I second the drinking motion. **SLURRs some more E.C.H.C.**

Beldin:

**downs his drink and gets up**

See you tomorrow, mates, I'm on my way to a date... I won't tell the details, but hopefully there's a hottub involved...

No worries,

Beldin

**snaps his fingers and is gone in a puff of smoke**

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Have fun. **Sinks the cue ball by mistake**

Dang, that trick is so cool. I gotta start practicing my magic soon, too (though I'm good at creating potions of a wide variety ).
Luck to you, Beldin, mate! ** starts SLURRing down a horse-sized pint of beer after bouncing the cue ball off the table **

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

I think Beldin left his joint here. **Picks joint up from floor, takes a few puffs.** Let's go work on that drink some more. I can still stand.

[Beldin]

Beldin:

Soundeffect: **swooosh**

**reappears suddenly, looking a little drawn**

Hi y'all !

**prepares some coffee, can't remember Eerhardts recipe and makes some irish coffee instead**

He Ode ! Coffee is ready ! Want some ?

**puts the pitcher in the bar and settles down for a qiuet coffee**

A - nearly forgot - **snaps his fingers and a plate of fresh french croissants appears on the bar**

Much better...

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

**Calls up from laboratory**Ah, coffee! You're a life-saver, mate! And croissants, this just gets better and better!
**Comes up from laboratory, grabs a mug of coffee.** Thanks. It's been a long night, I've been working on distilling the new mixture for more potency. Hope the date went well.

WTF-Post #600 already?!

[Beldin]

Beldin:

**finishes his coffee and starts to prepare a row of E.C.H.C.'s and lines them up on the bar**

The "date" was ok. Me and my s.o. met an old friend and had a very nice evening... therefore I'm a little slow today .

So how's the distilling goming along ? What do you use ? E.S.S. ? MC² ?

**takes a glass of Composite Headbanger and SLURRs the first drink of the day**

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Glad to hear your evening went well. I'm just adding everything in together to find all the common ingredients, and of course to make taste-testing that much more fun .

We've found out so far that the new mixture isn't strong enough.

[Beldin]

Beldin:

**takes taste-example No.1 from Ode's lab desk**

Are you sure it's not strong enough ? Shouldn't we try it out - just to be REALLY sure ?

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

I think it's safe, but in the interests of scientific enquiry...it would be for the greater good, after all. Can't have people drinking inferior booze.

For the sake of Science, it's practically our duty to taste this drink...

[Beldin]

Beldin:

**pours one for Ode and one for himself. Then one for Eerhardt.**

Shame Eerhardt is not here today....we'll have to drink HIS share too....

**drinks sample No.1**

I've just found the funniest shareware game ever! You have to try Ganja Farmer, mate.

It's such a laugh!

I've actually been tasing liquer for a company yesterday. Pusckin Red/Black/Yellow, they were thinking of changing the taste, but I (and a group) talked them into not doing so cause it tasted HORRIBLE. Afterwards I got 12 free bottles of liquer!

Thay can call me anytime.

[Beldin]

Beldin:

Yes, tasting fine spirits is a DUTY to society ! If the ever come looking for me to do my duty, they'll not find me unprepared !

**downs the next glass and gets ready to leave**

Bye now, mates, I gotta leave this joint for greener pastures . The call of the wild (weekend) .....

See y'all on monday !

**snaps his fingers, picks a plate of hamburgers out of thin air, puts it on the bar **

Here's for the hungry !

**snips again and vanishes with a faint popping sound as the air rushes in to fill the sudden vaccum**

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

**Munches on a hamburger and starts packing things away into secure storage areas** Seeya Monday. If you haven't already, download Ganja Farmer if you check in on the weekend. It's really hilarious!
Jah says: Fight the power mon!

**Keeps packing and tying down loose/delicate items, rolls a few joints in preparation and then puts away the weed. The packing finished, Ode pulls down the ladder to the gunners berth, climbs up into his sleeping berth, and beds down for the week-end, leaving the PA system softly playing the Dandy Warhols**

** enters the Rolling Thunder and takes a drink from sample No.1 ** Hi, guys, I think we'll have a hard time topping the MC², but it is our duty - in the name of science - to try. Anyway, I think it's time we moved the Rolling Thunder TM to greener pastures. What do you guys think?

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

**Grabs a BS-sized mug of MC² for the trip** I'm all packed and ready to go. I put away most of yours and Beldin's stuff for the journey, hope that's okay. The shine tanks are full (as always) and the turret's primed and ready to fire.

Remember, we're aiming for the 'X'.

[Beldin]

Beldin:

**appears suddenly halfway in the bar**

DAMN !

**disappears again and pops in again a few feet to the right of the bar**


I always misjudge the distance to the bar when 'porting in....I really HATE that...

So how's tricks, mates ?

Ready to go ?


PS: Nice new avatar Ode to a Grasshopper, but I liked Jim better...
