The Drunken Cookie

[Grey Wolf]

(NOTE! Do not worry about reading everything. If this thing gets up to 100 pages or something like that, just read this post, and like the last two, three pages, or at least enough to know whats going on)

Welcome to “The Drunken Cookie“, a place for newbie’s to introduce themselves. Please, nebies only, or staff. If you hang out in this thread and you’re an active member, you should be part of the staff. This will be a place to help new members get on their feet, and a place for them to make mistakes, so they don’t make them out in the rest of the board.

Guess the place should be set up for you, huh? Obviously, it will grow and change and meld as furs use it, but as it stands, the bar is connected at one end to ‘several different cities’. You can come in off the street from a modern metropolis, a futuristic space port, a midevil street, or whatever. Towards the back, the bar opens up into the open fields woods and waters. The man made floors walls and ceilings slowly change into turf, trees, and a forest canopy. How is this possible? Because this is the central welcoming hub to F2F! So, if your from the sea, swim right up and the bar-tender will reserve a seat for you at the beach extremity, or you can swim up the river. Whatever. Don’t stress about HOW it’s set up, just their relative positions.

We serve almost any food, and almost any drink. When I say ‘almost’ I mean, we don’t serve things like ‘dry water’ or ‘meatless meat sandwitches’. We do sell things like subtraction soup! The more you have, the hungrier you are!

Also, please, behave yourselves. This is to make a nice impression upon the community, especially the RPing community. Yes, magic and all that stuff is allowed, but if you stop being fun, or start god-moding, or start doing any of that stupid crap, you’ll find yourself blinked out of existence, and nobody will respond to you.

As of now, here is the staff:

Owner - Grey Wolf
Bartender and Cheff - Idesin
Greeter - Studly
Greeter and chef - Lithargia

____________________

It was early morning as Grey unlocked the front door of "The Drunken Cookie" and switched on the lights. This bar was where the new kids on the block could hang out, relax and get to know each other, before they went off, abet on very different pathways, to the big wide world of role playing. Setting up the chairs and tables, Grey looked around and he knew that this place would become the most well loved place of the newbies who would arrive, over the coming days. Grey also wondered when Idesin would arrive; he was the chef/bartender and it was his duty to make sure that those new members of F2F had all the drinks and meals they needed to make them feel comfortable and at ease. Checking his watch, it was nearly time for Idesin to be opening the bar, but he was not anywhere to be seen. A few more minutes, and he would be late to work for the second time this week.

Also involved in this business was Lupesoule, the bouncer, who's job it was to keep the unruly kind of furs out of the tavern and make sure that all of them followed the rules and got along with each other. He was usually the second to arrive, if Idesin wasn't taking his sweet time with getting ready for the day's work ahead of him. Lupe was a good sort and he always did his job, no matter how rough it would get sometimes. Now the tavern had some portal-type doors that the newbies could go through to enter into the chosen role play era that they wished; medieval and science-fiction being examples. To enter this area, the new members needed to stay around for 15 days till they could be given access through the portals into the role playing worlds that they wished to go to, and Lupesoule would be there to enforce this rule.

Walking through the bar area, he found the door that was marked "Boss". He opened the door with a silver key hanging off his necklace chain, and sat down in his big comfy leather chair and he waited for another day to begin.

[Idesin]

"Morning Boss man!" Idesin called, banging the door open. As he came in though the door, a label above it read "F2F City, 2009". Before he closed the door sounds of traffic and furs could be heard. "Ready for the grand opening? Now that trainings done, we should be all set!"

Putting a few big peacock feathers into the band of his purple top hat, he stripped off his green stripped vest, hanging it up under the bar, to replace it with a silk black one with gold buttons, and the emblem of "The Drunken Cookie" on the upper left hand side. Checking the dishes and plates, he smiled. "Lupe should be here any-"

The door banged open again. The label now read "Noir City, 2009" Gun-shots and sirens could be heard. Running in, he closed the door behind him, the wearwolfs brow coverd with sweat. "Hehe, still can't catch me."

"Just remember not to use your weapons in here without reason."

"Course chief"

"And this is a no yiff zone, so keep your perversion to a minimum."

"O.K. O.K. ... so, ready for more to come?" Grabbing a Guinness out of the mini-fridge on the counter, he cracked it open, walking towards the open field.

[Hawkflight]

((I apologize for the entirely OOC post, and I promise it won't happen again, but how would those of us interested in helping out others sign up to join the staff?

EDIT: You may want to make an OOC thread specifically for stuff like this. ^_^;;))

[Idesin]

Idesin had been scrubbing the bar. Looking up, he saw his friend Hawk, the Kitty-Hawk walk in. "Hey friend! You here to help the Newbies out? Were mostly here to help with questions and teach them a bit about 'storytelling' but there are lots of positions open ... I'm actually going to go out and tell them about us soon, hopefully to drum up some business." He shinned up another glass, putting it back with the others, his tail lazily waving back and forth.

[Grey Wolf]

Grey heard voices coming from the bar, so he up, put on his jacket and walked out. He saw Hawk standing with Idesin, sharing small talk. "Hey there Hawk. I hear you want to teach newbies some stuff before they start off on the journey into the big wide world of role playing?" he said, as he leant on the bar. These three would be enough till they needed more people to be employed as newbie numbers began to grow. "...I propose a toast to The Drunken Cookie and to all of the newbies who come here to learn about the world of role playing..."

[Hawkflight]

I glanced over as I saw the owner of the store walk in. I gave a slight bow as he addressed me. "Yes sir," I said. "But ... perhaps I should reintroduce myself, as I rather fumbled it the first time." I stepped outside, and checked my reflection to make sure I was ready.

Normally, I was a feral, an animal that walks on all fours. But in this instance, I decided an anthropomorphic form would better suit my needs.

I am a kittyhawk. I have the head and body of a cat, a very dark gray cat in my case, and the talons and wings of a hawk. I have dark-gray fur on my head, legs, and tail. I have feathers from my neck to my waist of a similar color, on my shoulders and of course over my wings. On my wings, the downy feather near the top are black, but they give way to larger dark gray feathers. These feathers are tipped with copper, just enough to create an impact.

There's also a tuft of feathers on the end of my tail, dark gray with a copper tip, creating an effect not unlike a paintbrush dipped in copper paint. Also, a spiky tuft of fur grace each eartip. I have blue eyes, and in my anthro form I have black hair, like wind-driven snow, or a steely curtain of the soul. My hair is black, and much like the downy feathers on my wings. My arms are the talons of a hawk, with black scales and sharp copper talons.

I wore a black button-up shirt, but it was unbuttoned, revealing the gray feathers underneath. I wore long black pants, a black belt with a copper buckle, and black sneakers with gray laces. I had a black iPod clipped to my belt, though I wasn't listening to it at the moment. My overall appearance is one that someone into anime, such as myself, would describe as "bishounen". The literal translation of the term is "beautiful boy".

Satisfied with my appearance, I walked back into the tavern. As I walked in through the door, the label above it changed to read "Meadows of Heaven", a reference to both a Nightwish song and the nature of world to which it led. I walked over to Idesin and Grey, nodding to each of them respectfully.

"Greetings," I said. "My name is Hawk, and it is my desire to help those new to the world of roleplaying to avoid many of the ... pitfalls I encountered as a newbie."

((For a picture of my fursona would look like if he were human, and white instead of black, http://www.quizilla.com/user_images/A/AN/ANI/Anime.Fantasy.Chicks/1201783647_nSexyAngel.jpg))

[Nunya Bizness]

Within the large door a smaller door opened as a rodent, a hamster to be more specific, slipped through. He entered backwards, keeping his head poked out as the rest of his body squeezed through, then closed the door after pulling his head in. With a sigh he put his back to the wall with his eyes closed and started to rest for a bit.

Unlike most hamster this one seemed to be a bit over a foot tall (1' 4" to be specific). His fur pattern seem to consist of only two colors with dark grey ears, hair tuft covering his forehead (see linked picture below for a better idea X3), and upper body while his head was light grey as well as from the waist down. He also seemed to be wearing a hand band with a medal plate that had a sunflower seed engraved in it and a scarf (not included in linked picture).

After resting for a minute he opened his eyes, which only seemed to grow wider as he had finally noticed the other three furs in the bar (I'm going to assume they've heard him enter and are looking at him). His eyes moved between the three before he slowly raised a hand and gave a little wave. "Ummm....hi?" He greeted them a bit nervously, his eyes now darting between the group and the door he had just come through.

(Here's the link mentioned above so you can get an idea of what my fursona looks like. WARNING: Lame drawing is lame. XD http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1963631/ )

[Idesin]

"Welcome aboard Hawk. Man, you look really done up today." Chuckling a bit of a laugh as he looked over Hawks up-done figure he nodded. "Looks good." Hearing some scratching he turned just in time to see one of the smaller doors open. This really wasn't all that surprising as they had doors for every size, from ant sized ones to macro dragon ones. Then again, the ones the size of a planet could just come up though the field and forest.

Leaning over the bar he sized up the newcomer, a hamster. He looked a bit like the ones from that anime. Tending to his duty's, he eyed up the glasses. Selecting one that should fit a fur of their new guests size he filled it up with fresh water straight from the spring and put it on a little tray. Putting it on the gold top of his cane he gave it a spin. Carefully, very very carefully, he lowered it down over the edge of the bar to the ground, and put it done right in front of him.

"Welcome to our little bar. I assume your new to F2F, yes? My Name is Idesin, Cookie pimp, welcomer, and global moderator. And you are?" Pausing, he filled in a little more. "I'm also the bartender and cook ... unless Hawk is taking over that." He gave an aside glace to the bishdo bird. "If you want anything just ask."

[Temo]

A door opens and a black furred, almost 6 ft tall wolf walks in. Clad in black jeans and a black t-shirt, his black eyes open in surprise as he stops and takes in his surroundings. This was not what he expected on this side of the door, he turns and looks back at where he came from. Seeing that everything is as it should be there, he turns back and studies the bar.

As he looks around the bar, taking it all in. All the different doors. The way the room fades to grass, trees and forest canopy. He thinks to himself how space, time, and relative dimensions can mess with your head if you let it.

Noticing that the only occupants besides himself were the bartender arranging items behind the bar and a hamster taking a drink from the glass in his paw. The smell of food from the kitchen reminds him that he is hungry so he pads over to the bar and sits down, looking for a menu.

[Hawkflight]

I shook my head bemusedly as Idesin complemented me on my dress.

"Nah," I said. "If I was really done up I'd be wearing a suit. But I see what you mean, I don't normally go anthro. Though, for this situation I felt it necessary to have ... hands."

I nodded to the newcomers, directing my next remark at Idesin as he remarked about my taking over his job. "I'll work wherever the boss instructs me too," he said. "Although, I do admit a certain affinity for cooking."

((EDIT: I heard a couple of interesting descriptions of my characters hair, that describe it well. "Like a steely curtain of the soul", "Like wind-driven snow", and "Like a river of dead swans" are my favorite.))

[Nunya Bizness]

The small rodent looks at the glass of water, to the creature offering it, then back to the glass before hesitantly taking it. He then brings it up to his face and sniffs it a bit. He then takes a sip and swirls it in his mouth. Not tasting anything odd he then guzzles the rest down quickly and sighs with relief before putting the glass back on the tray. "Thank you sir. I needed that."

He then gets up and dusts himself off a bit before bowing towards the group. "The name's Nunya. Nunya Bizness. Ninja for hire. I'd tell you more but it's all classified information." After that he goes over to the door and opens it a bit, peeking through the small opening with one eye for a minute before closing the door again. "I think I'll stay here until things cool down out there. So....where exactly am I?"

[Idesin]

"Well Nunya, your at "The Drunken Cookie". It's one of the many ways to get into the wonderful world that is F2F." Idesin smiled down at him. "There are plenty of places to debate topics, or you can go off and have an adventure, or perhaps you are here to do some research, we have a lot of that too. So, what are your intrest? And if I may ask, how did you find us?"

As the otter talked, he grabbed four menues, two each of food and drink. Filling up another glass with the sparkiling spring watter he put it on top of a stack of the two menues and slid it down the bar to tall wolf, putting just enough force into it that it would stop right under his nose. Taking the smaller pair he put them down on a stool. "Feel free to order something. Everything is free for newbies who come here. Remember to spread the word to all your friends! Were here to help."

[tanaka_chan]

A large lioness strolls in through a medium sized door marked " Rolling Meadows of Narnia" and climbs up to perch on a stool. " Hello, could you get me a large bowl of cream?"

[Nunya Bizness]

The hamster takes the menus and climbs onto one of the bar stools and opens the menu. "Well I can't tell you everything, but I do enjoy collecting various weapons and playing video games. I also enjoy....... a double decker peanut butter sandwich with a tall glass of chocolate milk." He closes the menu and looks up at Idesin. "Please." He adds, smiling a bit as he sets the menus down.

(Seriously....I can easily go through a loaf of bread, a jug of milk and chocolate syrup very quickly. |3~)

[Idesin]

"Coming right up Nunya, and sure thing Miss ..." Idesin let his voice trail off and he bent under the bar to open the fridge, getting a bottle of milk and a bottle of cream. "Fresh from the cow this morning." He said, giving a wink. Reaching up, he spun a large and shallow bowl onto his finger while grabbing another appropriately sized glass for Nunha. Popping both caps off both dairy jugs with both of his thumbs he began to pour, his tail squeesing a bottle of chocolate syrup into the glass as he spoke.

"Welcome to the Cookie Miss. I assume your new here at F2F ... how do you like it?" Topping off the two drinks, he snapped everthing closed with one movement and put them away. With hils left hand he grabbed a silver spoon and began to mix up the choclate milk, and with the other he brought over the large bowl of cream. "Narnia huh? Never been there, how is it?" Keeping his ears open, like any good bartender he pulled out a loaf of fresh barly bread from the cabnints and a jar of all natural penut-butter. With three deft movements he spread down a thick layer of penut butter on two slices of bread, and then squeesed them together with another slice between them.

"Here you go friend!" Idesin said, grinning as he laid down the hudge sandwitch and the small glass of choclate milk.

[tanaka_chan]

the lioness looks over at the little hamster and smiles "you should be glad that I'm a good and friendly lion, because you could be a tasty snack, but anyways hello, I'm tanaka" and then she leans smiles even wider to show her sincerity " And just in case you're frightened, I promise I won't eat you, seeing as I don't like to eat TALKING animals"

[Nunya Bizness]

He stares at the sandwich hungrily, not really seeming to be bothered by Tanaka's comments. "Duly noted. I'll keep that in mind mam." He responds quickly before taking hold of the sandwich and taking a large bite of it. He chirs between bites as he delights in the taste, soon swallowing the chunk and taking a sip of the chocolate milk.

[tanaka_chan]

"Coming right up Nunya, and sure thing Miss ..." Idesin let his voice trail off and he bent under the bar to open the fridge, getting a bottle of milk and a bottle of cream. "Fresh from the cow this morning." He said, giving a wink. Reaching up, he spun a large and shallow bowl onto his finger while grabbing another appropriately sized glass for Nunha. Popping both caps off both dairy jugs with both of his thumbs he began to pour, his tail squeesing a bottle of chocolate syrup into the glass as he spoke.

"Welcome to the Cookie Miss. I assume your new here at F2F ... how do you like it?" Topping off the two drinks, he snapped everthing closed with one movement and put them away. With hils left hand he grabbed a silver spoon and began to mix up the choclate milk, and with the other he brought over the large bowl of cream. "Narnia huh? Never been there, how is it?" Keeping his ears open, like any good bartender he pulled out a loaf of fresh barly bread from the cabnints and a jar of all natural penut-butter. With three deft movements he spread down a thick layer of penut butter on two slices of bread, and then squeesed them together with another slice between them.

"Here you go friend!" Idesin said, grinning as he laid down the hudge sandwitch and the small glass of choclate milk.

the lioness laps at the cream apreciatively " I simply adore the forums here, they provide a nice way to talk to others like myself. Thank you for the cream by the way, its lovely. Narnia is wonderful, I'm sure you've heard of it, it is a land of talking animals and magical creatures and it is a very accepting place. I come from Narnia because I am a descendant of Aslan, the creator of Narnia"

[Idesin]

"Isn't he Jesus or something?" The otter said with a smile. Leaning up against the bar, he looks between them. "So, how new of nebies are you? And would you mind if I asked you to spread word of this fine establishment to other newbies who like to RP?" Munching on a cookie, he looks thoughtful. "By the way Tanaka, you don't have to quote who your replying to, just keep that in mind, alright?" He smiles large. "I'm just here to help.

[Temo]

Temo watches the menus and glass of water slide down the bar and stop under his nose. He picks up the water and takes a drink and setting it to one side he opens up a menu. Glancing at the pictures of various different drinks. Wondering what would be good.

Only half listening to the others as the lioness enters and orders cream, He opens the other menu and looks over the various pictures of different foods. Hearing a peanut butter sandwich being ordered, Temo thought that it had been a long time since he had one.

Making up his mind, he closes the menu and along with the other one, slides the menus to one side and sips at his water while he waits for the barkeeper to finish with the others and take his order.

[Hawkflight]

I glanced over and saw the wolf ready to order. Seeing Idesin was occupied with the hamster, I grabbed a pad and pencil and walked over to the wolf.

"Can I take your order?" I asked.

[Temo]

Temo looks to the kittyhawk slightly puzzled as she was not the bartender that he was expecting. Then realizing that an establishment of this size would have others to help he says "Yes, I would like one of those peanut butter sandwiches. With jelly if you have any... No, wait, make that two sandwiches. And some of that chocolate milk." Thinking to himself that it has been a long time since he had a pb and J.

[Hawkflight]

I nodded and took down the wolf's order.

"Alright," I said. "What kind of jelly would you like?"

[Studley Destiny]

A door labeled "Tigre's, L.A. 3100AD", very very distant from the forest and woods, opened admitting a large grey wolf. Behind him those that cared to look could see flying cars passing as well as both human and anthro people walking down the street. He brilliant blue eyes sparkled and the well-oiled leather of his vest, shorts, spiked bracers, and spiked grieves creaked ever so slightly as he walked to the bar.

Sitting down not far from those he did not recognize, he first waved to Idesin and Hawk. "Good day all. I see the bar has expanded again. I'm glad to hear that business is booming."

Turning to the folks he did not recognize, he bowed slightly. "Hello, and welcome to the best little bar connecting all of F2F. I'm Studley, your super powered, reality manipulating psychic were-wolf and dragon, at your service."

"Say, Idesin, please give me a double of the strongest thing you have when you get a chance."

Sitting back on the barstool, he quietly watched and listened as he waited for his drink. He always found that listening was the best tool in his learning arsenal.

((Here is about the best picture I have for him in this form: http://www.furrytofurry.com/furry/album.php?albumid=929&pictureid=6171))

[Idesin]

As his other customer seemed to be lost in though, Idesin slid down the bar to Studly. As he passed by Hawk he whispered to the kitty-hawk "Pssst, you might want to be a little more descriptive. Were trying to help them out. Oh, also, if you see any good threads let people here know about them."

Grabbing the ingredients needed he walked over to where Studly was. Pouring it all out he smiled. "A Ingergelatic Gargablaster. Best one I know of." Pouring the liquids out the glass began to smoke, and as a drop spilled it ate away at the countertop. "Errr..." He shook his head. "Also, sorry to do this, but active members are here only as workers. Were here to help out the Newbies. Wanna help as a waiter or something?"

[Studley Destiny]

Rubbing his pawfinger over the damage to the bar top, he heals the damage from the spill. Taking the glass, he slowly tips it to his black canine lips and takes a long drink, carefully setting it on the bar so that there are no splashes.

With a wink to the otter, "Well, it seems to me that every bar needs its resident drunk. And seeing as I'm certainly old enough to handle the job, and have lots of practice, I thought I'd apply."

Picking up his glass, he takes another drink. As he puts the glass down, a tiny wisp of smoke curls from his nose. "And, I hate to point this out dear friend, but it's Studley, with an e." He reaches out a paw and taps your moist black nose to punctuate his statement.

"However, if the bar drunk is not available, I'm sure that I can find some form of gainful employment in this fine establishment." He waves his paw around encompassing the entirety of the bar, and every speck of dust disappears, leaving all the decorations, picture frames, windows, tables, and light fixtures shining and spotless.

"I'd love an opportunity to assist those new to these realms. I sometimes wish I'd had a mentor or someone to assist me when I first arrived." Then, with a flourish, he produces a plate of warm, chewy chocolate chip cookies. Sliding the plate down the bar to the others, "Here everyone, have a nice fresh cookie!"

[Temo]

Temo ponders the question for a moment. "Strawberry jelly. And crunchy peanut butter if you have it. And wheat or multigrain bread, lightly toasted." He sits quietly while his order is prepared.

He turns when he hears something about a gargle blaster. Watching the smoke curl from the bar, Temo thinks to himself not to order that drink as he did not need his head feeling like it was smashed by a wedge of lemon that's wrapped around a brick.

After everyone else has taken a cookie, Temo selects one and slowly eats it, savoring the flavors, especially the chocolate. He nods his thanks to Studley for the cookies.

[Grey Wolf]

Grey came out and mingled with the newbies - being boss of the only bar that catered for this type of forum-goer was tough work at the best of times... He found a seat next to a werewolf/dragon. "By that display, I think we could be needing you as a greeter," he'd said quietly, holding out a paw. "Price, Grey Price. Owner and jack-of-all-trades of The Drunken Cookie..." he said to him, taking a cookie and thanking him for the snack. "So, you up for a job as our bar's greeter then? I'm sure you'll fit right in..." Grey said, giving him a smile.

[Studley Destiny]

Noting Temo's nod I responded, "Your welcome. Have some more if you like, the kitchen where they are baked is in an alternate dimension. I have a staff of elves that works round the clock to bake fresh cookies so that I always have plenty at hand. Yup, the Kibble elves. Great bunch of chefs."

Turning to the wolf, "Nice to meet you Grey. Studley, Studley Destiny. And if part time is an option, I'd love to be a greeter. Besides, using the bar to change worlds saves me the hassle of using my directory to find them." Upon saying this, he reaches behind Grey's ear and pulls out a huge bound tomb which he plops on the bar counter with a loud thump. The book is bound in blood read leather with a skull and cross bones on the cover. There are several small post it notes sticking out of the side and top. Opening the book to one of the post it notes, Grey can see that there are nothing but tiny dots on the page. I pull a special magnifier out of a thin tray in the front cover. Holding the magnifier over a dot on the page, "See Grey, each dot is a super-micro-fiche and represents tens of thousands of locations. Do you have any idea what a pain this thing is to use?" He looks up at you as he puts the magnifier away and closes the book. He taps the cover three times and the book disappears.

"And on top of that, Idesin makes an excellent Intergalactic Gargleblaster." I then move to your ear and whisper, "But, I can show him how to make a Pangalactic Gargleblaster, or the even stronger Shrink if your interested." Sitting back, I take another sip of my drink and notice that I need to finish it rather quickly so it does not eat through the glass.

[Nunya Bizness]

Nunya soon has his sandwich finished and looks around at the various occupants that have arrived, then notices the plate of cookies. Also noting that he still had some chocolate milk left he grabs a chocolate chip cookie and begins to eat, smiling at the warm and fluffy texture and it's taste. As he finishes the cookie he drinks the rest of his milk then sighs, feeling full and content. "Thank you Idesin for the sandwich and drink and you Studley for the wonderful cookie." n __n

[Idesin]

"No problem Nunya." Idesin said smiling down at the little rodent. "Now then, anything else we can do to help? Any questions? Point you in the right direction? Or are you looking for something in particular?" He leaned on the counter, looking down towards the fields as he spoke to their smallest customer so far, his tail wagging behind him lazily as he munched on a cookie himself.

[Nunya Bizness]

"At the moment I'm fine. I guess for now I'll have to wait until I get the chance to explore some of the other realms here. I'm not exactly a stranger to the RP world after all." He gives a small wink and smiles up at Idesin. "So until then I guess I'll chill here and see what kind of creatures I might meet along my explorations." n wn

[Temo]

As he waits for his order to be filled, Temo slowly munches on the delicious chocolate chip cookies. He did not know the kibble elves, but they sure do make an excellent cookie. He wonders if they bake brownies too.

Sitting at the bar, munching on the cookies, only half listening to what was going on around him, Temo contemplates the trans dimensional magics that went into constructing the bar.

[Studley Destiny]

Watching the wheels turn in the heads of the various people in the bar, I pull out another plate of cookies as the last one is almost gone. This time I mix it up a bit with peanut butter cookies, chocolate chocolate-chip, snicker doodle, sugar with M&Ms.

Sliding the plate down the bar to the others, I note Temo's look. "Temo, if there is anything you want, just ask. The elves work from recipes that I helped to develop, and can do most anything a good bakery could do. There is one recipe I have not helped myself to yet though. That's Idesin's cookie recipe." Glancing at the bartender, I continue "I really do need to get that one of these days."

[tanaka_chan]

"thank you for the tip sir, I am new to these forums and am sort of unfamiliar with some of the customs" the lioness finishes the cream and pushes the bowl forward " Aslan isn't jesus or god, but he was the creator of narnia and many other worlds, someone doesn't have to be a god to create, they just need the right knowledge" the lioness gives a toothy grin " I dont suppose you know of any good places to chat with people around here?"

[Kumo]

ok im new here at da cookie. so whats it all about... -pulls up a stool to the bar and orders a glass of rum on the rocks. - -sips slowly-

[Temo]

Returning from his thoughts to the world around him, Temo looks at the new plate of cookies, then looks up at Studley. "the cookies are most excellent, but how are your elves at baking brownies?"

[Studley Destiny]

Glancing at the otter, who appears to be sleeping on his feet, I look over to the lioness. "Well Tanaka, I'd recommend that, if you have not had a chance to do so, you read up on the rules and FAQs before diving in. Then for general chat, check out the 'The Tavern' section for conversation and polls." With a laugh I continue, "I get so into the role playing sections that I almost never go there myself. 'The Gazebo' has games and RP if your interested in such things though. Oh, and help yourself to another cookie if you like." Pointing towards a door opposite from the forest opening, "The Tavern is off that way if you were wondering." ((http://furrytofurry.com/furry/forumdisplay.php?f=171)) "Hope that helped Tanaka. If there is anything else, please, ask away. I just might have to defer to one of the more knowledgeable folks that work here though."

Turning to the wolf-of-chaos that just wandered in, "Hi there. I'm Studley, one of the greeters for The Drunken Cookie. We're really setup for the new members, to give them a place to get their feet wet and ask questions. So, if you'd like a job, talk to Grey Wolf or Idesin. I'm sure there are openings."

Finally, getting back to Temo, "Brownies? Brownies! They're great at them. What kind do you like? Regular, espresso, Alice B Tokely, …?" I reach behind the bar and produce a plate with regular, espresso, and extra chocolate chip brownies. "Here, enjoy!"

[Idesin]

Idesin smiled at Nunya. Picking up a pen, he pulled the cap off with his mouth. "Here, try thifs." He wrote down an address on a napkin, handing it over. > http://www.furrytofurry.com/furry/forumdisplay.php?f=243 < You'll find some cool portals there. I'll sugest that you try out some of my yet to be started RP's in the advance yiffy reserved section."

Walking down the bar, he nodded at Temo, making sure that Hawk was taking care of him. Tipping his hat, he continued on.

Picking up the bowl, Idesin turned on the sink behind him and began to hand wash it. "No need to worry about it. Thats what the bar is for. This is a criticism free location. We just advise and help with little prods and pushes." He rinsed out the bowl and began to dry it off. "As for Aslan ... I'm pretty sure that creating a world does qualify one for god-hood, you can fake the all knowing if you can make people think think your all-powerfull, yes? And I would think you woulden't argue with that. Offsprings of gods get a free halo." Chuckling, he tipped his hat and pulled out out, laying it down in front of him as he put the bowl away. "As for a place to chat, I sugest you look at any of the threads in the taven section, but the Off Topic part is pretty cool. Taking the pen out, he wrote down another adress > http://www.furrytofurry.com/furry/forumdisplay.php?f=243 < Nodding, he continued around the bar.

"Oh, hello ... um." Idesin looked around, a little embaressed. "Not to be a prick or anything, but this bar is kinda reserved for newbies, and you've been here almost a year. Ummm ..." He looked to the right and then the left. "If you'd like to apply for a job, were going to have to see a bit more out of you." Embarisingly moving on, he somehow ended up back at Temo.

"I'm not sure. Even me with my great cookie cooking abilities, brownies arn't exactly the same ... it's more like cake ... but not." He chuckled. "Though I do appreciate a cookie as much as the next guy. Finaly, he turned back to Studly. "And you've underestimated me friend." He chuckled.

[Nunya Bizness]

Nunya smiled and took the napkin, folding it up and storing it in one of his hidden pockets. "I shall keep that in mind! Thank you for the suggestion." His nose then picked up the scent of the peanut butter cookies and he grabs a few. "If I haven't said it already, I'm somewhat addicted to peanutbutter." He drools a bit as he stares at the cookies before shoveling one in his mouth, eagerly munching on it with a content look on his face.

[Hownow]

As the sounds of opening entranceways marked the arrival of yet another customer, the light noise of the exterior, and the crowded voices within the resteraunt had mixed for a few seconds, fluctuating as the doors passed eachother on every swing. Entering the establishment was a relatively petite, cow woman. Covered in a lighter brown, if not beige laye of fur, the layers upon her arms fading into a darker brown as it covered her lower arms, legs, nose, and tail.

The clothing she had worn that day had well complimented her, and yet remained a sensible choice of casual dress. A lighter hue of blue had decorated her long skirt, moving down her legs, ending only inched above her ankles, as well as a white blouse, perfectly complimenting the skirt as they were composed of the same fabric, a silk like material that was clearly comfortable, and yet perfect for walking about the town.

Spotting a currently empty table, separate from what appeared to be the bar area, she smiled gleefully, striding to the empty seat and taking a rest once she had arrived. Her petite form did not put much more strain on the bench than other, smaller creatures would have, and so she waited patiently, smiling and greeting those that walked by.

[Idesin]

"You have said that." Idesin chuckled, a merry laugh. "Here ... just don't go crazy." Taking out a peanut-butter jar, he put a knife in it, and laid several crackers down by Nunya's side. "I have a new customer."

Vaulting over the bar, he grabbed a pad and walked over to the bovine. "Welcome to the Drunken Cookie miss!" He announced as he bowed low, seeping off his hat. "My name is Idesin, and I shall help to serve you as long as your here. Is there anything I can get you, or help you with?" He stood back up, the pencil pron over the pad for perfect ordering.

[Nunya Bizness]

The hamster had just finished his cookies when Idesin set the jar on the counter. He stared at the prize placed before him and began to drool once again. "Sir, you have just made a mistake. If needed I will pay for another jar because I cannot make any promises about going crazy." With that he takes the jar and crackers and begins making small sandwiches.

[Temo]

Munching on another cookie, Temo nods in agreement with Idesin about the differences of brownies. He glances around and noted the bovine woman entering and went back to his cookie. Inwardly chuckling about the hamster being addicted to peanut butter, as, he is also an afaciano of peanut butter and foods containing peanut butter. Temo watches Idesin leap over the bar and then reaches over and snags another cookie and munches away at it.

[Studley Destiny]

I wave from the bar as Crissy comes in. "Hi there, glad you decided to come by."

Getting up, I walk to the table even as the otter is busy asking for the bovine's requests. "Idesin here is very knowledgeable in where things are in F2F. I'm still learning myself. Oh, and please, help yourself to a cookie." As he says 'cookie' he touches a tile on the surface of the table, and almost as if by magic, and plate of fresh cookies rises up from a fuzzy spot on the table, although it looks solid and normal enough once the cookies arrive.

[Heyoka]

A door labeled "City" opened as short and slender figure slipped inside. She looked like a coyote, but had the markings of a jaguar, only reversed: black fur with golden rosettes. Her golden hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail and a violin case was strapped across her back. She was wearing a green halter top and jeans, but was barefoot. The noise of the city faded as the door swung shut.

The woman walked over to the small gathering of furs and smiled shyly. "I heard about this place from a friend...she said it was a place for newbies? My name is Heyoka--oh are those cookies?!" Her ears perked up and her smile grew. "Are those for everyone?"

[Idesin]

Idesin, the friendly otter host, nodded his head. "Yup! Care of the friendly Studly. Though I make some good cookies myself." Chuckling, he took a seat at one of the bar stools. "So, welcome to the Drunken cookie. A place for some of us old salts to welcome the newbies and help set them on their way. Now then, is there anything I can get for you, or questions I can answer miss? Who's your friend that told ya?"

[Heyoka]

After hearing this, Heyoka snatched a few cookies from the plate and greedily took a bite. She set her violin case on the floor and plopped down on a bar stool next to Idesin. "Do you have any tacos? And I'll just have water to drink. As for the friend who told me, let's just say it was a little birdie..." Heyoka winked at Idesin before shoving an entire cookie in her mouth. "These are pretty good!"

[Idesin]

Idesin blinked a few times. "Wow, usually takes some training till somebody can do that!" Laughing, he got back up and walked down the bar. Opening up a section, he slid in. "one water coming up. I'll get the tacos started after that. So ... do you play much?" He asked, slicking up some lemon to put in the cool glass he was about to hand to the new customer.

[Heyoka]

Heyoka grinned and said, "Nah, I just carry this around because I like how it looks." Then she broke out into a big smile and added, "Yes I do play." She jabbed a thumb in the direction of the door she came from. "I make decent money busking out there, and it's something I love to do." Heyoka looked around at the bar and frowned. "It sure is quiet in here..."

[Idesin]

The otter, who had been running around, doing this and that, paused to take a moment and pause, catching his breath. "Yes, it is. Somebody needs to tell the other newbies." He chuckled.

[Nunya Bizness]

Nunya looked up and around as he heard the comment about how it seemed to be getting quiet, his cheeks bulging a bit from the peanut butter cracker sandwiches he had stuffed in his mouth. With a few big gulps and a sigh he cleared his mouth enough to speak. "One could probably hear a pin drop with this kind of silence."

[Temo]

Temo says thank you to Hawk as he places the sandwiches on the bar and starts slowly eating them savoring the taste as it has been a long time since he had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. As Temo munches his sandwiches and sips at his chocolate milk, he ponders what he will do next as he studies beyond where the bar changed into forest.

[Idesin]

Idesin, back behind the bar now, takes out some sheets of paper. "Hey, you guys ... I know the food and stuff here is free, but would you mind if I charged you passing word of this place around to the other newbies as they join? Can't have a bar for new people if nobody shows up, right?" He chuckled. "And while your doing that, why don't we have a game of pool, who's up for it?" Vaulting over the bar ledge, Idesin grabs a stick from the wall, throws it up in the air, and catches it with his tail, poseing backwards, ready to shoot the cue.

[loveofyiff]

um i am how do you play *look shy*

[Idesin]

Idesin smiles as a big kitten makes itself known. "Why hi there, I didn't hear you come in!" Racking up the balls, he works on keeping the stick in his tail, but not hitting anybody with hit. "I'll explain the rules as we go, but first you want to use a pool cue to hit the cue ball, and try to send that big triangle of other pool balls flying."

[Heyoka]

Heyoka dropped down from her bar stool and walked over and picked a pool cue from the wall. "I'm terrible at pool, but I guess in every pool game there has to be someone who sucks, so what the hell." As she spoke, she chalked the tip of the stick, making her way over to the pool table.

[Idesin]

Idesin chuckled. "Hey, i'm no pool shark either. But why don't you try to get Studly to help him ... perhaps we should poke him, looks likes he's fallen asleep at his chair." Grinning mischievously, the otter puts a rag soaked in water on the end of his pool cue, and begins to lightly drag it across Studlys ear.

[Studley Destiny]

Almost immediately, as the wet rag is dragged across Studley's ear, it begins to rust. Within moments the entire ear has turned first red, then into powder and fallen to the floor, even as the redness continues to the rest of his head.

From behind him a loud "Uh Hmm!" gets Idesin's attention. "You know, those things are expensive. Why do you think I'm a greeter and don't get behind the bar? They rot almost immediately if they get wet!" When Idesin turns, Studley is standing there with a grin, a pool cue, and a plate of warm cookies.

[Idesin]

"You know, I would ask how if I didn't know it woulden't be entirely useless." Chuckling, he came over to the table. "So, if your a greeter, greet!" He gestured at new furs. Then, taking his stick, he lined up a shot with the cue ball. Striking it soundly, it hit the pack of other balls, sending them shooting everywhere, but not a single one went in.

[Heyoka]

Heyoka blinked at the sight of two Studleys, but she took a cue from Idesin and kept her mouth shut for once. "Hah, you're almost as bad as I am!" she said jokingly as she watched Idesin shoot. "Let's see if I can do any better." Heyoka sauntered up to the pool table and aimed for a random ball that looked like it would be easy to get in. With an intense look of concentration, she took a shot...and completely missed the cue ball. Leaning back, she scratched her chin and said, "Well, I guess I haven't improved since last time I played..."

[Temo]

Starting his second sandwich, Temo looks around at the sudden noise of the white ball slamming into all the other colored balls. He raises an eyebrow as he watches all the balls bounce around the table.

He wonders what kind of game this was and why the object of it was not to get any of the balls off of the table. Temo slowly munches on his sandwich and slowly sips on his chocolate milk as he watches the others play this new game he had not seen before.

[Nunya Bizness]

The little hamster grabs a chair near by the pool table and pulls it close enough so he can watch the game. "I haven't played in a long time. My father would occasionally take me to a bowling alley so we could play." He chuckled to himself and smiled. "Heh...I even pestered him enough to let me have his personal cue stick. Nice lil thing...marble handle with some velvet to provide a grip. Even had a nice wooden case for it."

[Idesin]

"Wow Nunya, that sounds pretty cool." Idesin smiled at him. "Now, watch this!" Taking his pool cue, he went around the side of the table. Lining up a shot with a blue solid ball, he hit the cue ball ... and ended up striking a red striped one, and it went into the left top corner pocket. "Well ... um ... Guess thats means I'm stripes ..." Going to the top of the table, he shot again, and this time sunk the blue solid ball he had been aiming at before. "Guess that means it's your turn then, eh?"

[Studley Destiny]

"You know, I would ask how if I didn't know it woulden't be entirely useless." Chuckling, he came over to the table. "So, if your a greeter, greet!" He gestured at new furs. Then, taking his stick, he lined up a shot with the cue ball. Striking it soundly, it hit the pack of other balls, sending them shooting everywhere, but not a single one went in.

Lowers his head a bit in shame. "Sorry boss. But, well, you and Heyoka were getting on so well I didn't want to interrupt."

Looking up again, he waved to Heyoka. "Hey, glad you accepted my invitation. Great to see you again!"

um i am how do you play *look shy*
Finally, stepping over to the big kitty with a friendly smile on his muzzle, the large black and grey wolf holds out one paw in greeting, and the other with a plate of cookies. "My apologies. I did not see you come in. My name is Studley. Welcome to The Drunken Cookie, a place for those recently arrived to chat, ask questions, and get to know some of your fellow new arrivals. Please have a cookie." He pauses for a moment with a quizzical look and in his eyes it's almost as if you can see the past being replayed like some kind of video. He then continues, "Oh my, you did ask a question. Once again, I'm sorry, as I'm still sort of new to this job. Please to not let my shortcomings reflect poorly on F2F overall. Now, as to your question of how do you play. There are a number of areas where you can interact with the others on the forum. Some are play, some are interactive fiction, and some are conversations. When in the games areas, or the conversational forums, just be yourself. If you find a game or conversation that interests you, read the opening few posts to get a feel for what it's about, then the last few to see where things are currently, then post your entry to the conversation. Outside of the games areas, try to remember to use capitals and punctuation, as that makes the posts easier to read. In the interactive fiction, also know as role-playing, you pretend to be some (maybe even yourself) and interact with others in the thread, creating a story as you go that others can (and often do) follow. Now, I need a drink, and you can ask any questions. Then I'll jot down some of the places you can go for these various options."

Taking a break, he reaches over to the bar and grabs a glass of water that you had not noticed before.

[Heyoka]

Heyoka waved and smiled a Studley as Idesin lined up for his next shot. "Good to see you, too!" Turning back to the pool table, she watched Idesin sink the wrong ball. "Hey, at least you got two balls in" she said. Heyoka walked around the table, looking for an easy shot. Mimicing the pros, she said, "Ah! 6 ball, corner pocket!" Heyoka aimed and took her shot. There was a dull clink as the cue ball hit the 6 ball and ricocheted, aimlessly bouncing off the side of the table. The 6 ball rolled a half an inch to the right.

[Idesin]

Idesin chuckled. "I can juggle flaming swords on a trapease in a gale ... just don't ask me to play pool." Snickering, he lined up his shot. "So ... how did you hear about this place? F2F I mean." Taking his shot, it hit a ball, which hit a ball, which hit one of his balls into the pockets. "Luck wins again!"

[Temo]

Having finished his lunch, Temo sits and watches the game for a few minutes. Deciding that it was time to go, he gets up, noticing that the Kittyhawk had disappeared to somewhere, "Thank you for a most wonderful meal" he says to the bartender.

Looking to the plate for another cookie, he notices that it is empty. He studies the plate for a moment, looking into it, at the residual magic patterns left on it. He then touches the rim with a finger and reenergizing the magic and causinig it to re-initalize, the plate suddenly is full again with several kinds of cookies.

Temo snags a couple of the chocolate chip ones and says to Studley, "Thank you for the cookies." Then to everyone in general, "Good bye, see you all later." He then walks out of the bar and into the forest and dematerializes in a flash of sparkly lights as he teleports himself home.

[Heyoka]

Heyoka lunged for another cookie and waved to Temo. "Goodbye!" she called, right before taking a bite of her chocolate chip cookie. She walked around the pool table, hunting for a good shot. "Well," she said after she swallowed, "Google is a wonderful thing." Spotting a nice angle, she leaned over and made another shot. The solid blue ball she'd been aiming for rolled directly into the side pocket. Heyoka's draw dropped, and she stood in shock for a split second before erupting in a whoop of joy. "Does that mean I get another sho--hey, what's that?" she asked, holding up a paw and examining it. "I feel all tingly...I think I just became an active member!"

[Idesin]

Idesin chuckled. "Indeed you have! I'm not going to tell you to get out or anything, but you should go explore other places ... but I still feel as if something is missing ... all of you have been inviting the newbies here, right?" He looked around. "Well, I guess we'll just make due ... now then ... who else wants to play?"

[riftwalker]

*I walk into the Drunken Cookie a little unsure of where to go or what I should be doing. Swallowing the lump in my throat I looked around and spoke trying not to sound nervous.*

"Umm Hello everyone"

[Idesin]

Idesin the otter smiles widely. Vaulting over a corner of the pool table, he quickly walks over and takes the new wolfs paw, shaking it. "Hi! Names Idesin, I help run this place. Newbie I take it? Wre here to help you get acquainted with F2F. Answer questions, serve drink, that sort of thing." Taking a seat on a bar stool, he pats the one next to him. "So, whats your story?"

[Heyoka]

"Well, I have been inviting newbies, but--" Heyoka stopped as a newbie walked in, as if on cue. "Hi!" she said, waving. "Well, I guess I should get going. You're right, there's lots to explore here. I'll keep directing the newbies this way, and hopefully some of them will stop by. Goodbye!" She opened the door she came from, and the sound of the city could be heard briefly before she shut it behind her.

[riftwalker]

*Taking the offered seat at the bar after getting my hand shaked. Sitting on the comfortable chair I turn to look at otter who introduced themself as Idesin a smile spreading over my face.*

"Most People call me Tal"

[Studley Destiny]

A large black and grey wolf walks over and picks up the stuffed otter, setting him in a handy alcove for the moment.

"Welcome Tal, I'm Studley. Idesin is indisposed for a while and although I'm officially a greeter, I'll be acting as bartender as well it seems." The wolf offered a paw in friendship. "So, can I get you anything to drink? Maybe something to eat? Answer any questions you might have?"

[riftwalker]

*Takes Studley's paw shaking it before gripping him at the forearm, it was how he was used to being greeted. Smiling he released his hold and leaned over to see what the bar had*

"Its nice to meet you, and some vodka would be great."

*settling back into my seat I smile to the bartender*

[Idesin]

Idesin slid off the alcove he had been put on, dusting his bottom off.

"And what exactly was that?" Chuckling, he walked forward, sliding over the bar. "So, whats your story? And any food I can get you? Oh, and can you hand these out to the other newbies?" He says as he offers up some business cards.

[Studley Destiny]

Returning Tal's greeting, "Vodka, sure!" Two shakes of a wolfs tail later, I hand Tal a glass with two fingers of vodka in it.

Seeing Idesin's return I chuckle "Welcome, they said you were on vacation, and you were standing there like a stuffed otter toy, so I just made sure no one would run off with you. You just passing through, or are you back?"

[Idesin]

"Bah, still on vacation, but while I can concentrate enough to continue of some of my bigger adventures, I do like helping newbies." Nursing a foot which suddenly became hurt, he leaned against the shelves behind the bar. "And what about you friend?"

[riftwalker]

*Taking a light sip of the vodka I set the glass back on the bar, swiveling my chair so I could see both Idesin and Studley. Watching the two talk back and forth an easy smile crossed my face again.*

"My stories not that interesting, whats yours"

*Picking my glass back up I take another sip enjoying the warmth as it went down my throat*

[Studley Destiny]

Reaching over the bar with the vodka bottle, I refill Tal's glass.

"Make a deal with you, you tell us some, we'll tell you some. But, you get to start. How did a nice wolf like you end up in an unusual bar like this?"

[riftwalker]

*Watching Studley refill my glass I give him a smile and nod my head agreeing with his suggestion. Running my fingers through the hair on my head I close my eyes thinking about how i got here.*

"Well to be honest I think I was really drunk or something, all I can remeber before standing in this bar is distorted and blurred"

*Shrugging I open my eyes and take another sip of the burning liquid*

[Studley Destiny]

"I found this universe about six months ago while out looking for someplace new and exciting to investigate. I've been poking around and getting into things here ever since. Dimensional travel is ever so much fun you know." As he's speaking, he gets out a tall thin glass and mixes himself a long island ice tea.

"Have to admit that I've made a lot of friends, and now I help out here at The Drunken Cookie part time so I can put back into the community and help out those new to this universe."

[riftwalker]

*Knocking back the rest of the vodka I set the cup back down onto the bar. Looking up to Studley I give him a questioning look*

"How do you know that someones from a different universe, could I be"

[Idesin]

Chuckling, Idesin slid up onto the counter behind the bar. "Uh-uh, this is the place for newbies. But if you insist, I'll give you the short version. I've been here for almost three years now. I used to be known as the cookie otter, because I'd visit every single newbies thread and give them cookies and welcome them, and help them to get adjusted here, but due to time restraints in my real life, I really can't do that any more, hence why I opend this up!" He swepaed his arms around. "By the way, cookies?" He says, pulling his trademark platter of cookies out from behind his back.

[Studley Destiny]

"Most likely actually. I've never met anyone that was born here. Everyone seems to be from somewhere else. Some are just passing through, others stay for a long time. But as long as everyone is having a good time, does it really matter?"

He refills Tal's glass. "Some of us have been to many places, for others this seems to be their first. Some have memories of the time before coming here and others not."

[riftwalker]

*Taking one of the cookies from the otter I smile and take a bite out of it. Swallowing the bite my smile gets bigger, it was delicous and I wasnt much of a cookie eater.*

"That would go great with a white russian, what kind of cookies are they"

*Reaching for another cookie I lick my lips in anticipation*

[Studley Destiny]

Grabbing a clean glass, I quickly mix up the requested drink from Kahlua, Grey Goose, and cream. Passing Tal the glass "Most likely chocolate chip, although Idesin makes a wide variety of visitors. So, are you interested in interactive fiction, group discussions, furry fandom and fur suiting, or something else?"

[riftwalker]

*Taking a sip of the drink studley so kindly mixed up for me I ate another cookie wiping the crumbs off my face and onto my arm. Smiling and giving a chuckle, it seemed these two spent alot of time here*

"Im interested in a bit of everything, I love Interactive fiction, I dont mind discussing points and counterpoints, I would love to have my own fur suit. Anything that lets me express myself"

[Studley Destiny]

I chuckle, "Well then, it seems you've wound up in the right universe for all of that. Are there any specific questions I can hunt up an answer to for you or are you just out exploring? There are many entrances and exits from The Drunken Cookie leading to many different realms, but soon this will be someplace you look back on fondly. And please, if you ever want someone for a RP thread, send me a PM."

[Idesin]

Idesin nods his head as well. "So invite all the other newbies you can, perhaps we can help set some stuff up with you guys, and I would hope all of you who came in at the same time can be friends. As for different universes ... Studly here likes to talk really flowery." He chuckled. "But he's basically right, in his own way. As for cookies, what can I get you? What about a white Russian cookie?" He presents a milky white cookie.

[Grey Wolf]

(Sorry for not replying sooner you lot; been busy with university and stuff.)

Grey felt everything was in tip top condition, so he told Idesin to keep watch over the bar, and call him if anything went wrong. Walking back down to the office, Grey knew he had a good team here. Going into his office, he took off his jacket and relaxed in his lazy chair. "If we get more newbies, we'll have to expand," he thought to himself, as he looked out the window and felt sunrays soaking through the blinds. Today was turning out to be another good day.

[lil_midnight]

*nerviously looks around for friendly face.*

[Studley Destiny]

A large black and grey were-wolf gets up from the end of the bar and walks over to you. He has his left paw behind his back. He sticks his right paw out in a friendly handshake gesture, "Hello! Welcome to The Drunken Cookie. I'm Studley, greeter and fill in bartender. Please, have a seat, order anything you want, and if you have any questions, any at all, feel free to ask. We're here it help!" He then pulls his left hand from behind his back and offers you a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies, "Have a cookie?"

[Idesin]

With a shake Idesin brushes the cob-webs off himself. "Wow, this freese on newbies is really affecting buisness." He chuckles, coming over to the newcomer. "Hey there! And how are you today/night?"

[Grey Wolf]

Grey sat in his office, thinking of a new way to get more newbies into the bar; he then had an idea. Putting his paw on the intercom button, he asked if Idesin could come to the office for a management meeting. "Idesin to the manager's office, Idesin to the manager's office for a meeting please..."

[Idesin]

"Yo!" Vaulting over the bar he walked towards the door. Knocking he made his way in. "What do you want?"

[Grey Wolf]

"Just the man I needed to see..." Grey said, stroking his chin. "Now, about this shortage of newbies at the Cookie, I might have an idea that can alleviate our position..." he said, deep in though. A few seconds later, he had it. "What we need Idesin is to get out there and advertise the bar to them; put up flyers in every place we can..." Grey smiled, "and I'm putting you in charge of arranging all of that..."

[Idesin]

"Me sir? But I thought you were in charge of the newbie stuff? Besides, it's not a lack of people coming to the bar, it's a lack of newbies entering the site. It's still somewhat frozen."

[Grey Wolf]

"Well, sometimes you need a little help, when you are going on a recruitment drive. We just need people to tell other furries about the site, and we need as many of them to sign up as possible, hence why we will need to get out there and promote the site as much as we can..." Grey said to Idesin, hoping that it was going to work and get more newbies to the site, and more role players.

[Idesin]

"Ahhh, you mean outside the sight? Gee, I don't know boss." He sat on the edge of the desk. "It's always been a kinda 'if you found it' sort of thing, i'm not sure how advertising will do ... but if we do get the thing fixed, I will try advertising it a bit more, but we have such a good community here, I don't want to invite a bunch of a-holes who are going to futzs it up."

[Grey Wolf]

"I agree Idesin - we have a good group of furries here and I don't want more a-holes who will ruin it for the rest of us; hmmm, what if we attach a link to the site in our signatures on other furry websites that we frequent?" Grey said, as he got out his computer and changed his signature on another furry website.

[Idesin]

Idesin laughed. "I don't go to any other furry sights, besides FA" he answered curtly.

[Grey Wolf]

"Well, that's a start - we should put a link to the site on our FA pages, and see if that helps with the shortage..." Grey said, as he finished changing his profile on FA, so he had a link to F2F on it. "Now we'll need to see if this advertising works, and we get more newbies here..." he said, sitting back in his chair.

[Angelos]

"The Drunken Cookie," he said slowly to himself. Angelos combed a paw through his white hair. "Well...I got nowhere to be," he decided as he knocked on the door, blinking to see the door swing open on it's own. He looked inside, panning ice blue eyes from left to right to see that the place was almost empty.

"Hello?"

[Idesin]

"whoap! Customers boss man, see you later!"

Jumping off the desk the otter walked into the main bar, smiling as he saw it drift out into fields and water. "Hey there, welcome from wherever you came from. Anything I can get for you, everything is always on the house." Idesin smiled, he liked playing the host-otter.

[Angelos]

Angelos fully stepped into the bar and pulled up a stool, glancing around. "Hmm, Stoli martini sounds pretty good right about now." He paused a moment. "Wait, you say everything's always on the house? Whoa, I think I'm gonna like living around here. Just finally moved into my appartment a few days ago." His lips curled up in a faint smile.

"Oh, apologies. I forgot it's rude not to introduce yourself to people you just met." The white wolf held out a paw. "My name's Angelos. You can just call me Angel if you'd like.

[Idesin]

Idesin smiled at him, tugging on his bar-tending smock. "Idesin. Nice to meet you angle." Turning around, he selected the bottles. "Well, it's on the house here ... this is kinda a nice little area to welcome newbies to F2F in a very friendly environment, especially those who have a big RP bent." Spinning one of the bottles over and over on his left hand he poured one into the martin shaker, and then reversed, spinning with his right while he poured. Finishing up the drink he closed it, shook it, and then poured it into a martin glass. "Anything I can get for you to eat, any questions?" He asked, sliding the glass over.

[Kurios]

A reasonably large, bluish felid with black hair walked into the bar, wearing simple, urban clothes. At first glance he looked like an otter, but as he walked completely onto the threshold, it became clear that he wasn't. While he was raised in English, he hasn't spoken it in a while.
He took a seat by the counter.
"Hey, there. May I please get a Kvass?"

[Idesin]

"Sure ... but you've got a teetotaler for a bartender mate, so you might have to tell me what goes in it." Tipping his top hat, he smiled. "And when you do, mind telling me a bit about yourself?"

[Studley Destiny]

A large black and grey wolf wearing a grey leather vest and grey leather shorts comes across the bar and steps behind the bar. "Hello there, I'm Studley, greeter and occasional bar keep. Since the regular bar keep seems to be out and about, I'll be happy to get your drink sir."

Reaching beneath the bar, he pulls out a good sized stein and begins rummaging throw the ranks of taps on the back wall. After a couple of false reaches, he puts the stein under one and pulls it, filling the stein with an amber liquid. Thumbing his nose at the otter that finally wandered up, he hands you the stein. "Here you go. Anything we can tell you abut F2F while your drinking?"

[Kurios]

"Thanks a great much," said Kurios to Studley as he received his drink, and takes a small sip.
He turned to Idesin, holding back a laugh for a moment.
"What exists to put in the Kvass? Is plain, barely alcoholic drink!"
He calmed down a bit.
"Anyway, my name Kurios. I 116 years old, but I like maintain my youth. One century ago, I fought to restore a free country that was be invaded by crazy, power-hungry peoples."
He takes another sip of his drink.
"Oh, what the fun it been."

[Idesin]

Idesin laughed, shrugging. "Sorry, like I said, I can mix it once I know what it is, but I have to know what it is first." Chuckling, he spun a bottle with his tail. "So, anything I can get for you to eat, or any questions I can answer?"

[Kurios]

Kurios looked at Studley, making eye contact, then back at Idesin.
"I feel in mood for some chicken, please."
He took a big gulp from his drink.
"So, what do you do for the fun here?," he asked.

[Idesin]

"Well, if your into Role Playing, we have a large area for that" He thought for a moment. "Everything from large and dramatic quests to save the world and your love, to short quickies with your neighbor." he chuckled. "you might also check out the woods, fairly good place to hang out. Otherwise you can talk with and debate your fellow furs." As he talked he turned to Studly. "you find the chicken, I'll start the cooking." He brought out a pan. "Any particular flavoring you'd like? And anything you want to tell us about yourself?"

[Kurios]

"I'd like to tell you more about myself first, but that would take a lot of the time, so first I'll answer about the chicken flavoring: I would like it done with the lemon, please."

[Idesin]

Nodding, Idesin chuckled. "We have all the time in the world ... why don't you start by telling me how you got here?" Putting some butter in the pan he let it sit on a low heat. Plucking out a lemon he dropped it on his tail and hacky sacked it over to a cutting board to cut it in half. Taking one half in each paw he squeezed them above the pan. "Dill O.K.?" He asked, getting a little shaker of the herb.

[Kurios]

"Dill would very lovely, thank you!," replied Kurios, who then took another sip of Kvass.
"I got here because I took up a friend of mine on recommendation to go to here. I hadn't a better thing to do, so I decided to check out this place."

[Idesin]

The otter shook his head. Adding in the dill, he went down to the fridge and brought out a few strips of chicken. The breasts, if he wasn't mistaken. Throwing them in the frying pan, he noted the time and pushed them around a bit while they sizzled.

"What friend? Perhaps I know him." He asked, leaning over. "And you are being most mysterious ... Oh well, to each their own, right?"

[Angelos]

"Sounds like you've led quite a life, Kurios." Angelos licked his lips as he took a gulp from the thin martini glass. "Never done anything like liberate an entire country from tyrants." The white wolf sat a little easier on his stool as he finished his drink. "Mind if you could pour me a whisky there, Idesin?"

[Idesin]

Nodding, Idesin took a bottle of Jack Danials. "Good enough?" He asked, putting it, with a whiskey glass, on the counter in front of Angelos. "But you must have done something yourself. Wolves arn't usually the do nothing type ..."

[Kurios]

"That not true," replied Kurios.
"I've fight alongside with the wolves when I restored the freedom to my country."

[Angelos]

"Well, I have done a few things I guess," he started. "And yeah, Daniel's is fine." He took the glass and poured the warm amber liquid down his throat. Placing the glass back down with an audiable clunk, he wiped his lips. "I'm...not very good at talking about myself, not really much to tell, ya know? But I do have one story to tell. It was about two years ago, I was still living up in my home town, and I had to run a few errands up in the city.

"I've never been to the city before so it was a bit of an eye opener to me. I'm walking down the sidewalk, and I see some kids playing in the snow in the middle of the street. There's so much snow, nobody in their right mind would be driving on the streets. Well, that's what I was thinking anyway, but I hear a rumble of an engine and a screamin' screech of tires. I look back, and see one of the kids just frozen in the middle of the street as this car is just slippin and sliding out of control right for him.

"My feet just moved on their own and I pushed the kid out of the way and got hit by the car's front bumper. Well...I don't really remember much after that," Angelos chuckled, rubbing his head. "But when I woke up I was lying in a hospital bed, a big patch of my hair shaved off from the upper left side of my head, and a metal plate the size of my fist replacing part of my skull." He took another drink of his whisky and sat it down, staring at the brown bubbling liquid in frotn of him quietly.

[Idesin]

"Dang ... now that is bravery." He smiled at him. "I'm honored to have a hero like you here at the drunken cookie ... er ... no offense to you." He said, tipping his head at Kurios. "By the way, chickens half done." He said, going over to the frying pan to flip it.

[Kurios]

Kurios looked back at Idesin, confused.
"Offended? Wha...?"

[Angelos]

"Ah, I'm not a hero. I was just there at the time, I'm sure anyone else would do the same thing." He drank the rest of his whisky very quickly and sighed contently, turning to Kurios. "You're a war hero for cryin' out loud. I'd swear, if everything here wasn't free, I'd buy you a round myself. What was it like, if you don't mind me asking?"

[Kurios]

Kurios grinned.
"To sum up whole experience, from the begin of my recognition of tyranny, to being greatest contributor to restore the freedom, thanks to my parents & their aspirations, to the end of the last fight..."
Kurios blushed.
"...it was like the love, no pun intended. Me & best friend, Ryan, after final battle, couldn't suppress need for the love any longer, and yeah..."
Kurios blushed deeper, and then chugged the rest of his drink.
"To think: given my activity, despite depression feeling, back then most everything felt like the love, which was suppressed up to the aforementioned point because of no immediate means to express."

[Angelos]

Angelos sat quietly as he listened to Kurios' story, nodding as he finished. "That's...well...that's pretty cool actually. I mean, you here couples of how much of a fight things were in order to find the right person, and here you and your friend met in an actual fight. It just sounds a little more...real to me. I don't know, I guess I wouldn't really get it sicne I haven't found that special someone yet." Angelos looked down from Kurios to his coat pocket as he reached in and retrieved a hickory wood smoking pipe, a small plastic wrapped bag of tobacco and a book of matches.

"Is it alright if I smoke in your bar, Idesin?"

[Idesin]

Idesin nodded. Then he pointed at the ceeling. "Perhaps you can just move down some some your on a stool out in the trees or field? I don't like smoke, but I can stand it, but I'd rather the wind take it away."

[Angelos]

Angelos nodded. "Well, if you're thinking of cigarette smoke, this is kinda different. Me, I hate cigarettes, far too dirty and a little too...I don't know, common I guess. I don't smoke much anyways." The white wolf got up, rubbing his ice blue eyes drozily and moved farther down the bar, just close enough t ohear the other animals talking as he took a pinch of tobacco and placed it in the bowl of the pipe.

Striking a match, he lit the dried weeds and a sweet vanilla smell wafted about him in the form of a light grey smoke, pulling the pipe from his mouth to blow a circle of smoke from his mouth.

[Kurios]

Kurios blushed as he clarified the nature of the past love.
"No, wait, we met before, in the primary school, before any revolution.
Besides, that relationship lasted short time because we later saw some girls we liked, coming out of the Congressional Office, where the trouble began & formally ended.
They were work behind the scenes."

[Angelos]

"Ah, sorry, I misunderstood you." He chuckled, blowing out a small plume of scented smoke from the corner of his lips. He scratched his ear, glancing around the farther corners of the building.

[Kurios]

"It's okay," Kurios replied.
He looked to Idesin, holding out his empty cup to exchange for one that is more appropriate for another drink.
"Hey, may I please get a wine?"

[Idesin]

Idesin nodded. "Chicken first." Using a fork her put the chicken into a dish, then put the fork with them. Then he reached up for a wine glass. "Red wine with chicken, right? Prefer anything? The benefit of having a bar like this is we have anything you could want."

[Kurios]

"Red wine is fine, thanks," said Kurios, with a brief smile.

[Angelos]

"Anything I'd want," Angelos scratched his chin. "Got any double fudge brownie ice cream?"

[Idesin]

Grabbing a bottle of red wine I toss it into the air. Bending down, I open a small fridge as my tail catches the open bottle and guides the pouring into the wine glass. After several seconds I pop back up, push over a dish of the asked for ice-cream, and cork the wine.

"It really is very nice seeing some new people ... are there many more of you?"

[Angelos]

"Sorry to say, I'm the only one I know coming around here. This place sort of found me than I found it." Angelos licked his lips as he buried his spoon into the creamy chocolate mass and chewed on the small chuncks of brownie mixed in.

[Kurios]

"I did no see any others when I came to here."

[PitNess]

Silently a door on the far side of the room opens. The figure pulled beck the hood on the long coat that had been soaked with rain. The coat was placed on the nearest coat rack and sat at the bar alongside the other patrons. She was short, with patches of blue with black spots inside them, square muzzle, short upright ears, and long blue and black hair .
"Barkeep might i have some kind of strawberry drink no bananna's in it please, and some kind of food covered in chocolate."

[Grey Wolf]

Grey got up from his chair and walked back into the bar area. He walked over to the small group that was seated at the bar and he introduced himself. "Hello there. The name's Price. Grey Price. I'm the owner of The Drunken Cookie and I do hope that you enjoy yourselves and I'll gladly help you whenever I can..." he found a spare stool at the bar and propped himself up. He turned to see the latest newbie arriving. "Welcome to The Drunken Cookie, miss. Grey Price, proprietor, and this here is the barkeep, the friendly Idesin."

[Angelos]

Angelos grinned as he ate his ice cream. "It's nice to see someone new around here," he said to the new arrival, then nodded to the Grey. "And a pleasure to meet the guy who owns this paradise. Free drinks and ice cream, it's like I died and went to heaven."

[Idesin]

Idesin gave her a big, friendly smile. "Oooh ..." He grinned. "Coming right up ..." First he checked the forms. Still there, good. Next, he went over to the blender. Chopping the top off of four strawberries he threw them in, a good dose of cream, and some oatmeal flakes. Blending it all up, he pulled some of the sugared and jucied sliced strawberries out of the fridge. Pulling out the form, he poured the mixture into a large solid chocolate cup. Then he arranged the sugared strawberry slices around the rim, and dropped the rest in.

"Good? Anything else I can get you?"

[PitNess]

"Wow absolutely the most beautiful piece of art I've ever seen!!" She turned the chocolate cup admiring it. Then pulls out a cellphone and takes several pictures of the beautiful drink. "It's soo lovely i'm afraid to eat it... But it's food so of course it must be ate." She picked th strawberry's off one by one dipping just the tips in to the delicious mixture. "Thank you so much, I've not had anything like it."

[Idesin]

Idesin smiled. "Thats what were here form. Now, is there anything else I can get you, advice? Helpfull tips? Directions to an RP you might like?"

[PitNess]

"Thank you, if i do something wrong i was hoping that you would be able to show me the correct way of doing things. Another concern is that the rp's i have found interesting seem to not be going anywhere but a dead end street? I might just be expecting to much though."
She now was breaking off pieces of the chocolate cup. "Would you like to try a little of your own creation?" She held out a peice of chocolate to offer to Idesin.

[Idesin]

IDesin chuckled. "Well, with the RP's, sometimes you have to take the reins yourselves sometimes. Makethe storyline, instead of just reacting to it. As for the choclate, thank you very much." He bowed his head, taking the offered piece and chewing on it. "Does what I say make sense?"

[Evening Star]

The door cracks open and slowly opens just enough to let a figure shyly slip in. A female dog, a mixture of some sort, with white fur and brown and gray markings. Stunning emerald green eyes stare into the room and the girl shyly smiles at the group or furs at the bar.

"Hi,*waves paw* I'm new in town and thought i should take a look around." she nervously giggles and puts a strand of her dark brown curly long hair behind one of her slightly floppy ears.

[Grey Wolf]

Grey got up, and offered the new arrival his seat at the bar. "It'll do me some good to stand up for a while..." he said jokingly, as he told Idesin to give her a drink on the house.

[Idesin]

"sure then! Is there anything in perticular you'd like?" The bouncy otter asked her.

[Evening Star]

she accepts grey's offer and takes his seat. she looks at the bouncy otter with a smile and shyly says,"well, I love rum, can you make me something new with some good rum?" she giggles at herself

[Idesin]

"Hummmn, I belive I have just the thing ..." Sliding down the area behind the bar, Idesin grabs a large, dried coconut. Filling it halfway up with Rum, he began to search over the bar. "Now, lets see, what else can I do?" With a flick and a spin, he began to add all sorts of tropical fruit flavoring, a half dozen umbrellas, lots of wedges of fruit, and to top it all off, a miny action-figure of Captian Jack Sparrow hanging off the side!

"There you are, what do you think?"

[Rokoka]

(I'm just gonna go as some loon of randomness if thats ok :grin:)

Runs by Idesin and says "Where has all the Rum Gone?" Looks at Idesin Cup of Rum and asks can you share some rum all my Rums Gone

[Studley Destiny]

A large black and grey were-wolf steps in front of the even larger ligolf as he looks at the bartender with the unusual coconut drink, which just happens to reek of rum.

Putting one very large paw up he gently slows your forward momentum. Glancing over the bar, a bottle of Capt. Morgan's Spiced rum drifts off the shelves behind the bar and over to his other paw. "Here you go, have one on the house. And I don't mean to be unfriendly or anything, but the bar is reserved for the new folks in town so they can ask questions and poke around a bit, you know, lean the ropes and all. So usually the signs on the door indicate employees and new-in-town only. But hey, you seem like a really nice guy and all. I'm Studley and I'm supposed to be the greeter and not a bouncer. So how about you take this bottle of rum and we go outside and chat, and maybe find a more suitable bar for you to visit?" The whole time he's been speaking, he's been gently steering you towards the door you came in from.

"By the way, your a most interesting hybrid. Lion, Tiger, and Wolf I'd guess? If I'm correct, then you are a rather unique mix based on my limited experience here in F2F. Now, if there is any particular type of RP your interested in, let me know, I'm generally open to get into another RP, or I might know of you you'd find interesting. Sadly though I'm not much for the discussion forums."

[Rokoka]

"But all my rums gone" as he shook the empty bottle Cpt. Morgen and said "but If am to learn I am in need to stay and in order to stay I need to be inside where the rums not gone. So I'll just go and get the rum before it's all gone. Mufasa said as he walked around the one called sturdly

(Pulling a jack Sparrow :strong:)

[Studley Destiny]

"Mufasa, you aren't looking at the bottle! It's full. You see, we have special bottles here, as soon as you empty them, they fill back up. Much better then having hundreds of cases in the back room."

As you step around the were-wolf you find yourself headed for the door.

(*sorry, altering reality is my specialty. Jack would be proud of you though.)

[Rokoka]

O no you don't laddy if the bottles empty but is really full how do you know if it's empty if it was never even full "Mufasa says as he says "Undead Monkey Get the Rum where Leaving" Well lad I must make my leave "Runs out the door and sees a undead monkey with a ship filled with rum and Mufasa says " well look at that all your rums gone well I don't feel like sharing mufasa says as the ship starts to fly.

(But the Undead monkey is unaffected xD)

[Studley Destiny]

Walking back to the bar, the were-wolf pauses by the lovely female canid. "Hello there, I'm Studley, pleased to meet you miss." He holds out a paw in greetings. "I certainly hope your enjoying your drink. When it comes to drinks, Idesin is hard to top. So, is there anything we can tell you about the local, or do you have any questions we might be able to assist you with?" he continues.

[Evening Star]

She looks at Idesin with wide eyes "How did you know? I love Capt. Jack, (and johnny depp). I think this will be the most perfect drink ever! thank you"
She takes small sips of her drink while the were-wolf takes care of the unusual guest.
When he approaches her she accepts his paw and nods in agreement about Idesin and his drinks.
"Well I would like to know the important stuff and the fun stuff. You see I;m completely new to all of this. I heard my mate talking about this place so I thought I would give it a try. But I honestly have no idea what to do or where to go." she blushes and shyly smiles

(OC: This is my first time RPing, and I'm still new to being a furry, which is why my descriptions are vague)

[Idesin]

Idesin slid over. "Well, you might have to be a bit more specific, unless you want me to dump the 15 or so guides on you ..." He whistled, innocently. It wasn't his fault that there was still some blood on them from the last newbie that asked for all of them at once ... they were damn heavy!

[Rokoka]

Mufasa walked back into the bar and sat down and put his feet up and said "I got my rum my lovely rum as a monkey wobbled around the table it was easy to see the monkey was drunk

[Idesin]

Idesin turned towards Mufasa, his eyes narrowing. "I belive it's been explained to you ... unless you are hired here to help guide the newbies, or are a newbie yourself, it is strongly, strongly recommended that you find another bar. Now then, while you may find this place fun, it's to help newbies, so will you please vacate the presence?"

[Rokoka]

But I am a Newbie a Newbie at love so I came here so am following the rules unless the rules are set by another bit of unsaid rules that are not really rules but things we follow with knowing were following the rules at all so I am following the Rules

[Idesin]

...

:neutral:

*pulls out ruller and slaps your paw*

"Allright, if your going to be here, i'm going to treat you like a newbie, but you don't get the kindness, because you SHOULD know better!" The otter growled, pulling out a riding crop. "First of all, talk so that people can understand you, got it!?"

[Rokoka]

(Just remember I'm just the local loon in the RP)

I'm afraid I can't I'm mentally challenged about following rules mate cause when I follow rules bad things happen and when Bad things happen I can't find where all the Rums gone so if you would Kindly "Pushs the Ruller away" Put your little slap stick away am harmless really "Mufasa said with a cheeky grin" Besides that what can little ole me do am just a drunk with a Undead monkey

[Idesin]

*pulls out ban-hammer* I am warning you. You are either going to stop fooling around, or I will temp ban you.

3 ..."

[Evening Star]

coughs in her paw in an attempt to clear her throat and bring Idesin's attention back to her.
"Well I don't think that will be necessary, I just need the important stuff. I read in the rules that this is the place to mess up, to learn from mistakes. I guess i need to know how to not mess up..." she looks around bar "I guess, I'm here to learn, by practice"

[Idesin]

Idesin turned around, chuckling. "Sorry about that. Pratice eh?" He thought for a moment. "Allright, how about this for pratice. I would like you to get up, go to the juxt box, select a song, and then dance to it. Really try to work on your RPing skills as you do so."

[Evening Star]

she laughs "I don't know how dance, so all I'll be doing is embarrassing myself, *sigh* but I guess I'll do it. Could you point out where the jute or juxt box is please?"

[Idesin]

Idesin chuckled. He pointed over to the wall, where a big neon record player was. "Don't worry about the dancing. I'm not doing too good right now because i'm quite rushed, but take your time. Make a good, descriptive, reflective post out of it."

[Evening Star]

She looks at Idesin and then at the record player and back at Idesin, debating what to do. she takes another sip of her drink while staring at the player. she wipes her lips on the back of her paw and wipes it off on her long skirt. she puts both paws on the bar and pushes her stool out and jumps off.
she tucks a strand of her hair behind one of her ears. she slowly walks towards the direction Idesin point. the closer she got to the player the more the neon reflected on her.
finally she had reached it and the screen lit up her face she scrolled through the songs. taking her time, she wanted to make a good impression, and with dancing that's hard to do. she pushes the button on the player to flip through songs. she taps her claws against the glass occasionally debating what would be best. finally she saw it and her tail began to wag as she selected the numbers to play the song.
as the music started to play she turned around to face Idesin and smiled. the lyrics filled the room "you aint nothing but a hound dog..." she took her left paw and pointed to the right and swept it across the room to the beat of the music to her left and then quickly changed to her right paw and did the oppesite "crying all the time..." then she started laughing and doing the twist. "...and you aint no friend of mine..." she would occanisly point her paws in the air.

[Studley Destiny]

At first Studley stands behind the bar in stunned silence, then he looks at Idesin with a raised eyebrow. Once the record stops, he begins clapping. "That Was Great!"

Noticing that her drink is empty, he mentally reviews what he saw Idesin doing earlier and makes her another. Placing it on the bar where she had been sitting, "You're a ringer right? I mean, I've seen people with years of experience that could not do that well!"

"Oh, and don't take Idesin too seriously. That stack of heavy books were the extremely large print editions. He saves those for the really dense folks that come in from time to time."

"As for the fun stuff and the important stuff. Do you want to look into role playing or more realistic discussions? If you are interested in role playing, do you want to be involved in sexual situations or not? And those questions just give us general directions to point you in" he says with a smile.

[Hawkflight]

I glanced at myself in the nearest reflective surface to make sure I was ready for work. I had been here before, but forced to leave due to circumstances beyond my control. But now I was back, and curious as to how people would receive me, now that I'd solidified my fursona (for the most part).

Normally, I was a feral, an animal that walks on all fours. But this time, a juvenile anthropomorphic form stared back at me. It was only 7-8 years old now, but what it lacked in experience and height it made up for in cuteness.

The face that stared back was the face of a young kittyhawk. He had the head and body of a very dark gray cat and the talons and wings of a hawk. I had dark-gray fur on his head, legs, and tail. I had feathers from my neck to my waist of a similar color, on my shoulders and of course over my wings. On my wings, the downy feathers near the top are black, but they give way to larger dark gray feathers. These feathers are tipped with bright copper.

There's also a tuft of feathers on the end of my tail, dark gray with a copper tip, creating an effect not unlike a paintbrush dipped in copper paint. Also, a spiky tuft of fur grace each eartip. I have blue eyes, and in my anthro form I have black, artfully messy hair. My hair is black, and much like the downy feathers on my wings. My arms are the talons of a hawk, with black scales and copper claws. However, they were far from dangerous, they were still as soft as skin. I wouldn't be hurting anyone with them for a couple more years. I wore a simple martial arts gi with a white belt, and a blue collar with a large golden bell.

Satisfied with my appearance, I walked into the tavern. As I walked in through the door, the label above it changed to read "Meadows of Heaven", a reference to both a Nightwish song and the nature of world to which it led. I padded over to Grey, bowing respectfully. Sitting on my knees, bowed at Grey's feet, extending my arms in the tradition bow.

"Hail, sensai!" I said. "I have returned to complete my training, as I promised!"

((Remember, I'm only 8. XP))

[Evening Star]

She laughs and walks back to her seat with a little more confidence and sat down.
"Thank you and Thanks for the drink Studley,*takes a sip* and I'm not sure what you mean by a ringer, and people with years of experience. as for Idesin, I could kind of tell not to take him too seriously*giggles* but anyway to answer your questions Studley, my answer is yes*smiles* role playing, discussions, most situations, I probaly wont be getting too involved with much yiff forms or sexual forms, since I do have a mate, I would only want to learn those for him*blushes* and I'm not afarid to answer any questions you may come up with"

[FelixTheCat]

A figure became visible through the front window, a young cat in his late teens stopped and looked up at the sign. He was on the high end of average height, with dazzlingly white fur only interrupted in a few places by spots of black. a cascade of black hair came down from his head and stopped at about his shoulders.

He was wearing a long, pale-yellow t-shirt with a buttoned-down over-shirt (which was a washed out red, white, and blue plaid. His plain blue jeans rode at hip level and came down around his bare paws. There was a single, bright-yellow flower in his hair.

He stopped examining the sign and pushed open the door, striding mellowly to the counter. "Hey, you got any Tofu Chow Mein?" He asked, looking around at the surrounding patrons. His tail flicked back and forth.

[Idesin]

Idesin chuckled, sliding back into view. "Sure thing, but might take me a while to make. Why don't you take a seat." Grabbing a Wok, he began to prep the meal. "So buddy, whats your story?"

[FelixTheCat]

The cat plopped down in a chair and got comfortable.
"My name's Felix, and I'm on my way back from my Summer pilgrimage." he said, "Great stuff, y'know. I guess you could say that I'm a runaway, but that was a few years ago. I'm 19 now, which makes me a free feline."

[Idesin]

Chuckling, the otter in the top hat spooned the food into a bowl for the kat. "Now then, will that be silverware or chopsticks with that? Or silver chopsticks?" Chuckling, he also swept his arms at the drinks, not just alcoholic. "Roy Rodgers? Shirlee Temple? anything I can get you? ... also, are you having a good time in town yet? Finding any buddies?"

[FelixTheCat]

Felix idly twirled a lock of hair around his finger, "Chopsticks are fine, and a Soy Chai would be excellent." He became conscious of his hair twirling and pulled his hand away, slipping it into a pocket. "Yeah, it looks like a pretty cool place, people are friendly enough anyway. I I don't know how long I'll be in. I think I may have found a place to stay, but if it doesn't work out I may have to move on."

[Idesin]

Nodding, the friendly otter got him a pair of cherrywood chopsticks and some Soy Chai. "Well, I do hope you find a place to stay! If your having trouble finding your way, I'd love to give you a tour around town or something ... perhaps help you get your feet under you or somthing? But if you can't stay, then you can't stay. Got to do whats right for the number one cat, eh right?"

[FelixTheCat]

Felix laughed, "You know it. That sounds cool, totally should sometime." As soon as thew plate hit the table he broke the chopsticks and started plowing into the Chow Mein ravenously, taking large swigs of his tea in between.

[Idesin]

"So, how did you find you way here? Any friends bring you here, or some such deal?"

[Hawkflight]

I blinked as I looked up, looking around. "Wait a minute...." I paused. "This isn't the dojo!" I hopped back onto my feet, looking around for the wolf in charge. "And where's Grey Wolf?"

Brushing the dust off my gi, I padded off to change. "I'll be right back!" I assured the otter, who seemed to be the one in charge in the wolf's absence. Dashing off, I quickly returned wearing simple, ragged street clothes. I was also now wearing a pair of black roller blades, with copper wheels. A whining noise eminating from them indicated the presence of a small motor. I leaped up onto the bar, grinded down it, and landed in front of the otter. "So, how can I help?"

[Idesin]

"Well, how would you like to be my aprentis? I've got to be doing some other work during the day, so if you could cook and mix and talk, that would be awesome ... i'm sure you'll be a great peopole person ... er, furigivitly speaking."

[Hawkflight]

I nodded eagerly. "I can do that!" I assured the otter. I dashed over to Felix, grinding to a halt as the otter went off to do his homework (I hoped). I looked up at the older cat, then hopped up onto the counter and sat down so I could be eye-level with him.

"So how can I help you?" I asked.

[FelixTheCat]

"Sounds like fun, plus, I could use the money..." He took a final bite and dropped the chopsticks on the plate. "When do you want me in?"

[FelixTheCat]

OOC Wait, who was talking to who?

[Hawkflight]

Eheh, sorry. ^_^U You were talking to Idesin, and then I was talking to Idesin, and he asked me to help him out because I work here as well now. Then he left to go do his homework, so I stepped in. ^_^U

[FelixTheCat]

Oh, disregard the last two posts then.

He examined the newcomer with a curious eye, he'd heard of Kitty Hawks before, but never actually seen one, this one was pretty young as well. Felix smiled charmingly, "I guess it's time for desert, so I'll have a Banana SoyCream Pie, if you have any.

[Hawkflight]

((OOC: Shifting to a 3rd-person perspective.))

The kittyhawk nodded slowly as Felix ordered his desert. "I think we have some," he said, deep in thought. "That's, like, Banana Cream Pie, but with soymilk, right? Coming right up!" With that, he jumped up and dashed into the kitchen, looking around for the desert section. Finding it, he saw some pie already in the fridge.

Cutting out what he deemed a reasonable portion (to him, most people could consider it a large slice), he placed it on a plate. Grabbing a fork, he dashed back to Felix, grinding down the bar as he traveled. He set the plate and fork down in front of him.

"There you go!" he said cheerfully. "Once slice of Banana SoyCream Pie!"

[FelixTheCat]

Felix was impressed, which was hard to do with some of the things he had seen. "Wow, you guys seriously do have everything. Most people have trouble serving me, seeing as I'm a vegetarian." He waited for the inevitable laugh, which is what most people did when they found out. He didn't mind, it was a little ironic that a cat (naturally being a carnivore) was adverse to eating meat.

[Hawkflight]

Hawk tilted his head, looking at the cat. "Really? You're a vegitarian?" he asked. "Why?" He found it odd that a fellow feline would be adverse to meat, but that was his choice ... just as long as the kittyhawk could still have his voles.

[FelixTheCat]

He leaned his chin on an open hand and struck a serene expression, "I've always thought that it was a little strange that I should expect another living creature to give up his life so that I might live one more day. It always made me feel like some Aztec god who needs sacrifices to live," He frowned, "Not that there's never any temptation..."

[Hawkflight]

Hawk jumped back onto the counter, letting his legs dangle over the edge. Looking at the cat, he tilted his head slightly.

"But what about the circle of life?" he asked. "We eat them, then die and become the grass they eat. Right?"

[FelixTheCat]

He took a bite of the pie and quivered, "Man, this pie is really good. Best thing I've eaten all week." He wiped his mouth and cleared his throat, "Yeah, well I'm still part of that, just on a smaller scale. I eat the plants, I die, and then the plants eat me. It's all good." He sighed, "Just a little hard to find food on occasion. Especially in my situation."

[Hawkflight]

Hawk observed the cat as he ate his pie, and explained why he was a vegitarian. "I see," he said, not really seeing. He kicked his feet against the bar, just fidgeting as he waited. Finally, he jumped down onto a chair.

"I'm bored," he said, finally. "Wanna play a game?"

[FelixTheCat]

Felix arched his back deeply. "Sounds like fun. What'll it be?"

[Idesin]

Silently, the oven behind the bar openned, and the otter stuck his head out of it. Thought he had a lot of work to do, he did want to keep an eye on the bar. He smiled as he heard that Felix was a vegetarian. He'd been both a vegan and a vegetarian for a while, mostly because he was un-able to reconcile his love for and wanting to be an animal with eating them. But then once he realized he wouldn't mind eating those dirty humans either ... Smiling, he silently slipped back into the oven, letting it close behind him.

[Hawkflight]

Hawk leaned back, looking at the ceiling for a moment. He glanced at his wheels and grinned, then shook his head. No, that wouldn't be fair. Then a grin lit his face again, as he glanced back at the cat.

"You're not-it!" he said.

[FelixTheCat]

Felix was a little confused. "Wait, are we playing tag?"

[Hawkflight]

The kittyhawk shook his head with a big smile on his face.

"Nope! We're playing not-tag!" he said. "I just didn't tag you. Now, all you have to do is not-tag me back, and I'm not-it!"

[Idesin]

The otters head popped up out of one of the circular girls. What the heck was this kitty hawk up to? Slowly, he lowered his head back down.

[FelixTheCat]

Felix laughed, "Well, I guess that you're not-it then!" It was an interesting enough game, though not to hard. There was something he enjoyed about its backwards nature.

[Hawkflight]

The kittyhawk giggled and jumped down to the floor, dashing forward on his motorized roller blades. He rolled forward, not-touching the cat, then started wheeling circles around him.

"You'll never not-tag me!" he boasted.

[FelixTheCat]

Felix giggled at the little Kitty Hawk's antics, "Oh, but I thought I had already not-tagged you."

[Hawkflight]

Hawk slid to a halt as Felix mentioned he'd already not-tagged him.

"Oh ... right," he giggled embarressedly. He ran a talon over his chin, then started dashing away from the cat.

"You're not-it!" he declared. Laughing, he dashed toward the cat.

[FelixTheCat]

"Right," Felix smiled, "I have to leave soon, but I can play one last game with you." He put his hand into a pocket and pulled out a Quarter. "See this coin right here, I'm going to place it in one palm, you guess which side it will land when I flip it over to the back of my other hand." He slapped the coin onto the back of his other hand, when he removed his hand it was, as expected, showing the other side of the coin. "Simple right? If you win, I'll pay double my bill... but if you lose I can leave without paying anything." He flipped it back into his other hand. "Deal?"

[Hawkflight]

Hawkflight skidded to a stop as he reached the cat. For a fleeting moment, he wondered what would happen if Idesin found out he bet away the tab. This thought, however, was quickly banished from his mind when he saw the shiny coin.

"Alright!" he said, nodding eagerly. He jumped back onto the bar, watching the cat prove the authenticity of the coin. "I choooooose ... tails!" The kittyhawk waved his tail excitedly as he watched the coin, waiting to see the result.

[FelixTheCat]

The coin was on heads on his hand, so naturally it would land on tails when flipped. But he wasn't about to flip it naturally. In an instant his right hand was firm against the back of his. He lifted his hand slowly to reveal...

Heads. The coin was on the same side it had started on.

[Hawkflight]

Hawk frowned as he watched the cat. "Cheater!" he pouted. "That's not the way you flipped it before!"

[FelixTheCat]

"Yeah, but I never said I'd flip it the same way again," he rubbed his chin, "Well, I'm not a completely terrible guy, so I show you how to flip it. Maybe you can win some money from a someone else to pay off my tab."

He took the coin and did the flip very slowly, if you watched carefully you could see that he did not actually flip the coin, but rotated his hand while it was momentarily suspended in the air.

He threw it to the kid, "Think you can do that?"

[Hawkflight]

"Hmph, you implied," Hawk muttered. He watched carefully as the cat showed him the trick, his eyes following the coin. He didn't flip it! the kittyhawk realized. As the cat threw the coin to him, he got an idea. He caught it in one talon, practicing the flip. As the coin was in the air, he didn't actually flip it, but instead rotated his hand when it was suspended in the air. Catching it again, he saw the coin was on the same side.

"Hey, cool trick," he said. He tried it again, success. "Alright then, tell you what. You and me, double or nothing. If you win, I'll give you a free slice of pie, to go. If I win, you have to pay triple your tab."

[FelixTheCat]

"Sounds good," He could always use more pie. He figured that since he knew the trick it would be easy to predict.

[Hawkflight]

While nothing showed on the kittyhawk's face, inside he was giggling with glee. I've already won, he thought. Later, he might be proud he'd kept such a good poker face under pressure, but for now his mind was already on the coin toss.

"Alright," he said. He rolled the coin down his sleeve, fumbling it and catching it in his talon. "Hehe ... close one," he said. He held the coin in his palm, heads showing. "Now, call it."

[FelixTheCat]

Felix had to admit that this kid had style, though he didn't know why someone would challenge you to your own game, "Heads."

He sort of chuckled to himself, until he thought it through a second time. He stopped laughing immediately, his wallet was going to be a heck of a lot lighter in a moment.

I actually invented this slight of hand irl. I constantly use it in coin tosses to make my friends pay for dinners and such.

[Hawkflight]

As he tossed the coin into the air, Hawk's eyes locked with Felix's. You cocky poopyhead, he thought. You fell for it. As the coin soared into the air, the cat suddenly stopped laughing, knowing all too well what was about to happen. Hawk moved his hand up, twisted it, and caught the coin, slamming it onto the back of his other talon. He moved his hand aside, revealing the coin had landed ... tail up.

"I win," he said. He stepped forward, tossing the coin back to the cat. "I win ... because I play by the rules." He hopped back up onto the counter, facing the kitchen, away from the chat. "There is one more thing you should know."

With a smirk, the kittyhawk looked over his shoulder at the cat. "The food here ... is free. Tabs do not exist in this place."

[Idesin]

A tile above the two slowly moved aside, and Idesins head poked out. He chuckled at what they were talking about. Not sure that Hawk knew the rules, the otter rolled up a note and tossed it onto the ground. By the time they would look up, he'd be long gone. the note read:

Hawk,
FYI, no newbie has to pay a tab at the drunken cookie.

[Hawkflight]

((Whoops, edited.))

[BC fox]

BC fox rushes, in takes care of all the newbies tab. Im in such a generous mood,no need to thank me.

Coaches the newbies here are the rules, chuckles and wonders off, such a good mood.

[Hawkflight]

((Uh, BC, there are no tabs here. I was just hustling him because it's fun. XP))

Hawk glanced as he saw BC Fox enter, and then leave. Huh, he thought. Wonder what that was all about.

[FelixTheCat]

Felix looked at the kid for a moment, and then started laughing uncontrollably. He had made him look like a complete idiot and come out entirely unscathed, all without any trickery or deception. That was talent.

"Well kid, looks like you've bested me. You can keep the coin and the trick, and I think I'll get back to my journey." He got to his feet and began walking toward the door. "Maybe I'll stop in again sometime."

[Hawkflight]

Hawk giggled as the cat admitted defeat, and gave him the coin and the trick. "I'm glad I won't have to forget it," he said. "Last time I tried was pretty painful." He hopped down off the counter and wheeled after him.

"You know," he said, as the cat stepped out the door. "You're pretty fun to play with. I hope we meet again."

[FelixTheCat]

The Cat gave a smirk over his shoulder. He picked up a guitar case that he had left at the entrance and slung it over his shoulder, "Don't doubt we will, man." He pushed through the door and disappeared into the growing night.

[Hawkflight]

The kittyhawk smiled as the cat left, then wheeled back inside. The place was pretty much deserted now, and he, being 8, was already bored.

"Hello?" he called, his voice echoing. "Is there anybody here?"

((OOC: And yes, Idesin, I did know. I was just having fun. XP))

[Studley Destiny]

Studley popped up from where he'd been napping behind the bar. "Yo, Hawkflight, what's up? Been much going on? I must admit that my heavy work schedule caught up with me and I took an overly long nap. Hope I didn't miss greeting any visitors."

[BigDragon]

The black dragon flew down and landed in front of a wooden door. He glanced behind him and saw the interesting transition between forestry and sky. He glanced up and saw the name of the pub etched in cursive writing.

"Hmm...The Drunken Cookie. Funny title for a pub, guess I'll check it out."

He opened up the door and glanced around to see who was inside. Strange enough he didn't see any one but instead a plate of cookies sat on the bar counter. He strolled in and shut the door. He licked his lips as he walked towards the cookies

"Oh, I hope they have my favorite type."

He reached the cookie platter and looked up and down but his smile soon changed to a frown as he didn't see his fav cookie.

"Aww no Chocolate with pecans. Or White chocolate with Macadamia nuts. This is blasphemy."

[Idesin]

"Blasphemy? These! are! COOKIES!"

An otter in a green vest and purple top hat seemed to pop out from nowhere behind the counter with two small platters of cookies, one in each paw. On the right was chocolate with pecans, and on the left was white chocolate with macadamia nuts.

"Welcome to the Drunken Cookie friend, where we have everything that a newbie could possibly want! Shall I get you anything else?"

[Hawkflight]

Hawk had been sitting on the counter, bored as a 7-year-old kittyhawk could be with no visitors. Soon enough, however, another newcomer entered the bar, sparking the place back to life. Joyfully, he hopped down to the floor, using his wings to balance on his roller blades. Leanind forward, the small motor in them screamed (or more like whined) to life, sending him rocketing toward the newcomer.

"New people!" he cried. Leaping up onto a chair to be eye-level with the newcomer, he looked at the dragon with a smile. "Welcome to the Drunken Cookie!"

[BigDragon]

The dragon a bit surprised by the two appearing from almost nowhere jumped a bit. He tried his best to play it off and assumed they were the staff of this establishment. He glanced in front of him at the interesting character and saw it as a cute little cat/hawk something. His eyes veered a bit to the cookies he desired but he didn't want to be rude. He rubbed the kids head with a smile and began to greet them.

"Hey there little guy. Thanks for the welcome. You can call me Jefferson or J for short. Not Jay but J. There's a difference trust me. Now if you'll excuse me that very snappily dressed otter has two plates of cookies with my name on 'em."

He sidestepped the chair, walked up to the counter and took a seat. He directed his eyes to the otter and enjoying his outfit yet again prepared to order.

"Hmm go ahead and toss in a ham and turkey sandwich with lettuce, pickles and salt and pepper. And to drink I believe a Mixed fruit smoothie would rock."

[Thorben]

The large jackalope fell from the sky screaming. "Aaaaaahhh!" Thudding in the seat next to the dragon. Blinking as his nose twitched and he looked around a little. Slightly confused he saw the plate of cookies and grabbed a pawful and munching away happily. Ears perking a bit as he hears talk of smoothies. "Ooh that sounds great. Could I get a mixed berry smoothie please?"

[BigDragon]

The Dragon jumped again startled that another fur just dropped in. He almost dropped his cookies which would have been bad for everyone.

"Darnit doesn't anybody know how to do a regular entrance around here. I almost dropped my cookies. Well what's your name kid. I'm Jefferson but just call me J. Not Jay but J cause there is a difference."

[Studley Destiny]

A large black and grey were-wolf walked in through a door marked 2145. While the door was open, those in the bar could glimpse busy streets teaming with all manner of life forms as well as flying cars and buildings reaching as high as they could see against bits of brilliant blue sky.

Walking around the bar, he paid little heed to the exhausted otter and the sleeping kittyhawk.

"Hi there J, pleased to meet you. I'm Studley, greeter and fill in bar keep here at The Drunken Cookie. Since you asked for a regular entrance, I thought I'd give you one. We aim to please here at the Cookie."

Moving with amazing speed, the were-wolf started two fruit smoothies as well as J's sandwich. Speaking over the noise of the twin blenders, "So, a jackalope, we don't see many of your kind around. What’s your name, if I may be so bold as to ask and what are your interests?"

The blenders stopped just as he finished speaking, so holding up a paw in the universal "I'll be right back" sign, he spun around, grabbed two glasses that looked like stacked fruits, seemingly from no place, pours the smoothies and set them down in front of the dragon and the jackalope. Without a pause he spun around again and finished the sandwich, platting it as setting it in front of the dragon as well.

"There we go, now I can properly pay attention."

[BigDragon]

The Dragon took a healthy bite from the sandwich and after swallowing gulped half of the smoothie.

"Ah I needed that. Thanks for the 'normal' entrance. I'm sure that's about as normal as I'm gonna get 'round here but then who likes normal anyway. Thats a pretty nice sandwich buddy."

[Idesin]

There came a groan from the otter on the floor behind the bar. "Ugh ... too much candy ..." Struggling up, he saluted Studly. Then he turned to the dragon "er .... sorry for my un-professionalism ... so, what brings you to F2F?"

[Hawkflight]

Hawk had fallen asleep, leaning on Idesin, using him as a pillow. When the otter moved, he disturbed the kittyhawk, who quickly shook himself back to consiciousness.

"Wha--?" he mumbled. Then he blinked a few times, realizing where he was. "OH! Sorry! Sorry!" he stampered, rushing over to the two newcomers. "Um, welcome to F2F, can I get you anything?"

[BigDragon]

The dragon took another bite and waved his hand carelessly at the otter.

"Eh don't sweat it. I'm surprised I was here as long as I am now remembering some of the other people who came here. They seemed to dissapear at times for some reason. Besides he got you covered."

He pointed over at the were-wolf giving him a slight nod.

"As for why I'm here it's mainly to get my adventure on. I have been bored for much to long and wish to take my creative skils to tha next level."

[Idesin]

Hummmn ... sounds intersting ... I'm an otter to talk to about adventures. What were you thinking?

[BigDragon]

"Hmm any kinds of adventure really. Whatever can allow me to beat up badies with phenominal cosmic powers."

He said this while flexing for no reason. Even stranger since no muscle was really there. Realizing this he coughed it off and continued.

"However it would have a cool story with twists, turns and maybe some lovin' on the side. But I'll have to wait for that last one. Besides I have been working on controling and breathing fire and I think I got it down. I wont try it here I don't want roasted otter and I'm sure a good few people would not appreciate that."

[ParaDucks]

Two foes were staring each other down on the side roads of New Crumbia, a major Metropolis on the Planet Oiyth. On one side there was a coyote gussied up in a slick blue business suit. He tipped back his fedora, glared at the door, and lit up a cigar.
Para had been staring at the foe, the sign, for about five solid minutes now. It was just a plain poster, on the inside of a plain glass and wood door. Para could see his reflective doppelganger's green eyes narrow in frustration.
"The Drunken Cookie." He stated flatly. "It sounds like a silly place." He took a long puff off of his cigar.
Finally he grabbed the doorknob, twisted it, pulled it, and walked across the threshold.

He walked in and furrowed his brow. Here was something that the business man had never laid eyes upon. "A dragon. Huh." He stated out loud before taking another puff of his cigar.
The 'yote continued his journey to the bar, glancing around at the other patrons and nodding to everyone.
Plopping down on the bar stool he snagged a cookie and said. "Listen, I'm guessing I'm not from around here. How about hooking a yote up with a nice strong drink?"

[Idesin]

"One 'Long Island Ice Tea' coming right up sir!" Dashing to the bar, Idesin began to mix a bit from every single bottle they had back there into one large glass. "It taste sweet, but packs quite the punch." He warned with a smile. Setting the glass down in front of him, he nodded his head. "Yeah, your going to have to wait a few days to get into yiffy RP's, like the big one I just set up ... hope my sigs not to big." He adjusted the sign hanging off his tail. "But, I would say try your flame breath, we have a whole field down at the other end of the bar for you to try it in."

[BigDragon]

J leaned over the counter to attempet to read the hanging sign but the words on it were blurred and convoluted.

"Ah of course. Someday then, someday."

J polished off his sandwich then guzzled the rest of the smoothie. He rose from his stool and glanced over at the field with conviently placed targets.

"Mmm that was great. Nice place you got here buddy. Now if you excuse me I have some target to roast."

[Studley Destiny]

Fawks led Studley into The Drunken Cookie. As they stepped inside, Studley behind the bar waved hello, so he of course waved back to himself and winked. He enjoyed showing off the beautiful women he went out with whenever he could, even if it was to himself. And this was one fine looking eagle too! He had no time to converse however as Fawks commanded the door, then opened it again and he followed her to the world of her choosing for their date.

Turning to the Dragon, "Say, J, would you like some company? I do a pretty good dragon if you'd like a little competition. I just have to size down a bit when I change."

[BigDragon]

J looked back to Studley, "Sure should be interesting especially if you know what you're doing. Who knows maybe someone will learn a thing or two."

[Studley Destiny]

Studley steps out from behind the bar and heads to the target range. As he walks his form morphs from a 6'3" black and grey biped were-wolf to a 7'7" black and grey dragon with striking deep blue eyes.

"Well then, a bit of friendly competition it is. What is your breath weapon of choice?"

[BigDragon]

Hearing he could make a choice interested J. Examining Studley he thought to himself.

Hmm Interesting, I didn't know many dragons that could do anything besides fire. Maybe I can use this time to practice my ice. I wonder what else he knows

"Oh that means you know more than one. I am pretty good with fire but I need practice with ice so I guess ice it is. Do you know that one. Heh it's actually the two I know."

Heh Why do I have the feeling I'm about to get my booty kicked.

[Studley Destiny]

"Hmmm, ice you say. Let me think, it's been a while. Umm fire, acid, poison gas, ice. Ahh, yes, yes indeed, I can do ice. Its been a while, but certainly, ice it is."

As they reached the firing line, Studley bowed to J. "Guests first please. And I'll beg your forgiveness if I'm a little rusty, its been a long time since I've done this."

[BigDragon]

"Heh thanks. But please don't talk about rusty. I new to this power as I forgot how to learn new ones. You must be very experienced if you know all those. But enough butt kissing."

J walked over to the line and stared down his target thinking to himself.

Alright how do I activate this power again. Ah perfect.

J breathed in and out until small ice crystals began forming. He directed himself to the target. He breathed in as much as possible and, focusing his eyes on the target, breathed out three long shards of ice. They flew in at the target with extreme precision. J smiled at Studely but it suddenly turned into a frown as he saw the finger leading from Studely back to the targets. J looked back and saw as they began to veer of course. Landing on the outer rim, middle inside-left and close inside-right.

"Eh not too bad...I guess. Your move good buddy."

[ParaDucks]

Para picked up the glass and downed a decent sized portion of it. Licking his lips he stated "Not half bad." He took a more manageable drink. "Yeah, damned good. Thanks." Para folded up the cookie he was still clutching into a napkin and pocketed it.
He swiveled around on his bar stool and tried to make out what was happening with the dragons.

[Studley Destiny]

"Not bad, not bad at all." Studley turned to the side and coughed several times as if clearing his throat, he then focused on his target, inhaled deeply, and blew out his weapon. Unfortunately, what came out was a green sticky, ropy substance that enveloped his target in a very effective net. With a rather chagrined look he turned to J, "Well, umm, I guess the first round goes to you seeing as I did not even get an ice breath this round. I'm sure I can do ice, best two out if three?"

As he talked, he waved a clawed paw at the targets. A group of squirrels swarmed over the targets resetting them in a matter of only a minute.

[BigDragon]

"You got it buddy but watch out I'm warmed up this time." J said as he began his deep breathing again.

He walked up to the targets and began breathing in until he breathed out only two this time. The both flew in but unfortunately they landed a couple inches away from the middle on each side.

"Darn only two but still not that bad. You're up buddy, and you gotta show me how you did whatever you did after this. It looked pretty cool."
