Attitude Adjustment

<Matrix> ::leaps outta nowhere to tackle Sy:: Incoming!!

<SypherSK> ::had, thankfully, set aside the paper he was carrying, sensing Trix malicious little mood::
<SypherSK> Gah!  ::flails convincingly to make Trix’ sneak attack more fun…  tho’ it’s next to impossible to sneak up on someone who can read your mind::
<Matrix> Well, hello down there… ::grins::
<SypherSK> Hello. ::propping himself on one elbox::
<SypherSK> Have you escaped from Static and Kaeru?
<Matrix> ::sits on his back:: What makes you think that? Kaeru, yes. Static… she’s still hunting… hide me.
<SypherSK> Oh dear….  We-ell…  You could just leap into me…
<SypherSK> ::hey, anything’s better’n Trix’ shrieks and whining::
<Matrix> And letting you get away without my whining?  Ohhhhhhh…whyyyyyyyyyy do you have to be soooooooooo meaaaaaaaaaaannn??
<SypherSK> ::smacksmack::
<SypherSK> ::Sage, you fiend… and infidel::
<Matrix> Ow, ow. ::Mua haha!! Thank you! Thank you! ::bows::::
<SypherSK> We-ell…. We could go out somewhere…  Want me to ask Jase if he left anything in the hotel on his last trip to Macedonia?
<JasonKorat> Har, har… You sure you don’t wanna ship me to Abu Dhabi while yer at it?
<SypherSK> Now, that could be fun… ::rolls, flipping Trix off::
<Matrix> ::lands on his tush:: Why you! ::tackles anew:
<SypherSK> ::flings his hands up to “catch” Trix onna beam of energy::
<Matrix> Hey! Force field doesn’t count!
<SypherSK> Whyever not?  ::adds enough power to give it force and send Trix flying… but not enough to really fling him hard::
<Matrix> ::lands into the wall acoherent:: Owie…
<SypherSK> ::stands::  <You okay?>
<Matrix> <But Mommy.. I don’t wanna go to school today…>
<SypherSK> ::feels beyond Trix’ conscious sending to his actual pain receptors::
<Matrix> <I wanna stay home and bake cookies with Sy all day…>
<SypherSK> ::grumbles at how well Trix is learning to keep him out as he digs in, honestly thinks the lil’ booger’s jus trying to bug him::
<SypherSK> ::as his mun dies::
<JasonKorat> ((::dies at that entry!:))
<Matrix> <And then force feed ‘em to ‘im…>
<SypherSK> <You really ARE intolerable, you know that?>
<SypherSK> ((::is dying::))
<Matrix> <While they’re nice and hot… ::mentally, is cracking up::>
<SypherSK> ::may have lost his master access… could probably get it back, but he wouldn’t dare invade Trix’ privacy like that… but he can still fight back:
<SypherSK> ::smirks… and sends Trix a big fat, snuggly, squishy memory of Jake’s from when he was two::
<Matrix> <And then I can tie him up and..> AYIIEEEEEEEEEYA!!!!!!!!!! ::leaps to the ceiling::
<SypherSK> Don’t you just love that warm feeling?
<Matrix> Grrrrrrrr…. Whhhhhhyyy are yoou sooooooo meaaaaaaaan?? Youuuuuu don’t fight faaaaaaaiiirr!!! ::just give him that evil grin::
<SypherSK> Fair as you do… ::searches his memory banks for anything he ought be doing::
<Matrix> ::leaps down from the ceiling: Cheater.
<SypherSK> No, YOU cheat.  I just try to improve your disposition.
<Matrix> Nyeh.
<SypherSK> ((<Jase> ::comes back from date with Jessie all dizzy::  I have a girlfriend…  <Trix> <Drat..  I was going to set him up with Static….>))
<JasonKorat> ((::DIESDIESDEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!::))
<JessieSK> ((::DIES!!!!!!!!::))
<JasonKorat> ((<Static> Set me up?! With Jason!? When I have you?! ::HUGS Trix::))
<JessieSK> ((::DIESDIESDEAD!!!!!!!::))
<SypherSK> ((::DIES!::  <Trix> He’s SHY! Can’t you work with that?!))
<JessieSK> ((<Trix> URK.. you sure she merged with Jessie for the 1st time???))
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> ::frankly, thinks she merged with a psychward outpatient and the story about Jessie is a coverup:: ))
<JessieSK> ((::Diesdiesdead!!! ))
<JasonKorat> ((::DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!::))
<JessieSK> ((::DEAD!!!:: HEY!! ::DIESROFLDEAD::))
<Matrix> ::Pauses, feels a flicker:: Uh oh…
<SypherSK> What?  Static?
<Matrix> Thanks for agreeing with my musings… ::ears drooped::
<SypherSK> ((<Sypher> ::always knows when Static’s around… can feel a disturbance in the Force… like the sound of a single voice crying out in terror… usually Trix’s::))
<JasonKorat> ((::DEAD, SY!::))
<JessieSK> ((::DIES!!::))
<Matrix> Take me to your hiding place…
<Katney> ((<Matrix> ::alien voice:: Take me to your fridge.))
<JasonKorat> Well… I… It’s late.. I better take you home…
<SypherSK> Just hop in a’ready.
<SypherSK> ((<Sypher> ::hearing the fridge thing::  Are you possessed by Max or what?!))
<Katney> ((::bows:: ))
<JessieSK> ((ROFL SY!!))
<Matrix> Yer a saint!! ::leaps in::
<SypherSK> ::makes himself busy and tells Static he thinks Trix’s hiding somewhere – when she comes by::
<Matrix> <That’s a nice guy… thanks, Sy…>
<SypherSK> <Hey, what’re brothers for?>
<JaseKorat> ((<Sy> However, he just finished what he was doing! ::”pushes” Trix out and has him land onna floor:: <Trix> YOU BENEDICT ARNOLD!))
<JessieSK> ((ROFLDEAD!!!))
<Matrix> <To bug every other day? ::grins::>
<SypherSK> <Well, that too… ::pause:: Every OTHER?  Don’t we have an extra word in there?>
<Matrix> <So?>
<SypherSK> <Hmmm….>
<Matrix> <What?>
<SypherSK> <Nothing…> ::finds a donut on the usual table and eats it::
<SypherSK> ::ambles toward the gym…  has about eight things running on the computer and you can’t ask a guy to be doing too much more than eight things at one time::
<Matrix> Is she gone?
<SypherSK> <She’s still wandering around…She’s got it bad…>
<JaseKorat> ((<Matrix> Is she gone? <Sy> Yeah, I got rid of her… <Matrix> Oh, boy, I’m rich! I’m wealthy!! ::hops out ala Daffy::))
<JessieSK> ((ROFLDEAD!!))
<KatneySK> ((::snicker::))
<SypherSK> ((::dies!::))
<Matrix> <Oh, brother…>
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> Now….  I just need a way to *kill* her…))
<SypherSK> <Awww… She likes you…>
<JaseKorat> ((::dies::))
<Matrix> <Gee, it took you that long to figure it out?>
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> She likes everything male… I just happen to fall in the category…))
<JaseKorat> ((::Dies::))
<JessieSK> ((DIES!!))
<SypherSK> <I was just pointing it out to you…>
<Matrix> That’s scary…
<SypherSK> <What?>
<Matrix> <It’s a scary thought…>
<SypherSK> <Awww…>
<SypherSK> ::picks up a basketball and dribbles it::
<Matrix> <Okay… I’m getting cramped…>
<SypherSK> <Well, you can get out anytime you like, but she’s not gone yet….>
<SypherSK> ::dribbledribbleshootscore::
<Matrix> <My legs are killing me… ::sighs and leaps out::>
<SypherSK> Your legs hurt when you’re acoherent?
<SypherSK> ((<Matrix> I can find pain and irritation in anything…  Watch me.))
<JessieSK> ((ROFL!!))
<Matrix> They got cramped… I went in with a very uncomfortable feeling…
<SypherSK> ::arches a brow, starts to ask something, but gets cut off as a transformer just outside blows up::
<Matrix> ::blinks, jumps a bit::
<SypherSK> ::smacked by the mild electromagnetic pulse it generates (EMP from henceforward cuz I’m lazy) blinks and staggers a little::  Ow…
<Matrix> ::was hit himself, staggers back to land on his tail:: That…hurt…
<SypherSK> ::rubs his head, grumbles:: Thought that wasn’t supposed to hurt when we were solid!
<JaseKorat> ::rubs his head and his eyes and back:: It wasn’t… Sy, are you okay?
<SypherSK> Yeah….  I guess…  ::notes that the lights are out:: Great…
<SypherSK> ::took him a few to note that as he sees infrared and ultraviolet too::
<Matrix> What in the world was that?
<SypherSK> Think the transformer blew up…
<MatrixSK> Better check it out… ::is still dizzy::
<SypherSK> As soon as my head stops hurting… ::rubbing his temples::
<MatrixSK> Yeah… ::staggers to his feet a bit::
<SypherSK> ::just flops down on his bum and holds his head::
<SypherSK> ::checks for any missing “files” and runs a general system check::
<MatrixSK> ::grabs on to a pole for support::
<MatrixSK> ::is seeing stars:: Man… that was strong…
<SypherSK> ((<Trina> ::walks in about that time::  <Trix> ::decides to be funny… hangs onto pole and slurs::  I’m not as think as you drunk I am.))
<MatrixSK> ((::DIES!!!!!::))
<SypherSK> No duh…
<MatrixSK> Sorry… just stating it…
<KatneySK> ((<Matrix> Lots of stars.  There’s Leo DiKatrio… Celine Catton… Oooo, there’s RoboKat!))
<SypherSK> ((::dies!::))
<MatrixSK> ((::DEAD::))
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> Oooooo…  Celine kissed me!))
<MatrixSK> ((::dies::))
<MatrixSK> ::staggers a bit more, and falls flat on his face:: Ow…
<SypherSK> You okay, Trix?
<MatrixSK> It hurts… my head hurts…
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> Ooooo…  It’s all lights now…  Purdy….))
<KatneySK> ((<Trix> ::face now resembles pancake:: Yeah, but I have a craving to put butter and syrup on my face…))
<MatrixSK> ((::dies!!!::))
<SypherSK> ((::snorks!::))
<SypherSK> ::makes his way over by Trix to get his face offa the floor::
<SypherSK> C’mon…  ::drags them both acoherent::
<KatneySK> ((<Sy> ::uses a spatula to continue the pancake joke::))
<MatrixSK> ::gets helped off::
<MatrixSK> ::now in the computer room:: What in the world happened?
<SypherSK> ::acoherent, goes about fixing himself up… and getting rid o fthat vile headache::
<MatrixSK> ::as he fixes himself acoherent::
<SypherSK> An evil, evil EMP….  ::we’ll say the backup generator has kicked in now::
<MatrixSK> An evil EMP… Okay…
<SypherSK> ((<Jase> ::comes in to find only half the lights on, sighs::  If they overloaded the fuse in one of their little fights one more time…  <Casey> Uhm… Actually, it was me… <Jase> What’d you do?!  <Casey> I was practicing my fireball…. and I hit the transformer out back….))
<MatrixSK> ((::DIES!!!!!!!!!!!::))
<SypherSK> ::solidifies, as repaired as he’s gonna get… but still has a headache and an uncommonly bad mood::
<MatrixSK> ::repairs himself and solidifies:: That…was odd…
<SypherSK> Very…..
<SypherSK> ::holding his head… for the first time in his life, wants an aspirin::
<MatrixSK> ::shakes his head anew::
<SypherSK> I think we need to get looked at… My head is still pounding…
<MatrixSK> Same here… let’s go talk to Morrisson….he should know…
<Static> ::pops in, slightly woozy herself::
<KatneySK> ((<Doc> ::looks at Trix’s head.:: <Trix> ::head is literally throbing.:: <Doc> ::hits him over the head with a mallet:: <Trx> ::stops throbbing, gets a big throbbing bump instead::))
<MatrixSK> ((::dies!::))
<SypherSK> ((::dies::))
<MatrixSK> ::blinks at Static:: You…okay?
<Static> What was that…..?  ::flops on somebody’s cot::
<MatrixSK> Transformer blew… is your head hurting as much as mine?
<Static>  I dunno…  I’m not in your head…
<SypherSK> ((Gee… Sy’s irritable, Matrix is concerned, and Static’s tipsy…. ))
<MatrixSK> ((::snorks::))
<MatrixSK> ::blinks:: O-kay… are you sure?
<KatneySK> ((At least you can tell ‘em apart this way! ^_^))
<Static> It hurts… Lights are kinda nifty…
<MatrixSK> I think you need to lie down…
<MatrixSK> Then again, don’t we all?
<Static> I am lying down.
<SypherSK> On MY cot, I might add….
<MatrixSK> ::wonders why he’s in such a bad mood::
<MatrixSK> ::to Sy:: You can use my cot if you really need it…
<SypherSK> I’m fine.
<SypherSK> ::growl::
<MatrixSK> ::holds his hands up:: OKay, if yer gonna be crabby about it… ::goes to get a cloth with water::
<KatneySK> ((Sy ain’t happy izhe?))
<SypherSK> ((Nopes.))
<MatrixSK> ((::chuckles:: Sy a crab and Trix a cupcake? Not literally…))
<KatneySK> ((<Static> Mmmm!!! ::unwraps Trix, gobbles, chews on Sy::))
<SypherSK> ((ROFL!  Powa Boys!))
<MatrixSK> ((::ROFL!!! at Kat!::))
<KatneySK> ((You said they were cupcake and a crab))
<Static> I’m feeling better!  ::facedown in cot::
<SypherSK> ::wonders what she was on she got zapped::
<MatrixSK> ::comes back with a wet cloth:: Here, turn around… ::to Static::
<Static> ::moans and rolls over::
<MatrixSK> ::puts the cloth on her head:: You’ll be okay… ::goes acoherent:: Lemme see what I can fix…
<SypherSK> <Trix… You’re scaring me… You’re being far too tender and caring toward Static… I think I’m going to have to insist you see a doctor…>
<KatneySK> ((<Trix> ::checks:: OH MY GOSH!  HER BRAIN’S GONE!!  ::checks again:: Oh, no.  Still there.  ::checks with a magnifying glass::))
<MatrixSK> <And, what about you? You seem like a crab all of a sudden. And, what’s with the cynicism anyway?>
<SypherSK> ((ROFL!))
<SypherSK> <I am NOT cynical! That’s your job.>
<MatrixSK> <And, it’s your job to be sweet and caring! So you tell me!>
<MatrixSK> ::as he fixes Static::
<SypherSK> <I… don’t know…>
<MatrixSK> <::pauses:: Same here….>
<Static> ::is kinda blushing cuz Trix is giving her so much attention::
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> Static… is blushing… It’s a sign of the End!))
<MatrixSK> ((::ROFL!!!::))
<MatrixSK> Aaaaand, that’s the best I can do… ::to Static::
<MatrixSK> ::merges back to solid::
<SypherSK> <Trix…  Can you…  send me exactly what you’re feeling right now? And, I’ll do likewise…>
<Static> Thanks…  It feels better….. ::blush::
<MatrixSK> <You got it… ::sends him everything::>
<MatrixSK> ::as he grins at Static:: Welcome.
<KatneySK> ((Everyone’s blushing tonight!  Can’t ya feel the love?  Why… even the TV and the computer are blushing!  <TV and Computer> ::have been getting so much attention lately… blush::))
<SypherSK> ((<TV and Computer> ::are secretly in looooooove::))
<MatrixSK> ((::snorks at both::))
<SypherSK> <::blinks at what he’s getting from Trix… is the kind of thing that usually sends the guy screaming to the ceiling::>
<KatneySK> ((::shakes Sypher’s paw:: We work well together.))
<SypherSK> ((Yes, worthy comrade. Sorry… Old gag from last night still lingering.))
<MatrixSK> ((ROFL!!!))
<MatrixSK> <What do you think?>
<KatneySK> ((::evil grin:: Hehehehe…))
<SypherSK> <I think…. we swapped personalities…>
<MatrixSK> <Swapped personalities?>
<MatrixSK> ::groans:: <Great…>
<SypherSK> <No kidding…  I hate being you…  I wanna good mood!>
<MatrixSK> <It’s not so bad being you… but it can get rather irritating quick…>
<KatneySK> ((<Carnival Barker> Hurry hurry hurry!  Get your new moods right here! Be cheery, merry, crabby, any personally you’d like to be!  Only for $19.99 for a lifetime supply of new moods!))
<SypherSK> ((::dies::))
<SypherSK> <*I* irritate *you*?!>
<MatrixSK> <Once every Tuesday…>
<SypherSK> <Mmmm…  Call in Morrisson a’ready… This’s gotta go…>
<Static> ::knows they’re talking but lets them::
<SypherSK> ::pauses though::  Matrix..  How are YOU feeling?
<SypherSK> <::hearing her::  And, I don’t know what’s with Static, but it’s an improvement…>
<MatrixSK> ::calls Morrisson:: <No idea… it’s rather odd…>
<MatrixSK> ::to Static:: I… really don’t know…
<Static> You don’t know?
<MatrixSK> ::shrugs:: Mixed feelings, I guess…
<Static> ::frowns, is a little fuzzy herself.. but at least there’s only one of him now!::
<SypherSK> <::mental smirk::>
<SypherSK> ((<Static> Wow!  More Trixs!  ::pounce::))
<MatrixSK> ((::dies::))
<MatrixSK> <What?>
<SypherSK> <Now, you’re afraid to talk to her….>
<MatrixSK> <Do huh?>
<SypherSK> <You’re afraid to talk to her.  ::fiendish mental grin, so worthy of Trix it should scare him, but he doesn’t notice::  You’re afraid that with your cynicism gone, you’ll say something you’ll kick yourself for later…>
<MatrixSK> ::gives him the glare, patent pending::  <That is not true!>
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> Yeah well.. She acts like she’s drunk, so I’ll tell her she was hallucinating.))
<SypherSK> <Is too!>
<MatrixSK> <Is not!>
<KatneySK> ((Oy.))
<SypherSK> ::hyperfast not/too battle rages for a good two minutes.. with them succeeding in sending it 35000 thousand times before Morrisson arrives::
<Morrisson> ::walks in, blinks:: Um… you called?
<MatrixSK> I can prove that it’s not true! ::out loud to Sy::
<SypherSK> ::blinks at that outburst::
<Morrisson> ::raised brow::
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> Watch me!  ::kisses Static::  <Sy> Oh, how easy it is with the weak-minded….))
<MatrixSK> ((::DIES!!!::))
<Morrisson> ::Prays this is only a virus he’s dealing with::
<SypherSK> <Well, prove it, my man…>
<SypherSK> ::to Morrison:: We seem to have been hit by an EMP….
<MatrixSK> <::growls:: Watch me.>
<Morrisson> An EMP? Would that be that transformer out front?
<SypherSK> ::nods::
<SypherSK> <I am.>
<MatrixSK> <As soon as I think of something…>
<Morrisson> And, what’s the trouble here? ::as he eyes Sy’s “Don’t bug me” posture and Matrix’ “I’m meek” posture::
<SypherSK> Apparently…. He’s me and I’m him. ::pointing between himself and Trix::
<SypherSK> Well.. not like I think my name is Matrix… But, personality-wise….
<Morrisson> You mean you… switched personalities?
<SypherSK> Yeah.
<SypherSK> <I’m waaaa-iting….>
<MatrixSK> <I’m still thinking!>
<Morrisson> ::rubs his eyes:: How long has it been?
<SypherSK> Twenty minutes, ten sec…. Twenty minutes.
<Morrisson> Twenty minutes… hrm… let’s see what we can do about this…
<MatrixSK> ::and, as Sagey is half asleep, half distracted, has Matrix do the most embarrassing thing that’ll have him kicking himself later….::
<Static> I’m fine…
<SypherSK> ((::waits::))
<MatrixSK> ::grabs Static’s hands and kisses it:: <There! Ya’ happy?!>
<KatneySK> ((Hehehehee…))
<Static> ::blinks at him::
<Morrisson> ::just gapes:: Um…something tells me I better go outside and smack my head against a wall ’til I come up with a solution….
<SypherSK> <That proves you’re not avoiding talking to her?>
<MatrixSK> Don’t bother… ::is already doing that::
<MatrixSK> <That’s not enough proof?!>
<SypherSK> <Trix…  ::realizes Trix has completely forgotten his determination NOT to act like he likes Static… is afraid he’s going to do something rash::>
<MatrixSK> <Whaaat?>
<SypherSK> <Think you forgot the point of the discussion….>
<MatrixSK> <Well, being you messed up my systems>
<Morrisson> Okay, both of you, into the computer, now.
<SypherSK> Okay… ::goes::
<MatrixSK> ::ditto, zips in there::
<SypherSK> ((<Morrisson>  Scoot!  And, no good-bye kisses, Matrix!  I don’t want you blaming it on me cuz you weren’t in your right mind!))
<MatrixSK> ((ROFL!!))
<Static> ::to Morrisson:: What are you going to do?
<Morrisson> ::types in a few commands:: ‘Clean up’ their programs…let’s see if we can have them swap their personalities with a little ‘cut and paste’…
<Static>  You can tell what’s what?
<SypherSK> ::types to Morrisson:: “Does that hurt?”
<SypherSK> ((<Morrisson> How should I know?!  I’m not a computer.))
<Morrisson> I’ll have to it see it for myself…. ::types back:: “It may ‘sting’ a bit…”
<SypherSK> ::types::  “…..”
<Morrisson> “Just trust me.”
<MatrixSK> “Why am I scared?”
<SypherSK> <Trix….  You think this’ll work?>
<MatrixSK> <I sure hope so… I’m already kicking myself…>
<SypherSK> <Kicking yourself?>
<MatrixSK> <Nevermind…>
<Morrisson> ::typetypecutpastecutpaste:: “Speak to me”
<SypherSK> “Owie…”
<MatrixSK> “Ow…”
<Morrisson> “Well, means it’s working… how’re you feeling?”
<Static> <Are you guys okay?>
<MatrixSK> <My head….>
<SypherSK> <Oooooo…  But, it’s not as bad as last time…>
<MatrixSK> <What he said…>
<MatrixSK> “Well?”
<Morrisson> “Just hang in there for a few more seconds… let’s “clean out” any errors from your systems…”
<SypherSK> “I don’t know…. One minute…”
<SypherSK> ::thinks of something nice and pleasant…. smiles…  then sends it to Trix::
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> Augh!  I already hadda headache, Sy!))
<MatrixSK> ((::dies!::))
<MatrixSK> <:::Receives it:: ARGH!!! HAVE YOU NO MERCY!?>
<Morrisson> ::waits::
<SypherSK> <Yep, we’re normal…> ::relays to Morrisson::
<Morrisson> ::grins:: “Good. Feel free to leap out anytime.”
<MatrixSK> ::leaps out:: THAT was vile, Sypher!
<SypherSK> ::leaps out after:: What was vile?
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> ::gave him the feeling of loving your widdle brother and he calls it vile…::))
<MatrixSK> That tender little memory you sent me of Jake receiving his first gift! Argh!!
<Morrisson> I guess my job here is done… Donuts are in the Rec room… ::leaves::
<SypherSK> Thanks, Morrisson!
<Static> ::ain’t fixed::
<Static> ::blinks at the two of them::
<MatrixSK> Yeah, thanks. ::sighs and sits::
<MatrixSK> ::then looks at Static:: And, you okay?
<Static> ::nods::
<MatrixSK> ::pause:: Oh… ::zips behind Sy::
<SypherSK> ::both Sy and Static blink at him::
<MatrixSK> <I kissed her onna hand.. onna hand! That was it! She better not get any ideas!>
<SypherSK> <Trix… She’s still out of it…>
<MatrixSK> <She…! She is…?>
<Static> ::looks at Trix…  remembers and just sorta sighs::
<MatrixSK> ((<Trix> Actually, I like this side of her… she won’t be chasin’ me around… yay!  <Sy> ::smacks him one::))
<MatrixSK> ::smacks a hand against his head::
<KatneySK> ((<Trix> Aye aye aye.))
<SypherSK> ((::dies::))
<Static> So, you guys are all better now?
<KatneySK> ((Sheesh, you guys would die at a pin dropping. ::drops a pin::))
<MatrixSK> Um… ::restrains himself:: Yeah.. we’re okay…
<SypherSK> ((::is stabbed by it… dies::))
<MatrixSK> ((::snorks!!::))
<KatneySK> ((::glare:: Not THAT kinda die!))
<MatrixSK> ((::Is ROFL!!!!!!!::))
<Static> ::isn’t sure what to say next::
<KatneySK> ((I rest my case. ::puts briefcase on pillow, puts blanket over it.  Turns on nightlight for it and kisses it good night::))
<MatrixSK> ((::DIES, Kat!!::))
<MatrixSK> Um… <shoot… y’know… being you seems to be missed now..>
<SypherSK> ((::diesdies::))
<SypherSK> <::just chuckles::  I think she really *does* like you…>
<MatrixSK> <::sighs:: And, I think I hurt her feelings on top of that..>
<SypherSK> <Well, go apologize…She’s not gonna jump on you right now…>
<SypherSK> ::jump on in the hugging/kissing sense he means::
<MatrixSK> <Good point, junior…> ::goes to sit beside her::
<Static> ::blnks at him again::  Hi…. again…
<MatrixSK> Um…Hi. I..uh…
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> I’m bad at this romance thing, so here’s the deal…  No dating ’til the RPG has ended, okay?  After that…  we’ll talk.  Ain’t like we don’t have a few hundred years anyways… No need to rush…))
<MatrixSK> ((::DIES!!::))
<MatrixSK> Look, I’m…sorry about earlier…
<Static> ::wonders which earlier:: It’s okay….
<MatrixSK> Y’know, the…kiss on the hand and all.. and my freaking out, too…
<Static> ::all shy:: Well… I’m sorry about…. messing up your dinner… with… the foxlady…. That was rude…
<MatrixSK> ::pause:: No, no. Actually, you got me outta the line of fire. I appreciate that.
<Static>  But….
<SypherSK> <If I didn’t have the ablility to record all this myself and dump it to the computer, I’d soooo wish I did…  ::to himself::>
<MatrixSK> But, nothing. Thanks a bunch. ::grins at her… for the first time::
<Static> ::smiles back shyly… dear, here we go again::
<KatneySK> ((Ooo, she’s blushing again))
<MatrixSK> So… no heart feelings? ::holds out a hand::
<MatrixSK> ((<Static> ::snaps back:: You betcha! ::pulls him to her and kisses::))
<SypherSK> ((::dies… and double dies at what Trix said!::))
<SypherSK> ((Is that supposed to be subliminal, Trixmun?))
<KatneySK> (Tee hee))
<MatrixSK> ((Actually, no. I just thought it would be hilarious))
<Static> No what?
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> Trix!  Stop trying to trick her into deals with plays on words!))
<MatrixSK> ::pauses at what he said, and smacks his mun for the typo:: No *hard* feelings, even?
<KatneySK> ((::evil grin:: Heheheh))
<SypherSK> ((THAT’s what I was talking about…))
<Static> ::offers her own::
<MatrixSK> ((I’m horrible…))
<MatrixSK> Shake on it?
<StaticSK> Yeah… ::shakes:
<StaticSK> ((<Static> ::shakes Trix like a maracca::))
<MatrixSK> ((::dies::))
<KatneySK> ((<Timon> That’s not a Matrix!  It’s a fuzzy maracca!))

<StaticSK> ::grins back… in a shy way::
<MatrixSK> <OKay…I feel better… ::to Sy::>
<Sypher> <::chuckles::>
<MatrixSK> <What?>
<StaticSK> ((<Trix> She can stay like this.  I like this!))
<KatneySK> ((<Static> ::got drunk, threw up:: OK… I feel better…))
<Sypher>  <Nothing… Nothing at all…Do you think it’ll wear off?>
