The following are the logs for our Saturday/Sunday afternoon RPG. It’s fundamentally the same as the evening RPG and has many of the same characters. It just functions on its own timeline. Events that transpire in these logs may or may not be referenced in the evening RPG logs or vice versa.
It’s Agent Sherringford Jeffries first day on the job and Agent Josie Lyons’s first opportunity to meet some more of her new co-workers. The experience of a typical day at the MBI might just leave both wondering if they want to explore new careers.
<TrinaKorat> ::issa… walking down the street towards HQ. Is rather late. Has to give an interview in ten minutes and her heels aren’t helping her pace any::
<JosalynLyons> ::er I mean! hee so yes, reports for duty! is right on time as she walks in the MBI wearing black pants, a black long sleeved top, ‘n black combatish boots. those are for work though. to go with her uniform. which she needs!::
<TrinaKorat> ::and, yeah. Her car broke down a while ago. Left it at her cous’ (aka Chance’s) shop to be repaired::
<SherryJeffries> ::wheee! is driving up to the HQ, I guess, in his car::
<SherryJeffries> ::pulls up, shuts off the engine, and other car stuff, before he gets out. He’s in his snazzy MBI uniform, as he approaches the front door::
<JosalynLyons> ::goes to… yes they have lockers, don’t they? and changes in the locker room into her new MBI uniform, sans BPV ’cause that’s heavy ‘n she’s not on a mission. needs to get her fire arm though.::
<MangaSK> :: Issa writing up reports for school:: aiy….work experience.. what the heck should I write?…my big bro works as an agent?!
<TrinaKorat> ::yups. They have locker rooms. ;) ::
<Alex_SK> ::Walks past with coat off and sword strapped across his back::
<SherryJeffries> ::pockets the car keys (the uniforms have pockets, right?) as he enters the building, looking around. Although he came here earlier to get himself recruited and all, he’s still unfamiliar with the layout of the place::
<JosalynLyons> ::thought so. remembers Prot helping to destroy one once XD::
<JosalynLyons> ::er she doesn’t, her mun does::
<TrinaKorat> ::hurries inside and up the stairs, beats herself for dressing formal today::
<SherryJeffries> ((I need like a layout of this place…))
<JosalynLyons> ::heads outta the locker room. looks around. hadn’t had much breakfast. remembers the break room had donuts ‘n coffee, so heads down the hall to find it again::
<SherryJeffries> ((Otherwise he’ll end up walking into walls and doing pratfalls down the stairs))
<JosalynLyons> ((<Trina>::laaaaaaughs:: This place gets rebuilt so many times, it changes often. ))
<TrinaKorat> ((::SOOOODEAD!::))
<TrinaKorat> ((Have you seen NYPD, Koosh?))
<TrinaKorat> ((NYPD Blues, even))
<SherryJeffries> ::so, I guess he heads to the main office-type place to speak with whoever’s in charge of administration::
<SherryJeffries> ((Vaguely))
<TrinaKorat> ((Well… think of their office that way. ^_^;))
<Alex_SK> ::In the Gym, Alex is doing his daily sword drills. He moves with a grace and speed that seems almost impossible for most people::
<SherryJeffries> ((Okay, like a police station? Coolies, I can do that. I’ll become more familiar with its layout as time passes, too))
<TrinaKorat> ((yuppers))
<TrinaKorat> ::gets there, slightly out of breath, catches Sherry outside:: Mr. Jeffries?
<MangaSK> :: Yawns and stretches her arms out:: Aiy
<SherryJeffries> ::turns towards the approaching she-kat:: Yes?
<JosalynLyons> ::ah finds a fresh box of donuts, and no one around. goes up and takes out one with a napkin. Then pours herself a cup of coffee:: Let’s hope the coffeemaker isn’t really Shrap….
<MangaSK> (( :: DIES!:: ))
<SherryJeffries> ((<Coffee> ::becomes demonically possessed and only produces mud!::))
<TrinaKorat> ((DEAD)
<Alex_SK> ::Walks in after his work out:: One way to find out ::Tosses a shiny coin across the room and sees what happens::
<JosalynLyons> ((::dies::))
<TrinaKorat> I’m Lt. Katrina Korat. We spoke over the phone. ::extends a hand:: Sorry I’m late. My car’s in the shop.
<JosalynLyons> ::sits at a table and OM NOM NOMs donut.::
<MangaSK> :: Gets up and goes to find Alex::
<SherryJeffries> ::he smiles warmly and shakes her hand:: Understandable. I’m a little late myself, but held up in traffic. ::he sighs and takes off his sunglasses – even though his lazy mun didn’t indicate he was wearing any::
<SherryJeffries> ((They’re magic sunglasses! Hush!))
<JosalynLyons> ((LOL!!))
<Alex_SK> ::Nothing happens:: Well I guess that really is the coffee maker then…::offers Josie a hand:: Alex Weathers
<TrinaKorat> ::waves it off: No problem. ::smiles:: Please, come inside. ::waves him into her office::
<MangaSK> Hey Alex! ….do you know what I can write for my school work experience report?
<SherryJeffries> ::he follows after her, pocketing the glasses along with the keys. he looks a bit uncomfortable in his not-yet broken in uniform::
<TrinaKorat> ::setting her stuff down:: Please, take a seat. ::as she sits at her desk::
<SherryJeffries> ((<Sherry> Too….much…starch..::walks all 50′s sci-fi robot-like::))
<TrinaKorat> ((:DEAD::))
<Alex_SK> ::Sees Manga:: Hi Manga…::Thinks for a mo:: I don’t know if you can write about this place…it’ll sound more like a Saturday Morning cartoon
<JosalynLyons> ::blinks at him. dusts paws off with napkin and shakes his paw a moment:: Nice to meet you, Agent Weathers. I’m Josalyn Lyons. This is my first day here. ^_^
<SherryJeffries> ::he takes a seat, clasping his fingers together in his lap::
<TrinaKorat> Did you have any trouble finding the Bureau, Mr. Jeffries?
<Alex_SK> Nice to meet you…and don’t worry, it can’t go nearly as badly as my first day
<JosalynLyons> ::looks at Manga, wonders why a kid’s here, but smiles politely::
<SherryJeffries> No, actually.
<Alex_SK> ::Notices:: This is my sister Manga…Just try not to give her caffeine…she’s energetic enough as it is
<JosalynLyons> Nice to meet you Manga. ::smiles shakes her paw::
<TrinaKorat> That’s good to know. Well, let’s start, shall we? ::smiles warmly::
<JosalynLyons> So… how long have you been in the agency, Agent Weathers?
<JosalynLyons> ((You better give him the same quiz Josie got! XD))
<TrinaKorat> ((::dies:: I will. XD))
<SherryJeffries> ::he gives an enthusiastic nod:: Yes, let’s. So, what will I be doing on my first day?
<SherryJeffries> ((::has a bad feeling!::))
<TrinaKorat> We’ll get to that part eventually. ::smiles:: First, tell me a bit about yourself.
<JosalynLyons> ((<Matrix>::hopes Trina does the ink blot tests so the other newbie will see the horrid pic of DK in zebra pants XD::))
<SherryJeffries> Ah, well, I’m not a native of Megakat City, first off.
<TrinaKorat> ((:SOOODEAD::))
<TrinaKorat> Oh?
<Alex_SK> Um…I’ve been here about six months now.
<JosalynLyons> Ah so you’re somewhat new too then, eh?
<SherryJeffries> No, I’m originally from Katicksville. ((just coined that, heh))
<TrinaKorat> That’s in England, am I correct?
<SherryJeffries> Yes. My father was an Enforcer stationed at the sub-station there, and he was transferred here.
<SherryJeffries> ((Or whatever they call foreign bases.))
<JosalynLyons> ((<Trina> That place doesn’t exist! You’re a cyberdemon spy of Dark Kat’s aren’t you?! <Jeffries> No! I- <Trina> A mutated freak bent on destroying us?! <Jeffries> NO!! Listen it- <Trina> Time traveller from the future sent by some evil overlord to keep us from stopping his world domination plans?! <Jeffries> Uh… yeah that’s it. ‘scuse me I gotta time travelling phone booth to catch. ::flees!:: ))
<Alex_SK> Yes…Although time seems to slow down when you’re risking your life every day. Since I joined, I have been shot at, burned, stabbed, blown up and demonically possessed. But I wouldn’t do any other job in the world
<TrinaKorat> ((::DEADDEADDEADDEAD!::))
<SherryJeffries> ((:::DIES::))
<SherryJeffries> My mother was English, but my father was from Megakat City.
<TrinaKorat> ((<Josie> ::blinks at Alex:: Um… that’snicetoknownicemeetingyoubye! ::runs, goes to turn in her resignation:: <Trina> ALEX!!! That’s the FOURTH one you scared off!))
<JosalynLyons> ::Nods then stops:: Did you just say… demonically possessed…? O_o;;
<TrinaKorat> ::nods: What experience do you have, Mr. Jeffries?
<JosalynLyons> ((::diies::))
<SherryJeffries> Well, not much. I have knowledge of firearms and having spent the past few years running my father’s coffee shop I have some business skills.
<SherryJeffries> ((<Sherry> But my mun doesn’t! <Me> Silence!))
<TrinaKorat> What firearms are you familiar with? I can only warn you right now that we work with oldschool weaponry..
<SherryJeffries> ((SO is that normal guns as opposed to laser guns?))
<TrinaKorat> ((yups))
<Alex_SK> That one is a Really long story but, long story short that’s how I got these ::Shows her the elongated vampire’s fangs::
<SherryJeffries> Well, since I at first wanted to be an Enforcer, I studied up on laser weaponry, but I can use an old-fashioned, regular handgun.
<JosalynLyons> ::leans back in her chair from him wide eyed:: Eh heh… that’s um… nice?
<TrinaKorat> ::nods:: Well, just a curious question… Why pick the Bureau over the Enforcers? Our budget isn’t really… all that high…
<JosalynLyons> ::<Are those things real or is this “trick the newbie” day?>::
<SherryJeffries> Well, simply because the Enforcers are too structured. I prefer the type of working environment offered by the MBI.
<MangaSK> Alex.. what can I write?
<SherryJeffries> ::basically doesn’t wanna be an expendable commando like dear old dad::
<Alex_SK> ::Pulls the sword off his back and lays it on the table before sitting down:: You look a little pale all of a sudden. Maybe you should see Furklaw about that
<SherryJeffries> ((<Sherry> Plus they die at an alarming rate, too…))
<TrinaKorat> ((DEAD!))
<JosalynLyons> ::hrrrms…:: What’s with the sword? I don’t recall that being a regulation weapon.
<JosalynLyons> ((::dies::))
<TrinaKorat> ::nods:: I see. Well, I’ll give you a short quiz. I’ll give you a word, you tell me the first thing that comes to mind.
<SherryJeffries> Alright.
<TrinaKorat> Dark Kat
<Alex_SK> ::To Manga:: Hmmm, you could talk to Jess. Since she’s an Enforcer, some of the stuff she says would sound slightly more plausible…::To Josie:: And you’re right, Witchblade isn’t a regs weapon…I just have a thing about guns y’know
<SherryJeffries> Evil.
<TrinaKorat> MegaKat City
<MangaSK> Hmm I guess….if only she was here at the moment.. and the deadline is tomorrow
<SherryJeffries> Home.
<TrinaKorat> Justice
<SherryJeffries> Laws.
<TrinaKorat> ((“You see that evil will always triumph… because good is dumb!”))
<JosalynLyons> ((<Jeffries> You got something between yer teeth there… ))
<TrinaKorat> ((DEAD))
<SherryJeffries> ((::lol::))
<TrinaKorat> Commander Feral
<SherryJeffries> ((<Helmet> Did you see anything?! <Sanders> No, sir, I didn’t see you playing with your dolls again.))
<JosalynLyons> ((<Josie>::hops in:: HANDSOME!! @___@ <Trina> Go away! I did this with you already!))
<SherryJeffries> Hmm, thickheaded.
<SherryJeffries> But also admirable.
<TrinaKorat> ((::DEADDEAD::))
<SherryJeffries> Can I give two answers? I’m conflicted about the resident Enforcer leader…
<TrinaKorat> ((“What’s the matter, Colonel Sanderz? CHICKEN?!))
<TrinaKorat> ::smiles: That’s alright.
<TrinaKorat> Are there any strengths and weaknesses you may have?
<JosalynLyons> … “Witchblade”? Okay, Agent Weathers. This attempt at a joke on me isn’t working. Just because I’m new doesn’t mean you can make my first day horrible. ::stands up and gets another cup of coffee::
<SherryJeffries> ::he pauses:: Well, I don’t often lose my temper.
<TrinaKorat> ::cocks her head curiously:: Oh?
<Alex_SK> Hey, don’t believe me? Just ask the Lt about Silverlight some time. I take pride in my swords
<SherryJeffries> But I tend to be rough with the unruly.
<JosalynLyons> Silverlight? What is that – magic beer, Agent Weathers? ::smirks sips coffee::
<Alex_SK> ((<Sanderz> Prepare sheeep…Prepare Ship…FOR LUDIRASS SPEED))
<SherryJeffries> ((<Piett> Magic beer? Where?!))
<JosalynLyons> ((::laughs!::))
<SherryJeffries> ((Ludicrous Speed! GO!))
<TrinaKorat> ::nods:: I see. ::smiles:: Well, since you can start immediately, Mr. Jeffries, I suggest you get acquainted with the people you’ll be working with.
<SherryJeffries> Ah, good. I enjoy meeting new people. ::big cheesy but earnest smile::
<SherryJeffries> ((<Sherry> Sing a happy, happy, happy song, sing ahappy, happy, happy- <Trina> Aaaah! Kill it!))
<Alex_SK> No, Silverlight is another sword that I made as a gift for her
<JosalynLyons> ((::diiies::))
<JosalynLyons> ::puts a paw to her forehead, fingertips at her left temple:: Kats alive…
<TrinaKorat> ((DEAD))
<TrinaKorat> I believe there were a few in the kitchen. Down the hall to your left. If you’ll excuse me, I need to get into uniform.
<TrinaKorat> ::as she stands and offers a hand:
<SherryJeffries> Alright, pleasure meeting you.
<SherryJeffries> ::he gets up and saunters out of her office, heading down the hall and to the left as indicated, stepping into the kitchen::
<TrinaKorat> The pleasure was mine. ::smiles, then heads to the locker room to change::
<SherryJeffries> ((<Sherry> ::…and finds himself in that kitchen from Roger Rabbit! he’s plowed into by the title bunny::))
<MangaSK> Heh I don’t think the teacher’d believe that you were an agent though…although I could maybe lie a bit and say that you work at the museum
<JosalynLyons> ((LOL <Josie> Yep. Magic beer…))
<TrinaKorat> ((ROFL))
<SherryJeffries> ::assuming the other agents are in said kitchen, he spots them and approaches the small group::
<JosalynLyons> Why don’t you write a report about how your… brother enjoys swords and naming them? ::says a bit sarcastically::
<JosalynLyons> ::looks over to Jeffries:: Oh no, don’t tell me… he’s a really big foot who’s turned into a kat by a kiss from some fairy princess?
<Alex_SK> Hey, all the greatest swordsmiths gave their sword names…Didn’t you ever read the stories of King Arthur and Excaliber?
<SherryJeffries> ::pauses and arches a brow at Josie’s words::
<JosalynLyons> Yes, but that’s fiction. This is reality. We’re a law enforcement agency, not a blacksmiths.
<SherryJeffries> Um, *ahem,* hello.
<TrinaKorat> ::whews, is happy to take off her high heels and back into her boots. Decides to just throw on a reg. shirt and jeans::
<MangaSK> :: Laughs:: Yeah! like my cricket bat I got from Victoria ( it was Victoria right?) it’s called Excallibat..and :: to S.J:: Hiya ^_^
<JosalynLyons> ::looks at Jeffries:: Hello. Please tell me you didn’t used to be Big Foot.
<Alex_SK> ::See’s Sherry:: Hi, I don’t think we’ve met before. I’m Agent Alex Weathers…and you are? ::With heavy British accent::
<Alex_SK> ((And yes it was Victoria))
<SherryJeffries> Big Foot? Um, not a chance. What gave you that idea. ::notes Alex’s accent and can’t contain a smile. A fellow Brit!::
<JosalynLyons> ::quirks brow, looks at Jeffries. assumes perhaps he’s new as well?::
<JosalynLyons> You’re… new here, Agent Jeffries?
<SherryJeffries> My name is Agent Jeffries, Sherringford Jeffries. And yes, I’m new here.
<JosalynLyons> ::reads his tag yeah that’s it XD::
<SherryJeffries> ((How’d she know his name before he told her? lol))
<JosalynLyons> ((lol that’s why I stuck that in there XD ::was like dur hur::))
<MangaSK> (( LOL!! she must be phychic))
<SherryJeffries> ((Oop))
<SherryJeffries> In fact today is my first day.
<JosalynLyons> Oh well, Agent Weathers has been explaining to me some most interesting things. Watch out. We’re new here so he’s having fun.
<JosalynLyons> This is my first day as well.
<SherryJeffries> ::he nods:: And you are?
<JosalynLyons> I’m agent Josalyn Lyons. ::offers paw for shake::
<SherryJeffries> ::shakes:: Pleased to meet you. You too, Agent Weathers.
<MangaSK> :: Jumps up:: Hello there sir, and ma’am
<TrinaKorat> ::comes in finally, tying up her hair:: Ah. I see you’ve all met.
<SherryJeffries> ::looks at Manga:: Oh, hi.
<Alex_SK> Most people just call me Alex…except my sister Kathryn…She always has to call me Alexander…it annoys me
<SherryJeffries> Why? I think it’s a very regal name.
<Alex_SK> You haven’t heard my full name
<MangaSK> :: Smiles:: I’m Alex’s little half sister, Manga Elizabeth, Wild Weathers……e-heh heh ^_^;;;
<SherryJeffries> ::chuckles:: That’s a mouthful.
<Alex_SK> Oh try this…Alexander Cameron Weathers Le Bon The Third…
<JosalynLyons> ::smiles a bit but sighs. looks to Trina and salutes!::
<MangaSK> E-heh well it *was* originally Manga Elizabeth Weathers before I was separated from my parents
<JosalynLyons> Ma’am yes ma’am. But may I ask you a question?
<TrinaKorat> ::small chuckle, goes to get some coffee:: You don’t have to do that, Lyons. ::smiles:: And, shoot.
<SherryJeffries> ::spots something on the table:: Ooh, donuts.
<SherryJeffries> ::walks towards the table without saying anything else as though pulled by an invisible magnetic force::
<JosalynLyons> ::stops saluting:: Is agent Weathers insane or was he really once possessed by a demon as he says?
<Alex_SK> Oh no, another Donut addict
<MangaSK> :: Shudders at the memory of Alex being possessed::
<SherryJeffries> Demon? ::said as he stuffs a chocolate donut with rainbow sprinkles into his mouth:: And what’s with the sword?
<SherryJeffries> ((<Alex> ::flips out from too many people asking about the sword and slices them all up::))
<JosalynLyons> ((<Alex> Stop… staring at me! I’m not a FREEEEAK! ::grabs a nearby Cyberkat:: HERE! HERE is a FREAK!!! ::leaves in a huff::))
<Alex_SK> The sword is called Witchblade, I made it because I don’t like guns
<SherryJeffries> ((lol))
<TrinaKorat> ::blinks, then looks to Alex in that “spill it out to everybody, why don’t you?” look:: I’m afraid so.
<TrinaKorat> ::says this calmly::
<MangaSK> It’s not something we like to remember
<SherryJeffries> Well, forgive me if I offend you, but in this day of long-range weapons, what good is a close-quarters weapon?
<JosalynLyons> And why is he using swords? I know you said the MBI was on a bit of a budget cut and the weapons weren’t as high tech but… a sword? That’s not proper regulation weaponry, Lieutenant, ma’am.
<SherryJeffries> I mean.. ::pauses to swallow the bite of donut:: …what if you go up against some criminals who all have guns?
<TrinaKorat> It all depends on the carrier, Agent Lyons. ::offers her some coffee, waves her outside so they can talk and so that she isn’t near to hurt Alex XD::
<MangaSK> Heh I don’t really have many weapons….I’m not allowed to have any (( that’s the advantage of her being young :p ))
<Alex_SK> Oh I have a ranged weapon ::Rolls up a sleeve showing them his wrist mounted mini-crossbow:: Fires tank darts, flares and plain old steel tips
<JosalynLyons> ((<Alex> STOPIT! ::hugs Trina:: make ‘em stoooop. <Manga> Leave my brother alone! ::kicks them in the shins::)
<TrinaKorat> ((::DEAD::))
<MangaSK> (( LOL!! ))
<SherryJeffries> ::reaches for another donut as soon as the first is gone – somebody stop the madness!::
<SherryJeffries> I see.
<Alex_SK> ((DEAD at Josie))
<JosalynLyons> ::chuckles:: Well that’s because you’re too young and not an agent dear. ^_^ ::says nicely to Manga, ’cause isn’t aware about her. is waved outside by Trina. already has a cup of coffee::
<SherryJeffries> ::finds it odd Alex dislikes guns, yet carries a crossbow, when both pretty much have the same principle, but keeps his donut-filled mouth shut::
<MangaSK> :: smiles:: <Nope..I’m a Vigilante..in training ^_^;;;; >
<SherryJeffries> ((<Sherry> The only difference is one goes bang, the other goes twang. <Alex> Twang sounds better.))
<TrinaKorat> Another regulation I forgot to mention, and pardon my lack thereof, is that if an agent does bring his/her own weapon, they’re allowed to use it. As long they stick to our no kill policy, he or she is fine. Alex carries a sword due to his hatred for weapons. Another one of our agents carries a crossbow as that’s what she feels more comfortable with.
<MangaSK> (( :: DEADATKOOSHIE:: ))
<JosalynLyons> ((::diies:: <Alex> I like mah twang noise! Listen! ::shoots a few arrows:: <Manga> <Just keeep smiling Manga. He will be alright someday>))
<MangaSK> (( :: DEADDEADDEAD!!!!!:: ))
<SherryJeffries> At any rate, why the dislike of guns, if I may ask?
<SherryJeffries> They’re deadly weapons as much as swords are.
<TrinaKorat> ((::SOOOODEAD!::))
<MangaSK> :: Just doing handstands::
<JosalynLyons> But… City Hall has approved of that?
<Alex_SK> With a gun, you can only kill. I use the trank darts for my cross bow, I can bring a perp down without killing them and as for the sword…Well I come from a long line of knights. The sword is in their honour
<SherryJeffries> Ah, I see. ::nods::
<TrinaKorat> ::smiles:: It’s probably the only thing they’ve managed to approve. As long as we don’t have rocket launchers and nuclear bombs, we’re alright… We made sure every agent came with a license.
<SherryJeffries> Why not carry a specialized gun that fires darts? More efficient.
<SherryJeffries> ::is this guy a spokesman for the NRA or what?::
<Alex_SK> ((<Jess>::Storms out and smacks Sherry:: That’s My Job!!!))
<SherryJeffries> ((lol))
<MangaSK> (( ROFL))
<JosalynLyons> ::nods:: Understood, Lt. And… how often do… demons possess kats around here? ::Nervous look::
<JosalynLyons> ((::laughs!::))
<TrinaKorat> ::smiles warmly:: Don’t let Agent Weathers scare you, Lyons… ::small sigh:: He’s.. had a tough background… ::and if my mun ever gets off her lazy keister, she outta dig up those logs::
<SherryJeffries> ((<Demon> Booga booga booga! <Josie> Eeee! <Ghostbusters> ::trap the spook:: <Trina> Very often, but as you can see it doesn’t matter..))
<TrinaKorat> ((DEAD))
<Alex_SK> ((<Alex> ::Starts counting on fingers::))
<JosalynLyons> ((::diiies::))
<TrinaKorat> ((::dies!::))
<MangaSK> :: Then rolls onto the floor:: Yack! owie
<JosalynLyons> And he mentioned something about… almost blowing up? I have heard the MBI takes a beating… that insurance policy I took been approved yet?
<SherryJeffries> ::Looks at Manga:: You alright?
<MangaSK> E-heh yeah I’m alright…..I normally do this when I’m bored …<Aside from making a small magic ball and bouncing it>
<Alex_SK> You want weird, you should meet my sister Victoria. She’s a practicing witch and she’s currently a roadie for the Corrs
<TrinaKorat> ::chuckles:: It’s not too often, Agent Lyons. Trust me. Once you get to know your place around the Bureau, it’ll be like you’ve been here all your life.
<JosalynLyons> I hope so… I was hoping this would be more like Enforcer HQ… I can already see things are going to be much different.
<Alex_SK> If you want orderly around here, there’s a mental home down the street. They’ve got plenty of orderlies
<JosalynLyons> ((<Jeffries> What’s the address? ::starts to write it down. gonna pay them a visit and have them come to the MBI::))
<SherryJeffries> ::finishes his third donut, and then decides a cup of coffee is in order, so over to the possessed machine he goes, glancing at Alex as he goes::
<TrinaKorat> ::smiles:: A lot different… ::as she leads her to her office:: And, in regards to the swords, Agent Weathers was telling the truth…
<SherryJeffries> ((::dead::))
<TrinaKorat> ((::DEAD::))
<SherryJeffries> ((<Sherry> Yeah, take the sword guy and the girl….they’re loco!))
<SherryJeffries> I prefer to stay away from the Megakat Asylum, myself.
<JosalynLyons> You have one, Ma’am?
<JosalynLyons> ((::laughs::))
<SherryJeffries> ((<Blade from He-Man> ::likes Alex!:: <Blade from…well, Blade> ::ditto::))
<JosalynLyons> ((LOL!!))
<TrinaKorat> ::nods: Agent Weathers gave it to me as a gift not too long ago… I’m still trying to master it… Heaven knows when that day will come. ::goes and picks out a broadsword from a scabbard on the wall, gold hilt with a bluish stone in the middle:: This would be Silverlight.
<JosalynLyons> ::looks it over. <Well… if the Lt. has one and is making sure the others are using them properly… I guess it’s alright.>:: I see. Speaking of weapons, I don’t have one with me, as I had to return my blaster when I was… dismissed.
<SherryJeffries> ::has his own shooty-thing already::
<SherryJeffries> ::looks up at the others from the coffee machine::
<SherryJeffries> ::gets dang cup of coffee and follows them, I guess, curious::
<TrinaKorat> ::nods, puts away Silverlight:; Then allow me to show you the armory.
<JosalynLyons> ::nods. follows her to the armory. Runs into Jeffries perhaps? ‘n Alex ‘n Manga come out too mebbe?::
<SherryJeffries> ::eeps, almost spills his coffee:: You guys just can’t keep still, can you? ::chuckles::
<Manga> :: Makes a small orb of magic and bounces it, got bored::
<TrinaKorat> ::chuckles:: I was about to issue Agent Lyons her weapon, Agent. Jeffries. If you could follow us…
<JosalynLyons> Still? This place is quiet compared to Enforcer HQ. ::words a char can soon learn to regret XD::
<TrinaKorat> ((I Keep calling her “Lysol!” ::wails::))
<SherryJeffries> Alright. ::sips his coffee and makes a face as he follows after them::
<SherryJeffries> ((<Sherry> Call this crap coffee?! ::takes out Jeffries’ Java coffee:: THIS is coffee!))
<Alex_SK> Just watch out for the locker in there marked “Alex’s Spares” okay?
<TrinaKorat> ::leads them to the armory, unlocks it after much combination turning::
<SherryJeffries> ((<Sherry> Why, is it booby-trapped or something? *wa-CHANG!* Aaaaah! My hands! <Alex> Yes.))
<JosalynLyons> ((::diiies:: Well she is neat and clean.))
<TrinaKorat> ((::DEAD::))
<JosalynLyons> ((::dead::))
<JosalynLyons> ::follows her and enters the armory when she does::
<SherryJeffries> ::just kind of mills about, sipping coffee, unsure of exactly what he should be doing. After all, he’s new::
<Manga> :: Bouncing the orb::
<TrinaKorat> Alrighty. We have your standards… Glocks, Magnums… pick one you’d feel the most comfortable with.
<Alex_SK> ((<Alex>::Sounding like Info-mercial man:: And new for this season, the 44 Desert Eagle))
<SherryJeffries> If I recall, the MBI is an independent group. May I ask who funds us? ::looking at all the guns::
<SherryJeffries> ((<Trina> A Mr. D. Ark Katt. <DK> ::evil chuckle from the shadows, plotting their downfall))
<JosalynLyons> ::uuuuh… doesn’t want a huge gun XD mun knows nothing about them. wants a pistol sized one yes so what would that be? XD::
<TrinaKorat> ((:DEAD::))
<JosalynLyons> ((::diiiees::))
<TrinaKorat> City Hall… Plus, we have a couple connections with Puma Dyne…
<SherryJeffries> The weapons lab? Impressive.
<Alex_SK> ::A big locker marked “Alex’s Spares” suddenly comes open in an avalanche of swords, daggers, axes and pieces of armour::
<SherryJeffries> Yikes! ::blinks at the array of old weaponry::
<Alex_SK> Sorry. As you can see, I make a lot of these. Most of them I sell, but they still pile up
<JosalynLyons> Gah! ::takes her pistol she took ‘n aims it at the locker in reflex of the loud noise XD::
<JosalynLyons> ::sighs relaxes stands straight::
<SherryJeffries> Might want to buy a new locking mechanism for the door.
<MangaSK> :: Ducks as one well armed smack makes the ball rebound off the wall:: Ack!
<TrinaKorat> ::rubs her eyes:: I think I better assign you a bigger locker, Alex..
<JosalynLyons> ::holsters her gun in her side holster. thinks it’ll be a good one::
<Alex_SK> Yeah…::Picks up a wicked looking battle axe:: Wow, I didn’t know I even still had this one
<JosalynLyons> Is all this reallly necessary, Mr. I Don’t Like Weapons? ::paws on hips::
<MangaSK> :: catches it;: I’ll just think it lucky no-one saw that…….otherwise I’d have a heck of a lot explaining to do
<SherryJeffries> I think he means he just doesn’t like modern weapons..
<JosalynLyons> Oh.
<Alex_SK> I said I don’t like guns. Not that I don’t like weapons. Besides, most of these I made for sale. I sell these to collectors, museums, historical societies, even a few movie studios
<JosalynLyons> And you store them in the MBI headquarters? Someone could have been hurt if they were standing there. Maybe even your little sister.
<SherryJeffries> Impressive.
<SherryJeffries> Calm down, Lyons. ::hand on her shoulder:: It was just a faulty lock, that’s all.
<Alex_SK> And besides…didn’t you see the lock on the Armoury door ::Points to what has to be the biggest combination padlock in the northern hemisphere::
<JosalynLyons> ::sighs. is just on edge as she’s adjusting to the newness of it all:: I suppose your right. I’m just not used to all this sort of thing.
<MangaSK> :: Just sitting there eating a donut::
<Alex_SK> ::To Trina:: I don’t know about you, but I think we’d best have a crash team on standby for when she meets Trix and Sy
<SherryJeffries> ::looks up from studying the bottom of his cup:: Who?
<MangaSK> :: Smiles:: Sypher and Matrix..their two agents here
<TrinaKorat> ::lays a hand on Josie’s shoulder:: It’s alright. :smiles:: We’ll show you the ropes. ::then to Sherry:: Two of our… unique agents.
<JosalynLyons> ::strike the last “who?” since Manga explained::
<SherryJeffries> Ah, I see.
<JosalynLyons> What’s so unique about them?
<MangaSK> Oooooooh..well…um..:: Looks to Trina:: Ms. Trina?
<SherryJeffries> Yeah.
<TrinaKorat> You two do recall Hard Drive?
<JosalynLyons> ::nods:: Yes. A most serious threat indeed.
<JosalynLyons> Why?
<JosalynLyons> ::kept up with all the “super criminal” files::
<TrinaKorat> Think of them as Hard Drive, but without the surge coat, and on our side.
<MangaSK> :: Nods::
<SherryJeffries> ::only knows a bit about Hard Drive::
<TrinaKorat> ::as she helps pick up Alex’ weaponry::
<SherryJeffries> He was that computerized techno-thief that had a thing for Puma-Dyne, right?
<TrinaKorat> Exactly.
<SherryJeffries> AH, I’ve heard of him.
<JosalynLyons> Lieutenant… permission to speak freely?
<Alex_SK> Just try to remember that Sypher is the friendly one and Matrix is likely to bite your head off
<SherryJeffries> ::nods:: Right.
<MangaSK> Awwwww Matrix isn’t that bad
<TrinaKorat> Permission granted. ::to Josie::
<JosalynLyons> I really wish that you all wouldn’t speak in riddles. Are you saying that they’re criminals? And what do you mean by “without the surge coat”? Are they enhanced in some way… electrically? This is all giving me a headache.
<SherryJeffries> Hmm, they have the electrical powers without he enhancing clothing?
<TrinaKorat> ::nods:: Exactly. They’re cybernetic beings comprised of pure binary. In short, they’re computer programs, but with a will of their own. And, they’re part of our bureau.
<SherryJeffries> Androids?
<SherryJeffries> Oh, wait…
<TrinaKorat> Nope.
<SherryJeffries> I see. ::nods::
<JosalynLyons> …. mind explaining that in english, ma’am?
<JosalynLyons> Or better yet are one of them around?
<SherryJeffries> They’re like holograms, in a way, it seems. ::to Josie::
<TrinaKorat> :is about to say something, when Matrix zaps in and CLINGS to Trina::
<Matrix> She’s gone crazy!!!!!
<SherryJeffries> ((Boy, Sherry’s like Mr. Explain It All, and Josie’s Miss Ask It All))
<MangaSK> Matrix!!! …huh? who’s gone crazy?
<JosalynLyons> ((::diiies Jeffries::))
<JosalynLyons> O.o! ::backs up a few steps::
<Alex_SK> Um Trix, what have I told you about being a little wuss?
<SherryJeffries> ::furrows his brows and drops the coffee cup::
<SherryJeffries> What the-
<Matrix> ::literally wrapped around Trina, then glares at Alex:: You’d be too if you had some crazed cyberdemon trying to fry your tail! ::means Prot, that okay, Annumun? ^_^::
<MangaSK> Prot?
<Protocol>::sure! mwhahahaha! shall she make an appearance or stay outta the plot other than by mentioning of the name?::
<SherryJeffries> Cyberdemon? :;looks at Josie in that “What the heck?!” glance::
<MangaSK> Who’s Prot?
<JosalynLyons> ::returns Jeffries’ look like “I have not a clue”::
<MangaSK> :: has never met her before::
<SherryJeffries> I had a friend in high school name Prot… ::absently, still trying to take all this in::
<SherryJeffries> Prot Thompson, star quarterback.
<JosalynLyons> ((<Leo>::runs in:: TROLL LADY! ::runs out::))
<MangaSK> (( :: DEAD!:: ))
<Alex_SK> If his nick name was Flash, I would have to kick your bum all the way back to Blighty ::To Sherry::
<TrinaKorat> ((DEAD)
<Protocol>::zaaaaps into the room:: Alright Matrix! Quit running!!
<SherryJeffries> Um, not actually. His nickname was Nuke.
<TrinaKorat> ::ba-links:: Protocol? ::muffled::
<Matrix> You get outta this place! This is between you and me! ::issa rather singed::
<SherryJeffries> Another one…?
<MangaSK> Huh?!
<Protocol>::solidifies:: YOU ran IN HERE, you bloody MORON!
<SherryJeffries> ::says that rather absently, too, kind of mentally fatigued from the first one::
<JosalynLyons> ::hides behind Sherry::
<Alex_SK> You Cybers seem to spring up like mushrooms
<SherryJeffries> Hey-!
<JosalynLyons> <G>
<TrinaKorat> ((<Alex and Manga> ::sigh:: <Newbies> ::cower, clinging, screaming: It’s a MADHOUSE!!!))
<SherryJeffries> ((<Fungusface> ::takes offense at that!))
<JosalynLyons> ((::diies::))
<Matrix> ::snarls, lets go Trina, who stumbles back to the floor::
<Alex_SK> ::Unsheathes his sword with a flash of steel, holding it low to the ground in defensive posture::
<MangaSK> (( :: DEAD!:: ))
<Protocol>::blinks at Alex:: Well, I’ve heard of low tech but this is ridiculous. ::chuckles::
<SherryJeffries> ::is totally confused! he’s walked into a war that’s already started and hasn’t a clue what’s going on::
<MangaSK> :: The same::
<JosalynLyons> ::nor does she! Why’d you think I hid behind you? XD::
<Alex_SK> Still high tech enough to kick you butt all the way to Tienimen Square!
<SherryJeffries> ::but just to make it seem like he’s got an inkling of sense, pulls his gun, but doesn’t do anything else::
<MangaSK> Um….:: Makes a small orb to attack whoever’s attacking::
<MatrixSK> Everybody stay back… this is between the two of us… ::snarling, eyes glowing yellow::
<Protocol> Awww isn’t this cute? New agents I’ve not met before. Oh Matrix, you are so rude. Aren’t you going to give me a proper introduction?
<MatrixSK> What? and let you fry them?!
<SherryJeffries> Okay, now I’ve seen everything… ::shakes his head::
<JosalynLyons> ::pulls out her gun as well. looking at them both wearily::
<Protocol> ::folds arms:: tsk tsk tsk. I’ve not done a thing to any of them. ::sends to Matrix <Yet>::
<MangaSK> :: Just looks puzzled::
<Alex_SK> Oh c’mon. If you know anything about us, then you’ll know about my stubborn refusal to die
<SherryJeffries> ((<Trina> Yeah, he’s like that Mustafa guy..))
<MatrixSK> <Outside… now. I’m not taking this in here with innocent people.>
<MangaSK> Um….what’s going on?
<SherryJeffries> ((<Alex> Oh, the pain! But I….I’m still alive! Only I’m very….badly burned..))
<Protocol>::laughs at Alex:: My dear biological, ALL of you seem to have that same refusal. ::looks at Trina:: Some more than others. ::ha about McGrath. then looks at Matrix:: <Innocent? They all are hired to try and stop beings like me. They should know the risks.>
<JosalynLyons> ((::dies::)
<TrinaKorat> ::snarls::
<SherryJeffries> ::just kind of hangs back and watches this transpire::
<MatrixSK> <To me they are. Either you take this outside right now or I’m forcing you.>
<JosalynLyons> ::hopes Jeffries is a good shot… then wonders if guns even affect these things…::
<MangaSK> Matrix…Ms. Trina…who is this Protocol?
<Protocol><Ooooh> ::chuckles:: <Force me, Matrix.> ::eyes flash blue, electricity flickers from her finger tips::
<Alex_SK> Enough posturing ::does Jedi style, horizontal mid-air cartwheel kick aimed at Prot::
<SherryJeffries> ::hmmms, takes it that this Prot is the bad one::
<MatrixSK> ::yellow light dances around his hands, then ba-links at Alex:: Don’t!
<MangaSK> ALEX!!
<Protocol>O.o! ::manages to duck barely avoiding that:: <On second thought, yes. Lets finish our dance outside, shall we?> ::goes acoherent again and zaps outta the room via a plug hole. goes outside in the back of MBI HQ::
<JosalynLyons> ::blinks:: Where’d she go?
<MatrixSK> ::growls!!!!!, zaps outside after her::
<JosalynLyons> And where’s he going?
<TrinaKorat> Well… ::at the empty room:: does… that offer explanation to what they are? ::to Sherry and Josie::
<SherryJeffries> ::runs to the plug hole and blinks:: Who knows?
<SherryJeffries> They could be anywhere!
<Alex_SK> ::Lands on his feet in a crouch. The blade of his sword caught Prot when she was acoherent and has picked up a charge from her, making it spark with electricity for a moment:: Well at least a got a piece of her
<JosalynLyons> … yes… but I’m not sure I like this.
<SherryJeffries> ::holsters his gun and hurries from the armory room, for no particular reason than that he’s caught up the excitement::
<JosalynLyons> ::peers at Alex’s sword::
<TrinaKorat> Don’t underestimate her, Alex.
<Alex_SK> I don’t intend to. I needed to get a feel for her energy signature ::Can still sense people’s souls…Left over from the possession thing::
<MatrixSK> ::uh oh. Does that mean he can sense their feelings, too? XD:: ((<Trina> :runs and hides::))
<Protocol>::and she leaves behind an odd one XD since she’s souled but still trying to figure it out and still has evil tendencies due to DK’s influence::
<JosalynLyons> ((::dies:: Whaaaaaa? ::leeeans::))
<MatrixSK> ((::points to Alex:: He started it! XD))
<JosalynLyons> And how will that help, Agent Weathers? Can you track her?
<Alex_SK> Yes, I have a rough feeling for her now…
<Protocol>::woo hoo! is out rumbling with Matrix XD he’s fun to play with!::
<JosalynLyons> So… how do we defeat them, Lt>
<MatrixSK> ::dodges a few blasts::
<SherryJeffries> ::walks back into the room, having overheard the part about Alex being able to sense them:: Any idea where they might have gone?
<SherryJeffries> ((::finds it funny they’re right outside lol::))
<JosalynLyons> After all, Hard Drive’s weakness was his surge coat… but how can we defeat something that well… doesn’t remove their coats… regardless of having one?
<Alex_SK> ((::Suddenly the whole building shakes:: Or we could just follow the explosions…))
<Protocol>::tries to wrap her acoherent self around Matrix XD::
<JosalynLyons> ((LOL!!))
<Knight_SK> ::Closes his eyes and concentrates:: They’re a few blocks from here…That way ::Points::
<SherryJeffries> Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s go!
<SherryJeffries> ((<Sherry> ::grabs ghost trap from the Ghostbusters, who trapped the demon earlier:: This’ll stop her!))
<JosalynLyons> Wait! I’m waiting for something to USE against them!
<Alex_SK> ((<Alex> ::Clouts Him:: Not that kind of demon))
<TrinaKorat> Water. Don’t hurt Agent Matrix.
<JosalynLyons> ((::dies::))
<SherryJeffries> ((::opens the trap, and lets out the demon:: Oops, forgot about him… <Demon> Booga booga booga! <Prot/Trix> Aaaaaah!))
<MatrixSK> ::growls, tries to push her away::
<JosalynLyons> ::nods:: Right. ::hurries out of the HQ and towards Trix ‘n Prot::
<SherryJeffries> Alright then, let’s get a hose.
<JosalynLyons> ((::DIES!::))
<SherryJeffries> ::grabs a handy fire extinguisher on the wall instead and rushes out after Josie::
<Protocol><What’s the matter Matrix? I thought you liked being close?> ::chuckles tries to squeeeze the breath outta him if he’s still solid:
<Alex_SK> ::Resheathes sword on his back and sprints out the building towards Prot and Sy::
<JosalynLyons> ::makes way down the street. spots ‘em and searches for a fire hydrant::
<MatrixSK> ::snarls, manages to go acoherent and leaps outta her grip: <I’m not that kind of guy.>
<SherryJeffries> ::close at Josie’s heels, trying to figure out how to make the extinguisher, um, squirt::
<Alex_SK> ::Unsheathes sword and slices the locking thing off the top of the extinguisher::
<SherryJeffries> Yaaaah! :;drops it in reflex::
<Protocol><Oh really? Iiiiii have a feeling you’re not admitting something.> ::grin::
<SherryJeffries> Never do that again.
<MatrixSK> <Admitting what, you crazy she-kat?!>
<SherryJeffries> Without telling me first, anyway.
<JosalynLyons> ::trying to unscrew the thing on the side of the fire hydrant::
<Alex_SK> What works works ::kicking the extinguisher towards Prot and Sy::
<Protocol> <Hmmm… some of those mysterious feelings of yours…> ::lashes out at him::
<JosalynLyons> ((<Sypher> Hey! Leave me outta this! ))
<MatrixSK> <That’s none of your concern!>
<Protocol>::gets sprayed with some of the CO2 and yelps!! goes solid again and leans against the side of the wall:: Why you little… ::raises paws, attempts to zap them with a couple of bolts, but since more than one target, aim is off::
<Protocol>::can send a couple of lightning like bolts at peeps using her energy. ^_^ dodge ‘em boy!::
<SherryJeffries> ::so, dodges!:: Yaaaah!
<MatrixSK> ::sends her a couple of blasts:
<Alex_SK> ::Puts up sword, deflecting the incoming blast away so it strikes a wall:: Now, what were you saying about Witchblade?
<SherryJeffries> ::growls and gets up, and runs to the fire hydrant where Josie is::
<JosalynLyons> That its not so bad for a non-regulation weapon. ::grins pries off the fire hydrant cover:: Look out Matrix! <spray of water>::fliiies woosh towards them all XD::
<MatrixSK> Crud!!!! ::is nailed::
<Protocol>::dodges blast one, hit by second into spraying water gaaaah goes flying::
<JosalynLyons> Whuh oh… ::tries to put the cover back on:: c’mon get on there… :
<SherryJeffries> Oh, crap! ::gets thrown back by the powerful jet of water, knocked off his feet and falls flat on his back, the jet spraying over him toward Matrix and Prot::
<JosalynLyons> <cover>::pops off:: <Josie>crudcrudcrud… ^_^;;
<Protocol>::slammed against wall focusing to stay solid:: Gnnnnn!!
<SherryJeffries> ::rolls out from under the gushing spray of water and quickly gets to his feet, fur, hair, and clothing soaked!::
<MatrixSK> ::is plastered against the wall::
<JosalynLyons> Could someone help me shut this off?
<JosalynLyons> ::trying to replace the cover::
<SherryJeffries> ::runs back to Josie again, fumbles with the cover::
<MatrixSK> ::aaand, just about bursts into twenty thousand molecules::
<SherryJeffries> ::finally gets it back on, stopping the water::
<JosalynLyons> Thanks… ::is soaking wet herself::
<Protocol>::slumps down panting. soaking wet::
<SherryJeffries> Don’t mention it.
<MatrixSK> ::tries to pull himself together::
<SherryJeffries> ::walks to Matrix and gasps:: Is he going to be alright…?
<Knight_SK> CRUD ON A STICK !!! You okay Trix?
<Protocol>::Busts up laughing seeing Matrix:: Oh my thank you so much! ::grrs tries to step on one of the lil’ Matrix bloo peices:: Not so fast, “Trixie” <g>
<MatrixSK> <Help…>
<SherryJeffries> ::pulls his gun and points it at Prot:: Freeze. I don’t know if bullets will hurt you, but let’s not find out shall we?
<SherryJeffries> Weathers, are these things, um… cuffable?
<Protocol>::mrrrs. IS able to be shot when solid… can’t go acoherent when she’s wet or she’ll end up like Matrix.:: fine. Have it your way. ::backs up then makes a run for it! XD::
<Alex_SK> So long as they stay solid…:
<SherryJeffries> ::growls and is soon racing after her:: Come back! Or I’ll shoot!
<MatrixSK> ::finally manages to become solid:: Ow…. my head…
<Protocol>::dodges down to a crowded street. pushes past the katizens::
<JosalynLyons> ::goes over to Matrix:: Oh I’m so sorry, the thing popped off and then I realized you were in the way and… ::ears droop::
<SherryJeffries> Rrrrr! ::is determined not to let the villain escape, as he rushes after her, shoving past the kats too::
<MatrixSK> S’okay! ::to Josie:: (Ow) At least you (ow) managed to weaken her…
<Alex_SK> ::Sprints with Sherry after Prot, pulling up his sleeve and loading a trank dart into his crossbow::
<Protocol>::ducks into a hair salon. uses a dryer there to dry off::
<SherryJeffries> ::stops, unsure where she went since there’s so many kats::
<JosalynLyons> ::pokes at Matrix like a kid with a stick does to some foreign object XD:: You sure you’re okay? ::blink blink::
<SherryJeffries> Crud! I can’t believe this…
<Alex_SK> ::Stops and closes his eyes:: I can feel her…That way ::Points::
<MatrixSK> I’ll be fine. Just… help me up… ::stands shakily::
<SherryJeffries> ::looks in the direction of the salon and spots Prot through the big window all those places have::
<SherryJeffries> There!
<JosalynLyons> ::takes one of his arms putting it over her shoulders. helps him to stand::
<MatrixSK> Not bad for your first day, huh?
<Protocol>::finally dried off. glares at patrons:: What are YOU looking at? ::hrmphs, goes outside thinking she lost ‘em::
<SherryJeffries> ::sprints towards the salon all valiant and such!::
<JosalynLyons> … more like not good. ::sheepish smile as she walks him back to the MBI building::
<Old Ladies in the Salon> ::blinkblinkblink::
<Old Ladies> ::scream!!::
<SherryJeffries> ::blinks at screaming old ladies::
<Alex_SK> ::Throws himself through the door, firing the trank dark from his crossbow at Prot::
<SherryJeffries> ::enters after Alex, pointing his gun all around the room, probably scaring the patrons even more::
<Old Ladies> You sneaks! You brutes! ::start smacking Alex and Sherry with purses and such::
<Protocol> Oh bloody- ::grrrs goes acoherent when she spots Sherry. tranq dart goes through her XD:: Whot tha? ::growls:: Sorry, I’ve not in the mood to play anymore! So unless you want me to cook these katizens like crumpets, I suggest you back off!
<MatrixSK> Naw. ::can be awful cynical, but he’s mellowed over the years::
<JosalynLyons> ((::dying old ladies::))

<MatrixSK> ((::dying:))
<SherryJeffries> ::panting:: You okay?
<JosalynLyons> ((They’re upset because Feral bought the last box of prune donuts from the local Dunkin Donuts))
<MatrixSK> Thanks. So… how did you like your first day?
<JosalynLyons> So what’s with that lady… she an Ex Girlfriend or something?
<MatrixSK> thankfully, no.
<SherryJeffries> ((lol Then they should maul Enforcers, not MBI))
<Alex_SK> Yeah ::Wincing:: Who would have thought people that old could hit so hard…If I had wanted this kind of agro I could have stayed home and visited mad granny Postelthwait
<JosalynLyons> ((LOL))
<SherryJeffries> Thanks to them, that….electro-wacko got away.
<MatrixSK> Just someone bent on frying me.
<JosalynLyons> I’m still deciding, agent Matrix. ::has a towel for herself. sits at the table and dries off her hair::
<JosalynLyons> Just… how many of them are there? And how many want to “fry” you?
<Alex_SK> ::As he and Sherry walk up, battered and bruised:: Just another to add to the long list of girls Trix has trouble with

<Alex_SK> And here I was thinking that this couldn’t be any worse than *my* first day
<SherryJeffries> Don’t suppose anybody’s got some spare, dry clothes and a towel?
<JosalynLyons> The towels are near the bathrooms in that hall closet there, Agent Jeffries.
<JosalynLyons> I dread to think what your first day even was, Agent Weathers.
<MatrixSK> Locker rooms. ::to Sherry::
<SherryJeffries> Thank you.
<Alex_SK> If anyone wants me…I’ll be writing a letter to my grandparents…::Goes::
<SherryJeffries> ::goes into the locker room::
<JosalynLyons> ::sighs as she finishes drying her hair. pats her face with the towel::
<MatrixSK> You’ll get used to it…
<JosalynLyons> It worries me when so many of you tell me that, Agent Matrix.
