“You bitch! I’m not doing a damn thing for you. Do you know who I am?”
Chris was red with anger.
“How would you like your husband to know why his little girl has been so upset these last couple weeks? You see in the end we’re even and we both have an equal amount at stake.”

(OOC: Not regenerating, but I'm continuing our conversation, lol. By the way, as of now, Kate has no idea Brianna is also a lifeguard)
"Of course", thought Kate. It just had to be a diseased monkey on the run that hides inside a haunted house, waiting to bite more people.
-Wonderful... I just feel like monkey hunting. How could I say no.... wait, who am I kidding? I think I'd have preferred it if you announced me there was actually some kind of alien invasion. But, hey. My first day as a lifeguard, I'm not going to say no to some lifesaving... even if it means running after diseased monkeys in haunted houses...
She sighed loudly.
-I can't believe I actually said that. Wait a minute, okay?
Kathleen took a cellphone from her bag and dialed a number; the number of the Lifeguard HQ.
-I'm calling my job to ask them to come pick up Pip (she gestured at the ice cream eating boy) and their ice cream, I was supposed to take it back to them, but hey... it's taking forever for him to eat that, and we seem to have more pressing simian matters. Oh... by the way, I'm Kathleen Scott... you can call me Kate. Glad to meet you... despite the... very, very odd... circumstances.

"Wow... you're a lifeguard, too? What a weird coincidence! So am I! Although... I guess I'm probably off to a pretty rocky start with the boss, actually. I'm supposed to be at my recruitment meeting right now, but... what with having to take a guy to hospital, and then all the monkey-business, I've been a little side-tracked."
Brianna chewed her bottom lip nervously. She had been so prepared this morning, even going so far as to show up early with plenty of time to spare before the meeting. But then she had run into Chris... one thing had led to another... and now here she was. Hunting a monkey before it could infect another innocent person with fatal herpes. This... really was not how she had pictured her first day. She just hoped that her new boss would be understanding, and not make this her LAST day on the job.
"Nice to meet you, Kate. I'm Brianna! Now... I think we should get going. That monkey's dangerous, and we can't let it stay on the loose."
She readied herself to leave, but stopped to look back at Pip. The little boy looked happy enough, scoffing his mammoth ice-cream. But Brianna's maternal instincts were kicking-in. She turned to Kate.
"Is he going to be OK here? If he eats too much of that, he's going to get sick..."

At the hospital...Mrs. Palmer sneers. "Go ahead and tell that lameduck husband of mine. I've been looking for an excuse to divorce him anyways. You'll be hearing from me soon, loverboy!" She makes an expression like a tiger and claws the air with one hand before departing. Chris just blinked in bewilderment at that, not quite sure how to respond to Mrs. Palmer's latest ultimatum. Just then, Dr. Woody walked in followed by two people in biohazard suits. "Good news, son! These nice people from SDU want to study you before you die. Err... I mean before you're cured. *ahem*" The tallest suited figure spoke up. "I'm Dr. Chin and this is my assistant Dr. Yang. Of course you will be well compensated for your cooperation. We are prepared to offer you 5 THOUSAND DOLLARS per day. Although of course you are only expected to live for 2, but still that's a lot of money. What do you say?" The shorter assistant added in a soft feminine voice, "You will be helping humanity a great deal with what we learn from you. Of course we would also like you to sign these autopsy authorization forms. What better way to go then to further the advancement of science, right?" Chris smiled when he heard Dr. Yang's voice. Perhaps it wouldn't be too bad to be studied 24/7 by that chick. And to top it off he was gonna be paid a lot of CASH. Maybe his luck was changing for the better! =============== At the lifeguard lounge...Erika was walking over to give Bubbleboy a hug when she suddenly slipped on a banana peel! Her feet went flying up in that slow motion fall that you know is going to end terribly but you also know that you are powerless to stop. She hit the ground with a loud *THUD* passing out. CJ groaned. "Yasmeen, what did I tell you about disposing of your banana peels properly after eating?" Yasmeen shrugged her shoulders eloquently. "I figured, what are the odds of that happening, right?" CJ looked expectantly at Bubble Boy. "Well, what are you waiting for? You're on the job now. Let's see you revive her!" Bubble Boy hesitated a moment as he looked at the unconscious pretty redhead lady. "You mean CPR?" Both CJ and Yasmeen nodded and said in unison, "Uh huh!" =============== At Crazy Eddie's ice cream shack...Brianna felt someone grope her ass. Aaah, again!? Did Chris escape the hospital? She turned in indignation to see the offender, Crazy Eddie. "Sorry, they looked just like hotdog buns, my bad." He was holding a hotdog in his hand. "Well that one's ruined." He tossed it aside. "Anyways I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. Don't worry about Pip, I can watch over him until you get back. Besides," He snorted. "I wouldn't want to be the one to chase after some crazy diseased monkey. Hahaha, good luck with that ladies!" Kathleen looked to Brianna. Brianna looked back to Kathleen. They both had the expression on their face that showed they knew they were about to do something crazy here. "Well... uhh let's go then," said Kathleen walking very slowly and making sure that Brianna was following behind. I am NOT going into that Haunted House alone!!Pip waved happily at the departing lifeguards. The crowd ooh'd and aah'd as he finished off another section of massive ice cream kangaroo.

Time slowed for Erika as she slipped on the peel her arms windmilled in slow motion as she tried in vain to stop her fall and slowly almost inexorbirbly her legs flew out from under her "Oohh shii-" THUD a flash of red and then all was dark.

(OOC: Just for future reference, Kate currently wears a t-shirt and shorts over her yellow swimsuit, which she put on before going at Crazy Eddie's)
Kathleen "Siren" Scott
"Guys", thought Kate as she controlled herself to not get too angry at Crazy Eddie. It seemed like boys were very forward around there. Oh, well, whatever.
As both ladies were walking towards the so-called haunted house, Kathleen looked at Brianna with a suddenly puzzled look:
-Say... how come we are the ones supposed to capture an infectuous monkey on the run? Isn't that the job of animal... specialists... or something? No wait, let me guess... there's no such specialist around for miles and so it falls on our shoulders to do it or something like that?
She sighs and add, still walking:
-Besides, I'm specialized in underwater fauna, not in monkeys... what a day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 2/2 E: 19/19
3 stones into Social Skills (Socialize, Lifeguard) to discuss with Brianna as they walk towards their doom... lol.
2 stones into Agility, shifted to defense in case something unexpected happens.

Brianna had already been having one heck of a day, and being groped by some sleazy ice-cream peddler was not helping. She fixed Crazy Eddie with an unimpressed glare, and gave a haughty flick of her long brown hair.
"Yes... thank you," she replied icily, playing the passive-aggressive card for all it was worth.
The bikini-clad lifeguard fell into step behind Kate, as the pair of them prepared to head-out to the Haunted House. The mere thought of once again stepping into that creepy death-trap made Brianna's skin crawl... but she HAD to. Chris was counting on her to find that monkey!
"I guess it's just a time-pressure thing," she ventured an explanation to Kathleen, when the other woman questioned why animal control weren't dealing with this little problem, "The doctors need to know what strain of monkey-herpes has infected Chris as soon as possible, if they're going to be able to get him the cure he needs in time to save him. And you know how things like this can be. It'll be all forms, forms, forms..."
Brianna shrugged her slender shoulders, obviously not having too high an opinion of the bureaucratic nature of most "official" agencies. No... she suspected that if they wanted to get this monkey-hunting done, they would have to do it themselves!
"C'mon, Kate... there's no time to lose!"
She had a sense of urgency in her voice, as she hurried out of the ice-cream shack to begin the all-important journey to the Haunted House. That monkey had better still be there! Brianna paused for a second, making a show of glancing back to check that little Pip was OK being left on his own... but, in reality, she was actually checking on Crazy Eddie himself. When he was least expecting it, she used her unique mutant talents to tip over an ice-cube filled glass of cold water, and spill it's liquid contents all over the man's crotch! Petty, but completely necessary...
"That'll teach him to grab my ass!"
========================================== Health 3/3. Energy 9/9.
Telekinesis 2: *Cool-off Crazy Eddie when he's least expecting it; 1 to tip a glass, 1 to keep it subtle, and not let on that Brianna is responsible.
Speed 1: *Start heading for the Haunted House, as fast as someone running almost entirely in slow-motion can manage.

At the Haunted House...
Brianna was still chuckling to herself at the look on Crazy Eddie's face when he found his pants all wet. She stopped chuckling when they got to the Haunted House. The place looked deserted and as forbidding as ever. The windowpanes looked like they were stained with blood, obscuring the view of the interior. Uh, it's not real blood, it's not real, repeated Brianna to herself fervently.
Kathleen looked at the darkened structure with her hands on her hips. Somewhere in there lurked a diseased monkey. A monkey that had given a guy named Chris deadly herpes. Ok, why did I agree to do this again? Oh yeah, saving lives. She ducked under the velvet rope and ignored the CLOSED sign as she pushed the door open. It creaked aside spookily. "Sounds like that needs to be oiled," remarked Kathleen blithely.
Inside the Haunted House it was quite dark. The usual creepy things could be seen, like disembodied body parts and ghastly looking zombies. But fortunately nothing seemed to be moving right now. A little further down the hall Brianna could see a miniature graveyard. The ground looked freshly disturbed. As if something... had crawled out. "OMG, OMG!", whispered Brianna hoarsely as she pointed out what she saw to Kathleen.

Kathleen "Siren" Scott
-Come on... it's nothing. No undead things in false haunted houses, remember? Of course there are monkeys with deadly diseases, but...
Nevertheless, she inspected the ground from a safe distance.
-'Sides, it's probably only where our mister monkey burries trinkets and shiny things that he finds around or something. Keep a look around, would you?
She searched her surroundings for a long object, at least the length of a baseball bat or something similar.
-So... where was our little furry thing when you last saw him? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 2/2 E: 19/19
4 stones into Intelligence to locate a long, solid object like a baseball bat, a golf club or anything of similar size and solidity ('cause I guess there's little chance of finding a golf club or baseball bat in a haunted house).
2 stones into Close Combat shifted to defense, just in case...

Already on-edge about being in the Haunted House at all, the sight of the disturbed faux-graveyard was not really doing anything to help Brianna's nerves. Neither were Kate's "comforting" words.
"Yeah... the killer monkey was kind-of what had me worried, y'know?", she said, while keeping her eye out for the disease-spreading simian in question, "And of all the places that little creep could be... he had to pick a freaky old dump like this!"
Brianna glanced around, rather nervously. She knew that the cheap plastic skeletons and rubber spiders were nothing to worry about. But whatever hidden nasties could be lurking behind the cheap Halloween decorations... that was another story.
"Uh... yeah, Chris and I first saw the monkey over in one of the back rooms. C'mon, I'll show you..."
============================================ Health 3/3. Energy 9/9.

At the Haunted House...As they got closer to the graveyard, Kathleen suddenly felt the urge to search for an object with a long hard shaft to grip with both hands. She thought she saw something vaguely wooden near a large open hole in the ground. The earth was freshly disturbed. Brianna's teeth were chattering. "What are you looking for?" "Oh is that a shovel, maybe I can grab this..." She bent over to pick it up. Just then Kathleen's cellphone went off, startling the already frightened girl behind her badly. Brianna bumped right into Kathleen. "Hey wait!?", gasped Kathleen who had not been expecting an attack from that quarter. Kathleen pitched face first into the open grave! Her cellphone fell to the ground in the process. "OMG!" gasped Kathleen. She landed with a loud thump into something vaguely human. "Ewww, I landed on a corpse??" The body had dark grayish skin and it looked like the scalp had been stitched close. The eyelids fluttered open as the zombie groaned, "Who you calling a corpse?!" Brianna squealed in fright backing slowly away from the grave. What's a ZOMBIE doing here?? She suddenly felt a warm trickle going down her leg. "Oh great, I just peed myself!" The sound of the cellphone ringing insistently echoed through the dark graveyard as the two lifeguards found themselves face to face with an unexpected Horror! =============== At the lifeguard lounge...CJ checked her cellphone. "I've got a message. So I'll just take this outside. You," she pointed at Bubble Boy, "save life!" And then the tall blonde walked out. Yasmeen grinned. "I can give you pointers. See, you use your mouth like this." She mimicked kissing the air in exaggerated fashion. "Also, I hear that you got a better chance of saving her if you stuck your tongue in and wiggle it around like this!" Bubble Boy looked on in terror as he watched the dark haired lifeguard waggle her tongue in the air. I gotta stick my tongue in to save her?? Oh my god!!CJ flipped open her cellphone and checked her missed calls. "Oh isn't that one of the new recruit's numbers? Hmm, that was 10 minutes ago. Well I better see what the matter is." She hit redial for the missed call and waited. I hope Yasmeen doesn't act too weird with the new recruits. Her and those damn banana peels, sheesh. If Erika fell the wrong way, her tongue could be choking her right now. Oh well, I'm sure BB and Yasmeen can handle it. She tapped her foot after several rings. "She called me, and now she has the nerve not to pick up? Hmmm." CJ's golden brow arched in slight irritation as she waited for someone to pick up.

Kathleen "Siren" Scott
No freakin' way... No way she was going to accept that. Kate had seen much in a single day, but the living dead was going waaaaay too far. That guy had to be some kind of moron that had decided to lie in wait in the tomb to scare the hell out of intruders or something with the help of a convincing costume, convincing make-up and some less than convincing acting skills. She had had enough of impossible stuff already, she swore that this time, there'd be a rationnal explanation. Sitting on the so-called zombie's body, her knee under his throat to immobilize him like her self-defense teacher had... teached (hell yeah) her, she catched her cellphone on the ground, but she didn't answer exactly right away, she was too angry... and she needed to tell a couple of words to the damned guy.
-First: you don't move. Second: who ELSE in this freaky cemetary would I call "corpse"?! Do you see another guy around disguised as you are?!
She was fulminating. She finally answered the cellphone, not releasing the "zombie" if she had anything to say in the matter.
-Kathleen here. Sorry, I'm quite busy for the moment. Please call again in a couple of minutes, thanks!
She put the cellphone back in her pocket, grabbed the zombie with both hands, and asked:
-Now... I wanna know who the hell you are, I want to know what you're doing here, I wanna know what you are, and please do not tell me you are a darn real zombie or I swear I'll beat you to death with the shovel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 2/2 E: 19/19
5 stones into Close Combat+Agility to immobilize the zombie against the ground;
4 stones into Social Skills to intimidate the thing into telling me what I want to know right away... Kate does not want to play nice anymore, lol.
End E: 10/19 Defense: 2 (Ref.Dodge) Mental defense: 8

Chris thought to himself.
Five thousand dollars a day? That’s a lot of hookers! That’s like a hooker a day… all day every day. Hell… inside a mansion, in a hot tub… filled with other hookers! Damn that would be great!
He smiled to himself.
“Where do I sign?”
Yang extended the pad forward, and eagerly… he grabbed the pen from her other hand. As he signed he looked at Yang’s eyes.
“So tell me… Ms… Dr… Yang! How could a hottie like you not have a ring on your finger?”
She blushed a little. He stopped signing for a second.
“Date?”
She replied.
“Uh… it’s Wednesday August 27, 2008.”
Chris smiled.
“No! I wasn’t asking because I was interested in today’s date! I was interested in seeing you in a black sideslip dress later on tonight! I can’t leave this hospital so why don’t you show up… say an hour before visiting hours are over… and we will have dinner together… and I will have desert on you!”

Dr. Yang hesitated then looked to Dr. Chin. "Should I tell him, now?", she asked while Chris eagerly signed the release forms. Dr. Chin nodded. "Well, Mr. Cline. As part of your experiments we have a cooperative experiment scheduled with another volunteer." Dr. Chin cleared his throat. "You may come in now Shawndra." The tall, leggy 'volunteer' entered the room, clad all in black leather clothing. "Oh my, isn't this one cute. What's your name, hon?" The scientists pulled out clipboards and could be seen scribbling some observations but Chris' attention was all on Shawndra now. Shawndra pulled Chris in close and gave him a long wet kiss. Yes, my luck has finally changed for the better, thought Chris to himself as he put his full attention into the kiss. Dr. Chin cleared his throat. "Don't forget that the testing of the body sheath condom is part of the requirements for payment." Dr. Yang pulled out a cart. There was an enormous condom wrapper on top of it, big enough to... fit an entire adult human? "Let me help you out of those clothes and into this," purred Shawndra. After Chris had been fitted with the full body condom he spread his arms and said, "Well how do I look?" "Simply delicious, I could eat you all up!", whimpered Shawndra as Chris was shoved forcefully onto the hospital bed. Dr. Yang started up what looked like a camcorder device. "Oh and you don't mind if I use these right? I like to get kinky." Before Chris could even reply he heard the *snick* of handcuffs closed over his wrist and another *snick* as the handcuff was attached to the bedpost. "Now just lie back and let Shawndra take care of everything." As Shawndra's top came off Chris could tell instantly that the perfect boobs were the result of silicon implants, but at that point he hardly cared... As Chris' hands roamed freely over Shawndra's body he marveled at how fit and thickly muscled it felt. As he slipped his hands between Shawndras legs he suddenly felt something getting hard... "Dude's a man!", gasped Chris in surprise. Shawndra merely purred in his ear, "I'm going to enjoy this!! Oh, and you can call me Shawn for short." When Chris took a second look at Shawndra he finally noticed the telltale Adam's apple that a transexual male can't hide. I notice this now??
