Electra had hurried away from the tire, but had now slowed her pace as she came to the center of the yard. The dark queen made he way along the center, managing to sidestep some of the cats rushing to and fro. Finding a slightly quieter spot she stopped and just watched the life that was contained in the junkyard; something was always happening one place or another here. And those things weren't always good apparently. It was still a bit of a shock that she hadn't known that something so big had happened...
Closing her eyes briefly Lecky took a deep breath and let it out slowly. It didn't help that her earlier carefree mood had been soured by the news and being called the wrong name. Had it been another dark coloured cat, it might not have bothered her as much but after fading into the background for so long it still kind of hurt. Another deep breath. Lecky had gotten past this, or so she had thought. Instead of dwelling, Electra watched everything happening around her wondering if she'd actually be able to help Alonzo like she said she would, or if she'd be better off staying out of the way. Another deep breath. Lecky was determined not to dwell.

The dark-maned tom muttered to himself as he tried to figure out which way Tommy might have gone. Wow this place was a veritable maze of cool stuff! Normally he'd like that-Merton loved stuff, but right now he was a cat on a mission. He could practically hear the 'Mission Impossible' theme playing in his ears. "I have to find Tommy!" he muttered to himself, almost walking right into the pretty queen standing there. Noticing Electra at the last moment, he jumped back, windmilling his arms attempting to keep his balance & look cool at the same time. . .yeah that didn't happen. The small energetic tom landed painfully on his rump. Not one to give in to embarrassment, however, Merton crossed his legs flashed a big smile & said, "Hi there. I'm looking for a tom. . ."

Not dwelling was much easier said, or rather thought, than done. She nearly hadn't noticed a rather large movement so close to her, and windmilling arms were pretty hard to not notice. Shoving her previous thoughts away quite forcefully Lecky smiled at Merton as he crossed his legs. A tom. The dark queen laughed, "That's very descriptive Merton. I'm sure if you looked around you, you'd see a lot of toms." Already speaking with someone else was improving her mood and returning it to her early joy.

Merton's face went a little slack. . the pretty female remembered his name??? Wait. .had he told her his name? didn't matter. . she knew his name & she talked to him!!! This was epic. . the wild little tom turned to share his joy with Tommy & came up painfully short one best friend. His eyes grew big & sad. . not only did he not have Tommy, whose absence hurt painfully, but he couldn't for the life of him remember the lovely queen's name. Not that he was stupid enough to admit it! He would be the first to admit that he didn';t know what made females tick-honestly that was a large part of their charm, but he figured they didn't like to be forgotten. He tried to speak, in his head it sounded very debonair: "Hello beautiful one, perchance, have you seen my companion Thomas?" All said while kissing her paw. In reality it came out more as "Urk fluggle, Tommy??"

Electra watched the tom's facial reaction, first seeing the joy and then it transforming into the sadness and her eyes dropped a little. She never enjoying seeing that kind of look on another cat's face, especially a cat in the 'Yard. Silently the dark queen wondered why it had been the change but she didn't want to pry either, it didn't usually go over so well.
At his garbled speech, the dark queen blinked a few time, trying in vain to figure out what he'd said. But unfortunately she couldn't quite figure it out. "Sorry, I didn't quite catch that."

Lost in his fantasy of being a debonair ladies' tom, Merton didn't register that she was speaking again then still slightly dazed. . he smiled at her & said, "I could listen to you forever lovely one. ." Then he jumped, startled at the sound of his own voice. . had he said that out loud. .yes he had. He closed his eyes tightly. . then slowly opened one eye to look at the queen. well, she hadn't shrieked or hit him with something yet. His agile, if befuddled & erratic brain jumped ot the obvious conclusion, She must be in love with him!!! This was so exciting! His beautiful dark gorgeous princess. . a GBP (gothic Brittish princess) if you would, She was looking at him & talking to him without hostility or violence. This was a new experience. . he stopped, What should he do now? This was the part Tommy was an expert on. Where the Cat was Tommy?? he mentally shrieked. Merton opened both eyes to gaze longingly at Electra's beauty. "Gurgle. pretty . . seen have Tommy?" he inquired brightly. Again flashing his gorgeous white smile at her.

Confusion remained on her face, although now surprise mixed into Lecky's expression most other didn't compliment her on her voice. In fact she knew that most of the other queens had nicer and prettier voices than she did. This was definitely out of the ordinary for Electra and she was having trouble figuring out how to respond, none of this was part of her typical interaction in or out of the Junkyard. It was always the other queens that were called the lovely ones.
"Tommy?" She repeated, trying to remember what Tommy looked like, but she came up short and shook her head, "No sorry I haven't, I was at the tire mostly so I haven't really been around the Yard today." Well at least not while the other cats who lived there were awake. She had enjoyed the walk before the chaos of the Yard started.

When Merton realized the dark beautiful gothic princess hadn't met Tommy, at first he was disappointed, becuase if she'd met him she could tell him where to find him. . then he realized. She'd Never Met Tommy! That must be why she remembered/liked himself! A wave of elation crashed over him & he turned to tell Tommy the good news. .then disappointment crawled on it's belly & laid before him. .What if she took one look at Tommy & (like many other female) fell for his best friend-then he'd be back, doomed-terminally friendzoned forever! . . then again, maaybee . The erratic tom sat there making imaginary check marks in the air, his lips moving, but no sound coming out as he talked mentally to himself, his head bouncing from despondent to wildly happy, as the confused little tom tried to figure out whether introducing his latest crush to his best friend would be a good thing or a bad thing, almost completely forgetting the object of his latest desire, while he focused on the 'Tommy Equation'..

Once again Lecky watched the emotions switch between joy to disappointment, then back to joy again. It was starting to get hard for the dark queen to keep up with his expressed emotions, especially since he hadn't said anything and there didn't seem to be a logical reason for the quick fluctuations. She hesitantly reached a paw out to touch his shoulder, but as he started to make marks in the air and drew the arm back and took a small step away. Electra was very unsure of what was going on with Merton. The only other cat she really knew who ran through emotions so erratically was Cettie, but the lighter queen was usually rambling on about what was running through her head. Merton wasn't. Which just left her standing there confused. "Uh, Merton?"

Merton's eyes popped wide at Electra's words. His brain frantically realized she'd been watching him this whole time. Flustered he tried to stand & speak at the same time & . .failed. Tripping halfway up & falling head over heels in a graceless sprawl, he landed at her feet. "yes?" he managed, biting his tongue, so it came out more as 'yeth?' What can I do for you milady? sounded in his head, but it came out a little garbled-more as- "Can I do it for you?"

At this point it wasn't only Merton who was flustered, but at least his silence seemed to be broken Lecky mentally conceded. Hopefully the encounter would get less confusing. Oh she really hoped so. The dark queen winced slightly as he fell, half surprised that his tumble didn't end up knocking her off of her feet as well. "Can do what for me? I didn't ..." She trailed off with a perplex look on her face. Well apparently adding dialogue wasn't going to help Electra's confusion.

With a huge effort, Merton tried to pull himself together, but it was an extremely difficult prospect without Tommy's steadying influence. Painfully, The black-maned tom climbed to his feet. Turning, he looked admiringly at the lovely queen. He was pleasantly surprised that she hadn't reacted badly to his erratic ways. His eyes lighting up, he managed another brilliant smile. Shyly, he spoke to her. "Hi, umm, yeah. It's nice to see you. Do. . do you . .can you. . umm. . would you mind, telling me a bit more about the yard? I need to find out where Tommy might have gone."

((Enter Tommy. XD))
With a confident stride to his step, the tom walked tall through the junkyard. He was still lost, and he inwardly frowned at that thought. He should have asked where the big clearing was. His confident steps didn't falter, but he did gaze about wondering where to go from there. His nose twitched and sniffing the air, he instantly knew the scent as Merton's. It was a smell he was most familiar with. Following it, he soon found his buddy, with a queen. Before the queen could look up at him, he motioned between Merton and the queen, wondering if the two were an item yet. With that same paw he acted as though he were itching his head. "Merton, buddy. Been looking all over for you. Hey." He spoke to Electra, a smirk on his face,"Names Tommy. It's nice to meet you." He wondered if it was going well, but with Merton's track record with queens, Tommy suspected he might need to help his friend along.

Having left the Jellicle leader and Victoria alone with whatever "weird vibes" (as Alyssa expressed it) were going on there, Aly decided the only thing that made sense was to follow Tommy and meet this Merton person he kept talking about. "Hey, Tommy, wait up!" she hollered, skidding to a stop near the three cats. "Hi," she said to the group in general, then waited to see if Tommy and Merton were going to have some big reunion thing.

Merton was lost in Electra's eyes. . mmm she was so pretty, he mused, again losing his train of thought. With his luck, she probably already had a stalwart tom as a mate, but a guy could dream right? Casting about in his erratic mind for a way to impress the little queen, he settled on his favorite topic, Tommy. "I bet you're wondering how we came to the yard huh? Well, it was wild I tell you! There was this secret lab & horrible experiments major explosions, ROUSs plus a lot more, but I wasn't scared, you see I knew my buddy, Tommy had my back. . " Puncutating his story with a lot of gestures, he started to wax eloquently (and mostly truthfully) about their experience. Going on rather entertainingly in that vein for several minutes he completely missed Alyssa & Tommy's entrance to the conversation. Winding down finally, he gestured towards his buddy, "And then Tommy & I got separated. .oh hey Tommy." Suddenly he stopped short--a joyful shout bursting from his lips as he flung himself into Tommy's arms. "TOMMY!!!" he shouted. "You're not dead!!!"
