After finding out that Bryn's copy of the Teenager's guidebook was a hand me down, and that Jack had, ahem, ruined a few pages, they were out to get him.
They were hidden within their secret and unfindable cushion fort. The time was Nigh for their evil plan and they were fast running out of snacks and bleeprin.
"Careful now Bryn. We can't let him see us," Miah said as she nommed a brownie.
"I know what I'm doing Miah" Bryn said before carefully aiming for Jack. She pulled the trigger and could barely see the flying missile until it hit it's target. "this is PlushieBryn to MamaMiah do you copy? Over." she spoke into the radio
"Copy. Direct hit!" Miah shouted into her pretend hand radio, even though she was only a foot from Bryn's ear.
"What are you doing here? The Target's over there!" Bryn said rubbing her ear and pointing in that general direction
"I can hardly see what a national chain of stores has to do with anyth-"
"Not there, there" Bryn said pointing directly at Jack now.
"Oh! Yeah, I was supposed to capture him, huh?"
Bryn only just resisted the urge to be sarcastic but couldn't control the eyeroll.
"I'll just go get him then..." Miah said, but after a moment Bryn ran after her and helped her drag Jack back to The Lair. Their attempts to drag Jack away were briefly noticed, but only by JulyFlame and Myon before they returned to their own... "Winter Olympics'. Tonsil-hockey and the like.
"What do we do with him, now?" Bryn asked bouncing in place.
"Man he stinks of rum, and whiskey, and *sniff* *sniff* beer." Looking suddenly concerned, Miah turned to Bryn and asked, "How much tranquilyzer did you put in that dart?"
Bryn checked her supplies, and answered sheepishly, "Only enough to knock out an elephant." She looked worried for a moment, before brightening (remarkably literally). "It's okay, his metabolism only works right when he's really, really drunk."
"Hey, that gives me an idea! Let's do that thing from the song about the Drunken Sailor!" Miah shouted.
"Which bit? The shaving his stomach and dumping him the captains daughters bed? Actually thats a good idea... except... maybe that's too mundane."
"I say we figure it out later and get to work on shaving; because that is the hairiest gut I've ever seen."
"With all this fur, we could write something funny on his stomach." Miah said grinning evilly.
"Ooh, how about...Fan!brat!" Bryn said, adding her evil smile and cackle to the atmosphere of The Lair.
When they finished, they rolled Jack up in a sheet, because dragging a body through the corridors in a sheet, is WAY less conspicuous than without one. They passed through the lobby again, but July and Myon were too, um, engaged, to notice them this time. They traded lines from The Dead Parrot Sketch so they wouldn't notice where they were headed.
"Excuse me, miss?"
"Who you calling miss?"
"I'm sorry I've got a cold."
"What seems to be the--How we'd get here so fast?"
They knew they were facing the door of The Pad because, of the fancy black script on the ominous (yet identical to all the others) grey door. As they pushed on it, the door gave the satisfying creeEEEaak all doors should have.
As they entered they were faced with the Pad (not to be confused with Agent Pads) which had a very confused but somewhat amused trio of Boarders stuck in it all sitting in their own corners.
The movie they were watching was decidedly, interesting, and Bryn ran screaming "My eyes! My eyes! Where's the bleeprin?"
Miah politely ignored their choice of entertainment, and dragged the sheet to the middle of the room.
Trojie said, "A heavy sheet?" (Her brain was slightly melty from the movie.)
Techno Dann and Makari came over and poked Jack through the sheet. The tranquillizer seemed to be wearing off, because Jack started trying to squirm out of the sheet.
"We found him like this in the hall," Miah said giving her very best Newbie innocent look. "Have fun!" She gave a rather less than innocent wink, as she backed out of the room.
A dazed Jack sat up, and the sheet fell into his lap.
"A Fan!Brat! Get him!" shouted Troijie.
"It's just like the the movie," Makari added.
"This is going to be fun," Techno Dann added.
Jack looked a bit panicked at slightly predatory the looks on the faces surrounding him, but then he caught sight of the movie. "Alright! I've always dreamed of waking up in this movie."
Miah closed the door feeling a little miffed. Their plan hadn't quite worked out the way they planned. Oh well, it'll still take a while for the hair to gr--
"Fan!Brat! What happened to my belly hair?!" It was faint, but it put the smile back on Miah's face. Now just to find Bryn.
Miah found Bryn next to the archive, frantically sending Steve morse code messages. Of course, Steve hadn't responded back yet. That took a few hours. Miah grabbed Bryn and dragged her to the Bleepka fountain and ducked her until Bryn stopped gibbering about sporking her eyes out over the movie.
Now that the bad memories were gone, she was free to have a giggling fit over Jack only being worried about his fur. Miah suggested they get more snacks and go back to hiding in their unfindable cushion fort. It was time for more Boarder hunting!
