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.
-
So Z,
Can I buy you a drink to soothe my shattered ego from the last time I tried to flex for ya?? ;)
Gabriel
-
Jester walks by and smacks gabe in back of the had while giggling and heads straight for the bar
-
Apoca is following close behind Jester....laughing at Gabe carrying his Dragon-sized mug....
Pulls up a stool and calls for an ale.
and his fiddlers three.
;D
-
Shows up with a stack of comic books under his arm (the old-style paper books with anchient characters like Batman and Superman), nd sits in a chair near the door, taking a whole booth to himself and his paper books.
-Kid Vid
-
Pass any of the Age of Apocalypse ones my way. ;D
-
Orders gabe a drink with a note saying just messin with ya. Takes in the scene to see who all has decided to show up today.
-
Ya know Jester,
I've got the Stock o' Pain and I'm not afraid to use it...
Gabriel
-
Ya know Jester,
I've got the Stock o' Pain and I'm not afraid to use it...
Gabriel
I do believe you mean STICK of pain :)
hehehehe,
Jester
-
Ya know Jester,
I've got the Stock o' Pain and I'm not afraid to use it...
Gabriel
I do believe you mean STICK of pain :)
hehehehe,
Jester
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".
-
Apoca turns to Gabe asking if he can borrow his STOCK ;D
lol ;D
-
Chummer, there is only one person in this place that might get that. And it AIN'T you or Mr. Mime over there.
Gabriel (who is going back to typing school...)
-
yea, inside joke. ya gotta excuse gabe, he's a bit off ;)
-
True..LOL.. ;D
-
yea, he's actually the only person I know that will hunt down the tooth fairy and take a picture with him :D
-
[size=10]HAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAH!!![/size]
*coughcough* I mean, yes, that was quite humerous, old chap. Good show!
-Kid Vid
-
That's it chummers, get it all out now. Just remember...
Stick o' Pain!!!
Gabriel
-
LOL.....STOCK.....hahahahhahahahha.
Okay, I should be good for now.
LOL.. ;D
-
Bring it fairy boy
-
yea, he's actually the only person I know that will hunt down the tooth fairy and take a picture with him :D
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. ;)
-
Now that you mention it.....he did....didn't he....
Okashi yo ne. (Strange huh?) ;D
-
You bunch of flat-scans. A guy sits in a bar and tries to impress a lady, and all you do is bring up his past and bad typing abilities. I guess I have no choice but to go out to the bike and get that bag of splat-grenades I've got left over from the last time there was a misunderstanding...
Hey Ingo, did the pub EVER get cleaned up?????
Gabriel
-
Yeah, I cleaned it and got no Thanks by the way.
-
got no Thanks by the way
Hehehehehe...Sucker. ;)
Gabriel
-
oh yea ya did, good job chummer :) And Gabe, you can go back to "impressing" the ladies. <coghdorkcough>
-
Yeah, I cleaned it and got no Thanks by the way.
Domo Arigato...
Or something similar.
-
At least I didn't get a Mr. Roboto ;D
-
LOL I haven't heard that song in ages
-
It is a classic. ;D
-
<passes apoc a box of twinkies and a beer> what new bro?
-
Getting ready to go to my Sister-in-laws wedding.....I'm dreading it....I get to pass her off.....and the sorry thing is I CAN'T STAND HER.....only my wife know...other than that.....my kid racked some candy in for Halloween..
What about you? Any luck with the ladies lately?
(Apoca calls the bartender for two shots of the hardest stuff he has) On the count of 2.
2.....1......
-
<gulp> aahhh, naa. No women types lately. Just hangin and runnin. That's about all
-
<gulp> Good Stuff.......at least your not stressed about thing. ;D
Me too, stress-free...just this damn wedding.
-
oh, what's so bad about her?
-
She's just one of those people that you just don't like....plus she has caused so many problems for me and my wife.....she's been jealous, etc..
She made a lot of family problems......maybe you can get the idea. ;D
-
yea, I think I foloow. Almost sounds like my sister-in-law. Except she ain't that bad. But she can be at times.
-
Then it sounds like you have some understanding of it.
Anyway...I'm heading to her wedding tomorrow. ;D
-
Sorry boys - I took a week off for sanity reasons - you all can decide if it worked ;D But I'm back now.
Did I miss anyone trying to impress me? :D
Barkeep!
-
Did I miss anyone trying to impress me? :D
Not noticably.
-
Finally....the wedding is over...I'm happy the wedding is over...I'll post some pics in a day or so. ;D
-
woot go head Apoc!
-
(Janus walks into and upto the bar and buys a bottle of Johnny Walker Black from the bartender)
No glass needed I'll keep the bottle. Hows everyone doin?
(He then finds a troll sized barstool and pulls up a seat)
-
Fine myself....and you?
-
Just got back with someone I hooked up with at the last convention I went to, so I'm happy as a clam with a pearl. Just sittin here chillin like a tranq monkey in a vat of Xanax. (chuckles gruffly)
Bartender! Get this Dragon something to drink.
-
Seems like a lot of relationships have been working out lately....I'm glad to hear..
Also..Bartender.....bring three Twinkies....the extra is for Jester. ;D
-
so I'm happy as a clam with a pearl.
Ouch. Sounds painful. I don't suppose you're reacting to the problem by execreeting layers upon layers of semi-toxic materials to cover it all up, are you?
-
Trying to spoil the mood, eh? ;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
-
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.
-
Trying to spoil the mood, eh? ;D
<innocence>Who, me?!?!
Never!</innocence>
-
hehe, there's more here than twinkies, but why would you want anything else?
-
I guess....as long as you finish it off with a slice of Twinkie Pie.
-
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.
-
Apoca turns to Jester and whispers.......
"Are you sure we're in the right place?" "I mean, nobody wants a Twinkie or piece of pie."
Suggestively, looks around the place eyeing the inhabitants.... ;D
-
As my old gran used to say...If it hasn't got a chocolate coating it isn't food
;D
-
<scribbles a little note about a chocolate version of the twinkie pie and whispers to apoc> maaaan I don't know, I think we're in sort of twilight zone re-run <looksleftandright>
-
I thought something must be wrong......but this could be a big joke that everybody is playing on us.......but I have to say that it is a real convincing one.....(and nobody is laughing) ;D
-
well apocShe's just one of those people that you just don't like....plus she has caused so many problems for me and my wife.....she's been jealous, etc..
someone must like her if she is getting married ;D
-
well if we afre placing orders for food let me have a troll size mug of real coffee and a plattler of geled eeels
-
Well....her husband has the same mentality of my 4 year old.....I'm serious...he only seems to speak or play with my kid when we visit, etc.....
Also.....aww....nevermind.....long story..and not sure if I sure bring it up here or in a different thread.. ;D
-
OOC: I'm confused, tell me if I'm out of line here, isn't this an IC forum? Maybe I'm just reading the posts in the wrong context. It just seems to me that the posts here aren't any different than the posts in other forums. ???
-
They're in character....I think....with a twist of the real world...
Not sure about the ones that don't like Twinkies though ;D
-
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.
Gabriel
OOC: Kage has a point y'all. If we are going to stay in character, we may want to try a bit harder. [guilty look]
-
twinkiw pie will be done in about 15 minutes! <runs to the back with an armfull of ingrediants>
-
gues will have to settle for soy cafe
-
I have a friend of a friend that heard a Mr. Johnson is hiring people to steal a shipment of Coffee (Aztech Brand) from an Aztechnology Caravan headed up from Aztlan.
You'll be looking for the Starbucks Museumin downtown Seattle. Ask for a table in the resturaunt upstairs under the name "Jitterbug".
-Kid Vid
-
Apoca runs behind Jester screaming...."make sure you make more than one, I'm hungry you know"........ ;D
-
(chuckling)
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 think I need more booze....
-
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
-
Um Scales, why are you did you just give me a 5 gallon bucket of KC Materpiece to hold?? Um, why's everyone backing up?? And why is Jester holding that steak knife???
Oh frag... :kenny:
-
EVERYBODY DINNER IN FIVE
*starts smaking lips*
-
Gabe, you didn't know? Elves are crunchy and taste good with BBQ sauce. :cartman:
-
Lol, we sure do. Just ask my girlfriend. :hyper:
Gabriel (the main course)
-
I will if I can ever get to meet her.
-
That was the female in the pic, right? and you didn't introduce her to Jester.....
Gabe
What is wrong with you? ;D
-
She may sit in on the next game. Oh and to answer Scales' question, Because I have taste, my friend. Because I have tase. Heheheheh. :P
Gabriel
-
ah cmon, I'm not that bad :)
-
What is tase?
If you got it then I that is probably why I never heard of it.
heh heh heh ;D
-
ah cmon, I'm not that bad
Very true. Especially when you bring Twinkies to the games. :drool:
Gabriel
-
OOC: I'm confused, tell me if I'm out of line here, isn't this an IC forum? Maybe I'm just reading the posts in the wrong context. It just seems to me that the posts here aren't any different than the posts in other forums. ???
This is very much IC but hey who am I to argue posts with a schizo dragon or armed psychos.
So where is that fraggin pie... and should I be drunk to eat it?
-
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.
Gabriel
-
<at the coment of hearing that twinkies have not been made for over 20 years, Jester gets up and walks out the door pondering on something>
-
Hey Chummer....wait for me....where have we been? and if those haven't been Twinkies then ..............?
;D
-
OOC:Well, back in the day, it was common place to use IC and OOC to show how the post was to be perceived. It was just hard to separate between the IC and OOC post by some members. I'm sure I'm not the only one here that was "confused" by the posts.
-
But couldn't Twinkies still be around somewhere?
I like to combine IC posts with OOC topics....makes for interesting talk. ;D
-
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...***
I'll take any good single malt scotch you've got...
-
(Eyes lighting up)
BBq sauce? I'll be back let me go get some rat. Now this is what I was talking about. Can't BBq no damn twinkies.
(leaves the bar and outside the roar of a Harley Scorpion can be heard}
-
Well, hell. This place just got interesting. T.H. you have just single-handedly destroyed Ares by posting the Twinkie headline. A pissed-off street sammie with a MEGA sugar high and a Twinkie-addicted great dragon are nothing to laugh at. Oh, wait, yes they are. :D
Gabriel (ducking before he is hit with BBQ sauce)
-
as i scoot out of the way a dart gun peeks out of my jacket
-
(Janus returns lugs in two sides of Meat which look more like bison or beef than they do rat, takes them back to Beau with a jug of BBq Named "Barrenz Sauz". after which he comes out and sits at a center Table checking his watch.)
Anyone see a cute elven babe walk in yet besides Zone? I have some aboriginal Kan'ayyaki if anyone wants any.
(Pulls out a silver flask and pours a bit into his mug)
It's gaurenteed to effect the awakened in ways you can only immagine.... the Kadji who works for me made it.
-
I dunno man... I can imagine quite a bit... no, wait... that's not imagination... that's TV...
Pictures in your head my ass...
-
There's always room for me....if not then I'll make room or shrink down a bit.
I'm surprized that they have my mug.
-
***Eve walks into the bar, pausing to let her eyes adjust to the shadows. Giving the patrons a quick once over she winks at Janus and walks to the bar and orders a bottle of cheep red wine. Turning with her bottle and glass in hand she stops at Janus‘s table. ***
“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.”
-
<walks back into the pub with a big grin on his face and walks up to apoc and whispers something in his ear. Apoc's eyes light up with joy as they both start talking back and forth discussing something>
hehehehe,
Jester
-
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?"
Gabriel
-
<Apoca starts giggling like a school girl.......>
Now we will have real power.....hahahhahahaha....You know that my funds are good......just tell me how much and what we have to do. ;D
-
“Toss the Dwarf“, Watching Janus incredulously, “that really a card game?”
“No worries Gabriel, I’m sure you are a very nice guy. And in answer to your question my favorite color is Steely Ice Blue, why do you ask? “
-
*wanders into the bar, out of the perpetual rainfall of Seattle. He brings with him a can of soup, Soy-Bean, and a book. He sits at the bar, and passes the can to the bartender, who moves over to the coffee machine to get hot water. Then Kid, who only looks to be about sixteen, quietly eats his soup while reading his book "History of Comics: 1900 to the Present"*
-Kid Vid
-
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???”
Gabriel
-
Pauses talking to Jester a bit (which looks very serious for some reason)
Hey, if Kid just walked in then who is that reading the comics in the corner? It has to be...........
Just stares for a sec then resumes the very serious & suspicious talking with Jester.
Then lets out another giggle and evil grin...hahahahhaa ;D
-
Anyone see a cute elven babe walk in yet besides Zone? I have some aboriginal Kan'ayyaki if anyone
Besides Zone!? Besides Zone? What am I chopped liver?
she shoots a look at Apoc
Don't get any ideas, its just a turn of phrase, chummer.
-
<Jester smiles and pulls out a cell and starts to make a call> hehe, I just wish everyone was a quiet as kid, then this call would be easier :)
-
Hey Z-Baby,
Nothing like a bit of freindly competiton, is there? :P
Gabriel (the blue-eyed elf)
-
*Whispering to Jester....You know I can provide a location but where would you suggest?*
<Apoc suddenly realizes that his voice was just a little to loud and Jester screams SSSSSHHHH...a little quieter.>
Apoc smiles evilly while Jester makes his call..... ;D
-
I think it was originaly more of a hands on game untill it was decided that it wasn't very meta friendly.
(Sighs, puts the cards away and pulls out six bone dice)
So whats yer pleasure? A game of Crowns?
-
How do you play?? I've got some cred that could use some company. That is, when yours joins it in my credstick. :)
Gabriel
-
Hey Z-Baby,
Nothing like a bit of freindly competiton, is there? :P
Gabriel (the blue-eyed elf)
Nonsense. There is no competition, my delusional one. You are a shoemat. Janus said so ;D
-
Hehehehe,
I may be a shoemat, but I am YOUR shoemat. Well, at least for now. :P
Gabriel (the shoemat)
-
Oh hey now, I'm just here for cheep wine and good conversation, no one said anything about competition, friendly or otherwise.
He's all yours Zone, I wouldn't dream of stepping in on another womans umm, shoemat....(raises one eyebrow at the last word)
-
You mean the now blue-eyed shoemat??? :P
Gabriel
-
Jester and Apoc's arms shoot up in the air.
Yeeeesssss. C.A.L.
-
WOOT! WE DA BOMB! Hey Gabe, yall playin Yu Gi Oh or somethin over there?
-
<shout>I think they're trying to figure out how California's spelled...</shout>
*goes back to drinking*
-
Apoc and Jest go back into discussion after the weird looks from everybody in the pub. ;D
-
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?
(one of his eyes don't seem to be tracking properly and his speech is a bit slurred)
-
Those wacky Red Hot Nukes. My chummers and I had a run in with them a while back. We actually got out in one piece, although they learned a valuable lesson about giving an OCD Raccoon a high-tech piece of military hardware to play with.
And yeah, I was talking about the dice. By the way, looks like the novaclear I gave ya for that drink may be starting to kick in. Packs a punch doesn’t it???
Gabriel
-
Even if the shoemat has beautiful blue eyes Gabe. Sorry guy, another woman's shoemat is another woman's shoemat.
(Wistful smile)
(Looks around at everyone's drinks...and smiles) I can't afford that loco stuff that you and Janus are drinking, but I have had a run of good luck lately, so other than the expensive super additives, (Talking much louder so that everyone can hear and motioning to the barkeep) The next round's on me.
(Walks to the bar and puts some cred down to start a tab)
-
I may be Zone’s bitch, but that won’t stop me from taking a free drink. Thanks Eve, this is how you win friends and influence people. :drunk:
Gabriel
-
*stunned* I have a bitch. Damn! Where were you when I actually had a house to keep clean.
sidles over to Eve
I'll give ya fifty nuyen if you'll just pretend like he has a chance, that'll redirect some of the testoterone, and give me a rest.

[FlipSide emerges from the badly lit corridor at the back near the restrooms after finishing a phone call. He carries his dark blue windbreaker over one arm, concealing a light-brown manila envelope. He takes a seat at the bar, takes of his cap and wipes his brow.]
Barkeep! The Usual.. two fingers.
[The bartender opens a bottle of the The Usual Place's moonshine and pours a glass.]
Aah.. another day at the office. Egos being crushed, jokes being cracked, Twinkies being hailed.. all the witty banter of experts. That's why I come here.. the wonderful company of equals.. ;)
-
Hey, Jester, when we going to check the place? Up to you, I'm free whenever. ;D
-
will take a milk barkeep fter all I am still a growing boy
-
Whenever you ready Apoc, is fine by me :) Hell, how about now. <Jester and Apoc gather up their things and head out into the rain>
-
SO who wants to go help the dyslexic duo steel Twinkies????
Gabriel (did I spell that right???)
-
Gabriel (did I spell that?)
In a word, no.
-
He he... actually I think that's kinda funny... slightly 'ha-ha' funny, more 'hmm' funny... the fact that you can spell 'dyslexic' and not 'steal'.. I guess if there's a word dyslexic people REALLY can't spell, it's 'dyslexic'... And I'm not calling anyone dithleksic.. :D
But what did you expect... I'm a philologist by trade.. or trying to become one anyway.. :)
-
Hey now, chummer, don't make fun of my dyslexia. At least I am not the evil fuck who put an "s" in the word "lisp". Can you imagine telling people you have a Lithp??? That's just cruel, man.
Gbraiel (hehehehehe)
-
As Jester and Apoc head outside, the pub can hear bits of the conversation.
So, would you like me to just fly us their or do you prefer to be a little more shady?
(door to outside is opened but rain is interferring with conversation)
I think ....... place will be .......... to set up..............because I got......just the labor is.............
(conversation is drowned out by the outside rain and then the Pub door slams shut)
-
reading the above notice, ROOTless backs up all files, again.

And then we all ponder the dilema of the agnostic dyslexic who lies awake nights wondering if there really is a dog.

-
<Apoc and Jester return to the pub a few days later with smiles on their faces> So apoc, shall we tell um?
-
Let's see how much they will pay for the info first?
So, who's curious and how much money do you have to know what's been going on?
-
hehe, I love the way you think Apoc ;D
-
means more funding ;D
-
You know what, I am not funding any business venture concerning a twitchy dragon and a street sammy with a perpetual sugar high. Sorry, chummers, but I am keeping my money close to my vest.
Gabriel
-
We didn't expect you to....it's the others...but you'll kick yourself afterwards ;D
-
hmmm, looks like nobody wants to know. Oh well, there loss :)
-
Exactly......more for us...more for us.......my precious......mwhahahaha
-
has anyone ever told you that you could really use some therapy??? ::)
Gabriel
-
Yeah, my other self and my wife too.....why do you ask? it's still gonna cost you if you want to know. ;D
-
Hey, speaking of your wife, was she ever able to get any preliminary sketches ready???
Gabriel
-
offers 2 gelled eels
-
She's working but extremely slowly..nothing anybody wants to see at least just circles etc..planning the drawing. She started a new job about a month ago and she's been busy but she hasn't forgotten (and I kindly remind her all the time) ;D
-
Wiz. Plese thank her agains for those of us getting illustrated.
Gabriel
-
Yea, and tell her no rush. <Looks at he gelled eels> eeeewwwww :zombie:

Isn't that kinda why we're all here? Therapy on the cheap in sunny downtown Seattle?
-
I though we were her to get stinking drunk and verbally asaulted by beautiful elven women. I guess I missed the point. :'(
Gabriel
-
<buys a round for the bar> Drink up everyone!
-
<buys a round for the bar> Drink up everyone!
I'll drink to that.
Gabriel
-
fine I bid 4 of kid vids comics
-
Yeah Jester, I'll help in on the next round too....I celebrating our fortune to come anyway.....looks like things are going in the right direction.
-
You know no one is going to ask you two what you are up to now that you are trying to drop the subtle "I'm going to pretend I don't care if they ask me" vibe. Right??? ;)
Gabriel
-
Whatcha talkin about? I really don't give a drek what you think now. It's me and Apoc's cash :)
-
LOL, thanks for illustrating my point chummer. ;)
Gabriel
-
you're welcome ;)
-
We illustrating our cash.....can't wait till the money rolls in. ;D
-
Cash in a matrix-based credit market?? Am I the only one who thinks that's a bad idea???
Gabriel
-
Gabe, you're the biggest killjoy I've ever met, ya know that...
-
Cred, whatever...you're still not bringing me down with your bad vibes. ;D
-
YEA! you're right Apoc! ;D
-
Hey now, you are talking to a dark lord of depressing drek. So show some respect, or I will bring you down, man. As my hippy forbearers used to say. ::)
Gabriel
-
Gabe, what chips are you slotting these days, and where can I avoid some?
-
Gabe chips can be found at Angrywhiteboy.com (http://Angrywhiteboy.com).
Please, for the safety of others, do not operate heavy machinery while slotting chips from Angrywhiteboy.com (http://Angrywhiteboy.com).
Just kidding, Gab-o. You know we care!
-Kid Vid ;D
-
Hey now, I gave taht drek up a long time ago. When you regularly wake up in polls of vomit, and can't remember if they are yours or not, you kind of decide slotting BTL's is a bad idea. Or you don't in which case no one really cares anyway.
Gabriel
PS - That link was down.
-
I don't think it's suposed to work Gabe :)
-
Well damn. Hey Kid_Vid, :gabe: that's for you. MWAH-HAH-HAH!!!
Gabriel
-
*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.
Thats how you go about getting back at Mr.Vid over there.
Paladin
-
Not a bad idea at all. Of course seeing as how I know drek-all about the matrix I would rather just walk over there and smack him around a bit. Of course, since he's a chummer, I can't do that either. So I guess I'll just have to take my chance with the verbal fencing. Bummer.
Gabriel

I have no idea what you just said ???
-
Just the way it should be. 8)
Paladin
-
Yep, things are right on track.
Jester, I think our first line should be ready next week....I look forward to the first test...
-
Hey Kid_Vid, how does it feel having a bit of friendly nerd competition in the place??? You two going to jack in and have a drool-off??? :drool:
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????
Gabriel (Fight Promoter)
-
Who wants to see the two deckers duking it out on live trid????
That one would my partner, Gimli, not me. Whom, If I remember correctly, Kid met on I don't remember whose Shadowland-Node Board, but it was also back there aways. 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.
I can give him a call though if you'd like?
Paladin
-
Actually I'm thinking about getting a contact of mine to set up a private node for the deckers our little circle of freinds to deck it out in. No pun intended. Who's with me on this one???
Gabriel
-
OK Apoc, think we should test it on these clowns ???
-
They are from the Pub.....big investment...I think we need to stew over it a day or two more....also, the prototype might be finished by then and next week would be the first line... ;D
-
Okies :)
-
I say Next Week that we get a truck and bring it over full of samples so that the Pub crew can inspect....
How about that? ;D
-
Works for me, how does the 24th sound. We can give it to im as x-mas presents :)
-
Works even better. ;D
-
WE RULE!!!!!
-
Yeah you say that now, but that "product" of yours better be good. Oh, and leave the ugly highlighting to me. :P
Gabriel
-
Just you wait and you will be pleasantly surprized or supplied....both words work just fine ;D
-
Oh, and leave the ugly highlighting to me
Don't worry, we will.
-
Oh, and leave the ugly highlighting to me
Don't worry, we will.
[size=10]Just for ROOTless. My biggest fan. Ho, ho, ho, chummer. ;D
Gabriel[/size][/glow]
-
Responce in kind granted.
:root:
-
hey gabe you could always set a playful spirt loose on kid or a gremlin
-
well, it's the twenty fourth...
Paladin
-
25th for me... ;D
-
<Jester walks into the PUb with a bag full. Stands in the middle of the room and startd throwing Twinkie's, Ding-dong's, ho-ho's and every old Hostess product you can think of to every runner in the bar. 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.
NOW APOC AND i RULE THE SUGAR INDUCED WORLD, MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Jester
p.s. I know this was supposed to happen yesterday but I had to work and go to my brother's right after
-
Yeah chummers, enjoy the treats.....and don't forget where you got them, there will be more in the future....Merry X-mas chummers. ;D
-
*starts posting rave reviews under the influence of sugar-induced highs*
-Kid Vid
-
:hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: TOO MUCH SUGAR!!!! I CAN'T STOP BOUNCING!!!! :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:
:hyper: GABRIEL!!! :hyper:
-
Lucky for you we have a scientist in one of our labs trying to develop an anti sugar bouncy pill.....Jester and I have one that works pretty well but it has one nasty side effect.......but please feel free to try...but it might help to try it in the restroom....not sure which end the side effect will come out....ENJOY..
And, we'll be having Twinkies for the rest of the holidays so Happy X-mas and New Years.
-
<picks up a vid camera and starts filming> hehe, research ;)
-
;D How's about Flamin' Clown Treats? ;D
Just thought I'd contribute to the research.
Paladin
-
So is that a trea made of a clown on fire or a what you get from a gay clown??? :zombie: Come on, Neo, answer the question...
Gabriel
-
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.
*Looks at treat, then at them. Repeats several times.Looks up and smirks*
You guys didn't already think of that did you...? :P
Paladin
-
<Jots down flaming clown treats>
-
You know you dodged the question, Neo. More to the point, we know you dodged the question. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Gabriel
-
That'd be the point of a good subject change. That no matter what you were talking about one second ago, you have a new topic now!
-Kid Vid
(my personal favorite was my friend's famous "How does that make you feel?" line that he used every time he wasn't paying attention to a girl, jsut so she'd not know he wasn't paying attention. *grin* We still give him a hard time about that. *grin*)
-
LOLOLOLOL, that's classic. I have to tell my girlfriend about that one.
Gabriel
-
Dodging a question is one thing, saying that it is irrelevant is another.
Paladin
-
LOLOLOLOL, that's classic. I have to tell my girlfriend about that one.
NOOOOOO! Don't say it Gabe! Now they'll know!
-
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.
-
Ha Ha!
:hyper:
Paladin
-
I've seen a lot of situations like that.....I love it when people don't get jokes sometimes...it adds to the fun.. ;D
-
LOL GO RUSKI!!!!!!
-
OMG who are these women you guys are hanging out with, Kid? Hmph giving my gender a bad name...although,
One of da guyz has a woman about as quick on the uptake. After one such display I actually said: Perhaps we should smear her with clue spoor and stand her in the middle of the field as clues swarm during clue mating season. Perhaps then she could catch a clue!
He laughed his ass off - but quietly.
-
where do you work, the local entomology center?
Paladin
-
even better....the local cinema. ;D
-
ya know, I actually have no coment. It's gonna storm out here. <also paddin the stats :) >
-
That's okay Jester.
I have come to regard you as the absolute king of nonsequetors anyway. It all seems like padding, I seldom expect sense from you ;D
Oh, come on you know I have to slam someone besides Gabe once in a while ;)
-
Honestly, this is kind of scewed, because I work with ALL women at the cinemas (which apparently only APOC remembered), and between the sixteen year old girls who have crushes to the 30 year old mexican women with three kids that I'd gladly marry, I have Stories to tell.
Everything from slutty girls to drunks and back again. *grin*
I don't think it's them... apparently I have really high standards.
Zone, how does that make you feel? I swear- if you think I'm joking, try it out! It works like a charm- even Zone could use it on the women around her!
-Kid Vid
-
even better....the local cinema. ;D
I was talking about Zone...
-
I thought you was talking to Kid instead of Zone....my bad....and how could I forget you work at the cinema Kid.....I'm sure it has its advantages.. ;D
-
Oh, come on you know I have to slam someone besides Gabe once in a while ;)
You mean I'm not your only bitch??? :'(
Oh and Kid_Vid, is there any way at all you could get me a 1-sheet of Big Fish???? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!!!
Gabriel
-
Gabe, I'm sure you're still her bitch. I'm just something to keep her ocupied while your gone :)
-
LOL, what an enviable position to be in. ;)
Gabriel
-
I think it's called back-up bitch. ;D you know for when you're away.
-
LOL!!!! So I am the Alpha Bitch (or AB for short) and Jester is the Back-Up Bitch (or the BB)?? Is that it?? I'm not sure how I feel about that. :P
Gabriel, A.B.
-
Well, I guess you should feel good that you numero uno ???
JK ;D
-
Yeah it has it's perks: I'm the first one to get his teeth bashed in. ;D
Gabriel
-
What, you still have teeth?
Zone, are you getting soft here or something?!
:root:
-
No, I think she just has better things to do. ;D
Gabriel
-
Or maybe it hasn't come to his teeth yet. ;D
-
Might very well be.
Oh well, time only will show.
-
The question is do we want it to?
Paladin
-
Well, it would be a good laugh to see an elf drinking a brewski with no teeth...just a thought. ;D
-
haha! toothless elf. I'd pay to see that
Jester, BB
-
Just calm down boys. I'll be happy to slap any one down. Gabe just throws himself in the line of fire more often than not. It's kind of like a moth flying into a candle flame - it isn't really healthy but he just can't help himself
;D
-
Damn, don't I know it. Why do you think I have a built in fire extinguisher???
Gabriel
-
ROFL!!!! you pinned Gabe good on that one, Zone :) That's him to a T ::)
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, kiss my hoop clown. ;) And Zone, I would appreciate it if you would not make any references to moths. I think you know why. :-[
Gabriel
-
no moths? Gabe, you scared of a little old moth ???
-
No, I'm scared of the BIG ONES!!!! (Big moths that is.)
Gabriel
-
No, I'm scared of the BIG ONES!!!! (Big moths that is.)
Gabriel
.. especially the ones who have a tendency to go for the the face.. and what a pretty one it has become.. :) But let's leave the whole moth-thing - been there, done that, sucked face.. ;)
-
:gabe:Flipside
Gabriel
-
He he... sorry.. couldn't help it. But... for real, let's stop this moth train before it starts.. again. Actually it seems to me that someone or something has painted a large neon bulls eye on Gabriel? What is this.. the MIddle Ages?
Maybe it's out of pure respect that people are aiming at you, Gabe. Personally I think that it's gone on long enough.. when each and every thread at some point starts belonging to the "Harass Gabriel"-theme, something is wrong and needs to change.. Have we come so far that we can't discuss serious things without stomping egos or hitting below the belt or whatever?
-
Amen, Brother!!!! Testify!!!!
;D
Gabriel
-
Have we come so far that we can't discuss serious things without stomping egos or hitting below the belt or whatever?
Personally, I'd go with the theory that it's just so tempting, but, whatever toots your horn...
Figuratively, ofcourse.
-
It's all in good fun and Gabe is a cool chummer and it helps to release that stress from work and such. ;D
-
Oh yeah, release your stress by smacking my ego around, huh? Well that's it you bunch of cobbers, Flipside has appealed to my rebellious nature! From this point forward, I am going to shoot Apocalypse any time someone decides to stomp on my ego! So get ready for it Mr. I'm-a-Big-Dragon-and-Don't-Give-a-Frag I'm going to drug you into oblivion! MWAH-HA-HA!!!!!
Gabriel (who just felt like going on a tirade :P)
-
Now, now, don't fall into the trap of being an enabler, Flipside.
;D
-

Shoot him? What with?
Because if you plan to shoot at a dragon with a handgun, I don't think Apoc needs to worry much.
-
It's what's IN the handgun that is worrisome.
Gabriel
-
hahahaha, what's in the gun is just gonna give him gas. and as far as pickin on Gabe goes, he just seams to leave himslef wide open all the time. I'm an equal opertunity slammer. If you leave me an opeing, I'm gonna take it.
-
You still have to break the skin..I'm not too worried. Of course, I could just change my appearance and you could accidently hit somebody else in the put...hehehe.
Of course, I'm gonna get my fair share of punches too... ;D
Let me light that fire again to make you shoot them guns.
:apoc: :gabe: :zombie:
And he's shooting the Pub Mascot...shame on you, Gabe ;D
-
Have we come so far that we can't discuss serious things without stomping egos or hitting below the belt or whatever?
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. I remember when I was it, then eventually somebody else came along and took that place.
Paladin
-
There always will be a scaepegoat... but it's a calling of endearment.
I rememer when Ingo and ROOTless used to mock whatever I said... as did Capt. North, Squire, and even my clone-daddy Ruskiface the Pirate. (my real-life brother)
It's jsut the way these things go...
-Kid Vid
-
I remember bein' that guy. 'Rest of ya can't say you don't remember as well.
Paladin
-
I got it real bad when I first came to the Pub back in the old days when I talked about taking over the world, Japan, etc...I thought everybody was going to rip me apart, etc..those were good times. ;D
-
hahaha, gee brain, what are we gonna do tonight?
-
The same thing we do every night Pinky, Try to take over THE WORLD!
Paladin
-
hehehehehe, I loved that show :)
-
Me too.
Paladin
-
The country western song.....that was a good one. ;D
-
I'd like to thank my momma, and Evlis. ;D
Gabriel (Scapegoat, Baahhh...)
-
So, now that everybody has had some of our Twinkies....we need feedback. ;D
(turns to Jester)
I think I have an idea.
-
ooooo, what would that be big buddy :)
-
That reminds me of something. Has anyone ever seen Dangermouse?
-
Yeah a long time ago. I didn't like it much.
Gabriel
-
That reminds me of something. Has anyone ever seen Dangermouse?
yep I have
-
Dangermouse and the Vampire Duck (I forgot the name) one....those were classics...not everybody like them but they were good.
-
No, but I've seen Deflatermouse on "The Tick" SPOOOOOON!
-
he he he... 'deflatermouse'.. It would actually be more funny if that was his real name.. :) For those of you who don't speak German, it's 'die Flädermaus'.. But oh your god, the Tick is a cool show. It just doesn't stay cool. when it's dubbed ín Danish.. :(
-
Things translated into Japanese happen the same way.....I know the feeling...
I'll tell you in a sec about my plan Jester, I just need to Mindspeak it to you for security reasons.
-
Hey Flipside, good call on the misprint. I was goig to bust him about it, but a) you got there first and b) I have no idea how to spell the character's name. ;D
Gabriel
-
hey, I can't spell for drek, I thought you guys new that already :)
-
<Apoc whispers something in Jeser's ear. He looks at Apoc and walks toward the exit> Be back in a bit guys gotta go take care of somethin
-
or how about couragus cat
-
Personally, even though I was sad not to see the original characters on the live-action version of the Tick, I did think that Batmanuel was fragging awesome!
-Kid Vid
-
never liked the tick just like dont care for bevis and butthead or south park
-
I love my fair share of stupid humor.....that's why it was funny....key wordl....was. ;D

Now, somehow, this reminded of this place, I wonder how/why?
-
Your own personal experiences????
Gabriel
-
<Jesterwalks back into the pub holdng 5 boxes of assorted hostess products and starts passing them out> Gabe, I'm pretty sure everyone owns persinal experiances. ;)
-
Gee, thanks for the Tinkies and philosophy. Mainly the Twinkies. ;D
Gabriel
-
Our company Rocks....Twinkies for life ;D
-
The Twinkie of Gibralter!
Paladin
-
Apoc puts claws together one by one and says,
Excellant! (Mr Burns's style from the Simpsons). ;D
-
oh god simpsons meet shadow run
-
the bringing together of two of the best things in life that should never be brought together... wonder what'll happen.
Paladin
-
haha, we can incorperate Family Guy into this some kind of way too :)
-
and furtrama
-
And give john Lovitz a one time only guest appearance in the first season finale?
Paladin
-
Bite my shiny scaly ass. (Huge Bender fan) ;D
-
LOL, bender rocks big time
-
Two of my favorites are when he became the Pharoah on Osiris 4 planet......and the one where he got shot into space and the asteroid hits him and he plays god and then meets god....Those are pure classics right there. ;D
-
Bender meeting God is totally a plausible explanation.
Paladin
-
altho cycolps gal is cool too
-

"Oh.. someone acting awfully aluminum".. That could've been SR.. A StreetDoc to a twitching StreetSam.. ;D But it's Bender again.. also the episode where he's turned into a human in the What-If-machine... he he.. joy and gorgeousity..
-
Bender meeting God is totally a plausible explanation.
Paladin
heh heh, I didn't say for what though...
Paladin
-
Well, they could communicate in binary code. ;D
-
This is true.
Paladin
-
11100010110001011100001010
-
That reminds me of the Were-car episode...with the writing and then bender reading it in the mirror......ahh..good stuff....I start laughing just thinking about it. ;D
-
i remember that one! it was great. On the family guy subject. I saw the Y2K episode last night when they go sart a town by the twinkie factory after the nuclear holicost. Only 2 things could survive that, roaches and twinkies :)
-
I remember the episode of that one too....Love them Twinkies. ;D
-
mmm... twinkies...
Oh, sorry Kid.
Paladin
-
Okay, now you all are starting to scare me...or was it the Twinkies I was scared of...?
-
Now think about this: a Futurama RPG. I think we all know Zone would end up playing Leela. I'm taking votes on just who would play Fry. ;D
Gabriel (Bender: because it was my idea you wimpy, little meat-bags!!)
-
You suck! But I wouldn't mind to be Professor Farnsworth or Amy.
-
I've always had a soft spot for Doctor Zoidberg.. some of the funniest lines have been uttered by our anatomy-proficient (or not) squidmeister..
-
amy was is cool even if only one eye
-
Nope Lela has one eye. Amy is the suzie. I'll take Lela, thanks ;) I haven't kept up, is Lela still an alien, some one told me she was more of a morlock these days.
-
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.
It was touching, really. Almost made me cry…if I had tear ducts that is. You drippy human water-jockeys. You're always leaking from one orifice or another. Hehehehe.
Bender Rules, Baby!!
(Gabriel)
-
I'm the crazy one, so I guess I'd wind up as Fry. ah well...
-
Chummer, I can see that. Want a tube of Bachelor Chow?? Now go sleep in your roomy closet.
Bender Rules, Baby!!
(Gabriel)
-
I love that show, I swear. I got the first two volumes on DVD and the third comes out in March...
I think I gotta go with the Professor....
That mummy is Teriyaki flavor.....mmm
This is my drawer full of various lengths of wire.
;D
-
LOL, should we get you the glasses to go with the voice???
Gabriel
-
I got the glasses and working on the voice......
Now everybody join me in the bathroom. ;D
-
I call Nibbler.
Paladin
-
you mean the super sophisticated life form sent to watch over earth and protect it from the brain monsters....
-
Yeah, the one that leaves Heavy Matter in its litter box. Stinks like hell, but makes great ship fuel.
Bender
Bender Rules, Baby!!!
-
*BG*
Paladin
-
And they like Feasts too. ;D
-
It's perfect for me.
Paladin
-
lol, awesome
-
We should get a Futurama RPG going if everybody is into it? It could be fun.
-
I'm afraid that I never saw it much after the first season. I don't have it cold the way some of your
geeks gentlemen do ;D
-
Oh yeah, way to throw the "G" Word around you Fema-Nerd. :P
Gabriel
-
She just doesn't want to accept that she is too....at least to us. ;D
-
cmon guys, we're all geeks an we know it. For cryin out loud Gabe, we watched "The Gamers" sunday :)
-
Oh I never denied that. In fact, I enjoy it. It is Zone's denial that got to me. Come on, Zone, listen to Whitney. Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all. :P
Gabriel
-
We'll get her to join us eventually....patience is the key. ;D
-
yes, she will join the darkside, muahahahahahahaha!!!!!
-
Oh I never denied that. In fact, I enjoy it. It is Zone's denial that got to me. Come on, Zone, listen to Whitney. Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all. :P
Gabriel
I never denied being a geek myself - but there are degrees ;D I was actually quite disappointed I did not score very high on the geek test we had on here a while back :(
And FYI I used to work at a busy concert venue and one night we had booked the Houston woman. GAK! Zero stage presence, zero personality, zero charisma. It was like someone set the radio to easy listening and we couldn't shut it off! :P :P :P :P :P
-
my deepsest apologies for your torment
-
Mine too..have a Twinkie. ;D
-
yea! Eat a Twinkie!

Oh, now that's just cruel, guys. You know I'm a scooter pie girl. :(

heh heh ;D

So many comments... must maintane control... :banghead:

zone you should know better than to throw out a unquantifyed comment like that
-
Oh, now that's just cruel, guys. You know I'm a scooter pie girl. :(
um, what's a scooter pie?
-
We never cross onto the other side of snacks. What is a scooter pie?

Come on! Have you never heard of "scooter pie" (damn.. another OO-word I missed on my other list..). Think, man! What is an 'apple pie'? Pie with apples in it.... 'Cream pie'? Pie with cream in it.. 'scooter pie'.. I think you get the point.. :)
Although you may need serious dental surgery after you've eaten it.. :)
-
Ahhh....a scooter pie...yeah, a scooter pie....nah....nope....I still never heard of it but I think I get the point...got a link or picture?
The only scooter I know is the motorized version...but after I catch on then I'll probably slap myself. ;D
-
Yes! That's exactly what I'm talking about... Just check this link out:

He he... :P
-
Okay....I with you know....scooter pie, I just thought there was a catch.
-
ooohhhhh! ok, gotcha
-
Speaking of Scooter Pies, has anyone seen our resident Femme Fatal lately????
Gabriel
-
She must be busy again with that little thing called LIFE. She'll be around in a week or so more than likely.
-
zone you should know better than to throw out a unquantifyed comment like that
Are you kidding - this is one of my subtlest forms of torture ;D
Oh and BTW: www.littledebbie.com/products/ChocPies.asp
**Nice that I was missed. Just my life interfereing with my preferences again ;)
-
Ah that's just a miniature Moon-Pie. You should let me and Jester know the next time you want one of those little things. We have access to tons of Moon-Pies since we live in Cajun Country.
Gabriel
-
Ahh...a moon pie...I guess different names in different areas. I just never heard it called a scooter pie. Live and learn I guess. ;D
-
No, what Zone has is the little, pathetic version of a Moon-Pie. I was offering to send her the real thing if she wants it.
Gabriel
-
Exactly, nothing like a good Moon Pie.....man I used to love those things....remember the one with the banana cream inside....oh yeah, now that was good stuff.
-
That and a Dr. Pepper and you can qualify for entrance into the National Order of Rednecks. :P
Gabriel
-
Nah, I'm a city boy....
-
how you get redneck outa that, gabe?
-
How do I get Redneck out of a Moon-Pie and Dr. Pepper?? Come on Jester, haven't you been paying attention?? I grew up the same place you did, after all. Of course, I'm not saying there's anything WRONG with being a redneck. I just don't like sleeping with my sister. :P
Gabriel (Who knows Jester like Moon-Pies and Dr. Peppers, that's why I said it)
-
How are we suppose to get a joke if you're the only one who has the details?
-
I just don't like sleeping with my sister. :P
Gabe, one good reason for not making odd cracks about this, other than the obvious "it's too damn easy!"?
-
You know you're a redneck when...
1. You take your dog for a walk and you both use the same tree.
2. You can entertain yourself for more than an hour with a fly swatter.
3. Your boat has not left the driveway in 15 years.

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.

somebody's been listening to jeff forxworthy again. My favorite is......when you walk your son to school because you're in he same grade :)
-
You know what's really scary; I have relatives that qualify for a few of those. :-\
Gabriel
-
that is scary...but then you lived on the West bank so I'm not suprised ;D
-
So I assume there is a big difference between the East & West sides?
-
it's an aold joke around here, if you live on the west bank of the Mississippi river, then you're expected to have very little teath and use white rubber boots for your normal foot atire. And all us normal people live on the east bank.
-
Actually, chummer, you would have to live here to understand. The West Bank is actually on the east side of the river. Have fun with that little fact, we do. :P
Gabriel
-
LOL, I think I can understand that though.. ;D
-
congratulations, even people who live here don't :)
-
Ahh, touche! ;D
-
and also, yeas. Half the people around here are stupid rednecks. Trying to explain something like that too them will make their brain hurt and get me really agrivated "But weez on da west bank, dat's what ma maw done told me..."
-
I have my fair share of laughs today, I'm going to sleep before I stay up too late, laughing. ;D
-
That made you laugh??? It made me cry. Of course, it brought back flashbacks of my highschool days, so maybe I have a reason to cringe. :P
Gabriel
-
Like I said, I was tired and easily able to giggle at any little thing ;D
-
That made you laugh??? It made me cry. Of course, it brought back flashbacks of my highschool days, so maybe I have a reason to cringe.
Yeah, I do believe I see you point. Might make me laugh too, if I was in the right mood, but it'd be taht sort of desperate laughter you get when someone reminds you why you stopped being a pessimist.
Namely, I kept finding out I'd really been an optimist all along.
:root:
-
Most pessimist (spell?) find out that they really were optimists all along but stress/depressing makes them think otherwise..if that string of words made sense but I read something about it somewhere.
-
made complete sense to me
-
I always thought those guys were the cynics?
and from what I've seen (which is moderately limited. not too much though...) West banker's aren't all that bad. Its the folks from chalmette that you have to watch out for. Though, thats NO area, and I'm LA/BR/LC area.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
Gabriel
-
yea, the wonderful chalamtions. They call those white rubber boots people wear chalmete reeboks. Plus you got thetoothless jokes and stuff like that. Never been there, but I go to the west bank alot and at least around here the rumers aren't true for the most part.
-
Of course they aren't. Just look at his spelling. That proves he has an education. ;D
Gabriel (waiting for the flame)
-
Unlike who, Gabe?
;)
-
hukt on fonix wurkt fore mi
-
Wow, I could actually read that. Hey, Jester, did you introduce out Twinkie line yet?
-
oh no, I got all cought up in the conversation. WEll, <ahem> out new line of twinkies, called Smiley Cakes, went mainstream about a week ago. And buisness is really good. And on that note, I'm anouncing my retirement from running. Only way I'll ever go out again is if you guys need my help. Otherwise I'm managing my company from right here on my laptop :) Cheers
-
And we're giving the Pub customers a slight discount.
-
Approximately 0.001%, if I read the files on your machine correctly.
Or where you going to change that?
-
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?
Paladin
-
um, ok...we were just gonna charge you guys less. how that got out I have no idea...
-
*shrug* hey, least it's no longer in enemy hands...
Paladin
-
god forbid ;)
-
Don't worry we're taking care of you guys......no worries, no death plots, and no side schemes, nothing but the discount. ;)
-
Says he grinning dragon....
Gabriel
-
Just don't worry about the rest, Jester and I will take care of that...just worry about the discount ;)
-
yea, we gots da hookup
-
And more ;D
-
Then why did I just get taht cold chill down my spine??
Gabriel
-
Then why did I just get taht cold chill down my spine??
Gabriel
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.
-
Why is everybody so suspicious?
-
I think it's cause you're a Dragon, chummer.
Even if you are a friend, we all heard the line "Never deal with a dragon!"
-Kid Vid
-
talk about a buncha paranoid people, sheesh. I'm rethinking that discount...
-
hey, should you expect anything less. I myself would almost be sort of disappointed.
Paladin
-
Yeah, no kidding...here I am trying to give dragons a good name and they can't even take a simple discount....maybe we should just charge them regular price or more since they are our chummers.
-
I say give um a 5% hike in price
-
You try that, chummer, and you will forget the last week. Got it??
Gabriel
-
oooohhhhh! he thinks he's a bad man! He forgets who my conections are eh :) Alrighty then, keep it up and you'll be ass deep in ninjas ;D
-
OOH! I found this great clan when I was captured by Ryomo once! Lemme find the Shihan's card...
Paladin
-
Well, we'll give you a discount if you can show up their card....all ninja clan cards get an automatic discount.
-
For obvious reasons...
Gabriel
-
ROFLMAO!!!!!
-
wow... you'd think a Pub would be buzy on St. Patty's day...
Guess not... :'(
-
Well, that was yesterday (don't forget that I'm a day ahead of everybody) for me and I had my fair share ;D
-
Sorry chummer. I passed out about 9:30 in the morning after a long, interesting date with a chica I ran into down in Snohomish. You know, for being a bunch of bigets, those girls out there love a good elf once in a while...
Gabriel
-
And now, Jester, what really happened?
-
...those girls out there love a good elf once in a while...
Gabriel
A good elf? So what possible use were you?
:P
-
Any time you want to find out, you just let me know, toots. :P
Gabriel
-
That's a good chance to smite him, zone ;D
-
What for? He has every right to insult everyone after spending time on St. Patty's days with BIGETS!!! (That's a bigoted midget, right?)
Angry short people!
-Kid Vid ;D
-
only on tuesdays
-

LOL, you got karma for that one chummer. And I only spent the night before with a bigot. And I have to say, she was one slippery slitch. Nothing like partying with a bim who knows she should be doing it. ;D
Gabriel
PS - She was 5'-3".
-
I'm pretty short myself...I only get up to about 5' 9" aprox. give or take an inch or two...I'm 172cm..I've basically converted to metric...makes it easier.
-
And here I thought you were a few dozen feet long from nose to tail. Go figure...
Gabriel
-
Nah. Smites are only called if you issue a bit more invective than just a lot of hot air. ;)
-
Don't you mean hot pixels?? This is a computer, after all.
Gabriel
-
That's in full free form...when I change...I prefer shorter heights...like to make people think they have the upper hand.
-
yea, then you bite their heads off! muahahahahahaha!
-
Exactly....it's a great gag at parties. ;D
-
hey, considering this is a neverending party and gabe is standin right there...
-
You have your reality and I have mine, Gaby ;)
**Waits expectantly for Apoc party gag**
-
Let's see if I can start this out right...
-
<Stands back and pulls out micro recorder>
-
{Gabriel, sitting at the bar, doesn'te ven turn around. "You know, Scales, I know where all of those Twinkie factories are. And I've left instructions with certain interested parties as to the codes and weak point in all of the security. So if you really want to try that little trick of yours out, go right ahead. I hope you like eating Soy-Ho-Ho's from now on." 8)}
Gabriel
-
he's bluffing
-
Well, then you should like my head snapping trick coming up? I'm not worried about the factory especially since you ate some of the Twinkies we gave everyone here (except ROOT) of course... we can take of you anytime ;D
-
{keeps drinking his beer}
Gabriel
-
lol
-
Gotta love them Twinkies.
-
Are you sure that's mandatory scales?
I mean, yeah, sure, they're nice and all, but "got to like"?
What sort of punishment are we looking at for people who don't?
;)
-
I mean, I know not everybody likes them but usually people enjoy them especially after Jester's patented Twinkie Pie.
I wouldn't punish anybody just over a Twinkie even though it is tempting.. ;D
-
especially the pie :)
-
I believe I should point out: Jester has never MADE a Twinkie Pie. To date, there is only one runner who has...
Gabriel
-
and what's your point, still my invention :)
-
Just thought you should actually try your invention Dr. Frankenstien. Personally, I am not going to make it again: too much work. Next time I am going to use the same ingerdiants and put the Twinkies on sticks. Then dip them in the mousse and sprinkle the pie crust crumbs over them. Should be good.
Gabriel
-
you got my mouth watering...I might have to make one shortly.
-
sweet dude, sounds good too. pie on a stick
-
LOL, and that's cutting me own throat, that is. ;)
Gabriel
-
LOL, and that's cutting me own throat, that is
Well, that'd save someone else a bit of time you know, mr. Dihb Lah
-
Well remembered, Rootless.
Gabriel
-
But ofcourse.
Besides, my girlfriend's entire collection is less than 6 feet from me where i sit.
-
rofl, I cought it, that was a good one gabe :)
-
But ofcourse.
Besides, my girlfriend's entire collection is less than 6 feet from me where i sit.
I remember those days..lol...not yours but mine ;D
-
Does she have The Last Hero???
Gabriel
-
Not yet.
Don't know when she'll pick it up.
-
I take it that's his new one? I still gotta read 5th elepant and Night Watch
-
I do believe so.
-
Well, then you should like my head snapping trick coming up? I'm not worried about the factory especially since you ate some of the Twinkies we gave everyone here (except ROOT) of course... we can take of you anytime ;D
May I point out that I have not/will not be eating any Twinkies or Twinkie derivitives. I am in fact the underground anti Twinkie cell leader. Or should I have kept that quiet? :P
-
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.
Gabriel (book critic)
-
cool, then what's his latest?
-
Flipside, did you read "Pattern Recognition" yet?
-
cool, then what's his latest?
Wee Free Men and Night Watch I believe. I have them both if you would like to check them out. And by that I mean Check Them Out, not borrow them. My rates are reasonable, but my late fees are a bitch. ;)
Gabriel
-
How much are the late fees? ;D
-
I thought Last Hero was after those?
They've hit the selves here already, I don't think Last Hero has, yet.
-
No, last Hero was first. I remember reading it and thinking he needed to do a better job next time. And then Night Watch came out. Maybe there is a publishing concern for Last Hero for European release??
Gabriel
-
I really need to catch up on my reading and posting those pictures too.
-
Wee Free Men and Night Watch I believe. I have them both if you would like to check them out. And by that I mean Check Them Out, not borrow them. My rates are reasonable, but my late fees are a bitch. ;)
Gabriel
I have Night watch. Don't have Wee Free Men. I'll get back with you on borowing it though since I just started Fifth Elephant and have Night Watch to read after that one :)
-
Flipside, did you read "Pattern Recognition" yet?
Nope... But I'm gettin' to it... After all - I have to (re)read his entire works before I have anything useful to say about them in my thesis... ;)
-
OH, Jester, I was mistaken. Monsterous Regiment is his latest book. It was ok, but not that great.
Gabriel
-
[Nope... But I'm gettin' to it... After all - I have to (re)read his entire works before I have anything useful to say about them in my thesis... ;)
I bought it some weeks back, you can borrow/have it when she's done reading it. Deal?
-
Yup... it's a deal... thanks buddy.. :) Just let me know when she's done... no rush.. REALLY no rush (when I start reading, there's no turning back..)
-
(when I start reading, there's no turning back..)
Yeah, I know what you mean...I usually become obsessed with whatever book I'm reading and at the moment I read every free minute I can... ;D
-
Yup... it's a deal... thanks buddy.. :) Just let me know when she's done... no rush.. REALLY no rush (when I start reading, there's no turning back..)
So ka.
-
Yeah, try reading the first 7 books in the Wheel of Time in one go. THAT was tiring... :-\
Gabriel
-
no way I could do that...
-
It took a while, but was worth it. OF course right after that he started sucking really bad. So a bunch of work for nothing. :'(
Gabriel
-
Nothing? Would you rather have been without? Whatever you do and whatever you read, has an impact on your life and your outloook on life in general...
So whatever you do, you're not reading anything for nothing... Even if it starts to suck, you still got a few good moments you'll remember..
It reminds me of a quote: "Even bad books are books and therefore sacred"...
-
I have to agree.
*I have to sober up soon...I hate tryig to typle blind...I will stopp posting here.......I'll write why in my journaal.
;D
-
<starts moving around alot> so, want some octopus?
-
I had plenty actually....I'm sober now...it was fun though.
-
lol, it is actually pretty good
-

Oh they were pretty damn good for a while and I enjoyed them, but after he lost his talent, well, it was worthless. Oh, and just because it was a book does not make it sacred. I mean, look at William Shatner's autobiography... ;)
Gabriel
-
The Great Captain Kirk! HOW DARE YOU MAKE A MOCKERY OF THE GREATEST HERO THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN.. ahem... :P
You're right.. Shatner in book-form I can do without.. :)
-
But still, I mean... it's a book, you know...
Books, I mean...
-
Sorry chummer. That just means you're a fanatic at this point. Step back, take a deep breath, and think take a fresh look around.
Gabriel
-
Yeah, I still don't understand that to this day...
-
Who was it who said
"I detest what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."?
or something along those lines.
If Howard Stern didn't have free speach, Joseph Smith never would've had the right to do what he did. I'm VERY anti-censorship... but that's me.
I don't like all books, but I do try and revere them as something that people have put effort into... and therefore deserve a little respect... even if they do keep letting Madonna write them.
-Kid Vid
-
Why things are censored I will never know either..I think it is all up to the person because they don't have to watch that show, read that book, or listen that music etc....
Censorship is BAD.
-
I'll tell ya why things are cencored in one word, Christians
-
Kid_Vid, you are thinking of John Wilks Booth. He was the one who said that. Oh, wait, no he was the one who said, "I didn't kill the president!! It was the one-armed man!!!" ;)
Gabriel
-
Yep, I think you hit the nail on the head....religion...no offense to anybody out there..just an opinion.
-
Bruce Campbell's advice to anyone who wants to be famous:
"Kill a president."
-Kid Vid
-
Is there anything that Bruce can't do?
Bruce da man.
-
Bruce can't... he can't... well shit, I guess there really ISN't anything he can't do...
Gabriel
-
He can't lick his own elbow... neither can you... I'll bet you almost anything... :) But on the other hand.. I really don't want to know if you can.. he he.
-
Bruce can find a way :)
-
He can't lick his own elbow... neither can you... I'll bet you almost anything... :) But on the other hand.. I really don't want to know if you can.. he he.
Well, if Jester don't mind a little pain, I'm sure licking his own elbow will be an option. Just need a slight bit of violence...
-
Hey Jester,
Put a space or press enter on your signature...it's streching the page..just to let you know.
-
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.
-Kid Vid
-
That's true too but usually the main cause is from religion or the conditioning from religion...or politics too but it usually stems from religion...
-
He can't lick his own elbow... neither can you... I'll bet you almost anything... :) But on the other hand.. I really don't want to know if you can.. he he.
Just ask my girlfriend... ;)
Gabriel
-
Then tell her to post and we can her ;D
-
oooo, bendy girl. Yea post it :)
-
Bendy girl????
Gabriel
-
Oh they were pretty damn good for a while and I enjoyed them, but after he lost his talent, well, it was worthless.
Gabriel
Agreed. He lost his direction and is now apparently in it for the money rather than the story... You can't convince me to read another one though.
-
Maybe it was a nickname if she can lick her elbow ;D
-
must be double joint or a cortorsantist
-
or just special ;)
-
Maybe it was a nickname if she can lick her elbow ;D
Oh, she can't lick her own elbow. I was talking about me. ;) But you will have to ask her about that all the same.
Gabriel
-
how bout all 3
-
Oh, she can't lick her own elbow. I was talking about me. ;) But you will have to ask her about that all the same.
Do I even want to hear the story behind this?
-
Yes, you do ;D
-
You know Apoc, worst thing is, you're right.
-
Ok, well her you go then: One night we were lying in bed, and she turns to me and says, "So how long :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:?"
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.
So now you have a story to tell your children.
Gabriel
-
but you cut out all the good parts ;)
-
yea! cheater!
-
You're fraggin right I did. If youw ant the full story, well, tough drek. That's between me and my honey. :hyper:
Gabriel
-
Had to try at least. ;D
-
I think he was lying. He made the whole thing up. He's just not creative enough to fill in the blanks :)
-
Chummer, I am so not falling for that. If you want details, ask my chummerette.
Gabriel
-
Then you got to tell her to post ;) but that will happen about as fast as my wife posting. I got her to set up the account but then she messed up 3 times (so-Ingo was nice to nuke all of them) and hasn't returned since.
-
http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3
-
ROOTless, you have a very interesting take on American politics. :-\
And Apoc, did your wife ever get around to doing the character sketches of us pub members????
Gabriel
-
ROOTless, you have a very interesting take on American politics
Not mine, sorry to disappoint you. I just saw the comic, and thought of you ;)
-
She's been working with it when she has time but it's still nothing to see yet. I think she draws/sketches a line every 3 months.. since she started work last year then she doesn't have a lot of time for it. One day, I'm sure that she will finish it. ;D
-
ROOTless, you have a very interesting take on American politics
Not mine, sorry to disappoint you. I just saw the comic, and thought of you ;)
Now that was funny :)
-
I don't get it... ???
Gabriel
-
He posted a link to a Penny Arcade comic- unfortunatley, he posted a link for "Today", so it's the most current comic.
He meant This one: http://penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2004-04-14&res=l (http://penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2004-04-14&res=l)
(Yeah! I'm a republican!)
-Kid Vid
-
I didn't know it updates like that...
-
Exactly. I meant to delete the post afterwards, but forgot, so thanks for putting up the correct link Kid.
-
How am I not surprised that Kid_Vid is for a government that gives you a "shot in the mouth"?? And you people say I'm a pervert...
Gabriel
-
well, because you are...
-
Well...frag. You may be right. But I'm not voting for taking a shot in the mouth.
Gabriel
-
lol! I hear ya on that one bro
-
Here here!
Gabriel
-
True. ;D
-
I notice Kid_Vid is being uncharacteristiclly quiet on this subject...
Gabriel
-
you scared him off
-
last i spoke to him he has been real busy
-
Did he mention what he was busy with?
-
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.
Gabriel
-
Tell him I sent him him a 'Oh, poor baby :('
unless his wife is touchy about such things
-
Yeah, Gabe, I'm game for anything..let me know when you are planning it and I'll hurry up and send your package to you or some money etc... I've been trying to get the good snacks during the season, etc. Let me know what you'r thinking and I'll help out.
-
same here bro, I'm in
-
Hey chummers, e-mail me about this again. I will be leaving the state on Friday, so do it soon.
Gabriel
-
Woah, I'm glad you said something....almost slipped my mind to that Things to do list.
-
Thanks all- I remembered making an ew topic so you could all put up your condolensces for Ruski, but... that was in the week that got lost... as was my message confirming what Gabe said.
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.
-Kid Vid
-
Are rhe pins and rods permanent?? If not, ask if you can keep them when they are removed. You'd hate to give someone a ritual likn like that.
Gabriel
-
if ruski was smart he would make sure they were destroyed
-
why's that?
-
I think he's planning on keeping them... not only would his wrist do bad things if he ever took them out, but he finally has an way to get through airport security... with cyber spurs!!!
-Kid Vid
-
Yeah, depending on the types they put in then yep they are perm. I had a friend that shattering both arms. But they might use those plastic kinds too.
-
and if they were ment to come back out excellent ritural sorcery matierial
-
I just noticed that we lost our Futurama thread :'(
-
Hey Kid-Vid, find out what they are made out of. If they are titanium, then he has a built in blackjack.
Gabriel
-
Hey Kid-Vid, find out what they are made out of. If they are titanium, then he has a built in blackjack.
Gabriel
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.
Gabriel
-
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.
Gabriel
-
or it might be that kind of plastic...I forgot the name.
-
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.
-
Bone lacing anyone???
Gabriel
-
Would you look scared if I told you there are people working on it?
-
They've been working on it for a while at least according to some articles that I read a while back.
-
wait, we talking IRL?
-
Yeah, Jester, I think we are. And I wouldn't be a bit surprised if some one was developing this. It boggles my mind how many people forget that yesterday's comic book nerd is today's research scientist/military weapons designer. Hell, I can think of a few ways to do retractable spurs right off the top of my head. And if I can think of it, then a scientist could easily creat it.
Gabriel
-
i forget who said it but todays science fiction is tommorws reality
-
Yeah, I heard that line too somewhere....or something like Today's Future is Tomorrom's Reality.
-
just 100 years ago a space travel was conscider sci fi
-
Well, a hundred years ago was 1904, so that makes sense. Thinking that as far as fifty years ago, people laughed at Ray Bradbury when he said we'd land on the moon someday.
I hear he kept a notebook with the names of everyone who laughed at him at that party and called them up the night we first landed on the moon to insult them. I like that guy.
-Kid Vid
-

-Kid Vid
Now, that would be fun......
-
that reminds me of the guy in "Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy" going around insulting everyone in the universe.
-
Man, I still have not read that....I should and want to....
-
I highly reccommend everything except for the last book.
I think Douglas Adams should've quit with the ending he had when Marvin the Paranoid Android died.
The fifty-foot tall fire letters of God's Last message to all his creations.
"Sorry for the Inconvinience."
-Kid Vid
-
See, I've heard all about it but never read it.
-
I've never finished them. I let a friend borrow it and haven't seen them since. :-\
-
Well, that sucks...was it Gabe..just kidding....with him being gone, it's so easy to make fun of him.
-
lol, no. it was a guy I worked with. he got fed up one day and quit. I need to call him
-
See, I helped you remember something ;D
-
It's a worthy investment... even if you have to buy them again.
Has anyone read "Long, Dark Tea Time of the Soul?" Is it any good?
-Kid Vid
-
I never heard of it...what's it about?
-
Has anyone read "Long, Dark Tea Time of the Soul?" Is it any good?
's not bad. Not "Hitchickers", but if you've already read the first of the Dirk Gently's, you should have a fair idea what you're in for.
-
See, I prefered Red Dwarf to the the Hitchiker books. I'm not sure why.
Gabriel
PS - I think I read them before Jester, but since I didn't know him at the time, it's hard to be certain.
-
yea you did read them before me. And lee keep's tellin me about red dwarf. Gotta pick that up one day. Who wrote it?
-
I forget, but remember, you can only get books 3 & 4 overseas. So if you like the first two, you are going to have to visit Amazon to find the others. I still have yet to get them. :'(
Gabriel
-
I guess eventually I'll pick them up myself....I have so many books that I want that I just haven't bought yet.
-
Good news everyone, I got my book back :)
-
Yay!!!!....Can I borrow it?.....just kidding. ;D
-
Good for you, Jester. Now all you have to do is get me that copy of Jen Ro and you will be golden.
Gabriel
-
Don't forget about me
-

With a wet Zone then we should get some good laughs now. ;)

***When I catch my breath someone please tell why I don't want to get me a troll skin coat***
-
:o She didn't kill him!!! Great flamin' cat wiskers!!! He's still alive!!! :o Now I've seen everything...
Gabriel
-
That is a surprize. But, she might look good in a troll-skin coat. Then I can show off my dragon size jacket too ;D
-
simple zone its my reward for being so audaious
-
Maybe she is just waiting for her new T-Bird to get in so she can shoot you with something that hurts.
Gabriel
-
Is that drones behind you, Mercy? ???
-
I know why I hesitate to move on Mercy - I'm never sure what the hell he just said...gotta get me one of them troll edition dictionaries ;)
Just ignore the slight hum that you might hear Mercy, I'm sure its nothing. And the clicking noise certainly isn't a pincer arm extending....
-
I know why I hesitate to move on Mercy - I'm never sure what the hell he just said...gotta get me one of them troll edition dictionaries ;)
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
-
SPeaking of which, is there Troll linguasoft out there?? Or just glitched versions of English that get sold as Troll linguasoft??
Gabriel
-
ah just the thing zone thanks for the back scratcher :)
-
He gotcha there, Z-Girl. Like I said, youbetter just go get a T-Bird.
Gabriel
-
A T-bird for what? ???
-
A T-bird for what? ???
To smite him, the really painfull way.
-
Thanks, Ingo, I would hate to have to explain that to him.
Gabriel
-
Ahh..where was my brain on that...well, it was about 3 am. ;D
-
yeah, yeah, yeah. Likely story.
Gabriel
-
Ahh..where was my brain on that...
In a jar labeled Abby... Something.

I left it bread cupboard...... ;D

-
See, even Root supports it
-
that would be funny ;D
-
Anyway, who the hell is actually in the pub right now that isn't passed out on a table???
Gabriel
-
*raises hand* Yo.
-Kid Vid
-
I thouhgt you were still knocked out from my flash-pack. Oh well. I know we have several who have drank themselves under the table: Janus, Eve, Kage, Squire, etc. Anyone know how we can get them back up and around???
OOC: How the hell do we get our MIA chummer back and posting???
Gabriel
-
Email them and ask them them how they're doing?
-
Maybe...
Gabriel
-
I still here
-
I got kind of lost where everybody was at too. I usually hear from Kage but he's been busy. I emailed him just waiting for a reply. ;D
-
Anyway, who the hell is actually in the pub right now that isn't passed out on a table???
Why would I be.
-
Well you never have said what you are doing in the Pub, ROOTless. As far as we know, you are just lurking around near the bathroom. You sicko...
Gabriel
-
Ever wonder why Gabe thinks everyone is a 'sicko'?
I mean, he's the one with all the fetishes right?
eheheheh jk Gabe! :)
-
It better be a joke! You don't want me to bitchslap you again! >:( Damn right! Respect the Gabriel!!
Now that THAT is out of my system, just because a guy likes women in sexy undeis, painted blue, calling him Paulie is no reason to say he is into fetishes. ;)
Gabriel
-
He's sitting at the bar, way back in the back, listening and watching. I think he said that a while back.
-
I'm out in the open with the rest of you clowns mixin it up
-
Yeah, about to get schooled at Poker.
Gabriel
-
We'll see. I used to play alot.
-
I don't play much, but it's somethig to do
-
We'll get em. ;D
-
yep, you're gonna kick my ass :-\
-
I'll sure try. ;D
-
Well so far, you are the only two. That really sucks.
Gabriel
-
WEll if we're going to play poker its not going to be that no-peekie-spit- in- the- ocean bull drek. Fraggin 5 card draw. The way poker was meant to be played! Hats on, backs against the wall! Six shooters on the table!
-
Is there any other way to play???
Gabriel
-
Yeah, but they usually suck.
-
5 Card is the only way to play poker?
Do you even know the rules to Texas Hold-em?
I'm in for whatever. I can wager some newyen... I just got paid for modding a simdeck so the user can steal bandwidth from a Matrix bunraku parlour. ;D So I'm all up on my good deeds for the month, too.
-Kid Vid
-
texas holdum is good for me, it's just a variation of 5 card
-
So do we have enough people yet?
-
I'm thinking 5-card stud, nothing wild. But I have such a limited grasp of poker that I know no other variations.
Gabriel
-
Suicide Kings, Fours & Whores, One-eyed Jacks, Deuces, gotta throw the wilds out there just for a toss up.
-
I hate wild cards - in poker and in life - they're just an annoyance that draws fire
-
I'm with Z on this one. SO let's continue this in the other thread.
Gabriel
-
How's poker going?

Fair, Zone seems to be MIA for the moment, but so far so good.

pulling out the various peaces of electronic equipment he starts to work in earnest on the hardware.

Actually, Ruski wasn't posting on the board again yet, and I didn't know enough about Futurama (I had only seen it once or twice by that point) to jump in and claim a spot.

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.
Sorry if offence was given Zone, it was unintended, my gf and haven't been having a very good week.

that alwies makes thease arguments so much more interesting.

well comments like that won't help it get more interesting fast.
-RuskIFace the Pirate
-
conversating is fun
-
LOL...
-
most of the time. unless it gets into polotics or religion.
then it gets painfull sometimes.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
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.
-Kid Vid
-
"I guess the Anti-Christ is getting re-elected."
Ooooh, I heard this one too the other day!
The answer was prompt: "No, according to Nostradamus, anitchrist's going to come from the middle east."
"Oh, have you looked at Texas recently? If you didn't know better, and we re-decorated a bit, how'd you tell the difference?"
-
Perhaps Nostradamous wasn't good at dirrections.
it is takeing him awhile for everything to come true.
-RuskiFace the PIrate
-
Exactly
-
Or,... it could be that perhaps so many people that went to war in the middle east were from texas,... and in the middle east is where they picked up the evil artifact that started the artafact posession cycle...
except bush was only in the national guard, and from what i hear he didnt' do much in it.
-RuskIFace the Pirate
-
The middle east is basically from Turkey to India.
This includes Iraq and Afganistan.
-
he didnt say when only where
-
perhaps he didn't take into account the spinning of the earth?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
thats the bad thing about phopets they cant tell you when
-
lol and not to start talking about religon, but another bad part could be the 'totally made up' part.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
this is trure and there are some mighty peculuir beliefs out ther
-
let's switch the tone of this conversation quick though. that's an unhealthy subject.
so, who likes demolition derby?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Oh...I haven't seen one in ages.
-
i wanna go to a car rental place and see if i can enter one.

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 was talking about Nostradamus.
-Kid Vid
-
Hey, where the hell is Gabe? I haven't seen him in here for a while.
If he doesn't get back soon I'm gonna have to start pickin' on one of you guys....
-

-Kid Vid
-
That's cool..I'm used to it from my wife so Zone should be a blowover.
-
I still haven't heeard from Gabe. I e-mailed him before halloween but got nothin. So no idea what to tell you.
-
I know that Ingo emailed him and got a reply but I don't know how long ago that was. ???
-
yea, I got one a good while ago but he started posting again after that but it only lasted a couple weeks.
-
bah, picking on married guys is too easy for ya' zone.
it's like shooting fish in a barrel... or if you prefer something even easyer than that:
Depressing Teenagers.
*shrug* i think that you have more skill than that. go after one of the single guys with an ego.
-RuskiFace the Pirate

-Kid Vid

-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
haha, I'm not that big
-
well, perhaps you could put them on your head, and have two people each grab a pant leg and dance arround?
-RuskiFace the Pirate

Now we're talking. ;D

CRAZY TALK!
it's the best talk i talk.
-RuskiFace the Pirate

Also, the Billy Madison movie.

I liked Happy Gilmore better.

Talking about old flat-vid movies like that makes me sentamental.
some classics are just great.
Now, who's going to help me hack this satalite feed?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Nudie Magazine day.
-
Not if i don't get this feed up and running.
someone want to go set up a relay for me?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
another classic was the moive Mash
-
I'll set up the relay. I can handle stuff like that.
Aparently that's all a Doctorate in Matrix Communications is good for. ;D
-Dr. Vid
-
I guess You ppl have never got a chance to see the flat vid M.A.S.H.
-
Nah, but if you want i'll download it so everyone here has to watch it.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
go for it
-
so, did you actually go to classes to get your degree kid? or just hack the server?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
nope got it from the bubblegum machine
-
*shrug* in that case, i hope you busted open the front of it and didn't waste a quarter.
-RuskiFace the Pirate

Hey I like gum....pass some over here. ;)
-
it may taste like paper...
they don't seperate the candy from the deploma...

-
No... the uber-high security program at the Kennecott Mountain Facility that Saeder Krupp kept me in trained me...
I didn't even know I had a doctorate until one of the recent corporate scream-sheets they sent to the nearest Saeder Krupp facility trying to locate me listed it among my 'assetts'
-Dr. Vid
-
Dear Dr. Vid,
I have this rash....but I'm not sure what it is or where it came from...err...I take that back...I think it had to do with the pie fight.
-
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.
last year i got my PhD. in Evil-Oligy
-RuskiFace the Pirate. aka Dr. Evil.
-
Hey what about my rash? ;)
-
That's not my virus.
i think you got it fron the sigon whore.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
you know, the one that bit off your nose.
-
I don't mess with whores...I'm a bit higher class than that ;)
-
Yeah, he just eats Call Girls. NOT whores! ;)
Gabriel
-
whole strip clubs?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
only after he rocks the gonge. Then he has the munchies.
-
And since he is in Japan, he is just going to be hungry again an hour later. ;D
Gabriel
-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
THis is the best topic derailment EVER! I'm never letting anyone delete it!
-Kid Vid
-
It's become part of the Pub....
Also, Japan is populated enough to fulfill my hunger needs. ;D
-
i dunno... looks like most everyone is kinda skiney little ninjas.
you'd have to eat a whole bushel of them as an eantrea.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
lol, wrapped in seaweed and rice
-
Your stomach adjusts to the size of the food...keeps me slim...sort of ;)
-
well, i think it would be like eatting celery or drinking cold water.
after you take into account the amount of energy your body has to use to catch/dijest them, it's actually got negative calories.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Most would think that was a good thing, these days...
-
I suppose so.
We could hold a rally though, and try to get the old days back.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Change is inevitable...and needed. ;D
-
Yea, i suppose so.
but we can still whine about it.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Well, if we couldn't whine then it wouldn't be fun ;D
-
If we couldn't whine about it, we wouldn't have anything at all to do.
-RuskiFace the Whiner
-
True..hence no fun ;D
-
Plus, if i didn't have here to talk, i would have to go back and do work durring the day. and there is no fun in that.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Probably the same for me ;D
-
Well I can't believe I'm the only one who sees te advanntage of eating a japanese schoolgirl every hour to satisfy my appetite. ;)
Gabriel (Yeah, everyone caught the reference there)
-
Issues.
that's what you've got.
loads and loads of issues.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
:o :o :o
Like... Mac Truck capacity load issues.
You seriously need a whole roomfull of therapists to deal with your drek.
... oh... the arm you lost- that was your wanking hand, wasn't it! That would explain everything!!! ;D ;D ;D
-Kid Vid
-
LOL....and that's why he is GABE:gabe:
-
Hehehehehehehe, I'm a dirty, dirty elf. Ah... it's good to be the king. 8)
Gabriel
-
oh well. Hail to the King Baby.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Bruce Campbell is the King...you can be the prince or the Queen ;)
-
No, Zone is the Queen. ANd I bet she would send an army of testicle-ripping drones against the guy who challenged that. So maybe I could be the Arch Duke or something. ;)
Gabriel
-
Yeah, Arch Duke is cool.
-
Acrh-Duke Gabriel.... Hail to the Arch-Duke, Baby. ;)
Gabriel
-
That's more like it ;)
-
Arch-Duke Gabriel, ahhh yessssssssssss....
-
I got the image of Count Chocola for some reason ;D
-
lol
-
I got the image of Count Chocola for some reason ;D
If you hadn't given me that point of Karma yesterday, I would have just smote you for that one. I LOATHE that cerial.
Arch-Duke Gabriel
-
Boo-berry or the Franken one? ;)
-
how about the duke of earl?
i heard they made a song about that one...
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown
-
Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown
We all know that he has problems. ;D
-
Of course Arch Dukes haven't fared too well in modern history either... Alexei, Michael, Rudolf, Franz-Ferdinand....
-
Then I rest my case ;)
-
Wait were you making a case? Must'a missed that ;)
I once posed as a sultana - I pulled off the regal okay but the accent was hard to master. Made a cool quarter mil on the sting :) The lifestyle of such a person is luxuriant in ther extreme - it was something I really wished I could have maintained post scam, but it's always best to leave the mark thinking they haven't been taken.
-
That's a good one. I remember doing something similar to that.
-

What kind of harem did you have????
Gabriel
-
Well, yeah I know that, I was kind of being ficicious. You know, seeing how Zone would react to the comment. ;)
Gabriel
-
react by smiteing you, and letting you know that you wouldn't have made the cut if you were offering your services?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Did ROOTless pull his post??? I just see one of mine, then another one of mine. There should be one in between. :-\
Gabriel
-
server hickup? admin deleted?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Wasn't me, chummer. I didn't see a post....what did he say?
-
common, this pub wasn't built on censurship! it was built on ignorance!
-RuskiFace the Pirate
(and bad spelling)
-
I thought it was rock n roll....man,, have I been in the wrong place. ;)
-
ohh... that sounds even better than ignorance!
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Okay, then I haven't been in the wrong place.. ;D
-
So then who is your favorite group out right now? I figure you are a Sons of Sauron type of guy. I just can't see you listening to elven ballads for some reason.
Gabriel
-
I like the Bohemian Rapsodiers.
it's a throwback to pre-crash rock.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
I've never been into classic rock. Youcan just keep Metallica, Guns 'n Roses and all that golden oldies drek. Troll Thrash, neo-tribal, and mega-techno are my kinds of music.
Gabriel
-
yea, i like neo-techno as well.
although nothing is better to get you into a road rage mood than troll thrash.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Tell me about it. I've outrun go-gangs listening to that stuff. Yee-Haw!
Gabriel
-
but you are in trouble if they are listening to it too.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Any techno is good techno. ;D
-
so, what would you say the drive test modifiers are for driveing while listening to some good loud troll thrash?
-1 TN for speed increases
+1 TN for manuveres
-1 TN for crash tests
?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
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
-
what would the penelty be? +1 for tests not related to the road... like noticeing the T-Bird that's starting to tail you?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
No penalty. Just a kind of Zen thing for the time you are listening to the music.
Gabriel
-
well, i was just thinking of a drawback to ballance it out... perhaps you have to have at least $1K in a soundsystem installed to truely enjoy it or something like that?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
so would that be a 'grooveing' skill?
useable in dance studios, car driveing, and anywhere else you can boogie down?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
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
-
hmm... i suppose you could do it with anything... shooting, fixing computers, driveing...
should each have it's own skill, like B/R Car, Trance-Car
etc?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
hy not call it what is centering
-
well, centering is the magical ability, this is more mundane.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
mundanes can use centering
-
really? i thought it was only for the magic-folk?
-
It thought it was too.
Gabriel
-
anyone else have any experience on this?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
were is fortune at when you need him in martial arts it is common to center self
-
oh i'm sure someone who knows something will show up eventually.
-RuskiFace the Pirate

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
Paladin
-
And that answers that question.
Put Paladin's drink on my tab. he just earned it.
actually, wait a second... i'll get it for him myself.
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.
Ruski hands Paladin his drink, leaveing the bottle next to the glass.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
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.
So what's been going on around here besides the scintilating conversation?
Paladin
-
Well, we had a sort of good poker game going but it bombed out. Zone pulled in a bit of nice cash for one round but I looking for a bigger pot.
-
let me have a coffee just to wet out there
-
So, want to talk about your trip to europ? or do you need to keep it on the D.L. for awhile first?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
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?"
Gabriel
-
Now that's a handy thing to have in a cyberarm... some good ol' fashoned slap patches! i have my two partial cyberarms thanks to that motorcycle accident, i should look into getting a little compartment installed for that. know a good doc / mechanic?
but yea, anyways, let's hear about the shadows over europe.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
true but being buddys with a friend mage is better
-
if they are willing to face the drain, and the migrane that follows just for fixing up my skinned knee.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Dunno. Didn't see much of them. Happens when you're forcably reunited with a merc outfit. Now though, I've got to go see a man about an AI.
He grabs the coat and pulls it on over the rags he's already wearing.
Thanks, I'll have this back to you soon.
He grabs the slap patches and shoves them in the pocket
First though, to finish this bottle.
He finishes the glass and pours again.
Paladin
-
Gabriel's face goes pale at the mention of the AI. You hear a soft snikt as the spurs in the back of his right hand begin to extend and them pull back with a snap.
"Tell me you're not talking about Deus, chummer."
Gabriel
-
LOL like it would have to be Deus to be a serious problem.
"never make a deal with a dragon" might as well be echangable with Dragon / AI
just the same i'd be happy to hear that Deus isn't back...
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
He rolls his eyes, which no one can see beneath his glasses.
No. Morgan, Megaera, or whatever the hell she's calling herself these days.
He drops the glass and starts sipping straight from the bottle.
She's the one that's got Gimli, or his mind anyway. Gotta find Dodger, cause he's most definitely looking for her.
Paladin
-
You want some help finding Dodger?
i ran into him acouple of nodes ago.
i'm good, but he's awsome... i could see if i could set up a digital meet for you...
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Well, since my decker is currently comatose, any help would most certainly be appreciated.
He finishes the bottle and lays his head upon his hands upon the table. A moment later his head pops up, he stands and begins heading for the door.
I'll be back in a couple of hours.
He turns up the collar of the jacket and hits the door, checking to see if, yes, the rain is in fact still there.
Anything you need before I leave?
Paladin
-
I'll see what i can do for you. i have a deck i'm working on here that i'll jump onto the trix from, and see if i can find him for you. when you come back, i should have a location for a meet... i do have hitcher jacks on this thing, but you'll need a squib if you want to follow later without a datajack... uh... do you have a datajack? i don't have a squib... although i could probibly get one. or send kid out for one. he would know what to get.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
I'll grab one. Anything for a friend.
*grabs longcoat by the door and heads out into the rain*
-Kid Vid
-
Thanks Kid.
Jacks into the Trix', and starts the long process of tracking down a legendary decker.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
The Usual Palce is staggeringly empty
Ain't that always the way - one week you can't move for all the folks in here. The next it's a big echo box.
-
<drawl=texan>yep</drawl>
-
*jacks out* sory. i was buisy tracking down contact. i foud a fella that knows a fella that owes a guy a favor, who once worked on a run with Dodger, and had his cellphone number, that was discontinued, but i looked up the e-mail account that was registered to the number at that time, and it's deleted, but there was a datadrop set up with it (i undeleted it) and found a new address, and sent him a message letting him know that i know a chummer with some info on his favorite AI
*whew* so,... what happend while i was gone?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Someone farted. We don't know who. That's about it...
Gabriel
-
*sniff* *sniff*
hmm... i don't smell it.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
*comes back in out of the rain, takes off the coat and leaves it hanging by the door. He has a box under one arm, which he sets of the table, and starts pulling out it's contents*
I found a hitched jack, a squid, and a veiwing monitor, so the rest of us not jacked in can watch. How are we doing?
-
sent a message, waiting for a call back. shouldn't take long.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
*sniffs* Did someone fart in here?
*pulls the front of his t-shirt over his nose*
-KidVid
-
You know, that T-shirt thing doesn't help...
-
it would help better if you had a six pack under there kid. showing off thoes abs isn't going to help you.
-Ruskiface the Pirate
-
The tee shirt thing works if it smells worse under there than out here - masking, see?
-
*lets out a sheepish toothy grin*wasnt Me he who smelt frist probly delt it
-
Gabriel comes back in from the bathroom. His gaze goes to the swag poored out on Kid_Vid's table.
"What's all that drek for? We going on a matrix tour??"
Gabriel
-
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?"
Paladin
-
Let me check... hmm... okay. yea. i got a message. we can meet him digitally in a half hour.
do you have a datajack? i have a vidscreen or a squid if you don't.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Zone counts. Five in the pub all at once. A red letter day indeed. She quietly directs the bar keep to supply a round.
-
*grin* we were just all waiting for Neo-P to get back.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
he's the chosen one.
-
Nope. No data jack. Doesn't go too well with the whole magically active thing. The Squid will have to do.
Paladin
-
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.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Hey, if you are going surfing, toss me one of those hitchers. We can swing by a few of the more... interesting nodes I know.
Gabriel
-
sure. this only has a four port hitcher jack though, so that's one squid, one jack, and two open... i'll assume that kid will want to tag allong for the ride, that's one more free.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
what they hey but I will need a squid too
-
did kid bring two squids?
he did bring a viewscreen... could hook that up...
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
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.

Okay. never liked playing the game 'telephone' anyways.
i could never re-tell the story exactly like i heard it.
*shrug* something about wanting to add explosions to everything...
hmmm...
i have a feeling that your story will involve pleanty of explosions of it's own accord though...
-RuskiFace the Pirate

Slides on and arranges the trodes.
At least a couple. We ready to do this?

Ready as we'll ever be. LOL and no time like the present.

Lines up shots on the bar
Have one on me boys. I'll expect payback next time I swing around. ;)
-
aww crap... why do the free shots always show up when i'm jacked in?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
<Jester walks into the bar after a long hietis (sp?)> Hey guys and gals, what's new?
-
ENCLAVE clomps into the bar, removing the helmet of his tin can.
"Hello, chummers. I don't think I've ever been in here before."
ENCLAVE pulls out a credstick.
"'Tender, drinks all around. This looks like my kind of crowd. Please don't geek the gaijin, as they say...."
-
Wellcome, so nice of you to drop by.
the bodyless voice seems to come from nowhere
-
welecome chummer (orders a troll sized beer)
-
whoa, a new bar fly, AND a ghost from the past.. what are the chances for one day?
so, Jester, escape from the warcraft battlefield?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
hehe, sorta chummer. and I'm likin this new guy already :)
-
*A gentle swoon cascades from the outside; it falls from a group of joy-girls outside. A handsome dashing man of at least Charisma 12 walks in*
"Damn ladies! I'm only one man!" speaks Retread, "Chill the frag out!"
-
How come all the chipheads wander into our Pub? Why can't we ever get Sim-Scarlets down here?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
ENCLAVE looks over at the new arrival.
"Hey, chummer, care for a beer? Or would you prefer something with an umbrella in it?"
"Just kidding. Your first one's on me, compliments of Mr. Johnson's pocketbook."
-
Mr. Johnson sounds like a mighty nice guy. Hope he didn't mess you over too bad :)
-
ENCLAVE waves his hand dismissively.
"Ah, you know, you win some, you lose some. For now, I have money. Tomorrow, maybe not. Who knows? What's important is knowing how to have fun."
-
having fun is somehtin I'm raelly good at ;D
-
*sits drinkin his soy-milk, watching the chatter between the other pubbers over the rim of his old-fashioned style paper-book*
-
ENCLAVE stirs his drink with a finger.
"This place ain't so bad. A lot better than some of the other places I've been."
"I'm a simple man, but these aren't simple times. Yes indeed, us runners have to look OUT for each other, or we'll end up as meat."
ENCLAVE flashes what looks like a BTL chip.
"'Course, I'm the man to talk to if you when you're feeling low. Fix you right up."
-
<Jester smiles at Enclave and walks over to kid. Gives him a braod smile then licks his fanger and quickly jams it in KV's ear screaming WET WILLY WET WILLY!!!!!> :jester:
-
*wriggles out of the way, pushing Jester's questionable finger as far away as possible*
-
Do I hear a mud fight coming on again? ;)
-
naaaa, not this time. Just messin with KV :) I can't help it, I love the guy :) <Holds out hand expecting a bud light>
-
ENCLAVE leans back on the bar, surveying the scene.
"Ah, I see the entertainment has arrived! About time, too. Is there a jukebox in this joint?"
-
We can whip just about anything up in here.
*Reachs into jacket with talon and pulls a small velvet bag out, then dibbles a few precious stones and shiny coins out. Tosses them to the bartender*
I forgot to mention as custom that the local dragon usually buys the first drink for newbies.
Enjoy:apoc:
-
ENCLAVE bows awkwardly to the Great Dragon, straining against his tin can.
"Pleased to make yer acquaintance, Great One, to be sure. An' you'll rarely see me turn down a drink. Never met a-one I didn't like. Here's to your health, chummer!"
ENCLAVE swallows the drink in a single draught.
"HA! *burrrp* That's good stuff. Yes indeed, I'll have to inspect a few more of these cup bottoms afore I leave here...."
-
hehe, then here, inspect this one <jester buys a round>
-
ENCLAVE laughs uproariously.
"Don't mind if'n I do, chummer!"
"(I'll be paying for this in the morning....)"
-
that's the general idea :)
-
"Wow... been quiet in here recently...."
ENCLAVE lights up a stogie.
"Whose toes do you have to suck to get a game of poker going around here?"
-
Funny, you should say that...we had one going a while back but it died after the first hand. Zone won by the way.
-
((Well, regular card games are boring.
Unless there's money in it. Man, I got creamed in Texas Hold 'Em at my friend's college grad party last weekend....
Fricking math majors.)) (OOC post) ...
-
Never play with anyone that's a better cheater than you.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
ENCLAVE sips his drink slowly.
"Mmmmmmm. I'm getting bad about stopping by here on the weekends."
ENCLAVE pulls out a tattered pack of cards and begins to play solitaire.
(A few minutes later....)
"Mighty quiet in here. Aw, hell, what'm I waitin' for... I have something I gotta do...."
ENCLAVE tromps out of The Usual Place, replacing his helmet on his way out the door.
"DON'T LET THE DOOR HITCHA WHERE THE GOOD LORD SLIT YA!"
-
*shrug* I kinda like not getting shot at. I thought this was a good relaxing place to go?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
"I like places out of the rain... but not getting shot at is a close second."
-
so, being shot at in the rain really sucks huh? you really need to move to a new city...
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
ENCLAVE walks back into The Usual Place, and tosses his helmet onto a table, spilling Ruski's drink all over the floor.
"Sorry about that."
ENCLAVE takes a seat.
"So yeah... what's this about getting shot at? That's my favorite subject."
-
You want to get shot at? how about you don't replace my drink in 10 seconds... that'll get you shot at...
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
ENCLAVE narrows his eyes.
"I think your mouth's writin' checks your meat body can't cash, chummer!"
Hand starts easing down towards his belt.
-
That's okay. I got big off-shore accounts.
*Folds his arms and smiles*
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
ENCLAVE smiles wryly and goes back to his drink.
"I like your style, chummer. Be a shame to kill ya."
Waves at the 'tender.
"Bring this man another drink. Put it on my tab."
-
It was mostly empty anyways. Let's make it even. I'll get him one of whatever he's already having.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
oooh, can i get one too mister pirate ::)
-
Uh... Sure. But ya' gotta do something for me first.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
ENCLAVE looks over at the girl.
"Say, sweetie, do your parents know you're out so late?"
Breaks out in raucous laughter.
"Stay away from that Ruski, he'll take more than your lunch money if you give him half a chance!"
-
Uh... Sure. But ya' gotta do something for me first.
oh and whatd that be mr pirate
after all im being warned about you
-
I was just going to have you wash my car.
LOL
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
orders a troll mug size of real columbia blend coffee {thinks a momunet) make it irsh
-
I was just going to have you wash my car.
LOL
-RuskiFace the Pirate
"Yep, he needs a wax 'n' shine on his "Toy"ota."
ENCLAVE spews liquor onto the bar as he bursts out laughing!
-
Nah, It's a Chevy.
the Primer Grey Corvette there in the parking lot with the flat tire.
it needs some work, but a nice wash and wax wouldn't hurt.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
arnt they ones with the cronic leaky vaule gasket
-
*shrug* perhaps. but it's not the stock enginge in there.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
gah
boys an their toys men and their cars
-
and women, with their shoes, purses, gossip, pettyness, long legs, full lips, sweet scents, soft... er.. uh... nevermind.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Hello, you nimrods - you been talking about me I see...no wait...no...no mention of the female rigger and her passion for automotives... just goofy talk ;D.
Dja miss me? Let me just say this is a very, very bad summer to be doing work outside. If you've picked up a contract, make sure you get to be in climate control.
I haven't even seen my Westwind in weeks let alone ridden in its delightfully cooled interior. Such are the hack jobs.
-
I got a contract doing data security on some stuff no one wants to steal.
mind-numingly dull, but *shrug* they pay me enough.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
*Ingo finally pokes up from behind the bar*
I serve drinks! Anyone want one?
-
Dja miss me?
Ofcourse we did.
-
Awww, ROOT, you old smoothie. Have a cuppa on me :)
-
i want a cuppa too!
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
A cuppa what? I've got hot coffee.
-
i'll have a cup of coffee, extra caffeen, hold the coffee.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
One cup of caffiene coming right up!
-
*HMMMM*
Now THAT'S good stuff.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
I'd like a beer.
And a hooker, do you have those as well?
-
Ahh... Ale and Whores.
this is the place for that!
oh, no... wait...
*squints at the sign*
nope, sory, ale and Horrors...
well, we are close anyways.
*squints harder*
alf and horrors?
anyone see a sarcastic alien life form running arround here somewheres?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
"Yessir, and I think he's... in my pants."
"Hey, bartendress. Could you help me get this sarcastic, yet self-deprecatingly lovable and wacky alien life form out of my pants? Thanks. I have to drink my beer, and that takes one hand. And the other hand is just too lazy."
-
oh, i think your other hand has worked it's self into a stupor!
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Cramps? Gotta watch out for those!
-
Perhaps it's a prostetic?
-RuskiFace the pirate
-
well its not nme in there
-
is it cramps in the hands or your hands falling asleep thats a sign of rejection? inquiring minds want to know :P
-
I think that qualifies as "don't ask questions you don't want answers to."
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
rotflmao :D
-
but if someone else asks and the others are listening then we the listeners are all inquiring minds right and we are all on a need to know basis ;D
-
none of thoes poor listeners want to know either.
and the stuffer shack accrost the street sells tabloids if you want em'
just don't forget to bring your gat.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
buys bow n arrow i dont like guns lol :P
-
okay, well, if you want to play cowboy and NAN-indian, you go right on ahead.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
and besides with a gun i might shoot my eye out lol
-
that's right... no one's ever been injured playing with a bow and arrow before...
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Yeah, that's never happened! ;)
-
so, anyone need anything from the stuffer shack? i was planning on checking out the new place just down the way.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Twinkies!!!
Jester took our stockpile when he went into WoW exile..
-
will do, I'm out of jolt at home so i need to pick some up anyways.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Jester walks into the pub, waves to the crew and sits down for a drink.
-
Welcome back J.
Long time no see.
-
Yeah, chummer, how have you been? No more warcrack for you? Or jsut stopping in reguardless?
-
Ah, I got bored. I'll be around more often.
-
Such is life. See the new Dungeons and (no)Dragons Online game?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
comes in and shakes the rain off
-
what's up mercy :)
-
not to much the usal biz been doing some reshearch on a pet project
-
cool deal <buys Mercy a drink>
-
I actually got out last Sunday. Simple vehicle delivery, drove right into the middle of a mob hit. Some weirdass physad foiled it so the goomba - with whom I have a passing business aquaintence - paid me to drive the nut and his friend where ever they wanted. He wanted to go gang hunting. Like I said, weird, but highly entertaining ;D
-
Was ther a raid? This place is a tomb!
-
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.
-
walks in and grabs a seat hoy ppl looks everyone is busy
-
"Hoi Mercy...long time no see chum...how's the shotgun working out for you?" He smiles to himself...
-
works great on thoose messy trips
-
Zone returns from the toilets and pauses. Wow, hell of a magic formula she'd discovered. Not sure if she wanted to utilize it to generate runners every time though....
-
Tiger turns and nods at Zone, then turns back to Mercy "You remember a few years back I made the yo yo for you? Got any good stories about that?" he looks around for the bartender who seems to magically appear and he slams some money on the counter buying drinks for everyone.
-
not really tho that bike your cozin made has worked out swell
have to show it to you sometime
-
"Anytime chum." Tiger slams his drink and orders another.
-
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.
-
Tiger stretches for a moment before noticing the bar is starting to fill up. "Holy drek the Kid has become a man, what's going on chum, how have you been?" He slams his drink down again and orders a round for all the pubbers!
-
"Grading math papers for high school students. It's boring, but it pays well." Kid takes a sip of his coke, and pulls a pad of paper out of his bag to start doodling on.
-
"Well I'll be. Say anyone seen the dragon around lately?" Tiger pays the bartender and looks around while sipping on his drink.
-
yep tiger that warthog is a sweet ride
-
"Still got it? I need to take a ride!!!"
-
yep but you should leave the driving to me
-
"What you saying I can't drive?" Tiger slams the drink on the counter and orders another one!
-
the bike is bult for trolls
from the ground up
-
"Oh so now you're sayin I'm too small eh chum?" The synthahol is starting to get to him...
-
afried so the warthog was built from the gound up for us trolls
-
"Well drek then, how about another round for everybody? Hey what kinda papers you got there chum?"
-
Milk fo me tonight
-
I could use a good hit of Jolt Cola.
It's been one of those nights...
-RuskiFace the Pirate
Don't ya' just hate it when you see the sun rise and think: "when is the last time I slept?"
especially when you can't figure out the answer without checking your PDA...
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
yep o have to look out a windsow
-
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
-
Zone asserted that there was one reason and one reason only as to why Gabe wore out one of his original arms...
-
Apoc at the bar even gave a small dragony laugh at the comment.
Apoc lifts an eyebrow,
Where is Gabe by the way?
-
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.'"
-
I heard the words you spoke, Kid, but not sure I comprehend as I know they have no bearing on me.
-
*flips up a comlink*
hmm... not that one.
*opens a different comlink*
nope. not that one either.
*pops up a third comlink*
*presses two buttons*
He's at his house playing warcraft.
or something. he's in the living room. souteast corner of the house.
and his internet connection is on.
want me to slip something into his bandwidth?
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
You can do the with incediaries...?
-
Maybe this ol' Dragon should get off my rear for once and pay him a visit. Need a little exercise and the cobwebs are building up my back.
-
you know. if you didn't retask all of those servants of yours to the twinke factory, you'd still have one or two left to occasionaly de-web your back for you.
of course, then there would be a shortage of sugary treats in the world.
being a dragon and making 'big' decisions like that is probibly tough.
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
wanders in and up to the bar dust off a booth and grabs a bottle from store room
-
Tosses a jewel to buy Mercy another bottle.
So, anything interesting to peak the ears of this ol' dragon?
-
nothing can talk about but you know how that is
-
Then it sounds like business as usual.
-
Ingo grumbles while cleaning the pr0n off of the walls
-
Looks cleaner than it has in years. :P
-
<Jester walks in, been a while since he's been in the old joint> Heya gang. what's new? Me? Been busy running the old twinkie corp.
-
stromps in shaking off the snow grabs a seat and looks around
-
The Troll is back... Anything new? :mercy:
-
Damn, man, I thought someone had made you into a pair of boots by now.
-
<Gilliam walks in, orders a gin & tonic> "so, where the heck did this dive come from? I could swear it wasn't here yesterday"
-
Been here six or sev en years...kinda depressing on one level
-
Kid_Vid lounges in the corner, video goggles pushed up on his forehead. "Well, at least now I'm able to buy you a drink!" he says, but he's still nursing a bottle that has IBC embedded in the glass.
-
Miracles never cease ;D
-
well am single again move into a new place but other thban that not much
and what happen to my icon
-
I think that's what they're using as the door stop in the men's room
-
It was the only one big enough for this ol' reptile. ;D
-
lol
-
<Jester saunters in and buys everyone a drink> What's up chummers.
-
at least weathers getting better
-
hmmmm looks at all the cobwebs
-
It's only 'cause runners don't dust or do windows, Mercy
-
true but thought thats what help was for
-
I like it like this. It has character.
-
plops feet up on chair
-
<Ingo pours Mercy a drink>
-
much obliged
-
well winters rolling around again
-
Unless you're in the southern hemisphere...
-
Kid Vid's digital avatar wears a straw hat; "All the best people are!" he says, with a smile. Things have been good for Kid_Vid the last few years.
-
Then you're buying... ;D
-
def'ntly buying!
-
Line 'em up barkeep! Here's to prodigals.
-
Nice to see the shadows are still moving! Can somebody dust the cobwebs off this ol' reptile's back?
-
*uses Ingo's featherduster to clean off cobwebs*
"That's gross. Aren't you supposed to be an all-powerful dracoform or something?" Kid smiles.
-
It got so quiet that I must have fallen asleep....after I woke up then I noticed the cobwebs.. ;)
-
lol
-
Drinks!
-
more like CalFree Hots, drinks go down real bad with my deck! ;)
-
<The door to the bar swings open gently bringing in the sweet smell of rain and sewage along with an unfamiliar face to these parts. He shakes the water out of his dirty sand colored hair, and wipes the droplets off his trench coat. His faded green eyes wash over the room identifying potential threats. He walks briskly to the bar and removes the trench coat folding it neatly before placing it over an empty stool and taking a seat. His black suit hardly wet from the rain, he loosens his tie and nods toward the barkeep. He checks his watch, an old silver Rolex from a previous century.>
"Tequila"
<He reaches slowly into his inside pocket producing a credstick and slim pocket secretary. He tosses the stick to the barkeep and begins thumbing through the information on the screen. >
-
Ingo pours a shot and slides it down the bar.
-
"Pour one for yourself chum. Know where a guy can find some honest work?"
Mr. Van reaches back into his pocket, pulls out a different credstick with a balance of 432 nuyen and slides it back towards Ingo.
"For you chum..."
-
"Pour one for yourself chum. Know where a guy can find some honest work?"
Honest work? Then you might be in the wrong place :D
Work, now there's another question ;)
-
Not so honest work has a higher price omae.
-
Ingo looks over at Mr. Van.
Need a job? ......I need a janitor *wink*
-
Something need to be cleaned? Or perhaps fixed? Send me the details...
Mr. Van scribbles on a napkin and slides it over to Ingo
Thanks again chum
-
Zone downs a fist ful of macadamias and appreciates in a vague kind of way the bar's clever supply of cardboard grade recycled cocktail napkins, always handy for casual notes, matrix node maps, and other nefarious scribblings
-
comes in out of the rain plops in to a seat orders a glass of milk
-
(Apoc comes out of Astral Space) Give Mercy two glasses of milk. And my mug needs a refill.
-
Zone smoothly shifts over a couple of stools as dragon bulk suddenly occupies the materiality to her left
-
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?"
-
"A welcome is more than most of us get, sugar," grins Zone, "And more than most of us deserve. We are leaves on the wind..." she begins, leaving the others to complete the quote ...
(with or without harpoons, depending on the mood)
-
Ruski Smiles into the gloom of the pub.
"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.
-
"...watch us soar."
Ingo serves up drinks.
-
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 ;)
-
Nice to see my carcass is still gathering dust. Where is everybody?
-
Sleeping... and/or passed out?
-
Damn, did we forget to dust you? Sorry, but we haven't had any Endust and all the rags are being used as bandages...
