>>18881838SHEE6 approaches the Bubblegum Crisis and takes one of the drinks, and Valari grabs another, examining it quizzically.
Valari:
>"How..... odd. There appear to be piece of ice floating in our drinks. Shall we scoop them out first?"SHEE6 raises her beverage and her voice for a resounding speech.
SHEE6:
>"Good Valari, sisters of the rainbow, mine friends. Let the ice chill your drinks, but let not actions of brawlers and brigands chill your hearts! We came here to dance, dance I did, and dance we shall again! There is an eternal question which we all must face: it is better to take that which brings you joy and hold it close, away from the harsh and uncaring light of the blazing sun, to keep it unchanging and eternal within your grasp, or to bring it forth boldly and expose it to the elements, where the same water and light that bring rot and decay also cause growth to flourish? Can we truly know joy in the absence of tedium, safety in the absence of risk, or love in the absence of apathy? Would the myriad colors that adorn your ostentatious clothing like the inner works of a kaleidoscope be vibrant and beautiful if not for the dull grays and browns of the workaday world which we all face?">"The answer could be maybe. But come what may, know that I, the momentarily inconvenienced wrestling knight SHEE6, have come here tonight to drink mine fill and dance mine ass off, and whilst mine belly remains unfull and mine ass remains affixed below mine back, mine purpose is unfulfilled! And in the times between, gladly shall I drink to your health, mine companions and friends!" SHEE6 clinks her glass against those of the others and takes a hearty pull from her beverage, then plonks it down on the top of the bar.
Valari remains transfixed for a moment, as if trying to understand where SHEE6 was going with that, but then gives up and turns to the Indistinct Bubblegum sister.
Valari:
>"What is this upcoming big show that you speak of?"
