<Dream_Creeper> (((MUAH-HAHAHAH!))
* Countrykat is now known as Tessie_Reed
<Mark_Sulfur> ::is in his office… seriously, where else WOULD he be? XD Tho’ is about to call it quits as he’s set on going home to bed::
<Tessie_Reed> ::will come on to the MBI!  Getting out of the house for a bit! figures it safe!::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::is at her desk, a rather sorry sight. The fur on her hands is still limp and discolored, one of her wrists is in that brace-thingy one wears for a sprain, and the other is bandaged where Pasty clawed it::
<Dream_Creeper> ::had been following Tessie for a few blocks…he hadn’t seen her in a while and yes, even though he is a baddie, he does like her…moving invisible through the shadows.::
<Tessie_Reed> ::goes on into the MBI!  going in and going in search of people! will note LS in the deskroom so steps in there:: hello, Agent Selkirk!
* McGrath has joined
* ChanServ sets mode: +o McGrath
<Mark_Sulfur> ::flips through his agents’ reports::
<Mark_Sulfur> ((Hey Matt!))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::looks up from her paperwork, smiles:: Hey Tessie. ::raises her bandaged hand::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Hey Matt))
<Tessie_Reed> ((hey Matt!))
<McGrath> ((Heyas, got into San Francisco a little later than expected. I need to take a nap ))
<Tessie_Reed> ::Frowns:: What has happened to your hand?
<Tessie_Reed> ((go to bed man! lol!  Get some sleep so you can enjoy your trip!))
<Mark_Sulfur> (I was wondering if that’s where you were. ;D Go take a nap, man! Sleep!))
<Dream_Creeper> ::watches her from the window the lights are too bright for him toenter and there aern’t many shadows…so he watches from there to see where she will go.::
<McGrath> ((Nights. I’ll see if I can stop in tomorrow))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::wry chuckle:: A couple of things happened. Don’t worry, I’ll heal.
* McGrath has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Mark_Sulfur> ((<Matt> Sleep? I don’t need no stinkinsklhfoaivgsdjgiarkgagksdgksjd… <RPG> Matt…? O_o <Matt> Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((Maw. missed him!))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((lol))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Tessie_Reed> Are you certain?  I can attempt to heal you if you wish.
Mark_Sulfur has quit IRC (Quit: I got a postcard from my brain today. It said it’s having a wonderful time.)
<Tessie_Reed> ((whu oh! I think her net just died…lol! ::as she noted she dropped outta AIM at the same time))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::blinks, hadn’t thought of that:: . . . Actually, that might be worth a try. Do you think you could heal a sprained wrist? ::shows it::
<Tessie_Reed> I can try to.  I would need to merge with you though. ::Creeper can finally see her merge with another kat. lol!::
<Dream_Creeper> ::watches them, but can’t understand a thing that is being said::
<Shades> ((I wanted to partake tonight, but it’s too dang cold and i’m tired. I’ll see you folks later <3 ))
Shades has quit IRC (Quit: )
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::trusts Tessie, so nods:: That’s fine. Maybe you can just sort of examine it, to see if you think it will work. It’s only that wrist that’s really giving me any trouble; I can wait for the rest to heal on its own.
<Tessie_Reed> ((mawww missed her))
Mark_Sulfur has joined
<Tessie_Reed> ::nods:: Very well. ::will go acoherant then merge with her!  concentrating on the wrist for her to heal it!::
<Tessie_Reed> ((WB!))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((HOW do I do that? HOW do I type fast enough to restart my computer when I hit that stupid Windows logo button? ><))
<Dream_Creeper> ((LOL))
<Tessie_Reed> ((lol! I’ve done that before. And closed stuff out))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Wb!))
<Dream_Creeper> ((You need a Mac…no winows button))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Yes, come to the Macintosh Sisterhood!))
<Dream_Creeper> ((SNORKS…yes, come to the dark side))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((I WANT to get into the Macintosh sisterhood. I just need… $2000. ;_; ::clings to her iPod witha sob::))
<Dream_Creeper> ::eyes squint a bit watching this:: What is she doing?
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ::walks out of his office and heading to file stuff in the archives::
<StormcrowSelkirk> <This feels . . . weird.> ::wonders if it’s anything like when she takes people with her teleporting::
* StormcrowSelkirk sets mode: +o Mark_Sulfur
<Mark_Sulfur> ::yawns some to himself:: ((And… Shadesmun go to bed?))
<Dream_Creeper> ((::nods::))
<Tessie_Reed> ::feels like another presence in there and prolly a bit tingly as she works on her wrist! once she’s got it healed will zappy out of her! going solid again::  There. Is that better?
<Tessie_Reed> ((yeps!))
<Dream_Creeper> ::Smirks:: <I wonder if that’s what she calls merging>
<StormcrowSelkirk> Let’s see. ::undoes the brace thingy, flexes her hand a little. Beams:: I think so! The swelling’s gone, and it’s not stiff or hurting anymore.
<Mark_Sulfur> ((Drat. Missed her. ::beats stupid windows button. XD::))
<Mark_Sulfur> That the sound of happiness I hear? ::smirking::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::as he walks to where they are::
<Tessie_Reed> wonderful! ::smiles, then looks over her shoulder:: Hello, Director Sulfur! ::smile smile::
<Dream_Creeper> ::duck for a sec seeing her turn to the other kat that just walked in the room.::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::looks up to Mark as he comes in:: Definitely. I don’t have to wait six weeks for my sprained wrist to heal now. ::shows her healed hand::
<Mark_Sulfur> You’re gonna leave our call in doctor without a job. ::to Tessie, grinning::
<Tessie_Reed> ::blinks:: oh! I am sorry! I just wished to help her. ::lol! is way too nice.::
<StormcrowSelkirk> He’s kidding, Tessie, don’t worry. Besides, I’m still letting my cuts and bruises heal naturally.
<Tessie_Reed> <Lights>::will start to flicker because this mun wants to see some creeper action!  power goes out! bwhahahahaa! won’t be completely dark but way darker than it was!::
<Mark_Sulfur> I’m kidding. That was a sweet thing to do.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::looks up in surprise as the power goes out:: Huh? This is odd.
<Dream_Creeper> ::Looks around seeing the lights flicker out… but waits to go in…he don’t want to jump in and the light come back on on him.
<Dream_Creeper> ::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::frowns:: Must be a short… Back up generator’ll kick in, tho’.
<Tessie_Reed> <Power Company>::can be seen working down the road!  are doing some work on the lines so will be out for a bit::
<Tessie_Reed> Oh…::then looks around as the power goes out:: <Generator>::will kick on but won’t bring the power back on to everything! mostly just emergency and primary system stuff.  ::
<StormcrowSelkirk> That’s good to hear. I wonder if it’s just us, or a block thing? ::goes to the window to see, spies the power company folks:: Oh dear. Looks like this might keep up for a while.
<Mark_Sulfur> This’ll make people in the graveyard shift happy.
<Dream_Creeper> ::back up generators come on,…. he turns into shadow and seeps through a crack in this window and too the shadows…. waiting for Tessie to be alone…. he doesn’t want trouble, unless he really has to get it X3  ….which of course we all know he’s going to get it.::
<Tessie_Reed> I will go check on the computers in the lab to make sure they are not affected.  ::smiles, turning to go do so!::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::nods;: Good plan.
<Mark_Sulfur> ((BRB))
<Dream_Creeper> :: And follows tessie…his clothes may make some noise as he walks by invisible to some kats.::
<Tessie_Reed> ::goes on to the lab quickly! checking all the computers. glad the backup batteries worked and starts shutting them down! leaving only a couple to run just in case::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::nods to Tessie::
<Tessie_Reed> ((WB!))
<Dream_Creeper> ::materializes behind her and taps her shoulder and whispers…:: …tessie.
<Tessie_Reed> ::jumps! yelping a bit as she spins around! then eyes widen! quietly:: Conner? What are you doing here?
<Dream_Creeper> ::puts his finger to his mouth.:: Shh, I  hadn’t seen you lately.
<Tessie_Reed> Oh well…yeah..I…have had a lot going on… ::quietly::
<Dream_Creeper> Like what? I didn’t know you were part of the MBI.  ::Is kinda not happy about that fact::
<Mark_Sulfur> Coulda sworn they’dve said something if they were gonna do electricity work.
<Tessie_Reed> Oh I..help out here some. I tried for a job but with all the mess with the former Deputy Mayor coming out that she was a cyberkat, I have been hiding.  I do not think anyone suspects there are more of us, but I am playing it safe..::doesn’t want to tell him her dad said no more seeing him. lol!::
* Felony has joined
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Felony
<StormcrowSelkirk> Yeah, they really should have warned us. Maybe it came up suddenly?
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Lo!))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((Heys!))
<Dream_Creeper> :: gives her a funny look from under his hood::  You… ain’t told anyone ’bout me…have you?
<Felony> ((yo! XD cheesy horror movie time here tonight. -g- ::doesn’t get what PK likes ’bout those. least was good for making fun and a really young Tom Hanks was in it for like… ten minutes. XD::))
<Tessie_Reed> ((LOL! Hey girl!))
<Tessie_Reed> ::Frowns:: I…told my dad about you…That is all though. I promise.
* Felony is now known as Dr_Greenbox
<Dream_Creeper> ::eyes widen a bit.:: ….Like what exactly did you say?  ::Doesn’t want his cover blown…she knows his name after all.::
<Tessie_Reed> ((We’s at the bureau, Fel fel! had a power outtage and creeper and Tess in the compy lab talking, Mark and LS in the deskroom!))
<Mark_Sulfur> Probably… :frowning::
<Tessie_Reed> I…told him about you.  I did not tell him your name, just…about you. ::nervous now:: He…does not want me to see you anymore.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::doesn’t feel too happy about it either, knows things around here rarely have mundane causes::
<Dream_Creeper> Oh doesn’t he now?  ::smirks:: And you gonna do what daddy says?
<Dr_Greenbox> ((thankies!))
<Tessie_Reed> I have to.  I respect his wishes.  He is my dad. I am sorry, Conner. I wish it was not this way.  He says you are a bad kat and just does not want me around you.
<Dream_Creeper> ::steps foward.:: Don’t say my name again…. it’s Dream Creeper to you.  ::snarls.::
<Dr_Greenbox> <Hans> ::whistles as he comes into the Bureau to sign in. notes the power’s out and no one at the desk:: <Hertz must be off duty again… Tansy probably still resting…> ::not liking this though with snotty man runnin’ around. cautiously goes down the hallway, heading to the breakroom. peeks in and doesn’t see anyone.  then goes to deskroom to peek in::
<Tessie_Reed> ::steps back:: Please, calm down.  Maybe if he met you? He would calm down and feel better about this.  Do not be angry with me.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::is leaning against the main desk talking to Selkirk, then notes Hans:: Hey.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::is by the window, looking out at the power company guys repairing the lines:: Hey. The party’s in here.
<Dr_Greenbox> <Hans> What’s going on? ::goes in deskroom now:: Why’s the power out?
<Dream_Creeper> ::smirks:: No, daddy, isn’t gonna meet me… heh, is I had a daughter?….. I wouldn’t let her see me EITHER!   ::pushes over a computer…having a bit of a fit.::
<StormcrowSelkirk> Something must have damaged the lines. They’re out there repairing them now. ::nods to the window::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::blinks, hears something turn over:; Tessie? you okay in there?
<Tessie_Reed> ::jumps, yelping a bit:: Please, Conner. Calm down.  Give him time. I am sure he will understand later.  But these actions do not help you any.  You need to be a good tom.  So daddy will like you. ::lol! so much for changing him to good! Like she stood a chance of that anyway. XD::
<Dr_Greenbox> <Hans>::goes and looks out the window to see::
<Tessie_Reed> ::Calls back out:: I am fine!  ::so they don’t come in there!::
<Dr_Greenbox> ::when are you gals gonna learn you can’t change yer toms XD::
<Tessie_Reed> ::when we stop falling for the wrong ones. the evil ones. XD::
<Dr_Greenbox> <Hans> Sure it’s not Globbybutt?
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::or the crazy ones. Or the ones with split personalities. XD::
<Dr_Greenbox> <Hans> ::notes the repairkats out there working if they be thar::
<Dr_Greenbox> ((LOL!!))
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> ::hey, mine was turning for good and I made it permanent… cuz’ I said so, right honey? remember, you lost the “boss of my house” status after we got married. XD::
<StormcrowSelkirk> . . . Globbybutt? ::hasn’t really heard all about Globby yet::
<Mark_Sulfur> Better not be. ::heads over there::
<Dr_Greenbox> ((<Storm> Oh Ivan… I knew ye well.  Or one fourth of you anyway.))
<Tessie_Reed> <Joe> ::yes dear. whatever you say dear. XD::
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Dream_Creeper> ::growls:: Dream Creepr! Conner is dead!  He’s been dead for years.  And no, I’ll never be a good tom…. I like what I am, what I do.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*diead*))
<Dr_Greenbox> <Hans> Globulous. ::turns to Storm:: You not been updated?
<StormcrowSelkirk> Not really, I’m afraid. Things have been coming up pretty fast.
<Tessie_Reed> No, he is not dead.  You just think he is dead. He is still in there. You just have to choose to be him and not this Dream Creeper person…
<Mark_Sulfur> Tessie? ::walking in there::
<Dr_Greenbox> ((<Dr. Viper> I know how you feel… Dr. Zzzzyme took forever to ssssay my new cool aliassss… I mean really, ‘Purivssss’?  My parents wanted me to be picked on sssso much of my youth.))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*DIES*))
<Dr_Greenbox> ((<Dr. Viper> Elrod Purvissss… that combination didn’t help me.  Couldn’t it have beenBob Purvisss instead?  Or John? ))
<StormcrowSelkirk> (( X) ))
<Dream_Creeper> ::rgins:: …right, why didn’t I ever think of that? Just drop this Dream Creeper….when every day he stares back at me in the mirror. ::turns to see Mark and hisses::
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Tessie_Reed> ::Frowning:: Still..::then turns to see Mark:: Sorry, Director Sulfur. It is okay.  He is a friend….
<Mark_Sulfur> ::eyes wide:: What th’…? ::reaches into the back of his pants for his gun::
<Dream_Creeper> ::GRins::  No….I am not a friend.  ::grabs for his sand bag.::
<Tessie_Reed> ::eyes wide:: Creeper! no! ::will try and tackle him down!::  Mark! Leave! Please!!
* Dr_Greenbox is now known as Hans_Lynx
<Mark_Sulfur> Who is…?!
<Hans_Lynx> ::looks to Stormcrow curiously hearingin the next room like “you know what’s goin’ on?”::
<Hans_Lynx> ((hearing in^))
<Dream_Creeper> ::Is grabbed and imediately goes invisible, along with Tessie….. will try and werstle her off, knocking over computers and such.  If she is flung off she will appear visible again.::   OFF OF ME, NOW!  I will not hold back on you anymore!
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::looks back worriedly:: I think we should investigate. Now.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::tries to tackle Creeper himself::
<Tessie_Reed> ::is flung off!  reappearing after dissappearing!  frowning:: Do not make me harm you, Creeper…please. ::holding up a ball of electricity in her hand::
<Hans_Lynx> ::nods and goes with Stormcrow into the computer room::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::on the scene we appear!::
<Dream_Creeper> ::Appears behind Mark, will wraping arm around his neck if possible….and holds a hand full of dust in his hand.:: GO ON HIT ME!  ::cackles::
<Hans_Lynx> ::grrrs taking in the scene with whoever this guy is! whips out his firearm:: Let him go!
<Tessie_Reed> ::its a standoff! watching Creeper!:: Let him go, Creeper.  This is not necessary.  I will do whatever you wish if you will just let him go…::Doesn’t want Mark hurt::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::holds a fireball in her now-healed hand::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::growling, struggling:: What are you?! ::trying to pull his arm off::
<Dream_Creeper> ::watches them gather around him with weapons… tosses the dust in Marks face::  You won’t shoot your own.   ::DC disappears into the shadows….Mark goes to night night….wasn’t Mark under his sleep spell the last time?::
<Tessie_Reed> ::Eyes widen:: Creeper! Stop it!  Do not do this! ::trying to get a fix on where he’s at now that he’s in the shadows!::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::nopes, he wasn’t. XD This is the first time. Falls over, sleepy bye bye. XD::
<Dream_Creeper> <DC Mark> :;draws his guns and points them at his own partners…. eyes looked glazed over.::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::gaping, has a ‘what the heck is going on?!’ face big-time::
<Dream_Creeper> <DC in Marks head> Oh Marky Mark…..  ::singing:: What do you like to dream about?
<Hans_Lynx> Creeper? ::glances at Tessie then sees Mark fall over:: Director! ::hurries over and kneels next to Mark, checking him over::
<Hans_Lynx> ::nope it was me XD under your sleep spell last time XD::
<Tessie_Reed> ::Runs over to Hans and will try and pull him back!:: no! get away from him! He is not himself now…::Frowning::
<StormcrowSelkirk> What . . . what just happened?
<Mark_Sulfur> <What’s… going on?>
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::looks to Hans and Tessie as they seem to know what this is about::
<Hans_Lynx> ::being tugged:: What are you talking about? ::tries to shrug her off. is as clueless as you Stormcrow! cuz mun don’t think Hans was able to remember d00d/didn’t see him::
<Dream_Creeper> ((Mark is aiming his guns at everyone and Creeper is in Marks head…sorry to confuse <:3))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((Oh! Nevermind.XD))
<Hans_Lynx> ((LOL! I missed that line too XD))
<Mark_Sulfur> ::is completely oblivious to everything::
<Hans_Lynx> ::seeing Mark standing with guns aimed:: Director…?  Mark…? ::getting in front of deh weeminz! XD::
<Tessie_Reed> ::is shrugged off! stepping back as Mark draws his gun:: He is not himself….Dream Creeper is controlling him now…::keeping an eye on Mark:: Creeper please…stop this at once.  We can talk about it. Just you and me. I can make these kats go away if you will give me a chance…
<Dream_Creeper> <DC in Marks head> ::Creeper talking in Marks head as he sleeps::  Where are you hiding Mark?
<StormcrowSelkirk> Um, any chance you could tell me who Dream Creeper is?
<Mark_Sulfur> <Who goes there?!>
<Tessie_Reed> He is like your mythical sandman. He carries sand and it puts kats to sleep. He can then control their minds and bodies.  He can also get into your dreams and turn them to nightmares.
<Dream_Creeper> <DC Mark>  ::Creeper talks through Mark to Tessie::  No talking…. Comeon… aren’t you gonna hit me with that ball of light now?
<StormcrowSelkirk> :;still holding her fireball in one hand, though has made it smaller::
<Hans_Lynx> And just how is it you know him, Tess?
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::low hiss through her teeth:: <Not good.>
<Dream_Creeper> <DC in Marks head> ::Pops up in from of Mark as a dark figure:: What are your fears?
<Tessie_Reed> We…were friends. ::frowning at Mark:: I am not. ::reabsorbs the energy ball::  This is no reason to get this upset. We can seriously do something else. You and I can go away somewhere and talk.
<Mark_Sulfur> :;eyes wide, backing up some:: My… fears?
<Hans_Lynx> Or how about you just leave our Director alone and go away. ::talking to DCed Mark XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::fears include failing his agents, losing his friends, the Bureau being shut down, Josie dying… wait. You didn’t see that last one! NO!::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::still scared and unsure of this new foe, so stays quiet for now, holding her fireball close::
<Dream_Creeper> <DC MARK> ::smirks and pointing his gun at each of them.:: Oh…but what would be the fun in that, Tessie? Hmm? I told you…I enjoy scaring people.
<Hans_Lynx> ((::snorks! read that as “holding her furball close” lol <Storm>::flings a wet soggy furball at Mark:: <furball> >FLAP< ::on his face:: <DC> Well that’s new.))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::notes the positioning of the gun, begins to get an idea::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL!))
<Tessie_Reed> Well you have done that. You have scared us all.  Now release Director Sulfur.
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Hans_Lynx> ::Mark just have the one gun?::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::just one, yes. XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> ((DEAD!!))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::lets her fireball go out quietly, stays ducked behind Hans for the moment::
<Dream_Creeper> <DC In Marks head> :: turns into a vision of Josie….Ohhhh…you let me see that one….  ::grins….and goes to Mark::  Mark? Sweatheart… what’s bothering you?
<Hans_Lynx> ::quietly to Storm:: Stormcrow… hit a sprinkler head…
<Mark_Sulfur> ::shakes his head, backing up, eyes closed:: You’re not real…
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::just as quietly:: What will that do?
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::doesn’t want to douse Tessie in case her powers are needed::
<Hans_Lynx> ((<Mark> She never called me Sweetheart.  She always called me “Hippie” or “Tree Hugger” or when in a good mood “Not half bad”))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*dies*))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((DEADDEAD!!!))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Hans_Lynx> Think about what it’ll wash off… ::quietly, nodding to Mark::
<Dream_Creeper> <DC Mark>  I don’t know.. make me happy?  ::still grinning, but doesn’t really know what his plan is…just being mean I guess.::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((On a completely unrelated note, did you do anything to your photobucket account, Felmun? I were going through some of the art links in the logs, and they seem to be gone.))
<Dream_Creeper> <DC in Marks Head> ::  stops and makes a pout face.:: Why would you say that?
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::gets his point:: True. ::looks up at the sprinkler, and with a finger-flick sends a tiny fireball at it!::
<Hans_Lynx> ((my photobucket’s still there, some links may’ve changed or I deleted somethin’. ::will AIM p-word::))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Ah, thankee!))
<Hans_Lynx> ((or PM it anyway lol))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Even better :) ))
<Mark_Sulfur> No… you’re with Dave now… we’re not together.
<Hans_Lynx> ((<Fel> Hey, being a jerk is a plan all on it’s own! <Prot> That’s right.  Many a day I’ve pestered the Megs just for the heck of it.  <Jenna> They call it a “plot” but we call it just plain fun! ^-^))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIES!:::))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*dies*!))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::DIES!::))
<Dream_Creeper> <DC in Marks head> ::throws himself at Mark and crying in tears.:: He died last night! Someone…murdered him.
<StormcrowSelkirk> <Tiny Fireball> ::may or may not be seen as it goes flicking upward through the air to the sprinkler::
<Hans_Lynx> <sprinklers> ::get the heat! activate as mun assumes the backup power is on for ‘em to do so?::
<Tessie_Reed> ::backup power is on!  yelps loudly as they coem on and drench her! does NOT like getting wet. lol! cowering down some once they come on::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::not too keen on being drenched either. Hopes this will work::
<Mark_Sulfur> :eyes wide:: Wh…what? ::telling himself he shouldn’t comfort her. This is a dream! Right…?:: I…
<Dream_Creeper> <DC Mark> ::The water sprinklers go off… Mark looks up and the laughes.::   Idiots! The sand is in his lungs….the water ain’t gonna watch it off.
<Dream_Creeper> ((wash))
<Hans_Lynx> Sorry Tess! ::as the sprinklers come on he moves forward to the laughing Mark to try and knock the gun outta his hand::
<StormcrowSelkirk> <I guess it’s back to the original plan.> Well, you can’t blame us for trying. ::as Mark looks up, teleports whippity-quick to his side, and goes for the gun::
<Dream_Creeper> <DC in Marks head.>  Who would had done something like that?! Mark?  I’m so afraid.  ::holds him::
<Tessie_Reed> ((<Hans> oh…::goes to hold Mark underwater:: Breath it in!! <Mark> X_X ::bubblebubble:))
<Hans_Lynx> ((::DEAD::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::DEADDEAD!!::))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::hah, great minds with but a single thought!::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL!))
<Mark_Sulfur> Josie… I…
<Mark_Sulfur> ::hugs her gently::
<Hans_Lynx> ::XD hopefully one of us can get the gun XD if LS succeeds, Hans tries to tackle Mark down. XD::
<Tessie_Reed> ::gasping as she will try and duck out of the room and out of the sprinklers. is useless anyway being drenched::
<Dream_Creeper> <DC MARK> ::Whips around around and punches Hans.::  He can’t even see you coming at him…. cackles!
<Hans_Lynx> Oof! ::punched back! slams against compy terminal::
<Dream_Creeper> <DC in Marks Head> ::Josie begins to make a choke noisy, blood comes from her mouth. She looks at her belly, she’d been stabbed….Marks holds a knife with bloody hands as Josie backs away.::  …..why?
<Hans_Lynx> Tess! ::looks towards the door:: How do you stop him?!
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::and I? Sees Hans punched, grapples for the gun::
<Dream_Creeper> <DC MARK> ::Kicks at Stormcrow… and punches at Hans again….  lots and lots of lights…that can stop him X3::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::eyes wide:: Wh… wha…::looks down at his hands, then at the knife:: No.. I… NO! ::throws the knife aside and runs to grab Josie inna hug:: No… I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…
<Hans_Lynx> ::Did LS get Mark’s gun away?::
<Dream_Creeper> ((Oh!   YES! XD))
<Tessie_Reed> you have to find him! Lights! Get a flashlight and find him! It will blind him!
<Hans_Lynx> ::lol makin’ sure since he punchin’ and kickin’ now and not going bangy bang bang XDDD rar! tries to punch back at Mark:: Sorry Mark…
<Hans_Lynx> Lights? ::mrrr. needs to get him outta this wet room so Sparky and Flamey here can dry off and power up::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::has the gun, then! kick-shoves it into an out of the way corner and tries to help Hans with DCMark, then hears Tessie:: Can you do that? We’re a little busy here!
<Mark_Sulfur> ((<Mark> ::punched!, wakes up, sees Hans:: You’re fired. X_X))
<Dream_Creeper> <DC MARK> ::Screams…..for telling them his weakness::  Tessie!!!!   ::punching, kicking, biting.::
<Hans_Lynx> ((::dead!::))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*dies*))
<Dream_Creeper> <DC IN Marks head>  ::josie goes limp   other MBI members look at him in horror::
<Tessie_Reed> ::frowns, running down the hall to a supply room! will return with a flashlight, frowning still:: Forgive me, Creeper.  You have to stop somehow though…::will shine a light in there to try and find where he is and blind him::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::tries to hold DCMark’s head in place to help::
<Dream_Creeper> <DC Mark> ::goes limp::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::clings to her, is crying, teeth gritted:: This isn’t me… I’d never… I wanted to protect you…

<Tessie_Reed> Creeper no! ::running for the window to see where he lands::
<StormcrowSelkirk> Tessie . . . ::not sure how to finish that, doesn’t follow her::
<Dream_Creeper> ::lands and takes off running….. his black blood from the glass cutting him, has dripped on the ground and in a moment of secods, it turns to black sand.::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::wringing out her hair::
<Hans_Lynx> Tessie.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::holds his head, murmuring:: She died… I killed her… she died… I killed her… I failed everybody…
<Tessie_Reed> ::not looking at them just yet:: You should get him somewhere to rest.  ::meaning Mark there. lol! Poor guy::
<Dream_Creeper> ::Goes back to his hide out… places the gun on the top of his computer…sits in his desk chair and slams his head into the desk…all emo now and grumbles.:: ….that…did not go as planned.
<Hans_Lynx> I’ll take him to the infirmary.  ::tries to help Mark to stand::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::helps Hans with that:: I’ll clean up in here.

<Hans_Lynx> ::walks with him to infirmary!:: It wasn’t real… ::hearing Mark’s murmuring:: Nobody died, you didn’t kill or fail anyone, okay?
<Hans_Lynx> ::with LS’s assistance too!::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::was just helping with the standing, lets Hans do the rest of the escorting. Goes to fetch a mop and bucket, towels of various sorts, and a dustpan and packing tape. Brings this load back into the computer room::

* Dream_Creeper has quit IRC (Quit: Quitting!)
<Hans_Lynx> You… had a nightmare about killing Josie?
<Mark_Sulfur> I… I didn’tmean to…
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::walks in just in time to hear Hans say that::
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> You’re back early from ::whereitwasyousaidyou’dbe XD::
<Tessie_Reed> Yes well…things did not go as planned.  ::Stopping in to see him. lol! i’m dripping on the carpet. XD::
<Hans_Lynx> Hey… hey hey. ::tries to have Mark look at him:: It’s okay, just a nightmare that… guy made you halucinate, Mark.  Josie is fine, you didn’t kill her.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::just listens quietly for now::
<Hans_Lynx> ::looks over to Storm:: You able to maybe light up some candles here or something maybe, Stormcrow?
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> ::comes out of dining room with hand fulla wires. blinks:: Tessie!  You’re soaking wet! ::sets wires aside and goes over to her:: What happened?
<StormcrowSelkirk> I could. Do we have any candles in stock?
<Hans_Lynx> Probably.  If not flashlights maybe.  Get more light in here.
<Tessie_Reed> Long story. ::Sad looking:: I want to get dried off and changed…
<Mark_Sulfur> ::blinks, rubs at his eyes::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::nods:: A good idea. ::shudders as she looks for light sources:: This is just like a story I read once.
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> ::goes and gives her wet self a hug:: Alright… want a sundae maybe?
<Hans_Lynx> Story? ::takes up a towel from cabinent nearby to put ’round Mark’s shoulders if he was able to remove his shirt::
<Tessie_Reed> No, not right now. Thank you though. ::hugs him tightly. omg! she turned down a sundae!::
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox>::returns the hug, just as tightly. rubs her back some, kisses top of her head. will let go when she pulls back. mawww. concerned greatly!::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::rubs at his face::
<StormcrowSelkirk> Mm-hm. ::roots through cabinets looking for flashlights, candles, a lantern, anything:: It was about a family who moved into a new house. The first night the kitten was alone in his room, he noticed a small shadow moving in the dark. It kept coming closer, and growing bigger, until finally he flipped on the light, and it was gone. But when he turned off the lights, the same thing would happen, so he started always slee
<StormcrowSelkirk>  with the lights on.
<Tessie_Reed> ::maww poor Greenbox. will go to her room to change into some dry PJ’s after sorta drying off as best she can. will return to the living room and sits on the couch, getting a blanket and wrapping it tightly around herself while she dries::
<Mark_Sulfur> A shadow?
<Hans_Lynx> ::noting Mark coming back to his senses. smiles a little relieved. listening to the story::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::slowly snapping out of it::
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> ::lets her do so. goes and sits next to her on the sofa:: … you want to talk about it, Tessie?
<StormcrowSelkirk> Yeah, a shadow that moved. Sometimes he thought he could see the outline of a figure, but always it kept coming toward him, and he never left the lights off long enough for it to reach him. Then, one night, there was a big thunderstorm, and the power went out. To save candles, the kitten and his parents slept in one room. Afraid of the shadow, the kitten went to sleep, but later that night, he woke up just in time to s
<StormcrowSelkirk>  last candle go out. He heard his dad scr- ::suddenly stops:: You know, now might not be the best time to tell this story.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::tail has dried some, and is now a bit poofy from fear::
<Tessie_Reed> ::sighs, biting at her lip a bit:: I guess… ::looking over at him sadly:: I saw him today, dad. I saw Dream Creeper. ::Tells him what happened at the MBI!::
<Mark_Sulfur> Oh, sure, stop in the middle of the ghost story.
<StormcrowSelkirk> Believe me, you don’t want to hear the end of this story without the lights on. I’m scared just remembering it.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::digs into the cabinet:: And, we have candles! ::holds up a box of non-dousable emergency candles::
<Hans_Lynx> … eh heh… then let’s just get some light in here. ::wont’ admit he’s creeped out XD Tasha would make fun o’ him! XD::
<Tessie_Reed> <Tasha>::why yes…yes I would! after you made fun of me!::
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> ::puts arm ’round her shoulders and listens. not liking this story:: Tessie… ::doesn’t scold her, talking in calm voice:: I told you that he was bad news… to be avoided…
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::sets the candles up at various suitable points around the room, lighting them with a touch of her finger as she goes. Soon has the room in a warm, cozy golden glow:: Okay, this should be bright enough.
<Tessie_Reed> I know. That is why I told him you did not wish for me to see him anymore.  ::leaning against him:: I am sorry, dad.
<Hans_Lynx> Thanks Stormcrow. ::smiles at her. looks at Mark:: You okay?
<Mark_Sulfur> ::sighs some:: yeah. I am.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::is now sure that this is not a good time to finish the story::
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> It’s alright, Tessie.  We all make mistakes. ::puts arms around her for a hug. is worried though, hopes this guy won’t come after her now::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((::mun was actually getting scared telling it, as mun is alone in her dark bedroom::))
<Hans_Lynx> Sorry we uh… had to hit you and all.
<Tessie_Reed> ::hugs him back tightly and omg! is starting to cry! has done it before though rarely does::
<Hans_Lynx> ((::dead! huggles LS::))
<Tessie_Reed> ((LOL!))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((:;dies, hugs!::))
<Hans_Lynx> ((<Sage> AEROKAT!! Scaring the other muns -25 points from Gryffandor!!))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((::hugs all:: Don’t let my evil shadow double drag me up to the ceiling and kill me! Protect meeee!))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL!))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::Dying!::))
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> ::holds her mawww… she his daughter now! wishes he could protect her though like a father should. lets her cry it out, rubs her back gently::
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::dies!::))
<Tessie_Reed> ::will definitly cry it out!  calming down after a few minutes, still hugging him::  I should not trust kats so easilly anymore. I just wanted a friend.  Someone to talk to and go do things with like other kats have.
<Hans_Lynx> <voice> ::from the hallway:: Hello?  Anyone here? ::would be recognizable is teh Miz Lyons XD::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::jumps! Still scared from remembering that story::
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> Now now… don’t give up on everyone just because one kat turned out bad…
<Tessie_Reed> ((<Tasha> ::Screams and clings to the ceiling:!: <Hans>::blinks:: Tasha? <Tasha> Sorry…I can handle a ghost story but a Josie in the dark is too much…))
<Hans_Lynx> GAH! Er I mean ah… :;clears throat XD:: Who wants to know? <Josie> ::gun out, wearing usual skirtsuit, black today, and NSA trench::
<Hans_Lynx> ((::DEAD::))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*dead*!))
<Mark_Sulfur> ::blinks, perks his ears to hear her after throwing his shirt back on::
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> What’s going on here?  Was it Globulous?
<Tessie_Reed> All the kats I have tried to be friends with are not friends.  The ones at the MBI do not have time much, or simply use me for my abilities.  The cyberkat I met a while back did not wish to see me anymore. And now Dream Creeper is gone too….::won’t someody loooooove me?! Mun sorry! is late and she tired and lost her miiiiiiiind!::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::tries to smooth her tail down from poofiness, not wanting Josie to see she got scared::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::sees her, then walks on over:: No, no. Everything’s fine. Just a power outtage.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::hey, it was your idea to heal my wrist, not mine ;_; ::
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> I’m sure the kats at the MBI would like to be your friend.  Perhaps after you hang around there more working there, they can get to know you better.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> Why’s the computer lab a wreck then? ::frowning, all stern look at Mark lol::
<Tessie_Reed> Director Sulfure did not approve my application.  He said it was best for me to lay low after Protocol’s exit from being Deputy Mayor.
<Mark_Sulfur> … Hertz tripped.
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> ::frowns:: … but she didn’t give you away… she said she was the only one of your kind.
<Mark_Sulfur> Set off the fire alarm too after he tried to balance himself. I sent him home before he blew the place up. ::nonchalant::
<Tessie_Reed> ::Shrugs:: it was before she said everything. when it was still a threat it could happen.  ::shakes head:: My place is here, Dad. Doing our inventions.  It is safer here.  ::small smile::
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::holsters gun and frowns:: Your lip looks a bit bloody, Mark.  And your two agents look frazzled… especially Lynx.  I can’t imagine Hertz gave him a bloody nose. <Hans> ::ack! dried blood there, realizing he needs to go and take care of his own injuries lol turns to not be seen and moves closer to where Storm is::
<StormcrowSelkirk> . . . I’m afraid that’s kind of my fault. When the power went out, I for some reason thought it would be a good idea to tell a ghost story. ::embarrassed look:: We’ve all been kind of jumpy since then.
<Mark_Sulfur> Yeah. I.. heh… sorta snuck up on Hans during the ghost story telling… ::rubs the back of his head, embarrassed::
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> But it isn’t much of a life for you… you can’t stay holed up in the apartment forever.
<Tessie_Reed> For now it is fine. Until I have some things worked out.  Until I know more about the emotions I have so I can control them better.
<Tessie_Reed> :It would be nice if I had a cyberkat to talk to that wasn’t evil rar! all my sisters are evil!! XD::
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> … fine.  I see.  If all is well then I wanted to give the Bureau something, Mark.  Is that okay?  Can we speak in your office?
<Hans_Lynx> ::issa quiet! Mark ‘n Storm are better at making up stories XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> Uh… s-sure.
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> ::they are! XD sorry I can’t make you a sibling XD::
<StormcrowSelkirk> Here, take the flashlight with you. ::picks it up and gives it to him::
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> Alright… if you say so…
<Tessie_Reed> ::yes you can! make me one! NOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOW! XD::
<Tessie_Reed> ::small smile.:: I…would not mind that sundae now…
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::turns and goes in the hall, waiting;:
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> ::chuckles and ruffles her hair a little:: Coming right up.
<Tessie_Reed> THanks dad.  ::hair is ruffled! sits there still wrapped up in her blanket! is still sorta damp::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::goes after her, towel over his shoulders::
<Hans_Lynx> ::goes over to Stormcrow. quietly to her after they go:: You alright?
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> ::gets up and makes her an extra special sundae with double her favorite ingredients.  hands it to her and a spoon.:: Anything else?
<Tessie_Reed> ::Takes:: No.  Thank you. ::smiles more, staring to eat:: Do you want some with me?
<Tessie_Reed> ((^starting))
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::walks with him to his office where a large black long case like for a weapon sits outside his door in the hall::
<StormcrowSelkirk> I think so. Wet, and pretty discombobulated, but otherwise okay. ::looks at him:: What about you? That nose looks painful.
<Hans_Lynx> <Greenbox> Nah.  Just had lunch not long ago. ::smiles and sits with her;:
<Hans_Lynx> It is… I’m sure I’ll be feeling it more later. ::wiping face off with a towel gently::
<Mark_Sulfur> This is…?
<StormcrowSelkirk> Well, if you get some ice on it now, it might not be so bad then.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> A duplicate of an Ultraviolet Laser ray canon.  LIke what I used to destroy Project Eva over a year ago.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::props the case open::
<Tessie_Reed> Okay. If you are sure.  ::digs in!::
<Hans_Lynx> ::nods:: Good idea.  ::goes over to find an ice pack:: You enjoy telling spooky camp stories or somethin’, Stormcrow?
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::shakes her head:: Not really – Bexa’s the storyteller in my family. It’s just that what’s happened tonight made me think of that particular story, and my mouth kind of ran away with it.
<Tessie_Reed> ((and I think I’m gonna turn in for the night.))
<Tessie_Reed> ((nights you guys! ::hugloafs!::))
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::pulls out the weapon, has it on her shoulder ‘n all propped up to show him:: I am hoping that this will be the best defense against Globulous.  Hard to tell as I’m unsure of his weaknesses ::no access to Protocol’s info she put in MBI database:: but he was not so good with the electrical currents I gave him so…
<StormcrowSelkirk> But, it helped back up the Director’s story.
<Hans_Lynx> ((maw night CK!))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Nights!))
* Tessie_Reed has quit IRC (Quit: <Bill> Is that LEGAL?! <Pilot> I dunno, but its fun! – Bill Engval)
<Hans_Lynx> He told that to you?
<Mark_Sulfur> ::nods:: I guess this will help.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> I hope it will… ::puts it back in its case. then looks up at him:: … I’m not stepping on your toes again by giving this to the MBI am I?
<StormcrowSelkirk> Well, he read it out of a book, but yeah. ::chuckles a bit at the memory:: Mom was *furious* when she found out that was why I was sleeping on the kitchen floor with all the lights on.
<Mark_Sulfur> Naw. We don’t have anything like this, so it’ll help.
<Hans_Lynx> :;laughs, holding pack on his face XD:: What book was that anyway?
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::smiles:: Good… because I’m not telling you how to do your job or anything, I promise. ::closes the case up::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::smiles, sits down on a cot:: I don’t remember the title. It was one of those “Scary Stories to Traumatize Your Kittens for Life”-type ones.
<Hans_Lynx> ::laughs again:: Oh boy.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::giggles:: What about you? Didn’t you read scary stories growing up?
<Hans_Lynx> Some.  Made up some too when with friends ‘n all out camping or whatever.  NOt as good as that though.
<Mark_Sulfur> I know you aren’t. ::trying not to look at her::
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> Well… since you’re recovering from… whatever happened here, I’ll let you be, Mark.  You sure you’re alright? ::puts hand on his shoulder::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::shrugs:: I think a lot of how good they are depends on where you tell them. A story about killer shadows works better when you tell it in a big shadowy building.
<Hans_Lynx> What about a guy with a hook for a hand and a pumpkin for his head?
<Mark_Sulfur> Yeah. I’m fine. ::forces a smile, dabs some at his lip:: <She’s alive. That’s all that matters.>
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::laughs:: I’ve really never found that whole pumpkin-for-a-head thing scary. I mean, give it one good kick and it’s finished.
<Hans_Lynx> Not if it becomes a head of FLAAAAME wooooooo!
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> Sure thing. ::can tell somethin’s bothering him, not sure if she should pester more XD to get it out of him:: You really should consider restricting Hertz’ access to just the lobby or something, Mark.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::chuckles:: Have you ever actually tried to set a pumpkin on fire? They define “too soggy to burn”. Now the hook for a hand, *that* I can be scared of.
<Hans_Lynx> ::laughs:: How about a plunger for a leg?
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::laughs too:: That, not so much.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::chuckles:: I’ll just put bubble wrap all over the place.
<Hans_Lynx> ::snickers and shakes his head. ow. will need pain meds in a minute -g-::  Even if it was used to clean toilets?
<Hans_Lynx> ((unstop^ not clean))
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::smiles some and pats his shoulder:: Real creative, Mark. ::shakes head and starts out of his office to go::
<StormcrowSelkirk> Hm, good point. ::considers::
<Hans_Lynx> And can suck your face off if it plunges on your head?
<StormcrowSelkirk> Ooh, now *that* is scary. I see your point.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::tight smile, then can’t help himself and pulls her into a hug::
<Hans_Lynx> Hey maybe Bexa and I can get together and write movie scripts?
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> :;caught by surprise lol eyes widen a bit but she returns the hug some:: Um… Mark…? ::worried soft tone:: You alright…? ::blushes slightly::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::chortles:: You never know. It can’t be any worse than most of the stuff they’re making nowadays.
<Hans_Lynx> Heck, some of THIS that goes on here would make for a good story…
<Mark_Sulfur> ::clings to her some, closing his eyes and just lingers for a few, then leggos after some time:: M’fine. I’m just… glad you’re alright.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::smiling:: Yeah, Bexa’s said that a lot.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::looking at him oddly lol glad the lighting is dim with only a flashlight in there so he can’t see her blushing a bit:: Why… why wouldn’t I be?  I told you… I can handle myself… ::bites bottom lip a little, looking at him curiously::
<Mark_Sulfur> I know. ::smiles:: I know.
<Hans_Lynx> He’s right y’know- oh… that reminds me… Globulous.  Another freaky guy, or more like a thing… c’mon, let’s get to the breakroom and rest a bit while they work on the electricity and I’ll brief you on him.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> Mark… ::near whisper:: what really happened here?
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::nods:: Should I blow out the candles? ::picking two up to bring into the breakroom::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::sighs, sits, and slowl tells her everything he knows happened::
<Hans_Lynx> Least the rest of these.  I’ll help. ::goes and blows out some::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::helps too, and takes a few spares along to the breakroom::
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::sits next to him there if they be in front of his desk or sits on his desk if they be behind it. listens to the tale and scowls… he even share his dream part with her?::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::yes, he does. No secrets. XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::is looking down at his hands, shaking:: You know me… I… I’d never do that… I…
<Hans_Lynx> ::goes with to the breakroom and all.sits at one of the tables after taking some asprin he got from the infirmary with some water::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::sets up the candles again, gets herself a donut for comfort food:: So . . . Globulous?
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> Mark… ::puts hands on his shoulders, looking at him:: I know you’d never kill me… I mean… heck… it was me who er… :;sighs:: it was me who nearly killed you once. ::says quietly:: You’re kind… sometimes TOO kind… but you won’t fail and you won’t ever stoop to murder. ::guilty expression at that::
<Hans_Lynx> Ugh… think this guy’s creepy?  Well Globulous is freaky too… and nasty… ::explains the ordeal with the Dragon Sword, the mysterious guy who turns out to be the goopy snotball XD that can morph and all and just all that happened concerning him::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::grimaces at the description:: Yikes . . . do we know where he comes from?
<Mark_Sulfur> I… I hope not… I… if I had to do it to protect someone else…
<Hans_Lynx> ::shakes head:: Said something about an alternate dimension or something.  Knows us all pretty well it seems.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::smiles at him:: As a last resort.  Because that’s how you are.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> You don’t have it in you to kill another in cold blood.
<StormcrowSelkirk> Oh geez. ::rubs her forehead::
<Hans_Lynx> Yeah… I know… ::sighs, drinks  m ore water:;
<StormcrowSelkirk> I think I’ve lost my appetitie. ::puts her donut down::
<Mark_Sulfur> If I had to save someone’s life… ::repeats this, louder::
<Hans_Lynx> Maw… best keep yer strength up.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::looks away from him now. tail flicks a couple times:: You’re a good leader then, Mark.
<StormcrowSelkirk> I will, I will. ::gets some water of her own::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::sighs softly:: M’sorry.
<Hans_Lynx> How long has the power been out?  Did this Creeper guy do that y’think?
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::glances at him:: For what?
<StormcrowSelkirk> I have no idea. Do you know anything about him?
<Mark_Sulfur> For… everything. Everything i’ve done, anything I did to drive you away, for doubting you… everything.
<Hans_Lynx> Notta clue.  I feel sorry for the Director though… I know what it’s like to have a nightmare that’s so real you think it was happening.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::nods:: So do I. I think most kats do, sooner or later.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> Mark… it… it isn’t your fault… not entirely that we didn’t work out…
<Hans_Lynx> That sand trick is going to be tough to deal with though.  Making the director do what he wants.
<Hans_Lynx> That was some powerful magic.
<Mark_Sulfur> Just… accept my apology for once…
<StormcrowSelkirk> Yeah, but at least Tessie told us how to use light to fight it. ::then frowns:: Tessie . . . she acted like she knew him.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> You’ve nothing to apologize for… ::XD stubborn -g-::
<Mark_Sulfur> I do, alright? Just… please.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> Fine then I accept your apology. ::lookin’ at him inna those blue eyes of his curse you! curse your blue eyes!::
<Hans_Lynx> Yeah she did. ::frowning as well:: And I wonder if it was her who let him in the Bureau.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::soft smile:: Thanks.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::small headshake:: If she did, I’m sure she didn’t mean for this to happen. She seemed really upset, and she *did* help fight him off.

<Mark_Sulfur> ::blinks, snaps out of his stupor:: Yeah. ::stands up too, rubbing the back of his neck:: And… thanks.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> Of course, anytime.  Take care alright? ::goes to the door of his office::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::nods:: We should try and get in contact with her. If he’s likely to keep being a threat, we should learn all about him we can.

<Mark_Sulfur> ((And, I better head to bed. Needa get up in five hours. X_x))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::hugs both:: Night, bebbehs!))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Nights!))
