Multiple edits are usually a suspicious sign... Batender! Make it a double - and fast!

Wait till you get to know him.

Rumors of my attempted murder by various females in LMB history are greatly exaggerated.

Okay, maybe exaggerating them would be impossible, considering how kooky those various occassions got (remember that one Kent where you were the minister so Viv tried to kill us both? Honestly, your own bride at your own wedding actually trying to kill you...?)

Where was I? Oh yeah, I think I was having a drink.

Forget the double. Just pass the whole bottle.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Mark Twain said he would rather decline two drinks than one German adjective.

<walks in, as each patron looks at her with eye-browed raised given that she’s the physical equivalent of a 17 year old girl, she gets more and more embarrassed and beet-red. She had tears in her eyes as if she just stopped crying>

Hi…*sniff*…I’d like a drink. I, well, I don’t really know what to have, as I don’t really ever drink much. Give me something strong. *sniff*

I have I.D. I know I look really young, but I’m actually 22. I work for Cobalt…well, I’m a member of the LMBP.

<wipes away any last tears, looks around>

I don’t really want my drink to be too girly though.

<puts up collar on security trenchcoat to indicate wants to be left alone>

One of those mew-ments, eh?

(oh God, I knew someone would bother me...I was just hoping it wasn't one of the creepy rejects)

<stares strait ahead>

<standing outside of SHAKES>

You know...I do not think I have entered this place ever since I tried to fire-bomb it all those years ago. I hope they can forive me after all these years. I certainly could understand if they do not.

I hope Rocky and the others are here. I feel uncomfortable enough on Legion World given my past...let alone among those I have scarcely talked during my evil reign.

<enters, checks to make sure Babette's not working, spots Lolita>

Pardon me.

<cuts between Lolita and Udder Nonsense>

Hi, Lolita. I'm meeting Tim here tonight!

I, uh, heard you went to see Dad. How'd it go?

<takes a minute before realizing Clive is there>

Hi Clive.

<is noticably drunk for the first time ever on LW>

It...well, it didn't go well, that's for sure. Ha. Your Dad is going to cause some trouble. I can see the signs already...

By the way Clive, don't ever drink strait bourbon. *Especially* when it stops stinging and starts going down smoothly. I figure I'll never drink it again, but now that I'm already drinking, well, what the hell, right?

<cheeks noticably red, unable to stop smiling, yet still obviously sad>

Yeah, tomorrow it ain't gonna feel good! That's why I don't drink alcohol anymore.

<motions to Semi>

A virgin strawberry daquiri, please!

<turns back to Lolita>

It's okay, y'know. No one's going to take Dad seriously...not when it come's to the galaxy's greatest hero.

<Semi brings his drink>

Thanks, Semi! <sips> So please don't let him get you down, Lolita! Okay?

Okay.

I know that already. Its not really Lard Lad that's got me down anyway. I don't know why I'm so depressed...I'm being stupid.

Its...well, if you know me at all, I'm sure you can guess who it is.

<eyes empty glass>

I'll have another bourbon, Semi. These certainly are making me feel better...

Well, well, well... some patrons, at last. Main street on Legion World has been rather bleak for quite a while. There was a time when there were many fine establishments besides SHAKES and Cafe Cramer. These fine establishments served the populace of Legion World and were convenient to many of the fine villas and dungeons of esteemed Legion Worlders. In fact, there used to be a tesseract directly from SHAKES to Cobalt's Security Office. Also there was an incredible restaurant/night spot run by Mattropolis. The main street was festively decorated with statues iof the favourite LW'er du jour, and there was even an infamous strip bar (the name escapes me) where all the greatest heroes went to slum. Those were crazy times and fun ... at least when things weren't being destroyed by the unholy Arthurian sisters. ... but I ramble...

The famous Shameless Hussies! Cobie still mentions it! I believe Icefyre still holds the record (with pride) as most shameless.

<sips> Sounds like I missed a lot before, well, being created.

So, what, you're upset about Cobie himself, Lolita? What's the big deal? Are you missing him being part of the Security Office?

<looks up>

Is that him coming in?

Hey Semi! Just popping in! I just wanted to let you know I've set up shop in the building right next door for my new Interstellar Travel Agency! I miss the old days too, so maybe its time to get Downtown Legion World hopping again.

<notices large crowd>

Busy in here tonight? I'll have a Manhattan.

Lolita, is that you? I don't think I've ever seen you in here before. I don't think I've ever seen you drink in public before, to be honest. What's the occassion?

<notices she's drunk and possibly sad>

Hey, are you alright?

No, no, I quit the Security Office with him. We always work together in all his businesses. I generally just work directly for him on everything we do, rather than work for anyone place.

No, its more than all that.

<drunkenly smiles, as if doesn't care anymore what's being said>

You see Clive, I lov--

<sees Cobalt walk in>

Oh my God, he's here!

Cobalt! The main man! Come pull up a stool!

Lolita and I were just talking about you!

Hey everyone! I've been so busy with the RMB kids in the streets that I feel like I haven't been around that much lately.

I was looking for you before Lolita. I set up the Interstellar Travel Agency like we talked about. Without you, I have no idea how to spell interstellar.

[aside in whisper]What's the matter? Are you upset?[/aside in whisper]

Nothing is the matter Cobie...

<blows nose>

I decided to come in here since I never did before. And I love it here! You should have taken me here sometime.

Clive and Roy and the rest of their camraderie from the last Crisis are meeting for some drinks. You should stay and join them. It'll at least make them feel better after they've all been sticking up for you against Lard Lad and Gary Concord today...

Lolita...let's not get into all that here. I'm glad you're here, so you may as well enjoy the full experience.

You can stop worrying about Lardy and Gary Concord. It will all work out.

<puts arm around her>

Whatever your worried about, we'll figure it out when you've sobered up. But I've only ever seen you drunk when we're hanging out in private. This will be a sight to see!

<rests head against his shoulder>

Okay, we won't talk about it now.

<opens eye to see Clive still there. Suddenly annoyed, but not at Clive, at Cobalt! Takes head off shoulder>

Cobie, is there a place to crash at your new agency? I think I'm going to get some air. I can't just pretend there isn't a major problem on the horizon for us...for you...at least not after drinking...

<gets up, begins to walk to the door>

?

Lolita, what is the matter tonight?

I'll come with you...
