Romancing the Stone-hearted

<MatrixSK> ::izza… back at de’ beach… um… doing the last of his beach cleanup assignment::

<Katney> ((^_^ Did Trix break something or mess up something he wasn’t suppose ta?))
<MatrixSK> ((Nopes. ;) He wanted SOMETHING just to get outta the city… and they tossed him there))
<SypherSK> ::iiiiiis with Matrix, praying Mattmun doesn’t return and sic a walrus on them again::
<Katney> ((::giggles:: What you guys do when I’m not here))
<MatrixSK> ((Hey, A-Chan: ::starts typing up a few comp. terms for name ideas:: Binary, Cookie, Java (I’m evil) ))
<Annu-chan> (( Are the Enforcers as a whole aware of the Cyberkats? ::tosses out random questions woo!:: ))
<Annu-chan> (( ::dies:: NOOOOOO not JAVA!!!))
<MatrixSK> ((::DEAD::))
<MatrixSK> ((<Matrix> ::thwaps Sy:: Just HAD to mention the Walrus! ::HIDES!::))
<SypherSK> Remind me how you got this posh assignment?
<MatrixSK> I told them, “Get me outta here. I need fresh air.” They took it literally.
<SypherSK> ::arches a brow::
<MatrixSK> That, and I mentioned that I wanted to “give my contribution to the environment.”
<SypherSK> You? An environmentalist?
<MattSK> (( <Matrix> Yes, but I’ll be an EVIL Environmentalist ))
<SypherSK> ((<Matrix> Yeah… McGrath said he was disowning me… Which is good since I’m not and didn’t want to be related to him in the first place.))
<MatrixSK> Not in that sense.
<MatrixSK> ((DEAD MATT!!!! DEAD SY!!!!))
<SypherSK> So, what do you call yourself? ::sly grin:: A treehugger?
<MatrixSK> No. A headbeater.
<Katney> ((<Trix> Noo… I’m a saphugger.))

<Katney> ((<Trix> ::while hugging a maple tree, sucks out all the sap from it, gets giddy::))
<MatrixSK> I meant I beat MY head against trees, Mr. Paranoia.
<MatrixSK> ((DEADAGAIN!))
<SypherSK> Oh, sorry… This past year of abuse has gotten to me.
<MattSK> ((<Sy> Try and die, then eat some pie high in the sky while you fly and go bye bye…<Trix> Okay, now I’m officially weirded out))
<Katney> ((How long did that take ya?))
<MatrixSK> I’m sorry, Syphy Whyfy. Did I zap you too hawd? ::grins::

<MatrixSK> HEYS! ::shoots into the air::
<Katney> ((<Sy> ::ala Daffy Duck:: No! Zap me again! I enjoys it! I enjoy the smell of singed fur! ::zaps himself::))
<Annu-chan> (( <Sy> Why don’t you just drill a hole in your head and let the sap run out, tree boy. <Matrix> … ))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))

<PcsOfVolcanus> ((<Ana> <I’ve learned my first lesson about the “corrupted” CyberKats today… ::as she watches Trix engage in a foodfight:: They not only revel in pointless activities… they are highly juvenile….>))

<MatrixSK> ::blinks, tired:: What? I do everything and all it took was… AN APRICOT?!
<MatrixSK> ((<Matrix> Good thing Dad didn’t make me eat all my veggies…. those things’re lethal…))
<AnaLytikat> ::ew will avoid any wet fruit. that would be hurty, not to mention messy. will watch for a moment to see if she can do anything to destroy the rock pieces. After all, can’t have them running about on the island if DK’s gonna use it::
<AnaLytikat> (( ::laughs:: Veggies are baaaad for you ))
<MatrixSK> ((oh yes. Especially spinach. ;) ))
<PcsOfVolcanus> ((<Dark Kat> ::to Ana:: I love the locale… the volcano is cozy… But, the… er… vermin are getting to me… ::as his creeplings hide behind him while little Volcanuses circle his feet::))

<PcsOfVolcanus> ::attack!::
<MatrixSK> ::eyes flash yellow, fires a blast towards the nearest ones::
<PcsOfVolcanus> ::some are knocked back, others keep charging, breathing short bursts of fire::
<MatrixSK> ::then winces, curls up. Took all of his energy on that one::
<PcsOfVolcanus> ::tackle! okay, so they have NO strategy here… the big one didn’t exactly either;:
<MatrixSK> <Crud… > ::clenches his teeth, concentrates best he can, then grabs a fistfull of sand and tosses it at ‘em… merely to blind them so he can get away::
<AnaLytikat> ::ponders searching memory data banks on this. Seems those things have the same properties as Volcanus. Volcanus, ancient volcanic rock beast, defeated by large explosion. Bah. Doesn’t want to waste HER energy on such a thing. Watches Matrix::
<PcsOfVolcanus> ::lose their prey in a flurry of sand, blinkblink::
<MatrixSK> <Help….>
<AnaLytikat> ::can she hear the things in the <>?::
<MatrixSK> ::to the nearest C-Kat there::
<AnaLytikat> ::oh! guess so. <g>:: <Well well well… seems the big bad Matrix is having problems, eh?>
<MatrixSK> <Wha…?>
<PcsOfVolcanus> ((<Trix> ::in his mango’ed state, accidentally picks a radio frequency… gets some guy in Burma that doesn’t speak English::))
<MatrixSK> ::stands up shakily, stumbles to grab onto a table::
<MatrixSK> ((DEAD!!!!!!))
<PcsOfVolcanus> ::some hang onto him, chittering warcries::
<AnaLytikat> <::laughs a bit:: What’s the matter? Can’t defeat these things on your own? Why you were supposed to be so strong and brave when you left with the main traitor.>

<PcsOfVolcanus> ((Blasted peer pressure…))
<MatrixSK> ::growls, concentrates sommore… and finally manages to charge up what little is left of his energy. All that went into the beach cleanup and what not, merges acoherent simply with the idea to fry those evil things… or get them off him:
<PcsOfVolcanus> ((Hmm… Oughtn’t he be able to make them acoherent, absorb them as energy and then fling their energy back at the others? Look! Poetic justice.))
<AnaLytikat> ::sighs:: <Well tell you what, I’ll help you out, only because “pops” might want to use this place later. Any idea how to get rid of them?>
<AnaLytikat> (( LOL))
<MatrixSK> ((He could… but due to a sleepy mun that’s high on allergy medicine and who is about to bow out inna few, I’ll let him be. ^_^ ))
<PcsOfVolcanus> ::are flung back by the release of energy::
<MatrixSK> <Who… are you…. Who’s… “pops?”> ::just collapses:: Sy….? S…Sta…
<AnaLytikat> ::maybe I should do what POV said then and save his tail?::
<MatrixSK> ::S’up to you… I’m just having Trix bow out so I can log off… Can’t stay awake too long… Darn Benadryl….::
<PcsOfVolcanus> ((::chuckles, could just imagine Static if some other girl saved Trix… she nearly went thru the roof when the Kaeru cooked him dinner::))
<MatrixSK> ((::dies!!!::))
<PcsOfVolcanus> ((Er… Kaeru, not THE Kaeru… Tho’ she is the only person with that name… Still…))
<MatrixSK> ((<Stats> WHO was that other she-kat?! <Matrix> I was unconscious. I wouldn’t know. Prolly some life-guard on grave yard shift… Stats? Staaaaats….. You’re strangling me…))
<PcsOfVolcanus> ((::DEAD!::))
<MatrixSK> <Gotta… find… line… ::looks for telephone line or something to crawl into::

<<MatrixSK> ::doesn’t matter to him now.. He’s out cold::
<Tourists> ::have been long gone, running for the ferry, boats, barrels, anything to get to the mainland… and… is that one swimming there?::
<MatrixSK>  ::wakes up some hours later with Static holding him in acoherent form, patching the damage::  Wha’… What happened?
<Static> ::sour face::  Some *other* CyberGirl came along and chased off those little horrors…  ::mutters::  I was doing fine on my own…  And then, she told me I better come get you.  ::glaaaares at Trix::  Triiiiiixie…  Is there something I should know?
<Matrix> ::groans, solidifies and thumps his head facedown in the sand::  <No, Static…  ::to himself::  But, there’s something I *need* to know… Like who that was…  Looked like another demon… one with a brain…  Just great….>
