*Washes up, and pours Babel & Titania a c)_( of tea from the kettle*
Morning.

Hi! Thanks!

*slightly confused*

I thought Babel was short for Babel17, and BB short for Bluebottle - am I mistaken?

Hi Titania - yes, Babel is short for Babel 17, and BB is me, Bluebottle. It's just that I noticed that just after I left Babel17 asked for a cup of tea, so I thought I'd pour him one this morning.

Aaahh, continuity...;.)

Speaking of continuity...BB, is Ook around?

Is Ook around? Good question. I expect so, but he tends not to hang around in my part of the kitchen where I wash up and put the v/_\3 on, he more mingles with the customers. I can't really see that well through the serving hatch where he goes.

*going in search of Ook, finding him out on the porch*

Greetings Ook!
Ook: Ook!

Ook, I must apologize to you. I have been trying to set things right at the places I visited as a newbie, not knowing about continuity and stuff yet.
I haven't been able to locate the conversation, but we were having a game of scrabble. Someone hesitated to join us, afraid to be beaten by you, and I answered something stupid like "oh, don't worry, words with more than three syllables confuses him" or something like that.
And since then I've learnt that you are in fact an excellent scrabble player, one of the best. I ought to have realized you were ALLOWING me to win, due to my elvish charm (I'd like to think).

I offer you my sincere apologies, Ook! I hope you understand it wasn't meant as an offence, just pure ignorance.

Ook: Ook!

*big hug*

*floating in from porch, lighter at heart now*

BB, could I have another c)_( of tea, please?

*strolls in with newspaper under arm. Puts some light jazz on the jukebox*

Coffee is the only true colour. All the rest are pale imitations. Hi everyone. Hi Lil! Hi big mug of brown steaming wonderfulness before me!

*takes a big swig.*

Hi Wowbagger! Have we met?

*searching her memory, but unfortunately her memory is very bad with names*

Hi Wowbagger! Truly good to have you among us again.
*sets down carton of donuts she just brought in*

Looks like the bot cleaned up pretty well after the wrestling match. Anybody review the tapes? Must be about 3 LEDs back now, maybe 4. But we're gonna have to get Affi in to fix some of the attachments. The bot "cleaned" one of our new customers, too.

*sets out donuts*

Ook! You're back! Ook, did you plant those watermelon seeds?
Ook: Ook! Ook!

Well, good for you. Want some breakfast? No? So you're self-sufficient now, eh?

Bluebottle, good morning to you too. May I have a cup of tea?

Hi Lil!

Yes, I saw the tapes, and I giggled so much I almost fell off my chair...

*Pours c)_( from v/_\3 for Lil & Titania.*

Thanks BB. *sips gratefully*

Poor Valis, I don't believe he's logged off since he registered. Bizarreness just follows him around. Wait till the next time I make a blue dust punch!

*helps herself to an apple spice donut*

Thank you BB!

Lil, I was really impressed by Valis this morning. He was there to say good night when I left your atelier, and he was still there when I looked in this morning. Amazing...

Well, he is well and truly initiated after last night!

And now, if you'll excuse me, I must go deal with real life for a while.
*makes sure filters are clean on IIEM and that it is set to autopilot, then heads out*

Hee hee.

Wow, I disapear for one day and all heck breaks loose. The calming influence of Madame Impossible is in dire need... unfortunately, the good madame has been called away to a U.N. conference to settle disputes between the Scottish and their mortal enemies, other Scots. (Before anyone says anything, I'm Scottish, so I can get away with jokes...)

IIEM, could I have a cup of coffee with some hot chocolate mixed in? Thanks. c(_)

*looks up from mandarin tea in a corner*

Good show, Odra. Urm... I was sent here, promised a post from Shazz. I feel duped.

Shazz ~never~ comes here except to use the lavatories.

haha. better than me, i just come in to order jolt cola... no, wait, that's not better. never mind.
