<H2><font color="plum">Cloudy's Cafe</H2></font>

Come in, be welcome, be comfortable, be yourself


Welcome to Cloudy's Cafe, a place to have a cup of coffee or a good darjeeling and the finest in conversation and camaraderie.

The proprietor asks that you follow a few simple guidelines:


* <H3>this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone </h3>

* no flaming; if you disagree with a viewpoint expressed by any patron, please do so in a civil manner

* any topic is fair game, but keep posts to the standards that Ziroc has set for the entire forum, please (ie: foul language is not appropriate and things should be suitable for all audiences)
-a side note from Cloudy: I see this as a place for those short conversations about a new baby or the latest soccer fiasco, not for things that are big enough to warrant their own threads, by all means give those things the space they need and post separately!

* Please, no one word or smiley posts (Ziroc has declared them 'real spam' and the proprietor doesn't want the reputuation of "good spam" to suffer!)

* do feel free to be serious or silly and enjoy the company of others while you are here. By all means POST if you have something to say, even to start another topic , we can handle multiple chats, we're a CAFE!!! But be courteous and don't disrupt a conversation just to disrupt it.


<font color="pink"> Come on in! The bar is stocked with coffees, teas, juices and waters from around the world. And purple napkins, of course! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

The lighting is low, the golden oak counters and tables glow with inviting warmth. Near the window, the lighting is brighter, as comfy, plush leather armchairs wait for those who'd like to read a book while relaxing to music or just lazily watch the world go by.</font>

Cloudy, your hostess http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...s/EEhearts.gif

Hi, Cloudy. Could I get a nice cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows?
And a tissue. I'm still misted up over the post Elif just left about the Canadian who lauded praise on us. It's nice to know SOMEONE knows what good things America has done for other countries. I'd like to meet that person and give them a *BIG HUG*.

hey Cloudy, can i get a caffeine IV here? im runnin low after two rather hard days at school...

------------------
It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

***somehow manages to stumble in without spilling his half and half screwdriver, and takes a welcome seat near the fire***

Folks, it's great to see you all. How fare we all this evening? I know this is a real conversation zone, but isn't this a time when we all feel a bit like an escape from reality could do us all a bit of good? This has been without a doubt the strangest couple of days in my entire life. I remember being a tender 21 years old, being told I was going to Op Desert Storm, thinking to myself that there were people far better qualififed than I to do this and it had nothing to do with selfishnes or anything like that, but strictly that there were people better at what I did than I was (I could tell you all, but then I'd have to kill you http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/noncgi/smiles/485.gif ) and that I could serve my country better by staying back and helping others...ummm...I appear to be babbling...

***looks at his drink and understands why***

Anyway, the point I think I was trying to make is that I know more about myself now than I did then and today, I would do whatever was asked of me now, no questions asked to help this horrible nightmare come to an end, whether it be going about my daily routine with indignance, giving blood, fixing tanks, making a critical strike, whatever.

I guess what I'm trying (badly) to say is that this may be a very good time for us to be paladins, bards, clerics, wenches, maids, scalawags, rogues, whatever your heart says you are. I think that role playing may be critically important to all of us to maintain the part of ourselves that may really be the sane part of us... what do you think? Maybe a real role playing thread, or indeed a role playing board?

well, if you really want to go to a RP thread, theres always the BG2 bar in the SoA board. however, if LS will give me permission so that i wont be in competition with his own thread, i might start one here...

Well trust me, I'm not out to ruffle feathers, I'll start a RP thread of my own if need be, I'm just thinking that if we had a place where we could all go, shrug off the insanity that real life has become for a while, that might just help us all get through this with a bit more of our true selves intact, ya know?
