<LingXiao> 13 The colors Duke! the Colors! RPG ON!
<SypherSK> ((Yeps.))
<WaylonNolway> ::So, is still being confronted by Lingy, yes?::
<LingXiao> ::so leaning over Nolway’s desk, just said somethin’ like “you know, if something like that is in the wrong paws, EVERYONE in the city might be in trouble” <g>::
<LingXiao> <Josie>::is chillin’ at the M. B. IIIIIIIIIII::
<SypherSK> ((::clearly, must re-learn how to do colors if she’s gonna hit the light, curse my ineptness with anything there’s not a big, glowing button for!::))
<WaylonNolway> Oh, I see.
<SypherSK> ::having commandeered Jason’s old laptop and transferred info to it, is typing away, looking over the program he and Rox and Trix used on Prot::
<WaylonNolway> Well, Detective, I wish I could help you…
<LingXiao> ((its just control K if you have mIRC. then a box pops up with the colors ))
<David_Purvis> ::Decided to go check up on Viper. So with alittle help from Kickstart, is heading for Alkatraz in a sub like the one the SK’s used in Katastrophe::
<WaylonNolway> But the fact is I don’t know what happened to that hunk of Dark Matter. ::Is slowly regaining his composure, becoming more confident::
<SypherSK> ::is sitting in the breakfroom with a stack of donuts by him::
<SypherSK> ((Ah! Thank you!))
<SypherSK> ::er, the breakroom, not the breakfroom::
<LingXiao> ::nods:: I understand. Just take my advice though, and don’t get too nosy when something doesn’t involve you, okay? ::smiles sweetly once more::
<WaylonNolway> ((::Wonders if Viper shouldn’t go to the asylum instead, lol::))
<WaylonNolway> ::Nods:: Of course.
<LingXiao> (( Dude, where’d Kickstart get a sub? @_@))
<SypherSK> ((<Ling> Oh, really? ::produces a Geiger counter witha wand attachment, passes it over him, gets a strong reading:: <Nolway> It’s from the coffee, I tell you! <Ling> ::blinks, wands coffee, gets a reading:: Whoa… Never drinking that again…))
<David_Purvis> ((Her grandpa’s Hackle, so he helps alittle here and there with the gadgets))
<WaylonNolway> ((LOL Reminds me of Egon and his little doohicky.))
<LingXiao> ((LOL ah I was like “Kickstart has an underground military bunker where she’s really plotting world domination!” ;D))
<David_Purvis> ((LOL! That’d be Dark Kickstart! XD))
<WaylonNolway> ((<Hackle> I do…? <Kickstart> Yes. You’re just senile, granddad. <Hackle> Ah…))
<David_Purvis> ((LOL))
<SypherSK> ((::snortDIES!:: No, it’s Hackle’s bunker, but it’s the rebuilt and malfunctioning Cybertron that’s planning world domination. Yup. The tainted coffee told me so.))
<LingXiao> ((::DIES!::))
<David_Purvis> ((*DEAD*))
<LingXiao> ::nods to him:: Good day, Nolway. ::turns ‘n heads off to her office::
<WaylonNolway> ((<Cybertron> ::Gonna get back at those mean SKs for avoiding him and getting him busted up!::))
<LingXiao> ::is suspicious. something not right with him::
<WaylonNolway> ::Nods again, but his smile fades as soon as her back is turned:: Crud…
<SypherSK> ::munching a donut, scrolls through lines of strange code, can’t help but imagine what Prot would say to this… surely there’d be endless teasing about him not being able to stand being a normal kat either… doesn’t think that’s why he wants his powers back… it’s just so he can fight her… right?::
<David_Purvis> ::so around the Asylum finds a place where he can hide his bicycle behind some bushes…goes to see if he can now find a way inside without getting caught::
<WaylonNolway> ::Begins to dig through his desk, looking for the little piece of paper where he jotted down the phone number for Xander’s cell phone in case of an emergency…which this situation most certainly has to be::
<LingXiao> ((LOL <Cybertron>::though is in love with Razor. programs itself to have a female personality. read up horrid Razor fanfiction where Mary Sues get his love for tips:: ))
<WaylonNolway> <Asylum Guards> ::Asleep or rotting their minds with David Litterbin on mini TVs…getting in’s a piece of cake, kiddo::
<LingXiao> <Josie> What are ya lookin’ at, Sypher? ::smiles as she enters the breakroom::
<SypherSK> ((::DIES!:: <Cybertron> ::is sure Razor loves it/her too… just lookit how badly he wanted to be with him!… will just have to get rid of that evil T-Bone who drug Razor away::))
<David_Purvis> ((*DIES* <C-tron>::has some guys beat Razor to a bloody pulp so “she” can “magically nurse him back to health”:: ))
<David_Purvis> ((::quoted from Sage’s and Matts fic:: ))
<LingXiao> ((::dead::))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: <Razor> ::beaten to a pulp:: Love hurts… oh, how it hurts….))
<WaylonNolway> ((brb))
<David_Purvis> ((XD))
<David_Purvis> ::Sneaksneaksneaks around…is careful…caaaareful…..::
<WaylonNolway> ::Eeps, can’t find it, starts to panick!::
<SypherSK> ::blinks, looks up:: Looking over the program we used to remove mine and Protocol’s powers. It’s got most of the programming required to create a CyberKat… almost… ::uh oh… shouldn’t have said *that* in front of Nowun-mun::
<LingXiao> ::goes to her office. sits at her desk and sighs:: He’s the only one to examine it who isn’t on the case…
<WaylonNolway> ::Finally, though, remembers he stuffed it into his wallet:: Ah-ha!
<WaylonNolway> ((<Nowun> Will remember that!))
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> I mean, uh… minus a gig of information! <Nowun> ::still gonna remember it!:: <Sy> ::drat it all::))
<LingXiao> ((LOL!))
<David_Purvis> (LOL))
<WaylonNolway> ::Reaches for the phone on his desk, then stops. Stupid. Getting his officer’s cap, and putting it on, he gets up from his desk and heads off to the elevators, leaving his desk a mess, planning to go downstairs and use a public payphone::
<David_Purvis> ::thinking:: [now if I where uncle, where would I be locked up...?]
<LingXiao> <Josie> Oh…? Why are you checking over that? Hoping to restore your cyberkat half back? ::sounds a little disappointed ;D isn’t aware his c-kat half rebelled and got drained::
<LingXiao> ((<David> I know! The hole! ::finds Viper stuffed in a tiny hole in the wall::))
<SypherSK> Hoping to get enough of my powers back that I can help my CyberKat half out. He’s in… a bit of trouble… ::beat:: Not to mention just to deal with Protocol and her new powers.
<David_Purvis> ((LOL!! <Viper>….my nose is itching…and I can’t…reach it…darnit…))
<SypherSK> ((::dead:: <David> I’ll save you, Unc! ::pulls out a plunger and starts trying to suck Viper out of the hole::))
<LingXiao> ((::laughin’::))
<David_Purvis> ((*DIES*))
<LingXiao> <Josie> … a bit of trouble? ::sits next to him inna chair::
<WaylonNolway> ::As he waits for the elevator, he muses that he has more than enough money to retire on from all the payments he’s got from Xander. He might have to quit the Enforcers, or just plain skip town if that nosy Detective Xiao keeps following the lead::
<David_Purvis> ::while a guard is in the bathroom, checks a list that tells where the “guests” have their rooms. Is somehow not surprised to find they put Viper next to Lenny Ringtail:: poor unc..having to deal with that guys bad jokes…::muttering.:
<SypherSK> Yeah… ::runs a hand through his long bangs:: He kinda got… sucked out of me by Kaeru.
<LingXiao> ::wonders if she’s just overly suspicious, but usually follows her instincts… they tend to be correct::
<WaylonNolway> ((On the left side, ’cause Cuddleykins’ cell is also next to Ringtail’s lol))
<SypherSK> ((<Kaeru> Sypher… Are you trying to get back at me by blabbing my secret to everyone? <Sy> ::innocent face::))
<LingXiao> ((::dies:: <Lenny> Hey Viper, Viper! <Viper> … what. <Lenny> What do you get when you cross a snake and a kat? <Viper> … what. <Lenny> You! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! <VIper> ssssomeone jussst shoot me now… –; ))
<David_Purvis> ((LOL))
<SypherSK> ((::DEADDEAD!::))
<SypherSK> ((<Some Guy Down the Way> I’d love to! …. But, they took my gun… <Viper> ::beats his head on the wall::))
<WaylonNolway> ::Isn’t afraid of what the Enforcers will do to him if they learn more about his actions…he’s more worried what Dr. Nowun will do. He half-considers going to Xiao’s office to confess, but the ding of the elevator reaching his floor makes him shake those thoughts from his head as he gets into the car and presses the button for the lobby::
<LingXiao> ((::dead::))
<LingXiao> <staff uniforms>::sit on an abandoned cart. ooooh good for sneaking::
<David_Purvis> ::So! Goes off to find the right room….peeks in through the slits in the doors….who’ll be Viper?::
<LingXiao> <Josie> … Kaeru?
<WaylonNolway> ((Brb!))
<LingXiao> ((::not sure if Koosh was gonna or not::))
<SypherSK> The kitsune secretary.
<David_Purvis> ((we’ll ask when he gets back))
<SypherSK> Well, she just got that position. Usually, she does any cooking that’s done around here.
<David_Purvis> ((<Sypher> And she does a *excellent* stuffing for thanksgiving!))
<LingXiao> <Josie> What is it with this place and getting evil secretaries?
<LingXiao> ((LOL!))
<WaylonNolway> ((Back))
<SypherSK> ((::snorks!:: <Sypher> She’s really good at what she does… It was just when she decided to make a side dish of my CyberKat half… That was a bit much.))
<SypherSK> It must be some kind of curse… Though I don’t think Kaeru is really evil. Not like Dark Kat or anything.
<WaylonNolway> ((Annnnd no, I’m not up for playing a remotely important character tonight.))
<LingXiao> ((that’s okiee, I’ll take him iffan ya need.))
<David_Purvis> ((<Sypher> Particularly since I was part of the ingredience >.<; ))
<David_Purvis> ((kewls enough))
<David_Purvis> ::makes the mistake of peeking into Ringtails cell:: d’oh
<SypherSK> ((And, I c’n if you’ve got too much goin’ on, Annu. ::just held back cuz she doesn’t think she’s any good at playing him::))
<LingXiao> ((is okiee.))
<LingXiao> ::gets a call from her mother of all kats XD will have to call Sy about the DM later::
<SypherSK> ((<Ringtail> ::sees David:: A new audience! ::launches into his routine:: <David> ::clutches his ears to his head:: No! Must… not… listen…. to… bad jokes…!))
<LingXiao> <Josie>::still in action!:: Then… why’d she do that to you?
*** LingXiao is now known as DoctahV
<David_Purvis> ::quickly closes slit again. Peeks into the next. mouths a “bingo”..:: Uncle?
<SypherSK> She accidentally touched that dark matter and it… seemed to drain away all her energy. I don’t know how much trouble she was in, but enough to risk permanently draining me… which, yes, is a risk since she’s been enjoying feeding off my ambient energy for a year or so now.
<WaylonNolway> ::Meanwhile::
<DoctahV> ::sittin’ in his cell. prolly has a straight jacket on XD should be muzzled too but its close to lunch and he hasn’t bitten anyone lately <g>::
<David_Purvis> ((<Viper> Guards just don’t taste like they used to anymore…))
<WaylonNolway> <Jigsaw> ::Pokes the Dark Matter with a pencil:: It’s not doing anything remotely interestin’, boss…
<DoctahV> ::doesn’t note David. is plotting his escape _/::
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))
<DoctahV> ((::dies::))
<SypherSK> ((<Guards> ::have taken to washing frequently with heavily scented soap, biting them is like getting your mouth washed out with it::))
<WaylonNolway> <Nowun> I can SEE that, you idiot. It hasn’t done anything interesting for the past week. Why should it do anything interesting now?
<DoctahV> <Josie> And you’ve been LETTING her? ::surprised::
<David_Purvis> Hey..Uncle….::alittle louder::
<WaylonNolway> <Xander> ::A ringing comes from his suit; he reaches into his pocket and takes out a Nokia, pressing the button to turn it on and puts it to his ear:: Gibbs.
<WaylonNolway> <Nowun> ::Glances over. Who would call Xander here?::
<SypherSK> ((<Nowun> ::grows bored of the Dark Matter and leaves:: <DM> ::promptly jumps up, dons a hat and starts singing the, “Hello, my honey” routine:: <Jigsaw> ::eyes widen:: Boss! ::calls Nowun back in:: It’s dancing! <Nowun> Eh? ::looks, finds the rock just sitting there, hits Jigsaw:: Don’t call me like that for nothing! ::leaves:: <DM> ::gets up again:: *repeatrepeat*))
<DoctahV> ::mrrs. looks up, narrows eyes:: Who are you? ::mun goes along the lines that Viper went insane XD so mun assumes he won’t remember David, because mun isn’t quite clear on his history with Viper::
<WaylonNolway> <Xander> What?! ::Eyes widen as he talks on the phone::
<DoctahV> ((::DIES Sy! what on earth?! XD::))
<DoctahV> ((<DM>::wants to be the WB’s spokesfrog!::))
<WaylonNolway> ((Like the WB frog!))
<WaylonNolway> ((LOL mind twin))
<David_Purvis> It’s me, David….your nephew….
<DoctahV> … thisss is new. ::frowns. wonders if this is some sort of ploy to get him to talk or something::
<DoctahV> ::or if this kid is lost::
<SypherSK> ::nods:: It’s not a problem when I’m a CyberKat. She can’t absorb raw CyberKat energy… only life force energy. Apparently, to those able to detect that sort of thing, we CyberKats in biological form give off quite a lot of it… that we have no need of.
<WaylonNolway> <Xander> You idiot! What? No! Don’t do anything! Just stay there and keep your mouth shut, and everything will be fine! Stop crying, you big baby! Go have a stiff drink. ::hangs up::
<WaylonNolway> <Nowun> ::Ba-blinks::
<David_Purvis> ::sighs…:: I knew you’d just forget ’bout it all….
<WaylonNolway> <Xander> Our friend at Enforcer Headquarters says that the detective in charge of things is on to him.
<WaylonNolway> <Nowun> Dah! O_o
<DoctahV> <Josie> So… where is she now?
<DoctahV> If you’re not here to get me out… sss then jussst buzzzz off!
<SypherSK> I have no idea… ::sighs::
<WaylonNolway> <Xander> If he’s smart enough to just act natural and not say or do anything suspicious, we’ll be fine. If not, well, we may have to take affirmitive action. ::Claps the Nokia “shut” and sticks it back into his pocket::
<SypherSK> ((<David> Hmph. Be nice or I won’t give you the cake I brought! <Viper> Doesss it have a hackssssaw in it? <David> ::missing the point:: No! I’m not trying to kill you!))
<David_Purvis> ((*DIES*))
<DoctahV> <Josie>::maw, ears droop. is kinda peeved that Kaeru did that to Sy, though she needed the energy, she didn’t have to drain Sy’s:: And to think I was getting to know her and thought she was a sweet person….
<WaylonNolway> <Nowun> Somehow I doubt he is, coming from what you’ve told me of him.
<DoctahV> ((::diies:: ))
<SypherSK> She may still be… She was a bit… crazed at the time… ::shakes his head:: We can’t know if that’s just her or that Dark Matter… It seems to have affected Protocol strangely too.
<WaylonNolway> ((<Nolway> You can’t kill me! <Nowun> Why not? <Nolway> Our names both have the same first letters! Where’s your sense of comraderie?!))
<David_Purvis> ::Mrrrrs:: shoulda known better than showing up around a pathetic creep like you!
<SypherSK> ((LOL!))
<DoctahV> <Josie> Strangely how? You think it makes them more… malicious or something?
<WaylonNolway> ((<Nolway> Well…we both have the same muns! <Nowun> Bah!))
<DoctahV> –; Oh yessss go ahead and insssult me. ::chuckles:: Like that’sss new. ::looks away from the door to stew s’more::
<SypherSK> Well, it definitely seemed to affect Protocol’s sense of logic… Especially that last time in the park when we took it away from her for a while… She knew what the Enforcers did to the other Dark Matter being and still thought she was invincible.
<DoctahV> ((::dies::))
<DoctahV> <Josie> That’s because she’s got a huge ego like Jeffries said.
<David_Purvis> ….::sighs…:: I still love you uncle…and so does mom…..::begins to head off::
<WaylonNolway> ::Come sback up to his floor of Enforcer HQ, looking like he hasn’t slept in weeks, despite looking normal when he left, eyes wide and bloodshot, tie loosened sloppily, etc.::
<SypherSK> There’s that… But, Protocol’s not normally *that* reckless.
<David_Purvis> ((<Sy> Only when she’s in that “I gotta do some kinda chaotic domino-effect!” mood..))
<DoctahV> ::wonders why this kid and his mom “still love” him. Though that annoying Ringtail next door gets loads of fan letter for some stupid book he wrote::
<DoctahV> ((LOL!))
<WaylonNolway> ::Slumps into his chair, and just sits rigid, staring off into space::
<DoctahV> <Josie> ::shrugs:: you’d know her more than I. And Kaeru too. ::shakes her head::
<SypherSK> ((::dies at David-mun and Ringtail’s fanmail!::))
<David_Purvis> ((::mun wouldn’t have minded if Viper remembered a small bit about his nephew etc, but oh well:: ))
<SypherSK> ::rests his chin on one hand:: I hope I know them well enough… At least well enough to deal with them both now…
<DoctahV> ::lol well mun don’t know! Viper’s been like this for years. gonna take more than one visit to refresh his memory, especially since he can only see a pair of eyes ‘n nose there::
<David_Purvis> ((<Viper> what isss worssst about them straightjacketssss is when it’sss the ssshedding season!! It itchesss all over and you can’t ssscratch *anything!!*:: ))
<DoctahV> ((::dead!::))
<WaylonNolway> :;Needless to say, is torn…he’s in deep trouble either way. If he confesses to his superiors, that will give reason for Nowun to have him bumped off. If his superiors find out on their own, well…need sugar…grabs and devours a Snickers bar he’d had on his desk::
<SypherSK> ((::dead!::))
<David_Purvis> ::Is easy to say, in a depressed mood when he heads back to the city. Meets up and talks with Kickstart about it:: <KS> well what did you expect? He’s a maniac…and you can’t expect him to remember everything like that ::snaps fingers:: <David>::sighs:: I know…but still….<Kickstart> Go home, get some food and get some sleep. Then go back to school and take care of things there, OK? <David>::shrugs. Heads off::
<DoctahV> <Josie> You know… you don’t have to deal with them all on your own.
*** David_Purvis is now known as KickstartSK
<KickstartSK> ::so basically, after the meeting with David she just swings around to see if there’s any bad guy butt she can slap around::
<DoctahV> <Ling>::sighs:: Yes mom… no I haven’t forgotten his birthday… ::still on phone. Mom likes to lecture XD:: if I get the chance I’ll come by later today, things at work are hectic and- no I’m fine its just that- uh huh… uh huh… –;
<WaylonNolway> ((<Bad Guy Butt> ::The laughing stock of the villains, he’s just a butt..::))
<DoctahV> ((::DIIIIIES::))
<KickstartSK> ((*DIES*))
<WaylonNolway> ::Finally, after getting the sugar into his system and calming somewhat, he stands, adjusts his tie, and walks towards Ling’s office::
*** DoctahV is now known as LingXiao
<KickstartSK> ::peeks in through the window at the MBI where Josie is?::
<LingXiao> <Josie>::is yakkin’ at Sy in the breakroom::
<KickstartSK> Booh
<WaylonNolway> ::Stands at the office door for the longest time before finally mustering enough courage to knock::
<KickstartSK> ((<Josie’n'Sy>::AAYIIIIIAAAAAAAAARGHSSSS!!! JUMPCLINGTOCEILING!!!:: ))
<LingXiao> mother I’ll see what I can do. Uh huh. Yes. YES. No I’m not getting an attitude I’m… ::winces hearing her mother griping in Chinese now::
<LingXiao> <Josie> Gah! ::turns to look at the window:: Who in the world? :;stands up quickly::
<KickstartSK> ((<Lingmother> Chinese Noodles, baked shrimps, shrimp chips, glassnoodles with duck…))
<WaylonNolway> ::Pokes his head in:: Um…Detective Xiao…I’m not disturbing you, am I?
<SypherSK> ((Awk! Sorries… Got Mom on celphone…))
<KickstartSK> Kickstart at your service ::grins, crawls inside:: whazzup?
<LingXiao> Mother… I’ve got to go… helloooo yes… I’ve got to. ::motions for him to sit down:: Mom…. ::gets her attention in Chinese XD finishes the convo quickly::
<LingXiao> ::hangs up phone. sighs:: Sorry about that… what is it?
<WaylonNolway> ::Takes off his cap, holding it in his hands as he sits down in front of her desk in one of the chairs provided::
<LingXiao> <Josie> ::blinks:: Kickstart…? ::not sure she met her. she could be a masked villain! XD::
<KickstartSK> Vigilante if your in doub
<KickstartSK> doubt^
<SypherSK> ::had been about to answer Josie, then ended up staring dumbly at KS, bad mun::
<KickstartSK> ((<Sypher> Duuuh pretty lady….<Kickstart>…..Sy have you been reading Sluggy Freelance again!?))
<LingXiao> <Josie> Okay… ^^; ::whispers to Sy:: she IS a vigilante, right?
<SypherSK> Yes. ::vaguely remembers KS from… at least the Halloween party::
<LingXiao> ::smiling at Nolway:: You’re not disturbing me. Something you have to tell me? ::incase his mun missed the other line::
<KickstartSK> Long time no see Sy…haven’t seen ya since that halloween party….::since mun isn’t here too often lets just say she goes on out’o'town missions too::
<WaylonNolway> ::He did:: Uh..yes…I don’t know how to say this…but I’m afraid I’ve done something terrible…disgraceful…
<SypherSK> Hello again… Sorry for not recognizing you sooner…
<WaylonNolway> I didn’t know who else to go to…
<KickstartSK> It’s OK. I’ve not been around much
<LingXiao> ::quirks brow:: Go on.
<LingXiao> <Josie>::sits back down relaxed again. smiles politely at KS::
<LingXiao> ((Kickstart that is XD))
<KickstartSK> ::looks on Josie:: and your a newbie?
<KickstartSK> ((at even! Blarh))
<SypherSK> ((<Josie> A WHAT?! <Sy> Careful, Kickstart! Sometimes Josie gets a little… violent… ::mental flashbacks to Josie chasing giant creeplings around on the moon with a blaster in either hand and Josie wielding two chainsaws and slicing up mutant plants:: In fact, she’s kinda scary…))
<WaylonNolway> ::Wrings his hat, eyes wide and breaking out in a cold sweat, and being the stiff kind of hat this practically ruins it:: I…I…I’ve been….taking money from outside sources, in return for information and top secret files…
<LingXiao> <Josie> A NEWBIE? I’m still a bit of a rookie HERE perhaps, but I’m no newbie when it comes to law enforcement.
<LingXiao> ((::DIES:: ))
<KickstartSK> I meant newbie here in the MBI! I haven’t seen you before!! GEEZ!
<LingXiao> <Josie> ::didn’t yell or anything. XD just stressed the word newbie. XD:: Then yes, I’ve been here ::mun thinks:: almost a year. How long have you been um… a vigilante?
<LingXiao> … what? ::controlling her temper::
<KickstartSK> About 4 years
<SypherSK> ::curious:: So, what brings you by, Kickstart?
<WaylonNolway> ::Swallows a lump in his throat:: I was approached by this fellow last year who offered me money…quite a large sum…if I would give him inside information, or transfer important files and items to him on a regular basis…
<LingXiao> And you TOOK him up on that offer? Who is this? How many times have you dealt with him? ::trying not to raise her voice but is oh so ticked::
<KickstartSK> ::shrugs:: nothing. Just coming by to see how things where. it’s been a while since I was last here.
<WaylonNolway> Yes…I…I accepted his money…and I’ve met with him about a dozen times over the past few months…
<SypherSK> ::nods:: Well, things here are… pretty much like usual. Though, for once, the building’s intact.
<WaylonNolway> And I don’t know his full name…he told me to call him “Xander”
<LingXiao> <Josie> ::chuckles at Sypher::
<KickstartSK> ::chuckles::
<LingXiao> Holy kats! ::stands:: How could you do something like that?! ::huffs… <calm down Ling…>:: What were you thinking, officer?
<WaylonNolway> ::Cringes:: I was in debt…I have a gambling addiction…I was in danger of losing my apartment…plus I just got…greedy.
<KickstartSK> ((<Nolway> I was thinking of dead flies and whipped cream…<Ling> I *had* to ask….))
<WaylonNolway> ((::DIES::))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: <Ling> Now don’t start playing insane to get off!))
<LingXiao> ::puts a paw to her forehead:: And let me guess, you DID take that dark matter sample, didn’t you?
<LingXiao> ((::deadboth::))
<KickstartSK> You look changed somehow tho’ Sy…..::leans head to one side, arching a brow::
<WaylonNolway> ::Seemingly unable to say anytihng more, he nods::
<SypherSK> ::blinkblinks, looks down at himself, he shouldn’t look any different, but… without the ability to reform his body and clothes at will is somewhat more rumpled than usual and has taken on more normal proportions, ie: while he hasn’t gotten fat, he’s definitely no longer an exact perfect weight for his height either::
<SypherSK> ::cursed donut addiction::
<KickstartSK> Man you miss out alot when doing outside-o-town vigilante stuff….
<LingXiao> ::paces in her office:: Great… just great… Do you even know what sort of things this “Xander” has done with this information? With the Dark Matter even?
<SypherSK> Just having a little… personal problem. ::not sure about telling about losing his CyberKat powers::
<LingXiao> <Josie> How come you’re a vigilante anyway? You don’tlook like a SWAT Kat.
<WaylonNolway> He…said it was for his employer.
<LingXiao> That’s it?
<SypherSK> ((<Sy and KS> ::at the same time:: She/I’m not a SWAT Kat. <Josie> ::blinks, looks to Sy:: How would you know?! <Sy> Uhhh…))
<LingXiao> ((::DIES::))
<KickstartSK> ((LOL!!))
<KickstartSK> I ain’t a SWAT Kat. You don’t have to be a SWAT Kat to be a vigilante.
<WaylonNolway> Yes. I never questioned what he wanted with the things I gave him.
<LingXiao> <Josie> I guess not… just I thought they were the only two around.
<KickstartSK> They take care of MKC itself. I go around here and there.
<LingXiao> Of course not… you were just an info gopher… ::glares at him:: How did you contact him?
<WaylonNolway> He…he would call me on the phone and tell me to meet him in the alleyway across the street from Headquarters.
<KickstartSK> ((<KS> I once saved the earth from some aliens yaknow. Made them believe the Mosquito is a threatened species!))
<SypherSK> ((::DIES!::))
<LingXiao> ((::dead!::))
<LingXiao> When was the last time you were in contact with him?
<WaylonNolway> Fifteen minutes ago…that’s why I’ve come here…I’m in fear for my life.
<LingXiao> <Josie> Well… we kinda help them with “taking care of Megakat City”. ::smiles:: And the Enforcers.
<KickstartSK> I know. I got a friend who’s cousin works here. He tells her about the stuff and she informs me about it in case help is needed
<WaylonNolway> He was angry when I told him that you came to me about the Dark Matter rock…I’m afraid they might try to kill me to remain anonymous…
<LingXiao> <Josie>::curious:: So how come you’re not an Enforcer or a Meg?
<KickstartSK> Nope.
<LingXiao> <Josie>Why?
<KickstartSK> Why I’m not a Megs? Don’t see a reason to be. I like to follow my own rules.
<SypherSK> ::listens curiously, closing the laptop as he figures he won’t be fiddling with it for a few… and just as well, it was giving him a headache::
<KickstartSK> And sometimes, you have to bend and stretch some rules in order to cross lines. You can’t do that as Enforcer or Megs
<LingXiao> … you told him about me questioning you? Great. ::sighs:: You will be placed under arrest, you understand that don’t you? And put in a safe house. If you cooperate with us, you MAY get your sentance lessened.
<LingXiao> <Josie>::uh oh. hit wrong button. Yer talkin’ to Miss Rules here XD:: And who says your rules are right?
<WaylonNolway> ::Nods feverishly, near tears:: Yes, yes…just lock me up, please. I’ll testify, I’ll do anything you want…I’m sorry…. ::Buries his face in his paws, letting his hat drop to the floor::
<KickstartSK> No one. A line’s a line. But you gotta bend and stretch a rule alittle once in a while. it’s the best way to catch a bad guy sometimes. ::mun has been reading too much of “A long Halloween” lately….::
<SypherSK> ::uh oh… wonders if he should get involved or suddenly have a burning need to do some paperwork in the office… doesn’t know what to say himself… his Dad’s a SWAT Kat… yet, he’s acting MBI head::
<LingXiao> ::siighs. feels sorry for the poor guy. puts a paw on his shoulder:: It’ll be alright…
<LingXiao> <Josie> Rules are meant to guide us, we can’t just pick and choose which to follow and when. There’s a reason why we have to follow the proper protocols, to keep corruption and abuse low.
<LingXiao> <Josie>::would make Feral proud she would XD::
<KickstartSK> You’ve been a enforcer, right?
<WaylonNolway> ::Nods slowly, taking his paws away from his face and leaning back in the chair, somewhat more at ease but still on the verge of a nervous breakdown, it seems::
<LingXiao> <Josie> Yes.
<KickstartSK> Thought so. ’cause you remind me of a friend o’ mine, Rosa McBlossom. She too is strict about rules and protocols. You’d come great along
<WaylonNolway> ((<Feral> ::Won’t be so forgiving…nobody trashes his office and gets off that easy!::))
<LingXiao> ::sighs:: Just take a deep breath, Nolway. ::smiles softly:: This… this might actually help us out, y’know.
<LingXiao> ((::dies::))
<SypherSK> ((<Feral> ::makes Nolway put everything back in place… using tweezers held between his teeth!::))
<WaylonNolway> Huh? How? ::Blinks dumbly at her::
<WaylonNolway> ((::DIES::))
<SypherSK> ::is now once again pretending to half-fiddle with the laptop while the girls talk::
<LingXiao> <Josie> ::shrugs:: Perhaps so. But I was trained and through my experience, the rules work.
<LingXiao> ((<Sy>::doesn’t want to have to break up a fight XD girls might beat him!::))
<KickstartSK> Hate to burst ya bubble toots but…::grins alittle:: not always
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))
<LingXiao> Well, this Xander might be wanted for some other crime or another. Plus any information you gave him will help us to understand what he’s involved in.
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> ::puts on a helmet and ducks as Josie and KS go at it, Josie’s chainsaw blade clanging against KS’ sword, has no idea where they got the weapons that came from nowhere, just hopes he can crawl away unnoticed::))
<KickstartSK> ((LOL!))
<LingXiao> <Josie>::quirks brow:: “toots”? ::shakes her head:: How professional.
<WaylonNolway> ::Nods:: I can tell you now it mostly had to do with the Cyberbeings, prior to his interest in the dark matter.
<LingXiao> ((::DIIES::))
<LingXiao> ((<Josie>::beating mun:: Stop making me like Alexandria! <Mun> Gah! I’m not I’m not! I swear! ))
<KickstartSK> ::does a small ironic bow:: thankyou
<LingXiao> Really? He… happen to mention who his employer is?
<WaylonNolway> ::Scrunches his brow in thought:: No. No names, but I…I think he’s a scientist or something.
<LingXiao> <Josie>::sighs and stands:: Don’t get smug… Kickstart. I’d like to see YOU go through through the Academy to see if you’d make it. ::goes over to the sink to put her cup away::
<LingXiao> ((- onna those through s XD))
<SypherSK> ::does a quick check to see Kickstart’s reaction to that::
<LingXiao> Scientist eh? Hmm… ::leans against her desk in thought::
<KickstartSK> ::a ninjastar flings out, and *ZAKZ* into the wall, followed by 2 more in the same spot, ala Robin Hood:: <Kickstart> I’d like to see you go through years of training to reach just the *middle* skill of a ninja.
<WaylonNolway> Yes…
<SypherSK> ::resists urge to palm face:: <This is NOT going to be pretty…>
<WaylonNolway> I’m tired and shook up….I need to rest…can we continue this later…? Just do what it is you’ve got to do with me…
<LingXiao> Then come on. ::motions for him to stand:: I’ll take you down to booking and you’ll have to spend night in jail, until I speak with my chief. So… ::sighs, hates arresting a fellow Enforcer:: You have the right to remain silent… ::reads mirandas:: You understand these rights?
<LingXiao> <Josie>::assumes they were on the wall near her?::
<WaylonNolway> ::Stands, and nods slowly:: I do.
<KickstartSK> ::right abover where her hand with the cup is. Not so it cuts tho’::
<SypherSK> ((<Oven Mitt Hanging on Wall> ::is shaped like a cow with big round eyes, now skewered, eyes are huge in shock::))
<KickstartSK> ((*DEAD*!!!!))
<LingXiao> ((::DIES!::))
<WaylonNolway> ((Poor moo-moo cow…))
<WaylonNolway> ((<Taurus Bulba> Heathens!))
<LingXiao> <Josie>::gasps. narrows eyes and turns around:: Very cute! ::says angrily:: You think that’s supposed to be impressive?! Geez you nearly took my paw off with those things! >.<! ::clenches fist::
<LingXiao> ((LOL!))
<SypherSK> ((<Bulba> ::means to have all burger joints abolished once he’s in charge, such barbaric, disgusting institutions::))
<WaylonNolway> ((LOL))
<LingXiao> Alright then, this way. ::guides Nolway out of her office, doesn’t cuff him though, and down to booking. signs him in, filling out the paper work quickly. takes him to a cell with one of the guards::
<LingXiao> ((LOL!))
<KickstartSK> ::Smirks:: if I had wished to do that, I woulda used my katana
<WaylonNolway> ::Plops down on the cot/bed thing::
<SypherSK> ::hoping to intervene:: Kickstart, I know you know what you’re doing, but please… ::gives her a sort of pleading look… somewhat firm, but more pleading::
<LingXiao> <Josie> You also damaged Federal property! This place gets wrecked enough. ::grrs folds arms::
<SypherSK> ((Actually, the MBI’s private property. Gak! ::gets whacked by Josie::))
<WaylonNolway> ::Mostly, he’s now worried about what exactly is going to be said to Feral…can already see himself referred to as “The Traitor” in the future…it’s not untrue, but still…::
<LingXiao> <guard>::shuts locks cell.:: <Ling> Just rest for now, okay? But be prepared tomorrow to give us everything you know.
<KickstartSK> ::chuckles softly:: dun worry Sy, I’m not here for a fight. As for the wall, well….at least it helped you get rid of a few roaches…::goes over, picks out the ninjastars, one of them having pierced through a cochroach::
<LingXiao> ((::laughs:: mun wasn’t sure XD))
<WaylonNolway> ::Nods:: Yes, ma’am…
<SypherSK> ::blinks at that, then offers a soft chuckle:: You know, if you can take them out in numbers, we should talk business.
<WaylonNolway> ((<Feral> What?! <Ling> I said he sold info to crooks! <Feral> I don’t care about that…he trashed my office?! Give him the chair!))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: <Feral> ::privately, is so upset because he suspects Nolway read his diary, it was misplaced::))
<LingXiao> <Josie>::glares at Kickstart the whole time:: I can’t believe you’re encoraging her, SYPHER. ::says sternly, then exits the room in a huff::
<LingXiao> ((::dies!::))
<LingXiao> ((::dies Sy too::))
<LingXiao> ::sighs:: See you in the morning, Nolway. ::turns and exits with the guard::
<KickstartSK> ::just bursts out laughing::
<WaylonNolway> ((brb!))
<SypherSK> ::wince::
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> Hey, she put emphasis on my name! Like it was some kinda insult! ::looks up “Sypher” in all languages to see Dark Kat was making some sort of private joke::))
<LingXiao> ((::DEAD:: maw))
<SypherSK> (( to see IF even!))
<LingXiao> ::then goes to inform her chief about it all, and he’s obviously not pleased XD both work something out::
<KickstartSK> I better get going before she sends a protocol book in my neck ::grins::
<LingXiao> <Josie>::didn’t hear any laughter, went straight to onna the offices to sit at a cubicle and calm herself down.::
<SypherSK> She’s just a bit of a stickler for the rules. You don’t need to heckle her like that.
<KickstartSK> Dun worry I won’t
<SypherSK> ((<Josie> Oh, NOW he sticks up for me! <Sy> But, if I’d… But then… If there weren’t a conflict it’d get bor… Oh, nevermind. I can’t win. ::beat head on desk::))
<LingXiao> ((::dies!:: ))
<SypherSK> ::just nods:: She’s a good agent, just a bit more… rule-oriented, I guess, than most of us.
<LingXiao> <chief>::makes a few calls to prepare a safehouse for Nolway to be taken to the next day::
<KickstartSK> (LOL))
<LingXiao> ((<Sy> She wouldn’t let us make prank calls! ;_; I mean… we were just harrassing the villains… <Kickstart> ::gasps:: no way! I bet she’s really EVIL! <Sy> O_o; <Kickstart>::shrugs:: y’never know. ))
<KickstartSK> ::nods:: she’s got alot to learn if she says she’s only been here for 1 year. its always a good idea to be able to bend and stretch the rules a bit
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: <Kitten T-Bone> And, she wouldn’t let me beat up that Dark Kat kid! ::sullk::))
<LingXiao> ::goes back to her office and notes Nolway’s hat is still there. takes it up ‘n sighs. now she has to call Sypher::
<LingXiao> ((::dead::))
<SypherSK> Well… We need at least one stickler around here with the rest of us rule-benders. ::nyargh, it’s hard to be neutral::
<LingXiao> ((<Sy> WHY WON’T YOU ALL BE HAPPY?!))
<KickstartSK> ::just chuckles::
<KickstartSK> ((DEAD))
<LingXiao> ::dials up the MBI, hopin’ to talk to Sy. KS prolly might wanna eaves drop. ;D::
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: <Sy> ::stuffs donuts in everyone’s mouths and crawls into a little hole, sticking out a Swiss flag and waving it about::))
<LingXiao> ((LOL!!))
<SypherSK> ::blinks at the phone:: Excuse me. ::stands and goes to pick it up::
<LingXiao> ::listens to da ringing of da phoneeey::
<KickstartSK> ::nods, then decides to hear if it’s someting interesting::
<SypherSK> ::picks up:: MegaKat Bureau of Investigation.
<LingXiao> Hello, this is Detective Xiao of the Enforcers. I need to speak with Lt. Greypaw.
<SypherSK> This is he.
<LingXiao> Oh, Sypher… good. I’ve got some bad news that I figured the MBI needed to be aware of.
<SypherSK> <Oh, not *more*….> Bad news? What’s happened?
<KickstartSK> ::ears are perked to full attention while she looks like she’s concentrated on her ninjastars::
<LingXiao> It seems that ::sighs:: one of our officers has been secretly dealing with a Mr. Xander for some time now, exhanging information, sharing files, etc. for money. ::sounds a bit embarrassed::
<SypherSK> ::ba-links:: What… sort of information?
<LingXiao> I’m not quite sure yet, as we’re going to question him later. Mostly things concerning the cyberkats.
<LingXiao> Is what he said this Xander was concerned over.
<SypherSK> ::can’t quite cover up a soft groan:: That can’t be good… ::wonders if it has anything to do with the guys who kidnapped Prot::
<LingXiao> However, it gets worse. The last time he dealt with him, a few days ago, he gave over a pice of dark matter to this guy. Stole it from evidence. I went to look for it today to check something, and the one in charge said he was the last to look at it, and it was gone. That’s how I discovered it was him. He just confessed to me what he’d done.
<LingXiao> ((piece not pice))
<SypherSK> Oh, no…
<SypherSK> ::doesn’t know what else to say, knows Ling is fully aware of just how bad that could prove to be::
<LingXiao> The officer has been arrested and we’re going to put him in a safe house tomorrow. He… informed this Xander of my questioning him about the dark matter, and obviously this Xander might send someone to silence him.
<KickstartSK> ::arches brow, listening…::
<LingXiao> He’s cooperating with us though, and we’ll get more information out of him.
<SypherSK> ::nods to himself:: I… don’t know what you’d feel was appropriate to tell me, but whatever you can tell me of just what sort of information he gave out, would be most appreciated.
<KickstartSK> ((<Ling> Even if we have to use recordings of Barney or the Teletubbies!! <Sy> Dear GAWD what kind of SICK and CRUEL person ARE YOU!!!??))
<SypherSK> ((::snortDIES!:: <Ling> We even have tapes of the only three episodes ever made of Extreme Sesame Street! <Sy> You’re INFELINE!))
<LingXiao> Right. I’ll be contacting you tomorrow as soon as we’ve gotten everything we can about this, mainly with the cyberkats and the dark matter. Have you heard of a Xander perchance?
<LingXiao> (( ::DIES BOTH:: ))
<SypherSK> Thank you, Detective. And… ::thinks:: The name isn’t immediately striking a cord, but he could be related to those fellows I told you about earlier who were interested in the CyberKats.
<KickstartSK> ((<Sypher> If your talking about that guy from Buffy, I have to disappoint you, I don’t watch that much TV….<Ling> :.groans:: ))
<LingXiao> Yes… I was thinking that as well. If so that will make things a little bit easier. ::sighs::
<LingXiao> ((LOL!))
<SypherSK> Yes… Though maybe more dangerous.
<WaylonNolway> ((Back finally. ::Has actually been looking in for a while::))
<LingXiao> Sypher… while I have you… are you feeling alright? ::remembering what Syntax told her about Kaeru::
<LingXiao> ((WB))
<WaylonNolway> ((TY))
<KickstartSK> ((wb!))
<SypherSK> ((WB!))
<SypherSK> For the most part. It’s a new experience, but I’m adjusting.
<WaylonNolway> ((::Scrolls up to read thru all this stuff lol::))
<LingXiao> Miss Bombay informed me of what happened with that Kaeru person.
<LingXiao> ::so spill it to KS! ahahaha mun make Sy talk::
<SypherSK> ::wonders how much Syntax told Ling:: Exactly… What all did she say?
<KickstartSK> hrrmmm…..::listening…::
<SypherSK> ::oooo…. Ling-mun is so evil::
<LingXiao> Well, a lot actually. Something about when miss Kaeru came in contact with that dark matter, she… or it… managed to absorb your… cyberkat half?
<SypherSK> ::slumps a bit:: Yes, that’s exactly what happened. I can still sense it, but only distantly.
<LingXiao> ::is talking on her cell btw, in case of Enforcer taps or something XD::
<LingXiao> ::mun don’t think they do that but meh::
<KickstartSK> ::blinks…:: absorb…? ::muttered::
<WaylonNolway> ((Agh, and I think I must depart, guys. Have to get up early tomorrow…rather later today LOL for a doctor’s appointment.))
<LingXiao> I see… Miss Bombay asked me to help search for her and- oh ::chuckles at herself:: in all this time I’ve forgotten to mention, if she hasn’t already, that she will be staying with me for awhile, until things calm down the those arrays, and until she can get more comfortable and blend in. I don’t want to put her at any risk by having her stay at the MBI… what with its history of… break ins and all.
<LingXiao> ((maw. ::hugs:: Night Koosh!))
<WaylonNolway> ((::hugs for all!:: Seeya!))
*** WaylonNolway has quit IRC (Exit: )
<SypherSK> ((Nights, Kooshie!))
<KickstartSK> ((night dude! ::hugs:: and people, I’m gonna have to go soon too. Could we mayhaps finish the phonetalk and let KS be on her way off to somewhere?))
<SypherSK> ::blinks, then smiles:: Well, I’m glad to hear she has a good place to stay.
<LingXiao> ((lol okiee))
<KickstartSK> ::merely arches a brow::
<LingXiao> Oh… I better go, I need to meet with a few other of my superiors to discuss this business with that officer.
<SypherSK> Alright. Thanks for letting me know what’s going on, Detective Xiao.
<LingXiao> I’ll contact you tomorrow. And its no problem, Lt. Greypaw. Good bye. ::hangs up and exits office::
<SypherSK> ::hangs up, looks back out in the breakroom for KS…. if she’s still there::
<KickstartSK> ::is still there, looking like being busy polishing her katanas. Finishes and sheaths katana::
<SypherSK> Sorry about that….
<SypherSK> ::coming back in::
<KickstartSK> It’s alright. I need to get going anyway. And don’t worry ::grins:: I won’t bug your newbie. Much ::grins even more, then disappears out the window::
<LingXiao> <Josie> ;_;
<SypherSK> ::shakes his head after her and sighs abit, reminded of Josie::
*** LingXiao is now known as JosieLyons
<JosieLyons> ::nobody likes me everybody hates me I’ll just go eat woooooorms XD nah doesn’t feel that way::
<KickstartSK> ((and I am off. Bye people! Send me the log someone!! ::Huggles!:: ))

<KickstartSK> ((*huggle*))
*** KickstartSK has left #mbi_sk
<JosieLyons> ((you still got energy left, Krismun?))
<SypherSK> ((A bit. <Sy> You’re going to make me make up with Josie, aren’t you? ::cringe::))
<JosieLyons> ((::laughs:: <Kris> Well I could get her mun to beat you up and call you jerk whenver she sees you. <Sy> y’know what, that’s okay ^^;))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))
<JosieLyons> ((er get JOISE to do that))
<JosieLyons> ::is lingering in one of the rooms someplace in the MBI::
<JosieLyons> ::butnotinthebasement! ;D::
<SypherSK> ::wonders if he should seek her out or wait for her to come out of hiding, ponders::
<JosieLyons> ::could come out of hiding. XD weary of the breakroom, wants to get another cup of coffee. so makes her way back there. peeks in to check to see if Kickstart is gone::
<SypherSK> ::issa staring out the window, chewing the end of a pencil into a pulp as he thinks and frets::
<JosieLyons> ::sighs:: Good she’s gone… ::goes to get a new cup and pour s’more coffee::
<SypherSK> ::hearing her, blinks, snaps out of it… gnaws on the pencil sommore as he settles on what to say… finally takes it out of his mouth and turns to Josie:: A… Agent Lyons… I’m sorry if it sounded like I wasn’t… supporting you back there….
<JosieLyons> ::blinks, turns:: Its fine… I guess you’re just biased since you’ve known her awhile, longer than me. ::sips her coffee:: But do you agree with what she said? About bending the rules, and how that works better?
<SypherSK> I wouldn’t say it works better, no. Sometimes, in the right situation, yes, I think following the rules can seem like a handicap… depending on the situation and the rule, it might well be.
<SypherSK> ::pauses, fidgets with the pencil:: But, that doesn’t mean I think bending the rules is a necessity… and certainly nothing that should be taken lightly.
<JosieLyons> ::sighs:: I saw the SWAT Kats themselves in action… and they did help while bending the rules… but… its just not something I’d condone for just anyone… not even them… but… Kickstart was so… smug. I should have kept my temper in check but I just felt like I dunno… I was inferior or something.
<SypherSK> ::blinks:: It’s hardly inferior… In fact, I think it’s harder to do this job while sticking to the rules.
<JosieLyons> It is, and sometimes its like nobody else in the city appreciates the help the MBI or Enforcers give.
<SypherSK> What? You mean like the regular populace.
<SypherSK> ?
<JosieLyons> ::nods:: Yeah…
<JosieLyons> Heck even some of my own family heckles me at times. Not just because of um… my getting booted off the Enforcers, but because “you guys nor the Enforcers can handle anything, good thing you have the SWAT Kats!”
<SypherSK> ::blinks at that:: I… don’t guess I’d ever thought of it way…
<JosieLyons> I am grateful for the SWAT Kats help, and despite their methods I’m glad they’ve done so much.
<JosieLyons> Don’t get me wrong. Its just… something that kinda bugs me sometimes.
<JosieLyons> ((<JOsie> And if that Razor wasn’t so gosh darn cute! ::hearts for eyes:: <Sy> –; ))
<SypherSK> Mmm… I suppose it’s just the vigilante deal… People get interested in that sort of thing… ::trying to analyze it without letting personal thoughts interfere, but can’t help one thought:: I bet they take the SWAT Kats for granted on some level too though… I mean, what would everyone say if the SWAT Kats ever… y’know, failed? ::doesn’t like that thought much given failure’d probably mean they died and can’t quite….
<SypherSK> hide the quiver in his voice::
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: <Sy> ::eyes Josie thoughtfully after that, then pronounces:: Hmm… Naw. I don’t think you’d be a good mother. Sorry. Give up on Razor.))
<JosieLyons> … failed? Well… I suppose they probably would treat them with the same disdain as they often put towards us…
<SypherSK> ::nods, must be in a very subdued mood to actually allowing that people have nasty sides rather than believing the best of everyone… hmm… give the boy another donut:: I guess that’s just.. how people are… sometimes.
<JosieLyons> ((::dies:: <Josie> Mother? O_o; <Sy> Daddoo needs a good lady- er I mean uh… I dunno, what about your mother? oooh I’ve got a motherboard in the oven! Er Hard drive! Later! <Josie>… @_o;))
<SypherSK> ((::SOOOOODEAD!:: <Josie> Whoa… Maybe I shouldn’t have suggested he take a bath yesterday… I think he shorted out.))
<JosieLyons> Yeah… I suppose so. ::chuckles:: And I shouldn’t take such things to heart. ::smiles at Sy::
<JosieLyons> ((::dead!::))
<SypherSK> Well… I guess it would be hard with… even your own family not always supporting you….
<JosieLyons> Meh… its mainly my siblings and a few extended… I think my parents are just glad I’ve not blown up or been eaten by Godzilla or something.
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> Of course, my extended family doesn’t exactly always support me, but they don’t heckle me either… ::frowns:: Actually, they just kinda pat me on the head and give me cookies to shut up… I wonder…))
<JosieLyons> ((::dies!::))
<SypherSK> ::chuckles:: Well, that’s good. I think we can at least assure them Godzilla won’t get you… Can’t make any promises about rip-offs made by Viper though…
<JosieLyons> Ugh! Don’t remind me of that freak! I can’t stand the smell of mowed grass now after that incident… Good thing you found out about the bleach.
<SypherSK> Oops… Sorry.
<JosieLyons> ::smiles:: That’s okay.
<SypherSK> ::wry grin::
<JosieLyons> So… you sure you’re feeling alright, Sypher? Without your um… other half?
<SypherSK> Just a little worried about it… ::leans back in his chair:: And, about just how much I can contribute around here without it. I don’t exactly have any official combat training.
<JosieLyons> Really? Y’mean you didn’t download it or something like in the Matrix before you were… de-cyberkatted?
<SypherSK> I’ve always had some… basic knowledge of hand to hand fighting and using firearms, but I’ve no particular specialities.
<JosieLyons> Hmmm… it would be wise for you to learn combat skills then… I’m sure one of the agents could help… ::smiles at him a bit:: I could help you, if you wanted.
<SypherSK> I… ::ducks his head shyly:: Well, any help would be appreciated.
<JosieLyons> n_n Well then, whenever you’d like, I could help you. I may not know computers and other technological stuff, but I do know my fighting techniques.
<SypherSK> ::small grin:: Well, I’ve about ruptured a synapse with these codes here… I don’t suppose you have a moment?
<JosieLyons> ::chuckles:: Sure. Unless I’m called out, I have the time today.
<SypherSK> Alright. ::cut scene to gym?::
<SypherSK> ((::cut scene, pan in on shot of Sy with his head stuck thru the bleachers:: <Josie> Oh, I am so sorry! <Sypher> ::seeing stars:: It’s okay… Really….))

<JosieLyons> ((-4 hours later- <Josie and Sy>::sitting in karate gis in the middle of the mat in the gym.:: <Josie>::holds her paw out, opened, a donut rests in it:: Now, grubworm, when you snatch the donut from my paw, you will have completed your training. <Sy>::drools is hungry, snatches it lightning quick!:: <Josie> what the…? <Sy> You forget, Lyons-san, I am MBI.

<JosieLyons> ::issa pinned. grins:: Very good. You do know how to read someone the Mirandas too I hope? ::smiles teasing::
<SypherSK> Right to remain silent, anything you say can and will… etc?
<JosieLyons> ::Nods:: Yep. But its not over. Gotta cuff the suspect.
<SypherSK> If you mean for me to do that now, all I’ve got on me is bubble gum… and you’d have to wait for me to chew it up… ::slight smirk:: ((<Josie> Ewwwwww!))
<JosieLyons> ((::DEAD::))
<JosieLyons> Oh gross! ::tries to knee him in the gut (not too hard) but enough to get him off::
<SypherSK> ::kneed:: Oof! ::falls off::
<JosieLyons> ::gets up and grins:: You just let the suspect distract you. Its oh so fun when they try to run. ::smirks, being sarcastic::
<JosieLyons> ::offers her paw to help him up::
<SypherSK> ::takes the paw:: I’ll remember that. ::beats his mun for suggesting he use it to flip her, that’s not a Sy sort of thing!::
<JosieLyons> ((lol did he flip her? XD))
<SypherSK> ::nah, he’s too nice for that::
<JosieLyons> ::yeyee! XD smiles at him:: It shouldn’t be too hard for you to learn proper combat skills. Just stay in shape like you are and you’ll do fine. n_n
<SypherSK> ::chuckles:: If I’m going to do that, I think I’d better start practicing… Eh heh… Forgot the sort of effect all those donuts will have on the average kat…
<JosieLyons> ::grins:: You’re lucky, you haven’t had to worry about such as a cyberkat. ::pokes his bellah::
<SypherSK> I’m just starting to realize that. ::jumping back and stifling a giggle, rats, is ticklish::
<JosieLyons> ::snickers at his expression:: You okay?
<SypherSK> Yeah… I think I’m ticklish too….
<JosieLyons> ::mawww! thinks that’s so cute.:: Uh oh… that leaves you open for the dreaded tickle attack! ::tries to tickle his belly again!::
<SypherSK> Awk! ::trying to get away from her, goes stumbling back and nearly falls again::
<JosieLyons> ::giggling now:: oooo see I’m weaking you and effecting your balance! ::tries to tickle under his arms, wiggles her fingers menacingly XD::
<SypherSK> Hey! No fair! ::dodges, trying to stay out of reach::
<JosieLyons> ::laughs:: Criminals aren’t fair, Sypher! Salami Joe will defeat you someday with a giant feather. ::keeps tryin’ to get at him for a tickle or two::
<SypherSK> ::has to laugh:: NOoooo! Anything but that! ::tackles her again like he would Matrix, does have some experience in a tickle fight, but his and Matrix’ games usually involve lots of zapping her and there::
<JosieLyons> ((::dies:: <Sy> And sometimes he gets down right angry whenyou tickle him! ::rubs his jaw thinking when Matrix popped him one:: ;_; ))
<JosieLyons> ::tackled laughs:: ey! ::defends tryin’ to get ‘im at his ribs!::
<SypherSK> ((LOL! <Matrix> NO TICKLE! ::punch wildly!::))
<SypherSK> Awk! ::squirms around so his back’s to her, still sitting on her and grabs one of her legs/feet and tugs off her boot:: So, are you ticklish?! ::tickle foot::
<JosieLyons> ((LOL My mom and PK get evil when you tickle ‘em! XD They hate it and get all mad <g> ::can make brother laugh so hard he has to run to the bathroom though <g>::))
<JosieLyons> Hey no! Not my shoe!! I’m not ticklish! ::tries to kick her foot around to get him to let go::
<SypherSK> ((::snorks!:: My Mom just leaves the room… or puts on shoes… Since her feet are her weakness. Mwahahaaa.))
<SypherSK> ::tries to pin her foot:: You sure? ::tickletickle::
<JosieLyons> ((LOL! ::is ticklish at her knees more than anywhere for some reason XD::))
<JosieLyons> ::busts up laughing:: gah! get off! ::tries to shove at him::

<SypherSK> Whoaha! ::lets go and gets off:: Don’t make threats like that!
<JosieLyons> ::slowly stops laughin’ as she grabs her sock ‘n boot from him:: Sorry but… I can’t take too much of that. ::returns her footwear on her feetsy XD:: You goober. ::smiles at him. mawww she’s crushin’ on Sypher::
<SypherSK> ((::as his mun dies, remembering a friend of a friend who screamed bloody murder if you tickled her… sort of a laugh/scream and ultimately got into such giggling hysterics you could just poke her and get a squeal::))
<JosieLyons> ((::DEAD::))
<SypherSK> ::beams proudly::
<JosieLyons> ::razzes::
<SypherSK> ::finally stands, chuckling:: Thanks for the lesson, Agent Lyons…
<JosieLyons> ::ties up her boot and stands as well:: No problem, Sypher… and… ya don’t haveta call me that. Josalyn or Josie is fine. ::slight blush. miz formal will make an acception::
<JosieLyons> ((exception… ))
<SypherSK> Oh. Alright then, Josie. ::mun isn’t sure if he’d be more likely to chose that over Josie, but it’s easier on her, so there::
<JosieLyons> n_n ::hee! feeling a bit silly:: So yeah, if I have time tomorrow, I can help you out with some training… you should learn how to keep in shape.
<SypherSK> Sure!
<JosieLyons> Not like you need it or anything yet. ::smiles telling self to stop smiling because it hurts because is doing it too much XD::
<SypherSK> I’m sure it won’t hurt to get in the habit. ((So, I can continue my other habit! ::munch donut::))
<JosieLyons> ((::laughs::))
<JosieLyons> ::nods:: So… I’m going to the break room for something to drink… wanna come with me?
