RobbiDobbs saunders in, not particularly well dressed, but definetely comfortably warm in layers of thermals. She searches the room...

I thought I heard Sensei in here. Is he still here?

Robbi then sits demurely on the dusty couch, sets down her backpack by her feet, and lights a handrolled cigarette.

And just when I thought I didn't have a reason to come to the bar.... How are you, Robbi dear?

[iI'm doing just fine, just tired from surfing drama for weeks. Got that potentila shit-storm-project done though,(Gawd I love my job) and now it's my fucking Saturday night, and it's Beer-fucking-Thirty.

How the hell are you Purple? Care to join me in some smokable leisure time?

Well all right choppa-man! Does this mean that you might just get a little more say over your weekends? (We'd hate to have to hold HeliCon without you.)

Guh. Still not over the breakup; still out of work, which gives me entirely too much fucking time to sit around the house and DWELL on the goddamn breakup. Incredibly grateful for the partners I still have who let me cry on them at inappropriate moments.

It's not a vice I share, but I'd love to keep you company.

Purple, I don't believe that we've ever been introduced. You either Robbi. My name's Bucket.

Holy fucking shit, Purple. Damn I'm sorry to hear about this. Come sit over here on the dusty couch, and if tears appear, I'll politely ignore them, and listen to every word you say. I still remember when you were right there when my eyes were leaking.

Whatever you want to drink, I'm buying.
Do we have any IPA left?

robbidobbs · Post by **robbidobbs** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 7:09 pm

Hi Bucket, yes we met a while ago. How'ya'doin'?

Purple, I just read your blog, and you seem to have things well under control. This will take time, like any wound, so don't worry about worrying.

I just realized that I need to meet someone at the Blues Society bar in a few minutes, so I should be getting onto my next adventure.

Robbi pulls her backpack on, walks deliberately past people she knows, touching shoulders, giving knowing glances, and smiling in that odd sort of way she does when life is amusing.

TTFN

Good to meet you. I've seen you around, but I've been pretty quiet lately, for the reasons I just explained to Robbi....

Another of my exes is fond of quoting Jewel - "not to worry, 'cause worry is wasteful" - but worry is a natural part of life. I just wish it wasn't such a fucking huge part of my life right now. *wry smile*

Sounds delightful. Have a wonderful time. And thanks. *hug*

Nope, it doesn't. I can play little games here and there to make days off happen but I dont want them to get wise. I have not had a real world weekend off since 1993. So these seem real to me. Sorry, but have a huge beverage on me.

* Sensei enters empty bar, sees no one around, and slips behind the bar and puts his mouth under the IPA tap and pulls the trigger *

Gack!

* Sensei spews a gallon of foam all across the bar. After recovering, he hits the IPA again, this time hitting pay-dirt. *

Damn, that was one of the quietest nights on record, I half expected we would break the board again when this thread hit 888.

Coffee and tunes are in the usual places

~~~~~~heli sneaks in and scarfs a tart, downs a shot, builds a coffee, and wonders to self 'how many days until the 26th?'~~~~~~~~~~~

[giggles shuffles into the bar, wrapped in a single quilt and minus the hotwater bottle, and sits upright in her booth, smelling of eucalyptus and appreciating her drugs.]

gigglesnort · Post by **gigglesnort** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 7:51 am

[drugs being, for the uninformed, or uniformed, or whatever, ibuprofen, vitamin c, and telithromycin]

[giggles, having expended too much energy babbling to herself, lies down to rest, pulling hte blanket over her head.]

Good morning, *in a not so quiet voice*
Is the coffee ready Guinivere?
How you doing today?

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 8:48 am

[stage whisper]SSHHHH! Z! can't you see Giggle is resting? She's been a sick girl.... here *shoves mug at him* here's some coffee, but only if you're QUIET [/stage whisper]

*Tall dark stranger tiptoes in, wanders over to huddle mass in blanket, kisses the tips of his fingers and brushes them gently across the top of her head... he then tiptoes over to the bar*

... coffee, please?...

I'd meant ibuprofen (Advil™.. little.. brown... different!),
but respect your right to not pander in potions, all the same!

~puts giggles' head on ice-pack alternating with steam vapors filtered through dryed euclyptus leaves~

Wasn't it "little, yellow, different, better"? I think so cause I always cracked up in the unknowing (?) reference to the Stones.

[stage whisper] Oh, Ok, Thanks, Maybe I should just step outside with this [stage whisper]

No, no, no. The work is done on the weekends. He deals with people who are in the National Monument for thier weekends. He ain't never going to be able to change that except insofar as he accrues leave and takes days off.

Or that's my best guess.

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 8:55 am

No need to leave, Z... just keep your voice down.

Sam, here's your coffee... in your BEEG mug... you know the one...

how are you both this morning?

Dang it, give me or the MrFishist a call. If you're not busy tomorrow, we might be able to get you into a party in the evening. It's a load of fun and full of burners. Peninusula.
