Stardate 201001.01 - Continued. Reposted from the Targ’s Head 02.01.2010 Jenssen takes her glass of Brandy as Grewell hands it to her. She sips it before continuing the tale, tossing her wild blonde hair back of her shoulders. "On New Year’s Eve we held our Championship Tournament. Throughout the year we run a winners bracket and loser’s bracket for the bouts. On New Year’s Eve, we settle once and for all, who is the years finest Jousting Champion. The winner of the bout goes to the first one to score three hits or unseat their opponent. A knock down of the riders beast counts as two hits as long as the bout can continue. A rider can forfeit without taking a hit at any time in the run by lifting his lance and trotting his beast past the mid-point should either he or his beast not be able to continue the bout." "Like thats likely!" Gorp bellows laughing at what is obviously a coward’s option. "True Gorp, there are not many who would take that option in the THE KLINGON EMPIRE." Jenssen smiles down at the crowd. "Coming into the match from our loosers bracket, Kelran Kave of Andoria riding the Andorian Ice Runner Beast 'Blade' and our very own Naussicaan, Gorp, riding the Nausicaan War Beast 'Rover'." The crowd murmurs in appreciation as Gorp grins kicking, a booted foot up onto the edge of the table, to lean his chair back as he lifts his drink high above his head. JJ slugs Gorp in the shoulder trying to be one with the warrior. Gorp leans over to growls at him, breathing hot Saurian brandy laced breath in JJ’s face. JJ shrinks back in his chair looking a little afraid that he might have just made a life-ending move. But then Grewell laughs and slugs JJ in the opposite shoulder to let him know the two big warriors are just toying with him, nearly knocking JJ off the chair. Gorp catches JJ and rights him, keeping JJ from sliding off onto the floor. Jenssen continues unphased by the antics of the three in front of her, "And from our winner’s bracket, Dundin Dur of Alpha Irindi riding a loaner Soleggiettian Desert Beast 'Buzzsaw'. Dundins original mount took ill with some kind of stomach upset, so we loaned him Grewell’s favorite mount, 'Buzzsaw', as a replacement. Our other winners bracket champion, riding an Angkor Tundra Runner Beast 'Tank', our very own Grewell." "Meh." Grewell lifts a gloved hand in the air, dismissing his whole part in the story and taking a big gulp from his mug of Bloodwine. "Our guests for this bout came from all over the Quadrant, some by my personal invitation." Jenssen inclines her at Roark Tick who raises his mug to her in appreciation for the free front row tickets. "You got your New Year’s wish didn't ya' Roark." Jenssen nods over the crowd looking at the purple Insectoid with mischief in her eyes. "Dah! I got a good mouthful!" Roark roars back to her. The crowd laughs a little hesitantly, eyeing him a little wearily. "Oh Me, Me, Me!" JJ raises his hand, obviously already four sheets to the wind and the story has only begun. Jenssen laughs, "Yes, you too JJ. We also had some people you all know. Jarmen Kell joined us, sitting strategically in a second row and bringing his own sheet of plastic. Smart man there!" "Dah, I should have thought of that!" Roark Tick - 20009 bellows from the back of the room,"Next time!" Jenssen continues, "Many of our Klingon brothers and sister were there. Tor'Cha ajla - House of Tor =Klingon Empire= and Ka'Ra 'la - House of Tor =Klingon Empire= were there. Tel'Peh and his bride to be Nannersplit - 24077 were our guests of honor, all sitting with me in the official's booth right in front of the midpoint of the rail, first row seats. We even had a surprise visit by Admiral Oblivion as he was spied sitting up on the top row in a corner of the arena, puffing smoke rings. " "Where is Oblivion? I saw him in here earlier?" Jenssen scans out over the crowd and there is Oblivion sitting in a dark corner of the bar, once again puffing a rather suspicious blend of smoke rings. "Ah there you are!" Jenssen winks at him, "Haven't you finished that joint yet?" The crowd laughs and claps. To be continued .. |

Stardate 201001.01 - Continued. Reposted from the Targ’s Head 02.01.2010 Jenssen, Gorp and Grewell all look up and back to the edge of the Bar where Mudd is making a spectacle of himself. The crowd looks back and forth between them wondering. Jenssen smiles a mischievous grin. Why Admiral H. F. Mudd =Cmdr FCR fleet ops=, how thoughtful of you to ask me to sing the song. A warrior bard such as myself is honored that you appreciate my fine singing voice which no doubt you have heard from time to time over subspace. However, my dear Lad, the time is late and already this tale is long. I must have time to get home before Moreth needs her night cap." Jenssen grins like the Cheshire Cat and continues. "And besides, I did see one of your cloned android wives, Stella, I believe, outside the bar. Norman it seems has forgotten to repair that off switch on her. A fine lady such as that would not believe you would venture into a place such as this. NOW... if I were to sing, it would no doubt draw her suspicions and she would come looking for you here. You know how jealous she gets when she thinks you are seeing other women behind her back. No doubt you would not get her to shut up for a week." Mudd's eyes suddenly grow very big and his jaw drops. He quietly turns off the amplifier, carefully puts down the microphone with a little pat, whispering to it, 'later my dear, later, just you and me, we'll sing then.' and quickly returns to his chair in the corner of the bar to the crowd's applause...they didn't really want to see his cloned android wife either.
