IC-Chapter 1-Oh You Pretty Things(Kathleen Scott/Barney)

[Mr. Handy]

"Not all wars are just, of course," added Maxine quickly. "We have no business being in Vietnam. World War Two was one thing, but this is a clearly illegal war."

"It's easy for you to say," Moonchild said to Kathleen. "You can't be drafted. I can. And if I do get a draft notice, my kids will have to settle for Vancouver instead."

"Barney, you said you think Morpheus is dangerous? What did they say about it?" saidMaxine.

"Well, apparently it's not a drug at all - just a potentially deadly chemical which is all very hush-hush.
Perhaps this Brian really does belong in the nick, if he's trying to sell untested, dangerous sh*t to random strangers!
The scientists at the cop shop seemed worried about it getting on the streets, and no mistake!"

Kathleen just said to Moonchild, "Yeah hippy boy. I would burn my draft card if I can but all I can do is burn my bra. At least I am free. How bout you repressing your little love biscuit over there. Not that Daisy would know what to do if she were free that is."

[Mr. Handy]

"What did the scientists say about Morpheus after I left, exactly?" Maxine asked Barney.

"I've had enough of your negative vibes," said Moonchild to Kathleen.

"Yeah," said Daisy. "All you do is bring people down. Not groovy. Come on, let's get out of here."

"I'm with you, baby." Moonchild took Daisy by the arm and they walked out the door.

Kathleen yelled at the door after them, "Make love not war peacenik biches" and then slammed the door after them. She turned to Maxine and Barney and said, "you guys care for some whiskey or LSD cake?"

[Mr. Handy]

"Whiskey for me, please," said Maxine. She smirked at the door after Kathleen had slammed it. "We don't need those hippies anyway. The three of us are up to the task."

"What did the scientists say about Morpheus after I left, exactly?" Maxine asked Barney.

"That was about it, really; I think they said there's only been one production run so far."

[Mr Zombie killer]

Kathleen poured three large glasses of whiskey and handed them out to Barney and Maxine. She sat down and crossed her legs while sipping at her glass of whiskey.

[Mr. Handy]

Maxine sat on the couch and sipped her whiskey too. "We need to make a plan for tomorrow," she said. "In the morning, Kathleen and I can go down to Dr. Anderson's office and see if we can get into that experiment this weekend. We're grad students, so we're eligible to participate. Barney, you're not, but I'm sure there's something else you can do while we're meeting the professor. Maybe you could do a little background research on him?"

[Mr Zombie killer]

Kathleen smiled and said, "If you want you can do a little background research on me and Maxine right now. Your cute and we like the rough stuff"

[Mr. Handy]

Maxine laughed when Barney didn't respond. "I think he's shy, Kathy," she said.

[Mr. Handy]

Barney Brainstorm,[b]Barney[/b] realized that as a professor at Penn, [b]Dr. Anderson[/b] would have published more than a few papers, and there was likely information about him at one or more of the university's libraries in addition to anything he had written himself. Of course, the libraries wouldn't be open until the morning. It also occurred to him that when the hippies had left, so had his ride. They had brought him here in their minibus, and in order to get home he would have to either walk a good distance or take a cab or a bus...or he could crash here for the night.

[mikc]

"Welll ..." Barney eyed up the two chicks, "I wouldn't say no to an invite to stay over; I can check out the libraries tomorrow, and in the meantime ..."

He left the sentence hanging and made himself more comfortable, moving nearer to the girls.

ooc,that's as far as I roleplay this situation!

[Mr Zombie killer]

Handy,I agree with Mikc. Lets say whatever happens happens and skip ahead to morning

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,Okay, I'll skip ahead to morning when I can. There's just one thread that needs to be wrapped up before we can move on to Thursday morning. The events that are happening there may impact what happens tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be too long of a delay.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,Please bear with me a while longer. It's taking some time to finish up the other thread that's still on Wednesday night before I can move on to Thursday. I'll try to get your thread moving as soon as I can.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,Your wait won't be too much longer. Something may happen Wednesday night depending on how another thread goes, so I can't move you ahead to Thursday morning just yet.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,Okay, we're ready to get moving again! Hope you're both still with me, and I'm sorry for the delay.

The night passed in a marijuana-induced haze. Even though Barney himself did not indulge, there was enough blowing in the air from the two women that he couldn't help getting a buzz from it.

It was a little past 8:00 when they finally awakened, sunlight streaming in through the windows. Maxine sat up groggily and rubbed her eyes. "God, I'm hungry!" she exclaimed.

[Mr Zombie killer]

Kathleen turned over in the bed and slapped Maxine on the ass. "Well get up bitch and cook us breakfast then!"
