Title: The Usual Place
Post by: Zone on October 26, 2003, 06:41:37 AM
It sits on a corner lot in downtown.  
It is a little gritty and the widows are dirty but it doesn't do much to hide the fact that they are more than plain glass.
It is dim inside - no bright lights just tinted or shaded lamps.  There is a row of booths to the right and to the left, the bar stretches 3/4 of the legnth of the room, a grill hisses behind it.  
There is a small kitchen reached via a door behind the bar and a pair of rest rooms at the far end of the room beyond the booths flanking another locked and unadorned door.
The dayshift is presided over by a human called Lucius but nights the are covered by the troll called Beau.
The unassuming sign board over the door says simply:
The Usual Place.

Zone grins from her stool at the end of the bar, "Either way gentlemen, its a straight line I wouldn't touch with a ten foot troll."

She snorts a laugh and accepts a drink from Gabrial "No garuntees. I've got two gold medals in ego bashing."

She lifts her glass to the others, "Mehema koe ka tuoho, meinga ki te maunga tetei. " she toasts, "If you should bow to greatness, let it be to a mountain".

Yes, I was rather intrigued by the title of that thread, untill I saw the picture.
Ofcourse, that made the, er, reasons we stay in the shadows abundantly clear, I found ;)

No offence to anyone, ofcourse, I mean, after all, Gabe the Gabby did point out to us that he was the one with the beard and glasses. Repeatedly, I seem to recall. ;)

She made a lot of family problems......maybe you can get the idea. ;D

I just want the fraggin' pearl when he's done with it.


So what do we do leave Twinkies in little saucers all over the place for Jester to lap up? :D
Title: Re:The Usual Place
Post by: Janus_Neckbreaker II on November 08, 2003, 11:40:20 AM
Ya here that Gabe? A troll sized pearl is all she wants, now wasn't that quicker than flexin your muscles all the time?
Unfortunately I like this one so far, and don't get enough that I can just spit one out as a casual thing. perhaps later Zone.  ;)

Hmmm twinkies, don't we have any food other than twinkies in this joint?  I could use me a good BBQ'ed set of hellhound ribs right 'bout now.  Or maybe some demon rat gumbo.

Eugh.  The whole image of you hawking up a pearl like a cat with a hairball is a charming image, Janus. But if it helps there is a grill here maybe Beau can whip you up some rat hot dogs or something  ;D

I think I'll take a definate pass on Twinkie pie - just too suggestive really, I'll stick with the Kelpo Chips.

Hoi Mercy,

   If you want real coffee, you are probably in the wrong place. Unless you flash a corporate credstick (and that would be a profoundly bad move) you aren't getting coffee unless you jander on down to Azzie-Land and pick some up yourself. Of course if you DO jander down to Azzie-Land, I have a few smuggler contacts that might help you get it back in time to have with the Twinkie pie.
   Oh, and Janus, if all the lady wants is a pearl, then I guess I'll have to get the lady a pearl. Besides, flexing a cybernetic arm is a bit of an anti-climax anyway.

I did not know Dragons could live off twinkies.  When I was growing up we once caught ahold of a Were-Eagle.  We had a hella bash that day I tell you. Invited all the chummers over in the neighborhood. BBq eagle is alot like chicken and it only takes one to feed a bunch of orks and trolls, as long as the person carving the bird is patient.  I wonder how that poor sod is doin...  (sheepish look)

I don't live off Twinkies but it's my preferred meal......MEAT is the best....I can't go against instincts and why would I?

I can BBQ and eat at the same time ;D

In fact....after I finish my Twinkie pie....I'll take a look around and see what I can find and we'll have a little feast....according to my standards of course. ;D

   That pie is the culmination of the culinary arts. There is no greater desert in this or any other life than the Twinkie Pie. Of course, no one has MADE Twinkies for going on 20 years now. So being drunk may very well be recommended.

This just in, the Ares Megacorp has purchased the rights and recipe for the ancient "Twinkie" snack food. The "Twinkies" are to be used by Lone Star for riot supression purposes...

***Talentlesshack walks in, and cases the joint... he decides to sit in a corner, but the corner seats are already taken by the broody-type shadowrunner... so he decides to take a set by the door... but the seats by the front and back doors are taken by the paranoid-type shadowrunners... slowly realizing he has no other choice, Talentlesshack makes his way to the bar where he starts to question how a Great Dragon is able to fit into such a small bar... as well as why no one seems unnerved by it... he's about to say something when he notices the street sam holding what appears to be a bucket of Bar-B-Q sauce and thinks better of it...***

“So Jay, you weren’t lying when you said this place would be interesting,“.  

***Without waiting for a reply, and perhaps already a little tipsy she raises her glass to the room at large***

 “Here's to the wine we love to drink, and the food we like to eat.
Here's to our wives and sweethearts...or husbands and lovers,  
Let's pray they never meet!”

***Eve smiles, empties her glass and pours another after she sits down”

   Hearing Janus’ offer and Eve’s toast, Gabriel wonders over to the table. He’s got a beer in one hand, which he sits on the table.
   “So Janus, is that stuff just good for you awakened types, or do us poor mundanes get some of it too?” So saying, Gabriel rolls up the sleeve over his right bicep. Janus and Eve hear a soft click as a compartment in the blackened arm pops open. Gabriel pulls out a small vial and the compartment closes. He rolls his sleeve down to cover it up again.
   “I’ve got a buddy of mine who works down near Fort Lewis. He’s got a pretty nice little shadow garage running down there. Of course, you know how motor-heads can get, refining fuel additives and making “special octane boosters” isn’t all they can cook up.”
   Gabriel pops the top off of the vial and pours a bit into his beer. Then holding it up, he offers the rest to Janus. “Wanna bit? Guaranteed to put hair on your chest.” He glances over to Eve. “Which is, of course, why I’m not offering any to you lovely friend.”

Interesting, yeah I said something like that.  Eve this  is Gabe, elf extrodinare and shoemat for Zone.  Those others are The Dragon, The King of the Twinkies, Mercy the troll and a couple I don't recognize.  I brought in some meat for cooking for Beau the bartender, hopefully we will have some good stuff.  

(pours a few drops from the flask into his mug)

Naw Gabe from what I hear its dangerous to non awakened because it forces ya to view the astral. As I immagine ya have no defenses for that I wouldn't suggest it.    Anyone up for a game of Toss the Dwarf?

(Jay pulls out a troll sized deck of handmade cards out of his breast pocket and start to shuffle)

   "Makes you view the astral, huh? Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Literally. Next time you find yourself in the Big Easy, ask around about the Mardi Gras Museum Rave. It’s been a while, and they’re still talking about that. As for Toss the Dwarf, even this mundane little elf-boy knows better than to play cards with a pair of spell-slingers."
   Looking at Eve with his best grin, Gabriel says, “Don’t let the reputation fool you, I’m really a very nice guy. By the way, what’s you favorite color?"

   No sooner does Eve’s question pass her lips then Gabriel gets a far-away look in his eyes. As he appears to stare into space, the irises of his eyes begin a strange, almost cascade effect. I a few seconds the ripples pass, and the emerald green is replaced by a steely blue.
   “Oh, no reason,” he says, the grin never leaving his face. “Just curious is all.”
   “So, you have a set of dice instead of those cards, J???”

Its a simple game really.  First you hit the north side of 75, and ya pick up a Red Hot Nuke.  Then ya tie up his feet and see how ya far can toss him, marking down both landings and bounces.  Crawling doesn't count.  The game goes on untill whatever volitile checmicals he has on him mix badly and he explodes.  You are shooting for the longest toss, and the person who gets him to "pop" gets an extra meter of distance.  If after the fifth toss he doesn't explode then it is Sudden Death.  That is when you duct tape a pinless grenade in his hands and throw for all yer worth.

Hmmm, errrr or did you mean the dice?

*sits down at the bar, orders a drink and turns around*

Now now. If you're going to try and make retorts at some one like the Kid, you're best not to hit him straight on. Actions speak louder than words, so what you should really do is set up a nice Green-4/Red 12 Dead End Bouncer with a One-Way San and loaded down with Black ICE, and leave him a trap door, maybe on one of the ACIFS systems, that leads straight into the Mitsuhama Blackhole.  And just for shits and Giggles, have the archtecture shift from some Really High Rez Dream sculputures to UMS when it hits Red. And the most important part... make sure you get that Datafile he can't resist (The picture I got o' him that night he was drunk and hitting on that 40 year old troll hooker) in there. As soon as he scans it, he'll be caught in no time, and you can sit back and watch the fun.

   Actually, let me clarify that a bit. The image of two deckers duking it out, even in friendly competition, would just look like a pair of slack-jawed, glassy-eyed droolers leaning up in a corner somewhere. Unless of course you link it all into the Pub's trid system. Actually that sounds pretty good. Who wants to see the two deckers duking it out on live trid????

Ducking cover for a hell of a while throws people off on a few things. Gimli's the drek hot decker. I'm well... a nice guy once you get to know me, but not somebody you ever want to slot off.

The big difference is that on the package it sais Dragon Jester cakes on it with a picture of a dragon with a jester's cap on it (working title)>

These are prototypes. Don't worry they ain't gonna kill ya I'm gonna eat some too :) The big secret is that we bought hostess. So any time from now on you see a twinkie, you gotta think of me and Apoc:) We'll get the name down soon before shipping starts. These are all on the house.

Thats part of the appeal of the name. There doesn't need to be meaning behind it, you can just get people like gabe stunned with them because they'll try and figure out what it means, and thus it'll give those Force Will spells some time to kick in, so they'll buy copius amounts, and soon as ya know it, you guys have the world. And everybody's worried about Llofwyr and Hestably. Hmph.

  Hey, the funny thing is, it works. I've actually had to use it a few times at work (since I work with like fifty women and like three guys)... and as long as you occaisonally glance in their direction, and pretend like you're paying attention, they keep going.
   Sorry, but I'm playing the cynic today... and whenever I posted that. It's been a VERY long week.

   -Kid Vid

   Oh, actually, the funniest part of that story is that after we were listening to him talk about that, my brother, Ruski (known to lesser mortals as Mark) and his girlfriend came in and heard the story... and she got all offended that we had even thought of such a thing, and Ruski turned to her and said, with a straight face;

  "And how does that make you feel?"

  And she actually started talking about how it made her feel! For like two minutes while we were all standing there with our mouthes hanging open not believing she didn't catch that.

   And then she did, and she started kicking his ass. *grin* We had a good laugh about it, and then we still joke about it now. *grin* We joke about it a lot.

Possibly. Probably not though. Can't say though that he doesn't get his share of praise along with it though. Its sort of the policy with postin as much as he does. Get alot of flak, but he gets alot of praise too.  Apoc gets a good bit himself. So does Kid. They all have over 1000 posts. Besides, the pub's always had a scapegoat of somesort.

   Lela recently found out that she was human after all. Unfortunately it turns out she is one of the sewer mutant variety of humans. Her parents decided to leave her at the minimum security orphanage when she was born with a note written in fake-alien to confuse everyone. They didn’t want her to grow up unloved and shunned.

3. Your boat has not left the driveway in 15 years.

4. The Salvation Army declines your mattress.

5. You offer to give someone the shirt off your back and they don't want it.

6. You have the local taxidermist on speed dial.

7. You come back from the dump with more than you took.

8. Your grandmother has "Ammo" on her Christmas list.

9. You think a subdivision is part of a math problem.

10. You've been involved in a custody fight over a hunting dog.

11. You know how many bales of hay your car will hold.

12. You have a rag for a gas cap.

13. Your house doesn't have curtains but your truck does.

14. You wonder how service stations keep their restrooms so clean.

15. You consider your license plate personalized because your father made it.

16. Your lifetime goal is to own a fireworks stand.

17. You sit on your roof at Christmas time hoping to fill your deer quota.

18. You have a complete set of salad bowls and they all say CoolWhip on the side.

19. The biggest city you've ever been to is Wal-Mart.

20. You've used your ironing board as a buffet table.

21. You think a quarter horse is that ride in front of K-Mart.

22. Your neighbors think you're a detective because a cop always brings you home.

23. You missed 5th grade graduation because you had jury duty.

24. You think fast food is hitting a deer at 65 mph

Approximately 0.001%, if I read the files on your machine correctly.

Well, I filched this report from 'raku on a recent skivy in. Says they plan on advertising the discount, but not changing it. 'Course, this did come from their counter-advertising department, so you can probably safely say they're planning on getting around to it... right guys?

Don't know about you, but for me, that's the problem with learning to spot  a conspiracy at 500 paces. Sometimes your strain to see it, and it's really just a crow at 300, but since it's up in the sky, good referance points are so hard to find for comparison.

Title: Re:The Usual Place
Post by: Gabriel on March 29, 2004, 06:00:56 AM
Yeah, probably so... :-X

Oh, and chummers, The Last Hero is not his latest book. It is the large "storybook" format illustrated novel he did a year or so ago. It's the dimensions of a children's book, but thicker. THe first half of it is pretty crappy, since he is trying to combined all of his characters into the story: wizards, the watch, Rincewind, the witches, etc. So it is kind of rough and choppy. But once the storyline takes off, it gets really good. The very basic premise (trying not to give too much away) is that the Silver Hoard has decided to leave Hung Hung and have one last adventure, one they don't intend to return from. They intend to "take fire back to the gods." I highly recommend this one, if for no other reason than the last chapter with the Valkyries.

  Too many people blame religion- like religion is the only ones who censored anything. Not the russians, not the english, not the french, not... well the pope did, but I don't know about him... he does have a cool hat, though.

  Religion isn't he only reason that people censor. It's just the oldest.

   And I say to her, "Well, it's about  :censored: :censored: :censored:, and I can use it to  :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:"
So we start making out, and before long I go :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:. And she is flailing around and :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:.
   So when it's all over, we are laying there. She's panting, I'm trying to get the feeling back in my tongue, and we are both grinning like baboons.

Yeah, Ruskiface got into a motorcycle accident 2 days ago and K_V is helping him recover. Before you all get worried, I have been told that the damage is uncomfortable as hell, but Ruski is in no danger. It is just mostly broken bones in the arms and wrists, but he is in casts and on his way to recovering. So if any of you want to help me send Ruski a care package, drop me a line and let me know in the next few days.

   Ruski still alive- left arm broken five times, wrist dislocated, pins in hand, cast from the forearm down.
   Right arm- broken two times, wrist dislocated, cast from the elbow down.


 He's still playing City of Heroes, so I think he'll be okay... he is Mark, after all.

Most likely the surface is covered with either titanium or Tantalium, if it's suposed to stay in there. But that doesn't make it a black jack.

True, but you hit someone with that titanium rob and they will damn sure feel it. I'm not saying it wouldn't hurt, but I bet Ruski would get the better end of the deal. This all assumes he would have to do something like that.

Same thing is true for stainless steel, which is what's likely to be inside the surface coating.

Now I know that titanium is a nonbioreactive material, and that is why is is used for surgical bracing, but I didn't think it would be used as a coating material. I guess I never really thought about that.

It is.

And the whole point is that biosystems can connect to it, there's only limited rejection. Basically it's forming organo-metallic bonds.

I'll sell you one for a good price or maybe you can offer me a trade (like giving up the Little Debbies and joining the Twinkie force)?

I also have good memory software and a course (how to learn troll in an easy 8 weeks). ;D

There are reasons why this does not seem probable in the near future.

Mainly, they still haven't build a vibrator that they can "talk about our relationship" with, or that'll take down the trash, or do the dishes.

Sometimes? I've had to have political conversations pretty much every day, which usually left me with the following quotes for my story-

"Bush is an idiot."

"Kerry Sucks."

"I guess the Anti-Christ is getting re-elected."

"Democrats are idiots."

"Bush is an idiot, and I guess the country is full of idiots, becaue they voted him back in."

*sigh* I was looking for something constructive to say... but everyone acts like jackasses... I'm glad I don't have to do a story about religion.

Actually, I had a SNAFU while posting, and it went up like six posts later than I meant it to. It was sipposed to be nestled before your comment about prophets not being able to tell you when, but my computer hiccupped, and when I got back around to it, the thread had continued without me.

My brother isn't a creppy bastard. He's not a bastard (my parents are married), and he's not creepy. In fact, he's probably one of the most charming people that I know. My hero, among other things.

I have a worm installed in the backbone of MITM's servers, giveing me a new docterate every other year. if they try to remove the record, it finds the IP address of the offending security decker, and doubles the interest rate on all of their student loans. ... and then re-creates the record.

-1 TN for crash tests

?

-RuskiFace the Pirate
Title: Re:The Usual Place
Post by: Gabriel on January 04, 2005, 06:07:52 AM
Actually, I would consider it a non-magical centering technique. Something along the lines of meditation. You get into a mind-set when listening to certain music. This, in turn, allows you to get into a very, very low level trance state where certain actions become easier and more natural-feeling. In this case, weeving in and out of traffic at high rates of speed would be enhanced by the high-speed, thrash rythmes. So I would just give an across the board -1TN, but no more than that.

Gabriel
Title: Re:The Usual Place

Well if we want to get into a rules thing here, I would make it a skill. You roll against a TN of 8. One success is enough to get "inot the groove" and zen out. And you can only roll once per situation, which would be goverened by the GM's discretion.

Gabriel
Title: Re:The Usual Place
Post by: Ruski on January 04, 2005, 01:54:20 PM
hmm... i don't know if i'd go so far as to make it a skill... but perhaps an intelegence test... to 'focus'... and you could modify the target number with additional speakers in your car. offset by dammage of course, road noise is killer on the groove.

-RuskiFace the Pirate
Title: Re:The Usual Place
Post by: Gabriel on January 05, 2005, 08:10:39 AM
I see it as a skill since you get a free -1TN for it. That can make or break a game. So you should spend Karma for it.

Gabriel
Title: Re:The Usual Place
Post by: Ruski on January 05, 2005, 09:19:01 AM
so would that be a 'grooveing' skill?

-RuskiFace the Pirate
Title: Re:The Usual Place
Post by: Gabriel on January 05, 2005, 09:41:00 AM
Call it something like Audio-Meditation. Kind of like having theme music. Of course there are other examples of this kind of thing.

For example: when I used to work at Purple Hell (K&B Pharmacy) the lines would get so bad on mondays (people fill a lot of prescriptions on mondays) that I would get into "the groove" of checking peopel out. Since the bar code system was NEVER picked up by K&B, you had to manually enter every price on every item. I would end up going so fast that I could check out 3 people for every one that the girl beside me checked out. If someone had loaded all of their crap onto the counter and started writing the check out immediately, I would usually beat them and have to wait for them to finish. None of this had anything to do with music, as the above example did, but the principle is the same: a low level trance state where thought and action become more simultaneous than your normal state.

I just happen to think that used as a skill, it would be something that a character would actually try to cultivate. He would conciously try to block out what was happening around him and let his mind/body react on its own while conecntrating on the music.

Gabriel
Title: Re:The Usual Place
Post by: Ruski on January 05, 2005, 10:37:22 AM

Pushes the door to the pub open quickly and moves in as fluidly as the water dripping from his body. It's obviously raining again in seattle. He looks like a mess. His suit is torn to shreds and covered in blood. His, others, really doesn't matter at this point. There's a hole at the side where a knife wound still trickles slightly from under the patch, the blood mixing with the water in the way that it does. His overcoat has obviously been hit by at least one shotgun blast, exposing the pair of holsters situated in his back and the two large pistols within them as well as a few places in his back where he would probably be leaking as well if it weren't for the liberal administration of binding foam. His hair is matted straight down to his head by the rain, with trickles of blood coming from the beneath it. The right arm of his clothing is completely missing, exposing the red flesh he SURGED to, the black bruises that look like they've been conveniently placed,  and the filled holster strapped to the inside of his forearm. His glasses are still perfectly straight though, and his face is as blank as ever even though it's seen better days as well. He moves to the bar and sits, placing his elbow on the counter and cupping his still gloved hand expectantly.

Whiskey. Neat. Double, no, triple.

He casts a cold look at Ruski

Centering is metamagic. Not even most awakened can use it.

He looks forward again, waiting for that drink

Goes behind the counter and fixes up Paladin's drink.

so. want me to get the first-aid kid out of the back for you? i think there's an extra coat in there as well... yours dosn't look like it's keeping you too warm.

Gulps it down in a swallow and a half, his hand already on the bottle ready to pour the next by the time the glass hits the bar.

This'll do just fine for right now.

He lifts the refilled glass to his lips.

The next time I get the idea to go to Eastern Europe for fun, someone find Hock and call in a hit on me.

He proceeds to down half of that next glass.

Gabriel walks over from his table, taking a few items out of his coat pockets and stuffing them into the pockets of his jeans. He tosses the trenchcoat to Paladin, the ballistic plates causing it to drop like a rock.

"Here, chummer have some armor on me."

The soft click, of machinery can be heard as a small compartment in Gabriel's upper arm detaches itself. Reaching in, the elf pulls out a few slap patches. He tosses them on the bar near Paladin.

"Use what you need, Neo P. I can always get some more.

"So, what's this about Europe, if you don't mind the asking?"

He grabs the coat and pulls it on over the rags he's already wearing.

The door swings open again, and the man you saw earlier is but a shadow of this one. His suit is neatly pressed, the hat he has acquired is soaked but sharp, and everything fits him like a glove including his gloves. He carries a large duffle in his right hand that looks pretty full. Returning to the bar, he places the bag on the counter, unzips it, and lays the longcoat there. He then removes a pair of briefcases to the otherside of it, one large and metallic with biometric locks, the other sleek, leather, matching the suit exactly.

"Thanks for the Jacket. It was useful."

He sits down and looks at Ruski

"So how's it coming?"

It's cool. you are running in view only anyways. i'll cut out the RAS override if you like, so you can stay aware here in the pub, but it always makes me dizzy to do that, so i'd suggest just going full throttle.
if you like we can check your e-mail or something really quick... want to order any guns? or... i have a hookup into a company that's building IR cameras, and i can have some shipped to you for free if you want them... there are a number of ways to kill a good half hour.

If you could hit the RAS that would be good, since you're not yet full up on the story, and I don't so much feel like telling it twice. Besides, I've got some questions for the dodger, and communication back and forth would be useful.

Tiger walks in and looks around at the empty bar stools, and scratches his head.  He finds his old seat at the bar. Hmph, no more ass grove, he thinks to himself.  He takes a seat and sees the same old stale peanuts scattered about in random patterns. He picks one up and pops it in his mouth. These are awful. He spits the peanut out onto the floor then looks around for the bartender...

"Hello, anybody here?" He hollars as he reaches behind the bar for a glass to pour some of his favorite brew.

Kid_Vid (Keith to his chummers) slides through the door and shakes off his trenchcoat, taking a moment to clean his old-fashioned glasses with his shirt before moving toward the bar proper. With a shake of his head, he flings dirty Seattle rainwater in every direction, revealing a silver datajack on one side of his head.

"Hey chummers. Whaddup." he says as he slides into one of the stools at the end of the bar. It's been a few years, and Kid's lanky boyhood frame has toughened into one of an actual runner, although he was only recently brought back into the life, leaving behind the lucrative life of a substitute teacher.

With a glance at the Hearth Spirit bartender, Kid nods and orders a coke. He's been old enough to drink for a few months now, but these chummers would never let him live it down if he started now.

Sleet drums on the windows of The Usual Place.  Its not a fit night out for man, beast or runner.  Even the Secforces and gogangs have disappeared off the streets.  A somehow sadly pathetic quiver of neon from the window seems almost like the only sign of life.  Even more animated than the handful of hulks at the bar

The Kid, down at the end of the bar tinkering with some electronics, looks over his shoulder and laughs "He said he needed some 'Happy Time,' since he found those altered pics of Our Lady of Drones here, making it appear that she was both a catholic schoolgirl and a very naughty nurse."

Kid turns some screws, and then looks back and continues his story "He looked right at that cyberarm, and said," Kid says, imitating Gabe's baritone voice, "'Boy, you gonna need a tune-up.'"

A man walks into the bar wearing the Cal-Free Ranger longcoat and cowboy hat. (formerly Cal-Free Marshals)
a fine layer of dust permeates the soft brown leather, although the Seatle rain seems to have turned a fair share of it into a fine layer of grit and mud.
The seven pointed star hangs tarnished on the left breast pocket, and numerous patches covering tears and bullet holes outline how durable the coat is.
A hip-high slash on the right side goes from the knee-length bottom of the coat all the way to the hip, exposing a once-chrome seven shot revolver in a tactical thigh mounted quick-draw holster. 

"Let's see if my Godmode codes still work..."
a raspy, yet familiar voice speaks to the dead silence of the pub.

the hat tips to the side as if some internal thought process is talking with it's self in his head.

The juke-box pauses mid song, cutting off the last half of 'Days of Rain'.
Juke-Joint Jesabel, a pre-VITAS song by a long forgotten band known as KMFDM begins to pulse through the sound system.

Walking toward the bar patrons lean away from the man who seems all-to-familiar, and a little too legally empowered for the usual crowd at this venue.

He reaches over with his left hand and pulls a dusty bottle from behind the counter.
It's been years. but the bright blue color of "Jolt-Cola; Electric blue" can still be seen through the grime.
The sugar and caffeen seem to have settled into a thick 2" crust at the bottom of the bottle. It takes more than a few shakes to get it somewhat mixed again.

"So, what's an old pirate got to do in order to get a welcome around here?"

"Fair enough Zone. Long time no see. A welcome to you, and deserved or not: Here's a Drink. It's called 'Moloko Plus'. Also known as milk with knives in it for those wanting to taste a bit of the old ultraviolence."

Ruski will walk to behind the bar and begin mixing the drink for zone.

Ruski: most of us don't really get a welcome - we just siddle in and hope to go unnoticed.

By the bounty hunters anyway.

Then for you my friend; I will make a 'Sneaky Pete'
It's 3 parts 7-up .05 parts cranberry juice 1 part frozen OJ, 1 part frozen lemonade, 1 part slow gin; with a powdered sugar rimmed glass.

may you go as un-noticed as you hope, and may you enemies be distracted by other more manly drinks.

Heh, I hope so - and if they do, I'll happily buy them a round ;)

Damn, did we forget to dust you?  Sorry,  but we haven't had any Endust and all the rags are being used as bandages...
