Lori didn't feel guilty in the least using Mars' face for that last bit of needed boost to climb out of the limo. He got the full view with or without her small foot on his forehead. And he deserved it for the upside down comment... though it wasn't that she hadn't enjoyed that part...

Once out she yawned and took in the surroundings as any good New Yorker is to do if they don't wish to be surprised to death. She had to school her features to keep from outright laughing at the honest to god Jay and Silent Bob taking a toke outside the 7-11. She stuck her tongue out at them and then flipped off the traffic jam caused by the spectacle of an up-turned limo. The limousine had made it mostly onto the sidewalk, which meant traffic wasn't really impeded. "Lookie-lous!" Yeah that probably wasn't helping...

Lori looked a question at Mars. "Pft! Who's inebriated after that?" Okay, so maybe she had burned most of it off with the combination of a full body work out and electrical discharge, but there was enough left to keep her sassy at least. Or maybe just enough to let the sass out. "You could be right about the shoes..." She'd walked clear across down town in 4 inch heels before, though so this was nothing. Not that she enjoyed that or the blisters that followed, but it was doable.

"Well, it can't be helped. We have some justice to serve and some traffic violations to dodge." There was always something wasn't there? Lori started her march toward the Sanctuary. Step one, win Lisa. Step two, rig up something nasty for Pluto's triumphant return. Gotta ruin the triumph a bit... throw him off the trail. Step Three, sleep... elsewhere. Safe place away from Pluto. Hotel? She'd ask after they rigged a taser to Pluto's door knob.

He deserved the full view…because he teased her….be demanding with her, and she responded more then happily. Good to know.

~~"Lookie-lous!"

“heh.” Mars added to the spunky little woman

~~"Pft! Who's inebriated after that

“He stretched, I suppose you’re right.”

"You could be right about the shoes..."

“If you get tired I don’t mind carrying you in the least.”

"Well, it can't be helped. We have some justice to serve and some traffic violations to dodge."

Mars righted the limo and spoke “ If you two can get it to move, have fun.” He said to the pair of pot heads. “parked in the right spot it could make the perfect little smoke house.” He turned on his heel and caught up with Lori. The walk was pretty uneventful. But they still managed to get then in plenty of time.

“Hello Lisa.” Mars started off and would let Lori take over whenever she was ready. “ how would you like to torture Pluto?” he grinned persuasively.

Lisa didn’t question why between the two of them they were wearing one out fit. Having access to security hallway cameras said plenty about the refined Mars and the unpredictable Charge. She turned to Lori and sympathized. Her mind processed why they were back and Pluto wasn’t. why Lori wasn’t wearing what she left in. “ If I knew you didn’t know where you were going I would have warned you, but you posed for pictures so I thought you were aware.”

Lori gave Lisa puppy eyes. "What can I say? I'm a ham for the camera."

Quickly they explained the plan and Lisa took it all in stride. Her unshakability was astounding. Eerily astounding. Yes, Lori would have to watch that Lisa. She was one not to cross.

"So, we're calling it a fire drill? Or are we actually starting a fire?"

"Oh no, we'll have some smoke and make it look real otherwise most tenants wouldn't leave. If they think it's under control, they also won't bother to help. But we'll make sure to emphasize the lack of security and compromise of structural integrity... well, you'd leave, wouldn't you?"

Lori looked at Mars and raised her eyebrows. "Yeah. Sounds like a plan. To the eggs?"

There was a pleasant smile on her face as she left for the kitchen area. Lisa had two very capable hands. She was going to handle the evacuation and they would handle the deviousness. She was good at deviousness. Lori half skipped to the kitchen not minding one bit that her tux flapped after her. In the fridge was an unusually satisfying amount of eggs. Well, there were a lot of people living here... She grabbed two flats and balanced them like an experienced waitress.

"We'll need a hammer and nails to get his furniture on the ceiling too." Her tone was quite comical in that nothing she said seemed very out of place. It was all so very natural to be egging a room and turning up topsy-turvy. "Oh and a bucket and string. I'd like to provide a classic dump."

~~"So, we're calling it a fire drill? Or are we actually starting a fire?"

“sounds great. Remind me to never cross both of you, or either of you for that matter.” Mars chimed in as the pair conspired with out much help except for a technicality here or there. “ Let Syn know what we are up to and to ignore any havoc. Also mention that I am the one reporting the fire in your official report, I don’t want Pluto implicating you.”

~~. "Yeah. Sounds like a plan. To the eggs?"

“TO the Eggs!”

Lisa smiled an maniacal smile that made it seem as if she actually fit in with the rest of the nut jobs around here.

Hang on a second he pulled out a small roll of cash and tapped one of the kids in the halls. “ I will pay you two forty bucks each for every guinea pig you can find and bring us with in the next two hours. You know where my room is? I will leave the door unlocked and have a pin set up just plop em in there. If you get twenty I will double the pay. Deal? Get to it then, times wastin.” He handed the pair money to buy the rodents. He grinned at the pair who scrabbled off to shop, or steal, guinea pigs.

“two more culprits in the bag.” He whispered mischievously to Charge.


Mars grabbed another flat just to be safe. If they were going to do this why spare some yolks?

~~"We'll need a hammer and nails to get his furniture on the ceiling too." "Oh and a bucket and string. I'd like to provide a classic dump."

Okie dok”, he opened a broom closet on the way and grabbed a work apron and a bucket nails and a hammer .

“I know a compound we could put in that bucket that could make him reek for days.”

She grinned at Mars. "A wise man would never incur the wrath of an intelligent and capable woman. Especially more than one flocked together like hens of a feather." Not that Lisa and Lori were tight, mind you. Lori made sure to keep the woman at arms length in the case that an emergency backstabbing was in order. Ah the delicacies of female relationships. At least Mars was willing to take the fall in case of fiery Synnish wrath. Check that failed relationship off the roster. She actually kind of hoped this ticked Syn off.

Lori watched curiously as Mars pulled aside two capable looking younglings. Ahh guinea pigs. How had she forgotten so soon? "That is going to be sick, rodentia nosing around in splattered eggs." She chuckled just thinking about it. Ewwy gooey guinea pigs. Blech. She also tried to imagine ways to hide the filthy creatures so that Pluto may keep finding them for weeks. Maybe put one in the smelly dump bucket so that it's land on his head? She'd have to remember that one.

"Too bad there are so many of you that are the same size. I'd love to put his manties on ice, but it's no good if he can just grab yours." Mars seemed very on top of grabbing utensils and so she led the way to Pluto's room, kicking the door open with one leg. She hesitated before entering. Surely there were booby traps or something. He would not dare leave himself open after such a blatant attack, would he?

She tossed an egg in first to be sure.

~~"A wise man would never incur the wrath of an intelligent and capable woman. Especially more than one flocked together like hens of a feather."

"Can I please be a rooster in that analogy...I don't have any paticular thing against hens...it's just I'd rather be a...rooster. And I don't think anyone has accused Pluto of being wise."


~~"That is going to be sick, rodentia nosing around in splattered eggs."

"Yeah hopefully he runs from the room with out smashing any of the animals.it could get pretty bad."

~~"Too bad there are so many of you that are the same size. I'd love to put his manties on ice, but it's no good if he can just grab yours."

"Hmmm, Yeah I'd say go for it, but the rest of the guys might shift in his favor if we go against them, I could pass the word to keep them hidden for a week or two though." he considered.


Mars caught up quickly taking what he needed. he winced as she kicked the door open. and waited to see a cream pie shoot out at her or something nothing happened as far as he could tail. He made his way to the door and glanced around a bit. "ah ha. seems he was going subtle...he just wanted to see who was up to it. he pointed at a small piece of tape over a cleverly placed webcam. He set the mass of tools and things down by the side of the door and treaded carefully into the room. he then started tapping away at a password sign in. he tried two and then laughed " M A R 5 1 5 5 T U P 1 D" he shook his head as the screen lit up, " he will take that as a win either way. claiming that I admitted it."

He then erased the video and put it on auto sleep for twenty four hours. He then started pushing the majority of his junk into one corner. he wasn't going to do him the favor of cleaning the sty as he pranked it

"don't be too surprised if we meet other traps on the way.".
