The Tea Room (Renovated)

[Grimward]

....and when I finally managed to forget how popular it was and watch it, i realized my pride had led me into an unwise prejudice....

Nice turn of the phrase, that.

I've never read AAAARRGGGG; you'll have to let me know if it's any good.

*Leaves towels out against any further teaphoons*

Howl's Moving Castle is great (even the dubbed version). I watched it not too long ago for something like the 10th time.

Sniffs air, who let demons in here, they know it is out of bounds. I might have to pay them a little visit.


Hugs Grim, hi stranger. I keep missing you. Oh and you may one to check out Feist's last couple of books. Still a lot of errors but more akin to his earlier stuff and the next one will be his final book in his long running saga.

[Grimward]

*Bows to Madam Druid, then hugs back*

Long time, milady, and good to talk to you again. Re Feist, I've been considering it. The last one I read was book 2 of the Darkwar saga, and it really seemed as if he just recorded a long gaming session, so I kind of soured on him (at the time). Lately, though, I've been feeling I need to give him another chance. Is it worth picking up Wrath of a Mad God and finishing Darkwar, or should I look into either Demonwar or Chaoswar sagas instead?

[nixie]

As you know my fondness for him is nostalgia. He has a bad habit of rehashing old characters, forgetting the histories of his main characters at times but A Kingdom Besieged and A Crown Imperiled are the best since The Kings Buccaneer. He's still rehashing characters, the three Con Dion sons at Crydee spring to mind with likely the same outcome for the Kingdom as the end of Magician. He is also bringing back the dead, but Chaoswars has brought back a spark that has been missing. You could give the others a miss but there are some things you might miss.

[Grimward]

I stuck with him a long time out of nostalgic reasons, too.

I REALLY liked The King's Buccaneer; maybe picking back up where I left off will allow me to share your frame of reference here. Will let you know how it's going. .

Did you find the Demons? By this point, Foxfire will have led them very far afield, if I'm not mistaken...

[nixie]

Good they know I don't allow them in here. Anyway apparently they don't want to play with me no more, just cause I've killed a few thousand or so. Some creatures do hold a grugge.

[Grimward]

*Grins*

And who can blame them? If Karn dressed me up in a security guard uniform and made me invade the Tea Room, I'd be pretty miffed, too.

But yes, they need to stick to the nether regions where they belong. The Tea itself decidedly loses something whenever they stick their ugly visages in here....

*Muffled sounds of protest emerge near the kitchen, possibly from Septimus' cloaking location*

Edit: Good to swap posts with you again. Enjoy the rest of your day, Ms. Nix. I have to go cut the grass (burning it tends to leave scorched earth ). *Wavesl, then flows into the sconce and vanishes*

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

What? Demons were here? In police uniforms?


Oh dear....Nixie....a few nights ago Kirby, Juken, and I went to Vegas...*Hands over the arrest warrant charging him with grand larceny*

[hopewrites]

*Gwen flutters out of the ladies room still toweling her now overly buoyant curls* "I dont see why I had to wash the tea out of that sassy excuse for a playmate. She pounced ME! I shouldn't have to spend all night scrubbing her fur just because she is too klutzy to see where we're going."

"KLUTZY! Why you little flutterby, I Should have eaten you when I had the chance"

GIRLS! not now.

what have you got for headaches septimus? something hot and sweet that itsnt too sweet or too hot.

Oh Karn, how are you? *hope notices what he is brandishing* could be better i see...

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

I'm just glad I was able to give those officers the slip. I don't even remember what happened that night, but apparently Kirby tells me I made a casino fold under from robbing them....


"Paiyo."


You mean I stole over two hundred million dollars!?! What was I on?


"Paiyo, paiyo....paiyo."

I don't even want to know any more.

[hopewrites]

'what were you on?' if it were me i'd be asking what I did with the money...

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

*Juken opens the closet in the corner and massive amounts of money falls on him*


That answers that question...

*Kirby tugs on Hope's sleeve and hands her an empty bottle of amphetamines* "Paiyo?"


Okay....


"There was Rohypnol too. And tequila."


Thank you Juken.

[hopewrites]

*takes two with the hotcocoa that Septimus just handed her, nodding her thanks to each*
sounds to me like your lucky your insides are still inside you

[nixie]

The tearoom door burst opens and the demons come to an abrupt halt.


"Thought you said she'd gone"

Nixie lifts hand

" erm, sorry highness but after your last visit to hell, we decided to get honest jobs. We don't want any trouble but the water element has broken the law"

"I'll deal with the element, he won't be visiting Vegas again, take back what he stole. I'll fix the courts. Memory spell should do it. Now you've got till I count to three..... 1"

The demons flee...

Karn, a word

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Um...okay, the "fun time" at the hotel room was my fault-I shouldn't have used those pills-but I honestly have no recollection of robbing any casino...


"Paiyo."


What? It was the Bellagio? Oh man...
