Silver: I can't think of anyone that does, Captain. *Takes him into the Gents'*

Burgundy: Well, it looks as if the captain's in safe hands. *sighs with relief and goes back to the bar*

*shakes his head* I think Colonel White could do with giving him a good talking to! *clears his throat* Can I have another drink, Captain? I think I'll have a cola on the rocks.

*clearing her throat* Right, would anyone like a nice, fresh from the oven, hot cross bun? If not, I might have to eat them all by myself...

I'd love one, Burgundy. Why don't I put some coffee on while they cool a bit?

Sounds like a plan! Although I think I'd rather have a cup of tea.

SIG Captain, I'll put the kettle on as well.

Thank you, Captain. I'm gahhhsping!

Evening all how was everyones easter??

On the whole, it was very pleasant... Although I had some money docked during the bank holidays. *mutters something about the World Government being a pain in the neck* More hot cross buns, anyone? *glances in the World President's direction*

Oh dear ill be just in the corner if you need me

Thank you. Can I get thee anything?

Just the usual thanks

Coke on the rocks? I'll have some more gravel brought in from the Beer Garden.

Has the establishment ran out of ice, Captain?

It was only a joke, Sir; perhaps a bad one. *hands Prof her drink, complete with pebble sweets* Would you like anything, Mister President?

*Goes to the bar* I think I'd like a tea, please - without too much milk, if you don't mind. I believe you know how I like it?

Right you are, Captain; a minimal amount of milk and three sugars. Any biscuits?

Yes please. I think I'll have a selection, if you don't mind.

A whole tin, or on a plate? *nods as he frowns at her* On a plate. Right you are. I'll get you a selection, then.

Thankyou, Captaint. You really are too kind. *takes his plate and teacup and goes off to his favourite chair*

Sorry, Captain Scarlet... I'm in a strange mood.

*keeping a straight face with some difficulty* Just do us both a favour and see that it doesn't happen again. *clears his throat, inspecting the plate of biscuits* Captain Burgundy! *goes back to the bar* This biscuit *prods the one in the middle of the plate* seems to have plant extracts in it - it looks suspiciously like chilli.

What do you mean, "plant extracts", Captain Scarlet? Aren't flour and sugar plant extracts? You're right though, it's chili and chocolate cookie. I thought you might like to try one, seeing as you're of an adventurous disposition.

Chocolate and chilli? *breaks the biscuit in half and hands one of the pieces to Burgundy* I'll try it if you will.

All right then. *takes a bite and whimpers* Ohhhhhhh! *tries to fan her mouth, hopping up and down, and swallows hastily* That's hot! *wipes at her streaming eyes and sniffs* It tastes good, though, don't you think?

*takes a tiny bite* It isn't that strong! *puts his half in his mouth and smiles at Burgundy as he chews it, not showing any discomfort at all*
