well, that’s because it’s a Guinness flower… …oh, who am I kidding? I might be able to fool the hands of Fate that the flower survived, but I’m not a good enough liar to get it out beer-free… … \* this \* one though: ::passes non-alcoholic flower to Audrey:: ::looks for bartender:: Umm, could I get something non-flammable? ---

Good idea, as I’m allergic to alcohol. Even in flora form. Y’know, seeing as this IS a bar fight, I feel obligated to contribute somehow. So… ::plucks third ice cube out of drink, and drops it down Myrr’s pants:: ::flees:: WOO HOO!! ---

You trying to get me to strip? 😃 Well it’s a good thing that my underwear–in addition to being wedgie-proof–is also cold-resistant. Ha ha! Oh, and by the way, every good bar has a backup trough… _dunks Audrey in backup trough_ _looks for can of Ice-B-Gon instant underwear-ice remover_ ---

All the ladies admire my flashlight, Sassy. I consider it a real attribute. ::gets yanked off his stool by John Larrigan, who tells him to leave the redheaded women to the Irishmen:: I’ll be right back, Sassy, Persephone. I just have to deal with this fellow who wants to rearrange my facial components. ::blocks a well-aimed kick and flips Larrigan onto the pool table:: Save me some wings, OK?
