Rae had arranged for the streets to be covered in beautiful and brightly colored balloons and fairy lights. There was a banner over a stage reading, “National RHW Appreciation Day!” and a half circle of eight chairs had been set up. Upon each chair was a woman who worked too hard, broke her nails, missed hair appointments, put her life on hold and generally kicked an un-holy amount of ass. 

Rae stood up and walked to the center of the stage to address the crowd, “You may wonder why I’ve gathered you here today, but then again, the majority of you are rather intelligent so I’m sure you can piece it together.” she said with a chuckle. “I would have let our men folk bosses set this up, but you know what they’re like.” she said with a small eye roll, “Too busy running cities and delegating to have time for things such as birthdays and made up holidays in order to toot our own horns.” 

“But I have gathered you here to sing the praise of those of us who do not get nearly enough appreciation, cookies or alcohol. The general amount of work you’d expect a right hand to do, but more because we’re women and must look good while doing it.” 

“Take myself for example, Now Honesty- is a lovely guy,. Best friends our entire lives, saved a penguin named Benji once, its a long story. But I’m telling you, If after one late night where I roll into the Headquarters without makeup on and suddenly I’m being called  granny Rae. Take it from me, they won’t notice your new haircut, shoes or if you recruited half a city worth of people, but you forget to cover up your dark circles that they caused… Well, they certainly notice that.” 

“So we’re here to praise the hard work these women have done, going above and beyond while at the beck and call of our very manly leaders.”

“First we have Miss. Arabella_ who has to grit her teeth and call KingRevan “your majesty” even when fetching him more toilet paper because he forgot to check before going into the bathroom yet again.”

“And how about Cassandane who has to deal with all of Eorati’s mails, and he has a lot of them. I would know, I’m the one mailing him on behalf of Honesty-. That girl deserves a medal. And a hug. Maybe even a muffin.”

“And Miss AudreyParker, my heart goes out to you, you magnificent thing. I have had conversations with Ronin about the newspaper deadlines. I can not even imagine what you have to put up. Your muffin basket is in the mail, do not worry.”

“And @Miss_Nikki, who has to clean the HQ every day because Frank-Gallagher has not yet been properly toilet trained. Her struggle is real, it is very hard to look well put together and stylish when your hands are encased in bright yellow rubber gloves. And yet Cato just turns a blind eye. You see, he won’t stoop for housework. And he’d have to, the man is a giant.”

And we can not forget Crystalize who has to hear her name shouted through the HQ in a shockingly shrill voice, over and over again when Sinfest needs something urgently done. Which in Sinfest’s eyes, is everything he doesn’t want to do. 

And to the newest addition to our RHW club, Ms. HarperLane who was pulled out of bed in the middle of the night and thrown into her new position. She has thus far, handled it with grace and poise in public, as a real RHW leaves her mental rantings and ravings for our special meetings at the bar with several bottles of wine. Sorry, no boys allowed. 

And lastly, but certainly not least…To Cordelia who, well… Actually Cordelia is quite terrifying. Perhaps we’re already all aware how brilliant she is… because if you don’t she might stab you. Out of all of us beautiful, witty and smart, Right Hand Women, Cordelia is probably the one who doesn’t take shit from anyone. 

“So remember, ladies and gentlemen, behind every great man is a much greater woman, kicking and wiping his ass, correcting his spelling, and taking care of pretty much everything for him.” 

After Rae finished speaking she headed back to her seat and pulled out a basket of Tiaras, handing them around to the fine women who help run these cities, because after all, it was a Tuesday. 

"RAYLN!"

Sinfest yells in the customary "shrill voice" 

"Thank you for you wonderful speech and the fairy lights are divine. I really do appreciate my Right hand woman and all the things she has done for me. She really is one classy bird."

Sinfest holds a drink up in Crystalize's Honor

"May you never be bored with me and let us always have good times"

Sinfest tips his hat to the other ladies for their accomplishments as well

Rayln freezes in her seat, her fingernails digging into the arms of the chair and she shudders visibly. She turns her head to Crystalize and mouths the words, "I don't know how you put up with Sinfest."

Twice a day I appreciate the lovely AudreyParker. She keeps me in line, and reminds me to follow her fuckin rules or swim with the fishes. Being her associate isn't easy, but it is a job I enjoy having.

Frank walks into the street and sees the 8 overly intelligent, overly beautiful and of course - overly worked ladies up on the stage.  He'd heard that the beautfiul Miss_niki was going to be there so he thought he'd better go and pay his respects.  But first, he sips his flask once, throws up all over the floor and then realizes he has to void.  He looks around for a bathroom which is nowhere to be found and shrugs.  He takes a 14 minute long piss behind a bench before walking over in front of the stage to address the ladies.

"Ladies, I feel that this tribute is cause for a speech. I am sure that you are all bonafide all stars within your respective crews.  Lord knows, men can be difficult, bullish, lazy - and in my particular situation - lacking hygeine.  Miss_Niki - You're amazing.  Somehow you make sure that that HQ works - which is amazing considering everything.  Burgundy, Bender, Karnage, Bojack-Horseman and the rest of us have been known to be difficult and leave messes - but you're like the glue that keeps us together."

"Now - you wouldn't mind going back to the HQ in that pretty little tiara and making us some sandwiches would you??"

Franks stumbles off as he sees at least 5 of the 8 ladies drawing their guns.

This was it.

He had been making preparations for a few months now, but wasn't sure how to exactly spring them into action, that was until this very moment when the vodka riddled Rayln stepped onto the streets with something about right hand appreciation; and he knew in that second this was the right time, it had all come together so very perfectly. 

He walked over to the ladies and neared Arabella, holding something small in his hands as he edged over closer and closer.

"Hey! Arabella. I'd been thinking about everything you've had to put up with, and since we're talking about me, I mean you, I mean me, I mean... sorry, old habit. Ahem Since we're talking about the right hand women of the mafia and all... I suppose I should thank you for everything you've done for me so far, so I had a few guys from Ronin's crew make this for me. They're all really good with wood for some reason..."

Slowly opening his hands, he reveals a small statuette of himself and hands it over to Arabella.

"It's for you, so you never forget about me even when we're not working together, as a thank you for doing so much for me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!"

He lets off a huge smile and bows to the rest of the women before walking off into the sunset, what a nice guy he is.

Knowing that he could never come up with words that would honor these women properly, SonnyMac walked into the street with something under his trench coat.  Silently, he tipped his hat to the ladies.  Before walking away he pulled out a bottle of rum and a tray full of cookies and left them in the street.

Enjoy ladies.  

Honesty was listening to Rayln's "important speech."  She had come bursting into his office earlier and told him to follow her, which he did. He got in her car and it was eerily silent in the car. Actually, it was kind of awkward. You know what? It was really awkward. Rayln was staring at Honesty he whole time and when he opened his mouth to say something, Rayln put a finger in his mouth and said, "Shhhhhhhhh."

Well, that really weirded Honesty out, but he did as she bid because, even though Honesty never said this to anybody and being as Legendary as he is, Rayln scared him. They arrived at a place with chairs and a stage and Honesty took a seat as Rayln began her rambling. At least, that's what Honesty thought it was. Until these beautiful, harmonious words came out of her mouth. 

Single tear.

"That was......... It just was. It just was."

Single tear.

"ALTHOUGH, Rayln, I do have to say something. "Correcting his spelling" is something I tend to do with you." Honesty smiles at Rayln as he thinks he's funny. " And that time with the makeup? It scared all of the kids from the birthday party I hosted!"

Once again, Honesty smirked as he thought he was funny. 

"HOWEVER, my dear and sweet Rayln, you are the most perfect person ever. You always are able to cheer everyone up like the fun, loving person you are. We've had our differences, for example, when you caught me snuggling with another person, but I want you to know, that from now on, ALL THE SNUGGLES ARE FOR YOU!!!!! Also, I always greet you with a martini glass when you come to the HQ. I even put that little umbrella you like. DOESN'T THAT MEAN ANYTHING?!?!?!"

Honesty walks over to Rayln and gives the best hug anyone has ever received. 

"Thank you. Thank you for everything, ma chère."

Honesty also mutters to himself, "God, there are a lot more RHWs than I thought.... Huh..."

Harper was so excited being a part of the National Right Hand Woman Appreciation day.

 Damn right we aren’t women that need a man, we are women that men need.

 This is a bitter sweet occasion because I can’t help thinking about my dear RHW Twink who was gunned down recently.  She is the one that should be honored here today. For if it wasn’t for her passing down her knowledge I wouldn’t have been able to step up to the plate.

It’s an honor to be among such great RHW as we seen mentioned here today.

I thank you Rayln for this wonderful celebration.

She snickers and smiles and nods knowingly as she listens to her dear friend, Rayln, speak of all the glorious, amazing, and talented Right Hand Women that made up a portion of their society.

Very well said my dear, very well said indeed. Your words are appreciated to an extent that words cannot be used to describe my excessive amounts of joy. You are just as cute as a bunny. I want to pinch your cheeks.

She presses a smallish package wrapped in purple tissue paper and ribbons into Rayln's hands.

Oh, don't worry. It won't explode, not right away anyway. Enjoy, do be sure to open it outside though.

She giggles quietly to herself knowing that Rayln would not have the strength to withstand the allure of her gift. After all, what woman didn't like a good glitter bomb. The chocolate chunk praline peanut butter cookie was just a bonus.

Katherine comes in with a case of champagne that might have fallen off of a truck and a load of fruit tarts and begins passing the delectable snacks out to all of the hard working Right Hand Women.  She pops open a bottle of bubbly and pours several glasses and hands them out, smiling at each lady, clinking her flute of champagne with theirs. 

"Cheers and good health to all of the amazing women who help this thing of ours run smoothly.  You ladies are the backbone of our families and without you I can't imagine what kind of chaos would overtake these streets.  May you all stay strong, sweet and beautiful!" 

Miss_Niki laughs when she hears Frank-Gallagher 's speech. She wasn't laughing when he peed on the couch this morning though.

She helps herself to a shot of rum and a cookie that SonnyMac brought. She oooh'd and ahhh'd appropriately over the statue that KingRevan had given to @Arabella .

She laughed as the glitter bomb Cordelia had given to dear sweet @Raylin exploded in a PooF of glitter. 

What a wonderful day!! Thank you Raylin!!!!
