Manja, proud of her success in dominating that finger, doesn't give up on her licking assault.
Sadly, she gets interrupted.
Nooo! She's getting manhandled! And there's nothing she can do!
She mews once again after being transferred to a different hand.Favorite sports:

Manja gets some gentle head strokes as Rein cradles her carefully. No need to mew, he's right here.
"Thanks again. You're a lifesaver Felandria," Reinholdt says as he starts heading for the exit.Last edited by Reinholdt; 2020-12-04 at 04:58 AM.

"Thanks. Really am lucky you're here."
Well, if you throw the lasso just right, it should cinch around the middle, right?
Except, an attempt to just lasso it is likely to fail when the orb moves just a little. It had been placidly hovering there the whole while, but as soon as a loop of string comes near, it jerks away just enough for the string to slip off, before settling back to its old location.

Re: HALO 184: Red and Grey All The Way
[leaving Simulation Room] ((posting because (1) not sure if Fel will post again in this scene, (2) giving her more to respond to if she does, (3) Manja can't really affect anything anyway, and (4) to set the scene for where this'll go next))
Manja looks back at Felandria. She feels like she has to give a goodbye meow, since (after all) she was warm and did feed her. So that definitely merits a meow as thanks.
In her father's hand, she lies down and lets her head get stroked. She already knows that she's safe with him, so she tries licking his hand a few more times, half-closes her eyes, and then starts purring.
The bedroom that Manja came from has the door slightly ajar. In the baby cradle, there's baby clothes in a pile next to the side of it. And Harley's sprawled out, still asleep on the bed.
[Off Tour]
With a lasso, the obvious problem is that it only has two points coming off.
Clearly, she needs to alter the lasso to make it have three.
(Sure, she could just grab a blanket or something and toss it over. But that would be admitting her idea couldn't work, and she' sure she can get it to work with just a few alterations.)
She makes another lasso.
And a third one.
Using small bits of string, she ties the loops of the three lassos together, essentially making three intersecting circles so that it roughly forms the shape of a triangle. She's proud of this, since that essentially turned a lasso into a harness with three 'legs' branching off.
And then, carefully, she sneaks up on the floating orb - with her tails raised - "Come to mamma," she says as she pulls the lasso-harness behind it, and then grabs the long rope-part of the lassos together. She hopes, that way, she can pull it like a balloon on a (three) string(s)Favorite sports:

A triple-lasso!
Or perhaps you would describe this as a 'small net'.
The orb is enfolded in the lassos! Caught like a balloon on three strings!
And then, when she starts to pull it closer, it also starts moving toward her under its own power.
If Lucky Charm can't reel the strings in fast enough, the orb might slip out the other end, or even run into her.

Great! It's already moving!
All she has to do is back up at the same speed or faster than it, and it'll never catch up with her. If she's moving, then there's no need to reel it towards her.
Of course, she's going to have to deal with the door when she gets there, so Lucky Charm moves all three strings to one hand.
She backs up, going towards the door, and...
...
Whoops.
She trips over one of the boxes of things that was out. One of the strings slips out of her hand, too, as she falls.Favorite sports:

Pretty good plan. If this workshop had only been cleaned up, it would have worked!
As it is, the orb slips out of the lassos when Lucky Charm trips, and while she's falling, it heads for the door!
But there's also a glimmer of sparks that dance out from it and try to catch the catgirl and soften her fall.

Lucky Charm is caught by sparks and her fall is softened.
Honestly, it wouldn't have been a huge deal. Maybe she would have hit her head. Maybe she would have a couple bruises. But that's fine. It's just some minor wounds.
It leaves Lucky Charm a little disoriented, at first, since she did just fall.
But, she notices that it's still going to the door. "Hey! You know where to go, right?" she asks, as she scrambles to get up again. She grabs the lasso-net just in case she needs it again, and goes after the orb.Favorite sports:

Lucky Charm follows it for a little, before realizing it's actually going the wrong way.
"Hey, wait!" she tells it.
She catches up with it, and even gets a little ahead.
"Wrong way." Lucky Charm ties two of the lasso ropes together, so that she can hold that part with one hand, and grabs the other with the other hand.
She places the small net in front of the orb and tries to catch it again. "You need to go this way." And then pulls towards the infirmary.Favorite sports:

Reinholdt needs a shoulder mounted camera to take all the pictures of his adorable daughter. Alas, he'll just have to settle for calm pets as he heads to Harley's room.
Once there, he knocks softly to let her know he's coming in before walking inside. He's left standing in the doorway by his surprise at what he saw. Or rather didn't see. Given there was nothing in the room. At all. It was quite bare and definitely devoid of any Harley, Carlie, or even Holly.
"... Huh?"
[Felandria's Office]
Meanwhile when Felandria gets back to her office, she'll find someone already inside, sitting in her very comfy chair! They slowly turn it around as if revealing something especially unsettling.
"Well, well, well... Good day Felandria. Well, good for me. Not for you," Magtok says, the cyborg setting in his chair a cigar that's clearly been lit too long as he waited in his mouth. He almost immediately breaks out into a cough from the smoke and puts it out.
"I'm here to warn you about the attack from Doctor Affidavit. The one that's happening in..." The glance at his wrist is purely superfluous given he doesn't wear a watch and also has an internal chronometer. "About five minutes. Not entirely coincidental, I've also decided to tender my resignation starting immediately."

Ginger Spice is still lying in the infirmary, being simultaneously too ill to get out of bed and very fed up at having to stay in bed.
But she breaks into a smile right upon noticing Marin and the orb.
"Got it! Thanks so much."

Unfortunately, Manja is enjoying this too much to be bothered when there is a bare room and a missing mother.
But, wherever Harley is, I bet she is glad that at least this time she isn't waking up handcuffed to Magtok.

Lucky Charm sits down.
"So..." she says, "did they give you any updates on how long you have to be in bedrest?" Because, to be honest, if it's going to be several days then Lucky Charm should probably either make some phone calls and plans to stay here, or make plans to leave and come back.

Bye, bye, Manja, behave for your daddy.

Felandria’s happiness to see her friend is replaced with a look of confusion and anxiety.
Well, that doesn’t sound good.
And as for your resignation, I didn’t think you had officially agreed to rejoin, but if that’s what you really want...
Guess this calls for a goodbye hug.
Felandria will go in for a hug.

Re: HALO 184: Red and Grey All The Way

Harley better not be waking up handcuffed to Magtok or there will be sooo much drama they could write a trashy romance novel about it.
At least Manja's unconcerned. Ah to be young and carefree. Certainly beats being old and carefree.
Reinholdt's first instinct is that he got the wrong room. He steps back out, looks around. Huh. Pretty sure this was it, but just in case, he tries the next room over. Which yields the same results. Well that's definitely not right! "What is going on?" He thought all these rooms at least had beds in them.
In his distraction, he stopped petting Manja, oh no!
[Felandria's Office]
Magtok raises an eyebrow. "I'm pretty sure it was you who cajoled me into joining up and- waitaminute!" Not only were they getting off track, but Felandria was actually trying to hug him?! It's even worse because he's smaller and slower than Felandria and trapped in the comfy chair so it's not only impractical to avoid the hug, it's also improbable.
So he's forced to accept the hug, though he disengages it as quickly as possible before things become icky and lingering, covered in the stench of forlorn goodbyes and sinking guilt. Best to carry on and pretend that didn't just happen, though now Magtok is standing and backing up. He doesn't expect she'll hug him again, but the risk of getting punched in the face over the next part, however unlikely, still exists. And he quite likes his face today. "Although it would be more accurate to say I resigned ten minutes ago when I destroyed your emergency escape vehicles and took your portal systems offline. It's nothing personal, I assure you. Just business."

Re: HALO 184: Red and Grey All The Way

Hey!
It only happened once.
Harley's not planning on becoming the protagonist of a trashy novel any time soon.
Manja realizes something's wrong when she suddenly stops getting pet.
She opens her eyes and looks up at her father, trying to see what's wrong. Obviously he's distressed, so there's obviously something wrong.
[Off Tour]
Lucky Charm nods: "That's good."
She opens her mouth.
She closes it again. Her ears turn.
She glances at something, then opens her mouth again: "Half of me wants to stay here until you get better, in case anything goes wrong," she says, "and another half of me wants to just hide in my closet for the rest of the week. Both of those options have downsides, and I don't really trust myself right now to clearly think through them."
Lucky Charm leans back. "So, um..." She doesn't know how she wants to end that thought.
"Well, to be honest, I'd rather not just sit around doing nothing. If you just say what you want or need, it should probably be fine." Especially if it's said without any expectation of getting it or any sort of request or something like that.Favorite sports:

"Why not go have a normal day, come back tomorrow?"
Ginger Spice suggests.
That seems way better than hiding in a closet, and it means she wont' have to constantly watch what she says to Lucky Charm. It would mean not having Lucky Charm around, but the foxgirl can probably deal with that.

That does feel like a waste. "...okay," Lucky Charm says.
She twists her hair around her finger. "We technically didn't finish our date," she says. "So when this is all over, we need to continue it, okay? Until then, you make sure to get better. And I'll...try not to think of you too much." Don't want to get an addiction, after all.Favorite sports:

The thing Ginger Spice can do to best help Lucky Charm is getting better quickly so that she doesn't have to worry.
But,
yes, it is weird.
Lucky Charm laughs.
"Guess you'll just have to spend a whole week waiting in anticipation, then."
Teasing back and forth like this is something normal that she really enjoys.
She turns and starts to walk away to go home.

If they just pretend there isn't a weird mind control thing going on for one of them, and mysterious illnesses and omens befalling the other, instead just teasing like normal people on a date who aren't really sure how things are, maybe that's the best way to get through it all.
"Hah, how 'm going to get through a week, knowing that?"
Ginger Spice settles back into the bed, telling herself that things are going to be fine.

Lucky Charm leaves HALO so that she can go back to Riverside.
After leaving the infirmary, she can't help but fall back to blaming herself for Ginger Spice's hospitalization, even just a little, and worrying about her. While she was in the infirmary, she did her best to be confident that the foxgirl would definitely get better and that everything would be alright, but she has no choice but to be just somewhat fearful that Ginger Spice felt guilty and overworked herself for her and. . .
. . . eventually she manages to break free from that thought-spiral, and only just then realizes that after spending that time in that bedroom, she accidentally grabbed some of the wrong clothes.

After the catgirl leaves the infirmary, Honeysuckle falls into being really worried.
She grew another tail and doesn't know why.
She collapsed and (according to the medical staff (she didn't mention this part to Marin)) almost died and doesn't know why.
Not to mention this whole disturbing business with the collar.
Oh no! Has Lucky Charm had Ginger Spice's hat all along? Or half her cute going-to-the-spa outfit?
That really isn't going to help with not-thinking-about-Ginger-Spice, is it?

What's really unfortunate about this is that it means Ginger Spice can't go to a spa in the meantime.
Marin, now that it is the next day and even late in the day, returns to HALO, with half a cute outfit folded in her arms.
