Previous Post A pair of grubby hands deftly pilfered a plate of pad-thai from the buffet unnoticed by anyone. “Alright!” Griffin exclaimed to his sister, both of them hidden under the table. “What is this do you think?” “It looks like Asian noodles." Magweed screwed up her nose, "I still don’t understand why you wanted us to hide out under here." “So we can spy on the folks silly.” Griffin said to his sister. “It’s more than likely that someone or other will try to ruin this party.” Magweed parted the two table cloths that concealed her and her brother under the table slightly and peered through the opening. “Everything looks peaceful enough,” she said. “Well except for what the Bonsai Kittens are doing to CrazySugarFreakBoy.” Her brother crawled over and peered through over her shoulder. “Who is that girl over there in the corner?” Magweed asked. “Where?” Griffin replied, craning his neck to see. “The one in all black.” “I don’t see anyone?” “What do you mean you –“ But Magweed was cut off from questioning her brother further as a loud “crash” occurred – someone had dunked ManMan into the punch bowl! To be continued???

"Well, there goes the punch" Yuki noted. "Sooner than I would have guessed."

"Cobra's in a mood" Banjooooo informed her, munching on some Swedish meatballs. "Not that she isn't always, but still... ManMan should have listened to Knifie and not pushed his luck."

"Wow... she's really good with that plunger" the cyborg Legionnaire observed with admiration. "She gets her whole body into the action."

"Dedication" the Sea Monkey agreed.

"So..." Yuki said, watching him out of the corner of her eye. "You wouldn't happen to know why the government bigwigs spent all afternoon meeting with Mumphrey, Hatman and Visionary, would you?"

Banjoooo choked, and needed to use his newly formed meatball swallowing superpower before he could answer. "Ah... did they?"

The private detective Legionnaire smiled. "Yep. And I noticed you, and Donar, and some other current and former heads-of-state types showed up for it as well."

"We're just here for the party."

Yuki nodded. "Yes... I'm sure that's it." She turned back towards the buffet table. "Should somebody help Manny? That plunger seems pretty firmly affixed to the back of his head."

"Hmmmm..." Banjooooo considered it. "I suppose we should have Elsqueevio part the punch" he decided. "And maybe ask Ruby if Mr. Lye is able to get cranberry stains out of sequined jumpsuit."
