that Redfeline trailer you've posted on Julie's Late-Night Cinema looks like another glimpse of IMF at work​
perhaps we could have a showing in he Coffee Shop -​
so customers know where their grindslave's gone? ;)​

I don't think we have any RedFeline trailers or films on our computer. Which cinema is it?
 
I'd love to have a "Coffee Shop". I'd be in the chatroom if one was available. Chatropolis.com is too big for my tastes. They do have nice private quiet chat rooms, one talking to another. I like the Chatropolis feature called "Whisper", it's private chat between the two parties, nobody else in the chatroom enters the conversation.
Please, start a chatroom here!

So the story really begins. Let me know if I should leave it in the coffee shop or continue on a dedicated thread....

It was a nice day for late November. I usually don’t do bounty jobs but this one was paying a substantial amount if completed before a strict deadline. I was luck to have logged into the bounty website when I did or Bob’s Bail and Bounty would have gotten here first. Whether they liked it or not they knew I was giving them, even Eulalia, the best bargain they were going get.

My cigar was almost and my coffee was when Julie came out of the coffee shop carrying a hot ‘go’ cup. She was wearing a short silk robe and wedge sandals and I doubt much else. I thanked her and reached into my pocket for my flask. She said softly “Unless you have a cast iron gut I think there’s enough in there.”

I took a sip and felt the warmth of the coffee and the burn of the whiskey. Yeah, that’s just about right. Julie looked across the street at Bob’s van and the six thugs leaning against it. She whispered “I think Melissa is going to give her up. It will be only a few more minutes.”

I took a drag on the cigar and looked at the stub glowing in my hand. Without looking at Julie I said “That’s about all the time you have. Professional courtesy says they wait thirty minutes after they get here. After that they’ll inform me I didn’t come with adequate resources to take the mark. Get in there and try to speed things up. Oh… and thanks for the coffee. Its like I mixed it myself.”

I leaned against the pole hoping things would go right. Sure I had a Glock 9 in my belt but even if I weren’t outgunned I wouldn’t stop them after the 30 minutes were up. I took another sip as the last few minutes slipped by. I stared at Bob’s van. He was smiling as he opened the door. As he stepped out he laughed “Well, Tree, you’re the last guy I thought could be bribed by a bit of tush.”

Behind me I heard a door open. Eulalia called out “I am the fugitive Eulalia. I am bound with handcuffs marked ‘THT’ and am surrendering to that officer of the court.”

I adjusted my hat and smiled back at Bob. “I appreciate your professional courtesy…”

You should consider two things
(1) Will the trial and punishment take place in or outside the coffee shop
or will she be taken to another site.
(2) This is a very popular thread it would be a shame to have a good stand alone story get buried.
Perhaps a link.....Eulalia Captured at the Coffee Shop
 
While not worried about getting 'buried' in the coffee shop thread I have noted that events in this forum can happen in a sort of parallel universe. So I do believe I will repost the story opening and subsequent installments on in a separate thread. As for Bozzly's question about a trail and punishment, what trial???? We don't need no stinking trial!!!!!!!!

There is the PM system. This could use some enhancements around "refresh" in order to get it into a "instant messaging system", but I am not sure if a chat room really is adding value.
Am I missing something?

Mmm, are you sure that "prallel universe" wouldn't hijack a new thread as well?
Ok a story sure is best put into it's own thread, but if you do want it "clean" at the end, a pdf probably is the way to go!

I think the best way is to give it a new thread,​
that allows people to comment, and maybe even wander off with it for a bit​
but you can always bring them back when you post the next bit.​
​
Then, when it's finished, it can be made into a pdf​
and stored for posterity on the Archive -​
and a little bird tells me someone in the Netherlands might already be making a pdf, bless him :) !​

as warm up a Eulalia Christa draft pic about her scourging by the Romans View attachment 19402

Great picture Hansi, thanks, I love it :)​
but in the story, Barbara and I are chained up for our Scourging​
shackled together, either side of the Whipping Post:​
​
"Come to the Whipping Post!" Aemilanus shouted. I froze momentarily in horror when I turned and saw the Scourge in his hand, its long, black tentacles seeming to squirm alive in the flickering light. The soldiers pushed us both to stand, facing each other with the stake between our bodies. We were shackled with our wrists joined through the ring high on the post, and our ankles joined by chains crossing at its foot. I was on tiptoe, Barbara being a bit taller had her heels just touching the brick base. We'd be able to move about, swinging and kicking, but each sharp move by one would tug and hurt the other."

I don't think you missed anything. I don't see the point of a private chatroom..this is a forum after all. The one thing missing from the PM system is the ability to add attachments.

I guess what Subhunt has in mind is a "realtime" chatroom where people online at the same time can fire instant messages to each other nonstop, but the sort of quick-fire exchanges Julia, Hans, Fantasmo and others get into seem to this girl to be just as much fun - and we can all share them!
