Cyclopsified... is that a word?
<congrats to all you longwoods winners>
<continued from the last post involving Jack and Melissa
"you know, i remember a really nice place on Mars... its a long way,
but its worth it." Jack said. "plus, theres a cool club near it
too." he added, holding his arm out to Melissa.
"ok." Melissa said, and took hold of Jacks arm. They walked to the
planet transport, and got a ride to Mars.
"Yeah, please, a malibu and coke please" said Melissa as she and
jack wondered up to the bar
Drinks were ordered, Jack went straight in with a double
whiskey. "you eating?" asked a barman.
"yeah, cheers" replied Jack, picking up a menu, and passing it to
Melissa.
"Ooooh, it all looks lovely, what're you having?" she asked, looking
through the list of food.
"i'll have my usual... the Meat overload." he said, pointing it
out. Melissa looked at it, and it consisted entirely of meat...
almost every edible animal on one plate.
"i used to come here quite alot." he added, "i doubt the same guy
runs it now."
"I'll have the macaroni" said melissa
After they had ordered, Jack turned to her. "I'll b back in a
minute" he said, and walked next door, to the jewellers.
"hey, you got anything to do with cats?" he asked.
"sorry man, only got one left, they're popular." the shopkeeper
said, pointing out a necklace with a diamond in it, shaped like a
cats head.
"how much?" Jack asked, pulling out his normal credit card.
"1599.99" said the Jeweller
"smeg..." Jack thought to himself. "i'll have to crack into the
savings..." he said, placing his normal card back in, and opening a
secret section in his wallet, removing a credit card. "do it" he
said, handing it over.
After taking the necklace from the shop, he returned to Melissa, The
food had only just been delivered to them. "sorry about that, i had
to sort something out." he said, sitting down.
"You did say your birthday was tomorrow didnt you?" jack randomly
dropped into the conversation 20 minutes later.
"yes, why you ask?" Melissa said, looking up at him.
"oh, no reason." Jack said, "just making sure"
"Really" she said, noticing the gilnt in his eye.
"yeah, really." he said, keeping a surprisingly straight face. He
ordered another drink for the both of them.
{later}
Jack and Melissa left the restaurant, Jack was rather drunk, and
Melissa, sticking to the lower alcohol drinks, was only tipsy.
"you wanna go to a club?" Jack slurred, and bumped into a large
man. "sorry." he said, trying to go round him, but the large man
sidestepped to stay in the way.
"you know the drill." the large man said, pulling a knife from his
jacket.
"oh come on..." Jack said, drawing his sword.
"bloody hell!" exclaimed the mugger, as Jack bounced backwards, and
charged.
Unfortunately for Jack, he'd had too much to drink, and mis-timed
his attack slightly... The mugger swung his knife towards Jack as he
jumped, Melissa could only stand by and watch as the knife tore
through the side of Jacks face, and Jacks gunblade tore through the
muggers chest.
"NOOO!!" she screamed, as both men fell to the floor, Jack coughed
as he lay there, and tried to get up, blood poured from the
wound. "Damn that hurts!" he said, the pain turning on his Nano's as
well, transmitting his message to everyone that had them.
As Jack began to rise form the ground, he coughed again, sighed
deeply and fell back to the ground.
"SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE!" Melissa yelled, almost in tears as she
dropped to her knees, and attempted to wake him up, a pool of blood
appearing at his head.
<this will be continued another day, and i'm not surprised i didn't
