Tomorrow is my last day at the Mercury, and as such we’ll be having the traditional Mercury Viking Send Off at Club 21 [2035 NE Glisan] (in which my fellows get me drunk and then shoot flaming arrows* at my cab as it leaves to take me home). Sound like fun? Want to join in? Good! Consider yourself invited.
Come on down around 5-ish. We’ll cry, laugh, hug, shake-hands, drink, maybe wrestle a little… Who the fuck knows? In the end, all I want to do is say goodbye to you in the best way I know how—with a slurred whisper in your ear while I grapple your shoulder in a too-intimate fashion as I try not to fall over.
See you then.
*Please do not bring flaming arrows. You will probably be arrested.
Can I bring regular arrows?
Can Joneser bring regular arrows?
No
Can I bring magic arrows?
I’m going to bring some arrows.
This sucks! I’m not going.
Crossbow, red gasoline can, matches, viking hat, am I missing anything?
If Erik’s bringing arrows then I’m going to bring arrows too.
Can PAC show me his meat arrow? Please say yes
I won’t light anything on fire, but I’ll find something in Brooklyn already ablaze and stare at it for a while in your honor.
Well, fuck it. I wasn’t going to do this, but now I’ll have to bring my Bulwark of the Great Dragon. Which, by the way, is a +6 Heavy Shield that can belch fucking fire three times a day and deal 20d6 points of damage! So there.

Buy me a drink. You never know.
Well…then I will bring my dice. They are made of elven blood and Rivendell magic.
And shame.
I can’t make it PAC, but I have enjoyed reading your reviews. I did meet you once last Thanksgiving, but just briefly. Wish you well in your future endeavors. Watch out for Joneser, I think she means it.
I’ll be the one that looks like WSH, only much better looking and w/o the Justin Bieber t-shirt on

Ooo la la. It’s my fantasy!
Aw, man, can’t make it, I’ll be at work. How about a post Mercury Viking Send Off… Thursday, Ten-01 happy hour?
I’ll probably be there (unless I feel sicker than I do right now), and I’ll be sure to bring a copy of my favorite Blackalicious jimmity jeromity grape jelly jam:

I’ll be a little late. I have to stop off to buy arrows.
