Ringo and Tansy manage to get that monkey Spinner out of his tree and bring him in to the MBI. Through a bit of alphabet soup, Ringo gets some insight as to what’s going on with him. Angela finds the alternate Mark in her and his apartment and confronts him. Josie shows up soon after and doesn’t believe the story Angela gives her on why Mark is alive. When she is convinced, Josie decides to choose this Mark’s side and plans on helping him as it appears she prefers this version of Mark to the real one. McGrath pays Protocol a visit as it appears she’s the one who stole the dimensional transporter device from the MBI.
<Angela_Daniels> ::then was taken home by the Jason! insisted he go and rest so is at her and Mark’s place! going through some pictures and such::

<Angela_Daniels> ::Startles! letting out a scream and dropping her stuff! lol! turning quickly to see him and frowning:: what are you doing in my house?
<Dark_Mark> ::has to smirk some now: I thought this was HIS house… last I checked, he paid the rent.
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Mark> Vandalizing it. I took all the DVDs and didn’t put them back in order, left the litter box stinky, and drank from the carton of milk. <Angie> … wow that’s the best “EVIL” Mark can do? ::rolls eyes:: ))

<Dark_Mark> Just need to know – why did you do it? Try to bring him back from the dead, that is.
<Angela_Daniels> Why? I loved him. Thats why. And for whatever reason he left instructions with Jason and part of what we needed with me to do so. So we were in a way fullfilling his last wish.
<Dark_Mark> You of all people know there’s no way to bring the dead back.
<Angela_Daniels> Maybe I get tired of seeing that happen and wanted to try. Besides…YOU shouldn’t be here. He should be.
<Dark_Mark> ::shrugs:: S’the way things are, Angie. ::has to chuckle bitterly now:: You’re exactly like she was…
<Josie_Lyons> ::pulling up outside Mark’s place and heads for the door. rings doorbell::

<Josie_Lyons> Look I know you most likely do not want to speak with me, but I feel we should as I don’t know when I’d get another opportunity to.
<Dark_Mark> ::busts up:: Wow, she of all people shows up.
<Angela_Daniels> I…really wouldn’t mind talking to you but now really isn’t good for me. Maybe we can arrange lunch sometime? ::hopefull look then cringes at him::

<Angela_Daniels> Nobody. Please, Lyons just..this isn’t a good time. ::trying to hold the door shut::

<Josie_Lyons> So you’re… what from an alternate dimension? Where there’s an… “evil” :;quoty marks with fingers:: Mark?

<Angela_Daniels> ::glares at Jack:: You shut up and stay out of this.
<Angela_Daniels> and yeah…Lyons came over and well..she’s lost it even more now.
<Josie_Lyons> You said you liked my goals… my ambitions… what were they?
<Shade_Ringo> She probably thinks we set this all up.
<Josie_Lyons> <Tansy> We… tried to bring the Director back from the dead per his instruction but um… something went wrong… it isn’t him…
<Angela_Daniels> Yes well….she blames me almost completely for this. ::shakes head:: she’s nuts. ::then pauses:: Oh! And our Mark tried to make contact. Apparently he’s trying to break through and gain control of the body.
<Dark_Mark> Let’s talk, love. There’s a lot I need to tell you. We’ll take the car. ::heads to the elevator::
<Jack_Spinner> Ha! That’s great… :: smiles :: That’s just typical MBI, isn’t it? Getting in the way and making things worse. Should’ve let me finish off Lyons.
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Hertz> The director’s a zombie?! Quick! Grab the shot guns! I’ll board in the windows!

<Dark_Mark> ((BRBRQ!))
<Josie_Lyons> Yes. And are… were you Director of the MBI in your dimension?
<Josie_Lyons> ((BBQ YUMZ))
<Angela_Daniels> Wouldn’t? Because she wants his soul. So wouldn’t help us really doesn’t surprise me. ::looks to Shade:: I’m going to go sit down. I ran all the way from Mark’s place. ::rubbing at her face some and heads to the breakroom::
<Josie_Lyons> <Tansy> We’ll put HIM in a cell where he belongs to give you some rest.
<Jack_Spinner> You aren’t that mean. You’re a good, little pixie who doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. It’s what makes your kind so easy to manipulate.
<Angela_Daniels> Thanks. ::small smile and goes!::

<Shade_Ringo> <Hertz> ::getting a little nervous, all these loose staples flying about..::
<Jack_Spinner> :: is hit with the stapler, winces at that :: You’re just saying that, but I know the truth. I get the feeling you enjoyed our brief time working together. Just a little.

<Shade_Ringo> <Hertz> ::clung, losing oxygen fast. but.. can’t help it.. starts crying with her!:: <Shade> Oh for paw’s sake.. Get up, Spinner! ::hauls him to his feet, taking him back to the cell block::
<Dark_Mark> Who else?
<Josie_Lyons> ::smirks and gets in her car. buckles up:: Yeah right… me? I don’t believe it.
<Jack_Spinner> Quite the crack team of professionals you’ve got here. :: as is shoved down the hall and into a cell :: I hope your kleenex supply is adequate.
<Dark_Mark> Believe it. ;:gets in:: When I said you had ambition, you had it. Never let anybody get in your way.
<Josie_Lyons> <Tansy> ::sniffle sobs on his shoulder:: It isn’t fair! It isn’t fair, Hertz! ::mewls::
<Josie_Lyons> And why did you want to serve as my body guard? How is that better?
<Dark_Mark> You asked me to, love.
<Shade_Ringo> You’re about two seconds away from me stringing you up outside with a big target on your tail. ::growly, putting him into a cell:: You can stay here until you rot.
<Josie_Lyons> ::snorks:: And you listened?
<Jack_Spinner> ((<Josie & Mark> :: have a make-out session. An EVIL make-out session ::))
<Dark_Mark> ((::DIES!::))
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Dark!Mark> You know I think comparing the two of you, this ‘verse has the “evil” version.))
<Dark_Mark> Of course.
<Josie_Lyons> ((::snorks!::))
<Dark_Mark> ((::dies!::))
<Josie_Lyons> So what… we were dating too? how did you die and end up in the Realm of Fire?
<Shade_Ringo> <Hertz> I know, little pixie! ::sniffles, grabbing a tissue box for them:: First my goldfish dies, then they cancel My Little Cronies, and now this! ::blows noisily into kleenex::
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol))
<Dark_Mark> We were. Out of the public eye, but we were. And, how else? Getting in the way of a sniper.
<Josie_Lyons> ((LULZ “My LIttle Cronies” ))
<Jack_Spinner> That might be really soon if I don’t get some dry clothes! :: says through the bars ::
<Dark_Mark> Of course, it didn’t help that I aided in getting some of your naysayers… “erased.”
<Josie_Lyons> <Tansy> :;grabs another tissue and blows her nose… getting control of herself, slides off of Hertz’ lap:: I’m… I’m sorry, Hertz. ::gives him another hug maw::
<Dark_Mark> ((::DYING, “My Little Cronies!”))
<Josie_Lyons> You killed for me? ::astonished lol hearing that coming from… MARK lol::
<Shade_Ringo> ::leans in close to bars:: What I wanna’ know is, how do *you* fit into all this? Are you working for Swytch?
<Dark_Mark> Only if you asked me to.
<Dark_Mark> Real shame the Bureau had to shut down because of it.
<Shade_Ringo> <Hertz> ::hugs back, still sniffling:: Don’t be sorry! I cry all the time!
<Josie_Lyons> Wow… ::pulls on out and starts driving… not sure where to though:: Heh… talk about loyalty. ::slight grin despite herself::
<Josie_Lyons> <Tansy> ::sniffle wipes her eyes:: Hey… you… want a smoothie, Hertz? I need something to cheer me up… get some energy.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Josie> ::headin’ to the chapel. gonna’ nab this version before he gets them all killed::))
<Josie_Lyons> ((::DEAD::))
<Jack_Spinner> No. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Our “professional relationship” has officially ended, and as a result, I’m back among the living. Though I’m going to need to find a plastic surgeon at some point.
<Shade_Ringo> <Hertz> ::perks right up:: That sounds swell, Tansy! Er, well, wait. One of us has to watch the desk.
<Dark_Mark> Real shame I didn’t love long enough to see you reach all your goals.
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Mark> I stopped loving you when you ate the last of the Cheetos… and then that’s when I bought the farm. ))
<Shade_Ringo> ::mutters:: I’ll say. ::clears throat:: So that was the deal? You knock off Sulfur, you get out of the Realm of Fire. And you don’t suppose Swytch has another little angle she’s working here?
<Josie_Lyons> <Tansy> You watch the desk, I’ll bring you one out. ::smiles and heads to the breakroom… smile fading. goes to prepare said smoothies::
<Josie_Lyons> I don’t get… why he wasn’t willing to do what was necessary… why he never listened to me… never was on my side…
<Shade_Ringo> <Hertz> Okiee! ::retunrs to Suduko in meantime:: Lets see.. 4.67 + 3.21 + 1… this is haaaard!
<Dark_Mark> Because he was an idiot.
<Jack_Spinner> Not at all. I’m not working for anyone. It’s been one crazy day after the other. Find myself transported right in the middle of the MBI. I suppose that’s her sense of humor. From there I took Tansy Burmilla and have pretty much been improvising ever since.
<Josie_Lyons> He wasn’t an idiot… just too stuborn and foolish. Good always prevails and whatever nonsence.
<Jack_Spinner> Me trying to kill Lyons, well, it’s all I’ve got on my mind lately.
<Shade_Ringo> Oh, that’s right. You were aiming for Lyons. Jealous she hit the big time, while you had to prey on *pixies* to do your dirty work?
<Jack_Spinner> :: frowns :: Lyons doesn’t deserve to be governor any more than she deserved to run the NSA or the MBI before that. It’s all because she made a- :: hurks, stops talking, reaching at throat as if he’s lost his voice ::
<Dark_Mark> :chuckles:: What you saw in him, I’ll never know.
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Shade> … what? A what? Why are you holding your throat? ::turns ’round:: <Tansy> ::wearing Vader helmet, cape and black gloves. using the Force to choke Spinner::))
<Shade_Ringo> ::blinks at him, leaning away from the bars at his sudden:: What? A what? C’mon, finish your sentences.
<Shade_Ringo> ((LOL))
<Josie_Lyons> ::sighs at that:: He was handsome… strong willed… Director of the MBI… I thought he was a real leader… someways he was but… there were better. As I said, he was weak. Always trying to take the hard way to solve things with as little loss as possible… psh.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Tansy> I find your lack of candy.. disturbing.))
<Josie_Lyons> For a time he was the only kat there on my side… but that didn’t last forever.
<Jack_Spinner> :: voice recovers after a moment :: I can’t willingly say any more, it seems, as it would lead to a violation of the terms of an agreement. It would also seem it’s the same reason I haven’t been able to kill Lyons in my last 3 attempts. That’s awfully lucky, especially when you consider I’m no slouch when it comes to that kind of thing. :: takes a seat on the cell cot ::
<Dark_Mark> In other words, an idiot.
<Josie_Lyons> ::smirks at him:: An idiot… but you… you aren’t…
<Josie_Lyons> Your Josie was lucky to have you.
<Shade_Ringo> ::blinks, weirded out by that:: What agreement? You said you weren’t working for anyone. Could you write it down?
<Jack_Spinner> Write “what” down? I don’t know what you’re talking about :: eyes darting left and right, as if he’s expecting that someone is listening in ::
<Josie_Lyons> <Swytch> ::bwhahaha someone might be… especially with all this mess that was made in failed attempt to ressurrect Mark::

<Dark_Mark> That’s not what I meant.

<Shade_Ringo> <Hertz> What flavor is it? ::takes, sluuuurping it up!::
<Protocol> <Tansy> It is tropical! Fresh pineapple, tangerine, orange and banana.

<Shade_Ringo> ((<Shade> ::whacks him with a ladel::))
<McGrath> <Spinner> It’s your time. Go ahead and waste it :: eats some soup, and after a few minutes, slides it back :: I’m not that hungry.

<Shade_Ringo> You little punk. ::grabs him anew by the shirt collar:: I want some answers!

<Shade_Ringo> ::just growls, letting him go and scooping up the bowl of soup *carefully* as he exits and slams the door shut::
<McGrath> That’s him in a Megakat Park safe house from earlier this morning. He’s just fine, and his condition proves my suspicion. You intervened, accessed his memories, learned about the device, healed him and took it.

<McGrath> ((::dies::))
<Shade_Ringo> ((<McG> ::looks over her shoulder:: Is that a new swimming pool in your backyard? <Prot> NO!.. YES!.. ))
<Protocol> ((LOL!))
<McGrath> I also accessed the city’s power grid records, particularly in the section of the grid where the MBI is located during the time of Spinner’s transportation and unexplained escape from Enforcer custody. :: holds up a hard copy that shows spikes consistent with Cyberkat travel :: I didn’t notice the entry, but you couldn’t hide your presence as easily when taking something as large as that device out with you.

<Protocol> <Tansy> … are you feeding him? ::angry tone::
<Protocol> None of your concern.
<McGrath> ((<Shade> Must destroy the evidence! :: NOM ::))
<Protocol> ((LOL!!))
<McGrath> This could negatively affect our already tenuous friendship if you don’t answer.
<Shade_Ringo> I’m getting answers. ::said that a little briskly. turns around:: Look, I’m sorry, Tansy. I know you’re upset, and you have every right to be.
<Shade_Ringo> ((Lol!!))
<Protocol> Then I’m afraid it must be so. Leave.
<McGrath> No.
<Protocol> <Tansy> He needs to be punished! And he never is!
<Protocol> Don’t make me force you to leave, McGrath.
<McGrath> Not until you tell me what’s going on.
<Shade_Ringo> But don’t you think stapling a kat’s head is a little… much?
<Protocol> It is much safer secured by me than it is by the MBI. ::hands spark a couple times:: Now GO.
<McGrath> ((<Jack Spinner> I’ll never be able to run for office now. Not with a face like this. :: sigh ::))
<Protocol> <Tansy> I considered it nothing compared to what all he’s done. ::mrrs::
<Protocol> ((<Shade> … wow like your criminal record alone wouldn’t keep that from happening?))
<McGrath> You’ll have to kill me if you want me to leave this alone.
<Shade_Ringo> I despise his guts just as much as the next Meg. But he knows something we don’t. Something big. ::explains their talk in the cell, and the resulting alphabet soup message::
<Protocol> Really, McGrath? Must it always come down to that with you all the time? It never matters to you whot anyone does… no one else’s goals are worthwhile or just but your own.
<Shade_Ringo> ((XD! <Jack> Hey, at least I hold a consistent stance. All for evil, evil for all.))
<McGrath> Not always. Just most of the time.
