<Hans_Lynx> 4 RPGON SINKORSWIM AHAHAHA!

<Tasha_Forge> ((::Read that as STINKorswim. lol!::))

<MarkSulfur> ::so dressed in o-fee-shul uniform, goes to de’ City Hall, yes::

<Tasha_Forge> ::sittin at her desk with a cup o’ coffee. head on desk. lol! tired of phone’s ringing and alla that. wants them to shut up!::

<Hans_Lynx> ((LOL!))

<Hans_Lynx> ((Hey I showered before I came to the RPG -g- dunno ’bout you. ;D))

<MarkSulfur> ((::DEAD!::))

<MarkSulfur> ::mun is mildly distracted by vile physics homework she forgot to do, but she’s here::

<Tasha_Forge> ((um…::sniffs. blushes and slinks off to bathe::))

<Hans_Lynx> ::enters the deskroom! in uniform and aside a bandaid or two, is a-okay! maybe has some bruising too but you don’t see that under mah uniform::

<Hans_Lynx> ((LOL!))

<Callie_Briggs> <City Hall Individuals> :: direct Mark to a conference room upstairs ::

<Tasha_Forge> ::perks ear that way but doesn’t raise up head. took tylenol a bit ago. bruised up and scratched up herself but otherwise is okay::

<MarkSulfur> ::is directed and goes, yes. Takes in a deep breath, straightens himself and knocks::

<Hans_Lynx> Ah, now this is a sight for sore eyes. ::grins as he walks over to Tasha’s desk::

<Tasha_Forge> Sore eyes my tail…everything on me is sore. ::raises up smirking at him::

<Hans_Lynx> ::goes around her desk, and since no one else is in there, leans down to hug her:: I hear that. ::laughs a little::

<Callie_Briggs> <Random Intern> :: opens the door :: Right this way, Mr. Sulfur :: gestures to an empty conference room :: <Conference Table> :: has several chairs, a carafe of coffee, small packets of sweetener, the typical office setup ::

<Tasha_Forge> ::hugs him back:: You okay? I was worried about you.

<MarkSulfur> ::nods:: Thank you. ::heads on inside. Doesn’t touch the coffee. Is too jittery deep down to even consume more caffeine::

<Callie_Briggs> <Intern> :: exits the room ::

<MarkSulfur> ::looks around, not even bothering to sit down::

<Hans_Lynx> Yeah… a few bumps here and there but okay. ::lets her go and stands fully:: Sorry for not contacting you or anyone else sooner but things were a mess and our power was out for several blocks around a couple of days. Plus one of thsoe robots blew up my phone. While it was in my CAR. ::frowns now at that::

<Hans_Lynx> ((<Manx>::it is his special blend of coffee anyway. one part alcohol, one part more alcohol. why you think he talks so funnaaay?::))

<MarkSulfur> ((::SOOODEAD::))

<Tasha_Forge> ::frowns:: no way…that was a nice car! Just glad you weren’t in it. ::smiles softly:: your dad and all alright/

<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIIIIIES!::))

<Hans_Lynx> ::laughs:: So was I. ::nods:: Yes, he’s fine. Glad I was there with him when it all went down though.

<Tasha_Forge> He have a hard time getting out or something? ::maww worried about his dad actually::

<Callie_Briggs> <Several individuals> :: all offical looking, abruptly make their way into the conference room, taking seats, with paperwork, briefcases, etc. in hand :: <Callie> :: enters in after them ::

<MarkSulfur> ::nearly leaps to the ceiling:: <Oh good grief.> ::sucks in another breath and lets it out slowly, tail twitching lightly::

<Hans_Lynx> <More like he had a hard time of knowing when to retreat and trying to go for more weaponry down below the bank…> ::pulls up a seat from his own desk::Not really just… glad I was there. It was pretty chaotic for awhile there.

<Tasha_Forge> That it was. GLad you guys are safe though. It got wild around here.

<Callie_Briggs> Director Sulfur, if you’ll take a seat we can get this meeting under way. :: seems to be in a hurry ::

<MarkSulfur> ::nods:: Yes, Ma’am. ::sits! XD::

<Hans_Lynx> ((brb!))

<Tasha_Forge> ((okies!))

<Callie_Briggs> :: takes a seat herself :: Associated members of the city council and offices of city mangement, thank you for coming on such short notice. In light of the recent events that have occured in Megakat City, it’s only appropriate that we respond in a manner accordingly <Committee Members> :: mumbling of aggreement ::

<MarkSulfur> ::keeps sitting up straight, listening. Keeps telling himself that he should have brought someone else with him for moral support::

<Callie_Briggs> Commander Feral could not be with us for this meeting as he’s currently occupied with invasion recovery and search and rescue in the field. :: turns attention to Sulfur :: So, Director Sulfur, your agency’s invovlement in recent events has been quite substantial.

<MarkSulfur> ::clears his throat:: Yes, Ma’am. And, I am quite proud of the way my agents handled the situation. ::isn’t going to sugar coat things or be entirely formal. That’s not his style. If he’s proud of someone, he’ll out right say so. Doesn’t care all of a sudden if he’s in a room full of executives XD::

<Hans_Lynx> ((hoohah!))

<Callie_Briggs> <Committee members> :: taking notes as Sulfur speaks ::

<Tasha_Forge> ((WB!))

<Hans_Lynx> ((LOL Josie could’ve gone with Mark if you wants? XD))

<Hans_Lynx> So I’ve heard. ::smiles:: I’m glad you’re safe though. I was going a bit nuts wondering what you were doing, where you were.

<MarkSulfur> ((Shua! Go for it! ;D))

<MarkSulfur> (<Committe Members> ::drawing smiley and frowney faces::))

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::hoohah! then came in when he did and if there was room, sat at the table next to Mark. if not, took a chair off to the side of the room there::

<Hans_Lynx> ((::dies!::))

<MarkSulfur> ::okay. Now is mentally thanking Josie for being there with him. Arr!::

<Tasha_Forge> well..I was driving my car through a barrage of robots and facing Dark Kat himself in his lair with one scary looking cyberkat..thingy…like we saw at the club that night and came here to kill Jason.

<Hans_Lynx> ::arrrrr XD sitting straight she is, in more formal MBI attire… well has on a skirt and heels instead of her boots ‘n pants::

<Hans_Lynx> <JOSIE>

<Hans_Lynx> ((::Falls over;: Don’t even go there. <Hans> MUN!!!))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::SOOOOOOOODEAD!:: I want to say something…words are failing me at this moment….::dies again!::))

<Hans_Lynx> ::is a manly man! not a cross dresser -g-:: Sounds like I missed out on some great action. ::grins::

<MarkSulfur> ((::SOOOOOOOOOOOOODEAD!!!!:: So is that equivalent to Jake in a 20′s dress? XD))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::Burymenow!:: FLapper Jake!!!!))

<Hans_Lynx> ((YES now HUSH! ::bonks Sagey XD::))

<MarkSulfur> ((::DYING!!!! XDXD!!!!))

<Callie_Briggs> Are there any special items that you would like to comment on relating to your various encounters with Dark Kat, the conspiracy, or the assault that your agency lead in the desert?

<Tasha_Forge> heh..yeah..the car is gonna have to pay a visit to my shop guys back home too. its got lots of dents and all in it

<Callie_Briggs> <Committee Member > Your comments will be used in future decision making processes relating to city policy.

<Hans_Lynx> Joe driving you into work then for now?

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::if they brought any of that evidence, she’ll present it to them silently like the Meg grunt she is. ;D::

<Tasha_Forge> well its still drivable for now. joe’s been off work at the hospital. I guess you’ve not heard. Agent Korat took a bullet to the leg and has been there the last couple of days recovering. He’s been with her since Jason’s been busy with the press and all.

<Hans_Lynx> ::gasps at that:: No I didn’t hear that. She’s okay though, right?

<MarkSulfur> The fact that the NSA, under the command of Jack Spinner, infiltrated our agency without prior consent and walked away with valuable information. Also, the lack of budget showed that we were unprepared for much of the invasion in regards to firepower and protective body armor. To put it mildly, my agents put their lives on the line without any regard to stay alive, but did so trying to protect this city. ::mun thinks that makes sense.

<Tasha_Forge> She’s fine. Just went a while without a doctor looking at it so they are watching her a day or so.

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::yes that makes since, hippyman. -g-::

<Hans_Lynx> ((sense^))

<Hans_Lynx> That’s good. Anyone else get wounded severely?

<MarkSulfur> ::I’ll have you know my hair is well groomed and tightly tied back and my face shows no fuzz, thank you. XD::

<Tasha_Forge> not that I’m aware of. mostly just bruises and scratches.

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::TODAY maybe… ;)::

<Hans_Lynx> What are the odds huh?

<Tasha_Forge> :Smirks:: yeah..we were lucky I suppose.

<MarkSulfur> ::Oh, fine. I’ll try to get up an hour early. XD::

<Hans_Lynx> Or maybe there’s more skill in our rag tag bunch of rejects that’s finally getting some recognition?

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::it takes you an hour to do your hair? XD chop it off! -g-::

<MarkSulfur> ::does not! XD::

<Tasha_Forge> ::laughs:: maybe. I’m just glad its over and I’ll be even more glad when the press stops calling.

<Callie_Briggs> The NSA is currently under an internal review. They’ve sent their apologies, but personally I feel that’s somewhat inadaquate. :: sets pen down :: It is my opinion that there is little to stand in the way of future incidents where outside forces, legimiate or illigitimate, could so easily take advantage of this city in such a manner. :: looks to Sulfur :: With the exception of you.

<MarkSulfur> ::blinks, confused look:: I’m afraid you lost me, Ma’am.

<Hans_Lynx> The press huh? Anyone come talk to you yet?

<Callie_Briggs> The Enforcers are so heavily involved with general policing and the defense of this city on a large scale that detective work and proactive investigation often get set aside. I’d like to think of the MBI as the agency this city can rely on for more proactive action, to be the ones who can root out the corruption and identify the threats before they become a 200 foot gorilla, so to speak.

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::ears perked, watching the Deputy Mayor as she speaks::

<Tasha_Forge> not yet thankfully. They’ve left me alone.

<Hans_Lynx> ::snickers:: oh but it could be your big break into Hollywood. ::nudges her, teasing::

<MarkSulfur> ::nods:: I understand, and with the proper training, it can be done.

<Callie_Briggs> Exposing Jack Spinner, tracking down the illusive hooded thief, locating the secret control center of Dark Kat’s :: looks at paperwork :: And following leads on several wanted felons who’ve avoided capture for long periods of time. These are very good results for a budget of… :: raises an eyebrow, deliberately doesnt finish the sentence ::

<Tasha_Forge> ::laughs:: No thanks. I don’t want any breaks into Hollywood.

<Callie_Briggs> It makes me wonder what you can do with more.

<Tasha_Forge> ((<Callie>…….$20? Thats it? <Mark> And the sofa cost us $10 of that!!))

<Hans_Lynx> ((::DIIIES::))

<Hans_Lynx> Don’t want to be a stunt driver at least?

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::looks happy at that! yes give us money!::

<MarkSulfur> ::exchanges a calm look with Josie, then turns back to Callie:: All we ask for is enough to cover our agents’ salaries and the proper equipment as well as protection.

<Tasha_Forge> No thanks…I prefer the real thing. :;smirks:: besides..stunt drivers are nuts. I’d never be able to crash a beautiful car on purpose

<Callie_Briggs> :: looks to individual to her left :: <Committee Member> I’m the city treasurer. After reviewing several factors, a grant of 5 million dollars will be supplied to the MBI for salaries, equipment, renovation, upgrades and assorted miscelanious costs.

<MarkSulfur> ::okay. NOW he’s trying not to leap out of his chair and hug the life outta this guy::

<MarkSulfur> ::keeps a calm look, tho’. No show of emotion. xD::

<Callie_Briggs> :: looks at her paperwork :: Am I to understand that you currently have a pilot assigned to your agency?

<Hans_Lynx> ::laughs some:: Maw… oh well. No high pay and action for you.

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::jaw drops, looks over at Mark shocked! wondering if she heard right::

<MarkSulfur> Yes. That would be Agent Hans Lynx.

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::about the money that is::

<Tasha_Forge> Well..I get action. Money I don’t. ::grins::

<Hans_Lynx> Do all the donuts you could want cover that?

<Tasha_Forge> ::snickers:: I gotta lay off the donute else I can’t fit into my racing uniform anymore.

<Callie_Briggs> :: looks to individual at her right :: <Committee Member> I’m the resource manager for the city. After some exchages with Enforcer headquarters and local supply, we’ve managed to allocate one helicopter for the MBI’s sole use. Helicopter expenses will be kept seperate from the grant you’ve received from the treasury.

<Tasha_Forge> ((<Mark>::hasn’t said anything this whole time. passes out finally from not breathing either::))

<MarkSulfur> ::eyes wide a tad::

<Hans_Lynx> ((::dead!::))

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::looks on incrediously. wonders where they can even park a helicopter::

<MarkSulfur> ((::DEAD::))

<Hans_Lynx> Oh c’mon now. You’re in perfect shape.

<Callie_Briggs> Now, with these new resources will come higher expectations. This committee well evaluate your progress in six months, Director Sulfur. :: stands up :: I trust you won’t dissapoint.

<Tasha_Forge> Lets not go down that path, Hans. ::smirks:: You should know better than to talk about a ladie’s weight.

<Tasha_Forge> ((hey that Tygris guy is online. Do we want to trial tomorrow then?))

<Hans_Lynx> ((I’m up for it.))

<MarkSulfur> ::finds his voice as he stands up as well:: No, Ma’am. And, thank you, Ma’am.

<MarkSulfur> ((Shua!))

<Tasha_Forge> (9okay!))

<Hans_Lynx> Hmm? Oh yes… I forget. ::closes eyes and points a finger up in the air some:: Never ask a she-kat’s weight or age, and never tell her that dress does indeed make her bottom look big. ::nods nods::

<Tasha_Forge> :: busts up laughing. pats his shoulder some:: good job. now remember that.

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::stands as well, smiling happy to hear they are getting this money ‘n all::

<Hans_Lynx> ::looks at her again:: Yes ma’am. Woof! ::smirks::

<Tasha_Forge> ::snickers:: good boy. ::pats his head:: Your dad taught you well.

<Hans_Lynx> ::laughs:: Dad nothing, that’s from my own experience.

<Tasha_Forge> Ahhh well then, at least you learn. ::grins. drinks the last of her coffee and gets up:: Wanna go get more coffee with me? I’m fresh out and I’ve not slept enough lately to stop drinking it yet.

<Callie_Briggs> :: exits ::

<Callie_Briggs> <Others> :: also leave ::

<Hans_Lynx> ::smiles:: Sure. ::stands and heads after her to the breakroom::

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::looks to Mark:: Am I dreaming sir or are they seriously going to give the MBI that much in funding?

<MarkSulfur> ::sits down again, staring bug eyed at the now empty table::

<Tasha_Forge> ::goes with! :: So how’d your house and all fair? You guys make it out without any damage besides the vehicles?

<Hans_Lynx> The exterior of many buildings with some interior took damage… I think I’m going to move back in with my dad though as our building’s going to be under a lot of repair at the lower levels.

<Tasha_Forge> awww permanent or just temp?

<Hans_Lynx> Not sure.

<Hans_Lynx> ::goes and gets himself some coffee after she does::

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> Sir? You alright?

<MarkSulfur> ::lets out a deep breath:: Yeah, you heard right. And, I’m fine. ::gives her a pleasant smile::

<Tasha_Forge> ::pours her cup. goes and sits down to drink it:: Well whatever you decide let me know so I know where to come see you at. :smiles::

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::smiles now too:: Well then, if we don’t need to stay here any further, lets go tell the others the good news, sir.

<Hans_Lynx> ::adds some sugar to his, then sits with her and leans back a bit in his chair:: You’ll be the first with my new address and number, Tasha. ::grins::

<MarkSulfur> :nods: Yeah. ::stands up::

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::turns and heads towards the door:: I’m sure the Captain will want to hear this too.

<Tasha_Forge> ::grins:: good. I look forward to it. Oh and you’ll be happy to know that as soon as all this dies down Joe is supposed to bust Derringer so that’ll be over with too.

<MarkSulfur> I’ll be sure to tell him… as soon as he’s done with the media.

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::chuckles, opens door and exits, walking alongside him:: They still have him giving interviews right and left, sir? ((<Ann>::no, just kidnapped him and keeping him all to herself for Katseye exclusives. HAH! Pulitzer will be mine!::))

<Hans_Lynx> ::blinks:: But what about the higher ups?

<MarkSulfur> ((:DEAD!!:: <Jason> ::and, he ain’t complaining. XD::))

<MarkSulfur> Yeah. Well, better him than me. I can’t keep a straight face in front of the camera. ::smirks::

<Tasha_Forge> After Derringer wanting Joe to start bringing ‘nip home to store, I think Sulfer was ready for Joe to get out of it. Its been a big mess the entire time though with Joe’s connection and all. I think thats part of the problem is they just want him out before something happens

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::quirks brow a moment. gets in elevator ‘n all that jazz:: What do you mean, sir?

<Hans_Lynx> ::grins a bit:: That’d be funny if ol’ Derringer got taken out by one of those bots.

<MarkSulfur> I get nervous. Jason’s had more experience.

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> There’s no need to get nervous. It is just talking into a camera after all. ::exits elevator when they arrive. makes way to mark’s car as mun assumes that is what they drove::

<Tasha_Forge> ::laughs:: Yeah it would. Save us a lot of trouble.

<MarkSulfur> ::gets in and drives them off:: Yes, but there’s also the fact that an entire city is watching you.

<Hans_Lynx> ::sips some coffee:: Be nice if those bots took out any of the criminals in that book of McGrath’s.

<Tasha_Forge> indeed..though then we wouldn’t be getting credit for it. ::grins::

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> True, if you think about it that way. That’s the trick though. ::pauses for a bit:: With this money coming in, are you going to request the Captain and Agent Korat give up their other… career, sir?

<Hans_Lynx> Yeah, ol’ Dark Fat would. So tell me, is he as fat as he looks on TV?

<Tasha_Forge> ::snickers:: fatter…I kept expecting to see a personal chef there or something. He’s uglier too.

* Callie_Briggs is now known as Matt_brb

<MarkSulfur> Their other career?

<Hans_Lynx> ::busts up:: Oh man, you going to have nightmares?

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::nods:: Yes sir. Their… singing career, in that band of theirs.

* Ash_the_Woof has joined #mbi_sk

<Tasha_Forge> Already have. ::smirks:: That guy makes any tom look good.

<Tasha_Forge> ((hey Ash!))

<MarkSulfur> ((Heys!))

<Hans_Lynx> ((Hey Ash!))

* Hans_Lynx sets mode: +o Ash_the_Woof

<Ash_the_Woof> ((Hey guys))

<MarkSulfur> Oh, that. ::shrugs as he continues driving, heading towards a Starbucks:: Its’ up to Jason, really. The only reason they got back was to bring money in for the Bureau, but he also considers it stress relief. Maybe he’ll do it parttime. What I do know is that they’re going to focus on being local.

<Hans_Lynx> ::snickers:: Well if you feel scared, give me a call then. There’s no need to fear the big bad grape koolaid tom.

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> That is good then, sir. If they’d been gone off to Japan or Afurca during this past week, we may have not been as successful without Captain Korat’s leadership.

<Ash_the_Woof> ((<Kool-Aid Tom> ::busts in through the wall:: Did somebody say my name? <Hans> :: stares and shaeks head:: I’ve got to lay down the coffee more… ))

<MarkSulfur> ((::DEAD:))

<Tasha_Forge> ::busts up laughing:: Even the grape koolaid tom looks better than that.

<Tasha_Forge> ((lol!))

<Hans_Lynx> ((::dies!::))

<Ash_the_Woof> ((BRB))

<MarkSulfur> ::chuckles:: I’ll be sure to tell him. ::as he pulls up to a drive through Starbucks:: Coffee?

* Ash_the_Woof has quit IRC (Quit: CGI:IRC (EOF))

<Hans_Lynx> ::grins:: What about that… other thing that was helping him? That energy being?

<Tasha_Forge> That thing was just scary…I think it was one of those..cyberdemon..thingys..whatever they are.

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::shakes head:: No thank you sir. I plan on working out in the gym once we return.

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> So it will be cold before I can finish.

<Hans_Lynx> Oh yeah… seems that a few of them are good guys though, right?

<MarkSulfur> ::nods:; Alright. ::orders a mocha for himself, then continues back to the Bureau:: By the way, thanks for being there with me, Lyons. it was a big help.

* Ash_the_Woof has joined #mbi_sk

<Tasha_Forge> yeah. there was one helping us. She was really sweet looking but that other one was kinda sour looking and all around mean.

<Tasha_Forge> ((WB!))

<Hans_Lynx> ((WB!))

<MarkSulfur> ((WB!))

<Ash_the_Woof> ((Thanks))

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::nods:: Sir, yes sir. ::smiles:: I’m glad you chose me to come with you for such an important meeting.

<Hans_Lynx> Well it is gone now for good I hope.

<Tasha_Forge> ((<mark> well who else was there that could scare people with that face? <Josie>…….what?! <Mark> hmm? wha? Did I say that out loud? <Josie> >.< <Mark> yeah that’d be the face I was talking about…..D’OH!!! I said it out loud again!! <Josie> >( <Mark> I’ll hush now……))

<Ash_the_Woof> ((::DEAD::))

<Tasha_Forge> I hope so too. I think it is as that McGrath fellow said that hting she stabbed him with would take him from existance.

<Hans_Lynx> ((::diiies!!::)0

<Hans_Lynx> Oh yeah? Speaking of, I got word he’s arrested and at Enforcer HQ?

<MarkSulfur> ::smiles back:: I’m glad I did. ::looks back to the road:: You have a lot of potential, Lyons. Don’t ever forget that.

<Tasha_Forge> Yep. I don’t understand it. he helped us save everyone and they lock him up. All that about him stealing and vigilante stuff came back and got him.

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::beams at that, fighting back a blush. sits up straight:: Thank you sir.

<MarkSulfur> You’re most welcome. ::as he parks in the parking lot:: Now I get to figure out how I’m gonna park a helicopter in this place.

<Ash_the_Woof> ((<Hans> Nah, they didn’t lock him up for that. He did something much worse. <Tasha> Which is? <Hans> He TPed the donut shop the Enforcers go to <Tasha> *gasps* The blasphemy! ))

<MarkSulfur> ((::SOOOOODEAD::))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIIIIIIIES!::))

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::gets out of his car:: Right sir.

<Hans_Lynx> Oh yey. ::rolls eyes:: That’s how it goes I guess.

<Hans_Lynx> ((::diies!!::))

<MarkSulfur> ::gets out as well, heads on upstairs, hoi!::

<Tasha_Forge> I guess so. S’long as its all over with. I’m ready for about a week nap.

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>::hoi! goes to she-kats locker room to change into work out clothes and then goes to the gym::

* MarkSulfur sets mode: +o Ash_the_Woof

<Hans_Lynx> Maybe you should take a vacation? Or is everyone already doing that?

<Tasha_Forge> I think everyone is doing that. More like we are about to lock the doors to the building and take a nap in here.

<MarkSulfur> ::heads to his office, asking Hans on the way: Hey, Lynx. How good are you at flying choppers?

<Ash_the_Woof> ((<Tasha> ::gestures towards the empty room:: Are you kidding? We’re the only ones left here! <Hans> Oh really? ::gets a naughty look in his eyes:: You thinking what I’m thinking? <Tasha> ::grins naughtily as well:: Yeah, though should we? <Hans> ::shakes head:: Nah, no one will know we ate all the donuts in the fridge so let’s go! ))

<MarkSulfur> ((::dies!::))

<Hans_Lynx> ::about to respond to Tasha, turns and looks at Mark at his sudden question.:: Good I suppose. Easier to control than jets. Why?

<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIIES!::))

<Hans_Lynx> ((::DIIES!!::))

<MarkSulfur> Good to hear. Now, I gotta figure out where I’m gonna park that thing. Carry on! ::walks on XD::

<Tasha_Forge> ::blinks. looks towards Mark at that. ugh! hopes he doesn’t get no ideas about her flying in one::

<Ash_the_Woof> ::goes to where Tasha and Hans are. Breakroom, right? ::

<Tasha_Forge> yep!

<Tasha_Forge> ((er.. that should be in (()) ))

<Tasha_Forge> ((mun has lost it tonight. lol!))

<Hans_Lynx> ::curious:: What…? ::stands up and rushes to the door:: Park what thing, sir?

<Ash_the_Woof> ((I thought we all lost it a long time ago? XD ))

<Tasha_Forge> ((lol! I never had it. XD))

<Tasha_Forge> ::gets up and follows, peeking around his shoulder;:

<MarkSulfur> ::as he sits in his office;: The helicopter City Hall’s gonna give us. It’ll be mentioned in the meeting.

<Ash_the_Woof> ((lol))

<Ash_the_Woof> :: sits in breakroom by himself, eating donuts and coffee::

<Hans_Lynx> Whoah! We’re getting a chopper?

<Tasha_Forge> ::blinkies!:: A chopper?! Why aer they giving us a chopper?!

<MarkSulfur> I’ll mention it in the meeting. Int he meantime, I get to keep you all in suspense. ::smirks::

<Ash_the_Woof> ((<Hans> C’mon, I need chopper backup!! <Others> :: stare:: <Hans> Sorry, couldn’t resist ::looks sheepish:: ))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::diiiies!:: <hans>::snickering as he stole Feral’s baton in the chaos::))

<Hans_Lynx> That’s harsh, sir. ::smirks::

<Hans_Lynx> ((::dies!::))

<Tasha_Forge> awww come on! tell us!

<MarkSulfur> Good to hear. That means it’s working.

<Hans_Lynx> When’s this meeting then?

<MarkSulfur> It’ll be once everybody is present and accounted for. Korat should be out of the hospital in a couple days.

<Tasha_Forge> Aww we gotta way a couple of days?

<Hans_Lynx> If I hear a chopper landing, I’m taking a peek.

<Tasha_Forge> ::snickers::

<MarkSulfur> Yes, and go for it. ::smirks::

<Tasha_Forge> S’long as I don’t have to ride in it I’m okay.

<Hans_Lynx> Oh c’mon… you gotta go up in one of them.

<Hans_Lynx> It’s perfectly safe.

<MarkSulfur> ::chuckles at them, goes to call Jason to keep him up to date that it all went well::

<Tasha_Forge> Ummm..no. ::smirks:: I’m perfectly safe with my feet on the ground thank you.

<Hans_Lynx> So you don’t trust my flying skills?

<Tasha_Forge> If a kat was meant to fly it’d have wings. ::grins::

<Hans_Lynx> And if a kat was meant to race at high speeds, it’d have wheels too. ::smirks, folds his arms, leaning against doorframe::

<MarkSulfur> :rolls his eyes at both of them::

* MarkSulfur is now known as JasonKorat

<Tasha_Forge> True..you got me. I just don’t like heights of any kind. Its not your flying or anyone elses. I just don’t want to fly.

<Hans_Lynx> Well you’re missing out then, that’s all I’ve got to say.

<Ash_the_Woof> ((<Jason> It’s good to hear that everyone’s well but… get me outta here!!! ::struggles against his bed restraints <Helga> :: in a thick accent:: Now sir, it’s-a time for your-a sponge bath <Jason> Nooooo!!! ))

<Hans_Lynx> ((::dies!:: That’d be poor Trina to endure that.))

<JasonKorat> ((::CHOKES!!::))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIIIES!::))

<Tasha_Forge> I don’t think I am. ::grins::

<Ash_the_Woof> ((Ah! Well Jason’s a better target anyways ;P ))

<Hans_Lynx> You are so.

<JasonKorat> ((Fiend))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::snorts::))

<Tasha_Forge> Are not.

<Hans_Lynx> Are so.

<Tasha_Forge> Are not. ::grinning::

<Ash_the_Woof> ((<Ash> ::is secretly filming this flirt fest:: XD ))

<Tasha_Forge> ((scary….))

<Ash_the_Woof> ::smiles and tries to hide a snicker through a cough::

<JasonKorat> ((<Jason> ::leather clad and tied up next to karaoke machine, is singing through his teeth and snarling:: “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine……” <Jenna> ::squeal!!! <3::))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::SOOOOOODEAD!::))

<Hans_Lynx> ((::DIES!::))

<Hans_Lynx> Are. So. Times infinity.

<Ash_the_Woof> ((DEAD))

<Hans_Lynx> ((::dies:: <Jenna> Oh poo! You ruined those leather pants with your stupid exploding! ::sighs:: Hmm… wonder what Ryder’s doing right now… >_> ))

<JasonKorat> ::gets into his car, leans against the steering wheel, counting off any more interviews he needs to do::

<Tasha_Forge> ((::SOOOOOOODEAD!::))

<Hans_Lynx> ((<Jase>::pulls off his shoes to help in his counting::))

<JasonKorat> ((::dies!::))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::snorts:: <Jason> wait…does the pinky toe count as one or just a half?))

<Hans_Lynx> Are so times infinity times infinity to the infinate power of infinity.

<Tasha_Forge> ….::Razz!!!::

<Hans_Lynx> ::laughs:: Hah! ::grins and gets his cup of coffee::

<recording> <MBI Phone> :: rings ::

* recording is now known as MBI_Phone

<JasonKorat> <Mark> :picks up:: Megakat Bureau, this is Director Sulfur.

<Tasha_Forge> You have not won you know!

<MBI_Phone> “This is the city resources manager. Your aircraft is ready to be picked up at the Megakat City Salvage Yard.”

<Hans_Lynx> I know. But one way or another, you’re going to get into a helicopter.

<Ash_the_Woof> :: grins and sips his coffee quietly, thinking it’s quite rude to step in their conversation::

<Tasha_Forge> ((<Helicopter>::comes in twenty boxes with a note attached.:: “Some assembly required”))

<Hans_Lynx> ((::DIIIIES::))

<JasonKorat> <Mark> I’ll send someone over. Thank you.

<Tasha_Forge> I am not! I hate heights and I don’t plan on going up high in something that could fall out of the sky!

<MBI_Phone> :: hangs up ::

<Hans_Lynx> ::looks at her again after sipping some coffee:: Even if lives depend on your doing so?

<JasonKorat> <Mark> Hey, Lynx! ;:as he peeks out his door::

<Tasha_Forge> I can save lives in my car. ::perks an ear towards Mark::

<Hans_Lynx> ::goes to hall again:: Sir?

<Ash_the_Woof> ::looks towards Mark::

<JasonKorat> <Mark> You want the chopper, don’t you?

<Hans_Lynx> ::grins hopeful:: Yes sir.

<JasonKorat> <Mark> Then I trust you can go pick it up at MKC Salvage Yard. ::smirks::

<Tasha_Forge> ((<Mark> You can take the van..you’ll need it. <hans>…..thats never a good sign))

<Hans_Lynx> And pray tell where will I park it?

<Hans_Lynx> ((LOL!))

<Hans_Lynx> ::er land it, not park it lol::

<JasonKorat> <Mark> Try the roof. I”m sure it’s sturdy enough.

<Hans_Lynx> Sure thing, sir. ::grins:: C’mon. You can drive me there, Tasha.

<Tasha_Forge> ((<Mark> ::later…:: I THOUGHT it was sturdy enough. ::looking at the helicopter sitting in the breakroom now:: <Hans> well..on the good side of things at least we have a place to park it AND its easilly accesible. <Mark>…….true))

<JasonKorat> ((::DEAD::))

<Ash_the_Woof> ((::DEAD::))

<Tasha_Forge> Alright. :;grins. goes with! pulls out her keys and heads out to the car:: Though I’m not flying in it.

<Hans_Lynx> ((LOL!!))

<Hans_Lynx> ::laughs:: I’m not going to ask you… this time. I just need a ride there. ::goes to her car. gets in when she unlocks it:: You do need to get over this fear though, Tasha.

<Tasha_Forge> ::gets in once its unlocked. starts it up.:: Why? I drive, you fly. It all works out. ;:grins. heads for the salvage yard::

<JasonKorat> Okay. That’s enough for me. ::turns on car:: I’m going home to dinner and bed.

<Hans_Lynx> But there may be a time where you’ll need to be flown somewhere.

<Tasha_Forge> And that time will be after I wreck and am unconcious on the way to a hospital. :smirks::

* MBI_Phone is now known as Jake_Clawson

<Hans_Lynx> ((<Jenna>::posing as a Garfield plushie stuck to the inside window of Jase’s car in the back. figured if she painted black stripes on, he wouldn’t notice her size nor dress::))

<Jake_Clawson> ((any takers?))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))

<Hans_Lynx> ((Sagerz wanna take teh Chance? Or is Sagerz going out for then ight?))

<JasonKorat> ((:D:EAD!::))

<JasonKorat> ((Actually, Sage has to head out for the night. She’s in need of bed and has to be in class tomorrow. X-x))

<Ash_the_Woof> ((Nights))

<Tasha_Forge> I’m not scared! Just…okay yeah I’m scared. ::smirks::

* JasonKorat has quit IRC (Quit: )

<Ash_the_Woof> ((I could take Chance if you like…just hope I’m mature enough to play him))

<Hans_Lynx> ((LOL go for it, Ash. ))

<Tasha_Forge> ((enver know till you try! ^_^))

<Hans_Lynx> ::smirks too:: Well at least you admit it.

* Ash_the_Woof is now known as Chance_Furlong

<Tasha_Forge> ::snickers. pulls in at the salvage yard and stops outside the garage. gets out, looking around::

<Jake_Clawson> :: working on the latest car in need of repair, dressed in coveralls. Pokes head out from under the hood upong the megs arrival ::

<Chance_Furlong> ::is helping Jake in the repairs and looks at the Megs:: You guys here ta pick up the chopper?

<Hans_Lynx> ::gets out as well, shuts door, tries to look behind the building to see where it is lol. smiles at Chance and Jake:: That we are.

<Jake_Clawson> :: wiping hands off with a rag, approaches them too :: It’s quite a piece of work.

<Tasha_Forge> How bad is it? ::walking over with Hans::

<Jake_Clawson> :: walks over to a section of the salvage yard, and pulls back a tarp :: Well, I suppose it could be worse…

<Hans_Lynx> ::walking behind Jake he is with the other two. curiously looks at the chopper::

<Jake_Clawson> <Chopper> :: is a standard issue Enforcer chopper, full of bullet holes, a ruined paint job, fire damage, and several dents and dings ::

<Tasha_Forge> ::walks with. can’t help but let out a snort then covers her mouth to stop the full out laugh::

<Hans_Lynx> … they’ve GOT to be kidding? I thought this was to be brand new in perfect working condition! ::frowns as he goes over to inspect it closer::

<Chance_Furlong> :: shakes head at the chopper:: Well, they lied. Simple as that

<Jake_Clawson> Chance and I managed to get it running again… :: slides open the side door :: But it won’t make for a comfy ride… <Interior> :: looks about the same :: <Seats> :: opolstery has several springs sticking out ::

<Hans_Lynx> … no chance you two have an extra seat you could put in this? ::inwardly groans at the sight::

<Jake_Clawson> If it makes you feel any better, think of it as… a fixer-upper? :: shrugs ::

<Tasha_Forge> ::can’t hold it. busts up laughing now. walks over to Hans and pats his b ack:: whats that about it being perfectly safe?

<Chance_Furlong> Hey! It’s perfectly safe here! Jake and I made sure it won’t fall apart….much ::grins::

<Hans_Lynx> ::mrrr gives all three of them a look of annoyance lol. turns back to the chopper. puts a finger in one of the bullet holes:: We don’t ahve the time nor the tools to fix this up.

<Jake_Clawson> I mean, I’ve heard of kats who’ve managed to fix up aircraft in far worse condition in their spare time. I’m sure that it’ll make a nice weekend hobby…or something.

<Chance_Furlong> ::looks at Jake and gives a meaningful grin:: Oh yes, like we did before ::whispers::

<Hans_Lynx> Hobby my tail end… ::grumbles:: Can’t you two fix it up more? You are mechanics after all.

<Tasha_Forge> ::cans it at the look. still holding back a fit of snickering. looking it over:: Man..it’d be good for like…scrap metal or something..maybe.

<Jake_Clawson> We’d like to help, but we’ve got a work order about this big :: holds hands far apart ::

<Hans_Lynx> ::huffs. looks at Tasha:: We take it back to HQ to show Sulfur?

<Chance_Furlong> That, and we don’t have a lotta material to rebuild this thing

<Jake_Clawson> But trust me, with a little bit of elbow-grease you guys can have it top of the line in no time. I heard about the budget. Very nice.

<Tasha_Forge> I guess so… ::looks at Jake:: Budget? You mean the increase they are giving? ::no idea how much it was. just that they were getting one::

<Hans_Lynx> Budget?

<Hans_Lynx> ::gets up on the side to try and push in the springs to the pilot seat XD while they talk::

<Chance_Furlong> I’d thought you guys knew how much they’re giving?

<Tasha_Forge> Not a clue. Just that we were getting one.

<Jake_Clawson> Miss Briggs told us about it. We service her sedan rather frequently.

<Hans_Lynx> Did she happen to say how much “nice” is?

<Jake_Clawson> I wish someone would give us 5 million dollars, eh Chance?

<Tasha_Forge> ::blinkies:: Do…what?

<Hans_Lynx> <spring>::is let go, flings out of the seat and out on the ground of the chopper:: Five MILLION dollars?!

<Hans_Lynx> ((Hans of course said that XD not the spring -g-))

<Tasha_Forge> ((LOL! dang! even the spring was suprised!))

<Chance_Furlong> ::grins:: Yeah, imagine all the things we could buy with it

<Hans_Lynx> ::narrows eyes suspiciously:: You sure she knew what she was talking about? I mean, we’re told we’re to get a chopper, and look at what condition it’s in.

<Jake_Clawson> With the recent robot invasion you’re lucky to get any aircraft at all, let alone one that flies.

<Hans_Lynx> Where are they coming up with the money? Mayor uppin’ taxes again?

<Tasha_Forge> Well..look at the bright side, Hans. At least now we’ll have the money to fix it up.

<Chance_Furlong> Hey, hey! Miss Briggs wouldn’t be joking about things like that

<Hans_Lynx> I guess… ::looks at Chance:; She might not be joking, but ol’ Manx might be going senile.

<Jake_Clawson> Manx has PR to worry about. By supporting you guys he’s got a lot of constituency to please.

<Tasha_Forge> ::smirks:: we prolly saved his golf course or something to get that kind of money out of him.

<Chance_Furlong> That, and it’s he’s prolly thinking of getting more votes for his re-election :: grins::

<Hans_Lynx> ::laughs:: Yeah, must have. ::pats the chopper:: Well, lets see if I can at least get this to HQ, Tasha. We’ll let the director see about it getting finished.

<Tasha_Forge> ::nods:: Just…be careful. I don’t trust ole tin can Lizzie there. She don’t look sturdy.

<Hans_Lynx> Surely there’s a chute included? That DOESN’T have holes in it?

<Tasha_Forge> or maybe you can borrow a pillow to land on? ::snickers::

<Jake_Clawson> I know there’s a flotation device.

<Chance_Furlong> ::chuckles:: Which looks more like a used-up tire…

<Jake_Clawson> So, my advice, aim for water :: leaves them with the chopper, heading back to the garage ::

<Tasha_Forge> I guess I’ll follow you to HQ then? Or rather get there and hope you make it too.

<Hans_Lynx> Ha ha ha, everyone’s a joker today. ::climbs up into the pilot’s seat. minding the springs in the back, takes up a helmet if there is one.:: Yes. Go on out, I’ll be soon after.

<Chance_Furlong> ::heads back to the garage as well, muttering something about ‘workloads’ and ‘two kats only’::

<Tasha_Forge> ::nods:: Be careful. ::goes and gets in her car, starting it up and watching to make sure the helicopter gets off the ground first::

* Jake_Clawson is now known as _Matt_

<_Matt_> ((brb, unless you guys take off, then I’ll see you tommorow))

<Hans_Lynx> ::when all out out of the way, starts up the chopper and takes off slowly upwards. mun assumes this thing gets him safely to MBI XD::

<Tasha_Forge> ((okies!))

<Hans_Lynx> ((lol okay!))

<Chance_Furlong> ((Sure thing!))

<Tasha_Forge> ::heads for the MBI! pulls up in due time and gets out, hurringing inside and upstairs to the roof to wait on him. ::

<Hans_Lynx> ((::thinks I’m going to take off actually lol will have him land tomorrow XD::

<Hans_Lynx> ))

<Hans_Lynx> ((Night everyone! ::hugs for y’all:: ))

<Tasha_Forge> ((maww nights! :hugs!::))
