Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Café Cramer - Always Open

Oh, I still run this place, GCtUM. Being Leader doesn't take any time, since the Deputies do all the work. That's why they get their own club.

Often, making baked goods is the most leaderly thing done all year!

The door crashes open. Cramer ducks, expecting an axe.

However there is silence then Hrun staggers in through the door. He is cut and has huge claw marks running down his body, His Shield hangs broken from one arm whilst his axe is chipped and damaged.

He moves unsteadily to the counter and weakly says

“Stoopid Cat! We need to…need to”

Then he collapses on the floor, as he does so his chain mail shirt falls open to reveal a message cut into his torso.

“ Visit here And wait for orders”

Dang, It's been a while since I've seen a link carved into a man's chest. That's some bad mojo.

<Reaches out into Medicus, pulls a Nurse and a Med-Kit into Cramer's. The Nurse immediately slaps OM.>

Do I look like Cobie to you? See the hulk on the floor? He needs your help. Me, I've got places to go.

Oh, and don't touch the donuts. That's not raspberry sauce they've been splashed with.

<OM pops out.>

<OM pops back.>

Oh, yeah, I forgot. Stat.

(Bleedin' medics never do anything you ask until you say "stat"....)

<OM pops out.>

...medics never moved him?

Hrun... isn't smelling very good... after three weeks stewing in the summer heat.

(gagh!)

pardon me while I hurl.

Oh, I thought that was how he usually smells. No wonder no one's been in here lately.

He's not dead, he's sleeping... isn't he?

if barbarians don't take in or exhale air when sleeping, if they do not have a pulse when sleeping, then yes, he's sleeping.

hmmm....very odd. He appears to be dead, yet his spirit has not moved through the Poltergiest Area.

Could Slim have ensnared his very essence?

Hrun's body is still here?!?!

Now that's just too weird... Even a Security Force as bad as Legion World's should have done something about this long ago...

Something else else more is happening here... But What?

<picks up Hrun's body>

Well, old friend, they're right about one thing: you don't exactly smell like roses...

<lays healing hands on body>

Hm...doesn't seem to be doing much...

<continues to concentrate>

...and its just what I thought. You're not dead at all. And by the looks of it, you've been hit by the same thing that attacked Vee. Or at least--something similar. Some type of virus that not only paralyzes the body, but kills it to a point, while keeping it alive all the while.

That little blast of healing I just gave you will certainly help eliminate that virus, though I have no idea if it'll restore you.

Better not have you stink up Cafe Cramer anymore. I have a private booth at SHAKES where any smells are eliminated. Mayavale showed it to me when he let me try that hooka--er, well, never mind.

Exits with Hrun\'s body to SHAKES

You can rest easy FC, Hrun isn't dead. On the verge of death, sure, but I'll keep him alive for at least a little while.

(Forgive me old friend, I've been out of the loop and off-planet. But I'm back now. We'll find Stoopid Cat too, I promise)

Caffine


Oh my. I guess that emptied out the place for a bit.

Time for some afternoon delight. One hot fudge sundae please. Vanilla Ice Cream. Lots of homemade whipped cream (none of that aerosol stuff)

My new thing the last six months or so is trying to drink green tea in the afternoons. I can't give up coffee in the morning, but since I used to drink it all day long, I can get a balance.

I bought the green tea bags with the old Chinese monk on the box. Because that seemed to be what I'm aiming for with this

So, my new Cafe Cramer drink will be ancient mystic green tea!

I'm coffee'd out. again.

and only four months since I've been back on caffeine.

It's time for chocolate milk!

May I suggest ancient mystic chocolate milk?

sounds exotic!

as long as it's not the milk that's 'ancient.'

sure!

from the wonderful Girl Genius store at Café Press

Ooh, pretty! I like it, FC. Almost makes me wish I drank coffee... almost.

But I will have some nice decaf herbal tea while I'm in. Good to study with and heal away those pesky cold bugs.

My breakfasts now consist usually of yogurt and walnuts or almonds. It may seem boring, but I save my greasy breakfasts for the weekends, especially after a night 'out'.

Ohmygod! I need a mocha-almond-raspberry-latte!

And a Bran Muffin...

Bran Muffin?

Bran Muffin?

Aren't you a little young to be eating gramps much needed addition to his diet? I mean, after all, he needs that kind of thing. You should be eating chocolate pancakes or something, Brit.

Bran MacMuffin was a character in Cerebus.

A nice cup of Kenyan Roast please.

a roast! cool! Who gets to be emcee? I nominate Miner.

Is that one of those ultra-expensive blends, Far? No matter - we have unlimited funds here for purchasing.

Who are we roasting?
