<Josie_Lyons> RPG go!
<Josie_Lyons> ::strolling through the park one daaaay, in the merry merry month of Maaay-errrr Aprillll!::
<Angela_Daniels> ::arriving in the park perhaps with de Mark? Having blanket draped over an arm so they can picnic? XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::shua! issa carrying the basket. Considers this lunch, not a date. XD::
<Angela_Daniels> ::uh huh….face it Mark! You need to go on a date with me! XD willa find a good spot near the path of Josie and spreads out the blanket!:: how’s this?
<Dave_Santo> ::finally a day off that coninsides with Josie’s days off, his bow around his shoulder as he walks beside Josie, goes to hold the lady’s hand::
<Angela_Daniels> ::inna pair of jean capri’s, flip flops, and a light green shirt. Hair pulled up loosely in a ponytail::
<Dave_Santo> ::Just remember what month we’re in Josie ¬¬::
<Josie_Lyons> ::maw! holds Dave’s hand and smiles. has her own bow on her shoulder too since we are going to or coming from the archery club? Hasn’t practiced without Dave in a long while and he can probably tell >_>::
<Mark_Sulfur> :in just regular jeans, sandals and a light blue shirt::
<Dave_Santo> ::Is in his standard light grey suit with a light blue shirt and dark blue tie, they have finished archery for the morning ¬¬ giving Josie a look:: Sooooo… when did you last touch your bow?
<Josie_Lyons> Um… when was it we last went to the club? ::sheepish expression. wearing khaki capri pants, white short sleeved blouse and white slip on canvas shoes. bullet pendant dangling ’round her neck, gold barret clipping her bangs to the side::
<Mark_Sulfur> It’s fine. ::smiles some::
<Dave_Santo> ::slight frown X3 trys not to scold her:: You’ll never get anywhere in compertition if you do not practict. Do you believe anyone can get gold on pure talent?
<Angela_Daniels> Alright. ::takes a seat!:: Lets get that food out. I’m starving.
<Josie_Lyons> No… but I’ve been busy… you know that. ::notes a couple of picnicers up ahead::
<Mark_Sulfur> Sure. ::sits, starts getting the food out for them.:: Tuna melt okay?
<Angela_Daniels> oh it’ll be wonderful! ::taking the tuna melt gratefully! taking a bit:: mmm….delicious.
<Dave_Santo> ::not looking at others, just josie… sighs and rubs the back of his neck:: I know, but you could have at least tried… maybe there is a computer simulation you can try during your lunch breaks at the office
<Mark_Sulfur> Glad you like ‘em. ::grins, chews on his sammish thoughtfully:: So… how’s the office?
<Josie_Lyons> ::laughs:: Well I’d rather do the real thing. I’m sure the NSA has allotment for archery somewhere. And I often work through lunch… so much paperwork.
<Angela_Daniels> Busy as usual. ::laughs:: Some unusual cases but the same old same ole really. Car wrecks, fires..that sort of thing. What about yours?
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Mark> I helped save the world by sleeping.))
<Mark_Sulfur> Just the usual though things are calming down.
<Dave_Santo> ::gives a calming sigh:: Ah yes… paperwork, the much needed cog in the law enforcing machine ::X3 yeah I’m weird but that’s why she loves me:: If it would help I know some kats at the archery club who’d willingly sign up to give NSA agents classes
<JosalynLyons> We’ll see… ::then points up ahead:: Hey look, it’s Mark up ahead with… some girl? ::surprised lol::
<Angela_Daniels> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Angela_Daniels> Thats good. You needed a break. ::taking a bite of her sandwich. ::
<Mark_Sulfur> I think we all did.
* @Josie_Lyons Quit (Ping timeout)
<Dave_Santo> ::blinks and looks, a light growl under his breathe as he looks at Mark:: Why today? ::muttered::
<Angela_Daniels> Yeah..you guys did. You guys stay really busy. we hear about it at the office often
<JosalynLyons> C’mon, let’s go say hi. ::gives Dave’s hand a squeeze and leads him over to their blanket::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::chuckles:: Have beds lined up for us?
<Dave_Santo> ::not by his choice is lead over behind josie as he Mark chatting to the lady::
<Angela_Daniels> ::laughs:: We have a whole wing dedicated to your bunch pretty much. ::grins::
<JosalynLyons> Hey, Mark! ::smiles and reaches him ‘n Angela with a reluctant Dave XD::

<JosalynLyons> ::laughs some and leggos to stand straight:: Does the MBI need a full time doctor now?
<Angela_Daniels> ::snickers:: Not yet. We ran into one another a while back and have been catching up since. Its hard to get a moment with our hectic schedules.
<Angela_Daniels> ::And my brother’s name is Tim thank you very much. XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::smiles::
<Dave_Santo> <Of course were MBI agents properly trained they wouldn’t need a doctor half the time> ::smiles:: Yes, hectic schedules can be bothersome can’t they?
<Dave_Santo> But if one does they’re job right, that is time well spent
<Mark_Sulfur> I suppose, Santo.
<Angela_Daniels> True. ::looking at Mark. starting to sense some tension here. lol!::
<JosalynLyons> ::smiles, glad Dave is being plesant XD even if it is hard:: Who made the food? Mark always made a good tuna melt.
<Angela_Daniels> I’m assuming he did. Its really good. I was starving too. ::laughs:: So makes it even better.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::just smiles. Doesn’t feel comfortable around Dave::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::tries not to shoot him dirty looks. XD::
<JosalynLyons> Well, I guess we’ll head on our way. ::takes Dave’s hand again:: Good to see you when there isn’t a major crisis, Mark.
<Mark_Sulfur> Yeah. Same here. ::smiles pleasantly::
<JosalynLyons> Nice to meet you, Angie. ::starts to head off with Dave lol keep it pleasent::
<Dave_Santo> ::smiles:: I’m sure they are. Not that they are that hard to make ::smiles at MArk:: But don’t let that take away your claim to fame Mark ::chuckles, trying to be nice::
<Dave_Santo> ::starts to head off too X3::
<Mark_Sulfur> My claim to fame…?
<Dave_Santo> ::Well Josie hasn’t said you do anything else good ^^::
<JosalynLyons> ::adjusts bow on shoulder and hurriestugs on Dave before he can utter anything else lol::
<JosalynLyons> ::cutting through the park from the archery club to Josie’s house::
<Angela_Daniels> ::blinks, looking to Mark:: Did…I miss something?
<Dave_Santo> ::smiles as they get out of vocal distence:: I think that went quite well
<Mark_Sulfur> Don’t worry about it. ::shaking his head:: it’s not worth the headache.
<JosalynLyons> Yes it did. I told you Mark and I have been getting along better as of late.
<Angela_Daniels> ::shrugs:: If you say so. ::eating some more. willa stay out of it. lol!::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::please. Don’t wanna get you involved. XD:: how’s Tim, by the way?
<JosalynLyons> ((<Angela> He has a bio. ^_^ <Mark> Wha?))
<Angela_Daniels> Busy. He landed a huge project downtown renovating a nice hotel. Its paying well too.
<Angela_Daniels> ((::DIIIES!:: <Angela> And I don’t! ;_; ))
<JosalynLyons> ((LOL! Shamey!))
<JosalynLyons> ((<Tim> I’m even less important of an NPC than you, sis! Bwhahaha! ::claps hand on her back::))
<Angela_Daniels> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Dave_Santo> ::nods:: You had, and I promised I would be pleasent towards “him” while you two were getting along ::sighs:: Although I must say I don’t quite know how to feel with you getting along well with your exboyfriend ::smirks, joking::
<Mark_Sulfur> That’s great news.
<JosalynLyons> ::slight blush:: Eh heh well you should feel glad… I mean he’s not just an ex-boyfriend but a colleague. I deal with him as Director Sulfur almost as much as I do with Commander Feral.
<JosalynLyons> ((<Mark> Can he come fix the destroyed wall at the Bureau next?))
<Angela_Daniels> yeah I’m really proud of him. He’s doing so well.
<Angela_Daniels> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((BRB!))

<Angela_Daniels> ((okies!))
<Dave_Santo> ((::DIES:: … okay))
<Mark_Sulfur> And, I’m pretty sure he’s proud of you.
<Angela_Daniels> ((WB!))
<Angela_Daniels> Heh..I should hope so. His approval was always a big thing for me. Boyfriends, work, schools…
<Mark_Sulfur> Always?
<Dave_Santo> ((WB))
<Angela_Daniels> Always. And you know how picky he can get.
<JosalynLyons> ::smiles and leans against him some, nearing her house now as they exit the park:: I know… I wish we could spend more time together, on and off duty. That’s one of the things I hate about my position.
<Mark_Sulfur> Please tell me you chose the profession.
<JosalynLyons> ((<Tim> I wanted her to work at the Belly Jelly jellybean factory but nooooo she wanted to be a doctor. ::sad face::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::dies!::))
<Angela_Daniels> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Dave_Santo> ((LOL you were after the employee family discount?))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((LOL!))
<Angela_Daniels> ::busts up laughing:: Yes! I didn’t mean he dictates my life! ist just..his opinion means a lot to me.
<JosalynLyons> ((<Tim> THat’s right! And all the free jelly beans she’d bring home! *_*))
<Mark_Sulfur> ::smiles:: That’s good to hear.
<Angela_Daniels> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Dave_Santo> ::sighs and goes to kiss her forehead:: Yes, but we are married to duty first
<Angela_Daniels> Now if I could just fine a boyfriend to get him to approve of…::laughing a bit. hint hint MARK! XD::
<JosalynLyons> Yeah… married to duty first. ::moves from him now to go up her steps and unlock the door. holds it open a bit for him to come inside after::
<Dave_Santo> ::heads on in and takes off his shoes before he rest his bow and arrow quiff against the wall::
<JosalynLyons> ((<Mark> Is he still doing his “Withstand My Strength” test of sitting on your potential boyfriends for an hour?))
<Angela_Daniels> ((::DIIIES!::)
<Dave_Santo> ((::dies a death))
<JosalynLyons> ::slips out of her shoes as well and leans her bow ‘n quiff next to Dave’s against the wall by the door:: So… we ordering in or you able to cook still?
<Mark_Sulfur> I’m sure you’ll find someone. ::winks::
<Angela_Daniels> Well..I sorta found someone I’m interested in but…I dunno if he’s interested back….I try to make advances but he always just seems distant.
<Dave_Santo> ::thinks:: Would you like a tunamelt? ::I can do anything better than Mark::
<JosalynLyons> ::shuts door locking it then looks at him funny:: A tunamelt?
<JosalynLyons> ((<Mark> What’s he look like? <Angela>::holds up mirrow to Mark:: <Mark> Never seen him before. Have fun getting him.))

Even still you’re a way better cook than he is. ::leans back to look at him, smiling fondly:: No one can make my favorite like you. You put just the right amount of curry in my chicken.
