Welcome to Paradise Club, sit back and relax with a drink while you look out at the stunning view of the snow-capped mountains to the North or the beautiful beach and still, blue ocean to the South. We have everything you could ever want or need including an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, hottub and tennis courts. If you feel the need to burn something (Glupey, Jap and Chicken!) just make sure it's outside! Have fun!

A new beauty salon has now been added onto to the side of the club

we're currently looking for staff, if you would like to apply TG either me or Cuneo Island and we'll get back to you

Hi there, Tink! I'm very happy to see a new club in town. I think it will be a big hit. Congratulations!

YAY TINK STARTED THE CLUB!!!! But the forums are so slow. :(

Hola!

hey. new place. very nice Tink.

And the forums are working very nicely now that all the english people have gone to bed.

*lights a match and throws it in alcoholic drink*

MMMM this will taste good.

*water pours from the ceiling onto Japaica, drenching him and putting out the fire*

Hi guys...

Vex! Nice to see ya again. How's things?

Mmmm...great place you started here Tink...really like the decor

Anyone join me in a drink? *finds chilled bottle of unwooded Chardonnay and half fills glass. Tops it up with soda water and a bit of ice*

Cheers! Here's to the Paradise Club and all who drink in it!

Hi there Prue! Nothing I would enjoy more right now than having a drink with you...to celebrate the opening of Tink's lovely new club, of course! Cheers!

heheheh! Just like old times :)

this server could do with a bit of oiling though...also just like old times ;)

er...sorry about that...i was logged on as Dezzan but came up as Melody.

oh well, it's all the same :D

obviously haven't quite got the hang of this yet

ok...let's try this...

yay!!! did it :D

*scratches his head in confusion...*

*looks contrite*

sorry Vex...screwed up a bit there

*falls from ceiling*

LANG!!! Hiya...what're ya drinking?

Not to worry, Prue...I wasn't as confused as I let on...;)

Hey Lang! How you doing, buddy?

I haven't been drinkin anything, Prue. Honest!

*eye twitch*

Been doing good, Vex. You?

Doing OK, thanks. Enjoying my summer on the lake. How's little sis doing?

She's doing good. Been fishing with me and stuff.

i was asking you what you wanted to drink Lang :D

Oh okie. Nah, I don't need anything.

*looks contrite*

sorry Vex...screwed up a bit there

Looks like your secret is out now.

Very good. How's the fishing been? It's been really good here. The bass have been jumping in the boat...

sounds as if Word Games is a bit frustrated cos he can't get on - hasn't got his e-mail from Jolt yet.

seems to be working a little better now. It's great to be back here with you!

anyways guys...it's 3am and i need to sleep. See ya later

*Prue waves and walks out*

*Prue looks over her shoulder*

thought Bass was beer ;)

g'night

Night, Prue!

Fishin's great. The fish just ram into the boat so you can just catch em with your net. Especially the catfish. We got a bunch of that in the freezer right now.

Nighters, Prue...

Yum, nothing like a big mess of fried catfish!

Did everyone leave?

Yum, nothing like a big mess of fried catfish!Aye. And catfish gumbo.

Did everyone leave?Nooooooope.

Aye. And catfish gumbo.
With fried potatos, hush puppies and cole slaw...oh man, my mouth is watering.

With fried potatos, hush puppies and cole slaw...oh man, my mouth is watering.Ditto. And hot sauce.

Hola Lang and Vex.

Hey Vex, why don't you move to paradise beach? You'll fit right in.

Thanks for the invite, Jap. If I were on my own, I would in a second.

Thanks for the invite, Jap. If I were on my own, I would in a second.

What do you mean if you were on your own? I'm talking about our region.

Oh, I know what you mean. I'm in a two nation region. And we kind of like being alone. That's all.

ello all.

Hey DF, how goes it?

im good. how bout you?

I'm doing OK, thanks. Just about to call it an evening. Don't let the bedbugs bite...

Hey Tink, nice place you have here. This is my first post on the new forum, and my first post ever with this nation!

hi Chicken

Why under my name does it say: Posts: n/a

hey chicken, Tink. how goes it?

hi guys

Hey DF and MPTY. It goes good. How are you guys?

im doing alright. you?

hey everyone

I'm fine...just amazed at how well the server is working - couldn't get on earlier this evening at all!

ya, the server is still a litle bit tempermental. they keep saying it'l get better though.

I could be better.

<---says I'm a guest and my post count is n/a.

Why are all these forum problems happening to me?!?

I hope it improves - with the old server i could get on the forums in the evening...sometimes :)

It's 1.30 am...to get to the Jolt Ball i'm having to stay up late and then sleep in next day :D

The things i do for NS!

I could be better.

<---says I'm a guest and my post count is n/a.

Why are all these forum problems happening to me?!?

You *are* having a lot of probs and that's really unfortunate...

it isn't just you though cos someone at Jolt Ball is also registered as a guest...and there are two of Dezzan's partners who can't get on the forums at the mo.

It may sort itself out cos i was 'invisible' for a day - and then suddenly it started registering me as online.

When I was on earlier, I was 'invisible'.

*The sound of a motorbike pulling up outside can be heard. Prue walks in, taking off her helmet and shaking her hair loose*

I need a shower and then a drink...there *must* be showers in this place...

*Prue goes out the door in the back corner, up the stairs and finds the showers - soon there is masses of steam and hot water and a pleasantly soapy perfume emanating from the shower.

*Prue starts singing...*

Who's killing the cat?

J/K. Very nice singing.

*Prue appears with wet hair and a red face*

Oh hi Chicken...i've just been telling you at the Jolt Ball that i'm Melody :)

*Prue appears with wet hair and a red face from the shower*

Oh hi Chicken...i've just been telling you at the Jolt Ball that i'm Melody :)

I know you're Melody...you're one of her many personalites. ;)

Nooooooo...Prue came first and Melody is a puppet of Dezzan's.

Dezzan is my main nation. Prue can also be found in 3 other regions :D

Oh, well, glad to see that you have more multiple personalities than I thought. ;)

Yeah...i have about 14 :D

It gets a bit confusing and i've sent one to the temple of tombs until it fades away. Might do that with some of the others cos it takes ages just to check up on all of them

what happened to the psychotic chickens and King Me?

14!?! That's insane!

-King Me- is in another region, and I'm letting Psychotic Chickenss die.

It's insane?

Not really...Dezzan was on its own for ages...but people wanted Prue in their region so i made two other nations for Prue. My sister gave me a nation in her region - and another 2 puppets were made to back that one up - and so on and so on.

The most interesting one is where i'm trying to be male...it's difficult...and apparantly i seem to be a bit gay from time to time lol

how many do you have?

lol. You have one that's male?

Umm...hold on let me count. I have........6. And I assure you that they are all male.

it's difficult...i had another one which was male but i got confused and sometimes posted 'her' on the rmb and sometimes 'him' and then talked about dresses...one guy got really mad with me :)

wtf???

oh well, dunno how that happened but meet another incarnation of Prue...Furry wombats at your service Chicken :D

*Walks in and looks around*
Heylo :)

lol. Furry Wombats.

So how many of your nations do you post on the forum with?

hiya Lush

i try to stick with Dezzan...but also post with Melody sometimes...and then others by accident :)

Most don't go on the forums at all - they are doing a job somewhere in a region and that's all they need to do.

ello all.

Hiya DF :)

hi DF, how's things?

things are good. how bout yall?

*wanders in and sits down at the bar. orders up a shot of tequila and a Carta Blanca*

*walks in*

(my first post in the new G forum!)

o.o It's Squorn!

Hey Squorn!
Hey Lush!

Hey Vex! :)

Hi Vex, Lush. How's it goibng around here?

I'd have to say it's goibng fairly well...

[sig test]blah[/sig test]

I'd have to say it's goibng fairly well...

Aah, sarcasm.

I can deal with that.

:sniper:


Seriously, the b is right next to the n and I type fast.

I am a terrible typist. Slow, plodding...just awful.

It's okay Vex, we can't all be geniuses.

:P

Huh?
*scratches head*
I don't get that...

I have mad typing skills, which makes me a genius, or something. It's late and I have no caffeine, my brain isn't working so well in the logic department.

Ok, anyone else think this setup is even less user-friendly than the old one?

Nice place, btw, Tink.

it aint great, but they say it'l get better.
hey Gael. been wahile.

Hey! What'cha been up to?

Man, I hope it gets better. *I* can program a nicer-looking (and more functional) forum than this.

it was better earlier, though i do agree on the whole decor of this place. the dull grey is kind of boring.

It's just so standard, and generic...

And it took me forever to learn how to navigate.

me too. and they changed it again alittle. down below the reply button there used to be a jump to button.

Ok, I've just finally decided that I really don't like this forum in any aspect except that it's finally up and I can touch base with people. It kinda sucks. But at least it's a forum, I guess? Jolt doesn't seem to have a very good concept of website design re: professionalism.

Oh well. Night, DF

alright. sleep well Gael.

*Prue walks in*

Nice to see so many people in the Paradise club...what a pity i have to sleep when so much activity is taking place :)

*picks up glasses and puts them in the glass washer, wipes over a few tables, arranges some flowers in a vase and puts it on the end of the bar and plumps up the cushions on the sofas*

*stands in the room looking pleased*

There...that looks a lot better...now it's ready for the next group

*settles down with a coffee in the corner of the sofa and curls up her legs*

Hi Prue! That coffee smells good...

thanks Prue

hi Vex

Hi Tink. I'm running late, as usual. Just popped in for some coffee before I took off.

Hiya Vex...coffe pot is over there, full and ready to go

Enjoy :)

Thank you kindly!
*fills his mug with java juice and hurries off*
See ya!

*dances*

*also dances*

*stops*

*carrys on*

Just checking to see if my problem is fixed.

:( And apparently it's not. :headbang:

Hey Tink, how 'bout a wee drink for yer daddy!

*stumbles in and shakes foot*
has anyone got a towel? theres a monster puddle outside and i seem to have fallen victim to it.

Here y'are

*Prue throws DF a large white fluffy towel smelling faintly of sunshine and lavender*

*looks at previous sentence*

i'm feeling poetic tonight! :)

*catches towel and dries off foot*
thanks Prue.

*Walks in*

Yo guys.

howdy chicken.

*Walks in*

Hellooooo

*enters the club and saunters over to the bar*
I do know where that is...
*orders up a Summit India Pale Ale and asks himself...*
I wonder if there's a casino in this facility. I've got a bit of cash burning a hole in my pocket and I sure wouldn't mind finding a roulette table...





http://www.vexilar.com/images/elements/small-logo.gif

Heyo Vex...I read in your thoughts that you have some extra money...instead of gambling, charity always makes you feel like a good person, yes? *Wink wink*

Charitable donations are for chumps...and those in need of tax write offs. I'd much rather double, triple or completely lose my cash...much more exciting. I'm very selfish that way. Or sick. Fine line.

You make a good point...right then, carry on. I'm sure there's a casino around here somewhere.

Who would know...?

*wanders through the hallways, turning right, then left, then right again...*

Umm...I think I'm lost...

*pops out of some random door, brushes dust off shoulders and staightens jacket*
alright, definatly not going in there again..

*Enters*

*gazes around, taking in view*

*spots bar and orders a Hoegaarden*

Anyone for pool?

heheheh! still waiting for your game of pool?

I haven't found the pool room yet...the only pool i know about is the one DF stepped in yesterday...or it might have been the day before...

there's a games room on the first floor

so there is...that's where i told Vex to find the casino the other evening

*enters the club and heads over to the bar to order up a Summit Extra Pale Ale. takes out a piece of paper and reads the printed directions*

The casino is through the door at the opposite end of the room you left the bar by...down the corridor, up the stairs and the door at the end...ok?

*he blinks and turns around spying the door Prue (or was it Melody?) referenced in her note. he proceeds down the long corridor, up a flight of stairs and walks to the door at the end of a long hallway. he opens the door and is greeted by a rather large security guard. "Come on in, enjoy your stay," he says, "and good luck!" Vex walks out on to the floor of the well hidden casino and heads immediately for the roulette table...*

All I need now is for Lady Luck to find me...

*sneaks up behind Vex* boo!

*jumps about five feet into the air*

Jeez Louise, girl! You trying to give me a heart attack?

hehe, sorry *hugs Vex* just thought i'd say hello before i went to bed so hello and goodnight

nicely done Tink.

hehe, sorry *hugs Vex* just thought i'd say hello before i went to bed so hello and goodnight

Hmm...
Hello and goodnight to you. I hope nothing sneaks in and gives you a start in the middle of the night!

*grabs a bottle of Cabernet from behind the bar and drops down into chair*

*leaves wondering if she should sleep with one eye open tonight, mutters to herself* maybe a could hire a security guard

*watches the marble spin around the table and land on black 20*

Hey, my birthday, whatta you know...

Hi DF. What's going on?

not alot. you?
*pops out cork and takes a swig*

Just got off the lake and in the shower. Worn out, but refreshed by the hot water. And now I'm gonna get rich quick...

*sips his beer and watches the croupier spin the wheel and drop the marble...*

by playing roulete? (sp?)

I can dream, can't I?

aye, that you can. i'd suggest the blackjack table. i saw the pay offs awhile ago. they looked pretty good.

Blackjack, eh? I've spent an hour or eight at a few blackjack tables in my day.

*watches the marble fall into black 33*

*the croupier drops the marble once again onto the spinning wheel. it bounces around crazily, finally settling into black 8*

Interesting...three blacks in a row. Time to bet red

*Vex places a $100 chip on red...*

*the wheel turns again and he watches the ball click and clack it's way around the numbers. black 6...*

Damn!

alright, suit yourself.
*wanders over to the poker table and takes a seat*

OK, smart guy...hope you don't get dealt aces and eights...

*puts two $100 chips on red*

*picks up his cards and tosses in some more chips*
raise $30.

Gambling?

*pulls up a seat nearby*

HA! full house!
*rakes in his winnings*
hey Gael. whats up?

*the little white ball rolls furiously around the outside of the wheel, catching a peg and bouncing from one hole to the next. black 10*

Oh, jeez. This is going quite well...

*a sleek figure catches his eye and he turns his head quickly...*

Oh, waitress. Another Summit, please... ;)

Not too terribly much here...leaving thursday though. I'm a bit nervous.

where ya headed?

Officer Field Training, for the Air Force. I'll be at Tyndall for a month or so.

cool.

OK, let's see here. Five blacks in row. Got to bet red heavily. Three little numbers and three even numbers in a row as well

*as the croupier spins the wheel, Vex lays ten $100 chips on red and 2 each on high and odd...*

Come on, baby...

I gotta feeling Lady Luck just walked in the room...

*the wheel spins hard and the marble flies around the perimeter in the opposite direction*

*antes up and picks up his cards*
bloody 'ell. fold.
*drops cards*

*after an unusually long time, the ball finds it's way into a number. the croupier calls out...*

Red! 27!

Woohoo! Triple winner! $1400! Less the $300 I lost earlier nets $1100! But that's OK. Drinks are on me!

*picks up cards and tries really hard to keep a straight face*
*tosses in a chip*
raise 50.
*gets raised again, so he tosses in a few more chips*
raise another 150
*throws down cards*
4 of a kind.
*rakes in $600*

*watches intently over DF's shoulder*

Sweet!

hey guys

*collects all his winnings and stuff them in his pocket, then picks up his bottle of cabernet and sits down on a couch*
hey Kis.

Hey there, KI. How you doing? Been a while...

*grabs a guinness*

pretty good vex. you? DF, how much u win? can you believe im back to america... no more japan.

Not normal, eh? How is that different? ;)
im half depressed and half happy to be back.

I've seen a few others with the same problem (-Verbatim- for one), but I don't know the cause. Perhaps you're all enemies of the state...

*Vex finds himself loitering dangerously near the roulette table again, shuffling his stack of chips nervously*

*watches the marble spin around and around and around...*

not seriously thinking of going back in Vex?

*wanders back into club are from casino and grabs a bottle of scotch and a glass*

heheheh! still waiting for your game of pool?

I haven't found the pool room yet...the only pool i know about is the one DF stepped in yesterday...or it might have been the day before...Hmm, anyone fancy a game? Assuming we can find it ...

never played pool but i'm willing to learn...bar billiards yes, pool no

it's upstairs...where the casino is

billiards? People still play billiards?

*grabs cues*

I'll teach you. Coming?

not billiards...BAR billiards...it's very different :)

unfortunately the witching hour of midnight is upon us (well, it is here) and if i hang around i'll probably turn into a pumpkin :D

story of my life...just about to do something interesting on the forums and i'm dragged back into RL

hope we meet again Zarozina *smiles*

I'm Prue btw - i'm often in here...when i can get on the forums

good night *waves*

Nice to meet Prue. People just call me Z here normally. I'm off to me pit as soon as I've finnished this beer. Crappy job to go to 2mro. Nos da!

I've seen a few others with the same problem (-Verbatim- for one), but I don't know the cause. Perhaps you're all enemies of the state...
Yeah Vex, that's probably it, I'm an enemy of the state.

Stupid thing that says I'm a guest...I'll show it!
:sniper:
:mp5:
:gundge:

Well, that didn't fix it, looks like I'm back to banging my head against a wall. :headbang:

send [violet] an email - she'll sort you

*Prue enters, takes one look at Chicken banging his head against the wall, opens her handbag and takes out some painkillers*

Here, you'll probably need these!

Wanders over to the bar, fixes a drink and curls up in the corner of the sofa with a book.

*sneaks up behind Prue*

send [violet] an email - she'll sort you
A bunch of other people are having the same problem and have posted in Technical, and the mods said that they're working on it. But untill it's fixed... :headbang:

Thanks Prue. I'll probably need those.

*sneaks up behind Prue*

*hears squeek of floorboard and spins round*

hiya Lang...how's things?

*tries to act innocent*

Erm....yeah, we finally did. Looks like she's offline right now, though.

i'm back, i just went to make my dinner

Okie dokie!

hey, guys.. its my first time here.. :sniper:

hi, it's....er....nice to meet you, just watch out where you point that gun

Hey Wakawaka, you're a guest just like me! I don't see why you're shooting at us though.

Howdy!

:sniper: muhahaha lol

*hides behind Lang*

* a group of Clangers streak through Paradise Club...snatch the gun off Wakawaka and run out*

*a splash is heard as the gun is thrown into the lake*

*puts on body armor*

Stay behind me, Tink Tink.

*Prue enters, takes one look at Chicken banging his head against the wall, opens her handbag and takes out some painkillers*

Here, you'll probably need these!

Wanders over to the bar, fixes a drink and curls up in the corner of the sofa with a book.
Hi Prue ... so we meet again!

*grabs beer and wanders over*

*the group of wombats in party frocks, having disposed of the bear trap, race in, grab Lang and run off with him*

*with much chattering and laughing they throw him into the pool*

*squeeling with delight they run off*

Niiiiiiice pool.

*floats around*

Hi Z *smiles*

Sorry about last night

*looks at the wombats in amazement*

what are they doing here???

hey! Lang Lang, are you ok?

I'm fine, Tink Tink! Zeh water is nice!

*the wombats reappear, chattering and laughing, and they all leap into the pool with Lang*

Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

*water splashes everywhere and soon there is pandemonium...with Lang right in the middle*

ok *jumps in the pool* yes it is...........maybe i should have changed into a bikini or summat first though

Yeah.

*gets thrown around in the water*

AHHHHH!

....erm.....what are you doing to him?


are you ok Lang?

*Prue uncurls her legs, puts her book on the table and makes room for Z*

*lands on ground outside the pool and flops around like a fish*

I'm fine.

ok *gets out of the pool, goes into a nearby room and comes out with two towels then wraps one around Lang and the other around herself*

Thank you.

*gets up and looks around for the evil wombats*

well i wouldn't want you to catch a cold

*Saunters in*

Howdy, everyone, was ist auch?

*Prue uncurls her legs, puts her book on the table and makes room for Z*
'S'ok. *saunters over but slips, spoiling the effect* Wombats in party frocks!? Are we back in Forum 7 again? *Sits down on sofa* Whatcha reading there Prue?

Yeah, colds suck.

Howdy!

Hey! *Drops large overcoat onto the floor*












What? Of course I'm wearing somethin under this!

*picks up coat and hangs it up* it'll get dirty on the floor!

Yeah!

*walks in*

hmm, kinda empty in here.

Hey Squorn...you beat me here by, like, 30 seconds. How're you?

hello

pretty good, thanks.

How're you?

I'm not too bad, nothing to complain about. Things here are pretty quiet...

nice sig. :cool:

Hm? Who, me?

yes, you. It took me a minute to get it but it's good, and a lot more subtle than mine! ;)

I can't see any sigs... *Cry*

ok, here's what you do. scroll up to the top of the screen, then, click "Profile". After that, click "Edit Options" on the left of the screen. It will take you to a menu where you can set all kinds of things, including showing sigs, avatars etc.

...I feel so smart now *d'oh* Thank you

It isn't exactly easy to find.

This is true...

*finally gets there*

Jeez...took me long enought. thought I would never get here

umm, hello

Hi GD...

*walks over to Japaica* well Jap, I finally made it here, sorry for destroying your hut again too.

Umm...I don't think Japaica's here...

Japaica hasn't been in the club for a few days

well....great....just talked to him on the phone and I think hes rather pissed off at me anyway. I told him to come over to a friends house, and that I was there and our friend said it was ok, he came over, we werent there..

Okay?

...I feel so smart now *d'oh* Thank you

owned

Merf, bite me and call me an apple :D

NINJA ATTACK

Nuuuuu! *Runs for cover*

*tries to kill ninjas*
http://smilies.jeeptalk.org/contrib/blackeye/2gunsfiring_v1.gifhttp://smilies.jeeptalk.org/contrib/edoom/one_samuria.gif

They're invincible!

is it safe to come in...?

*ducks and crawls over to bar*

hi guys

*jumps over bar and hides among the bottles*

10 Ninjas are attacking the club!

Hey Dezzan...Does it look safe? Eep!

*Ducks under a chair*

hey...just another day in the life of the Paradise Club :)

I'm Prue...pleased to meet you. What can i get you to drink?

*scrabbles about under the bar looking to see what there is to drink*

i fancy a white wine but that's in the fridge and it's probably not safe to stand at the mo...

where'd these ninjas come from and what's Merfy doing here???
