Eielson Few

Bob stood straightening his tie in front of the gathering crowd, a strange object hanging from his mouth as he spoke. As the last few voices hushed, he smiled before opening,

"Hello, I'm BobRoss... I'm usually a man with too many words, but I've honestly come here a bit unprepared today..." He takes a moment to clear his throat before continuing, "See... I thought I was gonna be stuck with ol' moany Miss Molly forever, but thankfully she's promised to disappear for a series of wine-binges and back-to-front-routinism in the old country on some long visits." Bob chuckles, glancing over at @MollyMalone and chucking a cheeky wink. "You'll still see her face around the HQ from time-to-time, though. She'll just be even drowsier than usual.. Haha."

"No, in sincerity though... Molly has always done her best by me and it's an honour to be taking over from what she's already built here. Cockles and Muscles has heaps of talent and potential and I'm proud to announce that I'll be taking the reins on the leadership of our tight group." Bob breaks for a breath, "The next step of our journey, Eielson Few has been formed."

Bob pauses and takes a step back, his arm extending in the direction of a small crowd gathered near the front, some more familiar faces being @RampagingSpike, @Willie_Brennan, @Rathbone, @RalphieBoy, @SaintJimmy, among others.

"Most of all, I'd like to thank Godfather Constance for the nod on this move... It's a big move as a leader trusting someone like this, I respect her faith in me. I'll have to remember to pick her up a few extra Bob's favourite Brownies next time I stop by." Bob chuckles, his bloodshot eyes peeking between his puffed eyelids,

"@SaintJimmy." Bob smiles, nodding at his buddy, "Don't be shy, Jimmy... Ladies and gentlemen, please meet my Right Hand Man @SaintJimmy. Consider his ears and mouth as my own in my absence. He's a good lad, he'll take care of you."

He took the paintbrush from the grip of his teeth, waving it in circles a few times before continuing,

"To wrap it all up... I just end by saying, I've grown with a lot of people in my time here... Some of them more familiar to me, others completely new to me... I'm quite excited to see how many more people I can meet on this journey and how many of us can appreciate more of these momentous moments together. I'm looking forward to Eielson Few of Old City District, Philadelphia making their mark on This Thing of Ours. Please do feel welcome down at the new spot Eielson's in Philadelphia to celebrate the opening of Eielson Few!"

Bob spins the paintbrush around his knuckles, abruptly catching it between two fingers to conclude his announcement.
