*Lindaru*
Lindaru checked over her shopping list. She needed some glowing items, some buttons, some follower birthdays and yes - a bag of  M&M's. She picked up her cloth bag and  exited the Temple. She went around the corner to Neil's shop. Darn! Not open for another five minutes! She looked down at the ground where she saw something strange. "What's a fragment of a Suit tie doing here?" A wave of horror passed over her as she peered into the window where Booji tee shirts were on display. "Neil! Neil!" She was met with silence. She ran back to the Temple to call the other followers at once. Some dirty Suit had kidnapped Neil!
 
*Gaidheil*
So Lindaru calls in The Booji Militia! Suit up, kids! Oops, I said suit, didn't I? I meant gear up. Yeah, that's the ticket. Move 'em out! Hut two three four. Hut two three four. Halt! Here we are, kids. The Dutch Suit Regime. I need reconnaisance! Now! Garibaldi, you're up! Find out where they're holding Neil.
 
*Garibaldi*

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

BANG!!!!
 
*Mr Morden*
Morden giggled at the episode of Mystery Science Theatre 3,000 she was watching. One of her Associates lunged into view and at the tv, turning it off. "What are you doing?" she snapped.
"There's something going on. The militia is running around like chickens with their heads cut off, and Lindaru is panicked. Go to the temple and find out what's going on."
Morden thought for a moment, then grabbed her jacket and headed out the door.
 
*Lindaru*
Lindaru was relieved to see Morden and her associates arrive at the Temple. The Shadow babies were being fed lunch by the Llort, so she ushered Morden into the library. "The basement is buzzing with activity - we have the militia group making preparations down there because--" Lindaru swallowed hard and whispered, "The Suits have kidnapped Neil! Right from his shop!"
 
*Reebo*
Hey! Those are MY army boots!!! What are you doing with them? We need to work on the organizational skills here, HELLO? Where am suposed to be? Upstairs? Why? Oh, right debrefing, be right there.
It was so hectake in the basement, you may have noticed. I had never beenn with the malita on such a major assighnment before. Well really nobody has been captured before. Right, I'm going upstairs can't talk now.
 
*Gwyn*
"OK, peoples, time for organization!" Gwyn declared as she rushed inside the Temple. "Sorry to be late!"
"Militia, listen up, and quit bickering! Give him back his boots! Now, everyone needs to get a suit trap and a PPG from Lindaru. Garibaldi and his team are out searching for Neil. Once they locate him, it will be up to you to get him out. Cheif Jones and Sarge will be your commanding officers- I believe they have the most combat experience." "Bailin, we're going to need moral support. Could you organise a team to keep coffee, tea, snacks, and caseroles available at all times? We're all very worried about Neil, and we don't want the vigil keepers to get malnourished." "Now, some thing we have overlooked is Neil's shop. I don't think it's safe to leave it unattended. The Suits might come back and leave a ransom note, or some one might try and break in. We need volunters to stay at the shop. We can go in six hour shifts. I'll take the first. Any more volunteers?"

*Wonko*
I'll voulenteer for the moral support part. Not only do I offer physical refreshments, but I can keep everybody's mind in the proper state of disorder necessary at a time like this.

*Neil*
It was dark, to dark...he had been blindfolded, voices were mumbling somewhere behind him, his head was still hurting from the blow, and the voices were faint...
What had happened? He got hit on the back of the head, that he could feel, and remeber....but by whom?? All he had been doing was cleaning the aisles when there was a sound, a blow, (some dancing stars) and darkness....
The voices got clearer "He loo.. .ike ... .. us now" they came closer... "Yeah, those green dotted jackets, and bright yellow ties go great together"
What did they mean? Could they be...It Couldn't, They wouldn't!!!
Someone untied the blindfold... The brightness of the light blinded him for a while. When he got his sight back he saw a suit standing in front of him
"Do you like it? DO YOU?!?!?!"
He didn't dare to look.....as he finally gathered the courage he looked at himself.... And Terror came over him!!.... ...They had dressed him in a..... SUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was to much... his conscious slipped away...... darkness again.......

*Lindaru*
"I volunteer to go watch Neil's store on the second shift," Lindaru agreed.
The catering truck pulled up outside and the caterers brought in cart after cart of coffee pots, tea, Nabisco snacks and a variety of casseroles and pizza. Lindaru showed them the way to the kitchen. She was jingling through her key ring, looking for her copy of the key to Neil's store when she noticed under the white chef hat and white catering apron . . . a Daffy Duck tie?
Before she could react, the supposed caterer disappeared towards the basement stairs and was headed right for . . . Reebo!

*Kat (dogdoc)*
Heeding Gwyn's request for support staff, and knowing where her strengths lie, Kat showed up with fresh batches of brownies, a loverly casserole, Earl Grey tea, and a 5 pound bag of M&M's just in time to seen the caterer/suit escape carrying Reebo over his shoulder.

*Bailin*
Bailin, remembering the daring raid that she, Lindaru and Reebo had made several months earlier, had gone to pick up several other food items she thought might come in handy. After all, the Hershey's golden nuggets had done the trick before. If you've seen one suit, you've seen them all. None can pass up a gold nugget, the greedy buggers. She would make sure that Lindaru had some of these to take to Neil's shop
in case the suits did show up there. When Bailin returned with the nuggets, granola bars and Fappuccinos, she found Kat screaming, "They took Reebo. Those rotton suits took Reebo." Oh, no, first Neil and now Reebo. What was going on??????????

*Mr Morden*
Morden promptly took her Associates to the Neil's shop to look for anything that might be helpful.
Her Associates began chattering. "Perfect timing," Morden frowned, "the minute I walk out the door, something else happens." They rushed back to the temple. "What's going on?" she asked Bailin.
"A suit snuck in and took Reebo too."
Morden turned to her Associates sharply. She was to anxious a person to help around the temple. Something wasn't right. "<show yourselves>" she told her Associates. They did.
2... 4... 5... there should be six. She was supposed to have six with her. One of her Associates was missing.

*Lindaru*
Lindaru snapped the comm device off and informed the computer to not disturb her unless one of the followers called. She had enlisted the help of all the remaining 70 followers. She started to leave her
quarters when she "felt" rather than "heard" a voice . . . *Morden . . . help me! They have me in a containment field of some kind!* Linda sensed that it was coming from the court yard.
She dashed out to the court yard and saw something snapping and popping in a large cubed shape but the cube itself was invisible. If she stared long enough, she could just make out the shape of a Shadow.
Lindaru hoped that Morden had not yet left the Temple. She ran right smack into Bailin as she rounded the corner to the kitchen. Golden Hershey nuggets flew everywhere. "Bailin! Thank Booji you are
here! It appears that one of Morden's Associates has been trapped in a containment field outside of the hotel in the court yard . . . if they can trap one of her Associates . . . what can they do to the rest of us?"

*Bailin*
Bailin faced Lindaru with a bewildered look on her face, and in a somewhat frightened tone said, "I don't know. It seems like the suits know our every move, like they are everywhere; all around us. No sooner had the words left Bailin's mouth, when bodies wearing green suits with yellow ties appeared to come out of the woodwork. "Oh, Booji, help us," prayed Lindaru and Bailin, as it looked like they, too, would be
captured. But no, the suits did not seem interested in them at all. They were scrambling about the floor, fighting amongst themselves over the golden nuggets that had scattered everywhere when Lindaru bumped into Bailin. Quickly assessing the situation, Lindaru said, "Bless you, Booji, and you, too, Bailin for remembering to get golden nuggets. This may be the break we have been looking for." And with that, she
turned on her comm device and said into it, "Followers, listen up.................

*Lindaru*
"I need you to bring as many shiny small items as you can to the kitchen area! Shiny coins and foil wrapped candies! Anything! We are going to create a trail to lead these suits into the fountain. Also round up as many empty Frappuccino bottles as you can find because after we get them into the fountain in the court yard, we are going to bonk them on the head and drown them!" Lindaru was sure that none of the scrounging Suits could hear her because she whispered the command while making sure that the signal was turned up loud enough to be at a shouting level if you were on the receiving end. "Lindaru out!" She took hold of Bailin's arm and led her back into the doorway of the kitchen. The Suits continued to scramble
for the Hershey nuggets and a few of them even started to fight each other over a single nugget! "I guess we will have to start the trail from here." Lindaru reached into one of the drawers and pulled out some shiny foil wrapped Easter Eggs and Santa Claus candies. She handed a bunch to Bailin.

*Gwyn*
Gwyn was refilling coffee cups when Lindaru's message came through, blaring out of the sound system speakers. Organized mayhem soon ensued, under the capable control of gaidheil, who had been elected Operations Manager. She had manged to get the Militia under control, and they began to mobilize with surprsing efficiency. Groups of followers rushed around collecting shiny objects while others raided the
pantry and recylcing bins for Fappaccino bottles. A small team was elected to stay behind and guard the temple, and they had just waved off the small army when Jaybee came rushing in. She had been on watch at Neil's shop.
"Gwyn, everybody! Look what I found!" She held up a ransome note, with a picture of Neil dressed in a hideuos suit, a look of sheer terror on his face. "It's from the Suits, and just look what they've done to Neil!" she cried, and began to read.
 
*Jaybee*
"TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.........

IT HAS COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT CERTAIN MEMBERS OF A
CERTAIN BOOGIE, NO, BOOBIE, NO, BULLY, NO......OH, WHATEVER! A
CERTAIN CULT IS TRYING TO SET UP THEIR OWN DOMAIN WITHOUT
OUR INTERFEREN.....I MEAN GUIDANCE.

THIS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!!!

WE HAVE YOUR SHOPKEEPER. WE ALSO HAVE THIS OTHER
INDIVIDUAL WHO KEEPS GOING ON ABOUT ZOOT, ZOOT, ZOOTY!

CEASE AND DESIST ALL EFFORTS TO SPREAD THE WORD OF YOUR
BUCKET-WEARING GOD OR WE WILL BE FORCED TO DO SOMETHING
DRASTIC! IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE SHOPKEEPER AND REEBO AGAIN
THEN THE TEMPLES MUST BE DISMANTLED IN 5 DAYS! WE HAVE
SPOKEN!

THE SUITS"

jaybee dropped the letter to the ground. "what are we going to do now? how is chocolate possibly going to save neil and reebo?" a hush came over the gathered group. these were truly desparate times.

*Lindaru *
Lindaru and Bailin continued to silently drop Easter and Christmas candies out into the hallway and through kitchen. Slowly they passed the recycling room as the Suits started catching up to them. Just then, Bailin had a fabulous idea. "Bo knows a lot about electricity . . . perhaps there is something we can use with the foil and the water to electrocute them!" Bailin contacted Bo via comm and he suggested using the electricity from the containment field that the Associate was in along with the foil from some of the wrappers and the water from the fountain which would be quicker than bonking them on the head with
frappuccino bottles. Bailin and Lindaru hurriedly unwrapped some of the candies and made a long rope of the foil wrappers by twisting them together. They were to lay one end of it at the containment field in
front of the hotel and when the Suits went to retrieve it, one of them would turn the water up on the fountains high enough to spray the Suits.
Lindaru and Bailin made it out to the containment field and laid down their rope. The Associate seemed to know what they were up to because he was quiet. Bailin darted back into the Temple to get to the control
room to pull the switch at the right moment. When Lindaru saw the Suits coming straight for her, she started to jump out of the way but - ouch! She had stumbled over part of the rock sidewalk and fell!
 

Will Neil survive his suit trauma? What do they want with Reebo? Will the Temples be dismantled? Will Lindaru be alright?
