I thought it would be cool, to have like, a section, where we could be our characters, and hang out, and create drama.... I'll start:

"She walked down the street, confident, but aloof, mightily, though as if on a cloud. She sat on a solitary park bench, in her red silk dress, and stiletto heels, when....

...pulls out a shriveled monkey paw. With a fatal glimpse in her eyes she smiles at me and her velvet voice asks me "BadAss, be a gentleman and help me scratch that itchy spot on my back". While I'm at this "little job", Shadette grins at Makenzie saying....

*looks at BadAss* You're supposed to follow the storyline!

"Because around the corner she saw....."

Mar-14-2006 20:50

sorry Lucian, but when I was typing you were already ahead of me with your post. Found out after I posted it... Anyway "around the corner she saw..."

((( off topic: *breaks out in a sudden fit of laughter* You guys are a trip!! I love it! )

Shady. Her own brother. Theyhaven't seen each other in a long time, and upon seeing each other, they embraced each other. Makensie chuckled, and says to herself, "Gee, how touching. Now, what else can happen?"

Keeping watch on them, Lucian stops walking, and subtly turns to watch the action between brother and sister, but his dog decided they weren't done walking, and tugged him around so fast, he dang near fell into Crunchpatty, who was so startled, he flung his cigarette to the side.

Makensie couldn't hold in the laughter anymore, and she bent over in hysterics, nearly taking her breath. "Gotta love'em" she says.

Maybe eventually we will crack this case, but for now, it was quite entertaining,having all of the communities detectives working together, or atleast trying to between all the bloopers that seemed to be going on.

"Yes....you DO have to love them. Dont you?", she hears behiind her.

"What the hell?", she says out loud. "Who is standing by my look out post?", she says, as she turns.

"Well, I'll be a sonofabiscuit. It's YOU!!" , Makensie says loud enough for Lucian and BadAss to hear.

They look over, and as Lucian is trying to get his dog under control, they notice that it is........

...no one less than Ben, the Sleuth Admin himself. He's wearing a leopard-sparkled fez and his peering eyes are hidden behind fashionable shades. In his one hand he's holding a tommy gun, in the other a steel briefcase. The latter holds all the banknotes that were collected after all the subscriptions were paid for. Ben takes a puff from his cigar. While he's slowly blowing tyh smake in Makenzie's face he whispers in a soft voice...

Mar-15-2006 09:04

..."Did you know that Shady and Shodette have another sibling?"

Makensie laughs. "Nope, but go on."

Lucian unwinds his dog from his legs. The puppy playfully runs around the park while Lucian straightens out. BadAss picks himself up, asks Isabel to wait a moment, and the two men head over to Ben.

Ben, with his leopard fez, tacky yet stylish glasses, and his money is puffing on his cigar when the men arrive.

"Well, well, well. More visitors," Ben says with a slight smile.

The Shady siblings, holding hands, stroll the pathway of the park. It seems like it was ages since they last saw each other. At least they won't overhear Ben's little history lesson.

Makensie gets up from her bench and notices Crunchpatty running towards her. Makensie casually points at Ben, and Crunchpatty nods. As they join the group of men, another visitor walks by. Ben peers over at them.

"Hold on, folks. Before I can tell you about the Shady siblings, the person that's walking by could be interested, too. It's not nice to exclude people, so if he or she comes closer...please let them join us."

The person, was in fact, interested. The sun that day was particularly bright, so it was hard to see people that were far away from your presence. As the person got closer, everyone saw that it was.......

Mar-15-2006 10:12

Sunny. A big, warm smile appears across Ben's face, and says, "Ahhhhh, yes, I wasn't able to see who it was so far away but it is good to see that it is my other half, or should I say...better half" Sunny smiles, saying, "Better half, honey" , as she pats his arm.

Ben begins, "Ok, folks, now the time has come for me to tell you about the Shady siblings....."

As he is talking, someone could be heard hollering down the walk, "HOLD UP!! WAIT FOR ME!! HEY!!"

Makensie takes a drag off her cigarette, and says to Bad, and Lucian, "Well would you look at that? Look who decided to show up! None other than......"

Mar-15-2006 10:52

Charlie Cain in his trademarked hat and coat smoking his unfiltered lucky strike cigarette.

"Its been awhile Makensie who are your friends. " As I look at the two men who are with you and slowly smile. I take another drag on my cigarette and ask "So how have you all been?"

Mar-15-2006 11:31

Makensie smiles at Charlie and his trademarked outfit. "Everyone's been dandy, Charlie" she says. "Ben here's just talking about Shady's third sibling."

Charlie taps off another drag. "Really? Well, let me in on your conversation. I'm intrigued."

Ben smiles. "Well, should I start our story or is someone else going to drop in?"

Crunchpatty, Lucian, BadAss, Makensie, Charlie, and Sunny all laugh. "It's possible," Sunny replies. "I haven't seen such a stranger group of people than today!"

Ben chuckles. "You're forgetting Amsterdam, honey," he says. Sunny smiles. "Amsterdam... how could I forget those giant clogs? OK, so the meetup in Amsterdam was stranger than this unexpected meetup in the park. You're right, honey."

Ben sighs. "What a bizarre day it has been. Alright, it's time to start my tale. As we all know, Shady is the man in the bar who wipes out false accusations in return for money. His sister, Shadette, is one of Big Lucy's apparentices. She's responsible for moving the cabaret everywhere in New York. Rumour has it she is dating Larry the Toe."

Makensie puckers. "Ewww!! Who could love that ugly, battered scum? She has a bad taste in men!"

Ben winks. "Anyway, here's where the story gets interesting. The two Shady siblings have a secret. They have a third siblings. No one knows about him. He hides in and around New York. Only I and his siblings know he exists. You see, his name is...."

Mar-15-2006 12:22

"...Shadisius. He plays out around here in New York, and occassionally goes to visit his cousins: Shadis in London, Shady-Zhong in Shanghai, and Shadiaja in Delhi. He runs a peddling business near the meat emporium. He goes by the name Bimby. Sells garbage for money. His siblings visit him daily... sometimes they leave with dirty coats, rusted nails, and bent spoons. It may sound crazy, but it's as true as a Rasputin Egg."

Makensie looks at Ben wide-eyed. "Whoa! That's...wierd..."

BadAss looks lovingly at Isabel waiting ever-so patiently on the park bench he had left half an hour ago. "Is that all, Mr. Ringold? I have someone to get back to," he says.

Ben nods. "Alright, but if you'd like, you can bring that girl over here for the rest of the story."

BadAss shrugs. "Why not?" He runs over to the bench, and walks Isabel to the crowd. "Hello," she says shyly. Everyone waves a hello to Isabel.

"Now then, where was I? Oh yes, Shadisius and his street peddling business. Well, that is only a day job for the man. At night things change--" Ben abruptly stopped when he heard his wife scream.

Sunny was pointing at something. But what? She fainted dead away in a few seconds. While Ben was reviving his poor spouse, the rest of the gang ran to the spot Sunny was pointing at. What they saw made their hearts pond....
