Mark and Angie get on a flight headed towards Scotland. Is this the last we’ll see of Mark? Pixel arrives at the MBI asking for… employment?
Note: First part of this log is missing.
<Felony> Hey guys!
<Mark_Sulfur> ((Heys!))
<Joseph_Forge> ((heys!))
<Mark_Sulfur> Wow… you’re actually working outside of work. I’m impressed.
<Felony> ((eep! I mean Hey guys! in these! XD <Mark ‘n Joe> ::look over and glare:: Oh great, another villain infiltrating… <Mark> Come back next week, we’re breaking from havoc.))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::DIES!!!:))
<Joseph_Forge> ::blinks as he walks up and chuckles:: I do that sometimes. ::Grins:: what are you doing out and about? How’s the leg?
<Joseph_Forge> ((::Diiiiies!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> I needed some fresh air.
<Joseph_Forge> ahh gotcha. I got an extra hammer if you wanna join in. Horses spooked in that storm the other night and tore up some fence.
<Mark_Sulfur> Actually, there’s something I need to talk to you about. I’m… on a semi-tight schedule.
<Felony> ((where they be? ::will watch for a bit::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((They be at Joe’s place XD))
<Felony> ((w00t gotcha ^_^))
<Joseph_Forge> Oh? Sure. Whats up? ::Grabs up his water to take a drink::
<Joseph_Forge> ::mun can toss in charas if need be!::
<Mark_Sulfur> I stopped by to say goodbye.
<Joseph_Forge> ::nearly spits out said water! XD:: What?!
<Mark_Sulfur> You heard me. ::gently::
<Joseph_Forge> Goodbye? But..we just got you back. Where on felinus are you going now?
<Mark_Sulfur> ::sighs, leans against the fence:: I’m technically not supposed to be here, Joe.
<Joseph_Forge> Well yeah but neither shoudl a lot of kats. We can find some reaonsing and get it straightened out again you know.
<Mark_Sulfur> I know that, but at the same time it’d be best that the public never knew what went down.
<Felony> ((<Mark> Oz. <Joe> Oz? <Mark> Yeah. Apparently that is a real place, going to use the dimensional teleporter. Taking Angela with me. <Joe> … um… okay… ::soon as he leaves, calls up Angie to see if she’s examined Mark’s head for injuries lately::))
<Joseph_Forge> They don’t have to know the truth.
<Joseph_Forge> ((::diiiies!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::dies!!:: <Angie> Well… I got him to stop skipping around in my red shoes…))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::snorks::))
<Mark_Sulfur> Easier said than done. My mind is already set, Joe. I already spoke to Jason about this, too. ::hand on his shoulder;: The place is yours and his. Take care of it for, alright?
<Mark_Sulfur> *for me, even
<Felony> ((LOL!))
<Joseph_Forge> ::Frowning some, nodding:: you know we will. You’ll always be in charge if you decide to come back.
<Felony> <Josie> ::bwhahahahahaha! yes run away! excellent. XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> You never know; I just might. :gives him a manly!tom!OMG!hug::
<Joseph_Forge> ::OMG! HUG! XD will return that manly!tom!OMG!hug:: Call me and let me know sometime where you’re at. I take it Angie is going with you since your’e not dead?
<Felony> ((LOL! DAWWWW))
<Mark_Sulfur> ::chuckles:: We could say so. and, I will. Say bye to Katrina for me, alright?
<Joseph_Forge> I will. Take it easy, Mark. Gonna miss having you around.
<Felony> ((<Mark> :;like the previous president leaves the newly elected president a letter of advice… he has left something for Joe with only one sentance written. “Watch out for falling cars.”::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((:DIES!!!::))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::Diiiiies!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ::smiles:: Thanks, Joe. And, thank you for supporting me all this time.
<Joseph_Forge> Hey, No problem. You gave a lot of us a second chance that didn’t deserve it. Thanks for everything you’ve done for the MBI.
<Mark_Sulfur> You’re welcome. ::claps a hand on his shoulder:: If there’s ever anything you need, let me know. I’ll be here.
<Joseph_Forge> Alright. I will. Thanks a bunch.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::smiles, then gets into his car:: See you later, Director Forge.
<Felony> ((<Hans> Hey brother in law, do I get a raise for helping give you a nephew? XD))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::dies!!::))
<Joseph_Forge> ((<Joe> Nope. ))
<Felony> ((<Hans> Darn. I tried honey! ))
<Joseph_Forge> ::chuckles, shaking his head:: Later, former Director Sulfur.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::drives off!::
<Joseph_Forge> ::sighs, shaking head as he drives away! picking up his stuff and heading back to the house so he’s got itme to get ready to go in to work::
* Felony is now known as Pixel
<Mark_Sulfur> ::eventually gets into the airport and drops off the car at the rental place, then heads through all the security brouhaha (sp?) and eventually gets on the flight that was waiting for him::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::well, the flight really wasn’t waiting for him. You know what I mean. XD::
<Pixel> ::waiting at the front desk at the MBI, looking like her proper self and not her momma. swishing left ‘n right in the chair, waiting for someone to arrive::
<Pixel> ((LOL we know Mark is that special, fo sheezy! ))
<Joseph_Forge> ((LOL!))
<Pixel> ((<Angie> ::cashed in on a NICE life insurance policy… they be flyin’ in their own private jet!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((He’s awesome like that. XD))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((DEAD!!))
<Joseph_Forge> <Angie>::is already seated! hair braied back out of her face. looking up as he comes onboard and smiles:: Hey.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::gets his stuff in the overhead compartment, smiles:: Hey yourself. ::sits next to her::
<Joseph_Forge> <Joe>::yesh will get dressed in uniform and heads for the office. in due time walks in and blinks at Pixel there:: Can I help you?
<Joseph_Forge> <Angie> Get everything taken care of?
<Pixel> ::stands:: Is director Sulfur coming in today? ::not realizing what went on while she was in jail::
<Pixel> ::just wearing pair of jean pants, light pink shirt, grey boots::
<Mark_Sulfur> I did, yeah. ::leans back and holds her hand:: With a promise that I’d look after them from far away.
<Joseph_Forge> Actually…he doesn’t work here anymore. He…retired. ::yeah that sounds good.:: I’m stepping in for him. What can I help you with?
<Joseph_Forge> <Angie>::holds his hand in return:: Good. you tell him where you’re headed?
<Pixel> May we speak privately someplace, Director?
<Joseph_Forge> ::nods:: Of course. This way. ::motions to his office. will show her there and lets her in first::
<Mark_Sulfur> No, but he’ll figure it out when I write. :smiles:: <Captain> Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlekats, and welcome aboard flight 2847 with non-stop service to Scotland. Skies are clear and sunny, local time is now 3:25 p.m. We will be travelling for a total of 14 hours, and we should be arriving one time. We ask that you please fasten your seatbelts and be ready for take-off. Thank you.
<Pixel> ::follows him down the hall to his office, goes inside when he lets her in. takes a seat in one of the two chairs in front of his desk:: I… do not know if you are aware that… this is not my first time here at the MBI.
<Joseph_Forge> <Angie>::buckles up!:: Sounds like a plan.
<Joseph_Forge> Apparently I’m out of the information loop on that one. ::taking a seat::
<Mark_Sulfur> Yeah. :kisses her hand gently once he buckles up::
<Joseph_Forge> <Angie>::maww lets him! :: you sure we got somewhere to stay when we get there?
<Pixel> My name is Pixel… and I am a cyberkat. :;wow that sounds more like an AA confession XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> It’s all taken care of.
<Joseph_Forge> ((::diiies!:: <Pixel> My name is pixel, and I’m an electroholic. <OThers> hello, Pixel.))
<Pixel> ((LOL!!))
<Joseph_Forge> ::blinkies! looking her over:: Okay. And what brings you here?
<Joseph_Forge> <Angie> Good. ::smiling softly:: You still sure you wanna do this? Just…leave like this?
<Mark_Sulfur> ::looks at her seriously:: We have ten minutes to get off this flight if you change your mind, lass.
<Joseph_Forge> <Angie>::shakes her head:: no. I told you I am staying with you so thats what I”m doing.
<Pixel> I was here months ago… posing as Protocol. Your agent McGrath figured out that I was not her… she has… had… quite the reputation. ::somber look. fidgeting some:: I turned myself in as her, hoping it would help cyberkat relations, prevent an event in the future, but it did not matter. It still came true.
<Joseph_Forge> You’re referrring to her terrorizing downtown after trying to take over the realm of fire?
<Pixel> ::nods solemly:: Affirmative… ::looks up at him, ears drooped, shameful expression::
<Mark_Sulfur> Then, yes, I still want to.
<Joseph_Forge> Okay so why does that bring you here other than your plan failed? ::sitting back in his chair::
<Joseph_Forge> <Angie>::soft smile:: I better not have to cook any of your weird foods while we’re there.
<Mark_Sulfur> ))<Pixel> Alright, so my mother is as stubborn as a mule and needs to be smacked upside the head. I see that now. But… I can’t do anything about it. <Joe> Why not? <Pixel> She threanted me with a time out and cut off my allowance.))
<Mark_Sulfur> ::laughs as the plane finally takes off:: You don’t have to worry about that.
<Pixel> I… have no place else to go, Director Forge. I am stuck in the past and I must continue to try and prevent other things from occurring… Protocol may have been my mother, but I do not want to rule all biologicals like she did. I want cyberkats and biologicals to get along. So… I am asking if I may work here.
<Joseph_Forge> ((::Diiiies!::))
<Pixel> ((::dead!::))
<Joseph_Forge> <Angie>::looks out the window as it takes off then back at him:: Okay good. ::smiles, giving his hand a squeeze::
<Joseph_Forge> ::blinkies!:: work here? ::thinking that over:: well…I want to help but..we don’t even know you. And as bad as it sounds, we can’t be sure that way you say is true.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::returns it::
* Mark_Sulfur is now known as Jason_Korat
<Pixel> ::frowns:: Why because of my cybergenetic code? There is another cyberkat who works here already! I did good work when I was posing as my mother, just ask around! I even let McGrath put one of those anti-cyberkat bracelets on me. ::folds arms glaring lol::
<Joseph_Forge> No no..its not that. ::sighs:: Look….a lot of kats here were betrayed by Protocol. So they hear you are her daughter and they will think you are just like her. And while you say you are not like her, how do I know thats true? A biological kat off the streets could say the same to me and I’d have a hard time believing them since I wouldn’t know them.
<Joseph_Forge> ::thinking a moment:: I tell you what. Why don’t you try just…hanging around here and helping out for a while? Let us see how you act, and you see us. Then if you still want to join us after a while we’ll reconsider it.
<Pixel> What about YOU Director Forge… I am aware of your past record yet you were taken in. ::grumps lol then perks up:: I can clean really well! Agent Hertz was afraid of slipping on my shiny floors! ::beaming:: I just want to do something good, I want to make up for what my mother has done and make more positive cyberkat/biological relations. ::clasps paws together, giving a pleading look of sincerity::
<Pixel> ::has momma’s temper, daddy’s cute pouty kitty eyes XD::
<Jason_Korat> ((:DIES!!!:: <Joe> AUGH! MY EYES!))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::diiiies!::))
<Joseph_Forge> :frowns when she starts down that path:: I had time to prove myself too. Not everyone trusted me for a while. Took some time. ::then nods:: You can clean if you like. I think we can pay you to do that. You can help out around here like our two pixies did. one of them is now an agent after she proved herself and decided to take that step.
<Pixel> ::stands and tries to lean over desk to grab his hand and shake vigorously with both of hers:: I will not let you down, Director Forge!
<Joseph_Forge> :;blinks, letting her do so then chuckles:: Alright. Just…ask around I guess and see what you can help out with. We’re kinda short handed now without Mark and with Tasha out on maternity leave so I’m sure someone could use some assistance.
<Pixel> ::lets his hand go:: Should I wear different clothing? A uniform? Why is Sulfur no longer director? He was not set to retire until- er… well I’ll get started right away! Thank you sir! ::salutes::
<Joseph_Forge> ::chuckles and salutes back:: You’re welcome.
<Pixel> ::turns and exits his office beaming. wants to do well at this, dedicate herself to something. goes acoherent as she walks down the hall, going solid again and wearing janitor’s coveralls and converse sneakers. going to get out the mop bucket::
<Joseph_Forge> ::shakes head and sighs, rubbing at his eyes a bit:: <What a day and its not even started good…>
<Pixel> ::hey I didn’t try and kill you did I? XD whistles while she makes up some new soapy water, putting on rubber gloves and gets to work::
<Jason_Korat> ::walks on in, then blinks at the new janitor::
<Joseph_Forge> ::sits up and starts looking through the papers on his desk.::
<Pixel> ::dances while she mops. she doesn’t need an mp3 player XD has one stored in her! lol tho hers is prolly mp5 futcha model! waves at Jason as she started cleaning lobby first::
<Jason_Korat> ::waves back, then goes to Joe’s office:: Knock knock.
<Joseph_Forge> ::looks up:: hey. Come on in.
<Jason_Korat> Who’s the new janitor?
<Pixel> ((brb!))
<Joseph_Forge> Pixel. Apparently she’s protocol’s daughter from the future some something like that. Another cyberkat. She wanted a job and I told her she’d have to prove herself to us before we just handed her a full on job.
<Joseph_Forge> ((okies!)
<Jason_Korat> ((Kies!))
<Jason_Korat> And, she chose janitor? Why not secretary or something?
<Joseph_Forge> She offered to clean so I said go ahead. ::shrugs:; guess lets just see how she works out for a while. can give her a secretary job if she hangs around for a while and we seem to trust her with that.
<Jason_Korat> Well, okay…
<Joseph_Forge> Hey, if you aren’t cool with this then go ahead and change it up. I don’t mind that.
<Jason_Korat> ::chuckles:: It’s gonna come down to this? You and I are gonna have to flip a coin on how to run things around here?
<Joseph_Forge> ::chuckles:: I guess so since Mark’s gone now. I still don’t know what to say.
<Jason_Korat> You and me both. ::bitter smirk:; I was ready to punch him when he told me he was leaving.
<Joseph_Forge> Heh..something like that…..:;sighs:: you can have his office.
<Jason_Korat> I can’t do that.
<Joseph_Forge> well..guess its gonna be vacant then.
<Jason_Korat> We could always rebuild it… knock this wall down so we both have one office.
<Joseph_Forge> :smirks:: us in the same office? You sure you wanna do that?
<Jason_Korat> I wouldn’t be against it… unless it’d bother you. ::smirks back::
<Joseph_Forge> ::shrugs:: We’ll think on it.
