FIRE Meeting, Fast Eddie's, Friday 4/16 Evening

[stayingfrosty.livejournal.com]

As people (hopefully) began to filter in, he stood on a chair to make his little announcement.

"I'd like to thank you all for coming. This isn't going to be a long speech, don't worry. For those that don't know me, I'm Captain John Price. I guess I'm in charge of this little club. Now you'll notice that the staff here aren't charging for the lanes tonight. That's because I worked out a deal. This club will be visiting various establishments around town each week, and we'll basically... show up and have fun. That's about all it's about, folks. Making friends, having a laugh, the simple things. Now you do still have to rent your own shoes, but that's just pittance, ain't it? So feel free to order some refreshment, get bowling, or stop by the arcade. And if you've got suggestions or anything for future meetings, I'll be over there."

He pointed towards the 'Big Game Hunter 3000' arcade machine.

"And that's all the speech you'll be getting. Have some fun already."

[ETA: Yep, it still serves alcohol. My bad! Also, I am around now]

Show Up and Mingle!

[stayingfrosty.livejournal.com]

That's part of the whole point.

Summer showed up to the FIRE meeting, a bit excited that she was getting out and doing something with her Friday. She couldn't decide if she should bowl first or hit the arcade, so she decided to get a drink first.

"Co-worker!" A beat. "Well, technically you're my employee, but those are just the nasty lil' details of this sordid life we teachers live. Someday we'll have a show where Coldplay and Snow Patrol play insistently to show how much we feel."

"Thank you for coming," Price said, approaching with an outstretched hand. "May I get your name, please?"

Dani was rather apprehensive about the idea of renting bowling shoes, but the fact that she even showed up was impressive.

Deadpool pointed like he knew her, but shrugged instead. "Yeah, I got nothin'."

"Glad to see you could make it," Price said to his landlord. "Hopefully it'll prove an interesting evening."

Cindy didn't even have to rent bowling shoes; she had her own pair for those infrequent times she bowled.

Seriously, what was the point of owning a shoe store if one had to rent footwear from places?

Right now she was casually keeping an eye on things (things being everyone and everything), while pretending to sip her soda and lounge on a seat.

[Epic SP warning, but wanted to get her out!]

Heedless of any sort of slowplaying, Deadpool needed to get his pimp on by talkin' to all the ladies. Oh yeah.

"Your own shoes? How classy."

Re: Show Up and Mingle!

"You seem to have far more stylish footwear than what this establishment provides," Mina remarked, impressed. "Very impressive."

Kris wasn't much of a bowler, but she figured it was a good idea to get to know more people. Also, she thought it could be fun.

Meet Deadpool, Kris. He was possibly going to make inappropriate comments about you and ogle you a bit.

Oh, who are we kidding? He's totally going to do that.

"Have we met or am I just mixing up usernames?" Just... go with it.

"Thank you for coming," Price said, approaching with an outstretched hand. "May I get your name, please?"

Re: Show Up and Mingle!

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Deadpool just haaaad to raise his hand now. Like a gradeschooler, yes. Because it was more fun that way.

"Question, oh bearded captain who isn't Tim Cruise."

Re: Show Up and Mingle!

"Hopefully I have an answer for you," he said. "What's the question?"

He reacted pleasantly enough. After all, he'd seen the man around before.

Given Oz's habit of wearing bowling shirts, it should come as no surprise to anyone that he was here. Though it'd been awhile since he'd been bowling. He hoped he hadn't gotten too rusty.

Ash had mostly recovered from the whole future possible kid thing and decided she really did need to get out more so she decided to swing by the bowling alley.

Mina was not sure what sort of recreation was going to be enthused about, but she still showed up. After all, it seemed like something she could enjoy.

Bowl!

[stayingfrosty.livejournal.com]

Like The Dude.

Re: Bowl!

[loyal-type.livejournal.com]

Oz carefully tested the balls to see which one was just the right weight. This call is too heavy. This ball is too light. Ah, this ball was just right.

And green. Cool.

Play at the Arcade

[stayingfrosty.livejournal.com]

Where various arcade machines are available for enjoyment.

Re: Play at the Arcade

[loyal-type.livejournal.com]

Oh, look. Guitar Hero Arcade. Oz would be here awhile.

Talk to Price

[stayingfrosty.livejournal.com]

He's over at the Arcade, racking up a high score on the Big Game Hunter machine.

OOC

[stayingfrosty.livejournal.com]

Price's speech pretty much encapsulates the whole idea behind FIRE. It's intended just as an excuse to get adult characters to interact more, but students won't be turned away.

Any questions, concerns, OOC suggestions, feel free to drop them here or hit me an e-mail.

Wait, when did Fast Eddies stop serving alcohol?
