HQ: The 'Ready Lounge'

[hero4hire]

Nick shakes his head.

"When I joined this biz..I never woulda figgered there'd be so many Monkeys...Not so many as when I was bouncin' but still.

The overly muscled man, the lone occupant in the room until the arrival of Monkey Wrench, poured himself something alcoholic and swigged it down before addressing the creature.

"Monkey Wrench huh? You related to Gun Monkey? I worked with him before."

 

[raynbow]

At the sound of Nick's voice, Monkey Wrench turns and looks around. It jabbers something into it's headset, hits a button on a datapad, and suddenly there is a loud squealing noise in Nick's comlink.

The monkey sighs, stops craddling its foot, and reaches up to adjust a dial on it's headset.

It jabbers again, and this time, through Nick's comlink comes a soft, slightly mechanical sounding voice.

'Oooops. Sorry about that. Did you, uh, say something?'

 

[hero4hire]

Nick shakes his head again and takes another drink.

"I said are you drinking or not?"

 

[raynbow]

Nick shakes his head again and takes another drink.

"I said are you drinking or not?"

Monkey Wrench looks at the glass in Nick's hand.


'What is that?'

 

[Rhialto]

"The Juggler" comes a voice at the door.

A slender man dressed up as a jester in a red, green and purple motley enters the waiting room, twirling a pair of billiard balls around in his hand. He begins to idly toss them back and forth between his hands as he looks around the room. "Hello? Anybody here?"

 

[raynbow]

Monkey Wrench takes a quick sniff of Nick's drink and wrinkles up her nose. She shakes her head and moves to take a look for herself at what there is to drink. She has just hopped up onto the bar when the door opens again.

She waves from the top of the bar, ooks softly into her headset, and a somewhat tiny voice repeats. 'Hello! We're over here. I'm Monkey Wrench and this is, uh.....'

ooc: Slight change to Monkey Wrench, nothing that really matters,just she doesn't use radio communication anymore, but instead just has a gadget that translates for her.

 

[hero4hire]

"Hey Juggler I'm Nick aka---" ROUGHNECK to Medical Room 12A Blaired the intercom interrupting his introduction.

"D'oh! Sorry 'bout that gotta jet." the Big Man said and took his leave.

OOC: The upcoming adventure was sent to me for review, so it wouldn't be fair for me to participate so I am writing Nick out of the Ready Room.

 

[Rhialto]

The Juggler begins to idly toss the billiards in the air, then catch them.

"Pleased to meet you both. You seem like a couple of amiable primates..."

 

[Rhialto]

Seeing as the room's fallen quiet, the Juggler decides to liven things up. Performing a handstand, he leaps gracefully behind the bar, and begins grabbing various bottles, tossing them in air and catching them gracefully. As he begins to juggle, he glances at Monkey Wrench. "So, what will you be having? A Margarita? Manhattan? Cosmopolitan? A Gin and Tonic? No, wait--don't tell me--you want a Banana Daiquiri."

 

[raynbow]

Monkey Wrench listens to the Juggler with a strange look on her face. And then reaches up to tap her headset a few times, and shrugs.

"I... I'm not sure I got all of that? I do like bananas, but what's a daiquiri?"
