OOC/MuseVerse: Inkwell Party!

[clockwork_doc]

When he's not roleplaying in the Rift or the Nexus, the Doc Brown known as "Clockwork" lives in the Inkwell Bar and Grill, the local restaurant and hangout for his mun Victoria's muses. Clockwork also happens to own the place, so it's very easy for him to conscript it for his birthday. Anyone entering today will find that the bar has a wide selection of various cakes on it for people to sample, along with freezers full of ice cream. Clockwork himself is seated at the bar with a slice of chocolate cake, smiling at anyone who comes in.

Anybody's welcome to drop by, either just to say "hi" or to grab some cake. (One warning -- you might want to avoid the cake on the far left of the bar. Mrs. Plum made that one, and being a dead cook from "Corpse Bride" prone to putting body parts in her meals. . . .)

Clockwork smiles at her. "It's okay. I just didn't want to hurt you by accidentally blowing you out the door. Or a window." Stupid emotion-triggered weather powers.

Doc looks around too. "It is! And Clockwork's had some friends come over from the Rift and the Nexus."

"What's the point in owning this place if I can't invite my friends over once in a while?" Clockwork asks with a shrug.

AL pats Clockwork's hand. "Aww, don't worry about me. My reflexes have gotten good over the millenia and I heal twice as fast as a normal human."

"You got a point there. Gary would do the same with McGinty's when we were living in Chicago."

She scans the cakes, wrinkling her nose at the one on the far end. "I don't want to know," she comments and takes a slab of ice cream cake.

"Even still," Clockwork shrugs.

"Precisely," Clockwork says, smiling again. "Planning on hosting a Halloween event too, if I can."

Clockwork grimaces in that cake's general direction. "Mrs. Plum," he says in explanation. "It's for Victor's friends. I think Bonejangles and Emily are around here someplace. . . ."

"Oooh," AL croons at the Halloween party idea. "That's cool. As I think about it, I think the first Halloween I really officially celebrated was in '83 with my Doc."

"Ahh, gotcha." AL just kind of shakes her head at the corpse cake. Whatever floats your boat. "Are Paige and you getting along okay? Things working out?" It's obvious this is a big thing for her. She wants Clockwork happy and is afraid her idea of sending a Fairycorn to him would blow up in her face.

Clockwork grins. "Thanks. I've already got a costume in mind." Thanks to a mun quietly sticking it in his closet. "And I heard about that one. Sounded great."

"I think Victor put a sign on it, just in case."

He pats her on the shoulder reassuringly. "We're fine," he tells her. "She's a sweetheart. Sort of the 'mascot' for the Inkwell." Paige flits out and prances around the bartop.

His words about Paige are a huge load off AL's mind. "Whew," she says, giggling at the tiny equine's antics. "That's great."

Clockwork pats her shoulder again. "Thanks for giving her to me. It's nice to know there's good fairies in the world."

Paige whinnies. "You just have to know where to look!"
