Stitch is MINE!

What did I tell you Jenny? Who ended up with Stitch?

Thanks to all of the Bandits who made this possible: Gecko, Worm, Cowboy, Stu, Damian, and others... along with the Flooders: Gammonds and Yuill, and of course we have Shem. Shem was gracious enough to keep his wench in line through the whole fiasco. Oh, and thanks to Huizenga for providing pictures.

The story goes a little something like this.

Sam and I went up to ELH2 in search of Lisl. We found her in her room. Lisl stepped out of the room in search of Jenny for a moment and I asked Sam if he knew where Stitch might be. He said he thought he might and about then Lisl and Jenny came into the room and we shut up. We chatted for a while as Jenny sat on her bed... and then came the unmistakable shrill shouting of Stitch from Jenny's area of the room. Heads swiveled in her direction as she gave a big goofy grin and the noise repeated.

"Jenny, you know I could take that Stitch right now," I intoned, moving menacingly towards her bed. Lisl lept unto Jenny's bed and interposed herself between Jenny and I. I stepped back and mused that it would be great if Gecko was there, because he could help. We then chatted for 2 or 3 minutes on how great it would be if Gecko would show up. Jenny warned me not to get my hopes up because, to her knowledge, Gecko had never even been up there. And then who should show up but Worm and Cowboy?

I flagged them down and into Jenny and Lisl's room, tossing the Judge to Cowboy. I informed Worm of our situation and we proceeded to jump unto Jenny's bed along with Lisl and Jenny and try to reach to the back of the bed to where the sounds of Stitch had been coming from. A giant grapple ensued wherein I lost my hat, Sam joined in, and Cowboy stood at the door and watched. Five minutes l later, Worm had Stitch, I was holding Jenny back, another ELH-2 girl had joined in and was attempting to get to Worm, and Sam had Lisl. Worm pretended to toss Stitch out the window but secreted the doll into his jacket. Everyone bought this and we all ran out the door, save Cowboy and one or two others. Reaching the ground, we found Stitch not present.

Upon returning to ELH-2 I got my hat back but the Judge had gone missing. We talked for about 5 minutes, during which time Worm made known furtively to Cowboy and I that he had Stitch and we told the girls that Stitch had already been returned to 1B. Lisl and Sam sat talking in the room, the rest of us moved out into the hall. All of a sudden Sam got up and went into the bathroom, coming out of the adjoining room, Judge in hand. He handed the Judge to Cowboy, who took it and ran. Worm and I took this oppurtunity to leave.

Back on the floor we congratulated each other, I locked the Judge in my room and we hid Stitch elsewhere. Within 5 minutes, 5 girls from ELH-2 stormed 1B: Rose, Cynthia, Anna, Jenny and Lisl. They tried to find their lost possession or the Judge and once they failed that, tried to take something as collateral. They were thwarted at every turn, returning to ELH-2 with a stolen paperweight of Stu's and Gecko. Gecko was a willing prisoner and we figured he'd appreciate it, so we didn't really worry there. As far as the paperweight was concerned, Stu resolved to fix that problem himself.

In the end, we got Gecko back sans pants and Stu got his paperweight back. Victory for all...
