As the girl sits at the bar, quietly taking in her surroundings, she is unaware of the eyes locked on her. Peering out of the shadows, he watches her every move.
She goes to the jukebox to play a tune. She says hello to the friendly gazoo at the box. While behind her the man approaches silently. He gets closer, and closer....
Until finally he's right behind her. He breaths sofly on her hear. "Hello, Calliope...."
She then whips around and punches the man in the stomach. "Hey my dear evil brothlet! What's up?"
Darkwind gets to his feet and looks down on his evil sislet....
Gazoo stands next to Calliope as she is selecting a tune to play on the jukebox. Suddenly, Darkwind appears and whispers something in Calliope's ear. Calliope. turns and knocks Darkwind down with a shot to the solar plexis. gazoo jumps in front of the jukebox with IT's arms out strecthed trying to protect the tunes (gazoo IS the jukebox paladin afterall)!
"Hey, you two! Take that stuff outside!" :o)
Calli, her mysterious-woman facade lifted, smiles at Darkwind.
"My dear brothlet, whatever brings you here at such a late hour?" Darkwind scowls and gestures to the picture still clasped in Calli's hand. She turns and slips it into her boot, giving him a flash of flesh that would be unseemly were he not her brothlet.
"So. You...." she stammers and trails off. She walks up to the bar, grabs her drink and downs it swiftly. "Excuse me" she mutters, and heads to the ladies room.
A few minutes later, Darkwind knocks on the door. It swings open to reveal....an empty room.
After waiting almost an eternity for his evil sislet to return from the bathroom, Darkwind wanders over to the Ladies' Room door.
When he knocks on the door it swings open to reveal the restroom is empty.
"Damn, she pulls the disappearing act again. But why here? Why now? Why only just a flash of flesh??"
Leaving the bathroom (and all humor associated) behind, Darkwind goes back to the jukebox to see if maybe gazoo has seen where Calliope snuck off to...
Darkwind gets up slowly and he and Calliope have a short talk. Calliope goes to the bar, downs her drink and then heads into the Ladies Room. Darkwind waits. And waits. And waits. gazoo is still protecting the jukebox but watches as Darkwind opens the Ladies Room door. Darkwind turns and approaches gazoo. He asks gazoo if IT has seen Calliope. gazoo shrugs.
"She does that sometimes. If she doesn't want to be found ... you won't find her." :o)
An elsewhere...
Calli steps out of a cab into the rainy night. Unfortunately, she left her overcoat in the Bronze and she shivers as she runs into a dark building her small dress also begins to stick rather unseemingly to her frame, but that's better left to a WAW, and this is the PG-13 turf of the Bronze As she gets inside the dry building, she pulls the picture from her boot. Calli runs her fingers across the surface in an act that is half love, half revulsion.
She approaches a bookshelf in the room, scans its contents and grabs a small book, which, when opened, reveals a vial that contains a mysterious pinkish liquid that is not only similar in appearance to cherry koolaid, also had an odor much like it. The book contained only one short sentence and it was definately not a run-on like the one above. "For use only in an emergency!"
"If this isn't an emergency, I don't know what is!" Calli mutters and heads back outside to her waiting cab.
Darkwind, after seeking the knowledge of the great IT gazoo is left stumped. He wanders over to the bar and notices Calliope's overcoat lying across a barstool. Rifling through the pockets, he finds some change, some chick peas, an artichoke heart and a slip of paper.
The paper reads 133 E. Frost Street. Be there, tonight This is odd thinks Darkwind. Why would she even eat those two foods at the same time??
Donning the tiger striped overcoat, Darkwind walks out of the Bronze looking very stylish...
Hailing a cab which is easy in such a nice overcoat he heads towards Frost street. Arriving at the dark building he enters. Everything looks normal, aside from the 2 inch coat of dust on most everything. It is then that he notices the disturbed bookshelf. Looking in the open book, he sees a cut out big enough for a vial, and only one sentence definitely not run on "For use only in an emergency" Hmmm.
"She wouldn't dare...." Darkwind says aloud he has a small problem with talking to himself in climactic moments
Hopping back in the cab, he only hopes he can make it back to the Bronze in time...
After gazoo tells Darkwind that IT doesn't have the slightest idea where Calliope could be Darkwind goes over to the bar. He picks up a coat from off the bar and rifles thru the pockets (rude, much?). Darkwind takes out a few strange objects and a small piece of paper. Darkwind's closes his eyes and lowers his head, shaking it slowly. Darkwind takes the coat and leaves the Bronze.
"Jeepers, people come and go so quickly here!" :o)
While Darkwind is wearing Calli's delightful reversible black/tiger striped overcoat and sniffing down her trail, a drenched Calli reappears at the Bronze, growls when she realizes her overcoat is missing and grabs a tablecloth to cover her shivering body. She slowly extracts the vial from her boot and walks to the bar. Grabbing a tumbler and a bottle of southern comfort, she pours a drop of the liquid from the vial and combines it with the liquor. Immediately, the glass steams and a small hole is eaten through the nails, duct tape, and finally the wood that makes up the bar.
"Wow. This stuff really has kick" she says, as yet another dark figure enters the Bronze. The bartender recognises the person and passes out cold, leaving the patrons to yell out, "FREE DRINKS!" and storm the bar.
Calli approaches the figure. "Do you have it?" the "Yes," breathes Calli. "All you had to do was ask"
Finally, the Brozne appears to be quieting down. gazoo heads over to IT's booth and takes Bowie and Glutton out of IT's trench coat pockets and places them on the floor to play. After about 15 mins the doors of the Bronze open and a very rain-soaked (it is rain isn't it?) Calliope enters. She heads over to the bar and gets a drink. She has something in her hand and she pours a small amount into her drink. The drink foams and bubbles. gazoo knows something is up. Soon a dark stranger enters the bar and goes over to Calliope. gazoo grabs the two dingoes and jumps under the table.
Darkwind rushes into the Bronze, hoping it isn't too late. As he storms in out of the storm, he sees Calliope offering a vial of liquid to a tall dark stranger.
"No!!!" Darkwind yells as he rushes over and knocks the man out of the way. "Damnit Calli how many times do I have to tell you!! No giving tall dark strangers your generic sex appeal potion and then using them for your own selfish needs!!.....That's what I'm for!"
Calliope looks up at Darkwind, her little black dress sliding off her shoulder a bit
"Oh brothlet, incest is best!" Calliope chortles...
From the stage, Lucan watches everything in the Bronze taking place ... after the band played the last song, he put his bass down on its stand and hopped down. gazoo stared at him, nodding towards Calliope and the Stranger. Taking the cue, Lucan approaches the two talking over a vial.
The dark stranger takes a strange silver box from his trenchcoat and lays it on the bar. "Your payment dear lady use it wisely." The dark stranger pushes Darkwind out of the way and takes the vial from Calliope and walks out into the dance floor. As Darkwind mumbles the stranger silences him with a glare and states coldly "I do not need a sex potion." he then turns to Calliope, "I LOVE the dress." he says....
Marj comes into the Bronze, she looks and see that people are whispering and pointing at her. She hears things like: "She looks familar...", "Where have I seen her before...",and "Who is that weird girl?"
The Heretic stumbles into the Bronze, pie-eyed. She looks over at the man in the trenchcoat, not sure whether to drool over him, his coat, or the silver box. She settles for just drooling.
New to the Bronze, Godeater looks the place over, taking in the people and surroundings. After watching the episode at the bar, he takes a corner table, makes himself comfortable and pulls out a sliver flask that gleams in the light like a beacon in the dark club. He watches......
Lucan approaches the two just before Darkwind knocks the stranger down. He watches bemusedly as the pair square off
Calli drops the tablecloth and looks at Darkwind in a decidedly sensuous manner, after all, he is only her adopted brothlet. Then again, in the past hour alone she has flashed this look to the bartender, the cabbie, the jukebox, three stray dingoes and a lollipop stuck to the seat of the cab, so let's not read too much into it, shall we?
The dark stranger begins to rise from the ground, falls back down due to the horrid condition of the Bronze flooring, and then manages to stand. He places a box on the bar and moves onto the dance floor as he remarks to Calli about her dress.
Calli follows the stranger onto the dance floor as Darkwind merely looks on, dazed at the events.
"But if it wasn't sex appeal, what was in the vial?" he wonders
Darkwind looks on in petty jealousy. How dare that stranger talk to my sislet that way?! disregarding the fact that Calli's wandering eye includes various biological beings and some candy foodstuffs
Darkwind notices gazoo under the table with her dingoes and nods to Lucan who tried to intervene on the stranger.
Suddenly, he realizes what's in the vial, and just why the stranger has it on the dance floor.... it's a super secret jerry curl formula.
That dastardly villain is trying to bring back 80's fashion!!! Aaaah!
The Heretic looks in the general direction of the dark stranger and Godeater and slurs...
"Good thing Oz isn't here tonight! All that silver's bound to make a werewolf nervous!"
She looks at her pager/watch and realizes how late it is. She starts for the door and doesn't quite make it...
The stranger reaches out and gently grasps Calliope's hand he spins her into him as stand ready to dance, the Vial in between their outstretched hands. With a look from the stranger at the Jukebox 'Crash Into Me' by Dave Matthews Band begins to play. A slight dip and then the dance begins.
Lucan leans over to Darkwind and says, "yeah it wasn't sex appeal ... it was actually a mysterious pinkish liquid that was not only similar in appearance to cherry koolaid, it also has an odor just like it"
Darkwind stares at Lucan with his mouth agape.
"Yeah, I majored in Redundancy in College", Lucan mused.
From under the table gazoo leans IT's chin in It's right palm and watches the confrontation between the dark stranger and Calliope. Bowie and Glutton are laying one on each side of gazoo with their fuzzy little chins in their palms. Suddently, Darkwind enters the Bronze and yells at the dark strange (gazoo missed this as IT was petting Bowie). From the back of the Bronze, Lucan strolls over and knocks the dark stranger down! There is a short *discussion* between the three and then Calliope and the dark strange walk onto the dance floor.
"They're gonna DANCE! What's up with that?"
The Heretic makes one more, futile attempt to leave the Bronze and go home. Instead, enraptured by the elegantly dancing couple on the dance floor, she stares blankly for awhile until her head hits the table. She can only hope that no one takes too great an advantage of her state before morning...
Realizing his major mistake in misidentifying the contents of the vial, Lucan searches frantically for a way to redeem himself...he looks up into the rafters...and grins.
He runs over to the wall, and pulls roughly down on a lever marked Sprinkler System. Thereby activating the Bronze's old, yet sturdy, fire sprinklers.
"Expunge yourself from this establishment you heathen bad guy!" He shouts to the Jerry Curl Villain.
Miguel walks up to Godeater's corner booth and smiles. Konichiwa! So you're new here, huh? I remember when I was new here... I could have used someone like me. Here's a drink, it's a tequila sunrise, it should get you mellow. Don't eat me though. (Full name: Miguel GOD inez. How's that for a coinkydink?)
Calli smirks at Darkwind. "Wrong again" she thinks as she swirls in the arms of the stranger. "He's gotta learn to become a better deducer. And that gazoo is an IT"
She settles into the arms of the stranger and tugs at her drying dress is it hot in here? The contents of the vial remain snugly between their interlocked palms and away from the prying Darkwind, who is discussing the matter with Lucan.
Marj sits at her stool next to the bar, sipping her Dr. Pepper, watching the dark mysterious guy dancing with Calliope. As she sits their and listens to the musicical stylings of Dave Matthews, she decides to put her headphoned back on, and listen to Sprung Monkey instead.
Calli shrugs as the sprinklers come on. "sheesh, will i ever get dry?" she wonders as her small dress once again becomes sopping wet. the collected male portion of the bronze hopes not...
The stranger looks up at the falling water and quickly and in time to the music moves Calliope under the protection of the trenchcoat, tossing a disdainful look at Lucan they continue to dance and ever so slowly they tip the vial.
Lucan leans over to Darkwind, "We must find out what is in this vial! Calliope's monkeypants are beginning to show, if we wait too long, we're doomed!"
Darkwind stares slackjawed at the freaky lambada fest that's going on on the dance floor. Now with the sprinklers going, it makes it ever so much more kinky.
Better deducer? At least I'm a good seducer...oh wait PG-13. And apologies to gazoo who is not an elderly dutch woman, but an IT. How could I forget??
Darkwind watches as Calliope once again gets wet and steamy on the bronze dance floor.
"What's wrong with my mind?? Why is it so smutty?" It must be the all the porn Calli's been sending to me lately."
Yet more of the dastardly plot is revealed....
Godeater accepts the offered drink with a slight smile and offers Miguel a seat at his table. "I wont eat you," he says. "I've already had dinner this evening..."he says in a low voice. He watches the couple on the dance floor with a gleam in his eyes,"..but I may want a little bite later on." He removes a gold cigarette case and remove's a slender cigarello. He offers one to Miguel as he lights it with a platnium lighter.
Gazoo takes three bags of buttered popcorn from out of IT's trenchcoat and hands one bag to each dingo. gazoo slowly nibbles the golden puffs and then waves to Godeater and Miguel who are sitting in a distant table. gazoo watches as the dark stranger and Calliope dance.
"My, they are so light on their feet. They look very good together."
The two dingoes nob their heads in agreement. Suddently, gazoo notices that Darkwind and Lucan are talking and pointing at the dancing couple. Without a moments warning Lucan goes over to the "Do Not Touch This Or Die" sign and he tears it off the wall and pushes the button. The overhead water sprinkleres come on and begin to pour water all over the Bronze. gazoo reaches into IT's coat and removes three umbellas, one large and two smaller ones. gazoo hands one of the smaller umbellas to Bowie and Glutton and they all three go back to eating their buttery popcorn.
Whelk returns to the bronze, holding a green book he spirited from a warehouse. Inside, there is a cut out space, and the words "for emergencies only". Suddenly a drenching rain pours out of the sprinklers. He shields himself with the book, when he notices on the back coner, in large friendly letters, the words "DON'T PANIC", over a large red button. Hmmn, he mutters to himself, I wonder what this does
TheName runs like hell into the Bronze, screams "Whelk, that's really cool!", and runs back out into the land of Lurk to the screams of an enraged crowd.
Calli dances, shielded from the downpour by the stranger's trenchcoat. the collected male population of the bronze groans in response. She reaches down to her skirt and pulls the hem down slightly, lest her hot pink leopard spotted monkeypants begin to show. She can tell Darkwind is becoming antsy, due to the fact that he's not had his daily smut requirement.
As the pair dip ever so low in the dance, the vial clasped between their palms teeters dangerously near the spilling point. Suddenly, Calli bolts upright. "Do I smell popcorn?" She asks as she looks around. She spots gazoo and the dingoes munching contently.
The stranger offers a mysterious grin. "You don't need any popcorn. We have this." He brings the vial to his lips in what seems to be slow motion...
Standing in the doors of the Bronze, a figure appears. The figure walks out of the shadows and it is ..... Whelk. He is carrying a green book with a red button on the back. gazoo stops eating It's buttery popcorn and IT's eyes widen in disbelief! Whelk eyes the red button slowly drawing his finger tip over it.
"Man, this CANNOT be good!"
Gazoo looks at the Bowie and Glutton.
"I hope this isn't some 'vortex to hell' button. I just cleaned the jukebox cubbyhole last month!"
Whelk pushes the great red button. Time slows, space bends, the raindrops turn into fish, gazoo becomes a he, then a she, and returns to being an IT. TheName turns into bob. Time flows again. Whelk speaks, "carp, I hate carp"
The dancing couple move closer to gazoo and dingoes laying under the booth. The dark stranger dips Calliope and she looks right at gazoo. gazoo smiles at her. Calliope says, "Popcorn". gazoo reaches out IT's bag of buttery popcorn to Calliope but the mean ole dark stranger whirls her back up and takes the vial and puts it to his lips.
He must not like butter on his popcorn!
The dingoes growl deeply in their throats at this unbelievable comment.
The stranger lets just five drops fall on his tongue wincing slightly he lowers his head to Calliope, while the now upturned collar of the trenchcoat obscures what is happening to Darkwind and the others. The steam rising from the trenchcoat troubles their imagination
Calli, inside the steam of the trenchcoat, knows *exactly* what's going on, but since this is still a PG-13 board, and there are young'un's about, keeps her lips zipped. hypothetically. you draw your own conclusions :o)
Dang, that ain't no jheri-curl!
Godeater watches as the sprinkler system is triggered and water begins to rain down. He mutters somthing quietly under his breath. The water now vears away from him and heads toward the washroom area. Takes a puff from his cigarello, a slightly woody smoke fills the area. He finishes the drink that Miguel gave him in one gulp. He watches the occupents of the Bronze through the smoke. The couple on the dance floor covered with the trenchcoat. The IT under the table eating popcorn with a couple of dingos. The figure with the green book , that seems to have some kind of button or swich on it. The pair by the bar that are watching the couple on the dance floor with uncommon interest. Godeater watches them all through the smoke and water...and plans.....
With an evil glare in his eyes Whelk pushes the red button on the back of the green book. gazoo covers Bowie and Glutton's eye (God knows what will happen). gazoo starts to feel very strange, first IT feels all sugar and spice inside and IT has a strange desire to watch "Beaches". Then all of a sudden IT feels like snips and snails (not puppy dog tails cuz the dingoes will be mad!) and wants to toss a ball around! Then IT feels normal again.
"I have GOT to stop eating those burritoes from the corner cafe."
The dingoes nob in agreement and sniff gazoo to make sure IT is back to normal (or as close to normal as a gazoo can get).
Knowing that the stranger must be inhuman, for no human can resist butter on their popcorn, Darkwind approaches the dancing duo who are starting to resemble Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing and intervenes.
"May I have this dance, darling sislet?" he asks. "I don't like to look of this man's body heat"
Carefully pulling Calliope away from the steaming stranger, they glide back by gazoo's table and hide beneath it. Although cramped, and the two are rubbing up against each other in all sorts of places, they now have popcorn, and a view of what's about to happen....
Bob pops his head in and takes a look around at all the nifty people... he can't figure out what's going on on the dance floor. He can't help staring.
Medusa2306 stumbles through the doors of the Bronze. This has been one of the most chaotic days of her short career as a coffee jockey. She had a choice...crawl into bed and bury herself beneath the covers for at least ten years or go to the Bronze and let all of the stress just fall away. She sits at the bar and orders a coke and some onion rings. Glancing around the room she notices gazoo and its dingoes, Bowie and Glutton. Aren't they just cute?? Medusa's head begins to swim and she closes her eyes, hoping to regain a little control. The bartender arrives with her coke and onion rings and she manages a quick thank you before she passes out on the bar.
Witchy Woman wanders into the Bronze and chooses a seat at the bar, drying it off with a towel before sitting down.
The stranger strides to the table, as the dingoes growl at him. The stranger dips his fingers in the vial and flicks a couple of small drops in the dingoes mouths. Their eyes glow strangley as they turn to look at Darkwind.
Darkwind goes over to the couple on the dance floor. The dark stranger has taken some of the liquid in the vial and he is steaming (maybe it was water and he is related to the Wicked Witch of the West?). As the dark stranger continues to vent, Darkwind grabs Calliope and they head over to where gazoo and IT's dingoes have set up for the evening. Darkwind and Calliope crawl under the booth. gazoo looks at Bowie and Glutton and sighs.
There goes the neighborhood!
Gazoo takes the two dingoes and puts them closer to IT's chin as Darkwind and Calliope are much too close for the innocent dingoes. gazoo hands the new arrivals a bag of popcorn, one with butter and one without.
Calli, now with Darkwind and her dress getting wetter by the minute...will someone shut off the damn sprinklers? She observes the area where the stranger stands.
He begins to tremble, either from the five drops of the liquid which is very close to but not quite cherry koolaid or from the fact that the enchanting and drenched Calli has been ripped away from him.
Darkwind smirks and pulls Calli closer to him. "Just watch..." he says and stares at the stranger, who has just fed the dingoes the odd potion.
Whelk dives under a table to escabe the pelting of raining carp. Sore from the welts, he watches the mysterious figure in the overcoat hunch over, protecting himself from the fishy onslaught. Distracted, he allows Darkwind to steal Calli away from him. "Steam, carp, and buttered popcorn, what an ugly night" Whelk moans, as he cowers beneath the table.
Gazoo is talking to Calliope when the dark stranger comes over and drops some of the vial contents into MY DINGOES mouths! gazoo is not normally a violent gazoo (but I do work for the postal service) but this is an attack on the two cutest dingoes in the whole wide Bronze! gazoo stands up to IT total 5 foot height and flattens the dark stranger with a well placed fist to the chin (that was his chin, wasn't it?). gazoo grabs the two dingoes and yells ...
"SOMEONE CALL 911!!!! SOMEONE CALL THE SDA!!!!" sob sob
Lucan misinterprets Calliope's cry to shut off the water as a plea to add more water. He frantically looks around and sees a hose rolled up on the wall. He runs over to it, hooks the hose up, and shoots it right at the Bronzers on the dance floor.
Angela quickly runs over to IT's dingoes and whips out her BAH dingo nursery First Aid kit. She manages to get all of the vial's contents out...saving the dingoes. Angela looks up at IT and says, "Aren't you glad there's a doctor here...er, uh, therapist?"
Making sure to thank gazoo for IT's kindly gift of popcorn and space under the table, Darkwind gets suspicious when the dark stranger walks up to the table. He flicks droplets of the pink potion into the mouths of gazoo's little dingoes. They look wickedly at Darkwind.
"Oh great", Darkwind sighs, "I didn't want to have to do this."
Suddenly, Darkwind pulls out a mandolin and starts singing softly. "La la la la la la la." The dingoes become relaxed and eventually fall asleep, curled under their IT's chin. "Ahh, music sooths the savage beast, I just wish I didn't have to sing in public like this..."
By now the dark stranger, is steaming uncontollably almost like a bomb. The dark man staggers back into the middle of the dance floor surrounded by carp from Whelk's button-pushing escapade.
Steaming even more, the stranger clutches his head with pain!! Suddenly his head explodes in a shower of confetti and balloons!!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALLIOPE!!!!
Darkwind and Calli emerge from under the table.
"How's that for a birthday surprise?" Darkwind says. :)
Marj runs over to the little emergency phone in the corner of the bronze and calls 911 for the poor dingo. She thinks to herself, "God, and I thought the guy was cute..."
Calli blushes and thanks Darkwind for the surprise. After all, it's not often that one's birthday is so...explosive.
She stares at the remains of the stranger..."he was such a good stranger too..."
Ever the troublemaker, Bingo rushes from Avarice's side to back-up Bowie and Glutton... And since he hates opera, he isn't phased by either Darkwind's singing or buttered popcorn...
Give him a cape, and he'll be Wannabe Super Dingo! Easy, boy...
Gazoo thanks AAngela for her aid. gazoo then turns to Darkwind and Calliope and says...
"Do we take our bows now? Oh, and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Calliope
Gazoo pats Bowie and Glutton who were such great actors. The two dingoes nod in agreement.
Marj watches with disgust as the now ugly to her mysterious guy walks out of the bronze. She puts her headphones back on and listens to the Cranberries...
Godeater tosses a stray carp that landed on his table on the floor. He watches as the dancing couple are split up by the one called Darkwind. The new couple seek refuge from the water under the booth with the IT and the dingoes. The dark stranger splashes something on the pair of dingoes and is quickly hit in the chin by IT. IT then calls out for medical assistance for IT's dingoes. Godeater quickly pulls out his cell phone and calls the nearest animal hospital and gives them directions to the Bronze. He hears a cry from the lady in the black dress for someone to turn off the water. He mutters something under his breath. All of the water to the Bronze is suddenly turned off, even the toilets. Godeater wonders if anyone needs to use the washroom...he hopes not.
"Gee gazoo," remarks Calli, "I'd love to bow...but I think he has something to say about that..."
She looks at the fallen stranger again....
The frozen body of the stranger stands there, they think it's over. But from the sliver box a voice can be heard loud and booming. ENOUGH! with that cry the water stops the carp stops it all stops. Slowly the confetti and balloon reform the head revealing the true face of the stranger it is Angle Man and he is angry!
"I let you play you birthday gag, Darkwind but that is enough. Gazoo, look at your dingoes they are better then fine, the potion just took it's time..."
Ever see a confused dingo??? Bingo trots back to Avarice, annoyed at being fooled again...
Whelk joins in the congratlations giving, wondering, "is it really Calli's birthday?" Drenched, and smelling of carp, he waves Ta Ta, and heads out the door, a green book tucked under one arm.
Gazoo looks around at the Bronzers. gazoo is very confused.
"Hey, I was all into this because YOU told me that no harm would come to my dingoes (the cutest dingoes in the whole wide Bronze). What's up with that?!"
Gazoo looks at IT's once lively and happy dingoes and they are limp in IT's hands.
"ANGELA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Angela smiles brightly at Calliope and brings out a giant Spike shaped b-day cake for her BAH patient!!!! Happy B-day dearie!! Angela then turns to modestly accept the thank you from gazoo...Welcome :)
Calli leans down and kisses gazoo's dingoes. "We're sorry. No one will ever hurt you again."
She smiles at the exiting Whelk. "Yep, it's really my birthday. And what a bash it's been!
"I don't think it's over yet" Darkwind mutters.
Angela quickly rushes over to the helpless dingoes in IT's hands and starts Dingo CPR (hey, I would do anything to save my precious Borealis). As Angela prays silently to the great Webgod to let the dingoes live, the cute lil things spring alive with life again and all is well. Angela sinks to the ground out of breath. It's not easy being Queen Therapist...
Being new to the Bronze, Godeater did not know it was someones birthday. He searches his pockets for an approprate gift and comes up with.....a small gold chain with a cross on it. He walks over to the birthday girl and offers his best wishes and the gift. He walks slowly back to his table, careful of the carp, confetti and water on the floor. He sits and lights another cigarello. He sips from his sliver flask. He watches....
Angle Man looks at Darkwind, "For her birthday I'll let you live. As for the birthday girl..." Angle Man picks her up by her tiny waist and spins her to the bar. Sitting her on the bar stool the Angle Man opens the box. In a slow pulsating flash of light out steps James Marsters holding a claddagh ring. Happy birthday Calliope. James slips the ring on her hand looking her straight in the eye as he does so. Once the ring is on James kisses her tenderly, her face in his hands. Finally stopping for breath James picks up Calliope and carries it to a private area of the Bronze.
"Did you think I was going to kiss her? remember I have to deal with Night Owl" ;-)
The voice of Whelk floats in, "Happy Birthday Calliope, beware, the Bronze will be bombed with live turkeys in five minutes."
Gazoo is mad and muddled and alot of other "M" words about IT's dingoes. Out of the shadows comes an angel (no, not him), a vision with a RED CROSS banner across her chest that reads, "Kiss a DINGO, their mouths are cleaner than humans!". The vision turns out to be the screamed for Angela. She performs CPR on Bowie and Glutton and saves them once again. gazoo is so grateful that IT hands Angela a large bag of chocolate. gazoo turns and looks sternly at Calliope. Calliope smiles sadly and then comes over and kisses the dingoes. They feel much better.
Can this night get any worse?
The two dingoes growl and hit their paws to their foreheads in a never say "Can it get any worse" gesture.
Calli thanks Godeater for the gift as she is swept away by James Marsters..."wow, this is better than WAW...or at least really close to it!" she sighs. It's been a birthday to remember!
This has been a WITT Production performed on July 5/6 1998 by Calliope, Darkwind, gazoo, Lucan, Angle Man, Marj, tHE hERETIC, Godeater, Miguel, Whelk, TheName/bob, Medusa2306, Witchy Woman, Angela, and Avarice!
