I stand upon the lonely stage and look out at the thinned crowd the lights are dim, and the conversation is hushed, like to be noisy was disrespectful, or maybe, the noisy element was on luch break.
"i look to the bar
and see you gone
though i feel empty
i must move on."
across the room in the back of the bar the Captians were holding a meeting. "we need a new bartender." said morgaine, "the bar wont run on its own."
"All the PINK's resources are at your disposal" minnie supplied. "but I'm too busy right now to commute in every day. new member to train and adore, and all."
"I'll stand behind the bar all day!" Bilbo piped up.
"Yes, but you'd drink twice as much as you do standing in front of it." Dumas commented.
"BAGGINS! YOU are NOT coming home foxed every night!!!" Morgaine flounced over to the bar and brought back a pitcher of water. "well, we've explored who won't take over, but we need to know who will."
i finished my ballad and walked off the stage. i winked at the piano player. thanx. you played that well.
i looked over at the Captain's table and smiled sadly, wondering how the discussion was going.
"why aren't you over there?"
"hmm?"
"the captains, why aren't you with them?"
"Honestly? I never finished the game. I'm a perpetual first class passenger. I got too many sopilers too early to really be motivated to finish, and i was always more distracted by my poetry."
"seriously?
"yeah, though most people don't remember. it's the only reason i'm not admin though." i sighed. "i never played all the game, so i couldn't help others through it... for the best though. I always had too many problems with athority to be athority." i grinned. and walked away.
..."well, is it settled then?" Morgaine confirmed across the room. she waited for the nods to stop, and continued. "we each take one day as interim bartender, and the one who does the best job stays on. who wants tomarrow?"
"I'll take it." said blondie. she got up and came to the bar then, supposedly to check on all the details. she looked alright, but for faint smudges where her mascara wouldn't stay put.
"you get the job?" i asked, not quite sure how to say it, but dying of curiosity all the same.
"no. we're taking turns, we are all taking turns. best one gets it."
I leaned over the bar and gave her a hug. "you'll do fine. all the captians will do fine, thoug Dumas's and Bilbo's turns will be hilarious. I don't think I will want to miss a bit of this..."

(oh look, i have plot for some time now!!!)
oh, and clarical question... is Luke a Captain? for the life of me i cannot remember.... (sorry Luke)
The blonde at the bar drinks lemonade and knows nothing about alcoholic beverages...lol..she would fail as a bartender. However, being sober does not keep her from crying in her drink or dancing on the tables.
Yes indeed, Luke is a captain and a mighty fine one, BUT..never put him in charge of sorting the Delirium Crystals or the M&M's!
