The Season Two Wrap Party
and
Contract Negotiation Settlement Celebration
in Technicolor ™
|
||
| |
Alice and Wally, here, with live coverage of the Season Two Wrap Party! |
|
|
||
| |
Everyone that could make it
is here! Now let’s go down to the floor with the host, Harcourt Fenton Mudd. |
|
|
||
|
Oh, call me Harry, darlin,’
we’re not formal here, not ‘t all. |
|
|
||
|
|
Okay, Harry, can we start
with the setup and your staff? Especially any blondes?
|
|
|
||
|
|
Well, here at the bar, the
lads can get you any drink you can imagine! ‘Cept for coffee, that runs
out soon. |
|
|
||
|
|
Um, Harry, are those aliens?
No, friend, they’ve been naturalized! I think I dated one of them….
|
|
|
||
|
|
And the three things me father
taught me: keep a band on retainer, a lawyer on call, and a doctor on staff. Here be the band! |
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wow, Wally, listen to that beat! I’m not sure Pamela’s mike is plugged in?
It’d better not be, Wally, it’s a flashlight.
|
|
|
||
|
|
And the hero of me kitchen,
Samurai Baker, Stolen away from the Iron Age Chef show! That show will never be big
until cooking is a contact sport. |
|
|
||
|
|
Here’s the secret to a truly
great party - A Doctor and a Nurse! That’s a nurse? I feel, uh, sick
Harry, is that an early party casualty?
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not really, that’s me assistant.
He’s in charge of intoxicants and refreshments. I guess he gets into his work….or vice versa.
|
|
|
||
|
|
And these are some great monitors
I keep on staff: Abbot Able, Brother Baker and Cameraman Charlie. Between
the three of them, anyone’ll be able to figure out what they did t’night,
if they, um, ferget. |
|
|
||
|
|
And last of all, me hospitality
staff are mingling thru th’ party, seeing to everyone's needs. |
|
|
||
|
|
Looks like they’re seeing, and being seen! Harry, what are they doing up
there above the dance floor? |
|
|
||
|
|
Ah, well, there’s a bit of
extra security for anyone, um, not born of earth, as it were. |
|
|
||
|
|
Some of me security men have
had a bad day or two, because of an alien influence. Well, who hasn’t?
|
|
|
||
|
|
Looks like they’re trying to screen
out anyone with blood on their breath, or zap guns on their belts. It works for the airlines, I guess.
|
|
|
||
|
|
It certainly looks like you’ve
prepared for everything, Harry. And everyone looks to be
having a good time! |
|
|
||
|
|
But at all MY parties, Harry,
No, darlin,’ that’s most of a party’s everyone tends to clique up. Is that a problem? POINT, to find new people you can talk with. |
|
|
||
|
|
I mean, really, the Masters
of Ancient Lore, tend to be lousy at small talk, so they discuss World Threatening Portents... |
|
|
||
|
|
…and who but cavemen want to
discuss the tastiest way to serve termites? Harry, if there are termites in the buffet, I REALLY don't wanna know. |
|
|
||
|
|
And the teens tend to ‘hang’
near the band.
I guess we used to do that, too.
‘Cuz hanging by the bar was too obvious.
|
|
|
||
|
|
And here I see the techno geeks
Exactly. The secret is havin’ the discussing technical matters. room for ever’body, don’t you see. |
|
|
||
|
|
I think I see three generations
of Star Trek connecting. I see Jean-Luc and Beverly
discussing their connections.... |
|
|
||
|
|
Look there, Alice, a big, bad
wolf has found a Red Riding Hood to his taste! I’m wondering if it’s the other way round.
|
|
|
||
|
|
Oh, look, here’s someone else way out
of his league. She’d be about as likely a date for you, Wally.
Hey, it could happen.
|
|
|
||
|
|
Whoops! Security found an alien inside!
That’s Picard. He’s not a Romulan,
he just played one on TV. |
|
|
||
|
|
Harry, can you tell us who’s up
there overlooking everything?
Oh, that’s Odin and his private function. |
|
|
||
|
|
Odin and his Valkyries, The
Choosers of the Slain, have relaxed a bit for the party. To prevent DUI’s,
tonight, they’re Choosers of the Fallen. Other Immortals and Divine have
joined them for tonight. |
|
|
||
|
|
That should be much later, I think, everyone’s just getting started. |
|
|
||
|
|
Most of them look like they’ll last as
long as the music does. So, Harry, what do guests do if
they don’t feel like dancing? |
|
|
||
|
|
Well, below decks we have a
hot tub set up... |
|
|
||
|
|
…and next to that is a shooting
gallery. |
|
|
||
|
|
Each guest gets a thousand
rounds. |
|
|
||
|
|
And we’ve set up a kitchen,
too. |
|
|
||
|
|
Lotsa folk seem to end up in
the kitchen, for most of a party. |
|
|
||
|
|
Samurai Baker and me staff
have spent some time an’ effort making it a cozy place to ‘hang out.’ |
|
|
||
|
|
It certainly looks comfortable, Harry.
I want to live in that kitchen.
|
|
|
||
|
|
Actually, Wally, I think we’ve
covered enough of the party from here. I agree. Out of my way to the beer.
|
|
|
||
| |
This is Alice, with Wally,
signing off from the wrap party. Much later, sorting the take at Fallhalla- |
|
|
||
| |
Host, I believe this one is
not drunk but truly dead. |
|
|
||
| |
No, darlin,’ he always looks
like that... |
