A trail of aching derrières- next time they'll be more thoughtful

Jun 11, 2006 23:40

The door opens onto an expanse of asphalt, steel, and glass. Nearby a sign reads:

WELCOME TO WHITE FLINT MALL
BEST PRICES IN THE DC AREA

4708 BETHESDA AVENUE
CHEVY CHASE, MD

It's a big parking lot, with the mall itself only visible off in the distance. Ray gives it the squint-eye before turning to the others. "Okay, people," he says. "This is ( Read more... )

"Absolutely," Johnny beams, wrapping one arm around Ray's shoulders and the other around Matilda's. Group hugs are always very good luck, after all...

Re: And we're under way! lt_naraht June 20 2006, 01:54:22 UTC

Naraht is just about to join in the fringes of the group hug when Johnny suddenly appears in the huddle.

"Bwah!" he yelps. "Where the hell did you come from?"

Re: And we're under way! lucky_coyote June 20 2006, 01:57:07 UTC

"Ley lines," he smiles, pointing to the ground before extending a hand. "Name's Destiny. Johnny Destiny." Somehow, Naraht doesn't startle him too much. Maybe the bar's already having an influence...

Agatha joins in. She can't help but to be caught up in the moment.

Re: And we're under way! redsnout June 20 2006, 02:05:28 UTC

Raptor arms aren't really made for hugging, but Red decide sto do the best she can. Instead of running the risk of impaling Ray, she gives his shoulder a nudge with her snout.

Re: And we're under way! k_in_black June 20 2006, 02:10:04 UTC

A particularly cryptic expression flashes across K's face at the mention of a group hug. But then he considers what he put Ray and Peter through during that black oil mission and figures, what the hell.

One MiB-approved group hug is executed with smooth and unobtrusive grace.

But this is not going into his after-action report to Zedd.

Re: And we're under way! blond_w_brain June 20 2006, 02:11:17 UTC

The Egons look at each other. They sigh, in unison, and then join the group hug. If the MIB can do it....

*Andrew's kind of been hanging back, mostly because he's possibly the least superpowered member of the group.*

*But you can't hang back in a group hug.*

*Which is how he finds himself squooshed between Matilda, Agatha, and Naraht.*

Re: And we're under way! wyrd_fox June 20 2006, 02:23:36 UTC

And then there's James Dean sticking his head through the rock wall.

"Where is Sigfried?" he carols in a hideously fake, non-descript, European accent. "Hey guys! What's the hold up?"

His eyes light up at the huddle!

"Ohhh! A little love-in before the break-in! Okay, carry on. I'll just send Elmer Fudd into the cafeteria again."

Re: And we're under way! gone_byebye June 20 2006, 02:26:22 UTC

Ray grins. "You do that. We'll meet you there..." He turns to the rest of the group and nods to Naraht. "Here goes nothing. Cast that die, Naraht. We got us a smackdown to lay."

Re: And we're under way! lt_naraht June 20 2006, 02:28:53 UTC

Naraht extracts himself from the group-hug and flings himself against the wall.

"'We few, we happy few!'" he intones. "'We band of brothers!' And sisters," he adds with a chuckle in his voice.

Out in the targeted corridor, a faint tremor is the only sign that all hell is about to break loose.

Re: And we're under way! stilljustandrew June 20 2006, 02:31:39 UTC

*And back on this side, Andrew mutters under his breath...*

There's the Shakespeare.

"Terrify, destroy, and if you happen to spot my lightsabre, I want it back," Ray says. "Otherwise? yeah."

***

In the targeted corridor, a rather bored secretary- one who's not much different from Janine, really- looks up at the trembling of the overhead lights. "Huh," she says, and turns back to her work.

Tinka. Tinka.

That was weird. The lights are still moving-

BRRRRMRMRMRMMMRMB.

And the wall gives way all at once.

The first sound our heroes hear?

"AIEEEEEEEEEE!"

Re: And we're under way! lt_naraht June 20 2006, 02:45:01 UTC

The Horta laughs...it's not a pleasant laugh.

"Finally! A situation where that reaction is actually warranted!" The three-quarters of a ton of living rock glides out of the steaming tunnel. "My dear, I suggest that, for your own safety, you take yourself outside. Now."

Re: And we're under way! doc_venkman June 20 2006, 03:00:02 UTC

Meanwhile, Peter eyed the odd whine of the packs with some trepidation. Oh great... what did the mad scientist team do now?

He then snickered at Ray's comment, and patted him on the shoulder, "You big goof."

He eyed the kid oddly, and then there was an oof from him as he got crushed in amidst the crowd piling around Ray. There was a brief smirk to K, like 'I'm gonna remind you of this later.'

Then the wall exploded and there was screaming.

Peter debated stepping forward, but there was a glance to his local version. His world, he can handle the PR for here. This Peter was just here to help tear Pecker a new asshole.
