When Relatives Come to Visit...

  Watching Chicken Bob sitting in the chair where Atticus had indicated him to sit twiddling the Volge equivalent of thumbs, Lady whispered, "Hela, Belle's got relatives visiting."

  I remarked, "That she does. According to Sandy's EGO reports it seems her whole extended family is waiting on our 'lawn' for something."

  Upon hearing Belle's name, the small Volge Trooper got animated fidgeting in this chair then pointed excitedly at Belle's stasis pod then his forehead then at Atticus whereupon Lady looked up at Atticus with wide pink eyes and asked, "Dream machine maybe?"

  From where we stood, all three of us looked through the large window of Belle Starr's stasis pod at the small Dream Machine tiara with the steady blinking red light still resting across her pale forehead.

  Nodding to Lady as I gently wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her lovingly against my side, I said, "Well that is definitely a dream machine and Chicken Bob does indeed keep gesturing toward it, but I have no clue exactly what he is excited about. Nor do I really have much knowledge of that thing other than we used it to save you and Sandy before and Belle was once addicted to it as a way of getting over a tragedy. All I can figure is that he either wants us to remove it or he wants us to turn it up and doing either one quickly could hurt Belle if she is indeed still alive in some way. So I am not ready to try that just yet.

  However I do know a certain silver-tongued fellow who could probably give us quite the teaching lecture on it, and perhaps his insightful mind can figure out just what it is that Chicken Bob is trying to tell us."

  With that I sent Volo an EGO message saying, "Volodja, I know you are busy with your 'guest'. However it appears Belle has a guest in my morgue. Chicken Bob is here and keeps gesturing towards Belle and the dream-machine-looking-tiara on her head. Any chance you can free yourself from your familial duties long enough to come to my bunker and try to help me and Lady figure out just what Chicken Bob is trying to tell us? I will have Dinara re-activate your security code for our front door, so that you can let yourself in and come right down to the Morgue where we are."

  Attila relayed Sandy's orders and compliment to the EGO-less Brooke who sat relaxed atop a boulder watching the Volge then looking down at him she smiled demurely as her feline ears and tail twitched in amusement while commenting, "Well, isn't that just purrrrfect!"

  Before Attila could respond to Brooke they both sensed another presence just as they heard "Observing nature?" asked Marcel Lestrange in casual manner, suddenly appearing behind Brooke and Attila. "Just like I do during my morning health walk. Man has to stay in shape and size."

  Then Brooke and Marcel started some insulting back and forth. Both were so focused in their insulting conversation that he knew neither would even notice if he tried talking to stop them.

  So as Attila continued to watch the Volge, he just listened to Marcel's and Brooke's conversation as he waited for his opening, which Marcel soon provided him with by saying, "Perhaps I should be as rude as you and start a day with an insult?"

  Once again Marcel replied with the question. "Like asking: "What is new, pussycat, whoa a oh?" But I am a peaceful man and do not do such things as starting encounters with insults. By the way - how is our little Count is doing? I bet he is doing...With all that feminine beauty swarming around his charming personality after the feline beauty abandoned him he should feel...How should an abandoned Count feel? Since he is probably a typical insensitive male, he should feel purrrrfectly fine because he should become stronger if he does not get killed. In case he is not a typical insensitive male then he gets emotionally killed without a chance to become stronger. Right?"

  Attila responded with, "What's done is done. So no squabbling will change it. Besides from what I understand Atticus does have a standing order that states any Inquisition Officer that comes near base is to either be taken prisoner or shot on sight, although Atticus doesn't hide the fact that he thinks the best Inquisitor is a dead Inquisitor. So even if most of us Protectors won't follow that order completely, as most consider it cold-blooded murder, Marcel is not officially a Protector but instead works with us on a contractial basis. Not to mention that he and Atticus do not see the laws as black-and-white like most do. Besides given Atticus' contempt of the Inquisition and very protective nature towards 'lost' children, and what Marcel and Moira have just told us of that Inquisitor and HIS intentions, I am guessing Marcel probably jsut earned himself a bonus by not only killing that Inquisitor and therefore protecting the 'lost' children, but also by doing so in such an inventive way. "

  Then Attila said to Marcel, "She didn't abandon the Count. She is working as a scout as one of her Commanders ordered, as Brooke did officially join the Protectors earlier. So I am sure the Count will understand that. As for the Volge, as it is quite a large number, we were indeed ordered to watch them and track their movements so we can insure the safety of everyone at Fortress K'shaa. If you want to join the boring Volge Vigil then feel free to as there is plenty of rock for all three of us but it does look like the VOlge plan on just continuing to stand there like statues while they wait for whatever it is that they are waiting for. Although I am guessing Lena is probably wondering where you are and missing you by now and knowing her she is probably having a lot more fun with what she is doing, then we are likely to have sitting out here in this heat and observing stationary Volge."

  In Holo-suite 3 in the Hall of Mirrors, Agatha pulled the door of the Mirror House open and went inside, closing the door...

  However the other two inhabitants of that Hall were extremely caught up in their own activity that they didn't notice it or Agatha's movement at first.

  Then the door flings open and everyone outside can hear the loud scream, followed by Sigmund's delighted remark: "Ain't Lena something?".

  As the door slammed shut behind Agatha's hasty departure, Kakusi, who was laying on the ground with Lust very actively riding him and scratching up his chest in the pleasurable process, said to her in his natural monotone, "Did you hear the door or a woman's scream? I think somebody was in here watching us."

  As lust increased her speed, she muttered, "Didn't see or hear nothing but our fun and enjoyment. Now shut-up and fuck me raw Sazri!"

  With that said, Lust leaned forward and bit his lip and tugged on it with her teeth. So Kakusi rolled them over so he was now on top. Then he did just as ordered and proceeded to jackhammer fast and hard into Lust in order to fuck her raw as she requested.

  Outside the Hall of Mirrors Kabule once again wearing his trademark leather jacket was standing there watching Hope as she admired the genuine leather jacket that he had gotten her, that was the female equivalent of his but of course in a much more petit size. Then after Hope adjusted it's waist straps just a little more so it fit better, she leaned back into Kabule's chest and he wrapped his arms around her possessively. As he started to massage and fondle her flat stomach and petite chest, he looked around the park and said, "So what the fuck is the point of this place anyway?! The only things that look like they would help train for combat are that obstacle course near those Casti-children, and those guns near the boardwalk."

  Hope responded with, "It's called an Amusement Park silly. So it is for people's fun and amusement, just as that Circus where I fell in love with you, was supposed to be."

  Kabule replied with, "Not the type of fun I ever experienced or had a chance to experience, or even appealed to me, but if My Pet thinks it is fun, then I will try."

  Hope turned slightly and smiled up at him at that statement and gave him a quick kiss. Then she turned back forward so she could look around and try to decide what she wanted the two of them to try together first. However as she was still deciding because of all the choices, they heard an angry elderly human woman. So Kabule glanced that direction as he heard,"I'll fly this little lech into the United States by myself," promised Aunt Agatha.

  Then Kabule saw the elderly woman lift a midget up and after swirling him couple of times, toss him into the nearest bush, raising the protest screams of fellow midgets nearby who had their picnic while they were off duty.

  "They hurted one of us!" shouted on of them angrily.

  "We don't leave it like that. Revenge!" seconded another one.

  "Let's get them!" yelled third one and then all available midgets begun their storm towards Protector's, their house guests and their EGO-s.

  Seeing the action, Kabule turned Hope so she would see it as well. As he did, he remarked, "Looks like the action is over there. I promise we will do whatever you want, but first I think I better go help your friends. After all little people tend to have a much bigger bite than expected. Believe me I have met plenty of Liberata shrimp-dogs that have more than proven that their bite is much worse than their bark."

  Then Kabule gave Hope a quick grope and kiss, before he quickly run towards the midgets, removing to switchblades that he had concealed on himself and flipping them open as he did so. Then before the midgets even had a chance to notice that he had joined the action, one of his blade tips was already penetrating a midget's eye, which of course caused the punctured midget to scream and alert the others that an angry biker had joined the action (and providing music to Kabule's ears), just before Kabule lifted his other switchblade and slit the now-one-eyed midget's throat.
