<wants to hug and kiss her like crazy, but instead gives her some dap>

(Just stares and blinks at Lardy after getting some dap)


(Continues to stare and blink)


(Still staring and blinking)


Don't do that.

(turns to leave)

Keep me updated.

(leaves)

I'm guessing Kalla can help us more as Kalla, but... <glances at Cobie> ...I'm leaving that all to General Grievous, over there.

<watches Tempest leave>

Okay, so was she offended that I made such a crude, familiar and, well, common gesture with the fist bump? Or is she disappointed that I'm holding back so much instead of fawning all over her? I honestly can't figure her out!

Oh, Lardy...you've never been able to figure out women! <smiles but continues to watch intently in the direction Temp left>

"Damn...real subtle romeo. Drool much?"

<smirks at T-Wolf> Laugh it up, Fuzzball.

Lon laughs.

"Just remember...let the Wookie win."

...and please don't get me started on your girlfriend, okay? Not lookin' to add to my bruises from last night and all.... *groan*

Looks at Lardy and shakes his head...

"Don't worry about it. She actually talked a little sense into me last night..."

Huh? What do you mean?

"She convinced me not to come back here and...well, let's just say that she calmed me down. I get a little protective sometimes...it's just who I am, and it's not a 'I think peple are weak' thing...just part of what I got from my brother. Mine is just a little more focused on people I care about instead of the whole universe like him."

You're a good guy, Lon, but I know her. And I know she's bad news. When she made me remember our dealings from back in the day...I literally got sick to my stomach.

I...I know nothing I can say will make you think differently about her. I mean, you know all she did, and you're still with her. But you'll always play second fiddle to what she loves the most--that's power, Lon. When someone's in love with power...well, they never fall out of love with it.

"You're right, nothing you say is going to change the way I feel...and you would know all about that power thing..."

Yes... <with haunted eyes, looks Lon square in his eyes> ...I would.

"Good to know we all understand each other then...isn't it."

Yeah, Lon...I hope you'll prove me wrong. But I know better...

"Stranger things have happened."

Indeed! <changes subject as he spots Esmeralda> Like having a four-way with a smokin' hot Carggite! Later, man! <gives him some dap, then runs after Esmeralda>

"What a man whore."

Get;s up and and says to Cobie before he leaves, "Let me know when you want to move."

He heads out and back to the Bunker.

<chases after Esmeralda> Oh, well...she's a nice diversion, anyway...

As Cobalt Kid watches his friends leave a voice from behind says

“Well old Friend, you’re really going to go through with all this?, despite the danger that some of our friends may get hurt, or worse?”

Cobalt Kid turns, “It has to be done Far and you know that. And it has to be done soon”

“I know Des, it’s just I. Well I can’t help myself, I care for these kids, and for you, you young fool”
Faraway flips a hand to send a pile of crumpled clothes away and sits on the now clean chair.

“Still I can see you’ve made your mind up to go and I know that look, nothing I can say will change that. So I’m coming along too”

Cobalt stops looking longingly at the serving girls currently cleaning the villa and spins around to look at Faraway.
“You want to come, no way, uh uh, not gonna happen....your too.......”

“Old” smiles Faraway, “Probably”

Faraway stands and taking Cobalt by the shoulder walks him to the bar where Hrun is engaged in a very dubious drinking game with the Minotaur

“Cobalt Kid” continues Faraway, “there are many ways to skin a cat. I may not have the agility and grace of some of you but I do have a network of spies in LMBP Embassies across two thirds of the know galaxy. I’ve know about your little planned trip to the Dark Oval almost as long as you have, including your final destination. I have used the diplomatic bag to courier various ‘things’ you might find useful in your little jaunt to various points in the Oval. Here’s the map and the access codes” and Faraway passes over a small signet ring with the LMBP logo on it. “neat isn’t it” says Faraway, “Tamper Lad used all of his geek skills to make it for me”

“Now” says Faraway slapping Cobalt Kid on the back “Hrun here will come with you as a bit of extra muscle, I’ll make my own travel arrangements and will see you as on the other side so to speak”

Faraway Lad ports out leaving Cobalt Kid looking at the signet ring.

A few seconds later he’s back.
Opening the door from the gents he walks back into the Villa
“Damn” he smiles “always happens when I try to be mysterious; the Faraway force sends me some funny places. Remind me to tell you about that day I ended up in EDE’s bedroom just when he was about to .................ach, never mind that’s a story for another day. Toodle pip old Chap”

And this time he was gone

<Cobalt Kid just stands there and smiles>

Still have more to teach me after all this time, eh? Looking forward to it.

<Cobalt's spirits immediately are raised and he turns to see Hrun walking to him>

Well, my barbarian friend, we've got a quest ahead of us! It'll require more subterfuge than beating of the war drums, but there will be glory enough for the both of us.

<grabs his friend by the shoulders>

Get together your weaponry and tool kit. We leave soon.

<Cobalt exits>

*looks around*

Well, where is everyone? I remember I used to get drunk here every weekend!

Ah, hell. If you drink, they will come.

*gets out a bottle of Bailey's, one of Tequila Rose and an Absolut Peach.

Cheers!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.........................

[HWW pops in for a drink. Sees Ibby asleep. Doesn't want to disturb him, so leaves.]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ......

Wha? Could have sworn I heard footsteps. Oh well.

*downs another shot*

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ............
