<Tansy_B> ::is her job to feed him right now -g- so comes down hall with some tomato soup. she doesn’t feel he deserves letters or noodles in his soup. also put some tobasco sauce in there XD carrying it on tray with crackers and water in a glass who’s cleanliness is uncertain.:: Here, some food even though you should starve to death.
<Jack_Spinner> :: is in a different cell without access to any tools this time it would seem, and whoever patched him up while he was out did a sloppy job ::
<Jack_Spinner> :: takes the food :: Maybe I should have you taste this first before I try any.
<Tansy_B> I didn’t spit in it.  They won’t let me. ::hrmphs. checks the door lock and the hinges of etc. all around the bars::
<Jack_Spinner> :: sips :: This tastes like Tabasco. :: sets it back in the tray slot :: Tell the chef to do it over.
<Tansy_B> You just did. ::fake pleasant smile:: Don’t you like it hot?
<Jack_Spinner> :: returns the fake pleasant smile :: There’s a difference between hot and spicy.
<Tansy_B> What a baby you are.  Why should I bother redoing it?  eat a cracker.
<Jack_Spinner> Oh yes. The delicious and flavorful saltine. I’m not suffering from the flu. :: takes said cracker, snaps it in two, and flicks one at her ::

<Jack_Spinner> ((Heyas!))
<Tansy_B> ::hrmphs  getting cracker flicked on ‘er:: Fine.  I’ll redo it… how do you feel about lemon juice?  Or pickle juice?  Or maybe lots of flavorful salt poured in?! ::gripping bars::
<Tansy_B> ((Hey Sagey!))
<Sagey> ((Hey, guys! Ugh… sorry about this weekend. My computer’s been having issues. ::swears the spyware and malware people are getting sneakier eachtime::))
<Sagey> ((<Jack> Are you offering me a margarita? <Tansy> ><*))
<Tansy_B> ((lol ::hugpats:: S’alright girl!))
<Sagey> ((::hugs back! ))
<Jack_Spinner> :: grips the bars too, and leans forward as well :: Maybe you should make it with love and tenderness.
<Tansy_B> I have no love and tenderness for kats like you. ::lil’ growl which probably isn’t as threatening as she’d like it to be lol:: If I had it my way, you’d be hung outside by your tail with a target on your forehead for that assassin or evil Mark to find!
<Jack_Spinner> Well… :: looks to the left, then to the right :: No one else is here, so what’s stopping you?
<Tansy_B> I wouldn’t be allowed to be an agent anymore I’m certain. ::huffs:: They want to move you to safer location… psh.
<Jack_Spinner> You can always blame this “evil” version of Sulfur I’ve heard so little about. It’s not like this place keeps tabs on what goes on in great detail. There’s probably someone sneaking around right now for all you know.
<Tansy_B> … ::lol unaware of any cameras…:: You would try and escape… but… ::vanishes and reappears behind him in his cell. handcuffs out:: Hands forward, now!
<Jack_Spinner> :: snickers, holds out hands ::
<Tansy_B> ::cuffs him!:: Ha! ::beams then pulls out another set and kneels down:: Best be doubly sure you can’t run! ::will attempt to cuff his legs too at the ankles::
<Sagey> ((<Jack> I won’t run. I was my high school’s champion hopper three years inna row!))
<Tansy_B> ((LOL!))
<Jack_Spinner> Being thorough I see. :: reaches down and will take the handcuff keys discretely from her back pocket/belt while she’s attaching the shackles ::
<Tansy_B> ::doesn’t notice that:: I’m smarter than you think! ::stands up then poofs out of the cell. goes to get the keys from the desk there and heads back to the lock::
<Jack_Spinner> :: has disengaged the locks on the cuffs, but holds them as if they’re still on :: I have to admit, this is awfully assertive of you.
<Tansy_B> I’m not as weak as you think I am either. ::unlocks the cell door:: Now get out, time to face your doom! I know just the perfect place to put you where evil Mark and anyone else out to kill you can see!
<Jack_Spinner> :: hops out into the corridor ::
<Sagey> ((Tansy> :strings him up by his boxers outside the flagpole with a giant sign flashing with neon lights saying, “LOOKIT ME, WORLD! I WEAR HEART SHAPED UNDEROOS!” <Jack> Just kill me now.))
<Tansy_B> ((LOL!!))
<Tansy_B> ::shuts door and grins. takes hold of him and POOFs them outside on the roof of the MBI. points to flagpole XD:: There is where you will spend your last moments, Spinner!  Get a good look! ::gripping his elbow hard::
<Jack_Spinner> :: hops along :: That’s awfully sadistic of you. :: gets to the flagpole :: Now what?
<Tansy_B> I’m not sad about it at all! ::XD:: Now you stand there while I get some rope. ::looks ’round then heads for the chopper sitting there::
<Jack_Spinner> :: while she’s over there, removes the restraints and proceeds up behind her :: There might be some under the passenger seat :: shoves her in ::
<Tansy_B> ::reaches out finding some bungie cord:: You’re right there is-!! ::shoved in lol:: Hay! ::gets up and turns around::
<Jack_Spinner> :: gets in the chopper, and slides the door closed. Goes past her and gets in the pilot seat :: Looks like no rope. :: flips several switches which causes the rotors to start moving ::
<Tansy_B> You wait just a minute, Spinner! YOu’re not going anywhere! How’d you even get out of your cuffs? ::grrrs attempts to yank him out of the pilot’s seat by the arm::
<Jack_Spinner> :: shoves her over into the passenger seat :: Your spot’s not obvious enough. If you want to draw this guy out we have to be a little more obvious.
<Sagey> ((<Tansy> ><* <Spinner> XD <Tansy> ;_; <Spinner> ROFLCOPTER))
<Jack_Spinner> ((::dies::))
<Tansy_B> ((::DEAD::))
<Tansy_B> …what do you mean?  I can take you wherever without the MBI flying machine!
<Jack_Spinner> Now, while this piece of junk isn’t nearly as nice as one of my private aircraft, it’ll do for now. :: pulls up on the control stick, taking them into the air ::
<Sagey> ((<Spinner> I’ve seen the way you fly. I’d rather take my chances with the falling apart chopper))
<Tansy_B> ((LOL))
<Tansy_B> Put this chopper down, now!  I’m ordering you!
<Jack_Spinner> Not yet… :: flying toward the governor’s mansion ::
<Tansy_B> ::tries to grab at the steering stick lol::
<Jack_Spinner> Hey! That’s really unsafe, and you’ll be in a lot of trouble if this thing crashes.
<Tansy_B> I will be in more trouble if you get too far from the MBI! ::glaring::
<Jack_Spinner> Don’t worry. This shouldn’t take too long. :: after the right amount of time, lands the chopper on the governor’s mansion helipad ::

<Tansy_B> But-! ::looks out window and gulps as several security kats emerge and rush up on the roof, heavily armed, aiming at the chopper::
<Jack_Spinner> Better disable them with a wind gust or else everyone’s going to find out… or worse, this chopper’s going to get riddled with bullet holes :: turns off the engine and leans back in the seat ::
<Tansy_B> ::hisses at him:: I hate you… where are we?  <head guard> MBI chopper, you do not have clearance to land here.  Either take off now or come out with your hands up!
<Jack_Spinner> The governor’s mansion. :: glances out the window :: These guys are pros. They’re serious. They will shoot.
<Tansy_B> The governor’s mansion?! <head guard> Count of five… one.  Two. Three. <Tansy> ::paniced lol pushes outside of the chopper and sends out a gust of wind knocking the guards back. moves ’round to other side doing the same, most going off the roof::
<Jack_Spinner> :: exits after a moment, walking up to the nearest guard, kicking him in the side to loosen his grip on his sidearm, and then reaches down and takes it, walking up the walkway and taking the nearest entrance into the building ::
<Tansy_B> ::hurries after him:: Wait this is not a good spot to be found!  Get back in the chopper so I can return you to the MBI!

<Kutlass> ((Oooh, this gives me some time to get some cocoa then! :D))
<Jack_Spinner> I told you…:: back against wall in the decorative hallway, peeks around the corner before proceeding toward the main office :: This isn’t going to take long.

<Tansy_B> <guards> ::step out before he reaches the main office, aiming firearms:: Halt or we’ll shoot! ::gets behind Spinner::
<Jack_Spinner> Okay okay :: turns around, hands in the air, aiming the gun at the chandelier above :: I just wanted to speak to the governor :: fires :: <Chandelier> :: is severed and falls down on top of them ::
<Tansy_B> <guards> Gah! ::one dodges, other two get hit. groan under it::
<Jack_Spinner> :: smirks, and runs down the hall toward the double doored office, leap-kicking at it ::
<Tansy_B> <office doors> ::kicked open:: <Tansy> ::gasps hurries over, looking at the poor guards there then turns towards Spinner kicking doors open::
<Tansy_B> <Josie> ::sitting in a chair near fireplace in the office. looks up and over at Spinner:: … why please, do come in. ::sarcastically::
<Jack_Spinner> :: points the gun at her :: Now… where were we last? :: scratches chin with free hand :: Oh yes, I remember. Looking down the sight of a gun about to extinguish your life. :: lines up the barrel at her :: Just like this. And no Mark Sulfur to save you this time.
<Tansy_B> <Josie> That isn’t going to do you any good.  <Tansy> Spinner I demand you get back in the chopper!  I’m gonna get into so much trouble for this! ::flailing behind him::
<Jack_Spinner> Normally I’d agree with you, but there’s something… different. Can’t really describe it, other than a feeling that something’s amiss, if a way that’s good for me and not so good for you.
<Jack_Spinner> ((in a way^))
<Tansy_B> Her contract with me extends beyond one term.  I didn’t need Mark’s sacrifice to protect me from you. <Tansy> ::turns having to blow away s’more guards down the hallway::
<Tansy_B> <Josie> ^ ::was the first one there::
<Jack_Spinner> I don’t think that matters. See, I’m not supposed to be capable of thinking, acting or goings against the Realm of Fire. I shouldn’t even be able to have spoken that sentence just now, which means there’s something wrong with her, which means that there’s a good chance that other things aren’t working either.
<Jack_Spinner> ((going^))
<Tansy_B> <Josie> ::frowns now. standing:: What do you mean?
<Jack_Spinner> :: shoots her in the shoulder ::
<Tansy_B> <Josie> ::shot OW I HATE YOU MUN!! yowls falling backwards from that. wincing as she grips her shoulder with her other hand. hisses moving back on the floor towards the desk in there:: <Tansy> Spinner stop it!!
<Sagey> ((<Josie> SHOT THROUGH THE HEART AND YOU’RE TO BLA – <Spinner> I shot you in the shoulder, you idiot!)
<Tansy_B> ((::dies!:: <Josie> YOU STILL GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME!! <Spinner> … I never loved you either.))
<Sagey> ((::dies!::))
<Jack_Spinner> Ha! That’s what I thought. Well, would hate to waste such a great opportunity.:: walks over to her, taking aim some place more vital this time :: I’d love to deliver a great speech about this occasion, but I’ve said plenty in the past. You pretty much get my feelings toward you. :: will shoot unless stopped ::

<Shade_Ringo> ::crumples up his post-it from earlier, leaning back in his chair:: I just don’t know Tans. I don’t know how much longer I wanna’ be in the middle of these maniacs, holding them at bay from one another. ::throws scrap down::
<Tansy_B> … ::reaches out her hand to blow the scrap up and into nearby trash bin:: I never wanted to be in the middle of them.
<Shade_Ringo> So, what? You want Spinner dead? You want Mark gone forever as a result? ::getting heated::
<Tansy_B> We found someone who can separate the Marks.  I don’t care about Spinner’s fate.  He is at the root of all our troubles.
<Shade_Ringo> ::simmering down:: Is it that spirit chick you all went to visit?
<Tansy_B> ::nod:: Yes. Tien.  She says she will set right what we did wrong to save our Mark.
<Shade_Ringo> Yeah? ::sardonic chuckle:: And what do we gotta’ do?
<Tansy_B> Nothing.  Merely bring him to her and she will do it to restore balance.  It is her job as Magic Council member who oversees Spirit.
<Shade_Ringo> ‘Merely bring him,’ huh? ::holds head again:: And how exactly are we supposed to catch him? Lay down some fly-paper?
<Tansy_B> We have fly paper… he is laying in his cell.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Tansy> I was thinking we lure him into the portal by saying it’s a free vacation to Dizzy World! <Shade> ::laughs!:: <Later that Day…> <DarkMark> ::looking around Tien’s temple:: Where are the Teacups! of Doom I was told of?))
<Tansy_B> ((::dead!!::))
<Shade_Ringo> Sure, Spinner’s the best bait, but if even *one* thing goes wrong… we can kiss Mark good-bye.. again!
<Tansy_B> That isn’t my fault!  I just followed orders, it is his own fault for getting himself and us in this situation! ::mrrrs swishes tail:: Spinner was right, he did chose a spot wisely, and now the evil Mark will come for him.  We can be ready, take him out, and bring him to Tien to fix!  ::wind blows some in deskroom, some papers fly off the desks::
<Shade_Ringo> ::arches brow at the gust:: I’m not pinning blame. I just don’t think we fully realize who that Mark is we’re dealing with.
<Tansy_B> How are we to realize fully with then?  Lyons? Swytch? Who? ::hands on hips::
<Shade_Ringo> ::shrugs:: I don’t even think *they* have a complete understanding!
<Tansy_B> Mrrrr… well I am going to retrive the rest of the chopper… and going to bed.  ::turns to leave the deskroom::
<Shade_Ringo> You do that. ::grumblemutters:: Paw dang, I’m too tired and sore and cranky for this right now.
<Shade_Ringo> ::adds another “to do” on his list of things to inform Joe of::
