*** And now.... the Exciting conclusion to Autobot Marshals: The Junkative! *** FX twists his hands around and disguises himself as a mild manner Beggar. Beggar has arrived. Beggar(#3343 iOnp) A simple beggar, one of many in this crumbling area. Beggar> Traveller's Haven Beggar> Monacus is well known for its Luxury Resorts, and you now see why. Before you looms a beautiful stretch of road lined by resorts of different types. There is something for everyone here, and you quickly become entranced with the possibilities... Even though it is nighttime, the area is very bright. The street itself glows with a soft radiance, shedding light on all the resorts. Down the street you can see a well-lit area with many delicious aromas coming from its location. Beggar> Contents: Beggar> Rundown Shack(#4757 On)Beggar> Cally's Pleasuredome Beggar> You move northeast to the Central Plaza... Beggar> Central Plaza Beggar> You find yourself within the very heart of Monacus, the glittering resort and casino world. Myriad stimuli attack your senses as you look around -- the blazing lights of advertisements, the clamor of street vendors, the blaring of horns in the crowded streets. Several vendors rush over to you, seeing your confused look, and promptly begin offering to show you to the best resort in town. Enjoy your stay, and try not to lose too much money while you're here! A shining new shuttle terminal can be seen at the far end of the plaza. Beggar> Contents: Beggar> Monacus Police Station (#2834 Oen) Beggar> Four Motion, Inc. Beggar> Great Hall Beggar> Caern comes in from the Spaceport to the east. Beggar> Caern has arrived. Beggar> Caern hurries in through the crowd. His optics gleam occasionally as a passerby gets to close before he starts towards the police station. Beggar> Beggar wanders around in the trash looking for garbage that he might use. Beggar> Beggar looks up and spots Caern and is a bit taken back for a second and then he holds out his hand, "Goot...Chhange...Miisshtah?" Beggar> Caern hrms before turning his attention to the beggar, "No....I have no currency." Beggar> Beggar shakes his head, "Give a Starving guy some..cips for energeeon..." The beggar backs away and sighs, "Noo..No.. energeoon too night..." He goes back to looking through the trash....almomst being to picky about what he looks at and for. Beggar> Cupcake has arrived. Beggar> Caern eyes the beggar only briefly before he continues on his way through the crowd. Beggar> A tall disreputable looking alien approaches. He is dressed in the garb of the Monacus police force. Cupcake> Cupcake looks around in the mass of people in the plaza very much doing the same thing as another person here...she also looks for FX. She stops and looks down at her nylon proping her leg up on a bench, "Ohh no....this isn't koshure...it's like a damnd nightmare... I got a run in my Pantyhoseee.." Cupcake sighs and rus her hands up and down her leg as a few passerbys take more than a glance at her. Beggar> The alien pauses in front of Caern, "You are the autobot security fellow?" Beggar> Caern nods, "I am." Beggar> Beggar looks at the police officer and then steps back from the garbage his hands full of some trash...useful stuff too as he edges slightly closer to the two talking. Beggar> The alien looks the much larger autobot up and down, "I am Vorg chief constable of the domestic quarter of Monacus. I am here to act as your liason." Beggar> Caern says, "Thank you. I would prefer however if I could gain access to your records regarding the alleged homicide and carry out my own investigation." Cupcake> Cupcake fends off some of the people as she raises her fist at them, "Ohh you just stay back!" She squeeks. "I know a bunch of machines that could clean your clocks!" She flashes a sly grin, "Unless one of you big..handsome..strong...men can help little 'ol me.. a damsil in distress?" Beggar> Vorg shakes his head, "I have been instructed to assist you directly. This...junkion FX is an extremely important fugitive and there is concern among our populace that you are merely here to spirit him away to avoid judgement." Beggar> Caern begins to shake his head in denial when he catches a glimpse of Cupcake. He pauses, "Well well." Cupcake> A Tall...strong...UGLY kinda alien walks upto Cupcake and smiles at her, "I'd.. bbe glad to offer my services to you, honney." Cupcake looks at him and pokes him in the blubber gut and smiles, "Oh you can.. can you...." Beggar> Vorg glances over when he sees Caern look, 'Is there something wrong?" Beggar> Caern shakes his head, "No....I'm just suddenly struck with a bit of nostalgia regarding terran radio." Beggar> Beggar almost lows his cover when they keep adding the name fugitive after or before his name when he follows Caern's glance and sees Cupcake as well. He almost goes to her but he does turn to look at her a bit more. Beggar> Caern turns back to regard Vorg, "Would it be possible for me to take a moment to contact my associates on Earth. They may have discovered something while I was travelling here." Beggar> Vorg gestures to the station, "In there." Beggar> Caern shakes his head slightly, "I've got my own transmitter. If you could give me a moment and I'll catch up." Cupcake> Cupcake smiles and rubs her finger under the alien's chin and he is instantly eating out of her hand, "So..tell me.. have you seen FX the Junkion Leader? He's wanted for some crime he didn't comit and I'm all BoopBoopbedoop Mad about it!" She squeels and stomps her foot down. Beggar> Vorg doesn't look pleased but obviously can't seem to find a reason to say no. He turns and walks to the station. ITs unclear if he hears Cupcake's outburst or not. Beggar> Caern watchs the constable go before returning his attention to Cupcake and walking over to tower over her and her alien pal. Beggar> Beggar smiles as he overhears Cupcake and then back away into the crowd blending in using them as /Camoflauge!/ *The world for Cupcake! It's her show now!* Cupcake> The Alien looks at Cupcake and shakes his head and starts to anwser as Caern busts on in he looks at the bot and growls, "She's Mine, Raw-Boot! Get Yer Own! Terran Females Are very..." Cupcake steps in and looks at Caern, "And you must be.....?" She looks at him not offering a yes or no anwser as she waits for his response. Cupcake> Caern glares down at the alien, "Take a hike." Cupcake> The Alien grunts and shakes his fist at Caern, "You Slmonian Slothen! I spit on you!" The alien spits at Caern's feet and storms off. Cupcake looks at Caern and sighs. Cupcake> Caern seems undisturbed by the display merely muttering, "Organics," before returning his attention to Cupcake, "I am Caern." Cupcake> Cupcake puts her hand upto her mouth and she lowers it and turns red, "You are the one hunting FX for nothing.. he didn't do squat!" Cupcake yells at Caern. "Whyy.. I outta!" Cupcake> Caern ignores the outburst, "I would hardly call homicide nothing. Why are you here Ms. Cupcake. Have you been in contact with FX?" Cupcake> Somewhere in the distance near the police station floats the real killer that setup FX as he slides on by he snnears as he sees the Autobot Caern who has been rumored to be on this case. He slides down an alleyway now lost in his thoughts...of killing again. Cupcake> Cupcake points her finger at Caern and shreaks "Darling, I wouldn't tell you squat about nothing!" Cupcake shakes and she balls her hands into fists as she gerrs...her best features move with her shaking too, "I'm so mad at you trying to harm my FXie! He couldn't have done anything he's a great guy..you..you..you meanie!" She fumes and flys off the handle crossing her arms she turns around and hurmps! Cupcake> Caern says, "I am not trying to harm anyone Ms. Cupcake. Did it occur to you that perhaps it might be preferable for me to catch your FXie..er FX than to have the Monacus law enforcement who will undoubtedly shoot him on sight?"" Cupcake> As if to emphasize the point, Caern gestures slightly to the side where Vorg can be seen with to other cops. They try to act inconspicous but they are clearly observing the conversation. Cupcake> Cupcake dosen't turn around and then she thinks for a moment.......several moments....several LONG moments...is that smoke? "Then I propose a alliance to help find FX!" She turns around and extends her hand and spits on it, "Spit promise that you won't harm him or turn him in and we'll take him home togther to prove that he's not guilty!" Cupcake> Caern regards the offered hand before commenting, "My system is incapable of generating expactorate but I will accept your assistance in this matter provided you tell me what you know." Cupcake> Cupcake herms and looks at Caern for a few moments, "Um.. shure.." She like totaly didn't understand the techno babble but she nods, "Partners then." She smiles and grins, "Then you do the same my main man... All i know is that FX excaped to up here where it all began. For what yo I don't know." She smiles and walks over to him and leans on his leg, "Perhaps he's going to find the killer himself? Yah think?" She looks up from her position. You paged Caern with 'The unlikely team up never seen before or again.. Cupcake & Caern ;)'. Cupcake> Caern says, "So you came to Monacus of your own accord to find FX? He hasn't attempted to contact you?" Cupcake> Cupcake raps on his leg with her fist, "No I haven't." She tilts her head from side to side, "Just the facts, Jack." She pulls out a notepad from her back pocket and looks, "From what I gathered so far, Danno: FX excaped you grasp several times, The mud pit, the dam. Songbird said he saw him a few days before he sent the transmission saying he was ok." She looks at her pad again, "Did I miss anything, Caern?" Cupcake> Caern's tone grows rather terse, "No. Thats what happened." He turns as he sees Vorg send several large aliens down the alleyway, "It may have been better if FX hadn't proved so resourceful on Earth. Finding him and discerning the facts in this matter might prove more difficult with the Monacus officials so close." Cupcake> A flash overhead as some young punk on a hover scooter peals on in it's jets burning hard a gust of heat hits the area as you can see it's Domino's Universal Pizza. He speeds down towards the Restaurant Cornner in the Traveller's Haven. Cupcake> Cupcake looks up and she rubs her forhead as she bends back arching her back her shirt pulls out of her pants showing off her belly button as a few aliens stop and stare and oogle over the sight. Cupcake> You say, "I think FX will be fins. He's got the tools and he knows how to use them." Cupcake> Caern says, "That remains to be seen." Cupcake> Caern gestures, "You may want to tuck your shirt in. We don't need trouble with the natives." Cupcake> Vorg works his way through the crowd and pauses in front of Caern, "You have contacted your fellows?" Cupcake> Caern nods, "Yes. I believe we are ready." Cupcake> Vorg gestures, "We?" Cupcake> Cupcake ohs and puts on a goofey smile and snort laughs, "hehehehe *Snnorrt* Uhhuheheh!" She tucks it back in and looks at Caern and then gerrs at Vorg. Cupcake> Caern nods and gestures to Cupcake, "This is my.....assistant Cupcake." Cupcake> Vorg eyes Cupcake rather dubiously, "Very well then." Cupcake> Caern says, "I would like to see the crime scene if thats possible." Cupcake> Cupcake she waves her hand lightly at Vorg. Cupcake> Vorg eyes Cupcake again before nodding to Caern, "This way." Cupcake> Cupcake gets up and follows Caern. Cupcake> Vorg moves towards the Casino strip. Cupcake> Caern follows closely and uses one hand to nudge Cupcake along as well. Cupcake> Caern leaves to the Casino Strip to the north. Cupcake> Caern has left. Cupcake> Beggar leaves to the Casino Strip to the north. Cupcake> You move north to the Casino Strip... Cupcake> Casino Strip Cupcake> If you thought it was bright and noisy outside, then you were mistaken. Your optics are assailed by rows and rows of brightly lit, flashing machines that line the floors. Your audio receptors are blasted by horns and bells, covering the entire sound spectrum, not to mention the shrieks, howls, and roars of the patrons as they watch their credits come and go at the whim of chance. To the left is a quieter (relatively) area, where patrons stare intently at tiny figurines on recessed tables that seem like they're actually moving... Cupcake> Contents: Cupcake> Beggar(#3343 iOn) Cupcake> Caern Cupcake> Monument to "The Unknown Gambler" Cupcake> Speedy Jack's Palace o' Fun Cupcake> Caern looks startled by the loud noises of the region, "Is this some form of riot?" Cupcake> Vorg chuckles rather darkly, "Hardly. You don't get out much do you?" Cupcake> Beggar looks around and easily blends in with all the other street trash and people hoping to make a buck or two here. Cupcake> Caern glances back to see if Cupcake is still nearby before remarking to Vorg, "I normally find it unnecessary to frequent this type of establishment." Cupcake> Cupcake smiles and becomes wide eyed, 'Ohh I just love the lights and casinos of Monacus makes me feel all squishy inside!' Cupcake> Vorg laughs. Cupcake> Caern says, "The homicide occurred here?" Cupcake> Vorg shakes his head, "No. We are almost there." He snarls at a power of passerbys that dare come to close before continuing towards a somewhat sinister alleway to the north. Cupcake> Caern glances down to Cupcake, "Stay close." Cupcake> Beggar comes out into the open as from almost nowhere and looks at Vorg, "Coin? Coin? For the poor?" Cupcake> Vorg looks disgusted and lashes out with his fist towards the beggar. Cupcake> Cupcake nods and smiles at Caern as she walks so close to him she walks into him..*bonk*. Cupcake> Beggar shakes and looks at him as he stumbles back into the fray..blending in...almost perfectly with the background again. Cupcake> Caern glares over at Vorg, "That would seem to me to have been completely unnecessary." Cupcake> Vorg returns the glare, "You do not live here. These creatures are no better than animals. Leeches? I believe that is the terran term for them." Cupcake> Cupcake frowns, "That's not nice.. if you could help them a bit maybe.. they won't be like that!" Cupcake looks up at Caern, "Right Caern? Right?" She tugs on his toe? Cupcake> Caern looks disturbed but doesn't comment further. Cupcake> WOOOSH! Over the heads over everyone again speed that punk kid on the hover scooter delivering something for Domino's Universal Pizza. Cupcake> Cupcake looks at Vorg, "Well... fearless leader?" She taps her foot and looks at her watch, "I ain't getting any younger here!" Cupcake> Vorg grunts as he watches the scooter streak away before heading into the alley. Cupcake> Caern moves northwest towards the alley. Cupcake> Caern has left. Cupcake> You move northwest towards the alley. Cupcake> Last Chance Alley(#2865 RLntNu) Cupcake> If there's a seedier side to Monacus, this would be the place. Dark alleyways, infested trash-heaps, and the most dangerous beings in the universe, all co-exist here in a tumultuous cesspool of alleyways and unlit streets. Only the most desperate or beings most down on their luck find themselves living here. You hear packs of turbo-rats scurrying through the heaps of trash, searching for a morsel to eat. The stench wafting from the cold alleyways is repulsive, and in a way, evil. A pervasive chill seems to permeate the air, and it haunts you like a bad memory. Cupcake> Contents: Cupcake> Caern Cupcake> Last Chance Club Cupcake> Abandoned Warehouse Cupcake> Hole In the Wall Cupcake> Loan Sharkticon(#3600 OVaM) Cupcake> The Loan Sharkticon slithers up to you and wraps a slimy fin around you. Cupcake> Loan Sharkticon whispers, "I am making you an offer you can not refuse." Cupcake> Beggar enters from the Casino Strip to the southeast. Cupcake> Beggar slips in watching the police and Caern...but still blended in with the now much more less more people around. Cupcake> Vorg pauses in front of a darkened alley and gestures, "Here." Cupcake> Caern steps forward to kneel down in front of the indicated spot, "So...the individual was murdered here." Cupcake> Vorg states, "We believe so." Cupcake> Caern glances over in surprise, "Believe so? Your records state that this was the site of the homicide rather definitively." Cupcake> Vorg replies, "The body was found here. No visible evidence was found to indicate otherwise." Cupcake> Somewhere in the shadows ploting and waiting is an armed and dangerouns killer he's watching Caern & Cupcake closely....waiting for the right time.... Cupcake> Caern says, "You didn't perform any scans?" Cupcake> Cupcake looks around, 'If there was no evidence....how can you blame FX, Vorg?' Cupcake> Vorg seems quite irritated, "We found the body here. The evidence we found indicates clearly who commited the crime." Cupcake> Caern says, "That evidence was....the holoscan?" Cupcake> Vorg nods tersely, "It was quite conclusive that along with the information we garnered from the wound." Cupcake> Beggar looks at everyone and walks out into the open and carefully slides in behind a crumbling wall and shakes his head, "Holoscan...." He mutters knowing that is the easiest thing that can be manipulated. He continues to look on. Cupcake> Caern says, "And this holo-scan.....where was it taken from?" Cupcake> Caern glances in the indicated direction before turning, "I don't see any camera over there?" Cupcake> Cupcake looks around picking up some things on the ground, "FX couldn't have done it..." Cupcake> Beggar looks on and at the police and his friends? accept for Caern at the moment. :) Cupcake> Caern says, "Where'd the camera go?" Cupcake> Vorg responds, "We aren't sure. The disk with the holoscan was left at the station for us after we found the body." Cupcake> Caern says, "Any sign of tampering?" Cupcake> Vorg spits a curse, "You autobots are all the same. Lofty. Holier than though. We know who did this. The evidence points to it. Don't try and change or hide the subject with semantics." Cupcake> From the shadows the figure starts to pull out a blaster following the orders of his master he aims it at Cupcake...a red dot shines around almost the size of a pencil...it wiggles around at fist and then ends up on Cupcake's back. Cupcake> Beggar continues to listen in on the conversation and spots the strange light bouncing about the place and tries to follow it. Cupcake> Cupcake kneels down and looks at the ground and picks up some strange soot left over from something that burned in the area she brings it upto her nose and smells it. Cupcake> Caern shakes his head violently oblivious to what is occuring with Cupcake and the beggar, "This is all very circumstantial. You can't say for sure that FX wasn't being setup by someone. You aren't even sure the individual where the man was killed!" Cupcake> Beggar jumps out and shouts, "Nooo! Cupcake Watch out!" The beggar's disguise falls away as the concentration on the holo is changed to Cupcake! *Phew...life through Cupcake's eyes was creamy now.. were with dreamy...FX again ;)* Beggar has left. FX removes his hologram of the beggar and shows his true colors to protect Cupcake! Caern turns with a start, "What?!?!" Cupcake looks up and at FX as the laser shoots off missing Cupcake as she walks twards FX. Caern half ducks and crouches when the laser tears into the wall. He quickly steps in front of Cupcake, "Neddron's Belt! Who is shooting at us?" FX realizes he just really exposed himself and then he looks at everyone as whoever just shot at Cupcake has fled the area. Vorg snarls, "Its him! He tries to shoot your assistant!" Caern's optics come to rest on FX, "Hold it right there FX." FX erks and looks at the MPD and then runs his body begins to glow as he makes a break for the Casino Strip. Cupcake she turns to see the blast and then back at FX as he runs away again, "FXie! Don't run!" You move southeast to the Casino Strip... Casino Strip(#2952 RntNu) If you thought it was bright and noisy outside, then you were mistaken. Your optics are assailed by rows and rows of brightly lit, flashing machines that line the floors. Your audio receptors are blasted by horns and bells, covering the entire sound spectrum, not to mention the shrieks, howls, and roars of the patrons as they watch their credits come and go at the whim of chance.

Contents: Monument to "The Unknown Gambler"(#3715 On) Speedy Jack's Palace o' Fun(#3706 e) FX again sends a disguise on around his body to blend in..so he might excape....what til you get a load of this! FX(#3840 PiOaelrtACMcjF) Before you is a 12' super deluxe chrome finished ?Femmbot?. Her lime green eyes behind her visor just sparkle at you from her white face, she has on some blush and bright rosey red lipstick. Her face is highlighted by her purple hair with a red almost crown like shape in the middle of her forhead. Her chest is red with a set of BOMBBACHAS. Around her neck is a poofy feather thing. Her arms are black upto her elbow where it begins to curve off into the same red color her chest is in, upto her hands which are a purple color. From her waist down her shapely legs to her knees they are also jet black. At her knees it starts curve off into the red color again to her feet. You wander into someplace most amazing... Speedy Jack's Palace o' Fun(#3706 e) You leave the glamor(?) of Speedy Jack's. Speedy Jack's Palace o' Fun(#4081 RntJNu) This place is quite the... the... damn, you've never seen anything *quite* like it. It's almost like someone took a garbage dump and made it flashy. It has that polished look of the rest of Monacus, but it just seems like a dump. The majority of the patrons certainly belong in a dump, anyways. Maybe it's just to add a sense of authenticity. A bar lines the far wall. A looooong baar, with shiny brass railings, and little bowls of snacks. Large clear refrigerator doors line the wall behind the bar, displaying various drinks, some the likes of which you've never even imagined, and you shudder to think what species would drink *that*. The floorspace before you is filled with tables and booths along the walls. To the left, against the wall, a kiosk with gaudy flashing lights advertises itself as the 'official Speedy Jack's souvernir booth'. But to your right, is something most out of place. While the building looked fairly big from the outside, the right side of this room opens up into a massive room, filled with gaming machines and tables. Exotic plants streak to the ceiling above, fighting for room with neon-colored tubes of light. Contents: Pool Table(#2992 O) Kegger O' Energon(#6910 O) Blue Femme(#3491 OM) Biff the Waiter(#3391 O) *Cupcake's vision again! Eaak!* Cupcake> Vorg draws a rather impressive looking blaster and fires off a few shots at the retreating FX. Cupcake> Caern glares at the constable, "Put that down." He turns to Cupcake, "You alright?" Cupcake> Cupcake looks at Vorg and runs upto him kicking him in the leg, "Stop that!" She looks at Caern, 'I'm Fine! Lets get FX!' She starts twars the strip. Cupcake> You move southeast to the Casino Strip... Cupcake> Casino Strip Cupcake> If you thought it was bright and noisy outside, then you were mistaken. Your optics are assailed by rows and rows of brightly lit, flashing machines that line the floors.

Cupcake> Contents: Cupcake> Monument to "The Unknown Gambler" Cupcake> Speedy Jack's Palace o' Fun Cupcake> Caern enters from the Last Chance Alley to the northwest. Cupcake> Caern has arrived. Cupcake> Caern sprints into view with Vorg in hot pursuit. Cupcake> Cupcake runs on in and she stops briefly and bites her lip as she tries to locate FX and then sees him head into Speedy Jacks, "Over there! He just went into that bar!" Cupcake> Caern says, "Cupcake....WAIT!" Cupcake> Caern sprints to try and catch up. Cupcake> Cupcake turns back and looks at Caern, "Hurry or we'll miss him!" Cupcake> Caern catches up and sprints towards Speedy Jack's. Cupcake> You wander into someplace most amazing... Cupcake> Speedy Jack's Palace o' Fun Cupcake> *FX again!* Cupcake emerges in a blast of light from the rotating doors of Speedy Jack's. Cupcake has arrived. Caern emerges in a blast of light from the rotating doors of Speedy Jack's. Caern has arrived. Blue Femme takes a seat by the bar, not noticing the new arrival. Vorg stalks in angrily, "Enough is enough. We need to stop that junkion." Caern turns on him irritably, "What do you think we are trying to do?" Vorg responds, "You appear to be trying to impress the terran female." FX is not the FX as you knew him as it's a bunch of dancing girls up on the stange... someone has blended in quite nicely. Cupcake looks at the stage and all the people. Caern says, "That isn't true. She is here to help us. Now put that blasted gun away and lets look." FX dances on the stage and tries to make a good coverup as he tries to head for the back door. Caern moves to stand beside Cupcake, "Do you see him?" Cupcake looks around and shakes her head, "It's tough when he can be anyone.. or anything...." FX does a few high kicks and follows the other girls on the stage but then it comes down to a singing number...utoh... Caern shakes his head, "Blast. If only my enhanced optics were still functioning." Cupcake watches the stage and she herms as she was once a dancer before. Vorg meanwhile shoves his way through the crowd sometime knocking people down. FX looks at the other girls and then he hasta sing, "I'll Lick YouRrr LollyPOp! YOOOu CaannnN Lick.. My LeMmoNNn Drop!!!?!?!?!" Looks on out as a tomato goes sailing for his head as he know his cover is blowen with that bad of a singing voice sounding like several cats in a blender. Caern seems oblivious to the singing but remarks to Cupcake, "Why is it that organics throw fruit or other produce during certain theatrical or vocal performances?" Cupcake looks at the stage and looks at Caern tapping on his leg, "That's FX on stage....I know his singing voice." FX does a few high kicks and then shakes his hands around and smiles and looks at the stage door exit only a few feet away... Caern leans down, "Which one?" Cupcake whispers, "The one in the red." Caern glances up and eyes the various dancers. His optics pause as they fall on the red femme. Caern gestures towards Vorg, 'Distract our friend." FX shakes his butt on the stage and turns around and does the same to the audiance. Caern slowly moves towards the stage door. FX blows kisses to Vorg as he makes his way through the mass of people. Cupcake makes he way to Vorg and clears her throat, "Vorg.....i see him.. he's in the Casino Hall." She looks at him. Caern loops around and stands in front of the stage doors. His optic glitter as they eye the red femme. On the stage the director Miss Twinkey walks up and starts to dance too, "Time for the show stopper, Girls! The Hoochie Koochie Jiggle Wiggle!" FX looks at the instructor as she starts to take off her skirt showing her leatard underneith as the other girls follow suit one by one. Caern steps halfway up onto the stage and reaches out and grabs at FX. You evade Caern's grasp attack. FX luck would have it he dosn't hafta do that cause she...he?'s a bot and just has to dance around but he pauses long enough and shakes his head as the other girls start to remove other parts of their.. clothing he closes his eyes just as he's almost grabed opening his eyes in the nick of time to avoid Caern. He screams as he makes the grabb throwing the dance into chaos! FX looks at Caern his holo turning off and he yells, "I ain't comming with you, Caern. Not until It's fact not fiction about me. I'm gunna get down with my bad self." FX starts to fade away and turn invis but he can't as his power is to low so he rolls off the stage and into the band pit...*Drump! Brriinng Thump!* Caern dives forward upending two bouncers who attempt to get in his way and dives trying to tackle the junkion. Caern succeeds in grasping FX, throwing him off-balance. Cupcake looks back behind her as she leads Vorg into the casino room and then she looks at the slot Machine, "OH MY Gosh.. hehehe Snnort I thought this was FX! Maybe he went that way!" FX grunts as caern has him in his grasp, "Why the big production number? What's the point?" FX tries to reverse the hold on Caern as he squirms about. FX succeeds in grasping Caern, throwing him off-balance. Caern twists as he tries to bring his size to bear on the smaller junkion but the wirey FX is the quicker and Caern finds himself off balance and unable to maintain his hold. Caern says, "Blast it all, FX stop!" FX succeeds in making the fates in his favor and he boots him to the ground, "I don't want to Mortal Kombat you. I didn't do it Caern!" Caern glares up and comes to his feet, "The evidence is circumstantial. Your running isn't helping the matter. Give it up!" Slipping in unnoticed as the fight and comotion goes on in the bar someone heads up into the lighting booth and again tries to snipe someone.. anyone down there...so is commanded by his boss. You say, "I'm innocent. I'm gunna prove it.. I didn't kill that guy." Caern says, "Then you need to stop running!" Caern lunges forward to grab FX. Caern succeeds in grasping FX, throwing him off-balance. Cupcake laughs and says, "No.. no.. this is a Pool Table!" Vorg continues to look generally confused but generally oblvious. FX ergs as he's grabbed again as he tries to shake Caern off, "Listen man.. I don't have evil as a will as some people......Just let...go." You say, "The music.. The colors.. this place is dark.. Always weighing the pros and cons... believe you me.. that how could I do it.. blaming me for everything!" FX reaches for a alien sized tuba and bonks Caern with it, "Here.. take a music lesson!" You paged Caern with 'may I?'. Caern evades your Tuba Bonk! attack. FX squirms, 'What is so.. supisious about candy coated milk chocolate that walk and talk?' FX goes to stomp on Caern's foot to try and break free. You strike Caern with Hokey Pokey Shaking Foot All About Happy if you know it stomp your feet.....attack. Caern swears and loses his grip on FX and moves about badly off balanced. From atop the light booth the guy fires off a few blasts at Caern & the deuling FX just missing him but destroying parts of the stage instead. FX smiles and looks at Caern and then looks up where the blasts came from. Caern falls over partly in shock from the weapons fire and partly because of the foot stomping, "What the?" Caern gestures, "Somebody stop that ...whatever it is!" Cupcake runs in hearing the laser fire again. Cupcake looks twards FX and Caern to see if they are alright. The doors open to the place and Troop Leader Ms. Bigglesworth comes in with her girl scout troop, 'And this girls is Monacus's Top Casino!' FX would pull out his laser but can't endanger anyoe the people in here. The patrons that were here all along have become frantic and scaed as they look for a way out. Caern eyes the scout trip, "Not again." He mutters before dashing through the terrified crowd trying to get at the unknown shooter. The shooter fires at the approaching Caern missing all the time making nice sized holes in the floor. FX looks at Caern run and he runs in tow after him. The girlscouts scream and huddle in the corner of the entranceway mainly the coat check booth. Caern swears, "Neddron's Belt." He glances towards where Vorg was only to see him hiding beneath a table. Cupcake looks at the two run and then at Vorg and shakes her head as she too takes cover just for some protection. The Shooter fires out some shots at FX one scoring on his shoulder making him have some down time as he gets back to his feet and continues forth. FX grunts, "Keep a lickin' and.. keep on tickin'!" Caern leaps towards the shooters hiding place only to spy the scouts at the last moment. Shots are dangerously close to them so he moves forward to shield them. FX makes it to the stairs and then through the front doors a one tenticled quint bobbles in and points a gun at Caern, "Relax officer.. you're off duty now." The girl scouts look in fright as Ms. Bigglesworth yells out, "Girls! Arm cookies!" The girlscouts toss their cookies at the Quint...litteraly! Bunches of Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Chip, Oatmeal come forth in such a forceful barrage at the Quint he backs off as Ms Bigglesworth tosses a coat on tome of the quint blinding his allowing Caern to take over. FX makes it up the stairs and wacks the sharkticon shooter as he sees it face to face finally. His head spins around 360 several times and flys off in a shower of sparks and lands on the ground nexto him. FX picks it up and smiles as the sharkticon falls over. FX leans out the hole where the light comes from and yells, "It's over...Don't forget to tip your waitress on the way out." The Quint grumbles from face to face as it shifts, "I am Armicus you will all fall before me!" The little girl of the troop stuffs in a box Marshmellow Puffs in his mouth and another girl shoves a box of Cheeze crackers in the other face and Ms. Bigglesworth smiles as she stuffs a coat in his third mouth. FX walks down the stairs pulling the sharkticon body down the stairs by it's neck wires and it's head in his other hand as he tosses the head to Vorg and says, "Ding! Circle gets a Square! Here's a clue by for for you, Chief! Just the facts! Now this nightmare book is closed." Vorg grumbles and crosses his arms and gerrs at FX, "Show off. I'll get you on something FX!" Cupcake runs upto FX and gives him a big hug on his leg, "FXIES! YAY!" she squeeks! FX looks at Caern and Cupcake, "Time to go home, home on the range....Yoo..." FX tips his head and heads on out of the bar with Cupcake & Caern in tow as he turns around and yelps, "Dibbity Dibbity That's all FOLX!" ================================== Autobot=============================== Message: 3/46 Posted Author FX Tue Jul 21 Caern ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------
