((Sure!!))
Alonzo sighed. His brother's reasoning did make sense. It would doubtless take an actual hench threat or attack for their uncle to even consider moving to the Junkyard. But surely, he told himself, trying to shake such gloomy thoughts, the henches wouldn't bother with him. Not as if he's any sort of interference to...whatever it is Macavity actually wants to do... This only reminded him that the Jellicles still couldn't predict Macavity's movements because there was too much unknown. He resolved to abandon this line of thought altogether, it was doing no good.
"That sounds like uncle, all right," Alonzo agreed. "You're probably ri-- Victoria?" he echoed, stopping abruptly as if afraid he'd literally bump into his sister. "Are you sure?"

Nodding, the black tux looked somewhat smug as the white queen came around the corner looking semi-surprised to see them together. "Positive." He grinned, motioning to Victoria.
(Victoria)
Unlike her brothers, Victoria had no black markings on her what-so-ever. Her pristine white fur was contrasted against the array of tabby and calico patterns that made up the majority of the junkyard. The petite white queen cocked an eyebrow as she neared her two brothers, placing her hands on her hips. "Why do I get the feeling you two have been talking about me?" She asked, pink lips pulling back into a small smile. "Just because I don't live here doesn't mean you two can blabber on about me whenever you like. I do visit, you know." As of lately though, Victoria was making her visits more frequent.
Pushing herself so that she stood happily between Alonzo and Misto, she linked her arms with theirs, green eyes glancing back and forth between them. "It has been a while since all three of us have been together. You two look like you're on some sort of mission. Such serious faces." She mock pouted before giggling brightly.
(Mistoffelees)
Misto allowed her to take his arm, his brown eyes examining her facial features. Because he was shorter than most toms, Misto and Victoria were practically eye level. "I wouldn't exactly call it a mission, we're just heading to the square to see if Munkustrap has returned with any news." He said. Since he didn't know as many details as Alonzo, the tux left it at that. He didn't know if Victoria would be curious to know their reasoning for seeking the silver tabby out, or if she'd just assume it had something to do with Alonzo's position.

"Hello, Victoria," Alonzo greeted, trying to overcome his surprise at her sudden appearance. "No we..." he began, about to protest her claim that they'd been talking about her. But he trailed off guiltily, realizing that would not be true - they had, in fact, been talking about her. "We were only wondering what you've been doing lately," he amended, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible. "That's all." Now that she was here, Alonzo felt relieved that he wouldn't have to go out searching for her. Of course, if she planned to make this a short visit, he'd have to caution her before she left...or better yet, convince her to stay until the danger was definitely past...
Bringing himself back to the conversation at paw, he nodded in agreement with Mistoffelees. "Yes, Munkustrap and some others went out on a rescue, and I need to see what they accomplished or found out." No point trying to hide much from these two, he resigned himself. And after all, if the group had returned as he expected, everyone would soon know everything in any case.

(Victoria)
The white queen smiled, shrugging her shoulders quickly. ”Oh, I’ve not been up to much. Just here and there – nothing specific. ” She knew that if she gave her brothers the details as to her nightly outings, they wouldn’t approve. What she was up to wasn’t exactly what many would consider appropriate for a “well to do” queen such as herself. Still, Victoria knew she could take care of herself, and really didn’t want her brothers worrying about her, or following her for that matter.
”A rescue? Oh, that sounds intense.” Her brows scrunched in concern and her dainty fingers curled tighter around Alonzo’s arm, pulling the larger tom towards her subconsciously. ”How you and Munku deal with those sorts of things on a daily basis I’ll never understand. Sure, I know someone has to, but it just seems awfully stressful to me.” Her feathery white tail twirled idly behind her as she shook her head with a sigh.
Glancing over at Misto, she nudged him slightly. ”What about you, Sparkles? I never knew you to help with these sorts of matters.” Though, as she went silent, she began to wonder if she knew he brothers as well as she thought she did.
(Mistoffelees)
Sparkles. Of course she’d still use that nick name. It wasn’t his favorite, but, the magician didn’t say anything.
”Typically, I’m not. I just happened to run into Alonzo and decided to see if I could lend a hand should they need it,” he answered truthfully. ”If they don’t need me, fine. I just Munkustrap to know that I am willing to help should they ever need it.” He shrugged, his white face void of emotion as he spoke. It was rather matter of fact – he wasn’t an overly expressive tom.
”Don’t worry. Munku hasn’t recruited me or anything. I have no desire to step on our brother’s toes.”

Alonzo let out a slight "hmm" sound when Victoria vaguely answered that she'd "not been up to much." Most likely she'd been up to plenty and wasn't interested in sharing. However, Alonzo opted not to question her further, thinking she'd only resent it. If he didn't pry into her business too much, perhaps she'd be inclined to stay longer, which would mean he could keep a closer eye on her. "It is stressful," he acknowledged, moving onto her next words, "but... Well, if it means keeping the 'yard safer, it's worth it." He glanced at his brother, grateful that he was willing to help but embarrassed that he kept having to point out he wasn't trying to take over Alonzo's job. "It wouldn't be 'stepping on my toes,' Misto," he protested. "Believe me, any help is appreciated, and there may well come a time when your particular abilities are a lifesaver." He flattened his ears slightly, hoping that didn't sound too silly, or even condescending. Last thing he wanted was to cause anyone offense just when the three siblings were spending time together for the first time in a while. True, it was too bad it had to be right during a semi-crisis, but at least they were all talking to one another, whatever the circumstances.

Misto glanced up at his brother and raised an eyebrow. ”I know you wouldn’t care if I worked with you guys, Lonz’, I was just being cheeky.” He said, smirking slightly. He hadn’t meant for Alonzo to take the whole “stepping on toes” comment seriously. ”But, as said, I have no desire to do what you do full time. That is all you.”
He slipped his arm out of Victoria’s grasp, feeling somewhat “trapped” when she held on tight. He wasn’t big into touching for long period of time, and thankfully, Victoria seemed to not notice.
(Victoria)
Part of Victoria felt as if Alonzo’s job was boring. It had to be, right? Most of the time, nothing happened around the junkyard, and when something did, she figured it made things a little more exciting. Granted, she knew they didn’t purposefully wish for anyone to get hurt, stolen, etc, but it had to make the day go by faster, right? Never the less, she kept her opinion to herself.
Truthfully, Alonzo probably turned out better than herself and Misto. He seemed to be the only semi-normal one out of the three. Here she was, rebelling against their uncle and making a name for herself around town, and then there was Misto and his magic. Heavyside only knew what went on in his head.
”Come on now, boys. Stop with all the seriousness. I don’t think I’ve seen either of you really smile in a long time!” The white queen turned and walked gracefully backwards and pointed to her lips as she smiled. ”See, it isn’t that hard.”
(Do you want to move them to the other thread, or keep them here for now? If we leave them here, I say we stir up some drama!)

A slight smile automatically spread across Alonzo's face, amused by his sister's antics. "She has a point, Misto...How's this, Vicki?" He guessed his and Misto's conversation would seem a bit of a downer to Victoria, who wasn't necessarily accustomed to worrying quite so much. Well, come to that, Misto was probably only so serious because he'd caught onto Alonzo's mood, the patched tom thought, annoyed with himself. But he couldn't exactly put these worries out of his mind completely, not at the moment when there was a possibility his fellow tribe-members were injured or in danger.
Glancing up, he noticed they'd nearly reached the front gates of the 'yard. Quite a large group was now assembled there, along, he noted with relief, with Munkustrap et al and what appeared to be some rescuees. "I'm going to go over there and speak to Munk, make sure everyone's all right and so on," he told his siblings. "I understand if you two'd rather do something else, but..." He looked over at the nervous-looking newcomers again. "From the looks of things a couple friendly faces might be of help here."((Got the OK to enter the Welcome Home thread ^^ So how about you post here one more time, we exit and kill this thread, then enter Welcome Home once Moon has posted? )

The white queen smirked and shrugged her shoulders. "It is getting there Lonz', but I still think you can do better." She said, obviously giving him a hard time for her own amusement. Glancing at the group of assembled cats, Victoria's ears twitched curiously, and she paused. Part of her wanted nothing to do with this sort of gathering, but the other part of her told her it would be good to follow her brother's advice and approach them. Looking over at Mistoffelees, she motioned to the small group. "Come on, if we get uncomfortable, we can leave."
(Mistoffelees)
Misto didn't need convincing. He had already told his brother that he would help, so as they finally made it to the tire, he gave Victoria and quick nod and began walking towards the group of assembled cats. Hopefully the issue was already resolved, but if not, he was willing to lend a helping hand if needed.
