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

Alright, algorithm...I've read the election rules, and there are absolutely NO requirements regarding viginity or lack thereof! Yes, I'm a virgin--and there's NOTHING wrong with that!!!

I believe the real Lard Lad would be ashamed of you for your treatment of me!

Whatever, Cherry Boy. I think I'll go check out Nova's place. I doubt I'll find any unicorns prancing about over there!

Later!

Wow! So have you been in grief mode ever since, or do you occasionally experience other emotions?

Clive, I've made arrangements with the Rookery staff--including our comely waitstaff--and they are at your disposal.

Er, if you want to attract LMB votes, I'm afraid those Slushies you love aren't quite going to do it. I've arranged for an open bar and a buffet.

Remember what I told you about moderation? For the moment, let's let that rule slide a bit. Most of these LMB types prefer overindulgence. You dad kind of set the tone for that, I think.

Meantime, Melissa, could you please fetch Clive a soft drink? Thank you!

Clive, I just wanted to wish you good luck. If Faraway opts not to run, I'll keep you in mind for my support.

Too late! Well, good luck anyway.

Thanks for asking Ms. Cramer. I'm learning the full spectrum of emotions, positive and negative...not just grief. I'm a bit of a "newbie" at them, but Mr. Rockhopper seems to feel they aren't being felt by me in extremes. for example, when Babette dumped me a while back, he says I took it pretty well under the circumstances, considering she was the first girl I ever liked.

As always, I appreciate your generosityand kindness, Mr. Rockhopper.

And, yes, I understand that the LMB appreciates alcoholic beverages. I honestly can't understand why! I mean, it felt great while I was under its influence after Babette dumped me, but honestly--I can't understand why anyone would ever drink it again after all the vomiting and the 'hangover' the next day! Honestly!

My guests, the beverages are here for you, but forgive me if I don't join you and stick to the slushies instead!

I appreciate the sentiments, Mr. Shakespeare and understand your decision. Mr. Darden is a good man and was a very good friend to my father--I might vote for him myself!

I need to forget all this inane electioneering. The promises hurt my head. Pass the vodka slush.

Mix me up a bacon and egg slush!

It's even better with cheddar and hot sauce.

Clive,

Drinks are good, but people also need food. See if Fat Cramer will have something sent over from Cafe Cramer.

Quis, Mr. Rocky's wait staff is preparing something positively delectable as we speak!

Mr. Rocky will announce when it's ready--it won't be long!

Mmmmm shashimi...

Well, of course, there's a yummy buffet ready.

We've got several of the Rookery's specialties, including fresh seafood, transmattered in thrice daily.

Bon appétit!

My friends, sushi is served!

And sushi shooters at the bar!

No one does sushi and sushi shooters like our Pyngwyny friends!

Mmmmm raw oysters.

My molluskoid boyfriend dumped me because I prefered eating raw oysters over going out with him. You didn't invite Squiddy from the embassy did you?

Oh, heavens, no. That wouldn't be a good idea if I'm ever to get another chance for a date with you.

<sheepishly turns away from her and faces Rocky>

So Mister Rockhopper...do you think I've a better chance of winning the election or getting a second chance with Miss Roni? Gosh, but I need some dating advice!

Hmm. My only real relationship was with Openly Gay Lad and that--well his getting killed kind of kept it from lasting very long. And I know absolutely nothing about dating women. I'm sure there's someone out here in LMB-land who can give you some dating advice, Clive. Perhaps Cobie?

Fellow Legion Worlders, I appreciate your votes and will use my new position as co-deputy to do everything I can to protect our home from whatever forces dare to threaten it!

Congratulations, Clive. As a former Deputy Leader myself, I know the office has its strains. I know you and Nova Girl will find ways of supporting each other, and, of course, I am always at your disposal for advice if needed.

You are a great friend to me Mister Rocky, and I'll always appreciate your great generosity!

Now...where's my throneroom going to be?

Kidding!

{Tim enters Clive's office}

Hey, Clive! Rocky took Hyvvie to see the Super Veterinarian...of Space and asked me to check to see if you need anything. Is there anything I can help you with?

It's been a looong day, Tim. They really work deputies like dogs! Can't imagine what it was like for Rocky, not having a co-deputy.

<taking off his boots>

But since you asked...how about a foot rub?

er...<chuckles awkwardly>...just kidding, of course.

Actually, Clive, I'll have you know that I give the best footrubs in explored space. I tried giving Rocky one once, six months and twelve days ago, but it's kind of hard with webbed feet and all.

{Starts rubbing Clive's soles} There we go. Now just relax. That's right. I should have you totally relaxed in four minutes and thirty-seven seconds.

<four minutes, thirty seven seconds later>

...mmmm...that was....righteous....

<stretches>

I've got to return the favor, Tim! I know nothing about massages, but...how about a coffee...at Cramer's?
