Monday DE

[bjornwilde]

 Welcome to another week. I hope yours kicks a lot of booty in a nice and/or fun ways. Anyone else think we need to figure out how to get a Christmas/Yule goat to Milliways? (Link goes to a Tumblr post with a small graphic and bullet points regarding the regular destruction of an annual Yule goat, despite government attempts at not having the goat burn down)

ETA: It has been pointed out that Amascut has actually been doing this and is likely to do it again this year. Thank you!

As for a topic...well, apps are just around the corner, so how about a test drive meme? Post in with a pup you are thinking of playing and see who will tag in! Feel free to use pups you've missed, would never actually play (for whatever reason), or tag in with yourself. Fourth Wall break down!

Oh hi dee ho an' what d'ye know, it's that Irish vampire again who keeps popping up in the test drives because his mun can't be arsed to properly app him until the second season of his canon comes out. Not to mention that the mun ought to be writing something else entirely instead of faffing about online, but that is not Cassidy's problem, so he is just going to relax over here with his boots up on a table and a bottle of whiskey plugged into his gob.

Join him, why don't'cha!

Kate knows Cassidy's pain. Her mun can't seem to be bothered to learn military culture and the basics of Judaism (despite her canon rarely touching on these two elements of her character), and so she is perpetually backstage, as it were.

This isn't to say she doesn't make her presence know however, which is why a pale redhead in worn jeans and a tank top (which allows her many tattoos to be shown to best advantage) saddles up to the bar.

"Whiskey, neat," she orders. It's been a night.

[irish_vagabond]

Cassidy's shirt sleeves are rolled up, so his own tattoos are exposed. At first glance they seem like totally random scribbles as if a child had drawn on him with a marker, but there's some meaning in there somewhere.

"Hey, nice ink," he calls out appreciatively, raising his bottle to her.

[to_serve]

Kate glances over, catching the ink (which is nice) and a first impression of the speaker (which may not be as nice).

"Thanks. Yours aren't so bad either." She can appreciate unique work, since she's not one for template work. Just don't point out how typical her ink is.

A very skinny man in a nice black suit is suddenly sitting in a chair at an adjacent table. If the Vampire's sense of smell is very very keen, he might be able to pick up the smell of dust and death on this guy.

[irish_vagabond]

Wellllll that ain't a smell Cassidy comes across every day. It's downright unholy, it is.

As he takes another swig of whiskey, he gives the creepster a sidelong glance, and then keeps drinking.

A rough looking, darker skinned man walked in, with a regular scarf. This wasn't Vekta or that damn dirty planet Helghan.

The man sat down on a bench "Give me a strong one, any will do.."

[buh_bye]

There is a skinny man in a very find black suit at a near table.

"I suggest the Pangalactic Gargle Blaster," says the man quietly.

[fireymouth]

The Pangalact- Gargle.. Blas- what? ... Alright, ok. I'll try one, stranger.

Ivan's nursing a brandy and putting off going back, because its been 10 hours since Galeni left. His green uniform with high boots is looking slightly rumpled as he's worried and not sure what to do, "Bad day?"

Not the test drive meme

[cottoncandypink]

The Gävle goat has already been destroyed this year. Thought you ought to know. lol

I have been following the saga of this stupid goat for years. I love it so much.

Re: Not the test drive meme

[to_serve]

It is awesome and I love that it is still being destroyed.

Re: Not the test drive meme

[cottoncandypink]

This has just reminded me that I need to post the thing I made for this goat in my shop.

[a_different_path]

"Perhaps one should see the movie before continuing?" says the fellow currently sitting at the bar. Whom he is actually speaking with is not apparent.

[fireymouth]

Rico's eyes turned on the other guy and blinked ".... Stop talking gibberish, what the heck are you TALKING about?"

[a_different_path]

Mordo turns to Rico with a serine and composed expression.

"Please pardon me, I was speaking to one who is not here and our conversation would likely be confusing at best."

"I doubt they are listening anyway."

[hecu_marine]

"She ain't gonna listen," says the Marine down the bar a ways. "Or he. They git it into their heads they wanna see you on their screen, they're gonna do it'n worry 'bout the canon proper later."

[fireymouth]

Rico's eyes became a little more interested seeing the Marine but never mind.

"So, what's your rank.. solider?"

[a_different_path]

"He, in this case. He has looked into what hints of the story he may online, but such information in regards to myself are few." Mordo smiles with a hint of humility. "It would seem I am not worthy of attention."

[death_gone_mad]

Amascut has put up a yule goat twice now; I don't recall if I missed last year.

I could do it again :) It's just a matter of giving myself enough time to do it. Maybe next week?

Re: the GOAT

[bjornwilde]

Now that you mention it, I remember your posts. Sorry about that, guess I never had a pyrotechnic minded pup before to notice. = ]

Next week would be great, imho. Would the goat renew after each burning? I can just see Jim M. being very frustrated by the whole thing.

Re: the GOAT

[just_cant_lose]

He'd laugh. Being trolled by a fire-defying goat? AMAZING. :D

Re: the GOAT

[death_gone_mad]

No worries, I probably needed a reminder.

A goat that comes back up after being burnt down? Amascut would join Jim in his frustration. D:

Actually, I think I remember Sherlock burnt it down the first year. Or someone Benedict-Cumberbatchy, at least.

Re: the GOAT

[cottoncandypink]

:D!

I haven't been around the last few winters, so I didn't know this was already a thing!

[darklighthero]

A long eared man sat down and eyed the crowds at the strange bar and nodded "Bartender, throw me a beer. Doesn't matter."

He looked weird.
