<Protocol> 3 So RPG on?
<SypherSK> ::so, was last thinking things thru with Josie, oblivious to the main plot and the danger of a Prot visit::
*** A_Shrubbery is now known as Liz_Stormcrow
*** _Matt_ is now known as Matt_brb
<Protocol> <Josie>::also went to make those phone calls::
<Liz_Stormcrow> ::still on the other planet, has left Felony and decided to go look for Leo::
<Protocol> ::makes her way down the street, using as much self control as possible to not just explode and destroy the whole city with her XD makes way to the MBI::
<LeoSK> ::is sitting on a rock…yes a rock starring off into the distance::
<SypherSK> ::is sitting at Jason’s desk, gnawing the end off some hapless pen as he thinks::
<Liz_Stormcrow> ::walks up, a little frazzled:: Agen- . . . I mean, Leo?
<Protocol> ((<Leo>::is drawing a pretty picture of the Zarhabi landscape. basically just poking dots here and there on brown paper:: <LS> What’s that supposed to be? <Leo> The Zarhabi landscape. See, that’s sand… and sand here, and oh sand right there. <LS> ::thinks the heat’s gotten to him::))
<Liz_Stormcrow> ((::DEAD!::))
<Protocol> ::blasts the doors open to the MBI goes down the hall, sees Josie:: Where is Sypher?! <Josie>::squeals:: um… uh… ::drops phone::
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))
<SypherSK> ::hears the bellowing, pokes his head out, eyes widen at the sight of her::
<LeoSK> Hmm? Yes, Liz?
<Protocol> ::sees Sypher:: I have to talk to you! Now!
<Liz_Stormcrow> It’s Protocol. Dark Kat’s sent her back to Felinus!
<Liz_Stormcrow> And please call me Stormcrow.
<SypherSK> ::wince:: Alright…. ::not sure what else to say, what else does one say to Prot on a rampage? at least what does one say when, “AHHHHHH!” and running is out of the question?::
<Protocol> <Felony>::wandered off to the nearby city to see if there’s anything worth lootin’ before DK gets his take::
<LeoSK> ::blinks:: Oh my…::sighs::
<Protocol> Its Dark Kat! He’s really done it this time!
<Protocol> <Josie>::regains her composure ‘n hangs up the phone, curious::
<Liz_Stormcrow> What are we going to do?
<SypherSK> ::blinks, steps fully out into the hall:: What’s he done?
<Protocol> He’s gathered a large army, including several kats with abilities and a few of his cyberdemons, and taken them off to the Zarhabi’s planet! He has this lame idea that it was their fault he lost the city on the moon, ha! So he wants to conquer them, but there’s next to nothing left to conquer! The planet stopped rotating, not sure for how long, but long enough to turn it into a large ball of sand!
<LeoSK> I…I have no idea..::climbs down:: We may be in deeper than we thought…
<SypherSK> ::blinkblink:: He… went to another planet… But… Everyone there is…. dead?
<Liz_Stormcrow> ::twists the sleeve of her robe nervously::
<Protocol> What few Zarhabi remain are frozen, I suppose their last attempt to save their race. A few in robots have attacked but were taken down by his troops.
<Protocol> He’s set up camp, already claiming the planet for himself. And you should know… one of your agents and another of your friends are up there… Archeao and Stormcrow.
<Liz_Stormcrow> <Bexa> ::was back in the hallways, wandering around, follows up the hall as he hears Prot come in::
<SypherSK> How did he get there?!
<Protocol> <Josie>::standing a bit behind Sy now, eyes wide, not sure what to make of all this::
<Protocol> ::easily heard by Bexa XD she bellowed but now is slightly calming down:: Its complicated… using some Zarhabi technology, he managed to transport us all there by … wire or something… we were… zapped there is the best I can explain it. However… ::growls a bit:: we landed on the dark side of the planet, and he used ME as his energy source to get us to the other side of the planet. He nearly finished me off.
<Liz_Stormcrow> <Robert_Bexorn> ::listens in from off to the side, and gasps:: Stormcrow . . .
<SypherSK> ::blinks:: Is there any way to get there again?
<Protocol> I… I don’t know… we could go to where we left in the first place… since I’ve gotten twice as much darkmatter… perhaps I can take some of us there again.
<LeoSK> ::growls:: None of this was supposed to happen…I…was gonna alert the others when Dark Kat, Globby and Prot were together….we would have captured them all! ::Punches that rock:: We were supposed to get them before they ever had the chnace to mobilize…Now you’re caught up in this and we have no way home…::sinks to his knees::
<Protocol> He had Hard Drive do all the co-ordinates.
<SypherSK> ::nods:: We can try that. It’s worth a shot anyway. ::looks to Josie::
<Liz_Stormcrow> ::sits down beside him:: There is one small hope. I told Protocol what was happening, and she said when she got back, she’d tell the MBI what happened.
<Protocol> <Josie>::nods:: Sure but… you heard her, he’s got a thousand or so working for him…
<Liz_Stormcrow> I don’t like to trust her, but it’s all we have.
<SypherSK> ::nods thoughtfully, looks to Prot:: Is there anything we can use against him?
<Liz_Stormcrow> <Robert_Bexorn> ::gets more and more scared and excited as he listens, finally can’t take it and steps out into view::
<LeoSK> I…You acctually beleive her?!
<Liz_Stormcrow> ::sighs:: I don’t have a choice. It’s better than having no hope at all.
<SypherSK> ((<Prot> Yes. Me. Hmm… And, I think I could throw you with enough force to do him serious damage. <Sy> That’s okay….)
<SypherSK> ::then looks up and sees Bexa, blinks, not sure what to say to him::
<Protocol> Heck if I know… I tried to destroy him before, but he happened to have set that up as a trap to send me back here…
<Liz_Stormcrow> ((*dies*))
<Protocol> ((::dead!::))
<SypherSK> ::frowns:: We need some sort of plan. There’s no way we can fight thousands.
<SypherSK> ((Er… a thousand.))
<Protocol> ::looks at Bexa as well:: Perhaps if you knew more with odd abilities… or if you had some Dark Matter of your own…
<SypherSK> ((<Bexa> Why are you looking at me? ::tug at collar:: Odd abilities… Really… My writing isn’t that sort of unique…))
<SypherSK> ::sighs:: The only agents here at the moment are what you see.
<Protocol> ((::dies::))
<Liz_Stormcrow> <Robert_Bexorn> What about the one I saw earlier?
<Protocol> Well then were bloomin’ doomed! :;throws her paws in the air::
<SypherSK> What, who?
<Protocol> <Josie> Who? ::to Bexa::
<SypherSK> ((<Sy and Josie> ::at once:: You don’t think we’re special?! <Prot> ::flatly:: No.))
<Liz_Stormcrow> He wouldn’t tell me his name. Very odd person; said he came from another place. ::describes Htargcm::
<Protocol> ((LOL!))
<Matt_brb> <Htargcm> :: in the kitchen, opens up the fridge, digs around :: What is all this crud? :: sniffs a left-over sandwhich :: Hrm…
<Liz_Stormcrow> ((lol))
<Liz_Stormcrow> ((BEXA!!!))
<SypherSK> Htargcm?
<Protocol> <Josie> What can he do? He’s just a regular kat… a bit off in the head maybe but…
<Liz_Stormcrow> <Robert_Bexorn> I don’t know. Like I said, he wouldn’t tell me his name.
<LeoSK> <Zechs> ::is now coming into view, has ear phones on, they blocked the Bekoning on teh l33t Prot::
<SypherSK> ((<Bexa> Bless you. <Sy> No, that’s his name. <Bexa> Bless you? Well, maybe that’s why he wouldn’t tell me.))
<Protocol> ((::dies!:: <Bexa>::sees Htargcm:: Hey! Mr. You! ))
<Matt_brb> <Htargcm> :: grabs the sandwhich, takes a bite out of it. Walks over to the table, looking at the newspaper. ::
<SypherSK> ::frowns in thought, doubts Htargcm will want to help unless the world he’s currently on is about to explode… and even then one never knows with that guy::
<Protocol> That loon still around? ::shakes her head::
<SypherSK> Well, he is an alternate version of McGrath, but….
<Liz_Stormcrow> <Robert_Bexorn> ::shrugs::
<Protocol> <Josie> Wait… maybe he can figure out the devices that were used to transport Dark Kat and the others… and maybe we could somehow send them all back, then destroy the equipent so it couldn’t be used again?
<LeoSK> <zechs>::and…since his mun wants to annoy, manges to bump into…Prot maybe?::
<SypherSK> Hmm… Can’t hurt to ask…
<Matt_brb> ((<Prot> :: backhands Zechs :: <Zechs> :: send thru the wall :: X_X <Leo> Hrm, there’s another char. down…))
<Protocol> ::bumped into, grrs turning around, glaring with her glowing red eyes at Zechs XD::
<Protocol> ((::dies::))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))
<LeoSK> <Zechs> Oh i’m so–GAH! ::falls back::
<Liz_Stormcrow> <Robert_Bexorn> ::meeps::
<SypherSK> ::blinks!:: Er… Protocol… ::trying to get her off “Maim” and back on “Maim Dark Kat”::
<Protocol> ::hisses at Zechs and looks back to Sypher:: Whot?
<SypherSK> Er… ::looking at those eyes:: Please don’t kill off one of the few we have on our side.
<Protocol> <Josie> How about we all go and see if Htrah… Hta… Htargcm… is around and willing? ^____^;;
*** Matt_brb is now known as Htargcm
<SypherSK> ::nods, gestures toward the breakroom, it’s where he’s seen Htargcm the most::
<Liz_Stormcrow> <Robert_Bexorn> A good idea. It’ll be nice not to have to call him Mr. Hey-U anymore.
<Protocol> <Josie>::turns and heads to the breakroom::
<Protocol> ::follows with her arms folded. Prot want to smash!::
<Htargcm> ((<Prot> :: bangs head on the ceiling periodically, leaving craters in it :: <Sy> :: sighs ::))
<SypherSK> ::heads for the breakroom, looks inside::
<Htargcm> :: is in there, finishing off the sandwhich ::
<Protocol> ((::dies::))
<LeoSK> <zechs> ::takes out headphones:: Wh-what’s going on?
<SypherSK> ((<Everyone> ::comes in, surrounds Htargcm:: <Htargcm> ::pausing mid-bite, looks around at all the serious faces:: I swear for the last time, I did NOT put the milk back in the fridge with the top off!))
<Protocol> <Josie> Oh good you’re here! ::smiles at Htargcm::
<Liz_Stormcrow> <Robert_Bexorn> ::follows Sy into the breakroom::
<Protocol> ((::diies!::))
<Liz_Stormcrow> ((::DEAD::))
<Htargcm> :: looks up, piece of lettuce hangs out side of mouth :: What do you want? :: slurps it up ::
<SypherSK> We were wondering if you could help us get to another planet to stop Dark Kat.
<SypherSK> ((<Htargcm> Sure… I can help you fly over the rainbow to Oz too… Say, can I borrow your phone first?))
<Protocol> ((<Htargcm> … Your sense of humor is odd y’know. You cyberkats need to work on that. ))
<Protocol> ((::dead::))
<Liz_Stormcrow> ((::dies::))
<SypherSK> ((::dies:: <Htargcm> I recommend holding the punchline for just a sec… Or maybe just plain *having* a punchline.))
<Protocol> ((LOL!!))
<Liz_Stormcrow> ((lol))
<Htargcm> Sure thing. Just allow me to put on my space-sneakers, and my space-hat, oh yeah, and let’s not forget my space-stockings, because I hear it’s cold in space.
<Htargcm> ((brb))
<Protocol> ::growls:: this is serious you time warped moron!
<Protocol> <Josie> ^^; Maybe we should explain things a bit more…?
<Liz_Stormcrow> <Robert_Bexorn> ::growls, fur stands up on his neck::
<SypherSK> Dark Kat left behind the transport equipment on this end… but we don’t know how to use it. We thought you might know something that would help.
*** Htargcm has quit IRC (Ping timeout for Htargcm)
<Liz_Stormcrow> ((<Sy> I think we scared him away.))
<Protocol> ((<chars>::stand, staring at Htargcm. getting more angry by the minute:: <Htargcm>::hopes his mun comes back soon before they keel me::))
<Protocol> ((LOL!))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: <Deceased Htargcm> ::joins McG:: <McG> Another of me bites the dust…. ::thumbs to an identical kat at his side:: Meet my fanfic incarnation. He’s dead too.))
<Liz_Stormcrow> ((::DIES::))
<Protocol> ((::dies!::))
<Protocol> ((<Protocol>::overheating with anticipation of destroying DK. explodes!:: <chars>::all sent flying to heaven:: Protocol!!! <Htargcm> Didn’t lay off the burritos did you? ))
<Liz_Stormcrow> ((::dead::))
<SypherSK> ((::SOOOODEAD!:: <Prot> ::latches onto him:: I’ll kill you all over! <Htargcm> GAK! Who let you in here?!))
<SypherSK> ((<Prot> I walked right in. The others kinda hurtled *thru* those pearly gates.))
<Protocol> ((::dies::))
<Liz_Stormcrow> ((::dead::))
<Protocol> ((man is swatkats.com ever coming back on line or did Xyanth and/or Razor forget to pay the bill?))
<LeoSK> ((Dunno…))
*** Htargcm has joined #mbi_sk
<SypherSK> ((I dunno… Sage heard they knew about and meant to fix it, but I’m starting to wonder…))
<SypherSK> ((WB!))
<Protocol> ((::noddles:: WB!))
<Htargcm> ((I’m gone for the rest of the evening most likely. Some kind of “emergency” :: rolls eyes ::))
<Protocol> ((lol okay Night then))
<Liz_Stormcrow> ((oh no!))
<LeoSK> ((Wb, and sorry))
<SypherSK> ((Kies! Nights, Matt!))
<Liz_Stormcrow> ((goodnight))
<LeoSK> ((Nite!))
<LeoSK> ((Xyanth Cat: Domains run on yearly registrations. You pay about $15 to own the domain for a year. If you don’t pay for the next year by a certain time, they turn the domain off, but hold it for you until a certain day so you have time to reregister it. Razor said he’d be reregistering it either today or tomorrow.))
<Protocol> ((Aaaah))
<Protocol> ((::wonders if all the content was lost though…::))
<Liz_Stormcrow> ((ah))
<LeoSK> ((::blink:: I hoper not.))
<SypherSK> ((::nods, makes note to beat on Seek to ensure that re-registering *is* included with Fyresight’s regular payments::))
<Liz_Stormcrow> ((so what happens now?))
<LeoSK> ((WE…break to commercial?))
<Protocol> ((hrm… we pause or somethin’? maybe someone alerts the SKs too? ::mun dunno::))
<SypherSK> ((Er… Pause? ::is kinda stuck::)
<Protocol> RPG Pause!
