"I wonder why," Monica says with a laugh. "Someone was awfully lazy this morning. If you'd read your e-mail, you'd remember that we're supposed to find out who ordered those trucks that got stolen by that Mole thing. But I guess someone wasn't really thinking much this morning, hmmm?" she asks teasingly.Walking to the building, he puts his arm around Monica. Leaning in close, he whispers to her, "What are we doing here, I think I missed that part of the briefing...actually I think I missed all of the briefing..."
She beams a smile at John as he approaches. "About a year, ever since I graduated high school. Whatcha doing here? More super-hero stuff?" she asks, obviously hoping for something to add some excitement to her job."Why hello there, I think I've met you before"John says to the secretary once he places her. "You been working here long?"
Calinon said:Vincent, you feel someone touch your wings, startling you a bit. You had been so focussed on the goings on, that you barely noticed Doctor Worthy come up behind you. She just ran her finger down one of your wing folds, and is looking at her finger as if she expected something to come off.
"Interesting," she says, not noticing that you can see her, or that you noticed her do that.[\QUOTE]
Fully expanding his wings out and away from the Doctor (while being careful not to wreck anything) "Whoa lady!! You no touchy me, me no touchy you!! We understand each other here? Now what is so interesting about my wings?"
Calinon said:"We've stepped foot outside of EPIC HQ. I fully expect to be attacked in the next few minutes," Rebound jokes. "Seriously, Thunder said this place might be doing some illegal weapons dealings. Better safe than sorry," Rebound says in a whisper.
"I like dogs just fine. Well, once I've put them in their place," she says, returning to growling. She stops outside the door and continues to growl at the dogs, who are really straining to get at her.
"Sorry, they're really not liking you," one guard says, his guard straining at his leash.
"Yeah, don't know whats gotten into them," the other says.
You see a little dangerous grin on Monica's face, and you're not sure you like where this is going. Not that there's a dang thing you can do about it when she suddenly starts changing form, morphing into a full grown bengal tiger. She pads a short step towards the dogs, who have frozen in place. One lets out a small 'woof,' sounding like a canine 'WTF?' She lets out a roar and one dog backs up, plastering itself against its handler. The other, quite comically, faints and twitches on the ground. Both guards reach for their weapons as Monica shifts back to human.
"That's better," she says, looking at both you and Rebound. "What? Neither of you going to hold the door for me?" she says with a pout.
Both guards look rattled, but don't draw their guns, instead heading off towards a nearby guard house, pretty much carrying their terrified dogs with them.
Calinon said:"Just hold still," she says, exasperated, her hands on her hips. She blows a strand of hair from her eyes. She's kind of cute in a ditzy, geekish way.
