Note: The workshops will be posted in clumps of threes so that this doesn't kill anyone's flist, and to give a general sense of time. They're not happening simultaneously - all three of the Morning Workshops take place one after the other. You can totally attend all three without needing to be Jamie Madrox.

All island residents are welcome to stop by for any or all of the festivities. Attend the workshop on weapons, drink with the mercs, have a good time!

Questions? Comments? Pie?

...So what would happen if Jamie did attend all the workshops?

*Imagines a roomful of trained assassins all trying to kill Jamie*

Alanna: ...Can someone record that please?

Mary regrets that she will be unable to join the mercs for a drink as she is still being held by the Las Vegas authorities -- for now.

And just to clarify, the breakfast and brunch threads will be included in the daily hotel posts, right?

The mercs send their regards, some liquor, and possibly a cake with a saw in it >.>

And yes, if that's still cool with you and all. Jeff's mun is grabbing breakfast tomorrow.

Works for me! I just wanted to clarify.

And Mary's "prison" so far has been an ultra-luxe Vegas hotel suite with her girlfriends about to take her to see male strippers, so she's not protesting too loudly. :D
