Brightness Random she/her Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Brightness blushed at the complements. "I-It's really not that hard, guys," she stuttered, "Anyone can pour root beer!" Time to change the topic, she thought to herself, "But I do know what you mean, Screwloose. Winter can be scary at times...." Things lulled into a silence for a moment, so the duchess found herself talking again, if only to fill the quiet. "So er... what do you work on over in the cave?" Thanks for the support, Elsa! I think the Bar's fine as of now, but it's visitors we need, not workers.
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) I think an endorcement would bring in more visitors. Would you like me to do one? Edited February 23, 2015 by Queen Elsa Steelheart
Brightness Random she/her Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 That would be wonderful, Elsa. Maybe a bit later in the week? I'm planning on selling root beer AND coats of arms here, but it could take a while to get everything sorted out on this end. I don't think we're in danger of closing down immediately, but a formal proclamation would be very useful. Thanks again for the support! 1
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) "Anytime. I look forward to doing it." Is it okay if I post it in this thread a little later in the week? Edited February 23, 2015 by Queen Elsa Steelheart
Cheese United he/him Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 As official "oh yeah... Him... Yeah, he's um... He has a nice...um... Well,he's a person" type guy of the Root Beer bar, I would like to announce that we are neglecting a huge opportunity here at the bar: the opportunity to host a "farewell" party for Snoopy. And we can have root beer, and cake, and pizza... Yum
Redbird he/him Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 A party sounds nice, what do you think Brightness?
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 A party sounds awesome I'll advertise it in my signature
Brightness Random she/her Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 *Insert horneater accent* This party, it would be wonderful, no? *Back to normal now* First rate idea, Cheese, I wholeheartedly approve. I'll start writing some more root beer poetry... Sorry I've not been able to get back to any of you for a bit. It feels like I'm in a full-blown war, trying to combat homework, and losing terribly. However, I will lend any extra time I find to this most worthy cause.

Cheese United he/him Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I can feel the revenue come in already 1
Cheese United he/him Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I have officially decided that I will no longer conquer the world by stealing your powers, Queen Elsa. We need your commercials so we can have enough money to make a 24-karat gold statue of a root beer mug. And I am a changed man. You should let me out of that bag now, so I can show you how much of a new man I am. I was a misguided youth.
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 "And I will take your word for it? How will you prove you have changed?"
Cheese United he/him Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 "Well. Let me tell you. I swear on not only my life, but on my pizza stash. I have a warehouse full of pizza boxes, and if I am lying, let the Stormfather strike it (and me) down with a highstorm. And considering that my plans to conquer the world take to the forefront of my mind when I don't have pizza in me, that's not an oath I make lightly. Yeah, still not too happy with the Nightwatcher on that one"
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 "Fine. If you are lying, Delightful and I will be having toasted cheese sandwiches for lunch." The Queen giggled after looking at her sister. "I'm just kidding about that last bit, but seriously, you'd better not be lying about the oath."
Cheese United he/him Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I am not lying Your Majesty. I may take over the world through other means, though. If so feel free to punch me. 1
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) "As long as you do not attempt to harm Newcago or its allies, I accept your oath. You are free to go." Edited February 25, 2015 by Queen Elsa Steelheart
Brightness Random she/her Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 "Alright, everyone, listen up!" Brightness called, climbing up onto a table, "As of tomorrow, March 1st, the Root Beer Bar will be holding a celebration. It will be a grand, month long, root beer themed, going away party for Snoopy, our honorable founder. I don't know if he'll be able to attend, but we'll have a party anyway." the duchess paused, frowning to herself. "Not that we'll be celebrating the fact that Snoopy's gone," she clarified, "just celebrating his time here with us and recognizing his accomplishments. Hmm, but that sounds more like a funeral.... Okay, well anyway, it's all March long and we'll have lots of delicious root beer." She stepped down from the table onto a chair, then sat down on the tabletop, mug of root beer in hand. "Have any of you guys tried root beer on snow or shaved ice?" Brightness asked, taking a sip, "It's delicious." 1
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 "I'll definitely be coming! Do you need me to supply anything?" Elsa smiled. She loved celebrations.
Brightness Random she/her Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 "I think we've got just about everything...Could you bring streamers?" Brightness asked, smiling broadly, "In root beer brown and vanilla if you can manage it." She lept off the table, rushing forward to give the queen a quick hug, "Thank you so much, your majesty! That would be fantastic!" The duchess laughed and grabbed another mug of root beer. "I'm so excited for this party!" 1
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) "Of course! Happy to help!" Queen Elsa hugged the Duchess back. She didn't usually get hugs from fellow Newcagoans besides her sister, and it was nice. She smiled. "I am most looking forward to this party." I bet this will happen at the party... Edited March 1, 2015 by Queen Elsa Steelheart
Guest Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Please don't wake me now...I walked into the Bar, only to discover that Brightness Random had turned the walls pin--I shook myself awake, grimacing. I didn't grimace because of the hard ground, trust me. Just...the mental image of the Bar with pink walls...eegh. An involuntary shiver raced down my spine, all of my extremities twitching in turn.I stretched my hands out to the sky,I pushed my hands up into the cool evening air, each vertebrae popping in turn, swaying slightly with the lofty evergreens.We danced with monsters through the night...I groaned, feeling some freshly healed wounds reopen. That had not been a fun dance at all. Ah, well, some things just need to be done, regardless of the consequences. My journey is a personal one, not really something I can get help with. The air hissed out of my lungs in a sudden gasp as a new twinge rippled over my body.I'm never gonna look back, whoah... Unfortunately, that isn't an option anymore, I thought. I mulled over the events of the past week, thinking about the friends I left back at the Bar. I had left them after such a short time. I hadn't even as much as given a two weeks notice.I feel it calling, outside my window;I feel it in my soul...I sighed, beginning to draw the Aon Tia in the air.More to come later...edited for spacing issues...

Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Queen Elsa walked into the Root Beer Bar, wearing a new party dress. Behind her were four servants, carrying two baskets of root beer brown and vanilla streamers for the party, as Duchess Random had asked her to bring. "Hello! I'm so excited for this party!"
Brightness Random she/her Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Brightness stepped out of the back room carrying a tray of clean mugs just soon enough to hear the queen's proclamation. "I know! This is going to be great!" she said, setting the tray down on a table. She poured two mugs full of root beer, wiped her hands on her apron, then offered one to the queen. "Oh! You brought the streamers! Perfect..." she said with a smile, noticing the baskets, "Here, let's trade, root beer for streamers." The duchess looked around the room, taking in the wide space and high ceiling, then glancing back down to the baskets. "This... might just take a while..." she said, feeling daunted. 1
