"I think someone slipped me something in that last case of beer. I slept for a year."

"Really? Lemme see."

Digs case out of trash.

"Ahhh - there's your problem. This wasn't beer...it was a case of Panama's tranquilizers from his last peasant safari. And it's expired. Hmmm...."

"Well, if we're gonna get that swill out of you, beer just won't cut the mustard. I'm gonna have to upgrade you to a tray of Dark & Stormy shots, STAT."

Gets out a tray and loads it with the aforementioned 'medicine' and plants it in front of JH.

"Sorry man, but it's for your own good. Bartender's orders." ;P

From the frightening depths of Ye Olde Archives, good sir.
(I actually didn't think I would be able to put a new post in here anymore. Ah well...^.^)

Here you go! I'm not sure what happened to the bartender. I think he went on break?

Thanks LJ.

Guess that bartender spent one too many breaks listening to that peasant gives speeches.

You're right. That would make anyone decide to take some time off to go on a peasant beating spree. ;)

"Hey now. I just needed to clear my head and get some air, that's all. No need to get impatient here," Devlyn replies with a chuckle from right behind them, wiping something off of his hands with a bar towel.

"Long time no see." ;D

That does express most Mondays quite nicely, aye. :)

Two things.
1. You still there, Jack o' The Nine Dales?
2. Anyone who wants to, follow this link

1. Barely. Work's good, but busy as [BLEEP].

"Oh, I think I'll stick around. Watch the sunrise on the beach. One of my favorite times of day. I'll see you guys next time."

"Alright - we'll see you later then!"

Devlyn and Allura make their way back to the Omniportal, and return to the Bazaar of the Bizarre.

Morning, D! ;)

Hand cramps, Devlyn & Amby!

My mother is visiting. She was disparaging wine, which surprised me. "You don't like wine?" "Nope. Your mother goes for hard liquor!" Like mother, like daughter. That said, guess what I'm having for breakfast?

How are you doing this morning?

[Checks spleen]

I am uncramped, thank you for asking.....

....that just doesn't sound right.

;)

Mornin' All :)

Is anybody else watching No Ordinary Family?

I am very impressed with it so far.

Raises hand

Yep yep. And I'm so happy to see Michael Chiklis as a good guy again. :)

Loving the show so far!

Sneaks into the thread, then sneaks out of thread, making a successful Stealth Skill check. The pastry ninja leaves three pies (Apple, Pecan, and Pumpkin) along with a tub of cool whip.

"Everything is good with cool whip," he thinks to himself.

.....Nah. Too easy. ;P

(And Good Morning All) :)

Mornin' Dev. How's life?

My little slice of the universe is doing alright. :)

And yours?

Mornin' all :)

Oh, and a happy anniversary to our LPM and Lady Solnes.

All the marital bliss in the thread is making me feel funny.

Oh, crap. Sorry about that. One sec...

[Grabs a squeegee and push broom and starts cleaning up all the bliss]

:)

My wife thinks I'm cute. :-)

Lucky for me, so does mine ;D

(And, by the by, congratulations sir - from one recently married man to another)
[Raises mug] :)

It is way too early.

It really does feel that way today. And I've already been up for almost three hours. Hmmm...

[Shrugs]

Ah well - G'morning all :)

Mornin' all

:)

Gruumash laughs and says "Well I would say that covers most of it. Though I am curious about the comment about the Club making its own decisions I gather I'll figure that out on my own. Thank you much friend. I could use some food can't remember the last time I ate." he says as his stomach grumbles.

"If you don't mind me asking Devlyn you seen to know the place well you come here often then? What is your story or do you have one you want to tell?"

He shrugs.

"I guess I'm a 'regular' here, though there were folks here more often than I was before....well, before. Better to dwell on the present - we sure as hell earned it," as he grabs another drink and holds it up in salute before slamming it back.

"As to my story - I'm just your typical friendly neighborhood Dalesman. You know - help the helpless, defend the defenseless, defeat the...defeatless? Yeah..." he says with a chuckle. "Nothing too complicated."

"And yours?"

TToP for Hello's! Nekkid Hello's with handcramps to all!

Uhhhm...you're welcome?

;D

Gruumash gives a good nod back and a wave to Devlyn and wave to Arielle.

then to Devlyn.

"Oi there friend, (his scottish accent coming out) I"m Gruumash a sea faring traveller good to meet you. So it seems you have been here a few times. I heard from a friend this is the sort of place to come and unwind and I can't say he was wrong. I noticed another person of there Irv as well whom I have seen before. But I am new to here myself. " Seeing the tray of Dark and Stormy's he grabs two downing one with a quick gulp wiping the foam from his mouth he sips the other.

"A tasty beverage no doubt. So when does everyone begin to show up usually?"

"Well, Gruumash, that depends on what the Club plans to do," Devlyn replies with a chuckle as he leans back from checking out the new bar.

"I have a feeling that things will really start to pick closer to sundown. If past experience is any indicator, that is. Until then, you've got all manner of beach sports to keep entertained with (the volleyball court is always popular), and the beach is just over that rise there. Chairs and pavilions should be getting set up down there shortly."

"The dance floor will go until nobody's left standing, but it will definitely be at its peak tonight," he says with a wicked grin.

"And I imagine the kitchens will fire up in a few minutes, so we can start getting some eats to go with all the Dark & Stormys," as he finishes off his drink.

"Hmmm. Now what details have I missed..."

Devlyn checks out the bar area. It is about the same as it was in times past; mayhap a mite larger with a few more beers on tap. Acme whizzes along the bar's length, stocking various exotic bottles of liquor and rapidly slicing limes and lemons. An thin articulated arm with a circular saw at its tip emerges from his head and slices a coconut in half cleanly before retracting.

Do you wish another refreshment Lord Devlyn? Acme inquires, pouring the coconut milk into a chilled ewer.

"Just checkin' out the diggs in case I need to hop back there and fill in for someone," Devlyn says with a wink.

"But since you asked - another Dark & Stormy sounds great!"

Arielle wrote:

I'm supposed to be having lessons, you know, getting out of the house, learning how to track someone from LK, but so far I mostly learned how to wander around in circles totally lost for hours." ^.^

He shifts into a tall, lean young man, that wraps an arm around Arielle's shoulder. He smiles as she struggles to stay balanced.

"You make it sound like it's your fault you can't find a catapult in a hay stack." He pauses for a moment. "Oh wait, it is!"

"Hi everyone!" He says with a wave.

"What can I say, LK? Not all of us are cut out to be rangers....and I don't have the advantage of having wolf senses," she added with a grin. "Now if you didn't think it was cheating to use air elementals to track you...."

"Arielle, I literally hid a catapult in a haystack. Seriously, learn how to catch scent on the wind or something! I mean, come on! Is't wind your specialty or something?" He grins wolfishyly as he says this.

She shrugged. "I'm a storm elemental. More in the realm of destruction than detection."

She grabs a Dark and Stormy off a passing tray and chugs it. "So, lessons over? I'm thinking it's time for dancing," she says starting to sway in time to the music. "Hey, Dev, keep an eye on my hammer, 'kay? I wouldn't want anyone to hurt themselves trying to pick it up." ;)

"Why don't you drop it off here behind the bar - that should keep everybody safe, neh?" ;)

Devlyn just stifles a chuckle as LK comes loping up.
"I was beginning to wonder when your nose was going to kick in, LK."

Hey, what can I say? All the time that Dev and Allura spent babysitting really damaged their standing on the cool scale. ;P

Oh, come on - Devlyn's idea of babysitting the SuperKids was adventuring - the only thing they might have grumbled about was the 'community service' work to help get the Bazaar back on its feet. ;P

Devlyn blinks, then shakes his head.

"Talk about your growth spurts...good grief," he mutters with a surprised chuckle as Alaina brings Arielle over.

"I've missed you too, Little Tempest," he replies with a hurt look on his face as he puts an arm around her shoulder and gives her a quick hug.

"Tell your parents what? Like you just said - you can handle it. I'll only do something if you reach the point that you can't anymore. Fair enough?" he asks with a wink.

"Now - I need to help them get things set up, as it looks like word is travelling fast about the Club being back. If you want to catch Alaina up on things, I'll keep a nose out for LK."

Devlyn gets up, nods a greeting to Gruumash as he is surveying the girls, then heads over to help them with the prepwork. He pokes his head behind the bar to see if the setup has changed overly much.

"Thanks, Devlyn," she said, grinning. "Guess I'm a little sensitive on the subject. Dad's just a wee bit overprotective, and sometimes he forgets that I'm almost grown up. Almost. Unless my brothers need to be babysat and then I'm suddenly credited with much more maturity," she added, rolling her eyes.

"And now you know how we felt when we had to keep an eye on you and the others," Devlyn says with a good-natured laugh. "Maturity can be so overrated sometimes." ;D

Mornin' all :)

She spots Devlyn, and her shoulders sag. "Awwwww, man. You're gonna tell my parents about this aren't you?"

OUCH....didn't realize Devlyn had slid that far down the cool scale in my absence...[sniffle] (;_;)

;P

Alaina walks up and hugs Arielle

"Gods, has it been so long? Little sprite, you have grown! Come! sit down and tell me what is going on!"

Devlyn blinks, then shakes his head.

"Talk about your growth spurts...good grief," he mutters with a surprised chuckle as Alaina brings Arielle over.

"I've missed you too, Little Tempest," he replies with a hurt look on his face as he puts an arm around her shoulder and gives her a quick hug.

** spoiler omitted **

Mornin' all :)

Though my posting ability still isn't what it was last year, I'll try to put in as many entertaining bits as I can. It's good to have the Club back!

But I know it'll be better if we get some help, neh? ;D

Acme whizzes to the bar and returns with a Dark and Stormy for Devlyn and a Viking mead horn for Slip. Malice spins a new tune

"Time for a little Brooklyn Bounce!" Malice proclaims over the throbbing of the techno

"Thanks, Acme," Devlyn nods as he takes a swig. "Ahhh - been too long."

Alaina sits next to Devlyn and Slip.

"So what adventures have you two been up to?"

"Same ole' same ole' for me. Wandering all over helping folks, saving the world, county, prefecture...whatever," he replies with a wink.

"Things have been busy for quite a while, but it finally appears to be settling down a bit. Which makes the club's (and your) return all the more auspicious, methinks. Everybody could use a little break and some serious R&R," as he gives the thumbs-up to Malice. ;)

Mmmmmm.....temple prostitutes.

Um - 'The best part of waking up....'?

<.<

[ahem]

Mornin' All (^-^)

A large golem-like figure hauling a large box of old vinyl records and a large turntable set appears at the misty edge of the forest. He walks onto the grounds and heads for the pool

"HEY HEY! Did someone call for a DJ?"

"I was hoping you wouldn't be far behind me, Malice!" Devlyn says with a chuckle.

Malice laughs as he puts out his turntable rig by the bar.

"I don't care how it got here, I just care that it is here! And I wanna play some music!"

Malice spins a record.

"Here's an old favorite!"

A sound of synthesized horns fills the pool area

"Awesome as always, man!" ;D

This thread has been moved three times Gary. They can't find a good place for it =P

I guess that's the price for defying all definition like this crazy thread does ;D

Alaina walks towards Devlyn and Slip and Slaad

"Devlyn! It is good to see you!"

She hugs him and gives him a quick buss on the cheek.

"Hello Slip! Make yourself at home!"

She pats the largish slaad on his warty forearm

"Alaina! Hey!!!!"

Devlyn cracks a wide grin as he hugs her back.

"Well you sure are a sight for sore eyes! You look amazing, hun - in body and in soul," he says, leaning back to look at her with that odd knowing smile of his.

"It's good to see old friends. May I introduce Irv? He arrived on the edge of the realm and is taking a load off from his travels."

"Irv - well met sir, and welcome!"Devlyn calls out with a grin and a wave.

The many intricate tattoos on Alaina's arms and neck seem to writhe as she walks back towards her chair.

"ACME! Get our friends some refreshments!"

*BEEP*

At once mistress. Gentlemen, your preferences?

"Good to see you again, Acme!" Devlyn replies. "Well I can't celebrate coming back here without having a Dark & Stormy, so let's start with that, buddy!"

Mornin' All :)

Yeah, we got the club back! Such randomness is only through the power of the Slaadi!

"'Everything old is new again', neh?" Devlyn replies with a chuckle as he claps Slip and Slaad on whatever passes for his shoulder at the moment. "Good to see you again, buddy!" ;)

"This is awesome. Now I just need to find some swimming trunks..." as he starts wandering around looking for any other familiar faces.
