[Sith War 2003] Woodn't You Know It?
Rainbow Heron
<cue really long setting explanation:>
"RASSM is changing. I feel it in the ground. I hear it in the water. I
smell it in the air...no something's just burning again. What once was
is no more for none survive who wish to remem-"
"WAITRESS!!!!!!!"
"COMING!"
After a nice long and generous stay with the Porkinites, Alice and the
Pokemon had decided to finally stick it out on their own on RASSM
Planet. Using what was left of the raided til from that N'SYNC
concert, they built a Bar & Grill in the forest on the outskirts of
RASSM City- about halfway between the Hall of Ham and where the
Shaven Wookie Snowfortress had been.
Alice called it the Bar & Grill cuz she got tired of getting strange
requests when it was known as the "resturant". She never could stand
that song anyway, and the Jigglypuffs didn't like being upstaged by
patrons who decided to haul the karaoke machine out from its
designated sound-proof room and onto the 'Puffs stage. As a result,
the name of the hash house changed to "Alice's Bar & Grill" and the
karaoke machine was nailed into the floor.
The Bar & Grill was a nice place for its neck of the woods- literally.
Each faction could have their own designated area to sit in as to
avoid conflict if desired. PeterPika and Hot ROddish's cooking was the
talk of the area and so far no one had even gotten sick yet. (Also the
following are officially OFF of the menu: Ewok, Gungan, Jawa, and
Pokemon. Have one of Alice's many new home-brews instead, eh?) The
alcoholic drinks were served in the karaoke room as to not have the
drunken hoards disturb everyone else: as a result, two more of them
were being built.
And despite being a bit remote- there was PLENTY of help! Darth Gumby
and Drunken Elmo often came by on weekends to make a few bucks and
Alice had rigged the Pokeballs and transporter so she could have an
almost unlimited amount of them out at once. It was usual to have
about 20 or so come and go from the trunk of the Jump-DMC daily, so
Ianpuff made them sign-in.
Wiggly-tough continued to hold the fort at the ranch back home cuz
rumor had it that ghost Pokemon were on the loose, a rumor confirmed
when a Ghastly slipped thru the trunk unnoticed until it scared the
shit out of some poor Gungan in the bathroom. A picture of the
Gungan's reaction hung proudly over the bathroom door.
Alice had also the sandcrawler which had been outfitted with weapons,
a couple of sleeping quarters, a herb garden, and a kitchen for those
rare catering occaisions. And everyday, a few Porkinites would stop by
to pick up the leftover food from the day after the two head chefs
(PeterPika and Hot ROddish) retired to the gardens to make sure there
was enough for tomorrow.
<cue emotional status:>
Everything had been going great for the past 3 months or so out there
in the woods when all of a sudden, Alice noticed a change in the
patrons and a change in RASSM itself. Something was brewing and it
wasn't the strawberry-kiwi smoothies that Ditto had decided to make
either- another Sith War was on the horizon.
Alice put her long blonde wig back on and went back to her bartender
shift. Every day, she was getting more info in RASSM in the form of
gossip (altho she didn't share it) than Seanpuff was getting on the
internet! "What gives?" She wondered. It wasn't like the infamous
Balance Point Thread was gonna make a comeback or anything...or worse-
Hacker. Alice and the Pokemon had taken up one Porkinite tradition in
their time with them: they no longer spoke the name "The Jedi Hacker".
Instead, they called him "Ted Stryker". If nothing else, Alice stopped
cringing and dropping the trays.
Good thing the Chanceys were always there to help with the
waitressing. She would've kept the Clefairy inside if it weren't for
the bitter rivalry between them and the Jigglypuffs. Instead, they
stayed outside as part of the security force. Seanpuff tried to have
the least contact with them as possible while still being able to do
his job.
And speaking of Clefairy- they'd taken up archery for some weird
reason lately. They were pretty damn good too.
But aside from the troublesome gossip, the leftover egg salad (she
hoped the Porkinites loved egg salad cuz they were sure gonna get some
tonight), the itchy blonde wig, the latest squabble between the
Gungans and the wayward Muk, the daily "there's a leaf in my soup!"
complaint, and this sense of impending Sith War, there was something
else bothering Alice:
Why the hell was it mostly the *PINK* Pokemon who were coming to
work?! Jigglypuffs onstage and on the books, Chansey taking orders,
Clefairy and Exeggcute on patrol, Lickitung up front, and Ditto in the
kichten...
At least there hadn't been any complaints about *that*...yet.
<cue recent events:>
Then one day, Alice got an answer for at least one of the problems:
McEwok showed up at the B&G one day and asked Alice to join him at a
council meeting as a representative. Of what and for what, she didn't
know, but she imported several extra Pokemon to the Bar & Grill and
left Jedichu in charge until she got back.
Alice, Seanpuff, Ianpuff, Hamillpuff, Ewanpuff, Hot ROddish and
PeterPika all piled into the Jump-DMC, picked up Darth Gumby, and
headed towards a planet called Middle Earth -all as indicated by
McEwok's invitation- for this council meeting.
Much to the 'Puffs chagrin, 4 Clefairy joined them as well.
Thankfully the only complaint was in the form of a virtual irony in
that they'd all packed into the Jump-DMC for a long trip, were
restuarant owners and a Porkinite, and all of them had failed to bring
something to eat for the trip...
============
SUMMARY:
-Alice et al have moved out of the Hall of Ham and set up a Bar &
Grill at the edge of the RASSM woods (use as Galadriel's woods if you
will)
-Alice gets invitation from McEwok to go to Middle Earth. Darth
Gumby's with us
-Jigglypuffs and Clefairy don't get along and 4 Clefairy have come
with us
-we forgot to pack something to eat
============
This would all be just before "Och, Aye!" of course. And you can go to
pokemon.com if you're confused about any of the pink Pokemon. I really
don't know why I chose pink.

If it literally scared the shit out of him I hope it's hanging close to a stall.

Shellless? I'm on it.
It is the color of bubble gum. *drools*

I have to be honest. I have a hard time following your posts.
Traditionally each Sith War character gets only one side kick. It is really
too much of a pain to follow these complex stories with so many characters.
I have the same problem with Policrat' I just read his summaries.

Yes we do have to keep him away from the bar. Ewanpuff's actually
tried slipping him some *non*-alcoholic stuff. He's a messed-up 'Puff,
but he certainly cares.

That explains the hospital braclet he's always wearing.

I have a hard time following *any* of the Sith Wars prior to when I
joined. That's why I've never been able to finish reading the
archives. :-P
>Traditionally each Sith War character gets only one side kick.
Think of them as a one group entity then or different aspects of one
personality or different crewmates on a ship. For writing purposes,
you'd get the following break-down if the group were one person:
Seanpuff- spy & boss
Ianpuff- brain & business
Hamillpuff- practical joker and morale
Ewanpuff- wild side
Hot ROddish- home economics & handyman
PeterPika- the child inside/innocence
Jedichu- common sense & teacher
You haven't met Wiggly-tough yet but she's mother & muscle.
Use them by situation. If there's something technical going on, have
Hot ROddish do something. If you need some food or someoen to squeeze
into a small place, have PeterPika cook up something. If someone makes
a wisecrack, choose either Hamillpuff or Ewanpuff altho Ewanpuff is
the more outrageous. If you need to gather info on your enemy, have
Seanpuff do it. Need some stability, get Ianpuff or Jedichu...stuff
like that.
That help some?
>It is really too much of a pain to follow these complex stories with

Some could say the same about Tolkein. ;-) I was actually aiming for
that hard-to-folow bit in this post as a semi-parody.
But really it's just the 6 you have to worry about as everyone else
was left at the B&G, and the Clefairy are just there to piss off the
Jigglypuffs and shoot off arrows (use it!).
>I have the same problem with Policrat' I just read his summaries.
I'm sorry you're missing out Muuurgh. Should I write better summaries
so you can follow along more easily?

Maybe it's because I'm such a detail freak.

Traditionally? Since... uh, when?

RH indeed has more than her share of sidekicks, but that's a minor
complaint. This particular episode wasn't hard to follow, but what a
snoozer. As for Pol', his last episide was definately hard to follow.
And a clear attempt at overreach to boot, claiming a plot that couldn't
be foiled.

Why? Maybe I need to make my posts clearer, though - what exactly is your
problem with them - too many characters in any one scene, or two many scenes
in any one post?
