It's
TEA TIME in L.A. ... when a transient interdimensional portal
materializes on the beach
|
SANTA MONICA BEACH : TRANSIENT
INTERDIMENSIONAL PORTAL (TIP) LOUNGE - TEA TIME
(7-8PM BRONZE)
Posted by: ThePowersThatTea - Apr 09, 2002, 7:00
PM
4:00 PM L.A. ... the Midnight
hour in London ... 9:00 AM Sydney
With strange
new magic ... mixing screenplay with
haiku ... F.P. casts a spell
...
#15TIPREF_SMTIP040902TT
SUDDENLY,
IT'S HERE ...where, pre-Drac, the
Scoobies snacked....
AN ALL-GLASS
STRUCTURE.
A ROOM WITH ALL VIEWS ... Of
course, to the west ...
PACIFIC
OCEAN.
A half-mile away ... some
Hasselhoff-glorified sand ... is less welcoming
...
... but friendly sand's here ... and
(this is far more important) ...
here is the
Portal.
A surprised
DOGMEAT ... and then, a shocked
S.M.G. ... pop out of thin air.
A
portal error? ... Duckwheat uses the
moment ... to ask her for help ...
posting
the Bronze rules. / S.M.G. smiles, but declines. /
To escape "the scene," ...
they sing their
own lines ... to "Going Through The Motions" ...
F.P. wrote for them.
POOF they are both
gone / The all-glass TIP LOUNGE remains.
...
People have
gathered.
The Powers That
Tea .... annointed the Oracle. ...
Selected this spot.
As old timers know
... the Lounge is not the Portal
...
BUT: ONE WALL
SHIMMERS.
There is a theory ... that
somehow, that's the Portal ...
but
how does it work?
No Tea Time guests
know ... but, in time, some may find
out ...
THE ORACLE
SAYS:
This oracle's blind ... to any
posts not in verse.
TEA TIME ends at
Eight.
STILL FLOATING IN
AIR ...
THERE'S THE CRUCIAL TIP
CORKBOARD.
BE SURE YOU'VE READ IT.

And she took him on

(1) Glow is sleep
deprived.
Her brown dog barked all
morning.
Thus, she is cranky.
(2) Right
now glow prefers
to converse in prose, not
verse.
But she will abide
(3) by the Tea
Time rules
until the hour is done.
She
waits patiently. (smile)

My magic six
string
Fender will strum the chords
for
accompaniment.
( To the tune of Going
Through the Motions)
Every Tuesday eve I tune in
Buffy
Imagination takes a flight.
I even get a
dose of needed Spuffy
Whether it is wrong : whether
it is right
Things aren't going well, kinda tough
to sell,
The Scoobies are in hell.
And that's
why this is so painful
For all of us to
watch.
Lowering their sights by half a
notch.
All the fans believe it should be
Angel
Maybe Spike or just Riley.
Can't believe it
could be someone strange, well
What will make them
see, what will be will be
... Beg on bended
knee.
Should the story turn and they to
learn
The Scoobies wouldn't burn.
Yes, this is
so very painful. When will it all end?
Really,
they're in need of a good friend.
We've been
watching them forever
Attempt to get their lives
together
In this world and not the nether.
Why
can't they just see...
God, how this is painful
for all of us to watch.
How they make us bleed, we
have to be freed.
Bartend, I think I need a
scotch.
