hearing horrible creaking noises coming from the roof
"uh oh"
roadwolf pulls out an umbrella just as part of the roof caves in

Wolf: Ya. I'll go move it.
(I walk out the front door, climb up the outside wall, and heft myself into the front door of the Watering Hole.)
Wolf: Hey Sam. I'll fix this in a minute.
(I look at the big mirror behind the bar and step into Dreamtime. The Watering Hole looks pretty much the same in Dreamtime but the world outside is psychedelic and Escheresque. A "school" of big, shining globes are swirling around outside. Behind the bar, instead of a mirror, is a huge "face".)
Wolf (sitting at the bar): Hey, Buddy, how'ya'doin'?
Hole: Fine, just fine. Want something to drink?
Wolf: Sure thing. But could ya' move off the top of the building?
Hole: Sure. Just thought I'd visit.
(A weird inside-out feeling tells me that THe Watering Hole has moved.)
Wolf: Glad you did. It's been awhile.
Hole: You coming back?
Wolf: No, I don't want to nail myself down. I can't quite get Blue to understand that I haven't "owned" you for, oh, heck, I guess 80 years - It was during World War II wasn't it?
Hole: Yeah, right after we heard about Pearl Harbor. You didn't tell him who really "owns" me did you?
Wolf: O.o Oh, heck, no. He wouldn't have been able to handle that. Why didn't you just eat him?
Hole: Aw, I liked him - and that minotaur, too. They were fun.
Wolf (grin): Yeah, they're alright. So, what's been goin'on with you?
Hole: You mean after you left the last time?.....well, you see........

(After a brief absence (relative to the Cafe - relative to The Watering Hole, it's been about three days) I reappear in my seat at The Cafe bar.)
Wolf: okay, The Watering Hole's gone from the roof.
(My coffee is still warm.......and good)

*peers at Wolf's cup as if it was a visitor from another planet* whooaaa... a cup that always stays warm...

*Pops back into the cafe and trips over debris*
"OK, Ow, who left that stuff in the doorway? Oh, Montana, the mug VanZandt has carries a minor enchantment that keeps the contents at perfect drinking temp, I can put it on your mug if you like."
*Dusts off jacket and sits at the bar, Ordering a Hot Choc.*

Wolf (raising his mug to Spacewolf); Yeah, coffee magic is good magic. Did I ever tell you my coffee story? I was in a restaurant once talkngto this guy - I don't remember what we were talking about but we were really into the conversation. My coffee had cooled off and I was kicking it back pretty good. So I came to a breather and knocked back a slug of coffee and........somebody had freshened it. I walked around with a scalded tongue the next few days.

*laughs* Oh no!!

Wolf: Oh, yeah. If I could have shifted it wouldn't have been so bad but that wouldn't have worked at all.

God I hate that, when I'm eating soup or something and you burn your tongue FIRST and then you can't taste the freakin' soup!
Hmm... soup. *whips up a big pot of split pea and ham (with polish kelbasa sausage) soup* Anybody want some? I know some folks think that split pea soup looks like baby vomit *peeks in pot* and they've got a point, but it's still bloody good stuff
Offline
Wolf: Uh, yeah, good stuff, especially if you load it down with hot sauce.
(Accepts a bowl from Montana and pours in hot sauce until it's brown.)
Wolf: Thanks. And there's foccocia bread inthe ice box.
(I dig out a slice of foccocia bread and pop it in the ice box.)
Wolf: Now, all we need is a dark chocolate cake.
Offline
Oooh... *peers at Wolf's bowl suspiciously* It looks like my ancestors should be crawling outta there any second.
Chocolate cake, chocolate cake... um... *dives behind the counter, pokes around in the cupboards, then pops head into fridge*
WOOT! *pulls out large split chocolate cake (devil's food) with dark chocolate icing*
... the question is, should I eat the cake first, or the soup....
Offline
Wolf (hopefully): You could dip a slice of the cake in the soup. THat'd be good.

"i'll take some"

Offline
Wolf: Mmmmmm....chocolate
(I shove both pieces in my mouth at once and chase it with the rest of the soup in the bowl.)
Wolf: Wwwm ah uh oooo.
Wolf: (Gulp): Excuse me. That was good. Thanks.
(Everybody's staring at me.)
Wolf: O.o What?!

Wolf (reaching behind the counter to refill his cup): Uh, coffee, anyone?
Offline
Wolf: Oh, yeah.
(I vault over the counter and whip up an Irish Creme coffee for Black Wolf.)
Wolf: Want anything on top?
