Aedile’s Report #4

Page Meridian sounding off…

Page’s Pub

“Piece of….” Page mumbled as he struggled with the key card to the pub. “That’s it!” The Aedile quickly drew his lightsaber and melted a small portion of the locking system away causing the door to swing open freely. “Ahhh! That’s more like it!”

As Page stepped through the door, he noticed a loud beeping noise coming from the street. “Hmm, that’s strange. What would a moving van be doing at my place? It must be for the Wookie body hair salon next door.” Page watched as a burly man maneuvered a pallet jack inside the back of the large box van. On the jack sat an enormous wooden crate. Pulling up his falling slacks, the man yelled out: “Page Meridian?” A little shocked, the Aedile replied “That’s me! Is it Palpatine’s Birthday already?” The man looked a little confused as he meandered over in Page’s direction. “What’s this all about?” Page inquired. “I just deliver ‘em sir. Sign here please.” Page yanked a plume from the wrinkled shirt collar of the delivery man through the air. “Thank you” Page said with a mischievous grin. Page signed the delivery slip and watched the man move the crate out of the truck with the grace of a bantha. The driver stopped at the stoop of the pub and lowered the jack. “Alright hot shot, this is as far as it goes with me. Have fun getting it through that wee door. Muahahaha!” Page’s mischievous grin turned to a salty frown as he began opening the large crate.

“Need some help there boss?” Page turned to see Dimitri Oberyst strolling down the street eating a basket of Alderaanean-style fried frog legs. Wiping the sweat from his brow Page smiled “I’m glad you showed up a few minutes early my friend.” The two Jedi worked at the crate until the four sides fell to the ground, coupled with about two-hundred pounds of foam peanuts. Inside the crate stood a significantly smaller cardboard box with the logo: “Mos Eisley Gaming Systems”. Attached to the top of the box was a small card with Page’s name on it. The Aedile quickly opened the card and read it.

“DEAREST PAGE,

I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR GIFT! I FLEW ALL THE WAY

TO TATOOINE FOR IT. EVERYONE LIKES PINBALL!

REGARDS,

TK-7764”

Dimitri jumped with joy over the new acquisition of the pub. Page smiled quite large as well. “Lets get it inside before the others get here!” Page nodded and the two walked the large box inside, barely clearing the door width of the pub. Once inside, Page and Dimitri were delighted once again to see that the new gaming machine had a large picture of the second Death Star being built on the top, followed by Star Destroyers, and Troopers, and Shuttles, and even a few Jedi inside. The rebellion was being crushed! It was quite beautiful. “Go ahead Dimitri, I’m going to set up a few drinks. You give it a try.” Dimitri moved to insert a few credits to play pinball. Page set up a couple glasses for the Imperial Bourbon and began to make Dalthid’s White Rodian. Muttering to himself “I guess I’ll just wait for the rest to get here for their drink requests.”

Quulaar

(CUSWE: these huge, woven sacks are used by Wookiees to raise and lower visitors to their villages. The Wookiees usually carry the quulaars, but they can also be attached to ropes. The term quulaar literally translates to 'baby sack,' and refers to the fact that the sacks were originally created to transport infant Wookiees.)

Falling off of the wagon…

Page stops staring at the new pinball machine and takes a drink Well, another week down and the activity seems to have picked up slightly. A special thanks to our beloved TK-7764 for his marvelous donation of a new pinball machine for the pub. The place is starting to have a homey (not homely) feel to it! A huge congratulations is in order for our former AoD TET: Tronsta. If you’ve been living in a cave for the past week, he has been named the new Krath High Priest! We’re sad to see him go, but happy to see him advance. I’m sure the Order is in very capable hands with the dear Tronsta. Stop back often brother and say hello! Page is now two-fisting it to make up for lost time

Multiple trips to the rest room…

Good work to all of those competing in the MML II and MSC III. I’ve seen some good posts in the combat chambers so far. I’ve decided to keep the work load down as far as my own competitions are concerned, so there will be only Round 4 of the Warning Labels from me this week. Next week there will be something new announced at the close of the Warning Labels competition. My apologies for the lack of effort on my own part as far as the monthly run-on goes. I was under the impression that Shups was handling it personally, and felt it was too late when I realized my error. I’m going to be working as soon as possible with our dear QUA to find a system for the monthly stuff that will be a constant. Legs moving back and forth and holding self Please check in with the message board for new posts or competitions starting up. I also started a new thread last week for you to post your own competition ideas.

Bladder of an infant…

Page downs a whole salt shaker to help retain water I’m still noticing that the majority of you all are NOT checking in weekly with you TET’s as they’ve requested. I don’t know what else to say other than: PLEASE DO IT! Also, keep your eye on the requirements for your next rank elevation. You can see the exact guideline on the Aleema message board so you know exactly where you stand. Maybe you’ve already fulfilled the requirement! Let your TET’s know your status regularly.

Tylenol…

Communication seems to be a little weak as of late. Let’s all try to jump on IRC a few times per week to say hi to at least our fellow clan members. How many people in Galthain and Kirleta do each of you know? This brings me to a good idea that was brought up to me by DJK Talon Jade over in Galthain. Talon and Pyralis, myself, and hopefully some folks from Kirleta are trying to develop some interesting Clan activities. We want to run some competitions with three-person teams, containing one member from each order in CSK. We want to pump up Clan spirit a few hundred notches! Keep your eyes open for anything over the mail relating to this in the future. Consider this a small “heads up”. As always, contact your TET, myself, or Shups immediately should you have any questions/comments/snide remarks. We’ll take care of you!

Thanks for lending an ear and a quill…
