RE: Not so Grand Reopening - Jameris - 01-19-2024
Wanders in shouting over his shoulder to look more important than he is, "and here's the kicker....those were the droids they were looking for!"
Looks into the mostly empty diner.
"Oh, I think I told you that one before."
Takes a drag of his pipe and waves as the door swishes open and closed behind him.

*Catching Ceel and Danster completely off guard, their first customer in ages entered the diner. In response, Ceel reached beneath the bar, not for his shotgun, but to press a very special button*
*Music began to play, a banner lowered from the ceiling, and was followed by roughly 1,000 pounds of confetti to congratulate their 1 millionth customer. Of course customer 999,999 had come more than a decade ago. Better late than never.*
"Come in, come in."
*The gungan slid a complimentary, watered down, scotch down the bar.*

Even buried deep beneath the confetti Jameris heard the sound of glass sliding across the polished counter followed by a slight pause and then the sound of shatter.
"I hope that wasn't expensive."
He emerged and dusted off some of the tinsel and colored paper streamers then swatted at a few patches of glitter embedding it deeper into his cloak.
"This suit however..." he chuckled.

*Seeing the customer, Danster started to frantically sweep empty bottles below the bar and out of sight. He then whispered to the droid.*
"Get that stuff into garbage disposal, but do it discreetly."
RE: Not so Grand Reopening - Jameris - 01-19-2024
"Don't make a fuss on account of me Danster ole buddy."
Jameris held his hand up and the service droid jumped as it scuttled by him for a high-five, they were an excitable bunch.
"Oh and thanks for letting me borrow scuna bongo, what was that, 15 years ago. You got it back right?"

"That was you? Try as I might I've not been able to buff out those scratches. And I wouldn't mind my seeing my limited edition purple fluffy dice again if you have them. Cockpit hasn't felt the same since."
RE: Not so Grand Reopening - General Ceel - 01-20-2024
*The excitement of finally having a real, honest to goodness, customer wore off after about 15 seconds. 15 seconds after that the droids had successfully cleaned up the mess, and the entire diner went silent.*
*The three of them retreated to a table at the center of the room to talk between interruptions from the droid that refilled their classes promptly, just as soon as they had been emptied.*
"Well then...."
RE: Not so Grand Reopening - Danster - 01-21-2024
"What's been happening with you guys these past 15 years?"
RE: Not so Grand Reopening - General Ceel - 01-25-2024
"Well, I was asleep over in the corner booth for most of the last 15 years, and dreaming beautifully until you woke my green ass up."
*The scotch was clearly loosening General Ceel's tongue at this point*

"Consider the dice repayment for these....glitter stains," Jameris thew back his head and cackled.
Grin wide upon his face.
"Aaaah, so those were dice."
