Joe and Jase as new co-directors deal with an irate Josie. Pixel continues proving herself by completing janitorial work for the MBI.
<Joseph_Forge> ::is in his office as usual. Sipping some coffee and such::
<Jason_Korat> ::Well, I’ve one upped you! I have… HOT CHOCOLATE!!!1::
<Joseph_Forge> ::Well fine! just have your hot chocolate. I’m having my coffee!:
<Josalyn_Lyons> <stately limo> ::pulls up in front of Bureau and Josie and her entourage of body guards once again emerge.:: <Josie> ::walks up the steps followed by a couple of burly toms in suits and ties. carrying a briefcase she is and enters lobby::
<Jason_Korat> ::mine has whipped cream!::
<Joseph_Forge> ::Keep your stinkin’ whipped cream! i’ll take my caffine fix::
<Jason_Korat> ::it’s nothing but mud water!::
<Josalyn_Lyons> <Josie> ::heads on inside, searching for someone, anyone… well anyone but Hertz perhaps… XD::
<Joseph_Forge> ::;P!!!!!!! ::
<Joseph_Forge> ::well can find either one of us!::
<Josalyn_Lyons> ::goes to Mark’s office first… wondering if he’s back in position. knocks on door::
<Jason_Korat> ::is looking over blue prints, blinks:: Come in?
<Josalyn_Lyons> <Josie> ::motions for her guys to stay in the hall. enters the office, surprised to see who’s in there:: Captain Korat… where is Director Sulfur?
<Jason_Korat> Director Korat, actually. ::as he stands::
<Josalyn_Lyons> ::looks at him oddly:: So Forge is no longer interested in the position… and is Mark pretending to be dead still? ::folds her arms::
<Jason_Korat> Actually, Forge is still in the position. We settled on a co-directorship. Former Director Sulfur retired.
<Jason_Korat> ::as mun dies. Almost typed “dictatorship”::
<Josalyn_Lyons> ((::dead!::))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::snorks::))
<Josalyn_Lyons> Psh… retired… well I assume then there will be new rank positions? More paperwork your Bureau owes me that I have not yet recieved.
<Jason_Korat> Ranks stayed the same. There might be a couple promotions here and there.
<Josalyn_Lyons> “might be” yes, glad to see the lack of urgency or proper structure still holds. ::rolls her eyes::
<Jason_Korat> Mm-hmm. ::boredly:: SO what can I do for you, your dicta… erm.. governorship?
<Josalyn_Lyons> I want the reports of the last few events from the moment your Bureau went into necromancy up ’til the recent team up Agent Ringo and Spinner made in defeating Swytch and Protocol.
<Jason_Korat> … Whyyyyyyyyy?
<Joseph_Forge> ::gets up, oblivious to Josie being there. grabs his coffee and makes his way down to Mark’s office, blinking at the suits as he walks to the door:: Jason? You not pay the government your taxes or something? ::pausing and frowning seeing the Josie?::
<Josalyn_Lyons> It is my job to know what is going on, especially in the matter of Spinner given he’s become a slight co-hero. ::yep is seen. didn’t shut door. glances over her shoulder to look at Joe::
<Jason_Korat> Whyyyyyyyyyyyy?
<Josalyn_Lyons> ::looks back at Jase:: WHY do you THINK?
<Jason_Korat> ::thinking:: Dunnoooooooooo.
<Joseph_Forge> ::smirks at Jason before walking past Josie and going to look at what he was looking at;:
<Josalyn_Lyons> ::mrrs tail swishing. after Joe’s in she slams the door shut and leans over the desk glaring:: Listen here you simpleton, you either give me what I want or say goodbye to this godforsaken place! I didn’t put up with Sulfur’s idiocy and I certainly am not putting up with yours, is that understood?
<Joseph_Forge> Easy there, governor. Are we going ot have to start recording our conversations for the public to hear? ::sips his coffee::
<Jason_Korat> Whoa-ho! Temper-ress. Chill out, alright? ::as he goes to the computer. Got the reports written a couple nights back::
<Josalyn_Lyons> No, what you are going to have to start doing is following orders for once! Spinner may be in your cell now, but it won’t be long before he is out again and I am NOT going to be afraid for my life any further.
<Josalyn_Lyons> I need information and I want it NOW.
<Jason_Korat> I said, “Chill out.” ::as he his ‘print’::
<Jason_Korat> *hits
<Joseph_Forge> You aren’t my boss. I don’t follow orders from you.
<Josalyn_Lyons> ::smirks:: Oh… but I am your boss, through extended means. You do not realize the power my title holds.
<Jason_Korat> Does that include the Power of Grayskull?
<Jason_Korat> ::boredly::
<Joseph_Forge> ::snorks:: And you don’t realize how bad it’d look for your position if it got out how you acted when that other Mark was around when you knew what he was. Oh and how threatening you’ve been to a public service group. So yeah..might wanna back off, your highness. I’d hate to see you be relieved of your duties early.
<Josalyn_Lyons> ::sneers at him:: You trying to blackmail me? ::laughs:: Go ahead, bring up that… it will only be your own undoing, admitting I was right all along. The Enforcers are already investigating that stunt you’ve all pulled.
<Jason_Korat> What stunt?
<Joseph_Forge> Not blackmail, its called whistle blowing last I checked.
<Joseph_Forge> Or telling the truth…you should try it sometime.
<Josalyn_Lyons> … with Mark hello? ::snaps a few times at Jase:: Wakey wakey, pay attention. ::looks at Joseph:: Peh, regardless I know you better than that, what would the public think of the MBI dabbling in the occult.
<Joseph_Forge> ::shrugs:: Dunno. Don’t care really.
<Jason_Korat> Again, what are you talking about? ::hands her the reports, including pictures… that were taken… after they exhumed Mark’s grave per request… and yes, there’s a body. Lemme gross you out, Gov’nah! XD::
<Josalyn_Lyons> ::sets briefcase down on hisdesk, opening it up to put those copies of files in it:: Very cute… ::shuts and closes it:: So where did little Sulfur run to hmm? More importantly… where did his better half go?
<Joseph_Forge> ::looks to Jason:: I heard they did a good job embalming him.
<Jason_Korat> ::shrugs:: Santa Katalina, maybe. Prolly on the beach witha Mai Tai in one hand.
<Jason_Korat> :then to Joe:: Or was that before they shot him?
<Josalyn_Lyons> ::mrrrs scowling:: You two are horrible!
<Joseph_Forge> I forget…::shaking head, sipping his coffee again::
<Jason_Korat> We learned from the best, oh Great One. ::bows::
<Josalyn_Lyons> ::takes up the briefcase:: Watch yourselves… the both of you. This Bureau’s luck is nearly out. ::turns towards the door::
<Jason_Korat> Considering the information we’ve got on you, I’d be careful making that remark.
<Joseph_Forge> Sounds like we need to find a leprechaun then. Or just go get some lucky charms or something for more luck. Gotta replenish that.
<Josalyn_Lyons> You’ve got nothing on me that’s worth anything, Korat… ::opens the door:: Why not go get some cereal for that… it’s where the both of you got your badges! ::storms out:: <security d00ds> ::urk! hot head is on the move, follow her out::
<Joseph_Forge> ::smirks, looking at Jason:: Nice. Didn’t know you had thsoe pictures.
<Jason_Korat> I like to have a little extra credit with my homework.
<Joseph_Forge> I think you just got an A plus. ::pats his shoulder::
<Josalyn_Lyons> ::ingrates! I HATE YOUUUU! XD can tell this is going to be twice as difficult dealing with them than Mark XD::
<Joseph_Forge> ::Why thank you XD::
<Josalyn_Lyons> ((LOL!))
<Jason_Korat> :smirks:: But no bonus points with the teacher. ::sigh::
<Joseph_Forge> Nope. That reminds me…we need to ponder on who’s gonna get promoted.
<Josalyn_Lyons> <Hans> ::does it come with higher grade pay? @_@::
<Joseph_Forge> ::nope. You take a cut in pay and
<Joseph_Forge> more hours XD::
<Josalyn_Lyons> <Hans> ::… good luck with that then! XD::
<Jason_Korat> Good question. ::as he sits::
<Joseph_Forge> We gonna have tryouts or something? ::Smirks::
<Josalyn_Lyons> <Tansy> ::promote MEEEE::
<Jason_Korat> Sure. See who survives a mine field first.
<Joseph_Forge> There we go. ::laughs:: And better question..do we want to name two captains or just go with one for now?
<Jason_Korat> For now, let’s stick with one.
<Josalyn_Lyons> <Tansy> ::I’ll make it SPARKLE!::
<Joseph_Forge> ::nods:: agreed. I’ll think on who would be good, you do the same. We’ll meet and toss around names and pick one out of the batch. how does that sound?
<Joseph_Forge> ::oh dear…thats a NO then.::
<Josalyn_Lyons> ((LOL!))
<Jason_Korat> I think that outta work. :thinking;::
<Joseph_Forge> alright. Anything you need help with?
<Josalyn_Lyons> ((<Jase> My stomach… not a few days in the position and I’m already inheriting Mark’s ulcers… <Joe> Ditto…))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::Diiiies!::))
<Jason_Korat> ::thinking, looking at the wall::
<Joseph_Forge> You’re not gonna…mark will come back from wherever he’s at and kill you…
<Jason_Korat> Kill me for knocking down this wall?
<Joseph_Forge> for getting his office dusty.
* Josalyn_Lyons is now known as Pixel
<Pixel> ::there that ended the J phase. XD knocks on the doooor::
<Jason_Korat> Oh, whatever. ::grinning:: C’mon in.
<Joseph_Forge> ;:Chuckles, perking his ears at the door::
<Pixel> ::enters smiling:: The floors are clean, every surface dusted, trash removed! When do I get paid? ::still in those coveralls ‘n chucks::
<Jason_Korat> … technically, you get paid bi-weekly…
<Joseph_Forge> ,:;blinking at her, then chuckles:: yeah. Ever other week on friday.
<Pixel> Oh… Do I need a bank account or will you pay me in dollar paper money?
<Joseph_Forge> ::looks to Jason :: Well..considering…what you are…I think we can arrange to pay you with a check for now until you get better established here and get a bank account unless thats what you prefer?
<Jason_Korat> ::nods:: I think we can work that in.
<Pixel> I have not yet falsified records within the government for gaining an identity… so I would prefer paper money.
<Joseph_Forge> ::nods:: We’ll make arrangements for that then.
<Pixel> Do you… have any suggestions…?
<Joseph_Forge> ::Chuckles:: gotta admit..I’m not much ong falsifying government documents::
<Jason_Korat> S’much as I hate to say it, tht’d be McGrath’s area of expertise…
<Pixel> Is he here?
<Joseph_Forge> don’t think he is right now. He should be here later on though.
<Pixel> ::nods and smiles again:: I will be sure to speak with him. Thank you. ::looks ’round the office:: Would you like me to clean this room as well?
<Jason_Korat> How good are you at deconstructing?
<Pixel> Deconstructing? It depends on the size and contents of the device.
<Joseph_Forge> How about the walls to an office?
<Pixel> ::tilts head:: … I… suppose I could though I’m more experienced with electronics… It is a simple matter of manipulating molecules and matter…
<Jason_Korat> Well, I wanna remove that wall.
<Pixel> ::looks over at the wall he means:: Okay… All of it? ::rolls sleeves up and cracks her knuckles. nervous but trying to hide it as she approaches the wall::
<Joseph_Forge> you sure you wanna do this? ::looking over at Jase::
<Jason_Korat> Yeah, I do. Now, if you think I’m gonna drive you up a wall, say it now.
<Joseph_Forge> Oh you probably will. Just watch your back. ::Smirks, downing the last of his coffee::
<Jason_Korat> Good. ::smirks back:
<Pixel> ::giggles a bit at Jase… takes in deep breath… exhales.:: Scanning… ::pauses staring:: scanning complete. ::goes acoherent and places hands on the wall. it too goes acoherent… concentrating… wall begins to slowly vanish as it breaks down::
<Joseph_Forge> Then yeah, the whole thing Pixel.
