*Finishes outdoor display. 20,000 lights, 8 animated figures, music, and a computer with everything hooked up so that all the lights and the animated figures are activated in time to the music. Leaves this off for now and heads inside to erect three trees, another 15 animated figures, garland for the fireplace, and to put a lit Santa with his sleigh and reindeer on the roof*

Strop?
You Brits and your crazy language. You crack me up.
Strop is a great word! It should be used more often. But that must be because I'm British
Captain Ice - can I get some of that hot chocolate please?
*delivers a thermos of Godiva Hot Chocolate to the doctor on his way out the door for more decorating supplies*
Thank you sir...wonders if she can set up a tab with Captain Ice.....what shop is it you own again (my memory isn't what it used to be!) and is a tab possible?
Hippy Lady would like to come to a karaoke night, if it's still on. Her oldest child, Emberglow, is old enough to look after the younger children, so HL can have a night out. Should she bring some vegetarian goodies? She makes a mean vegan chocolate cake, with or without Added Happiness (which is $50 extra).
She wonders if RJ has some good books to recommend for her children. What do you have in that magic (haha) basement of yours, my good friend?

Italian deli. We're not set up for tabs yet. Though, *ahem* our loan operation is up and running
^^ Did you say something about something in the basement?
Ah, yes, one of Honest RJ's Banned Books most popular items: The Uncensored Suess.
I did. I wanted you to come over, look at it, and tell me if it is what I think it is. (It looks a lot like a T.A.R.D.I.S. Blinky light at all)
Due to popular demand (and despite everyone missing the first one), Daniel begins unpacking all the karoke stuff for tommorow's KARAOKE NIGHT 2.
Angry packing is never good packing. All the karaoke machine cables are in one gigantic knot. Daniel sits on the corner of the rebuilt stage, armed with a soup bowl-sized mug of tea, and begins untangling the wires.

It's kind of an all-day, all-night thing tommorow. Anyone can come in, take the stage, and start singing. There may be prizes.
My good friend Captain Robau will be along to act as security - just in case horrible drunken singers refuse to relinquish the stage.
It's your coffee shop, feel free to add rules and conditions
.
The food has been delivered. You need to warm it up about 30 minutes before you set it out. Oh, I took the liberty of bringing by some chaffing dishes, covers, and Sterno. Put the Sterno in the holders in the chafing dishes and the pans of food in the top of the frame and you are set.
Daniel's up early, and, in a fit of inspiration, has changed the signs to KARAOKE NIGHT AND TALENT SHOW. The stage and mic will be used to their fullest, hopefully with a variety of entertainments.
An eerie light and hum fills the coffee shop, and guest bouncer Captain Robau materializes right on time, armed with a phaser pistol set to 'stun'.
The coffee shop doors open, and the place fills with nameless background people. Taking the stage, Daniel adresses the crowd...
"Welcome to the Karaoke Night and Talent Show! Feel free to hop up on the stage at any time. Sing, dance, tell jokes, perform magic acts, whatever you can think of. Cakes for the good performances. The bad ones get stunned and left in the snow outside. Good luck!"
A nameless extra climbs the stage and starts juggling model Enterprises, to polite disintrest from the crowd.

The Crazy Cat Lady sits in a corner of the coffee shop. With her are 4 of her singing cats and Miss Chicken. The little three legged cat looks around mildly amused by the people, the four singing cats (Temperance, Seeley, Sweets and Camille) eagerly wait for their chance at fame.
Jenee sets out the appetizers per Captain Ice's instructions. Also sets out several carafes of every type of coffee along with carafes of hot water for tea. She gently reminds Daniel to set out the fresh fruit with his breads and pasteries.

The people are growing tired of the random guy juggling... but he's not getting the hint. Even the controversial move of adding an incorrectly-scaled USS Voyager to his flying models hasn't helped. There is a zapping sound, a crash as the models hit the ground and then a thump as the guy himself does. Robau holsters his phaser and drags the unconcious fella outside.
Daniel takes the stage - "Okay, who wants to go next? Sing, dance, tell jokes, do anything - just getting up here entitles you to a free tea or coffee later!"

Deranged Nasat staggers on to the stage, waving a bottle. Inspired by the sweet taste of alcohol, he begins belting out a set of Star Trek themed Christmas songs. Throw coins in his hat to show appreciation and/or make him stop.
"Away in a rockpool, no crib for a bed
The little Dax Symbiont lay down its sweet head.
The bats in the dark cave look down where it squats,
The little Dax Symbiont asleep on the rocks.
The cavefish are gurgling, the creature awakes
But little Dax Symbiont, no crying it makes
I love you, Dax Symbiont, look up from the pools
And stay with my memories so none I will lose.
Be near me, Dax Symbiont, I ask thee to stay
Inside me for ever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear Trill hosts in thy tender care
And fit us for Mak'ala to live with thee there!"
