War: DP: Max and the very bad idea Place: Dark Perk Mansion Time: Monday the 8th to Tuesday the 9th By: J.L. Dupre' Robin hurried back into the room where the tower now know as Max was. Of course finding two more pagans to exorcize the sprit of the house had been...odd. Sherri and Megan followed Robin into a very strange sight. J.L. and Eric had surrounded the computer with rock salt and silly string. "So what are we doing again?" Sherri asked while adjusting her cat ears. "I think we need to exorcize the computer system that I just installed." J.L pouted as she placed the offering of coffee in front of the make sift alter. "OH oh my first exorcism!" Megan bounced a bit as she moved to pet the hounds Havoc and Chaos. Eric smiled at the young thug. Maybe he need to have some more of that great new coffee to reach that level of hyperness. J.L moved everyone into their positions to perform the exorcism. Unfortunately, as the incantations were half way through a small tinny voice was heard. "Mother? why do you want me to leave?" This of course stopped everyone in their tracks. A very general huh was felt by all of those present. "Que? Max?" J.L. asked "Yes mother." "WOW. Why does this feel like an experiment wherein you accidentally mix ammonia and bleach, burn your eyebrows off, lose all sense of smell for weeks, and never see the family cat again." Megan said as she eyes the dinged computer. "Because we are doing a very bad thing." Sherri replied. J.L was arguing with the computer. "I am not your momma. Cousin Mary runs the show. I am just the programmer. She is the God Momma." "I told you not to put that line of code there." J.L looked at Eric. She should hurt him for that. J.L took a deep breath. "Thank you Eric. I shall take all future requests of a like nature into lengthy consideration. I however request that if the need arises of a like nature that you give the same consideration." "Oh yeah like that doesn't feel like a trap." "So you are a sister?" This stopped everyone in the room with a strange sense of forewarning. "Yes, Max. I guess you could say that." "Most excellent. I ask again then, Sister J.L. Why do you want me to leave?" J.L just opened her mouth to answer. "Cause all computers in the movies and books turn on the humans that create them." Robin answered for J.L. "Why would I turn on you?" "I don't know. They just do in the books." "Yeah like books always make since. Anne has this book that has like the worst line in it ever." Sherri replied. "Yeah but it can't be as bad as the one I just read." Eric countered. "Oh yeah? Well here it is...He fell off the wagon like a frozen turkey from a Goodwill Helicopter." "Huh. Not bad. 'Wear something uncomplicated-I'm in no mood for a struggle tonight,' he drawled." This of course had the DPer's talk long into the night about bad lines from the various novels that they had read over the time from the last war. Actually, J.L found that Max listened intently to all of the multiple conversations that they had. Maybe every thing would work out all right >>>>>>>>>>>>> The sun rose over the horizon like a great big radioactive baby's head to J.L.'s blurry eyes. This of course was when she noticed the missing lumps of yellow and black fur in the room. "Havoc? Chaos? HAVOC! CHAOS!" "I let them out Sister J.L." "Ugh Max. Don't talk so loud. I need coffee." "The old bat has started coffee in the kitchen Sister J.L." "Max dear. Don't call me Sister J.L. Call me sis if you feel the need. We *so* need to work on your colloquialisms." "After you ceased to be awake, I spoke at length with Wolfy. I must inquire. Is it brother or sister Wolfy?" J.L rubbed her eyes with one hand as she tried to find shoes and a house coat. "And tact. We need to work on Tact and Subtlety."
