Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Rockhopper's Rookery: Annual Holiday Party in Progress

Up and about after a relaxing mini-hibernation.

Oh, dear. Julian remembered that I used to love Sidecars in my heavy boozing days and he's just brought me one. It seems terribly early in the day, but... I can't hurt anyone's feelings. I'd better go ahead and accept it.

[lip smack]

Thank you, Julian. Are there any of those wonderful finger sandwiches right now? Ham, egg, salmon, watercress... Any type would do. I just don't want to get all giddy.

It's never too early to drink with good friends, cleome! I'll join you - I have an espresso martini!

Oh, the sandwiches are watercress and cucumber. My favorites! [passes plate around]

I hear there's a lovely statue or hologram of a certain Wonder Beagle on view. I wonder which hall he resides in.

Shall we explore, cleome? I'm bringing a packet of chocolate chip cookies and a tumbler of hot cocoa!

I'm ready.

We just need to find the updated Rookery map and upload it!

I have my Google maps ready!

It looks like we could take a leisurely stroll through the Conservatory, seeing some rare orchids as we go. Then through the exit doors and turn left...

And we've found the pool! How wonderfully designed it is!

Urgh. Now it's time for me to follow Cleome's example and take a nap. Too much petroleum fondue (I can't help that it tastes like chocolate to Bismollians.)

*turns on the ambient snowfall music for Fanfie*

[Whispering as she drifts off] Thank you, Ibby.

*whispers* sleep well, Fanfie!

*goes off to make some hot cocoa with Bailey's*

Hello, my loves! Sorry I have been dilatory of my hosting duties. Yes, Fanfie, there is a lovely holographic statue of Hyvvie in his old room, which has become a memorial for him. I miss him, but he had a great life here on Legion World!

*brings our 5 family dogs to pay respect to Hyvvie*

Rocky, it's great to see you! Please, Everyone pose next to Hyvvie for just a sec, so I can snap a nice holiday portrait for mr_cleome back home. No need for a selfie stick. He already knows what his wife looks like. : )

[snap!]

Perfect! Thanks. Just let me hit "Send" real quick here...

And not to brag too much, but check out these adorable red wool gloves he got me! They each have a black kitty marching regally across the back-wrist!

So cute!

And thanks for the picture!

Wow! Look at all the LIKES we got for this simple but adorable photo! It's a good thing that mr_cleome's FB is friends-only. Otherwise there might be hundreds of party-crashers on their way here right now. : )

We gotta spend the night taking more photos! Everyone gather round!

*burst into the room wearing a fur coat, three bags of Christmas gifts on each arm, arms open wide, vocalizing like Jo Ann Worley*

Now now everyone, Auntie Sarky has such lovely gifts for everyone!

For Cleome we have an, er, a very fine whatzit imported from Switzerland, yes.

Ibby, for you this is a vintage thingamob circa 1920.

And Ann, DARLING, they only made about five of these kerjiggers and Rosalind Russell acquired three of them before she died.

Yes, lovely woman, very nice.

How thoughtful, Auntie Sarky!
Thank you!


I?m not nearly so good at gift-giving, I got gift cards for everybody!

Awwww...thank you, Auntie Sarky!

Yes now where IS supragirl? Supragirl dahling I found this most absolutely fascinating whatchamawhozit. Yes the sales clerk said it was made in Pittsburrrrgh.

Of course what else does one do with their time when they live in Pittsburrrgh?

A genuine antique Ronco?! Oh, Sarky! You shouldn't have!



Hey we should check in downstairs and see if there's a nice treat for you, Birthday Boy!

Yes dahling because it's just not a birthday until your Auntie Sarky's good and lit
