The Front Door opens and, for just a moment, the sounds of a massive construction site came into the bar, along with a certain Man in Black who hasn't been around in quite a while

And a Bunny hops along.

"Got fixed of all that lovely oil?"

It was nifty stuff.

[k_in_black]

"Looks like it. Been meaning to thank you myself for your help with that."

"Buy you a drink?"

[misterbunny]

And the Bunny lets a smile grace his features. After all, drinking is what he does best. After killing. And causing Chaos. And watching Baywatch. And-

It's up there, okay?

"Alfarita. Say, where do you get those amazing toys?"

[k_in_black]

"Many, many friends from out-of-town."

"We've had diplomatic relations with several empires and republics throughout the galaxy going back to '61. Most of that tech was payback for taking on diplomatic, economic, and law-enforcement duties they didn't want to."

"Believe me, we work for it."

[doc_venkman]

"Hey K, heard you ran ahead. Next time, you should come to my world, I think you'll find it a vacation compared with yours," Peter remarked as he flopped onto a stool nearby.

[k_in_black]

"Peter, I do believe that may be true. Just don't ask me which slime I like better."

"What're you having?" K thumbs at Zed. "He's buying."

Zed glares at K before looking back to Venkman.

[doc_venkman]

Peter smirked at Zed, "You do say drinks are on you. I'm figuring not literal though?"

He added, "I like the slime that doesn't get on me. I want more jobs with that kind of slime."

[k_in_black]

"By god, I'll drink to that," Zed growls, and K is nodding too.

"I'll tell you something else," K adds. "You gents are going to be having the better accommodations for a while."

"For a few months, anyway," Zed nods.

It's true. The MiB HQ is pretty much a wreck, though the MiB is considering that an opportunity.

"K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K!" Also jingle jingle jingle. And if those aren't enough to make him brace for impact, nothing in this world will be.

[k_in_black]

K does! "Woof! Hello there, Suzi, how are you feeling, Darlin'?"

K isn't much better at the hugging than Zed is, but he's much better at faking it. And he appreciates it just the same--just don't ask him to admit it.

Zed's even stopped glowering over the fact that he's already back in this place. Well, stopped for the moment, anyway.

[sime_channel]

After she's let go of K (it takes a while) Zed gets the same treatment. Because this is Suzi Darley, and she's like that. "Still having nightmares, but I'm done with the throwing up and hallucinating." She says in a matter of fact tone.

[k_in_black]

Both Men in Black look concerned, and not for the first time, K gives Zed a quick glare. He knows the Chief had to make the call to include her in the mission, but K doesn't have to like it.

"Suzi, if you have any trouble--," Zed carefully avoids a word like 'relapse', "I hope you'll let us know."

[renegade_enzo]

Matrix is sitting at the bar, drinking a Wikibrau.

He looks over and smirks when he sees K.

"Hey. Think I saw you after that whole Black Oil deal. You're one of them Men in Black, right?"

Well, the suit's a likely giveaway, but y'know. Whatever.

[k_in_black]

K is up from his seat right away and heads over, hand out to shake.

"Matrix! Was hoping to run into you. My name's K. I wanted to thank you for helping us out. Couldn't have made it without your help."

[renegade_enzo]

Matrix chuckles as he shakes the hand.

"Hey, no problem. I was gettin' bored anyway."

[k_in_black]

"Looks like you and I have the same take on boredom. But even for us, this one was pretty out there. We're still trying to figure out what that tentacled alien was that came after you, Bob, and the Bunny."

[maxwellsdemon02]

There are two Men In Black over there. Duo definitely recognizes Zed, but the other guy looks kinda familiar, too.

Maybe through a mech's view screen and covered in slime...yeah. He was there.

Duo grins, and heads over to the bar. "Evenin'."

[bring_a_sponge]

"Maxwell! Get over here and let me buy you a drink. K, this is Duo Maxwell, the Gundam pilot who blasted the living shit out of the Oil with that mech."

K puts out a hand, "Duo. Pleased to meet you. That was a hell of a job you did."

[maxwellsdemon02]

Duo shakes the offered hand, always pleased at praise for his piloting skills. "I do what comes naturally. Err, how's the reconstruction going?"

He does feel a little guilty about that. But hey, the giant cockroach so had it coming.

[bring_a_sponge]

"Slow but steady," Zed replies. "We're tearing the whole place down and starting over. Giving the place a full upgrade, first one it's had since '61. Long overdue anyway."

"...So next time you want to borrow the mech, keep your finger off that damn launch button," Zed growls. But it's one of those good-natured growls. Sort of.
