Those of you following the
Tales from Adrian's will possibly have noted the slight buildup of what might be misconstrued as defensive items. And then there was the brief appearance of the squirrels and their departure with the Christmas Tree.
Anyhow, I think it would now be good to found AAAA&A: Adrian's Array of Amazing Adventurers and Alcoholics. The goals of this group of fearless fellows and fellowettes (of whatever sex (including multiple and/or none at all), species, lifeform, entity, sapience or non-sapience, imaginary, or even one of those mythical real thingies) is to help defend Adrian's should it ever come under threat. Well, more threat than it normally poses to itself. Some of you may, given Adrian's habit of playing fast and loose with cause and effect, have received commissions in AAAA&A in the name of His Imprudent Majesty Adrian (or have been drafted, possibly via the pumps [I prefer the blue ones, myself] at the bar). Either way, I would greatly appreciate "volunteers", and if you can indicate the skillset you bring (e.g. BadGoodDebs might say "wielding and throwing of sharp pointy ouchy things")
Some of you may feel ill-suited to the more aggressive sides of defense. For those of you, several specialist divisions will be formed to cover catering, first aid, entertainment and morale support, committees and negotiations and last but definitely not least (and my own personal favourite) the hiding futilely in a place where you will be humorously found division.
Badges of office, as well as uniforms, can doubtless be purchased from Montsmags Enterprises, at a suitable premium at some non-specific, non-constant, Heisenberg-uncertainty-principle-style point in time.
