William Brand Posted June 9, 2006 Author Posted June 9, 2006 The Kate is particularly fine after dark when all of her scrapes and scratches are dulled and hidden by the darkness. Her peeling paint. Her damaged timbers. Yes, at night the Kate is a more elegant lady. The fireplace built into a breach on her starboard side forward, lights the main room of the establishment with an amber glow and makes shadows both whimsical and moody. The date palms can be heard whispering through an open window and the breeze moves what few lamps remain lit, their greasy light making Djin on the beams. When much of the clientele is gone for the night, one can pull up a chair in front of the fire and let the flames mesmerize and hypnotize one's thoughts. The past and present blend into a sort of hazy daydream. It's heady stuff. Thoughts that are more cobweb then discovery fill the corners of one's mind. Even now the proprietor relieves his feet of heavy footwear and places them soundly in a wash basin brimming with hot water. He sighs the sigh of a man worn from a good day's work. It's a good tired. A song drifts in from the kitchen where the cook is softly singing some half forgotten tune to himself. There is a soft thud as a sooty cat, black as the hour, drops from a table and waltzes over to the fire, twining and twining around the man's legs. "A quiet night and a good night. Wouldn't you agree, Mihos?"
lady snow Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 ***slides in next to cap'n william and puts her feet up**** nice fire you got going here, sir. brought some donuts with me, got any grog to wash them down? ~snow with faith, trust and pixiedust, everything is possible if it be tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

Silkie McDonough Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Silkie, noting Will rubbing the back of his neck walks behind her friend and begins to massage away the mild stiffness in his neck and shoulders while she softly harmonizes with the cook.
Bunnycutlass Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 The guy on the Rootbeer looks a bit like Dorian... Is that my imagination? Bunny Cutlass
William Brand Posted June 9, 2006 Author Posted June 9, 2006 The guy on the Rootbeer looks a bit like Dorian...Is that my imagination? Well, this is Henry Weinhard... And this is the Butcher of Jamaica that most of you know as Dorian Lasseter... I don't see a resemblance.
William Brand Posted June 9, 2006 Author Posted June 9, 2006 I'm kidding of course. This is Mister Lasseter.
Black Syren Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 William..Ye had me going there for a minute. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)

Silkie McDonough Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Silkie, still kneeding Williams shuoulders and neck, giggles as she sees the altered etching of Mr. Lassiter. Well done lad! I needs me PhotoShop ...soon, very soon. :) Lady Snow, tis wonderful news of your lads! I'd raise a glass but any job worth doing is worth doing well and I have not finished here. M'hands are full!

Silkie McDonough Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Silkie works her way slowly and deftly from Will's shoulders and neck up into his hairline to his scalp and finishes at his temples. As soon as she finished she presents him a shot of warm spiced rum. Thet auta relax ya a bit. She smiles at Will, takes a seat near Lady Snow and downs the cool rootbeer that has been waiting.
William Brand Posted June 13, 2006 Author Posted June 13, 2006 "Aye. Thank you." William drowns his feet in the basin and his mind in the firelight.
Silkie McDonough Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Silkie starts another tune, a ballad of sailors and love lost. (Do the Irish write any other story lines for their ballads?) Her alto voice fills the empty room wrapping all in a soothing blanket of sound.
William Brand Posted June 15, 2006 Author Posted June 15, 2006 The place may be quiet, but I don't mind being the proprietor tonight. Good company is the wine of life.
