The World Assembly Strangers' Bar

[Felix Terra]

"Impossible. The 37th floor is much to high for an old man such as myself. It was in the single digits, if I remember correctly."

He thought about this.

Wait... oh yeah. You are in the 3-7 range. Or, maybe just 1.

[Bojikami]

A youngish looking red headed girl wearing a tiara and twirling a pair of large golden rings walks into the bar flanked by two large men wearing black suits, fedoras, and sunglasses. The gentlemen look like...well....like the kind of persons who visits you when you don't pay off your bookie. they make their way over to a table and the young lady sits down. one of themen leans over and whispers something. She nods and he makes his way over to the bar. A few moments later he comes back with a cup of cappaccino, which he sets in from to the lady.

An olive skinned, black haired man walks by grinning atner, he is accompanied by his 10 foot tall mutant called Mr. Claws. Mr. Claws let's out a friendly growl as the man turns to her "Hello. I am Premier Anthony of the United Socialist States of Bojikami. Who might you be?"

[Akimonad]

"I think it was floor 9. If it's not there now, I will just have my staff forcibly reclaim it.:

[Felix Terra]

"I think it was floor 9. If it's not there now, I will just have my staff forcibly reclaim it.:

Dear lord... I'll have to call the gnomes, this map is way off. It says my office is on floor 50, but I'm on 7.

[Akimonad]

"Lesson one: never believe the gnomes."

[Princess Mint]

A youngish looking red headed girl wearing a tiara and twirling a pair of large golden rings walks into the bar flanked by two large men wearing black suits, fedoras, and sunglasses.

the young lady smiles and says,
"I'm Princess Mint, and these two gentlemen are my leutenants Guido and Nunzio.They're a gift to me from the Mob's Fairy Godfather, Don Bruce. they specialize in making problems dissappear...permenantly."

The two men in question give a polite nod to the Premier.

"I'm from the AO and I'm a new ambassador. I'm planning WORLD DOMINATION, so i figure the festering snakepit is a good place to start. I'm going to have a tea party soon. Would you like to come?...heh heh heh!"

"World Domination eh? Thanks, but I have already started. The USA was shouting peace and freedom till I stomped on its throat." Mr. Claws chuckles "Yea, but as for the tea party, I ain't exactly a tea drinking guy."

[Kingdom of the Polar Bear]

A medium sized Female Anthro Polar Bear with long, straight blonde hair. She is wearing a blouse and black skirt walks into the bar looking bolth somewhat depressed and nervous. She sits down at a table and orders a soda and nothing else.

[East Klent]

"Lesson one: never believe the gnomes."

"Amen to that, brother," Stevens toasted.

[Soviet Canuckistan]

Simone rubbed her eyes, weary from the day's debates as the anthro polar bear walked in. She spoke quickly to Anton, "Is that a polar bear that just walked in or am I having too much to drink?" Anton replied, "Nope, you're sober, surprisingly, I wonder which nation they represent."

[Starlightia]

*he recieved a call from amythest* Ah yes, how are you sis? ("Good, my brother. Would you like the latest details on Uro?") -nods- ("She's very weak right now, but the good thing is, she's stable.") Its great she's out of her coma, but not good she's weak. ("She will however, make a full recovery") Thats great news! Keep me posted. ("will do, Luma. ")

[Louisistan]

Malcolm was still quitely staring into his beer. He couldn't wrap his mind around the fact, that Jorgsen had become Lord Chancellor. His faithful aide Sebastian approached him.
"Sir, I have the information you wanted."
"And?"
"You were right Sir. The election was postponed. The cabinet should have voted on a new Lord Chancellor during the opening session on Friday, October 5th. But they didn't. They voted on monday. After Jorgsen had been appointed for life."
"It's almost as if Viper wanted her to win. Otherwise he could just have let them vote when they were supposed to."
"But why, Sir?"
"That, my dear Sebastian, is the crucial question no one seems to have an answer to."
With this remark, Fass fell silent again.

[Kingdom of the Polar Bear]

Simone rubbed her eyes, weary from the day's debates as the anthro polar bear walked in. She spoke quickly to Anton, "Is that a polar bear that just walked in or am I having too much to drink?" Anton replied, "Nope, you're sober, surprisingly, I wonder which nation they represent."

Aurora herd herself being somewhat mentioned and said, "I Represent The Grand Pony Empire of Kingdom Of the Polar Bear, or just Kingdom of the Polar Bear, or KOPB," she then went back to what she was doing before hand.

[Louisistan]

Malcom Fass shook his head in disbelief. He stared at a peace of paper in front of him. It simply said: "Ratsch to be appointed senator tonight!" Frank Ratsch had been a very promising candidate for an undersecretary's post at the Foreign Office. Some had speculated that he was one of the people Friar wanted to bring into the government. But then Friar wasn't elected Lord Chancellor. Instead, Jorgsen was.
But why the Senate then? The only thing he could think of was that the Senators also smelled foul play in the cabinet and wanted Ratsch on their side. Malcom pondered. Had he any friends left in the Senate? Someone he could talk to?
He only knew one thing: He needed a drink. Slowly he approached the barman.

"Excuse me, I think I'm gonna need a drink. As I understand, I am entitled to a drink of mead, paid for by those bears? You know, because we voted for that honey thing?"

"You said something about Bears?" Aurora said as she leaned closer to the man.

[Tanular]

Sir Bodsworth slipped past the Polar and Louisistan delegates to take the seat on the other side of the Louisistani (?).

"Seems awfully dead in here. Last few times I was in here, it was rather more active. Oh, is that new glazing on the windows?"

He realized he was being distracted and turned back to the bar.

"A mead on the tab of that Bear chap. Awful generous of him. Hope he makes it by here some time soon..."

[Zahakha]

A young man with an unnatractive beard and a funny, arror shaped hat walks in, surrounded by Five men in nifty uniforms with large arrow shapes on their helmets. The young man opens a book wit hthe same symbol on its cover, licks his lips, and begins to read aloud, "Pity the weak, for they shall be struck by my arrows; Mourn the foolish, for they shall be crushed by my horses' hooves; Feel great sorrow for the unbelievers, for they shall be swallowed up by the coming of my people." Closing the book, he addresses the entire bar, and calls aloud; " Repent, sinners, for the time of saggitarius is at hand! prepare yourself for the archers wrath!"

[The Eternal Kawaii]

The young man opens a book wit hthe same symbol on its cover, licks his lips, and begins to read aloud, "Pity the weak, for they shall be struck by my arrows; Mourn the foolish, for they shall be crushed by my horses' hooves; Feel great sorrow for the unbelievers, for they shall be swallowed up by the coming of my people." Closing the book, he addresses the entire bar, and calls aloud; " Repent, sinners, for the time of saggitarius is at hand! prepare yourself for the archers wrath!"

The Kawaiian marriage party, which was still in full swing after all this time (when Kawaiians get a good marriage party going, they aim to push it to the limit) cheered as the odd looking men with arrows on their heads arrived. "Oh for the Cute One's sake, stop looking so glum!" one of the celebrants shouted at them. "Get these men a drink, stat!"

The Young saggitarian priest looks disdainfully at the revellers. "Thank you, unbeliever" he cries to the Drunken Kawaiian " but we are on a holy mission and have no time for your blasphemy." Behind him, his Arrowhead guards finger the butts of the firearms holstered at their waists. "For anyone who wishes to learn of the might and power of Saggitarius, I, Brother Kanto, will be commencing a reading of the Marked one's word this evening. You are welcome to join us." With that, Brother kanto leaves the bar floor the way he came, bringing with him all but one of the Arrowhead officers.

[Murray the Evil Skull]

A young man with an unnatractive beard and a funny, arror shaped hat walks in, surrounded by Five men in nifty uniforms with large arrow shapes on their helmets. The young man opens a book wit hthe same symbol on its cover, licks his lips, and begins to read aloud, "Pity the weak, for they shall be struck by my arrows; Mourn the foolish, for they shall be crushed by my horses' hooves; Feel great sorrow for the unbelievers, for they shall be swallowed up by the coming of my people."

Murray and his Buckaroo Bunny band was helping set the mood of the party. HIH even joined the band on stage to sing backup for the band. Murray and his bunnies started to play a swinging tune...

"Baby, baby it looks like it's gonna hail
Baby, baby it' looks like it's gonna hail
You better come inside
Let me teach you how to jive and wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail away!

Papa's in the icebox lookin' for a can of ale
Papa's in the icebox lookin' for a can of ale
Mama's in the backyard learning how to jive and wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail away

A woman is a woman and a man ain't nothin' but a male
A woman is a woman and a man ain't nothin' but a male
One good thing about him
He knows how to jive and wail

Jack and jill went up the hill to get a pail
Jack and jill went up the hill to get a pail
Jill stayed up, she wants to learn how to jive and wail.

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail away!!!"

[East Sardakhar]

An old man, in his eighties, walks in with his trusted cane, holding his long, white beard. He is wearing a cowboy hat and an ancient Roman toga worn over a tunic. He says to himself, "This is it, buddy. Spread the Word of God, NOW." He walks further into the bar before suddenly stopping and signaling for everyone inside to turn to him as he starts to make his speech, shouting loudly.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE ALMIGHTY GOD HAS COME DOWN TO THE WORLD OF MORTALS, IN THE FORM OF HIS MAJESTY LONGINUS THE FIRST, EMPEROR OF SARDAKHAR, KING OF EAST SARDAKHAR! YOU ALL HEDONISTS, I DEMAND THAT YOU REPENT FOR YOUR INNUMERABLE SINS, FOR SURELY THE END OF DAYS IS NEAR! THE NEXT GENERATION SHALL NOT SEE LIFE HERE! BUT YOU, THE LAST GENERATION HERE, CAN STILL CLEAN YOUR BODIES AND SOULS AS LONG AS YOU ARE STILL ALIVE! SINNERS, REPENT!"

[Alqania]

Lord Raekevik had been in the midst of a relaxing drunken slumber as he was crudely awoken by the shouting preacher. Pondering for a moment whether this was some kind of absinthe dream concocted by the Ambassador's subconsciousness from bits and pieces of The Concise Multiversal Encyclopaedia of Contemporary Religious Personages, the thick book still on the table in front of him, he glared at the anachronistically dressed old man with a mix of annoyance and curiosity.

"Pray tell, Reverend missionary, should one take your anti-hedonism as an adherence to Kantian deontology? Has your god rejected his hedonist followers?"

[Retired WerePenguins]

A blonde haired man enters the bar. "A gin martini," he tells the bartender, "shaken not stirred."

Suddenly a number of small penguins enters the bar. "I hope you ordered for us," one of them says.

The blonde haired man adds, "and a large saki with six glasses." Turning to the penguins he asks, "So how do you ladies get up onto the bar stools."

"Well, actually," one of them says. "We could use a hand here."

The blonde turns to the bartender, "I forgot to introduce myself. Blonde, James Blonde. I'm currently on assignment for the Nifty Fraternity of Retired WerePenguins."

"We are still waiting," the penguin adds.

James lifts each on to their seat, adding, "Normally, the ladies don't like to be touched."

[East Klent]

Jarred Stevens sat at the bar as he perused the events before him over the top edge of his newspaper, "A preacher, a spy and a group of penguins enter a bar... This ought to be good," he mused as he folded his paper and picked up his scotch.

The Kawaiian revelers, having found the dour preachers in the pointy hats turning down their offer of free wedding booze, turn to Lord Raekevik and the old man in the cowboy hat. They hand out the bottles of sake they were carrying, and shout in unison, "You two! Drink! Now!"
