Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board SHAKES 4 - Now Open

Hold Cobalt Kid.

<puts up hand to stop him>

For such a legendary ladies man, you seem to know little of women tonight. I will make sure she arrives home safely. You need to think about her words some more, methinks.

<whispers to another patron, chuckling>

Dunno what the big deal is--the tabloids have had Cobie and Jeckie in Splitsville for months and are hinting that he and Lolita are finally getting together!

Guess Roy hasn't heard,eh?

Wow its beena long time...place looks great.

Wonder if I'll find friends or enemies here?

Icey! You'll find a friend in this legendary poster!

I heard that, Clive. You're wrong though...Crujeckie and I are fine. I'm not sure where those rumors are coming from. She's just spent a large amount of time away from Legion World lately.

The rumors of Jailbait Lass and I have always gone on...and sure, they were once true, but in recent times she's always laughed it off like me...at least...I thought...?

Maybe I should leave too, try to find her...(crap, as if I don't have enough on my mind with everything going down lately...)

Sorry about that, Cobie...I always thought all that stuff in the tabloids was real!

<thinks>

So...you don't actually have a sheep fetish!

Whew!

{Rocky enters SHAKES with Hyvvie and Tim}

Cobie! There you are. I really need to talk to you!

{Tim walks over to Clive}

Clive, I just want you know that no matter what happens with your dad, I'm behind you 100 percent.

{Tim smiles tentatively, then becomes more comfortable). I-I just wanted you to know that.

Thanks, Tim.

<squeezes Tim's shoulder>

It's hard coming to terms with this, but...I realize now that that's not my Dad. He's some kind of dupe put here by one of Legion World's enemies--it's the only thing that makes sense! Dad would never betray his best friend, not in a million years...

<rubs eyes as tears start forming>

What a cruel, cruel trick, Tim. For a moment I thought I had him back, but it's all been a...lie.

It's okay, Clive. Let it out. Remember you have a family here on Legion World. Rocky (looks down) and Hyvvie and Sir Roy and Lash and Cobalt Kid and Faraway Lad and Lad Boy and Quislet and Ronnie and Caliente and Ms. Handbasket and--and--and me.

{Clive and Tim stare into each other's eyes and move loser together}

Oh, Tim! <smiles> Thank the gods for you!

<kisses him>

Oh...that was...wow!

That--that--that was the most incredible 7.32 seconds of my life!

{Embarrassed} I'm sorry. I know that wasn't terribly romantic. Clive, I really, really like you. I care about you a lot. I...

{They embrace and then kiss again}

September 12 will be the 5th anniversary of SHAKES. It's pretty dusty in here, but we'll be open that day and everyone will be sporting a SHAKES silver thong. Vee is already working on that. We'll even try to have a special pole dance by Icefire, if he can be found. Cobie will be coaxed out of Shameless Hussies Bar down the street. And there will be a special drink created in honor of Lash who inspired the creation of SHAKES by asking the simple question, "Whaddaya call your lovely bar, anyway?"

So many wonderful memories live within these walls.

Icy pole dancing while Harby played piano...

STU sleeping it off in his little puppy box at the end of the bar...

The tunnel to the Starlight Lounge...

GRL and Anti Lad sitting next to the pool...

*hic*

[loud, bellicose "conversation" with Caliente]

When a STU moon eclipses the sun, SHAKES moves into another dimension and all the drunken puppies of the world change into penguins.

And an old friend might come back from being retconned out of existance...

Semi, Vee, STU, Icey?

Anybody Home?


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(There's a couple of bottles of JWB behind the bar and my special stool - the one Semi has Re-Padded after Taltar - is here. I'll just wait for someone to show up)

<walks in, early for a date with Tim>

Hmmm? Who's that at mine and Tim's usual spot? Looks...vaguely familiar.

<walks up to Ranger>

Hi, I'm Clive. Have we met?

No Sentient, I don't believe we have.

Apparently I haven't been here for quite some time.

Have a drink, or several...


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(It's gonna get real drunk in here today...)

I'm the current co-Deputy leader of the LMB!

And you are...?

<Enters and stands staring at Space Ranger...>

Brit told me... Who are you?

Space Ranger.

<Hold up a hand to silence Abin and Clive>

No I'm not Dead.

No I don't know why I'm not dead.

No I don't know who that is buried in "Space Ranger's Tomb"

There are three bottles of Jonnie Walker Black behind the bar. I intend to drink all of them, along with a couple of cases of Michelob.

You both can help if you want, the more the merrier.


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(Then I'm gonna fall face down somewhere.)

Nice catch, Kemo Sabe.

<arches eyebrow>

Er...sorry, I don't drink alcohol. Barkeep, I'll take a club soda.

Aside: Another resurrection? This can't be good! I'm already convinced that my "father's" an imposter sent here to imperil Legion World, no matter his proof to the contrary. He's been quiet lately, but he's a time bomb--I know it! This is no coincedence! I'm keeping a close eye on this one!

So, uh, nice weather we're having, eh?

<sips club soda>

Yeah, Nice weather.

Miner, you want a three'fer?

And you want a Joe'n'Jonnie Abin?

I'm just gonna drink from the bottle...


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(Don't mind me, I just need a little drinky-poo.)
