She posted our 100th post!! @-->--- a rose for her work! And now on to the plot summaries. I used pretty much each that was sent. There were so many points of view, each unique...so enjoy! ~~~~Plot Summaries~~~~~ Plot_Name: CCB Per Jausse All hell breaks loose when Club Coco Bongo explodes. Nightworlders and humans alike scramble in the confusion alternately saving lives and saving their own necks. Jausse arrives in the confusion of the aftermath and quickly works to save some people (and avoid getting the existence of the Nightworld in the media). Jausse, Joan and Peridot help save Draco and then turn their efforts toward saving Ishtar. The main beam is just about to break when Jausse takes the initative to secure it. Absinthe and her team secure the beam in the meantime and lift it off of Ishtar. __ Plot_Name: Club Coco Bongo Per Varya Finding herself alone again, Varya headed off to the Circle Daybreak party, both by invitation and for an assassination job. A little depressed and not really in the mood for dancing, she didn't hesitate to grab a drink at the bar, easily making conversation with Sin. A flashy welcome delivered by Crow and Harlequin interrupted them before Crow made his way towards the witch to ask her to dance. Not long after, Varya found herself once again exchanging introductions, this time with Xilia. Dominick, too, happened to be at the bar, and after deciding he had to forget about Varya and just move on, he began chatting to the two women nearest to him - which happened to be Xilia and his recent ex. However, Varya was wearing a mask so while she knew that she was talking to him, Dominick didn't realise he was talking to her, especially when she made a quick save by putting on a british accent and introducing herself as Sera Collins, an alias. Meanwhile, Richie and Dymas arrived at the party, the former tripping over people left and right while also keeping a look out for his girlfriend K'or who had yet to arrive. Eventually, after a particularly bad fall, he ended up behind the bar and figuring he might as well make use of himself, started pouring drinks. While in this position, he noticed Xilia and, glad to find someone else he knew, began talking to her. Seeing that Xilia was occupied, Dominick asked a hyperventilating Varya to dance. From some of the things that Dominick had said, Varya assumed that he knew who she was and that he was just playing her for a fool. So she found herself feeling a mixture of anger and wistfulness as they continued to dance, while Dominick kept thinking that "Sera" seemed very similar to Varya. After the song ended and as midnight neared, Varya made a hasty retreat, almost having forgotten that she had to set up to assassinate a certain Nightworlder. As she turned, Dominick saw the dragon/phoenix tattoo on her back and realised it /had/ been her the whole time. A little later on, Siva exited the nightclub with Varya's target, posing as a recently hired secretary. Varya, having taken the place of the target's chauffeur, drove up in the limosine, planning on driving away to a secluded place where she could take both of them out without any trouble. Little did she know that Siva was out to kill the same man, and as they were driving away - and just as the club began exploding - Siva killed him. Varya saw the whole thing but the dragon escaped before she could see her face. ___ Plot_Name: Club Coco Bongo (N.O.) Per Ishtar The New Years Celebration is underway, and the Draven family girls and their date Tristan, all arrive in hopes of having some fun in the last moments of the year; however, someone else had a better plan. BOOM! The front of the building is blown up along with some cars outside, and this leaves K'or and Ishtar in awkward, damaged positions. Richie is there as K'or's savior and Tristan and Sin make quick work of the beam holding Ishtar down. Ozma on the other hand, is more busy finding further New Years fun and isn't too concerned with the trouble inside. A'stel nearly meets and earlier death than she expected when something is jammed clean into her side and she starts bleeding all over the place. She too is saved, for the time being, but this particular accident cost her more than just some skin and blood. Plot_Summary: Per Ha-nahkt Dymas lies to Richie to get him to dress up and go to Club Coco Bongo. When Richie realizes that K'or isn't there (and has a clumsy moment involving someone's foot and the bar) he decides to try bartending for a while. A whole bunch of people show up one at a time and gather at the bar starting conversations. Varya and Dominick seem to be having love issues. Dymas runs into an old friend, Satana and his slightly deranged soulmate Blossom. Ha-nahkt and Kyoshiro are sitting at a table together but as Kyoshiro gets drunk Ha-nahkt decides to ditch him and walks off. Kyoshiro falls face down on the floor and is "rescued" by A'stel, a Phoenix shifter he's friends with. Ha-nahkt ends up in an conversation with Obsidian. Tearlach walks into the club and finds an old aquaintance there, Richie. His cousin Xilia is also there and after he walks up and says hello there is a warning from Crow Deniker that there are bombs in and outside the club. Before anyone can do much there are explosions. Richie who is finally found by his love K'or is knocked down by a combination of the blast and K'or. He heals her and then carries her out of the building. Dymas shields Satana and can feel Blossom in pain outside. He asks Richie to heal her for him. Ha-nahkt is shielded by Obsidian and goes to help A'stel who has been badly wounded. Kyoshiro frets over A'stel. Outside Richie heals Blossom and gets dizzy himself from all the healing and his own head wound. Blossom wakes up for a bit and notices that Dymas has relocated to a building roof. Tearlach manages to keep his cousin safe but wants to get out of the building as soon as possible and figure out what is going on. ____ Plot_Name: CCB: Inside the club Per Draco Many people were wounded in the blast and people came in to heal them and to figure out what happened. _____ ~*~*~Player of the Week~*~*~ Probably everyone’s favorite category besides quotes.

Keep up all the good work!! --Varya ____And last but not least we close with memorable quotes!____ "Ooooh magic drinks!" -Elwyn "Okay. Let's see you do your stuff, Peridot." She paused again. "Now I KNOW that isn't a bird, because that's a peregrine." - Joan A place explodes and all the strong ones are all: 'No prob, I can fix you. Barkeep, pass me a drink while I tend to this dying man.' - Joan Ergit "Well hello! Fancy seeing you out in this mess, surprised your not melting and a little disappointed your not burried in the club. AH well guess we can't all get our wishes. Damn! And I told Santa thats all I really wanted for Christmas too! Not that nice brand new corvett of mine that is now grandly displayed in several areas of the block! " - Whisper "No it will be fine I hear fire trucks outside. Unfortunately this also means we've drawn some unwanted attention." "Don't explosions usually do that?" - Tearlach and Xilia "Wait, it appears to be friendly." "Hun, I don't care if it appears to be made of gold and mithril. we need to get out of here." - Tarkin and Torin "Monkeylovinfucktardassshitdamnfuckfuckfuckmotherfuckshitaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!" - Donovan "I'm not sure the insurance carrier will cover damage inflicted by said owner." - Selka "I had a drink, I talked, I schmoozed. I pissed and the place blew up." - Donovan Sadie's eyes rolled as her sister's frame blocked the rearview mirror while she searched for the umbrella's in the back. There was a thud of metal on metal and Angel fell over. "See what your ass did. Sit the hell down." - Sadie and Angel There didn't seem to be anything unusual going on. Unusual being hoardes of locusts from another dimension, dueling sorcerei, swords being pulled out of stones and the like. No, this just looked like several bombs had gone off - normal terrorist activity. No big deal. - Charles "Here shoe. . . c'mere shoe. . I can't walk through rubble in just a sock . . . " - Cleon : "Peridot? Isn't that the name of an Agatha Christie character? Or a type of water? Or am I thinking of Perierre? Champagne, maybe? Shutting up now." (Joan) "One thing though... if she tries to kick my ass she's on her own." (Richie) "ooww son of a monkey in a bar!!" (Blossom) "BAH! Think I'd let myself die before I got to talk with my daughters' boyfriend? -Ishtar "Oh Baby tell me you're alright. . . speak to me baby! please!! ...And you're ever still in tune. . I love you baby!" -Cleon, about his guitar "That is a very bad place with loud noises and smoke."Elwyn "So are you the flavor of the week? Or are you going to try and hang on to this one sweets?" -Whisper Ravenlock "Boy wonder?" He looked her, wondering where that had come from? "And I suppose you would be cat woman? Or bat girl?" -Trenan Calhoun "It can be fun, but sometimes it can be a little icky... kissing people for the sake of healing them. They aren't always so kissable," -Ozma Draven K'or (with wood imbedded in her shoulder): "Are you okay?" Richie: "ME? Am I okay?!" Richie tried to hold her still. "Now you stay still or I'm going to tell your mother on you." "Someone is playing with the wrong type of fireworks." - Trenan "Monkeylovinfucktardassshitdamnfuckfuckfuckmotherfuckshitaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!" - Donovan "Hey don't go reading my private thoughts like that!" "If you don't want me to hear what you are thinking then don't think so loudly." - Richie and Dymas Dymas: "Richie, you are by far one of the most whipped of all males." Richie: "I am not whi--" (trips and falls over bar) "Ow." Dymas: "I can't take you anywhere." Richie: "Hey! It's not my fault someone put their leg there!" Dymas: "Remember me? Big black rabbit?" Richie: "More like a big, black, shadowy pain in the ass..." Dymas: "I heard that." Richie: "Oh I don't care if you heard me! I'm wearing this tux because you tricked me." Dymas: {{{Hello... Shadow man.}}} "Though I'm sure you drink quite often I try not to in this world. I've noticed that men seem to try to get women intoxicated to take advantage of them and I can't have that happening to me I'm a Priestess you know." - Ha-nahkt Dymas: "Remember me? Big black rabbit?" Xilia: "Sure. You were the one that gave me such a hard time about eating. You know, I could have just eaten your friend over there." Dymas: "I'm sure you could have but I doubt he'd taste very good plus there isn't much meat on him." Xilia: "Well, this is true." Richie: "Hey! No need to go picking on me! I'm not the one who jumped on your head as a giant, black rabbit while you were sleeping you know." Xilia: "This is also true. Maybe I should have just eaten you, Dymas." Cleon: "Hi there, Nice whiskers." Richie: "Wouldn't you love for a guy to say that to ya Xi?" Xilia: "And who says that they don't say that already?" Richie: "Well I'm sure they look very lovely Xi but if I went looking at your whiskers I think K'or might kill me." Richie (after Dymas gives Satana a rose): "He didn't give me a rose when he ran into me again..." Then he caught what he was saying and tried to correct himself. "Not that I need one or anything since I'm a guy obviously but still... he could have given me a computer game or something..." Xilia: "Well, you know, I didn't get a rose, either. Or even another rabbit." Richie: "Well if you really want a rose or another rabbit I'm sure you could ask him. He'd probably be the only rabbit in a tux in this entire place. Unless there are some rabbit shifters about." Blossom: {{{DAMN YOU DYMAS!!! YOU AND THIS STUPID SOULMATE LAW!!}}} Xilia: "Ow." Xilia shook her head. "She needs to keep her voice down." Richie: "Well I'll leave it up to you to tell her that, I don't think she's very male friendly right now." And there you have it!!! Thanks for every one who contributed! Until next time Happy Hunting!
