Tessie comes by the Bureau to visit with Tran as the two have become good friends. Tansy hasn’t met Tran yet and so Tessie introduces them. The three decide to paint the hollowed eggshells Tran has saved up from his food source and discuss various things, getting to know one another better.
<Tansy_B> 4 RPG Go!
<Tessie_Reed> ::will arrive at MBI! going in search of Tran!:: Tran? ::going to the basement!::
<Tansy_B> ::is at the front desk!::
<Tansy_B> ::have we met before, Tessiemun?::
<Tessie_Reed> ::um….I think so…..::
<Tessie_Reed> ::surely so as long as we’ve had these two around::
<Tansy_B> ::lol alright:: Hello, Tessie! What brings you here today?
<Tessie_Reed> I am looking for Tran. I brought him something to eat. ::held up at the desk! I be there shortly!::
<Tansy_B> Who? ::obviously hasn’t met him yet despite both living at the Bureau lol she’s often out though, and has been stuck doing front desk duties while Hertz is out and Selkirk waiting to be reinstated::
<Tran> ::hanging upside down by his tail on a pipe in the basement… an egg delicatly placed inbetween hid teeth::
<Tessie_Reed> Tran. Big, Mutant lizard looking guy. He is new here.
<Tansy_B> ::and for Tranmun’s info, this is Tansy: http://cestvrai.info/mbi/allies.php?subaction=showfull&id=1174658099&archive=&start_from=&ucat=4& ))
<Tansy_B> ::^
<Tansy_B> Oh… and he is a talking lizard? I cannot believe I have not seen him yet. ::giggles and stands:: May I go with you to find him?
<Tessie_Reed> He is a full grown kat….thing. And sure. ::will head down to the basement:: he stays down here some…
<Tran> ::the light sound of tran’s minisnores are carried to them through the vent his head is next to::
<Tansy_B> ::floats a few inches off the floor behind Tessie. wings aren’t visible nor are her tiny anteenae as she has to work with the public while at the front desk. XD is in her 3 foot height, but doesn’t look like a midget with any disproportions::
<Tessie_Reed> ::going down to the basement, going along to find him and grins:: He’s sleeping…::whispered::
<Tran> ::still naked… but sine he is an it, there is nothing to see X3. the long legs are folded and his arms are too::
<Tansy_B> Oh. So let’s wake him up! ::giggles, lands now to stand in front of him, on the floor there, looking up:: He’s a big lizard kat… I wonder if he’s tickleish! ::reaches up to try and tickle him under his arms XD::
<Tessie_Reed> I guess we really should get him some clothing…..and a blanket if he wishes it. ::blinks:: Tansy…I wouldn’t do that. :;frowns, backing up::
<Tran> ::eyes snap open and the bright yellows stares at Tansy… perfectly still… … … warm smile, drops the egg in to his paw:: Not wise to tickle a ceature who hangs in midair new Mistress ::scales don’t tickle well::
<Tessie_Reed> ::lets out the breath she was holding:: Tran, this is Tansy. Tansy, this is Tran.
<Tansy_B> ::gasps and backs up to Tessie. smiles though at his smile:: Hello, Tran! Why is that not wise?
<Tansy_B> ((::laughs:: Tansy, Tessie and Tran. The three T’s yo. Start a weird rock group.))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Tran> ((LOL))
<Tran> Because Mistress Tansy, I could wake up startled and fall ::giggles and grips the pipe with his foot and relises his tail… stretching down, puts his over foot on the ground and then stnad up straight letting go of his other foot::
<Tansy_B> Mistress Tansy? ::little laugh:: I am not your mistress. I do not believe it is right for anyone to own someone else. We all must be free to play and frolic! ::spins ’round on one foot a moment before standing next to Tessie anew::
<Tessie_Reed> He has a hard time grasping that concept. So for now he will probably call you Mistress. ::smiles at Tran:: I brought you eggs and juice! ::handing them over in a grocery bag::
<Tansy_B> ((LOL ::mun gets a cute picture in head that’d make a keen drawing. these three playing a game of Candy Land or something together::))
<Tessie_Reed> ((mawwwwww!))
<Tran> … ::blushesn his whole body going a light red tint, rubs the back of his neck:: I am still getting the hang of this… Free thing ::chuckles and takes the juice and eggs:: Ooooo thank you Mistress Tessie
<Tansy_B> Juice and eggs? ::looks at Tessie oddly::
<Tessie_Reed> Remember…you said you would call me sister instead of mistress. ::grins, then to Tansy:: It is his food source. Eggs and Pomegrante juice
<Tran> ::swishing his tail happierly:: YAY thank you Sister ::holding the tray in one hand and hugs her with his other arm:: I must intake these ever 2 hours
<Tessie_Reed> ::hugs Tran! mawwww!:: You are most welcome.
<Tansy_B> ::giggles:: You sound like McGrath and Stormcrow. They tell us to not call them Great One and Almost As Great one, only by their names. It is hard not to show sign of respect for those who free you though. ::smiles at the two:: Did you free Tran, Tessie?
<Tran> … ::blinks and looks at Tessie… not sure if she was the one to free him::
<Tessie_Reed> No, A couple of the other agents did. Captain Forge and Agent Korat purchased him at an auction to keep him from falling into the wrong hands. Agent Lynx and Agent Forge set him free. I was there when he was freed but can not take credit for doing so. ::mun thinks she had all those names right XD::
<Tran> ::sits down in his tail like a makeshift stool::
<Tansy_B> ((yep!))
<Tessie_Reed> (Yayeee!))
<Tran> ::beams and smiles… pierces his egg with his sharp pointed tongue as he holds it in his mouth and sucks out the continues:: But the MBI paid the bill so I am theirs
<Tansy_B> Why were you at this… auction? ::tries not to make a face at him eating raw eggs. XD::
<Tessie_Reed> ::goes to grab a couple of chairs and pulls them over to sit with Tran! brings one for Tansy too!::
<Tran> ::Shrugs:: I finished working for the “Father” one night, went to sleep… there were long nosies and I woke up here
<Tansy_B> ::smiles:: Thanks. ::to Tessie and sits down on the chair for her::
<Tran> ::eats another egg and leaves the near intact shell for painting later ^^::
<Tessie_Reed> He was in some sort of pod that left him in a sort of stasis sleep. He was purchased in a sale of items confiscated from various villians that had been raided. His pod was one of those items.
<Tansy_B> Oh you poor thing!
<Tansy_B> Which villain was it that had put you there like that?
<Tran> … Only the “Father” ::smiles and offers her an egg, not feeling like a poor thing::
<Tessie_Reed> We believe it was Dr. Viper.
<Tansy_B> ::shakes head, putting hand up like “no thanks”:: Oh… he is… well I am glad he thinks so highly of plants, but he harms them with chemicals and makes them evil, so I do not like him.
<Tran> He give me my rebirth and in exchange I served him. But he doesn’t harm them… merely reformats them. Gives them a means of defending themselves… but I think ::hangs his head:: I think he lost his way and now forgets those he creates, to busy creating then next thing and the next
<Tessie_Reed> ::reaches over to pat Tran’s shoulder:: It is alright. You have a place here now, among friends. ::smiles warmly::
<Tran> ::hugs:: Thank you sister….
<Tansy_B> Aye! The MBI never forgets friends or any of their agents.
<Tessie_Reed> ::hugs him back!:: No, it doesn’t. The kats here will take care of you. We all will.
<Tansy_B> We can play games if you get bored! I love to play games, do you Tran?
<Tran> I don’t know many games… expect ones me and the rest of the brotherhood played, and those need a lab to do…::smiles and looks to Tansy:: Would you like to paint eggshells with us later, Mistress Tansy?
<Tansy_B> Oooh can I Tessie? Can I?
<Tessie_Reed> Of course! ::smiles:: It is really fun!
<Tran> ::bounces on his tail like a spring:: YAY!
<Tansy_B> Yey! :;giggles:: I’ll help get the paints and the like, where are they?
<Tessie_Reed> Um…I think we put them on a shelf over there. ::pointing to a lil area on a shelf they cleared out to store them! gets up to get the lil foldable table she found to unfold so they have somewhere to sit their paints!::
<Tran> ::climbs back up to the pipes and gets the eggs he’s been saving::
<Tessie_Reed> HOw many do we have this time, brother?
<Tansy_B> ::flies up and over to the shelf to collect the paints, brushes, empty containers for water. Tran can feel a slight breeze blowing, not enough to knock things over, just to cool down::
<Tran> 38 in reserve and- ::ears twitch:: Did the temperture just drop?
<Tessie_Reed> ::pauses:: Yes it did…Someone must have turned on the a/c to a lower temperature
<Tansy_B> ::sits the stuff down and goes to get water. she’s happy so it’s breezy! XD:: Here we are. I’ll get the water! ::has her wings appear and flies up the stairs with the empty containers::
<Tran> ::eyes go wide and he falls down with the eggshells intact still…suprised by the wings:: Woah!
<Tessie_Reed> ::blinks:: Tran! are you alright? ::going to help him up::
<Tansy_B> ::can move faster with them out. goes to breakroom to get water and fills up three containers. the breeze left when she did::
<Tran> ::brubs his boney rear as he sits up:: Owieowieowie ::looks at the eggs:: YAY! the shells didn’t break
<Tessie_Reed> ::grins:: That is good! ::will help him set the shells on the table carefully in a bowl so they don’t roll away::
<Tansy_B> ::soon returns, spilled some water along the way down but the containers are still half full. lands now:: Here we are! ::sets them down on the table::
<Tessie_Reed> Thank you, Tansy. I think your wings scared, Tran. ::grins:: he has not seen someone like you.
<Tran> ::blushes:: No one I’ve ever seen has had wings before
<Tansy_B> ::blinks:: Oh my! I’m sorry. ::has them vanish:: I just wanted to fly faster to get us the water. ::smiles:: My sister and I have many names. Pixie, sprite, fairy. McGrath calls us pixies, so you can refer to us as that. ::sits down now and waits to paint::
<Tran> ::tail picks up the brushs and passes them around:: A Pixie? I am a 5PY series Snakekat
<Tansy_B> ::takes her brush. giggles:: Really? We are all different then. Tessie is a cyberkat, aren’t you Tessie?
<Tran> … we are all the same where it counts ::smiles:: Captain Cat episode 12
<Tessie_Reed> ::Takes her brush, nodding:: Yes, I am. A later model from the first ones created but one none the less. ::taking up an eggshell and starts to paint!::
<Tran> You have a brotherhood too? ::raises a bro at Tessie::
<Tansy_B> ::surprisingly handles the eggshells well with delicate tiny fingers. uses white to make various shades of blue. adds a bit of green. making her egg look like water flowing around it. when she can’t hold it without getting fingers wet with paint, she uses her magic to hold it in the air in front of her to paint::
<Tansy_B> ((::dies:: <Tran> You have a brotherhood too? ::raises a bro at Tessie:: <Tran’s bro>::is a turtle/kat mix, hiding in his shell::))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIIIES!::))
<Tessie_Reed> Somewhat…though we were not as your brotherhood. The first few have disappeared to hide away so they are not discover. Others show themselves but have bad intentions. I am malfunctioning so most do not want to be near me.
<Tran> ((LOL))
<Tran> … you are ill ::worried look::
<Tansy_B> Ill? ::looks at Tessie::
<Tessie_Reed> No, I am not ill. I am malfunctioning. ::smiles:: I suppose to you both it would be considered ill. I have a virus in my system that I cannot be rid of. I can contain it to keep it from damaging me further, but still I do not function at full 100% now.
<Tansy_B> You seem to have always um… function before well enough.
<Tran> pity there is no one you can go to the get medical attention… ::fears doctors… thinks they just cut them up::
<Tessie_Reed> My malfunctions are rare, and usually seen only when I am trying to do something with my special abilities. Sometimes transportation and defenses are hindered. I have tried to get help but my dad cannot seem to stop it.
<Tansy_B> Is your dad a cyberkat healer?
<Tessie_Reed> No, he is a scientist. He is still learning about my systems so maybe in time he can eliminate the virus.
<Tran> Scientist? ::sudders:: They take kats like us apart and don’t put us together again
<Tansy_B> I’m sure he will. ::smiles now and has her egg sit on a little holder if they have ‘em to dry. proud of herself, then eeps looks to Tran:: They do?
<Tran> ::nods:: The “Father” warned us of their evil… it’s like “the Father’s” own
<Tran> ::painting his egg in to Captain Cat Characters::
<Tessie_Reed> ::blinks:: My dad would never do that! he is not that type of scientist. He works on machine type inventions, not kats
<Tran> You are a kat
<Tansy_B> ::gulps:: Your father doesn’t work for the NSA does he? ::to Tessie:: Because they might make him…
<Tran> The NSA?
<Tessie_Reed> Well…its different….my systems act like a computer. Not like a biological kat. ::Then to Tansy:: No, he works for Puma Dyne. A research and development company.
<Tran> But you are a kat… watch out for him
<Tessie_Reed> He is safe. ::smiles:: Do not worry.
<Tessie_Reed> You should meet him sometime. You would like him, Tran.
<Tansy_B> If you are certain. ::then to Tran:: The NSA are bad kats. They want to destroy magical creatures like me. They also want control over kats with powers.
<Tansy_B> But Puma-Dyne is not made of bad kats, so Tessie’s father is probably nice as she says. ::smiles to Tessie::
<Tran> ::the fear in his pupleless eyes is clear::… I d-d-don’t like the sound of this NSA
<Tessie_Reed> ::notes that, setting her egg down and reaches over to pat Tran’s arm:: It is okay. You are safe here. ::smiles::
<Tansy_B> We’re safe here, Tran. ::decides to paint a few roses on this next egg::
<Tran> … ::small smile and starts to paint Tessie as he’s next egg::
<Tansy_B> That is why I hide my wings most times. So that if any bad kats come, they will not know.
<Tessie_Reed> The MBI is a safe place for kats like us that are different. It is why so many have gathered here.
<Tran> ::looks down:: I guess I might find it harder to hid
<Tansy_B> ::giggles:: I don’t know about that. I did not know you were here and I live here myself! ::smiles:: Do you always stay in the basement?
<Tran> ::nods:: I… I went out once before…. The “Father” need supples. I scared kats ::ears droop::
<Tessie_Reed> Kats fear what they do not understand. Maybe one day we all can show kats what we really are without them being scared of us.
<Tansy_B> You are very nice, Tran. You don’t scare me. Neither do you Tessie, even if you may miss function.
<Tran> I don’t want to scare kats ever… that’s what the bad kats do
<Tansy_B> Maybe you could wear a disguise? Put some clothing and fake hair on under a hat? ::giggles:: We all can go out for icecream at my favorite place!
<Tessie_Reed> Here you will not. For a time you may scare anyone that does not know what you are but they will learn.
<Tessie_Reed> ::giggles:: WHat about his tail, Tansy?
<Tansy_B> Hmm… Hide it under a long coat?
<Tran> ::looks down at it:: What about it?
<Tansy_B> It is quite long.
<Tran> … It stretches too ;;beams::
<Tansy_B> ::blinks a bit then grins, stands up suddenly:: Oh! Oh oh!
<Tessie_Reed> ::blinks:: What is it?
<Tran> ::raises a brow:: Yes?
<Tansy_B> I know a day we can all go out and be ourselves! I heard of it after it happened last year, but it won’t be too late this year! ::grins at them:: There is a time of year in October on All Hallows Eve where regular kats dress up as all sorts of things and get candy and party! ::clasps her hands together:: You two can come with my sister and I out on this night! No one would be scared then.
<Tran> ::eyes widen!!:: Halloween? What is it about?
<Tessie_Reed> ::accessing information she is!:: Oh! It is a celebration of the dead. ::Frowns:: Is this not a bad thing though?
<Tansy_B> That is what it used to be, Tessie, but now it’s a time for candy, dances, mischief and treats! Everyone will think Tran is just wearing a costume.
<Tansy_B> Even the children participate in Halloween.
<Tran> ::beams:: Oooooo I like kitts… they are so cute ::swishing his tail:: And the dead don’t worry me… afterall I was dead
<Tessie_Reed> So it is not bad…..::thinking on this:: I will have to see if my dad will let me out on this night. He has not spoken of it before.
<Tansy_B> then it will be a celebration of you too. ::giggles. doesn’t seem phased by his “I was dead” comment. lol she’s seen all sorts of creatures in her long lifetime::
<Tansy_B> Oh yes, please do! You can come with us, Tessie, and maybe some of the MBI agents too.
<Tran> ::bounces as she paints Tansy as an egg:: I want to see this day now…
<Tessie_Reed> Perhaps. Though I have accessed information on this halloween….you two look different, as though in costume. What about me? I look normal on the outside.
<Tansy_B> It won’t be for several more weeks, October 31st by the calender. We will have plenty of time to get you a costume by then, Tessie.
<Tran> … ::thinks:: We could paint you ::hold up his brushs beaming… like a kitt who doesn’t see the harm in painted themself XD::
<Tessie_Reed> ::blinks:: No thank you, Tran. IT is a nice idea but hard to clean up. I…do not like a lot of water.
<Tran> … ::pouts:: But you could be blue and purple… ::his scales turn blue and purple!!!!::
<Tessie_Reed> ::giggles!:: hmmmm…..I coudl be…..::starting to access information on halloween costumes::
<Tran> ::his first colour change! YAY::
<Tansy_B> ::laughs and claps for Tran:: Oooh you’re pretty, Tran!
<Tran> What? ::blinks… not noticing::
<Tessie_Reed> Your colors! They are pretty!
<Tansy_B> Lookit yourself. ::giggles, pointing::
<Tran> ::looks down and falls backward, staring at his claws:: What?!
<Tansy_B> Did you not know you can do that?
<Tessie_Reed> ::watching him curiously!::
<Tran> ::pokes at it and it slowly starts to fade back to it’s normal viper colours:: WOW! … ::shuts his eyes and suddenly his red… orange… then yellow!::
<Tansy_B> ::laughs watching with amusement::
<Tessie_Reed> ::giggles, clapping:: oh cool!! That is neat Tran!
<Tansy_B> Can you make all the colors of the rainbow at once?
<Tran> … ::bites his lips:: errrrrrm… ::shuts his eyes again… and… mult-raindow coloured tran!!!! opens his eyes and looks arounf himself::… This… T-this must be a unknown side effect to the transformation sequince
<Tessie_Reed> ::grins:: It is a neat one! Oh! Oh! Tran! Do you realize what you could possibly do?!
<Tansy_B> Oooooh…. ::just stares::
<Tansy_B> ::smiling too with amazement::
<Tran> … what could I do?
<Tran> ::grining very wide!::
<Tessie_Reed> You could possibly learn to camoflauge yourself! like those chameleons!
<Tansy_B> ((and brb guys, gotta make ‘n eat dinner. ::just having simple hotdogs ‘n tater salad tonight so won’t be but a half hour or so::))
<Tran> … ((we’ll wait then))
<Tansy_B> Hee, be right back! ::wings poof appear and she flies up the stairs to go find something::
* Tansy_B is now known as Tansy_Upstairs
<Tessie_Reed> ((okies!))
<Tessie_Reed> ((shall we continue while she’s away? XD))
<Tran> I could? ::wide eyed and thinks… looks behind him and focuses… like the invisbal effect in the preditor::
<Tessie_Reed> ::watching:: you can do it. study the pattern on the wall and try to immitate it.
<Tran> ::suddenly eyes snap open and falls over his colours snapping back to normal… too much too soon::… e-e-e-e… eggs…. j-juoce!
<Tessie_Reed> ::eyes widen:: oh! Hold on! ::hurries to get them! rushing back over to hand him the eggs and juice she brought earlier!:: Here you go.
<Tran> ::no time to safe the sheel… just cracks them over his mouth and pours them in… chugs back the juice as his stomuch visible starts bubbleing under the scales… feels the beast within::
<Tessie_Reed> ::sits down beside him, taking the eggs out for him to eat:: Easy, take deep breaths. It will be alright. ::warm smile.::
<Tran> ::breathing hard::… run…. l-l-lock…. door
<Tessie_Reed> ::shaking head:: NO, I am not going to leave you. What can I do to help?
<Tran> ::coughs up a little bit of shell::… ::starts to stop shaking::… it’s…. it’s okay…
<Tessie_Reed> Are you sure?
<Tran> … ::pants and gives a tired smile:: The…. the transformation…. it’s stopped
<Tessie_Reed> The transformation? ::worried look, will find him something fluffy to lay his head on so he can rest::
* Tansy_Upstairs is now known as Tansy_B
<Tansy_B> ::runs downstairs with a bunch of clothing in her arms:: Here we are!
<Tansy_B> ::or flies rather XD goes over to where they are and lands::
<Tessie_Reed> ((WB!))
<Tansy_B> ((TY!))
<Tessie_Reed> ::perks ears at her return:: Shhhh…Tran has had a very bad experience….
<Tran> … ::looks away from her:: there… there is an inherent falur in the “Father’s” DNA… the 5Py series were made as test subject who could survive the transformation multiple times and have it reversed so the “Father” could find a cure for the “Father” ::gulps:: I … I have some monster inside of me Sister. It is why I must eat eggs and drink juice only and why I must intake them every 2 hours
<Tessie_Reed> I see. Then we will keep you with plenty of juice and eggs. ::smiles warmly:: ANd perhaps one day we can find a cure for this monster.
<Tansy_B> ::blinks hearing this and Tran’s explination:: Is he going to be alright? ::worried. sets the pile of clothing on the floor. are MBI training sweatpants and shirts with the MBI logo on ‘em at the breast::
<Tansy_B> ::got several sizes as wasn’t sure how tall he was::
<Tran> … ::small smile… he’s 7 foot tall but can fit a size 4 maybe even 3:: I think… I just used up… too much… too fast
<Tessie_Reed> ::nods:: you lie here and rest then. Regain your strength. Look, Tansy brought you clothing. ::Grins::
<Tansy_B> ::ears droop:: I’m sorry… I did not know it would harm you to change colors…
<Tran> … ::small smile:: I … used too much… too soon… I didn’t know either Mistress Tansy ::tail lefts up to pet her::… and do I have to wear clothes? I am cold blooded… hetting hot is not the best idea for me
<Tessie_Reed> You do not have to, but it might be a good idea if you venture out of the basement. Just in case.
<Tansy_B> You do not have to wear them now… just that when you wished to go out… perhaps you could become the color of a normal kat and wear these, you might be alright walking about the parking lot or can go see the garden outside the building once in awhile…
<Tran> ::holds up his claws:: I will still not fit in
<Tansy_B> ::bends down and reaches in the pile. pulls out some pairs of gloves and holds them up:: You can stuff the third one with something.
<Tansy_B> ::third finger she means he won’t have;:
<Tessie_Reed> We can still try. If you want that is.
<Tansy_B> And… a cap for your head, and sunglasses for your eyes, and a scarf for your face. This… would probably be best for winter so you won’t get too overheated.
<Tansy_B> I can make a cold breeze while with you to help.
<Tran> ::warms smile and sits up:: Not today though… I don’t think I could handle the outside just yet
<Tessie_Reed> We can do this when you think you are ready. ::smiles, scooting back some so he can sit up!::
<Tansy_B> ::nods at what Tessie said. smiling a bit now::
<Tran> I am sorry I broke these eggshells ::looking down at the ones he broke open to eat::
<Tansy_B> It is okay. There are plenty of eggs in the world. ::picks up the clothing now to move it out of the way::
<Tessie_Reed> Hey…we have plenty more to paint. And I am sure there will be more. ::smiles:: you want to finish painting your egg? Or me and Tansy can leave and let you rest if you choose so.
<Tran> ::looks at the clothes:: Are there any that are 7 foot tall and a size 4?
<Tansy_B> Um… I do not know. You can look through them later. ::finishes putting them in a pile out of the way lol on a shelf::
<Tessie_Reed> If there isn’t, we will find a solution later for you some cool, comfortable clothing.
