Merlin and Jade exit the DISCO and walk
towards TLG's games store*(sorry, forgot the
name)
"This place as every game ever made by any
company, for any system, ever. Seems almost... magical,
eh?"

Excellent, Cruiser! You deserve the
best! Has Cordelia had her share?
Or more than? What state is she in?
(American puns don't work in response since she's in the
UK )
"Hmm...the sign overhead reads 'Heek,
Inc.'...nice place, but not magical."
Jade fears
that Merlin may be removed from the Institution
permanently if he continues to go against the
Professor's wishes. She decides one last time for
intervention.
"Merlin, come sit with me." They
sit on the bottom step near Heek, Inc. "It's not the
technology so much as the 'I shall wave a magic wand and
make it so'...that just doesn't...erm..if you'll pardon
the pun, fly here. Keep things as true to form as
possible in the Uru to D'ni tradition, then it's all
good, ok?"
"Now, let's go continue the
celebration with Cruiser. That's the real reason we are
all gathered here
today."
"I know, Jade. It was just a joke. Let's
go back to the social, and from now on I'm going to be a
good boy!

Veronica weaves her way unsteadily down
the stairs towards Heek, Inc. She's had one too many
glasses of champagne and way too much chocolate. By the
time she reaches Merlin and Jade, she just can't go
another step and she sits down next to
Merlin.
"Hello."
"Hi."
Veronica
leans over and looks at
Jade.
"Hello."
"Hi."
"Are you the
lady that served me acorn mead and Irish coffee,
hic?"
Chuckles58 links in again to see if
Grizz and Veronica left any chocolate.
Hi
Boatingirl. Glad you could drop by. You haven't seen The
Little Guy around lately have you ... just wondering.
All of a sudden I have a headache. I just love this little
smilie!

"Ma'am,
I think that you might want to take nice, long, nap back
at your Relto, you don't look your best," says Merlin
sweetly.
Veronica glares at him, for in her
degraded state she has a relapse.
"Me? Not *hic*
look by mest? Pwe...pwe...pwepothteirush!
*hic*"
"As you wish, ma'am..." says Merlin while
rolling his eyes.
"Um, Jade, would you mind
staying with her while I get some Truffles?
Thanks!"
*and he darts
off*

Jade and Veronica glare at one another
for several minutes and then Jade says, "Well, it's been
a pleasure seeing you again." Jade walks toward
the linking room to head back to the
surface.
Veronica sneers, "Oh, buth the pwesuthre
wath all
minth."
*Sips more champagne* hi ther Mr D, Hi
Chuckles! Isn't TLG in his shop?? I just came back to
town and found out he was made head bartender at the
A&C! I certainly hope it doesn't go to his head and
forgets to do his homework!
Just make sure that TLG is the first to
carry the new Bahro-programmed computer game, 'Magenta'.
Coming to a D'ni computer game store near you. Have his
people call my people. I have people now, remember.

"Sir, it's very hard for me to apologize
and you aren't making it any easier so I was saying that
I realize that I have out of order lately and that I
shouldn't have enchanted those chocolates and that I was
being a snob and just trying to prove myself right and
I'm very very sorry but I'm new here and now I am afraid
that you might kick me out and I was really looking
forward to helping you and the others and I'll do any
thing to make it up to you just please fogive me will
you?"

Kestryll whispers to a Barry and
hands him an envelope then turns to the
crowd.
I personally would like to thank
everyone for attending Cruiser's opening of BAHRO. Feel
free to stay as long as you like. There's plenty of
champagne, and chocolate , and the servers will
be around if you need anything. Don't be afraid to
ask.
I, however, have other engagements and must
turn the party over to the Bahro. I'll try to be back to
check on things later. Good day, and enjoy!

Speedy has been quiet for all of this
time for some very good reasons: she has been indulging
on some very good chocolate truffles and very good
champagne! "Now where did that
Merlin-kid go?" she muttered as she took another sip of
champagne. She wanted to let him know that he could join
her to Negilahn. Speedy walks up to Cruiser. "What a
fine establishment you have here, Cruiser! If I may act
like my viking friends, I shall do three toasts; one for
good luck, one for plenty of activity in here, and one
for plenty of inventory for all!" Speedy said as she
drank her champagne. "Now, if you excuse me, but I am in
need to find a little wizard and some other friends,
particularly someone who had too many mushrooms, a
ferret, an absent minded professor, and an englishman.
Have you seen any of them?" Speedy asked after she
finished her drink.
