Dave and Josie run into Mark while out doing some shopping. The encounter as usual is less than pleasant.
<Mark_Sulfur> RPG go Go GO!
<Mark_Sulfur> ((<Dave>::tells Josie no fatty foods:: <Josie> ><*))
<Josie_Lyons> ::wheee! so enters the supermarket with Dave! wearing casual clothes of course. a short dark brown skirt, white cream colored short sleeved blouse, dark brown knee high boots. gold bullet pendant.::
<Dave_Santo> ((::dies!!!!))
<Josie_Lyons> ((LOL Josie’s more healthy eating than Dave probably XD))
<Mark_Sulfur> ::is in the electronics section. XD::
<Josie_Lyons> Aside from groceries, do we need anything else?
<Dave_Santo> ::wearing his casual clothes which look for business wear X3 dark blue suit pants, light grey shirt, black tie and a blue suot jacket and black boots to a mirror shine… walking with Josie and smiles at her:: And now we have a better excuse for a spice rake… maybe I should get a new razor ::feels his chin:: They sell electric razors here?
<Josie_Lyons> Oh yes. This is MegaMart, it sells food, clothes, electronics, automotive, just about everything. ::smiles. grabs a cart and pushes it along:: Let’s go find the non grocery items first, like your razor.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::is looking for a couple things for his computer and is getting an iPod after Trina hassled him into getting one. XD::
<Dave_Santo> ::sighs and looks around:: I still say a store this big is obsence… I used to get by on 3 small shops and a bar ::looks at the chrismas decorations already out XP::
<Josie_Lyons> ::chuckles:: They have a huge liquor selection here too. ::nudges him. makes her way to the electronics dept. pauses to look at the signs:: Hmm…
<Mark_Sulfur> ::reading the back of something. Is also looking at a two for one special. Half tempted to get one for Angela::
<Dave_Santo> ::tail swishes more at the big booze alie idea X3 blinks at the hmm:: What is it my lady love?
<Josie_Lyons> Only problem with these huge stores is finding things… Let’s try this way. ::smiles at him and goes down an aisle, turning then into the one Mark’s in::
<Dave_Santo> … Still say a store that advertises it’s sales on the television with girls in bikinis isn’t fit for us, Josie
<Josie_Lyons> ::looks at him:: I didn’t realize they had a commercial like that. ::stunned lol then stops the cart abruptly as she looks down the aisle, a few feet from Mark:: Oh! Director Sulfur… what are you doing here?
<Mark_Sulfur> <Mmm… 30G or 60G… what am I gonna do with 60Gs? I don’t have 7,500 songs to fill a 30G one…>
<Dave_Santo> I had the displeasure of arresting one for drugs used the other day… ::blinks and look… frowns:: Director Sulfur
<Mark_Sulfur> ::perks his ears, blinks to see Josie… and… HIM. ><*:: Hey, Lyons. Just shopping.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::then to Dave, gives him a nod: Santos.
<Mark_Sulfur> *Santo, even
<Dave_Santo> ((<Dave> Jealous? <Mark>… ¬¬ Yes you are… at least my red hair is natural <Dave>… >_< You win this round!))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::DIES!!::))
<Dave_Santo> … I hope today finds you well <I hope you are ill enough to give control of MBI over to Josie>
<Mark_Sulfur> It does. ::back to reading the back of the packages::
<Dave_Santo> So how you fairing now you have your best agent back in your agentcy? I hope you know to treat Josie well
<Josie_Lyons> ((::dies!::))
<Josie_Lyons> ::sheepish look lol mun had to pop a pizza in oven::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::sighs internally:: We’re glad to have her back.
<Josie_Lyons> So… what are you looking at? iPods?
<Dave_Santo> I bet you are… someone with leadership skills as advanced as Josie’s must be in short supple… hope her position will refleact that
<Mark_Sulfur> Yeah. I figure it’s about time I got one. ::to Josie::
<Mark_Sulfur> She proved herself a while ago, Santo. I’m not worried about her.
<Josie_Lyons> Dave… ::quietly lol reaches over to give his hand a squeeze and looks at him like “it’s okay” XD::
<Dave_Santo> ::bites his lip and looks down at the hand squeezing:: Neither am I. I just believe you should be doing more to retain your best agent from going elsewhere
<Mark_Sulfur> <Count to ten… count to ten…>
<Mark_Sulfur> <1… 2….10.>
<Mark_Sulfur> Wherever she wants to go, she’ll get a top letter of recommendation from me.
<Dave_Santo> ::confused:: Wouldn’t you try to keep her?
<Josie_Lyons> ::sighs. quiet listening to these two::
<Mark_Sulfur> Of course I would, but I’m not the one who makes the decision on whether or not she wants to stay. <I did that once. I’m not doing it again.>
<Dave_Santo> Like offer her the position of Deputy Director?
<Mark_Sulfur> <Oh, so this is what it’s all about.> I haven’t made my decision yet, Santo.
<Josie_Lyons> And I’m sure he’s thinking on it well… ::whispers to Dave:: Come on, love, let’s just go… razors aren’t in this aisle anyway…
<Dave_Santo> ::wants to remark on how she is the only choice but has pushed it enough:: Just voicing an opinion, Director Sulfer ::doesn’t even know the position is free:: So you will think about it if ever your current Deputy leaves?
<Mark_Sulfur> I don’t *have* a deputy.
<Dave_Santo> ::blinks:: You mean you have an opening for a deputy?
<Mark_Sulfur> That’s what we’re interviewing for.
<Dave_Santo> ::looks at Josie… “you never told me that!”::
<Josie_Lyons> ::looks at him like “yes I did!” XD::
<Josie_Lyons> Why else do you think kats like Forge were applying too? Remember?
<Dave_Santo> … ::blushing:: Sorry, my love… Forgive my forgetful nature, I have been working a lot of nights recently so I can get the time off to move in
<Josie_Lyons> It’s alright… That’s why I told you he’d more likely give it to- ::pauses:: Nevermind. ::little embarrassed laugh::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::rolls his eyes discretedly::
<Josie_Lyons> ::takes in a bfreath then exhales. looks over at Mark:: … you should know that… if I do not recieve the position… I won’t be able to stay at the Bureau.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::gives her a blank look now::
<Josie_Lyons> It’s not an ultimatium or anything. It’s just what I feel would be best for me. And everyone else there.
<Mark_Sulfur> I still haven’t decided. Also, you may want to talk to McGrath about a new department he requested before you consider anything. He asked for you among two other agents. ::grabs up another iPod for Angela::
<Josie_Lyons> A new department?
<Dave_Santo> ::blushes… hence him moving in with her… at least he’ll still have a wage going into the house::
<Mark_Sulfur> He didn’t give me the details. Ask him next time you see him. ::he has. Just doesn’t think it’s any of Santo’s business. XD::
<Dave_Santo> ::staring… he hadn’t heard of a new department and he is in the enforcers! we are the best at knowing stuff::
<Josie_Lyons> ::lol Dave XD:: Well… suppose I will then… Did he say who I’d be reporting to? Him I assume.
<Mark_Sulfur> Him.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::grabs up a couple of Mp3 gift cards, too::
<Dave_Santo> ::stunned… YAY Mark you’ve shut him up XD::
<Josie_Lyons> Hmm… yes well… I’ll see you later then. ::turns cart ’round, hoping Dave will follow::
<Dave_Santo> ::follows and whispers:: wow
<Mark_Sulfur> ::oh, good! XD:: Yeah. ::goes to the salesperson:: Anyway we can engrave these? <Salesperson> Sure! What do you want it to say? <Mark> “Angie”
<Josie_Lyons> ::glances over at Dave, pushing the cart back towards the entrance/exit of the store:: Wow what?
<Dave_Santo> … Well first off we need to push our cart to the registers before we go to the exit josie… and secondly that other job
<Josie_Lyons> We haven’t bought anything. You’re right, we should just purchase our things as you have. ::wanting to leave lol goes out the exit:: We’ll just see what that other job’s about.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::is already outside! XD Left them to engrave the iPods and said he’d pick them back up later. Is heading to his car, which is brand new, Dave, thankyouverymuch. XD::
<Josie_Lyons> ((LOL!))
<Dave_Santo> … I wonder if I’ll ever get to meet this McGrath. Heard his name once or twice but never seen a face
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Josie> Wow Mark’s been throwin’ down some bucks! Like your new salary don’tcha? XD))
<Josie_Lyons> He’s rather elusive… comes and goes. He’s a good agent though. He was in my employ for awhile.
<Dave_Santo> ::>3 Oh so that’s the one I had ticked? You really need to learnt how to park::
<Dave_Santo> … so long as he respects you I do not mind him then ::smiles::
<Josie_Lyons> It’s hard to tell what that one feels about anybody. ::sees Mark getting into new vehicle, a row over from where she parked::
<Mark_Sulfur> ((<Dave> ::dryly:: Do tell. ::as Josie stares googly-eyed at Mark::))
<Dave_Santo> ((<MArk> ::the next day finds arrows in all 5 tires::
<Josie_Lyons> ((:;dies both!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((:DEAD!!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((<Mark> Do I have to spell it out for you?! ::to Dave:: I. Am. No. Longer. Attracted. To. Josie. <Dave> I know. I just like to tick you off. <Mark> ::fume::))
<Dave_Santo> ((<Dave> But stop being so attactive to Josie… she can’t take her eyes off you¬¬))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((<Mark> What do you want me to do? Shave my fur off? Chop off my hair? Gain weight? <Dave> Its’ a start. <Mark> …))
<Josie_Lyons> ((::rollin’!::))
<Josie_Lyons> ::will get in her car unless Dave has more to say at Mark XD::
<Dave_Santo> ::blinks as he sees Marks vechial… smiles:: Now I’m glad I spotted that car parked on the line…
<Josie_Lyons> Hmm?
<Dave_Santo> ::loads up the car:: I reported it to traffic… hopefully they’d have had a officer ticket that infraction
<Mark_Sulfur> ::I am so not parked on the line! ><::
<Josie_Lyons> His vehicle isn’t on the line.
<Dave_Santo> ::you were so.. one centermeter XDD if he hasn’t just strick it the record::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::jerk. ><*::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::starts to head out, LOL::
<Josie_Lyons> Dave… please don’t tell me you’re jealous because of him…
<Mark_Sulfur> ::then blinks when he sees something on his windshield. turns off the car and gets out to see it::
<Dave_Santo> I didn’t know that was his car at the time! ::gets in:: All I saw was a car over the line
<Josie_Lyons> ::gets in her car as well:: I don’t mean that… just… your attitude and all. ::buckles up and checks mirrors etc. before starting engine.::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::feels his eye starting to twitch when he sees it’s a parking ticket. Holds back from shooting a glare at Dave. Sighs and gets in and drives off to pay it off;:
<Dave_Santo> ::not noticing the glare::… Josie, why would I feel jealous or threatened by Mark?
<Mark_Sulfur> ::reminds self not to bring Dave home the next time he sees him drunk. Ingrate. XD::
<Josie_Lyons> I don’t know, you tell me. ::pulls on out of the lot, going out the same way Mark has::
<Dave_Santo> ::sighs and rolls his eyes:: I have no reason to be… I don’t. That wouldn’t be logical
<Mark_Sulfur> ::is on his way to Enforcer HQ, yes;:
<Josie_Lyons> Good. So next time we happen to run into him… you won’t go bringing up issues at work, right?
<Dave_Santo> Why do we wish to bring up anything with that tom?
<Josie_Lyons> We don’t, er rather I don’t. ::sighs:: Just tell me where the places are you normally shop so we can get this done?
<Dave_Santo> ::rattles off some places the mun has no idea where::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::pays the dang parking ticket. Grr. XD Heads back to the Bureau::
<Josie_Lyons> ::lol poor Mark XD::

<Dave_Santo> <Tran> ::walks over… not “she” is bare foot as Tran can’t manage heels yet:: Did you bring more eggs, Master? ::blinks:: Is something wrong?

<Dave_Santo> <Tran> ::blinks:: Yes Master Sulfur?…
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Mark> Yer creepin’ me out man. Not cool.))
<Mark_Sulfur> Why… how did you…?
<Dave_Santo> ((::dies!::))
<Dave_Santo> <Tran> ::vacant look:: Master? Are you alright? ::goes to feel his forehead:: Hmmm let me take you too the medical bay so you can lay down… ::clodblooded still so you’d feel warm to him X3::
<Mark_Sulfur> No, no. I’m fine. I… why are you dressed like agent Lyons?
<Mark_Sulfur> No. WHY are you agent Lyons?
<Dave_Santo> <Tran>… ::tries to pull him along never the less::… Am I? ::blinks and looks at his hands:: Oh… It’s happened again… I touched Mistress Agent Lyons last week and well… I have get bio genetic imprint inside me now… ::eyes widen and slowly morphs into mark after touching him and blinks:: I can revert to my old form when I relax or need eggs
<Mark_Sulfur> ::stares at… himself;: Er… right.

<Dave_Santo> <Tran that -_->
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::DIES!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> Well, I did bring more eggs. They’re in the kitchen.
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Mark> Control your temper against me? Yeah I know. I don’t know however if time will help. -_-; ))

<Hans_Lynx> Uh… hello? ::sees Mark going in after Tran? XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::yes:: He’s got issues. ::to Lynx:: And, if you even mention to anybody that I was skipping, so help me… ::half kidding::
<Hans_Lynx> ::laughs at that:: Oh wow… then is that… Tran? ::with the “master” title he gives::
<Tran> ::morphs back into tran as he’s energy is low:: Affrimative Master ::eats some eggs::
<Hans_Lynx> I didn’t know you could do that. ::looks to Mark:: Did you know he could do that?
<Mark_Sulfur> Not until ten minutes ago. ::beat, picks up his phone:: Hello? ::listens:: No, no. It’s “Angie”, not “Andy.” Yes, with a g. ::beat:: Great. Thank you. ::hangs up::
<Tran> ::smiles at hans:: I can also transform into Mistress Agent Lyons without knowing it it seems
<Hans_Lynx> Uh… I’d rather you look like Mark. ::grins. then sits down at a table with some coffee:: What was that about?
<Mark_Sulfur> ::sits with his coffee:: I was getting an iPod engraved.

<Mark_Sulfur> ::gives him a look:: You know who she is.
<Tran> ::looks at mark….:: iPod? Like a chemical sleep tube?
<Hans_Lynx> THAT Angie? ::laughs:: Go Mark!
<Tran> … Who is this new master or mistress?
<Mark_Sulfur> It’s only a birthday gift.
<Hans_Lynx> An iPod is a music listening device, Tran. And this Angie is Mark’s girlfriend. ::chuckles::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::blushes, but isn’t denying it::
<Tran> ::blinks and beams:: You are starting a courtship? YAY! ::goes to hug Mark as Josie… has more energy and likes trying out his new power:: So come the spring you will have kittens? Please bring them in after the stork comes ::has some confused views ¬¬::

<Tran> … But isn’t it part of when a tom and a shekat love each other? ::looks to Hans:: You do not love Mistress Agent Tasha?
<Hans_Lynx> I do love her, why else would we be married? I just… don’t want kittens yet.
<Tran> … I am confused
<Hans_Lynx> About what?
<Mark_Sulfur> I’m gonna leave you to answer that one, Lynx. :::hawhaw! Make fun of me, will ya? Gets up and heads to his office to finish a letter::
<Hans_Lynx> ::nuuuuuu! XD don’t make me have the facts of life talk with Tran! XD::
<Tran> That’s what all my shows say… when a tom and an shekat love each other so much, they get married and have kittens… ::ever get the feeling a lot of the chanelles have be locked since Tran started at MBI::
<Hans_Lynx> Eh heh… well your shows don’t all give a time table do they? We’ll have them eventually, Tran.
<Tran> … but they are married and have their kitts in under 30 minutes
<Hans_Lynx> Televison isn’t real though. It takes longer than that in real life.
<Tran> … ::blinks:: But The News is real…. and Captain Kat ::beams morphing into Hans as he is still hugging::
<Hans_Lynx> RPG PAWZERS as Hans explains the difference between reality and television with… himself. ;D
