Sunday Night Football!

[smart-house.livejournal.com]

A steel door, sometimes in the bar and sometimes not, appears again next to her written affidavit of safety from a Milliways-renowned parapsychologist. 'SARAH', as that affidavit names her, lets that steel door swing open wide, and it only takes a few seconds for a computerized woman's voice to be broadcast over the bar-wide sound system.

"Hello, Milliways. Today I am hosting a football party -- Philidelphia Eagles playing against the New York Giants. There are no commercials; I've picked up a pre-network satellite feed of the game. It doesn't start for another hour, but if you would like to claim a seat early, please stop by. If coming later, please bring any snacks you might like and a chair or cushion. There is plenty of space for everyone. Thank you."

Now it's wait and see, but SARAH is optimistic. Who doesn't like sports*?

*Now now, SARAH is completely aware that there are some people who do not like sports. She is just hoping they are grossly outnumbered here.

ETA: There is an AIM Chat! Chat name: milliball

Mingling.

[smart-house.livejournal.com]

"Come on in," a disembodied voice offers to anyone within earshot of the lower door at the bottom of the cement staircase. The living room is brightly lit and the television -- almost fifteen feet of wall panels converted into the biggest HD set most people in the 21st century have seen -- is the immediate eye-draw.

"The keg is fresh in the refrigerator, and if you need anything cold you can leave it there. Find a seat and enjoy!"

Smart house. Well, this is probably going to be a welcome break from hunting dino-creatures, and after going home to get some medical attention, Alex finds himself again in Milliways (that closet is really, really helpful) and hears the announcement.

Why not?

So he goes to the Bar and asks for some snacks and some beer to be charged to his tab, and when he wanders in to the door and into the room...

"...woah."

A grin. That's a big TV.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Smug. What? Didn't you know voices could be smug?

"Please make yourself comfortable, mister...?"

[smart-house.livejournal.com]

"That's alright. Please, you can set your dishes on the coffee table. Unless they need to keep cold, then you can put them in the refrigerator in the back."

The coffee table, a white and silver low thing in front of the white couch in the living room, is currently half-occupied with snacks from Alex West, but there's plenty of space.

"What's your name?"

Cyrus O'Dell enters with three bottles of fine (but not overly so) scotch. He hasn't a clue abut how it is that keeps making these announcements, but i'ts probably just another weird thing in the Bar. And it's football, after all.

"Hello?"

Re: Mingling.

Clark is a little apprehensive about randomly entering strange buildings. But it's football and well, he could use the distraction.

And that TV is one hell of a distraction.

"Uh, hello?"

She comes downstairs late this evening, but pauses by the door to the house when she does so. Curiosity is clear in the dark eyes.

"What under the Light?"

Jack's only just walked into Milliways and read the sign above the bar. He always arrives late to these kinds of things.

Walking in, it looks like there's a good crowd, but still space to sit.

"Hope I haven't missed the entire game," he says, taking a seat on a couch.

1st Quarter

[smart-house.livejournal.com]

The theme song is rolling.

Across the screen, Philidelphia Eagles vs. New York Giants.

SARAH resists the urge to sing along to the country singer on the screen; she figures it might take away from the ambience.

Re: 1st Quarter

[dean-o-dell.livejournal.com]

He sits down. He misses Pink, which shocks him.

"Huh. Good game."

2nd Quarter.

[smart-house.livejournal.com]

There have been sacks.

There have been downs.

There have been acrobatic hops and kicks that went way wide.

Welcome to second-quarter. Still scoreless.

Re: 2nd Quarter.

[dean-o-dell.livejournal.com]

Cyrus gets the scotch and the ice. "Anyone?" He makes a point of not looking at the really young looking kid. That guy can't be old enough.

Re: 2nd Quarter.

[jokerswildwest.livejournal.com]

"We need to get some offense going."

When the commerical cuts on and the Bon Jovi plays, Alex resists the urge to break into 'Livin' On A Prayer'.

Re: 2nd Quarter.

Nathan was dressed a little more relaxed, but still neat in his clothing combo of shirt and chinos. Also had a bag of pretzals, and glancing around the place. A little strange.

"What's the score?"

3rd Quarter

[smart-house.livejournal.com]

Still 7-0 Giants.

The beer is available. So is the Scotch (thanks to Dean) and the snacks (thanks to Alex and Ana).

SARAH? Still incorporeal. Still smug.

Re: 3rd Quarter

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

And an incomplete pass gets thrown. Good. Eagles were just lying down in this one.

"Holding again. What the hell?"

Re: 3rd Quarter

[wheelsy_sheriff]

Football and beer? Of course Bill is going to show up for that. He's also going to show up late.

But he's here! In the strange house that talks.

"Seven, zip? Been good defense or do they both just suck?" He asks as he tries to drag up a chair while holding onto a beer.

Re: 3rd Quarter

[blue_ajah]

She drifts slowly down the hallway and into the room, looking at the spectacle on the screen with some surprise.

4th Quarter

[smart-house.livejournal.com]

16-0 Giants.

SARAH's feeling successful and there are a significant amount of snacks already eaten.

Re: 4th Quarter

[jokerswildwest.livejournal.com]

"Alright, fifteen minutes. Let's see if this actually turns into a blowout or not."

He hasn't been able to sit back and watch football in a long time.

Re: 4th Quarter

[will_scarlett]

Will follows the noise in and first just has wide eyes at the Huge screen then, "Good lord."

Re: 4th Quarter

[action-antihero.livejournal.com]

He's only just sat down when he spots the time on the screen. Fourth quarter. Great. Way to appear in Milliways as the game's almost finished.

"So...what did I miss?" Jack asks, preparing to get pelted with snacks.

Re: 4th Quarter

[jokerswildwest.livejournal.com]

When the Eagles finally get on the board with the incredibly long field goal, Alex grins.

"Now, maybe we'll have a game on our hands."
