Default Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours

by sheer will-power I move my spirit over to where my 'usual' table was in the cantina. I'm amazed to see that the fake window with the fake rain and the steady stream of water washing down it is still intact. I close my vorpal eyes and listen to the soothing sound of the water. For a second I almost believe that the cantina is still here. When I open my eyes I am greeted by a ghostly image of the cantina... wait a min, this is not just an illusion, it's like for a moment the cantina was about to come back.

Maybe we can bring back the cantina if we pool our collective wills and focus our energy.

speaking of energy, I think about a dozen m&m's should help boost my energy!

Cheers!

*A lone leidferhosen clad belgian crawls up the rocky decimated landscape and on to the top of a boulder. He pants and pulls out the large gold decorated wooden horn, giving it an all mighty blow and the echoing bLast can be heard around the landscape. Marching towards the site of the once proud cantina came a great army. The huge force marched on, thousands of them. The majority of the army was like the horn-blower (people swing that way ) Large Overweight, but muscular, belgians, clad in leiderhosen, blonde stringy hair hung from beneath green pointy mountaianeering hats with a red feather upon them. (some of these brave warriors styled their hair into pigtails, but yet again people swing that way) Moustaches and beards hang from their faces like proud vikings of old. Armed with giant axes and a large broadsword they marched towards their cause. Along side these belgians rode some more belgians mounted upon giant black rabbits with vicious teeth and red evil eyes, they made a horrible snuffling noise as they went, snuffing for flesh. These belgians were armed with spears and bloodtyhirsty automatic crossbows. Amongst the ranks of this armie were rabid members of parliament and actors from bad comedies like friends and terrible soaps like neighbours. All genetically modified to be blood hungry warriors armed with blades to hack the nearest enemy to pieces. At the front of this army mounted upon a snarling mad hunchbacked anne widdecomb (not that kind of mounted) was this armies leader, clad in bondage jeans and a trenchcoat which hid his elven chainmail coat. He carried a large sword in one hand and an elven bow on his back, a lighter fuelled covered baguette hung from his side in case he really needed to fight. AT LAST Raging Deadstar had returned to the mortal plain. Well not totally for he was possessing one of his cloned Versions of himself, but it was 99% like being alive! He had brought these armies to fight for his nemesis ragnarok, who was being tortured in the very depths of hell! A bit of a lost cause but one needs to give his forces a training exercise!*

*The extravegent army haults and Raging Deadstar awaits the call of dogscoff who was finishing his stake dinner, and most probably finishing his 5th pint and chatting up the waitress where ever he was, soon we would rescue ragnarok...*

Sorry, i felt inspired so i had to write this. Now onwards to hell, but i lay claim to any succubus's whom we liberate on the way (female angels who like to have sex and generally have a good time and are ruled by lucifer himself)

On the desolate plain that now is where the Cantina once stood, a single bonfire is lit. Beside it sits the lone figure of Primitive. His face like an open book of grief and sorrow. He misses the Cantina, the friendly banter from GT and Scoff, the great drinks from Taz, the random acts of violence from Rags and RD. Mac, Gryphin, David, Mlmbd, Kamog, The King, Puke (To those I forgot, Sorry) and all the other regular friendly patrons. He misses the Furry Bunny Waitresses in their skimpy outfits, The Kylieclones and Barry - the mountable (only by GT) dinosaur. He even misses the cuisine even if it mostly tasted like Puke.

Two Items is laid out between Primitive and the fire. A chicken and his runecovered rusty (yet pointy) spear. He runs his fingers over the runes. The rune of resurection could bring back all the dead patrons (except Rags who is condemned to the eternal flames). The rune of undoing could undo the destruction of the Cantina. The rune of summoning could summon FBWs and Kylieclones. But his magic is only strong enough to make a single rune work, so which one should he choose ? This is a decission too great for the primitive one to take alone.

Primitive decides to seek supernatural guidance, and calls for the spirits of GT and Gryphin. He uses his (newly sharpened) skinningknife to gut the chicken. Spilling the entrails on the ground, Primitive reads the signs from the unearthly wraiths.

Satisfied with the result, Primitive holds the rusty (yet pointy) spear over the chicken and draws the single rune his magic would allow him. He then BBQs the chicken and eats.

The rune of Tandoori spices sure makes a tasty meal.

OK, it looks like we've got some serious hellstorming to do. Now I'm not sure which religion's Version of hell we're walking into here, so we'd best be prepared for anything.

*ghost-dogscoff arms himself:
-In case it's a judeo-christian hell, he carries a water-pistol full of holy water and a bag of holy hand grenades.
-It could be the underworld of Greek mythology, so he makes sure he has some crunchy meatoes to distract Cerberus, the three-headed dog at the gate.
-In the event that the place is fashioned after the Helheim of norse legend, he'll need his Mighty Big Axe.
- In case it is determined by the scriptures of the latter-day church of Shatner, he loads his Canon-cannon and slings it across his back
-In case it turns out to be dogscoff's own personal hell, he packs some punk CDs to drown out the country and western music.

OK, I'm just about ready. Hang in there Rags, I just need to program the video to record Eastenders while I'm gone...

That's a tough conundrum! Bring the Cantina back and everyone back to life, or summon FBW's and Kylieclones? So, which one did the spirits choose? (My guess is that they probably picked the FBW's and Kylieclones...)

Personally I think "The rune of resurection" is the best choice. Once we are all brought back we will be able to rebuild and renovate. The solid ground of the cantina wasteland will make a very good foundation. "Once we build it they will come!"

I think I'd like to replace the old fake window with the fake rain running down it with a nice miniture waterfall!

...just my 2 cents!

Sorry guys, but I already wasted all my magic on the rune of Tandoori spices.

Sombody else will have to fix this mess.
