A Glimpse Into The CPF Lounge. Part 7

Day 993, 09:21 Published in Canada Canada by Devilcarrier

It's morning and Devilcarrier is enjoying a cup of coffee with Aeriala. There are only a few people in the "drop in and have a pint" lounge. In fact, they are left alone when Wes_Lewis and Lincoln 6 Echo stumble out of the door together, Wes laughing as Lincoln loudly tries to use the four-letter-friend-getter in every form he can.

"I wonder if supabeasty knows his new spouse is out," the perky powerpuff look-alike giggles.

"Heh, the lounge is getting very popular. You never know who you might meet here nowadays."

"I hope that doesn't bother you, Devilcarrier? You don't mind if the party isn't elitest do you?

"Not in the least. I support the way you are working to include all eCanadians in our party. On the other hand, I also support a continued emphasis on excellence."

"Well, here is a regular visitor back again," Aeriala murmurs.

Peering into the dimly lit interior of the lounge, Captain Kushskins, his dark hair tousled and his hands in his pockets, surveys the room.

Soon, Devilcarrier's brooding writer friend has brought a cup of steaming coffee over to join the two.

"Bienvenue Kushskins," says Devilcarrier.

"Yes, Bienvenue," says Aeriala, "that means welcome doesn't it?"

Kushskins nods at her and smiles. "Merci," he says.

"I see you take your coffee black," Aeriala says. "I like mine with lots of sugar."

"Maybe that's what makes you so sweet," Kushskins says, casting his eyes shyly down after speaking.

"I've just remembered," says Devilcarrier. &quot😉id you see the new notice on the IRC board?"

"What does it say," Aeriala inquired, taking her eyes away from Kushkins' face."

"Um... let me remember exactly. Hey, I'll be right back. I'll check it in the hall."

When Devilcarrier returns, he notices that Aeriala's hand is resting on top of Kushskins' hand. He says, "The exact wording is: Welcome to the CPF. Our temporary forums can be found at http://www.praetorhq.forumotion.ca/"

"Temporary? Does that mean no more lounge in the future?" asked Kushskins with raised eyebrows. "I thought these were the new permanent forums of the CPF.

"Jbdivinus said something about us getting better forums," says Aeriala.

"Oh," says Kushskins, "Jbdivinus."
