Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board STU's Mansion.

Wow my office is BIG!!!

them sure is a big word ...

OK... construction on the rooms on the first page of this thread has been completed. Check 'em out!

Awesome work on the Mansion so far, STU!

Hmmm... I would just remind Rody that, as special counsel, my ears are everywhere.

Stu, the mansion is great!!! We can hold strategy and tactics meetings here in the Octagonal Office, and when done press a button and change the room into the Playstation/Gamecube/X-Box Palace, complete with Bose sound systems and Plasma TV's!!!

I may never leave!

Of course, I'll have to keep tabs on the important political work being done in Kid Prime\'s Political Think-Tank Room too!

And as Chief of Staff I swing a mean club!

Well, you are the chief of staff.

So, the innaugeral ball will be held here! Great! I'll make sure Security isn't an issue, and the rest of you just have a great time!

It'll start here (and go on until Sunday), and then it'll spill over into the Starfield Lounge and SHAKES for the after-parites (with a special hang-over special at Cafe Cramer soon after)!

Everyone get ready, it begins pretty soon! Who is your date? What are you wearing? This security chief is still looking for a date, any takers?

Cobie sweetie! It's the oddest thing but I am currently without a date as well! I wonder if it has anything to do with our line of work?

Empress, we're going to need your remodelling powers if the Starfield Room joint venture materializes. Rest your eye, it's going to be a big job.

Oooh, ooh, I get security detail of that room!!

The Redwood Room

This cozy room is tucked away around the corner from STU's office, and appears to serve primarily as a private bar for entertaining small gatherings of friends. The long bar is made of varnished redwood, and fitted with a brass rail that runs its length.

Arrangements of plush divans and a few chaises longues form clusters conducive to collegial conversation. A large picture window affords a lovely view of the redwood grove that enfolds the mansion's library and art gallery -- and which gives this room its name.

Sitting on the bar is a thick book of signature drink recipes from SHAKES . You peruse the pages:

BLAINE BLASTER - 180 proof alcohol, a shot of gin, a swirl of mint schnaps topped with just a sprig of mint (cherry optional). [Mattropolis, f.k.a. Danny Blaine]

ARACHNETINI - Grey Goose Vodka, opal nera, and a spritz of seltzer. [Arachne]

VAVAVAVEE - Dark, dark rum, a splash of mango, papaya, and guava nectar, lightened with a spritz of soda. [Vee, a.k.a. Varalent]

BLOODY BLOKE - A Bloody Mary made with single malt scotch, a shot of beef bouillon, and a dash of horseradish in the tomato juice. [Sonnie Bloke]

RED RANGER - Johnny Walker Black, red vermouth (Noilly Pratt, preferably) shaken 100 times and topped with a cherry. [Space Ranger]

SWEET CAROLINE - Rum, grenadine, orange juice, vodka, and papaya -- all layered. Garnish with a sprig of witch-hazel. [Saturn Girl]

THE FELLOWS MARTINI - Hendricks gin, a whisper of Noilly Pratt dry vermouth, shaken one hundred times (no more, no less) in a stainless steel shaker, garnished with a slice of cucumber (sliver of celery optional). [Semi Transparent Fellow]

ROUND-UP - A hefty shot of sour mash whiskey, a hefty shot of beef boullion, and a dash of tabasco. [Raging Bull]

THE FEARLESS LEADER - A strong shot of a mixable gin (like Sapphire or Beefeater), a smaller shot of Campari, a dash of Rose's Lime, and a spray of seltzer; shake one hundred times, and garnish with a slice of orange. [STU]

COBALT CRUSH - Bombay Gin, Meyer's White Planter's Punch Rum, Grapefruit Juice, and
Blue Curacao. [Cobalt Kid]

FROZEN VOLCANO - Two frozen blended drinks poured together to look like lava. First is white rum based: shot of white rum and sweet and sour, blend with ice. Second is tequila based: shot of tequila, grenadine, sweet and sour, blend with ice. Pour both frozen drinks carefully into a margarita glass in swirls so that the white and red remain separate. [Icefire]

BOLT - A jigger of Jolt Cola, Meyer's white plantation rum, a dash of bitters, and a shot of Pernod. [Lightning Lad]

CHEESE BREEZE - Essence of cheddar mixed with a fine stout. [Rody the Super-Rat]

THE BARD'S REVENGE - One ounce gin, two ounces Pim's, a splash of tonic water, and Rose's Lime to taste. Serve this baby in a tall skinny glass over ice. [Kent Shakespeare]

Hmm! It appears my office isn't quite ready yet so I'll have to set up shop in the Redwood room for the time being! Ahhh! The life of a Chief of Staff is so trying some times!

Let the weekend-long festivities begin! The ballroom is just around the corner...

Woo hoo! Let's dance!

(Grabs Stu and begins to cut the rug)

Woohoo!!!!! Takes a very exotic looking drink and downs it...

May I have another?

*Stands in the corner with shades on and looking fierce*

<looks around for STU>

STU? STU?

Where are you???

* Enters, notices SLK standing in corner with shades on looking Fierce removes own shades, goes to bar, orders Red Ranger, smiles at prospect of afternoon off *

Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(One Inaugrial Ball, One Security Officer on Duty, Party Time!)

<Puts on Cobalt Kid Costume>

<Walks up to Space Ranger>

Dude, I need you to go on a secret mission. Mantis is over at Shakes wiating for you...

<Walks away, takes off Cobalt Kid costume and giggles uncontrollably>

* Shakes head as Danny walks away, wondering who would be fooled by a purple plastic Cobalt Kid Halloween Mask. *

<wonders how long it will take for curiosity to get the best of Ranger and he leaves to go to Shakes>

Ummm... Nope!

Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(Wonder why he's so desperate to get rid of me? and Where is STU?)

<it's so fun to plant seeds of doubt in the Ranger's mind>
