her job hunting is going. It isn’t going so well yet, and she asks if maybe she could work in that janitorial position Fletch mentioned was opened awhile back. Tasha says she’s not sure if they can let her do that, and tells her to go speak with either the Director or Captain when either is available.
<JasonKorat> ::so now that he no longer has a headache, is back at work. -g-::
<TashaForge> ::isssa…in the breakroom! sipping coffee and and eating a donut::

<TashaForge> ::next sounds good.::

<Ann_Gora> ::enters the MBI lobby with Johnny K in tow!::
<Ann_Gora> ::BAM! -g-::
<TashaForge> ::oh no! everyone hide!!!!!::
<JasonKorat> ((<Ann> ::BAM!:: <Jason> ::gets hit by a piece of ceiling:: X_X <Ann> ::sighs:: Still accident prone… just like our college years. -_-;))

<TashaForge> ((::diies!::))
<Ann_Gora> ((::DIES::))
<JasonKorat> ((<Johnny> Your college years? <Ann> Oh yeah. Should’ve seen him – broke his leg the very first week of college, broke an arm after mending the leg, cracks his skull on his ex-girlfriend’s chin… <Mun> ::recalling one of her college buds? Oh yes::))
<Ann_Gora> ::her sudden entrance was the BAM. -g- anywho! is there anyone at this dang front desk EVAR? XD peers around. decides to search for Director or even better, Jase! will be evily scheming you all in somehow XD glances in every room she goes by. peeks in breakroom::

<Ann_Gora> ((::DEAD::))
<JasonKorat> ::is out to get coffee! arr!::
<TashaForge> ((::Diiies!:: <Ann> not to mention that little broken arm incident while singing the song “Accident waiting to happen”))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((*dies*))
<TashaForge> ::smiles at Ann:: Um..hi there. Can I help you?
<JasonKorat> ((::DEad!!::))
<Ann_Gora> ((::dies!::))
<LizzieSelkirk> ::left the MBI yesterday and is roaming the street once again, looking for cafes and such where she might get a job. Has not had any luck so far, but is still hopeful::
<Ann_Gora> ::smiles:: Ah at last, an agent. I was begining to wonder if City Hall changed their minds. ::goes into room with Johnny:: Is the Director around or Captain Korat?
<JasonKorat> ::sits back down at his desk with his cuppa’ java, blinks, frowns at folder Mark left on his desk::
<TashaForge> Hmm…Not sure. I can radio and see where he is if you like.
<Ann_Gora> Would you please? I’d appreciate it. ::smiles::
<TashaForge> Sure. ::gets out radio:: Director Sulfer or Captain Korat. Are either of you in the building? ::XD::
<JasonKorat> ::picks up radio, distractedly, reading paperwork:: This is Korat.
<TashaForge> Captain, Miss Ann Gora is here wanting to see you.
<Ann_Gora> <Jonny>::filming the breakroom XD did going down the halls some too XD::
<JasonKorat> ::blinks: Send her to my office.
<TashaForge> ::don’t you be fliming me!::
<TashaForge> ((^filming))
<JasonKorat> ((::DEAD!:))
<TashaForge> Yes, Sir. ::gets up:: Alright. Right this way, Miss Gora. ::leads her outta the breakroom!::
<Ann_Gora> ((::dies::
<Ann_Gora> ))
<TashaForge> ((Shush!))
<Ann_Gora> ::follows Tasha along with Johnny who wouldn’t dare flim! It sounds like bad work ethics!::
<TashaForge> ::knocks on Jason’s door!::
<JasonKorat> ::puts away folder in “look at later – urgent” file:: Come in.
<TashaForge> ::opens door:: Ann Gora to see you. ::smiles and steps back to let them in.::
<Ann_Gora> ::goes inside, Johnny like mah shadow XD:: Long time no see, Jase. Or should I call you “Captain”? ::grins::
<Ann_Gora> <Johnny>::smiles at Tasha! she’s nice. ^_^::
<TashaForge> ::thats what you think, Johnny boy. XD Bwhahahahahaha! er…no. I am nice here, mun! XD will leave them be now and return to the breakroom!::
<JasonKorat> Thanks. :to Tasha, then grins at Ann:: Depends on whether or not you decide to use formality. ::goes pick her up inna hug::
<Ann_Gora> Awk! ::picked up and laughs, returns hug:: Don’t drop me now. ::smirks:: <Johnny>::lol evil lurks in Tasha? XD::
<TashaForge> ::maybe….XD::
<JasonKorat> Hey, now, I’ve gotten better. ::grinning, sets her down::
<TashaForge> ::Returneths to the breakroom to her donuts and coffee!::
<Ann_Gora> ::is set down:: I see you’ve come up in the world some in the past six months. I also heard rumors that City Hall may be pressured into revoking their decision on you. Soooo I figured I could come by and give the MBI some positive PR.
<JasonKorat> ::blinks, then smirks:: Never miss a story, do you?
<Ann_Gora> ::grins:: You know me. Do you mind giving us a tour and introducing us to some agents?
<JasonKorat> ;:chuckles:: Oh, I suppose. Not like I have work or anything to do. ::mockingly::
<Ann_Gora> ::laughs:: If you’re busy we can schedule another time.
<JasonKorat> ::chuckles:: Where do you want to start? ::as he motions::
<Ann_Gora> Up to you. ::exits office and motions for Johnny to start filming:: Just your basics if you’d like. Doesn’t seem like they gave you all enough space for a task force.
<JasonKorat> Eh. We’re managing. ::smiles:: We have everything we need for right now, but if we get the approval, we’ll have a lot more. ::leads them to the working area where the cubicles are::
<LizzieSelkirk> ::passes near to the Bureau as she heads back to the park, intending to just sit and take a break there before resuming her walk. Did manage to find a motel yesterday, but can’t afford to start living there until she has an income, so hid in a parking garage overnight. Glances at the Bureau as it comes in view.:: <Hm . . .> ::remembers what Fletch and the others said about needing a janitor::
<Ann_Gora> ::goes with! followed by Johnny:: What’s the hold up on that, by the way?
<TashaForge> <Joe>::why do I have the feeling I’m being watched? Should I go hide now?::
<JasonKorat> ::isn’t too sure if he should say it in front of the camera, tho’ goodness knows the media’s already gotten a hold of the story. Still won’t say anything without Mark’s approval:: We’ve barely started out on the most recent missions we’ve been on, so I guess this is a trial of sorts.
<Ann_Gora> Oh I see. The Mayor is particular about funding. ::nods::
<Ann_Gora> ::enters the office/cubicle room?::
<JasonKorat> Yeah, pretty much. So this is our working area where each agent has his own cubicle.
<Ann_Gora> <Johnny>::goes into the room. camera moves along the desks… then finds JOE!:: <Ann> I assume the agents are all on patrol?
<TashaForge> <Joe>::nooooooo! frowns noticing camera. turns to look back at paperwork.::
<JasonKorat> Apparently not. This is Joe Forge, one of our newest recruits.
<Ann_Gora> ::smiles at him:: How many agents have you gotten so far besides Agent Forge here?
<TashaForge> <Joe>::thank you, Jason! you WILL be paid back for this! turns and gives them a small smile and nods politely::
<Ann_Gora> ((brb, kiddo’s up. ::not surprised, sleeping pattern messed up X_X::))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((Okay))
<TashaForge> ((okies!))
<JasonKorat> ((Kies!))
<JasonKorat> ::mentally counts:: Aside myself and Lt. Korat, that’d be five for now ((hit me if I miscounted))
<TashaForge> ((::Hits you:: Nine…))
<JasonKorat> ((Who did I miss? ::small voice, counted Josie, Tasha, Joe, Hans, and Fletch))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((I counted six others: who were the other three?))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((And Hertz, if he counts))
<JasonKorat> ((I missed Hertz, didn’t I? -_-))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((Yep.))
<TashaForge> ((Mark, Jason, Trina, Joe, Tasha, Josie, Fletch, Hertz, Leo, Hans….I think thats it. and thats ten, not nine))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((Ah, right.))
<JasonKorat> ((I wasn’t counting mine. XD I forgot Hertz and Leo))
<TashaForge> ((Bad Sagey!))
<JasonKorat> ::okay so meant 10 XD::
<LizzieSelkirk> ::eight, not counting the Korats::
<LizzieSelkirk> ::but muns all know X) ::
<Ann_Gora> ((back sorry guys))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((wb! How’s the little one?))
<TashaForge> ((WB! Tis okies!))
<JasonKorat> ((WB! Sokie!))
<Ann_Gora> ((he’s fine XD just a full diaper and empty tummy -g- he’s rockin’ self back to sleep in there))
<TashaForge> ((whu oh…in other words the house is shaking. XD))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((LOL. Mawww.))
<Ann_Gora> ((::those neighbors better be glad they didn’t knock on the wall again either. swears is going to get ill with them if they do it again when kiddo’s crying. UGH we don’t want him to be up crying at 3 in the morning either, morons! :P /end rant::))
<Ann_Gora> Ten? I assume you are expecting more?
<JasonKorat> ((::Rolls her eyes at moronic neighbors, offers a mallet ><))
<JasonKorat> We sure hope so. ::grins::
<TashaForge> ((don’t make me come back up there and beat that ugly woman’s tail))
<Ann_Gora> ((XD ::gladly takes bwhahahhaaaaaa. bets the Homeowners association is against neighborly beat downs too though ;D::))
<Ann_Gora> ((oh no, it isn’t her. the other ones on the other side))
<TashaForge> ((oh….dang…I’d say something to them))
<JasonKorat> ((::DEAD!!!::))
<Ann_Gora> ::chuckles:: <Johnny>::ZOOMZ in on Joe a moment then out again and around room goes back into hall:: ((<Johnny>::zooms in on Joe’s nosehairs!::))
<JasonKorat> ((::DEAD!:: then CRIES!!!!! at weather report!!:: NO! Not snow winds! NOOOOOOOO!!!)))
<LizzieSelkirk> ::stands a bit down the street from the Bureau for a bit, thinking. Finally decides that it can’t hurt to ask.:: <Perhaps they’ll just let me do odd jobs for a few days until I get work at a diner or the like.> ::goes up to the front door, but then hesitates and stalls. Does not know just how *odd* jobs here can be.::
<LizzieSelkirk> ((Whaaat? Evil! Evil snow!))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((::and dies::))
<TashaForge> ((::snorts:: <Joe> ::not the nose haiiiirs!::))
<TashaForge> <Joe>::yes…you are going to pay, Jason::
<JasonKorat> ::motions:: Let me show you the rest of the building.
<Ann_Gora> ((eeeeew snow is teh YUCK!))
<Ann_Gora> Alright. Lead away, Jase. ::smiles and goes after him::
<JasonKorat> ::so shows them his office and Trina’s and Mark’s, leads them to the gym, yo;:
<TashaForge> <Joe>::YES! go away!::
<Ann_Gora> ::arrives in gym! maw you know you wanna be on TEE VEE!::
<TashaForge> <Joe>::actually..I don’t. That would be my sister::
<JasonKorat> And, this is our training gymnasium. The basics for martial arts, a little basketball, the works.
<Ann_Gora> <Johnny>::goes in some and films around:: <Ann> ::XD hope there’s not a pic of Steele still taped to the punching bag XD:: So you are able to train new recruits who have no previous fighting experience then?
<JasonKorat> ((eeeee… I may have to go soon. Thunderstorm outside…))
<TashaForge> ((yikes…not good!))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((The weather is out to get you, Sage.))
<JasonKorat> Yeah, but thankfully, all of them came with some sort of martial arts knowledge, so it makes it easier.
<JasonKorat> ((::DEAD::)
<TashaForge> ((I think so too. ::hugluvs Sagey::))
<JasonKorat> ((::hugback:: Stupid weather))
<Ann_Gora> ((maww ::hugs:::))
<JasonKorat> ((Okay. Now it’s getting worse. I really have to get off now. ::as lights flicker::))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((::jumps in and hugs too::))
<Ann_Gora> ((lol alright, is okay! Night!))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((Yikes!))
<Ann_Gora> ::finishes up interview and all then leaves?::
<JasonKorat> ((::hugs back:: Due to this cutting short, maybe continue tomorrow or something?))
<JasonKorat> ((At least, the interview?))
<Ann_Gora> ((sure! ))
<TashaForge> ((sounds good to me!))
* Ann_Gora is now known as HansLynx
<JasonKorat> ((Kies! ::hugsyouall!!!:: NIGHT!))
<TashaForge> ((Nights Sagey!))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((Goodnight!))
<HansLynx> ::Ann, Jase ‘n Johnny can be wandering ’round building XD::
* JasonKorat has quit IRC (Quit: )
<HansLynx> ::taps LS on the shoulder from behind her XD::
<LizzieSelkirk> ::eeps and starts! Has been more jumpy after the events of the last few days::
<HansLynx> ::laughs a bit and grins:: Easy there, Miss Merle. You going in or admiring the door?
<HansLynx> ::issa already in uniform::
<LizzieSelkirk> Uh . . . going in, I guess. ::embarrassed at how she reacted::
<HansLynx> ::opens the door for her:: Entre’ vous ((sp?)), won’t you?
<LizzieSelkirk> Thanks. ::slightly nervous voice, but does go in::
<HansLynx> ::goes in after:: Find a job yet or still looking? ::walks with her, pausing only to sign in. heading for breakroom as is a bit early::
<LizzieSelkirk> Still looking. Actually, that’s part of why I’m here today.
<HansLynx> Need another look at the paper do you?
<LizzieSelkirk> ::shakes head:: No, I managed to get my own copy. ::knew what title to get now, and got one at a grocery some streets away::
<HansLynx> Ah, so what brings you here then? ::enters breakroom with her. smiles seeing Tasha:: Good afternoon, Tasha.
<LizzieSelkirk> Hello again, Agent Forge. ::nervous smile::
<TashaForge> ::sippin her coffee. returns the smile:: Hey Hans. And Miss Merle.
<HansLynx> ::goes inside room and pours himself some coffee. looks at LS to await her answer::
<LizzieSelkirk> ::stays by the door, trying to think how to phrase her question:: Uh, look, I wanted to thank you all for helping me the last two days.
<TashaForge> ::smiles at her:: Well..thats what we are here for. I told you that already.
<HansLynx> ::lets them talk. wasn’t really here to help her. ponders donut as he listens though::
<TashaForge> ::eat the DONNUUUUUT! XD::
<LizzieSelkirk> ::nods:: Yeah, but still. ::glances off to the side a moment, then continues:: There was something else I wanted to ask about. I’ve found an indoor place to stay and I have good hopes for finding a job, but it might still be a few days before I find an open place.
<HansLynx> ::XD you tryin’ to subliminal message me about the donuts?::
<TashaForge> ::yes XD:: And? ::meaning please continue::
<LizzieSelkirk> And . . . I remember you were talking yesterday about needing someone to clean up, and I was wondering if I could help out. Just for a little while. As thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
<HansLynx> ::takes up a creamfilled one this time. with napkin. takes a seat nearby and munches and sips coffee::
<TashaForge> ::smiles:: well..I mean I’m not one to make decisions around here. I’d ask the Captain or director. Unfortunately the director is out and the Captain is busy. You’re free to wait though here with us.
<HansLynx> Have a donut. They’re delicious once again.
<LizzieSelkirk> Well . . . if you don’t mind. ::smiles a bit, and takes Hans’s advice. Custard ahoy:: I’ll try not to eat so many of them this time.
<TashaForge> ::laughs:: don’t worry about it. THey will get eaten either way. ::has finished her own donut and just sippin coffee now::
<LizzieSelkirk> ::gets two custard donuts and takes a seat with them::
<HansLynx> This Momma Bates sure makes an irresistable pastry.
<TashaForge> Indeed she does. Still don’t beat my grandmother’s pies but they come in a close second.
<LizzieSelkirk> Is that who makes them? I’ll have to remember that; they’re the best I’ve ever had.
<HansLynx> That’s what it says on the boxes anyway. ::then to Tasha:: Your grandmother bakes quite a pie, does she?
<TashaForge> ::smiles:: She does. Makes ‘em from scratch still. They are wonderful. Especially her apple ones.
* Matt_at_Diner is now known as Enforcer_Band
<LizzieSelkirk> Mmm. ::smiles at the thought:: I wish my mother would bake things like this, but all she makes are weird health foods. ::then immediately wishes she hadn’t mentioned her mother::
<Enforcer_Band> :: not very popular amidst the top 40, but still useful nontheless ::
<LizzieSelkirk> ((lol!))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((Wb, Matt!))
<HansLynx> ((::DIES::))
<HansLynx> ((Hey Matt!))
<TashaForge> ((LOL!))
<HansLynx> ::chuckles:: Weird health foods? Like… tofu dogs or something?
<TashaForge> ::gags some:: Ugh..health food. I swear I’m allergic.
<LizzieSelkirk> Not quite *that* weird, but things with grains still in their shells and spices whose names I can’t pronounce.
<LizzieSelkirk> ::giggles a bit at Tasha’s reaction::
<HansLynx> <scanner>::on in the room perhaps, volume on a low level but easily heard should the Band begin playing a tune of destruction and mayhem somewheres XD::
<HansLynx> Well that doesn’t sound too bad. ::smiles:: I miss my own mother’s homecooking myself, I’d be glad to eat weird health food if she made it.
<Enforcer_Band> :: actually, may have to save this one for Friday as mun notes the time ::
<LizzieSelkirk> Yeah . . . ::trails off a bit::
<HansLynx> ((if she were still here to make it^))
<LizzieSelkirk> ::that be fine::
<HansLynx> ((maw that’s alright!))
<TashaForge> ::Frowns a bit:: Your mother has passed on then, Hans?
<TashaForge> ((tis okay! can create havoc for lots others on Friday))
<HansLynx> ::nods:: Yes, several years ago. ::sips coffee::
<TashaForge> Oh, I’m sory about that.
<LizzieSelkirk> Oh, I’m sorry. ::small voice::
<HansLynx> It’s alright. She’s in a better place now. ::smiles::
<TashaForge> ::small smile:: Yeah. So um…::wants to change subject now:: how you liking the job so far, Hans?
<HansLynx> ((<Flora>::in heaven, where tofu is forbidden! sorry Sagey! XD::))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((LOL))
<TashaForge> ((::DIIES!::))
<HansLynx> Well so far it’s rather dull no offense. ::chuckles::
<HansLynx> Though I do enjoy the company. ::smiles at them::
<LizzieSelkirk> ::listens quietly. Smiles at the last::
<TashaForge> ::laughs a bit:: Its dull here if nothing happens. Company is good though. Otherwise I’d be stuck at home with my brother all day.
<HansLynx> Your brother seems nice enough… awful quiet though. The others around here are very friendly too, relaxed even.
<LizzieSelkirk> <That’s good to hear.>
<Enforcer_Band> ((I’m gonna get some work done on the MBI website I think. Sorry I was very late, had some unexpected items to address))
<TashaForge> ::snickers:: Thats just him. He’s always been quiet. And yeah we are pretty relaxed for the most part.
<LizzieSelkirk> ((That’s fine. And, cool!))
<TashaForge> ((its okay Matt! Oh hey, what is your email, Matt?))
<Enforcer_Band> (( mfiske6@yahoo.com ))
<TashaForge> ((okay thanks!))
<HansLynx> ((yey! it’s alright Matt, we’ll see you this weekend. ^_^))
<HansLynx> Much different atmosphere than with the Enforcers. I like our superior officers better too.
<TashaForge> ::nods:: I’ve never worked under Feral or Steele but I can see where they might be a pain.
<HansLynx> Steele moreso than Feral… but he’s a grouch so… ::laughs::
<TashaForge> ::snickers:: I see.
<HansLynx> ((and I need to get going too myself. ::hugs for y’all::))
<TashaForge> ((Nights Annu! guess we can pause here for the night, guys?))
<HansLynx> ((See y’all Friday. and yeah. I think so. ))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((Sure. Goodnight, all.))
