Ready, Set, Go! [everyone in the rescue]

[Catwoman]

(ok the title is awful but I was listening to Tokio Hotel... )

Carbucketty didn't get very far as the Jellicles coming out of Jelly's den seemed to come right to him. He stopped running, "Hey! Are you guys going to go rescue Munkustrap?" He asked softly incase they actually weren't.

[eliaza]

Merrilee stared at Carbuckety as if the tom had just asked the dumbest question in the world. (In her opinion, he had.) "No," she said sarcastically, "we're all out for a walk. Lovely day for it, yes?"

Alyssa elbowed her. "Are you always so rude?" She walked up to Carbuckety. "Yup, we're out for the rescue all right. Come to join us? Oh, by the way, I'm Alyssa," she added. "I don't think we've met."

Alonzo was rather impatient to be getting on, though he didn't display it rudely as Merri had. "If we're all ready, then...?"

Mungojerrie caught up with Carbuckety, panting. "Don' leave wi'out me!"

((ermm...I'm sure Teazer would've wanted to help too, but no one's playing her. maybe someone could at least temp her?))

[Catwoman]

((Teazer was adopted by Catariel Probably should have mentioned that earlier =S))

Carbucketty turned to Mungojerrie with a giggled, "Sorry Jerr, I guess you're not as quick as you used to be..." He teased and then turned back to the others.

[eliaza]

((oh!! Yaay!!!!! I'll have to give Catty a giant hug when she's on! ))

[Catwoman]

((haha yes! I'm sure she's gonna be a fantastic Teazer!))

[jemima]

Bill ran up to the group of cats in front of him. "We all here?" He asked. He was becoming once again,very impacient.

[catariel]

Skimble followed Bill to the gaggle of cats gathered and waiting in anticipation. "Hello, Carbuketty," he smiled distractedly. Deep down he still felt worried that somecat would be fatally hurt... or worse, but this reminded him of Jenny, and he kept his concern hidden.

((Sure Teazer wants to help! Whew, huge group, here))

Rumpelteazer caught up with her brother and linked arms with him, swinging him around once. "Ya didn't think you could get rid o' me that easy, did ya?" She swatted at his ear with her tail. "An after all Oi've done for yew! Run off to a fight wi'out me, wot?"

[Catwoman]

((I wouldn't consider this a rescue group anymore.... This is a freaking ARMY! XD Old Deuteronomy's army...))

When Carbucketty saw the tom (Skimbleshanks) he felt relaxed as he trusted the older tom and always felt safe around him. He pounced over next to him, "Hi Skimble." Carbucketty isn't he bravest cat out there and he tends to look to his elder's for reassurance.

[eliaza]

((O.D.A. .... hehehe...))

"Oi wosn't gonna leave ya be'ind..." Mungojerrie protested. "Just wosn't gonna tell ya," he muttered.

Alyssa shrugged when Carbuckety ignored her introduction. Apparently he was about as rude as Merri. "Well, then, are we goin' on a rescue or not?"

"Just hold up a bit," said Alonzo. "We've gotta make sure we know what we're actually going to do! I mean, we can't all just thunder in there at once...there's way too large a group. We'll have to... spread out. Now, most likely Macavity's got henchcats patrolling the construction site now, after his little run-in with Mungo and Teazer... Someone... a couple people... should go and...start a little fight with them. Nothing huge, mind; in fact, if you could even just keep them talking and not get physical at all, that'd be great. Any volunteers?" He looked around at them. Then he reddened slightly, and added, "If everyone thinks that's a good idea, I mean." He'd sort of automatically gone into 'leadership mode', now that both Munkustrap and Old D. were gone, but the others might not like it.

Merrilee hated to admit it, but it did sound like a reasonably good plan. She didn't volunteer, though; she wanted to go to where her brother and dad were, not stay outside and wonder what was happening.

"Ooh, sounds fun!" said Alyssa. "Can I be one of the people to do that? I'm good at making people talk," she added, smirking slightly as she remembered her conversation with Gilbert.

[Catwoman]

"I think maybe... I should be one of those people too..." He said softly, "I'm not really a fighter, and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to do much if there was a fight down in the dungeons... I'm a good distracter mind you."

[catariel]

Skimble smiled. He felt proud of Alonzo, what a fine cat he was shaping up to be. At last they were hearing a sensible plan!

"Wot?" Rumpel pouted, widening her eyes to their fullest pleading potential. "Brovah ((that's 'brother' )), yew wouldn't try to go off an' 'ave all the fun wi'out me, wouldya? Whoi would yew leave me behoind?" She asked pitifully.

[eliaza]

Hmm,let's think. Maybe so y' wouldn' get y'self killed? But if he said that out loud, she'd only get angry. So he shrugged. "Eh, so I c'ld listen to ya beg t' come along." He winked.

"Yaay!" Alyssa grinned broadly at Carbuckety. "You wanna talk to the mean cats with me? Fun!"

Merrilee clenched her jaw. "No. Not fun. If you can't take this seriously..."

"As long as they get the job done, I don't care if they think we're hunting catnip," said Alonzo.

"Yeah, and just who put you in charge?"

"Oh, quit with that, we don't have time to waste fighting!" He looked to the others for help.

[aevany]

Tumblebrutus rushed up to the group just in time to listen to Alonzo's plan. Tumblebrutus hero-worshiped the tom, and he certianly wasn't dissapointing him, "Oh, I'll keep them talking as well. I have to keep an eye on Alyssa and make sure no henchcat tries to hurt her." He threw an arm around Alyssa protectively.

[catariel]

"Oh good," Rumpel smiled. She hugged Mungo a little too tightly. "So, what are we waitin' for? We can't stand 'round 'ere chin-wagging all day, we've got rescuin' ta do!"

[eliaza]

Alyssa pulled a wry face. "We'll see who's protecting whom!" She winked to let him know she was just playing, and turned to the others. "So yeah, are we, like, ready?"

"Oi am," said Mungo, hugging his sister back and keeping his hold protectively. Why was he suddenly so worried? They'd done this dozens of times, hadn't they?

"But maybe we should hear the rest of the plan?" said Merri, exasperated. "All we know right now is that...Carbuckety, Alyssa, and Tumble are going to keep the patrolling henchcats talking. Okay, so what are the rest of us going to do?" She looked to Alonzo, eyebrow raised.

"Um... sneak inside, rescue Munkustrap and Old D., leave?" It sounded simple, but hey, maybe the most simple plan was the best in this case. Alonzo nodded to confirm his own words. "Mungo and Teazer could scout a little ways' ahead of us, let us know if the coast is clear." He looked at the twins. "Think you can do that?" Maybe this leadership stuff wasn't so hard after all! He was just glad he wouldn't have to be the one doing it for much longer...

"Oi think we c'n 'andle that, don' yew, sis?" Mungojerrie grinned.
