(( Um, is anyone ever going to respond? Amanda, you there? Heh... ))

[Hugh]

((I smell godmoding! *pokes Krista with a stick* No saying what another character you don't play does! *pokes more* But since it was little I'll let it slide. *puts away spiked club and grins innocently*))

Hugh lifted a hand and waved it when Cindy greeted him. "'Ey there, li'l Miss Vortex!" he responded with a wide smile.

The conversation between the two kids beginning to grow, his attention wandered to the window for a while, since he usually had no interest in what the younger generation liked to talk about. However, at Jimmy's last words, he piped up to make another uninvited suggestion.

"You two could work together and find out more about all this strange stuff that's happening all over Retroville," he commented. "You're the two smartest kids in town, am I right? So, go get 'em!" He paused and then frowned and spoke with a strange seriousness that seemed sudden and unusual, since his tone previously had been so joviant and loud, like it usually was. "Seriously, kids. This could get bad if you don't do anything about it."

(( Ehehehe? Woops? Sorry, I forgot about godmoding. I'll be sure not to do it again. ))

Jimmy, hearing his father's suggestion, furrowed his eyebrows in concentration. Pushing the nearly empty milkshake cup away from himself, he toyed with his fingers for a couple clock ticks. "Me? Working with Vortex?" he scoffed, "I'd rather attempt to dunk a cat in a lake and then hug it. That's like asking death to come and visit your front door."

[Hugh]

((Bweeheehee, that's alright!))

"Jim, that's rude," sighed the man. "I mean, if you two don't want to work on this weird thingy together, you don't have to, but wouldn't it go faster with two brains working on it instead of one, no matter how large it may be?"

He paused to let his words sink in--even if he was a little hollow-minded, Hugh had basic common sense, at least, even if that also seemed absent sometimes.

Adjusting his glasses and glancing out the window again, he went on. "Y'can't let your li'l... tiffs get in the way of what's the best thing for the town," he pointed out. "You have to admit randomly occuring amnesia's weird, and it might even be dangerous, now that I really think about it."

Jimmy backs up and does a double take at his father, genuinely surprised at the other Neutron's responce. "Dad... you actually, well, made sense," Jimmy started, then mumbled under his breath, "astounding..." Shakind his head, Jimmy tapped his chin while thinking. "Well, I suppose you're right. It would be better for Retroville and probably much faster. Even if it means working with..." he paused for a brief moment, "Vortex."

Can I join? Pwease? I wanna be Libby! :D

[Hugh]

((Sure you can, so long as you make your roleplay paragraph style!))

Cindy was glad that Jimmy came around but wasb't too happy that he didn't like the idea much. " If we're gonna do this right then we have to quit fighting." She looks down and sighs. "I'm sorry Jimmy." Cindy holds her hand out and in her sweetest and most sincere voice. "Truce?"

[JimmySpaz]

((Don't worry Hugh! I'll be good o:) ))

Just then, the Candy Bar's front door opened on a dark haired girl listening to her iPod, Libby Folfax danced into the room humming to the hip-hop song she was listing to intently. She looked over to her friends and she breezed over to see what they were up to. Looking for some fun she asked, "What's up guys?"


((Good?))

[Ang]

((Awesome Kim!))

[Hugh]

((Very good! *pets and gives a cookie*))

In response to Jimmy's shocked comment, Hugh simply gave him another wide smile. "'Course I did, son!"

As he continued to listen to the genius's mutterings and heard Cindy's offer for peace, a brow arched and he gave the boy a look over the tops of his spectacles that very clearly said, 'accept or you're grounded for a year'. Jimmy wanted the best for the town--he always did, and the man knew that. The thing was, though, that sometimes his frustration with Cindy got in the way. Hugh'd have to make sure that didn't happen this time. Even if he didn't seem worried and acted like the epidemic of amnesia was nothing serious, he knew it had to be. Anyone would have to be aware of the utter strangeness of the situation.

His brown eyes were diverted away from the two teens, though, when the doors opened and Libby made her entrance. He wasn't very acquainted with her, since she was more of Cindy's friend than Jimmy's, but he at least knew her name. Nonetheless, his greeting consisted of nothing but a little wave and a smile.

[JimmySpaz]

((Thanks guys! This is my 1st para-rp so I don't wanna mess it up!))

Libby slid the tiny white ear buds out and paused her song to greet her friend's waving father, "Hey, Mr. N!" She smiled at the young genius' quirky father. She stands next to her best friend, Cindy Vortex, wondering what they are arguing about now.

[Ang]

((I'm waitin for Krista to reply if thats ok Hugh!))

(( Sorry about that! I was until school serving Friday Night Academy (detention that is a mind-numbing three hours). By the time I got back from FNA I was exhausted, even though I did absolutely nothing during those couple of boring hours. XD ))

Jimmy was extremely startled by Cindy's hand (not to mention his father's unexpected glare that followed), so he sucked up his pride and shook hands with Cindy. "Truce," he agreed. The light tinkering of a bell sounded over the door, he peered up just in time to see Libby waltzing in with iPod in hand. Lifting his eyebrows when Libby greeted his father, he waved his hand. "It's nice to see you around... Libby?" his gesture of kindess went only so far, due to Jimmy not really knowing Libby all that well.

[Lily Knotwise]

((I would LOVE to join this, and it sounds awesome so far, but I'm so busy... I'll either sit back and wait for the next RP, or I'll join in late... In any case, I won't be able to join for another week or two... T_T But keep up the good work guys and hopefully I'll be able to join you soon! ^^ ))

[Ang]

Cindy was glad Jimmy and her had a truce. "Ok, So when should we start, Jimmy?" Cindy was curious to know. Not to mention she actually used his name. She also noticed Libby. "Oh hey Libbs. Whatcha up to?"

[JimmySpaz]

Libby stuck her iPod in her pocket and smiled, "Not much, I was wonderin if you guys wanted to do somethin. My mom said it's a nice day and I should be outside, so I decided that I might as well see what you guys were up to."

[Hugh]

((Krista: Three hour detention? Well, that doesn't sound very fun.
Lily: Feel free to join whenever you want! I'm trying to keep this topic as dynamic as possible so anyone can join whenever it's convenient for them, even when the plot actually gets going.))

The usual, goofy grin returned to Hugh's features as Jimmy accepted Cindy's offer for peace--finally, after all these years. It was probably only going to end up temporary, though, knowing those two.

When Libby spoke, Hugh took it upon himself to answer her. "Oh, they were about to go investigate all that strange stuff happening around town and probably end up saving the world again! Right, kids?" He beamed at them.

[JimmySpaz]

"Huh?" Libby asked, wondering what kind weird things were going on besides the fact that Jimmy and Cindy had kept their truce for more than a few seconds. "What kinda 'strange stuff'?" she asked leaning on the table.

[cancel_me]

Jimmy stood up from his seat and brushed his shirt wrinkle-free. "According to my father," he started, peering at Libby to give a decent explanation, "strange blackouts are occuring at random times. People get amnesia for a couple hours, then recieve their memory only to find out that they can't remember what happened to them those few hours they had amnesia." Jimmy cleared his throat and looked over at Cindy. "I'd say we might as well start right away. The sooner we find the cause, the more time we have to find the actual solution. So when are you free?"
