Jun. 24th, 2005 03:23 amSo. Coffee. Stephanie. And a happy, lazy sort of feeling. It's all good, really.
[Summarised, for great ... summarisation? Mace Windu stops by and offers to train Steph in Jedi fighting styles, which makes her squee a lot. Currently in slowtime.
Dick greets her with trick arrows, and because Steph and Dick are cracky like that, they carry out an evil plot against Connor Hawke, and Steph finds herself under the amused-but-posessive eye of Kyle Rayner. Currently in slowtime.
And then there is the DOOM. She jumps down to confront Kon about a certain remark, and discovers something she really didn't want to, and there is doom and Tim arrives and there is tension and breakage and lots of fun stuff like that. And ... slowtime.]

Jun. 24th, 2005 08:32 amThe people who knew him might have noted a particular air of tenseness about his posture and demeanor. There were several reasons for that, all of them becoming increasingly troubling.

He hasn't been sleeping so well for the last while. Planning and worry about what he and Max are going to do - and also fear - lead to insomnia and bad dreams when he does sleep.

Jun. 24th, 2005 01:47 pm"Thank you very much, but I'm not going to be needing that room anymore, so you can give it to someone else," April told Bar, patting her gently. She waited a moment, and drummed her fingertips across the polished surface when the key didn't disappear. "Really. Cross my heart. No need to keep it, I swear." The key remained, and April sighed.
"Can I at least pay my tab?" She blinked up at the board behind Bar, squinting at her name. "Can I at least get a total?" The zero didn't change.
"You are really not making this easy on me," April remarked, although it wasn't with any malice. Rather a sort of feminine understanding.
Yeah, yeah, I got it. I'm still leaving.
She had her airplane ticket and everything. Booked for the following morning. Better say hi now.
[Not-quite-summary: April meets: Raven (Adorable), Holmes (Pompous) and Death (*flail*). There's also a space in here somewhere reserved for Xander (Cutie). I'll likely be slowtiming this post through tonight and tomorrow, so please, FEEL FREE TO JUMP IN if you want to. I don't know when she'll be back in the bar again. Could be a few days, could be a few weeks.]

Jun. 24th, 2005 02:07 pmSomehow, one of Nefret's old and creased photo albums ended up in her room. She's not sure how, or who to thank, though it's default to Bar. Even if Bar had nothing at all to do with it.
And she's running a finger along the pages. So many faces. Faces she remembers, faces she misses, and, falling on the page with images of David and Lia's wedding, faces she just plain needs.

Jun. 24th, 2005 03:22 pmSunlight.
Wait, no, that can't be right. He was inside, in a room with no windows, on a planet where you can't see the sun.
He squints before ascertaining that it is, in fact, sunlight. He looks at himself and sees, to his shock, two arms and two legs. The arm and the leg he had had cut off are back on him, with absolutely no bruising or cuts. From his near perfect vision, he's guessing the eye he lost is also back.
Unfortunately, every single possible part of the rest of his body is covered with a variety of bruises, cuts and burns. He looks awful, and he feels worse, but none the less he is smiling.
He looks around, realising he's out by the lake, surrounded by long grass.
Feel free to bother him, he could do with some company/someone to help him walk.

Jun. 24th, 2005 04:44 pmHas he been there long? Really, it's anyone's guess. He certainly doesn't know, which really says a lot about the nature of Milliways because Benton Fraser, in general, knows many things. There is a wolf curled up on the floor next to the couch and he probably doesn't know how long they've been there either, which says even more because for a deaf wolf, Diefenbaker is generally alert and something of a light sleeper.
The end result, though, is that Benton Fraser and his wolf are asleep on the couches near the fire at the end of the universe instead of asleep in his office where he really should be, since he had fallen asleep there just a few hours ago.
Was it mentioned he's in his boxers and an undershirt?

Jun. 24th, 2005 05:07 pmIt's not an especially odd trait, I suppose, but I do enjoy it. It's one of the few things I seem to be able to enjoy without any strings attached. There are, of course, the health concerns related to eating nothing but pie, but I believe I've managed to sneak it into my diet in a respectable, but not dangerous, proportion.
Not that I expect to be working it off any time soon. This place is remarkably free of people who want to kill me. The number who want to talk to me...are similarly absent.
Good for them.

Jun. 24th, 2005 05:23 pmWithout a wand, his magic is limited.
Without her, he's ... just lost.
And today, of all days, is Fleur's birthday, and the least he can do is beg something from the bar. And despite the fact that he'd rather stay hidden -- hibernate up here with her, not face anybody or any thing after all that happened -- he forces himself to do it.
The noises and sights and brightness of the bar hit him and for a moment he just stands inside the door from the stair, blinking, taking it all in. It's almost like the first time he saw the place: entirely overwhelming, and he feels like a stranger here. But slowly, he forces himself to walk in, walk over to the bar, and slide his hands across her surface.
Familiar.
Comfortable.
"Hullo, love," he says quietly. "Can you give me something beautiful for Fleur? It's her birthday, you see."
After a moment where nothing happens, a small box appears. Bill opens it, does a small double-take, and laughs. "Thank you. Thank you very, very much." He tucks it into his pocket and turns to face the other patrons, content just to watch.
He feels like he's missed months.
[Summary: Bill catches up on what he's missed in-bar from Elaine and Snow, what happened in Hogsmeade to Angie, what transpired in Dover with Lucius Malfoy from Tim, and repays his debt to Raven.
Oh, yeah. It's Fleur's birthday, and he and Fleur get engaged.]

Jun. 24th, 2005 07:27 pmSomeday, he would really like to know WHY THE HELL HE DID THAT.
Death could be hard. 6,064 years, five months, and nine days of death could have a funny way of changing a fellow, especially when most of that death was spent wandering alone through a swamp of blood with the cheerful company of skeletal or mangled, bleeding remains with never a hint of anything living. Or sane. Including himself.
But he doesn't want to think about that. He doesn't want to remember the Wraith. The Wraith was not pleasant company. HE--Gorlim--was not pleasant company. He. His dreams. His death. His flesh.
He shivers, though the evening air was warm. The sun falls like honey over him, bleeding through the leaves and oozing over him. Like sap. Like looking out through amber. Sticky and warm and invasively bright. It reflects off the surface of the lake and makes twilight into something garish rather than serene.
He climbs a little higher in the tree.
Anyone looking up would have imagined perhaps someone stuck a scarecrow in the tree and left it there. Perhaps at Midsummer's Eve the unfortunate creature had been stuck there. It would fall apart eventually, turn to straw and sticks and a burlap face.
The scarecrow watched the sunset, watched and waited to turn to stone...*

(no subject)
Jun. 24th, 2005 07:54 pmHe places his room key on the bar, with a quiet, "Thanks, Bar." He's praying he comes back here after everything, but he knows there are no guarantees. After a moment, he's provided with a large cup of coffee, Bar's way of saying good-bye, he assumes. Lord knows, he'll need the coffee to get through this.
He takes a seat at a table not far from the bar, after looking around for people he knows. He has a lot of goodbyes to say before he goes, and he wants to do them early. Kim should be the only one to see him go; a large group, especially of those who know what is waiting for him at home, will only make her suspicious. Only a few more hours; surely he can keep her from finding out about the future until then?
He sips his coffee--not just ordinary coffee, he realizes, an Irish coffee--and waits to spot someone he knows.
[ooc: General goodbyes here, will be starting a separate thread for when Jack actually leaves the bar, which will be for only Kim & Jack. And yes, he'll be back in room 24 soon enough. :-)]

She stops at the Bar and looks at the door waiting for --
The Door. She blinks and the door is still there. She knew it was only a matter of time, she had to return to real life at some point, can't stop time forever. Especially once Tony left...
But she still isn't sure she wants to live out that future, even if she knows that it ends well, at least for her.
Absently, she orders a drink and tries to figure out what to do next.

Jun. 24th, 2005 08:33 pmBehrooz has a mild headache. He looks over at the door as he enters the bar. For some reason, he gets the feeling that if he tried, the door would open, but he suddenly feels a lot more uncertain about leaving. He only orders of glass of water and sits down by himself at a booth.
That was a brilliant idea last night, he thinks bitterly, sipping at the cold water. The dreams hadn't stopped - just now he had a headache, too. And now, if he goes back...
He doesn't look around the bar, just stares at the water, probably feeling more bitter with himself than anyone else.
