Zaphod is sober.

It's a strange sort of feeling for him, and the caffeine and sugar from his coffees are racing around his system, wreaking havoc with no downers to cut them. So his fingers tap nervously on the bar as he leaves two notes:

To Trillian

To Ford

That done, he saunters out of the bar, twin grins on his face barely able to contain the screaming hysteria he feels inside.

A few moments later, a rush of sound signals the take off of the Heart of Gold.

Keep an eye on the papers.

After the duel...

Silk is heading straight back up to his room and collecting his things. He doesn't know if Garion was killed in the explosion and there's only one way to find out.

Back in the bar, he quickly scribbles two notes,
ExpandNote to Belgarath )
ExpandNote to Gimli )

And with that, Silk heads out of the bar.

Crowley looks a little better, perhaps, than the last time he was in the bar. Not so very... disconnected from reality. Of course, he's had a week of having to deal with Life In General - and the kind of Life In General that doesn't precisely allow one to operate on autopilot. Not if you want to remain in possession of all your limbs, anyway.

He has tea, and he's actually drinking it this time, mostly. And even if he doesn't quite seem to be paying particular attention to his surroundings, he is, at least, aware of them.

Baby steps.

Ben came down from upstairs, mostly in search of cigs- his supply had finally run out. Recuperation is difficult without them. Having aquired a box, he made to go back upstairs. Remembering the second poison readily available from the bar, he changed his mind and sat down at the bar.

[Pre-Milliways: Quoted from Part Two, Chapter Nine of Guardians of the West]

The Overlord of the West enters the bar covered in plate mail, road dust, and sweat. He's taller as well, a little sturdier, and the way he holds himself has changed; he's no longer a teenager and it shows in every line of his body. Above his head, the gigantic blue flaming sword swings haphazardly in the air, moving with his gestures as he rants.

"--and I don't want to hear another word about the technicalities of the thing! You're going to--"

And because he's not a dunderhead, or at least not as much of one as he often appears to be, he realizes that he's no longer in a passageway in the hold at Vo Mandor but instead...

"Milliways?"

A bright smile lights his face, reaching his eyes and going, perhaps, even a little farther. He tells the Orb to calm down and puts the sword back in it's sheath and looks around. He's back.

Finally, after so long, he's back.

She's doing much better, as you can see from here, but she's just picked up an issue of Say True. And now she's staring off into space, looking distant and sad and teary-eyed.

Come cheer her up?

A slightly older Garion makes his way behind the bar, writes out the specials in a much neater hand than he had previously, and smiles at the bar in general.

He's glad to be back.

And in time for his shift. The Sendarian in him is proud not to have missed work.

Roast Beef
Pan-Seared Trout

Then he sits back and waits, hoping for some familiar faces.

He'd wanted to say a quick hello to his daughter, coupled perhaps with a little bit of business, but she wasn't in her usual timespan.

He'd followed her, of course, although it meant traveling at several trillion daypers, which is always hell on the hair. And now he finds himself stopping short in a little removed loop of time, just outside the Crunch. In front of a bar.

Colonel Next is currently fortyish, greying, and looking, unusually enough, rather befuddled. Come say hi.
[identity profile] faithful-slayer.livejournal.com
She's not...happy, exactly.

Won't be, for a while.

But she's talked to Garion, so she's a little more relaxed than she was yesterday, at least.

So, Faith, at a booth, with lunch and coffee.
[identity profile] transgenic-max.livejournal.com
Max is sitting in a booth, sipping coffee and watching people. Watching for someone specific once again, but again, it's a little hard to tell with her. She could, and often is, just be curious.

She doesn't seem to be in too foul a mood, though, so bother away.
[identity profile] thursdayn.livejournal.com
The door opens, and in from the Well of Lost Plots comes one Thursday E. Next.

Her wedding ring is appearing and disappearing at a considerably rapid rate today.

It's irritating her, but at least she got some work done.

And now she's sitting at a booth.

Come say hello. Ask about the book. Ask about the flowers. Thursday likes people.

Amanda is in Milliways. Wondering around as if she is looking for someone or something.

The expression on her face is determined and she probably wouldn't notice you unless you talk to her.

There's a merry tune being played.

Robinton's enjoying his afternoon, and so the music is pleasant and lilting.

Bruce sits at the Bar, sipping a drink and thinking. He ponders the physics periodicals nearby and food as well, but isnt in the mood right now fo either. So he continues to sit, and drink, and think.

Yossarian was planning to spend the whole day shut away in his room. It seems safer there. However, Bar has locked him out, and so he's sitting in a corner booth with a very large cup of coffee.

Bar refused to give him firearms. Even when he asked nicely. And then explained seriously, exactly why he needed them.

He still looks very wary. Come say hi if you like paranoia.

Despite the emptiness of the bar, there's an Aeryn, looking tired, yet strangely content. Come chat, or do something silly. Make her spar with you. Insist she plays some silly human game. Anything at all.

At a table very near the Bar, there is a white robed Magius, pouring over several books and drinking very red wine.

His eyes rise from the books now and then to glance around. They are a gleaming silver.
[identity profile] doc-venkman.livejournal.com
Venkman's been around. He's still Bound, but taking a breather from the bar craziness.
Also been thinking of parallel worlds and how the decisions one makes and the events one experiences shapes a person.
A strain of a song filtered through his mind briefly.
"I was so much older I'm younger than that now."

So the single issue of Say True was a bit of surprise.

"...shit..."

He had talked with Meg a couple of times. Once when she was dressed in purple spandex, and another time red with sunburn. Kooky, but nice girl. And some scumbucket shot her.
That was one aspect of NYC he didn't miss. All the crime.
Now it's here too.

He went over to the Bar, "Sweetheart, coffee, good and strong. And surprise me with something good foodwise, none of that weird crap you like to give Ray, though?" The Native style dinner special appeared, along with the coffee. Also an wedding invite. He grinned at that part. Nice to have some good news. And he did ask them to invite him when they decided to get hitched.
"Thanks, Bar." He took his dinner and went to his usual table.

(ooc: back now)

A very young girl with a very large knife (about the length of her forearm) is wandering around the bar again, looking either for friends with mushrooms, or mushrooms with friendly signs. Or a strange elf with a curly hat and a potion.

In any event, she must get small to get through the door, and she needs help to do so.
[identity profile] no-comb-shep.livejournal.com
Sheppard makes his way down into the bar, heading over to order a beer and several sheets of paper. Idly, he begins to fold paper airplanes-some complicated, some simple. Once he's got several made, he sets one flying, watching it to see where it goes.

Why yes, he's bored.
[identity profile] bikes-booze-sex.livejournal.com
Tom's sitting at a table with Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. The Bar thought he'd like it. He hasn't been able to get past the first ten or so pages because he's too restless.

Get his mind off things? Or make things worse? Either one, really.

Agatha has been in her room for the last week, working on a few design ideas she's had. A lack of on-hand materials and prudency telling her to lock her door each night has kept her persistant sleepwalking under control. She's still wondering why she wakes leaning against the door each morning, but the plans keep her mind occupied.

She enters the bar now, dressed neatly. She takes a seat by Bar to have her dinner, occasionally scribbling something in the margins of the notes she brought with her.

Lilly comes downstairs with a pad of paper and heads to the bar, where she receives a note with the coffee she ordered and the plate of healthy snacks she didn't. She reads it, once, and says several swear words in several different languages before picking up her coffee, snacks, and notepad and retreating to a back booth.

She'll be keeping an eye out for Sheila while she works on tomorrow's edition of the Say True... the first one she's editing by herself.
namo: (Default)
[personal profile] namo
Námo comes down the stairs, his long hair pulled back from his face in a simple thong. He wears only black leggings and a navy tunic, cinched at the waist with a belt. Tonight was a new lesson, and he felt long robes and loose hair were not appropriate.

He selects a table, pretty much in the centre of activity, and sits. His eyes glance around the bar occasionally, seeking out his teacher in this.

[OOC: not plot-locked, but please ping at orchydconstyne before tagging in]
[identity profile] underwater-owl.livejournal.com
He's not in the bar, yet.

Not really planning to deal with that.

But he is outside. Curled up at the base of a tree, cloak wrapped tight around his shoulders, eyes shut.

Please not to be offended if he either snaps at or starts crying on you.

OOM: After the break up, Random made a desperate escape, winding up in Arithon's room in the House of Arch. Half a thread later, Random is sleeping and Arithon goes looking for Ramon, whom he finds out in the forest - and curse free. They hurry back to Arithon's room, where Ramon tries to get through to Random, with little success...until he relents a little and allows him to take him back to their room.

[OOC: The OOM where Ramon breaks the curse will be up later, along with some others that help get him to that point. They're Millitimed though, because of breakage for pups and muns alike, and the need to resolve some things. But very soon, hurrah! Plot will be finished! *wipes brow*]

The door slides open, and a grim-looking pilot (who does less and less piloting himself these days, now that he's some kind of fleet commander) enters the bar.

His expression doesn't change much, but if someone were looking closely they might see it relax ever so slightly for a moment- because really, Jag would much rather be in Milliways than his flagship's comm room.

Much more likely to run into certain Jedi here, for one thing.

He's looking around for That Certain Jedi right now, but probably woudn't turn away any other attempts at conversation.

Antigone likes autumn dusks here, when the sky fades into gray and the light passes away and everything is crisp and cold and sharp. Her feet feel icy on the grass, but her hooded sweatshirt does a passable job at keeping the warmth in; she doesn't mind the weather in the least. When she steps inside, her cheeks are pale with chill air and her dark eyes are bright.

She's in the mood to talk.

Sonia enters from the village church. The hunting outfit has officially been retired for a few months; the padded leotard just doesn't fit over the growing bulge in her abdomen.

Realising where she is, she blinks for a moment, then glances over her shoulder, because it really wouldn't help to have anyone see this place. And then she shuts the door.

A few hours of not worrying about villagers would be nice. And a beer.

And ice cream. Ice cream makes everything better.

Cywyllog is in the bar, by the fireplace, curled up in an armchair. This is not unusual. She has tea. This is also not unusual.

What is unusual?

There is a door visible that has not been for some time now.

She hasn't noticed it yet, but it won't be long before she does and she won't hang around, so if you want to talk to her, now's your chance.

Sanchez is back. She's dragged in, once again, in the middle of a rare moment of relaxation. She doesn't mind though. She'd rather not be home. She didn't know why she didn't want to be home, but she didn't. Maybe this was a good thing. Besides the fact that she was in pajamas and looked like shit, she was fairly content.

*She takes a seat at the bar, ordering a beer, a salad, and some fries*

For some reason she's hungry.

*She sits quietly with the occasional pick at her food and just watches everyone else*

Come bother her. She's awful quiet tonight and company would be nice.

Naraht enters from the gardens. He's still somewhat dusty from his stint at plowing and in the mood for some relaxation and pleasant company.

News about Lincoln will also be welcome...or commiseration about the lack of sense in that loveable guy.

He collects his usual granite and finds a black stone with white inclusions on his tray.

"Don't think I'm getting enough trace elements, eh?" he asks Bar with good humor. "Very well, Mommy. I'll be a good Horta."

There is a woman seated at the bar.

Well, he went somewhere, anyway. That's all that can be said for certain, except possibly that Romana wasn't around the Bar either and Ray looks remarkably cheerful right now for a man who's wearing full Ghostbusting uniform, including two traps at his belt. He's got a tinfoil-wrapped package, too, but that's neither here nor there.

Raven settles himself on a couch near the fireplace, carrying a plate of cookies and a cup of hot chocolate.

He watches the flames, for a time, then turns his attention to his notebook.

Occasionally does something not entirely unlike twiddling his thumbs.

Then he eats another cookie.

Watch him long enough, and you'll begin to see the pattern.

You're welcome to provide an interruption, if you like.

A dwarf walks into the Bar and asks for a beer. What he gets is a beer and a note.

He considers it, grunts thoughtfully, and tucks it into his pockets. Then he finds himself a seat, pulls a bunch of slender sticks and a ball of grey yarn from his other pockets, and starts... er...

Well, it sure does look like the leather-clad fellow with the great whacking axe strapped to his back is casting on for a bit of knitting in the round, doesn't it?

Illyria is in the bar.

She hasn't been, lately, not since she met Winnifred Burkle here some days ago, revealing the source of the new memories that had been puzzling her. Since then she'd mostly kept to her own room, avoiding whatever commotion was going on by the lake several nights ago. She felt the grief hanging heavy in the air for those days, and did not wish to know its source.

She had enough to worry about with the knowledge of the crazy girl (who was still in the woods, judging by the newly formed memories she was acquiring now) in her head, and her only follower apparently avoiding the both of them. She had not seen Montparnasse in a number of days, either, and as loath as she is to admit it, she is annoyed by his disappearance. Just annoyed, now - not truly concerned. Yet.

So she is in the bar, at a corner booth, faintly scowling at anyone who passes by.

Bothering the pissy goddess is likely to entertain the mun, at least?

((OOM: Tim resigns. ))

He doesn't storm in. He's not angry, not really. Just...sad. He thought he had a handle on everything, but this time around, well, he just feels like he dropped the ball. Things were great, evreything was awesome... Then it all went to pot.

Tim does something he hasn't done in public for a long time. Carefully, slowly, his fingers rise towards his neck. Slim fingers move quickly, and Tim, well, Tim removes his tie. It's never been a really obvious thing, just a simple black tie to offset the white shirt beneath. But when it comes off, it feels like a big thing. A relaxation he hasn't been allowing himself.

And then his head liftshe listens to Baby tell him of the notes in the office. He chucks the tie across the room, not caring where it lands. Todd. Should've turned him to stone long ago. Should've locked him up. Should've...done something. And now Meg is dead, and all that can be done is... nothing. It's not his job. He can't let himself break the rules.

Damn it.

These past few nights, Caspian has spent this particular hour upstairs, in quiet conference with his son, talking about no-one knows what--remembering Rilian's childhood, mayhap, or discussing what is to be done when he is returned to Narnia's throne.

But tonight, he is not upstairs. Instead, two figures descend from the rooms upstairs, the father, younger now than his son, and the Prince, dressed as is his wont in black.

Caspian looks about for seats, and directs Rilian to the fire before joing him a moment later with tea. Their smiles are very similiar.

The grief and the guilt are still there. He doesn't expect that to change anytime soon. But life--or afterlife, as the case may be--goes on.
