Epic M&M: Issue 4 (IC)

[Mimic]

"Michelle, get on to the War Room pronto. I need your report on today's incident and there are some things to discuss," Trailblazer says before the communicator breeps again.

"On my way." She replys.

She heads towards the War Room making a quick stop in the Mess Hall to grab some food before she goes in.

Sanjay
You go out looking for Monica. You'd think that finding a five foot, ten inch girl who has fur and a tail wouldn't be hard, but it looks like you're wrong. You check her room, but the only person in there is Cosmo. He's finishing attaching a window that Straightjacket is outside holding up.

"She's not here," Cosmo says. "It's not much fun here, anyway. She's only got a single bed," he laughs. "May as well forget it, man. She's probably off getting an itch scratched with someone else by now. Never known her to wait more than an hour when she's got her fur on."

Sanjay laughs at Cosmo joke, but abruptly stops and glares at him. "You're a funny guy, Cos. Let me know if you ever get itchy, and I'll rip your skin off for you.

"And you," he says, turning to Straitjacket. "Kitten? You dumbass, I'm sure she'll appreciate that." He looks at the window. "But hey, you guys are busy, I'll leave you to your work." As he turns to leave, he points at the window and turns it jello. "After all, you have lots to do."

OOC: He now intends to head back to his room to check his email regarding Sandstorm and ask ARIS if she knows where Monica is...that is if he leaves the room without getting tackled.

"Naw, we were just about done here. I guess Monica's room doesn't need a bedroom window, sport," he says laughingly as you turn to leave. "Doesn't look like we have a replacement window either. Shame that. Oh well, want to just move on to the next room big guy?" he asks Straightjacket, loud enough to annoy Sanjay.

"Hey, where did you come up with that Kitten nickname anyway, Straightjacket? Suits her pretty good, but it was like someone else called her that and the press had already picked up on it before the interview..."

Is Cosmo getting under your skin yet?

Sanchez comes over after the news. "Ok you two," she says to Straightjacket and Johan. "I'm going to need your help putting the new panes in the windows on the girl's dorm. Shouldn't take more than an hour," she adds, looking very tired herself.

"Just a second." Johan gets up slowly, letting out a yawn. As he walks after Sanchez, he mutters to himself: "I'm a scholar, I'm not really build for this..."

"Yeah, funny as I recall it somebody else came up with the nickname. However I just happen to be the one who doesn't try to play games with the press. Maybe that's why they like me. Sanjay, if you don't want to cause trouble you gotta learn to keep your yap shut when the press is around. Then again after this, I sorta think Kitten, er I mean Monica, will get you clear on that." with that, he motions Cosmo back to the repair work.

Sanjay stops at the doorway and turns around with a smirk on his face. “Oh, yeah, that's right, I called her ‘kitten’,” he says nodding. “Most people, though, can tell the difference between a pet name and a code name, but not you two. But I suppose you’d need to have had a girlfriend to be able to do that. You,” he says looking at Straightjacket and rolling his eyes, “probably have trouble getting any, what with your, uh, ‘dad’ always hanging around. Ever ask him if maybe he likes to watch?” He looks at the windowsill, and replaces the window, making sure it fits in snug and sealed.

“And Jackal was with Monica until you got all jealous of her,” he says to Cosmo. “Got to have your brother all to yourself, hey? That legal where you come from?” As he speaks, the jello begins to disappear into thin air.

Once it’s cleaned up, he turns back to the hallway to go his room. “Anyway, I don’t like playing at a contest of wits with unarmed opponents, it's just not fair. You girls have fun with your windows.”

"If I were you, I'd hope he doesn't come through that window after you. That would have been a low shot, even for me," Cosmo says with little humor, but that same taunting grin on his face.

"And get your stories straight. First off, the media grabbed up Kitten, not Straightjacket, so you go straighten it out if it bugs you. And second, Monica was mine, not Jackal's. He was getting out of control and threatening her, so I dumped her. I didn't want to see her hurt, you know, like Vince got hurt. And her flirting was just as agravating to Jackal as goat boy's wise cracks. But we had lots of fun before that. So if you want any tips, you let me know," he says with mock generosity.

"Look here little tin boy, if you expect me to clean up your screwups with the press, you've got another thing coming. I highly recommend you find a clue somewhere before you continue shooting your big mouth off about wits. Heck, I have to ignore more women throwing themselves at me than would be vaguely interested in metal polishing at all. Now why don't you just go off and buff the appropriate part somewhere, and leave your betters alone."With that John will simply turn back to his work and ignore Nuetron.

Sanjay ignores them and leaves, heading back to his room, his mood a bit more foul than before.

OOC: I play clueless Sanjay maybe too well I guess that's what happens when you write post with no contact to the boards. Anyhoo, I guess I can scratch in two more notches under 'Arch Nemises'...

Michelle
You make it to the War Room.

"Just... pretend your me," you hear Thunder say.

"I'd really rather..." the screen turns off. "not." The next word isn't one you've heard from Trailblazer before. "Oh, howdy ma'am," he says when he notices you.

"Just pretend I'm Thunder," he grumbles, sitting at the table and dropping his forehead to his hands. "What the hell made you think blowing up an entryway to the school dorm would be a good idea? Did I channel him pretty good? Too over the top? Enough emphasis on hell?"

Just then Vince comes walking down the hall.

"Oh joy," Trailblazer grumbles.

Vincent
You make it to the war room. Trailblazer looks rather miserable. Michelle looks miserable.

"Sit down, partner," Trailblazer says. "Let's see if I can channel Thunder again. What the hell were you thinking when you ignored the fact that Split had a gun to the back of Nurse Ogawa's neck!? Damnit, I'm starting to sound like him."

Johan
"Me too, sweetie," Sanchez says, overhearing you. "But there are eight of you, and that makes up for a lot. Besides, you earn points with me by helping."

You get to work replacing windows. Over in Monica's room, you hear a brief arguement, but it is short lived and Straightjacket and Cosmo keep working. You finish in under an hour, and are freed to do what you like.

You remember that you do have a mission tomorrow still.

Straightjacket
Neutron leaves, Cosmo laughs and you and he finish with the windows in this and three other rooms. In under an hour, you're all done and freed to go do what you like before you go to bed.

Neutron
You are completely frustrated by the time you reach your room. You slam the door and kick off your shoes. One shoe lands next to your door, where you see a furry paw attached to a long and furry leg.

"About time, sport," you hear from your bedroom door. You whip your head around to see Monica, in hybrid formed, dressed in her little sundress and a smile. "I'm not used to waiting so long," she purrs at you. "And I need a good backscratch after getting Rebound put to bed. Poor guy was wiped right out." She reads your expression. "Problems, sport?"
