War: DP: The birth of Max Wellhouse (1/1)
Place: Dark Perk Mansion
Time: Monday the 8th, late afternoon
By: J.L. Dupre'

Eric raised an eyebrow at the one of the newest thugs J.L. "What are
you doing again?"

"Eric, I am writing the code in Dragonscript to facilitate the
encryption in a Mandrake environment so that the security system is
stable." The clack of a keyboard proved that J.L. was hard at work.
Eric just handed her a large cup of the new coffee. This was
diffidently a strange thug. So far she had a paintbrush, two pens and
what appeared to be a hair stick made of bone in her hair. She was
also listened to every thing from Oingo boingo to Korn and Primus.
She seemed to be fun. Of course, she didn't come down the stairs to get
her share of the coffee.

"Are you sure you want to add that line of code?"
"Yes, Eric I do...by the by...thanks for the coffee. This is better 
than
my stuff at home."
"But you should have been down there for the coffee opening. And do you
really think you should have that there?" Eric asked as he pointed the
screen
over her shoulder.
"Don't make me get my flying monkeys, Eric."

Eric knew when he was being a bit much. Time to leave.
However, as Eric left he didn't notice that the door didn't close all 
the
way.
Maybe he should go down and help Wolfy build that scale model of
Toronto out of plastic coffee stirrers.

But Havoc did. She and Chaos were bored. They were in a new house and
hadn't looked at anything yet. Hopping off her beanbag she nudged
Chaos. Chaos opened her eyes and looked out of the open door.
FREEDOM! The two hounds moved the door open even further. There! A
pink thing moved and off they went. Burp had no idea what the large
yellow and black things were but he did have the idea the being caught
by them would be bad. So off went his stubby little legs as fast as
he could. Looking franticly he found the open door to the room he had
a bolt hole in. Burp raced between a pair of legs and into the bolt 
hole,
but the dogs where fast on his trail. As Havoc hit the wall, she
bounced back a bit knocking Chaos into J.L. This of course causes the
standing woman to trip causing the coffee to spill on the server.
There were a few sparks but other than faint smell of burning hair,
J.L. was sure that the computer was fine.

"All right baby girls. Let me get on my shoes and get the card swipe
mods and we will go outside. What you trying to do? Hurt momma's new 
baby?"

Going down the stairs, J.L. met Robin in the hall.
Where even J.L. was amazed as several of the DPer's were tossing water
balloons,
eating brownies and generally acting like over caffeinated hyenas.

"Heyya Robin. Want to walk the girls with me?"
"Sure. Why are you taking your purse?"
"Cause we are going to install the card swipe modules so that only we
can let anyone in the trough the gates when we want."
"So no more factions entering for mayhem?"
"Well I didn't say that. Just a little bit more safe."

>>>>>>>

Two hours later, the modules were installed. As J.L. proceeded to
wire the cameras to the network, Robin noticed something strange.
"Who's Max Wellhouse?"
"That's the computer's host name. Wwwhy?"
"Cause you just got an email from him."
"Huh?"
Robin showed her the laptop.
"What the…he's not connected to the Internet! How's he getting me the
message?"
"The computer is smarter than we are? The demon's took it over? The
house has posses it? Wait... That can't be it...could it?"
The resulting words that leaked from J.L. mouth cannot be printed in
any language for the sake that it would make ancient Greek sailors
blush.

Eric stared at the computer screen. "You did sacrifice a goat for each
line of code, right? I know it *SAYS* it's "optional", but I wouldn't
count on it working without the sacrifice."
"This is no time for sarcasm Eric. The fluting thing done came alive.
Bright Lady above! What are we going to do with the bleeding thing?
I was outside for two whole hours. Exercise it?"
"Exercise it?" Eric and Robin looked at each other.
"Aahh fluke! My English is leaving me... excommunicate? no...exonerate.
nooo...exorcise. That's it exorcise it!"

Robin looked at the other two.
"So do we unplug it and find a priest or do we do this ourselves?"

Eric pouted. "But exorcising it would just break it. It needs its 
daemons,
after all... "

J.L. just shook her head making her hair fall.
"Nope. I better do this myself. If we bring a priest in here the house
might get mad and
I'll have to listen to Wolfy say I told you so." A little pleading
look filled J.L.'s eyes.
"Unless you want to help?" The feral DP grins told her all she needed 
to
know.
Robin started to bounce. "Can we make a wand out of memory chips?"
