Thoroughly Conkissed

April 31st--May 1st

This was an demanding soap day for our esteemed Jackal. He demonstrated all of his skills: looking good in a suit, making a scene, Jackaling to save the day, and getting caught between a rock and and blond place.

Spinelli joined Alexis and Diane "in disguise" (a.k.a. fancy hair and clothes) in the courtroom at Anthony Zacchara's trial to determine if he was mentally sane or not. The dynamic lawyer lady duo was skeptical of his being there to say the least. As the the trial began, The Jackal burst from his seat and cried "Objection!", confusing all in the room.

Even Ric (Darth) Lansing couldn't stop Spinelli from going on his theatrical rant about what a danger to society Anthony Zacchara really is. Onlookers were either confused or amused by Spinelli's zeal. One person not even slightly amused was the judge, quickly ordering The Jackal be taken from room either by his own doing or with the aid of an officer. Spinelli chose to leave of his own accord rather than be hauled off to the PCPD. He then clapped Alexis on the shoulders, declaring that the judge was now ready and warmed up. Perhaps causing a distraction was his intention, because Alexis then called for a stall in the trial.

Meanwhile, back at the farm, Maxie is having a major meltdown. She deleted an important email at Crimson in order for Lulu to look bad, but Kate decided to blame both her and Lulu for the loss of important information. Maxie calls Spinelli, desperate that he come and help her retrieve the email before she loses her dream job.

Lulu and Maxie bicker, discussing who is really using Spinelli. Spinelli arrives in the midst of another war of the words. Lulu tells Spinelli that Maxie isn't his real friend. Maxie retorts that Lulu is only jealous and that Lulu treats Spinelli like a toy. Maxie then adds "...but you are not a toy to me, Spinelli", planting a kiss right on a very shocked Jackal. Lulu watches on, perhaps even more shocked at what she is seeing than Spinelli.

Maxie explains to Spinelli that her kiss proves she cares about him. Spinelli replies that he is "thoroughly conkissed --er-- convinced!". Lulu tells Spinelli that the kiss obviously meant nothing. The Jackal took exception to Lulu's "most ill-informed opinion", putting her in her place. He told Lulu that her words were beneath her and that she has made mistakes in her life too. Just as Lulu is not defined by her mistakes, Maxie isn't either. Very wise words from the Jackal, words that Lulu does not want to hear. She informs Spinelli that he is just Maxie's latest sucker, to which the Jackal replied, "...You don't think very much of me do you?"

"You don't think very much of me, do you?"

Lulu assured him that wasn't the case at all, that his trusting nature was simply being manipulated by Maxie. The arguement went nowhere, Maxie and Lulu fighting over history while Spinelli listened silently. He then took on the task of retrieving the lost email that brought him to the office in the first place. Kate the Fashionista doubted his abilities at first, but of course The Jackal and his mad computer skills triumphed and recovered the email before either Lulu or Maxie lost their job. As Spinelli left, both girls thanked him for his help. Lulu assured him that she wasn't mad at him at all and Maxie walked Spinelli out hand in hand.

What is Lulu thinking?

That concludes my very first post on the blog!
