The door's opening produced a thin woman in her mid-thirties, wearing a red robe with a high hood.

(fire on the hemisphere)

It was very, very hot behind her, and it's relaxing to step into this ... well, bar, apparently.

The afterlife has colors.

And many many people.

Including a pair of familliar people -- and, without a second thought, hood still up, Mary O'Brien goes to join them.

oom: Finishing the house.

A hobbit walks into the bar, and that's all he is again, a hobbit.

Smeagol orders a beer and a proper hobbit-sized dinner full of grease and carbs and everything a growing hobbit needs to get wider than he is tall, which is a noble endeavour for his race, so more power to him. He sits down at a table and begins to eat.

Oh, and he looks surprisingly happy. Especially for him.

Eventually, he picks his plate up and takes it under the table. No particular reason.

The familiarity is nice.

No storytime, fairy dust mumbo-jumbo here. Cypher hasn't been in the bar the last couple of days. He hasn't been out of the bar either; he's been upstairs in his room, presumably keeping "busy." Give the red-rimmed eyes and the five o'clock shadow, guesses probably wouldn't be hard.

He sighs as he settles onto a stool, a lit cigarette already in his left hand, and with that hand he rubs his eyes as he mutters something to the bar. It serves up something that's either seltzer water or a gin and tonic. Garnished with lime either way. Lime makes everything better.

Then he gets the note from Ramon. His eyes close and his right hand clenches around the glass.

"Shit." He lets out a chuckle, eyes opening in cynical realization."That wily sonavabitch."

Giles had spent the post-battle days resting and recovering. Even though the advanced medical equipment left him feeling more physically whole and fit then he had for ages. He was now in the bar with a book, doing some light reading. (Mediaval history if you must know)
And yes, there's a pot of tea by him so having his usual cuppa.
He gave some cursory glances around the bar. A lot of new arrivals of late.
Hmmm... They tend to occur in waves, he wondered why that was.

Niobe- Captain of the Logos, and soldier of Zion
briskly,and efficiently climbs into her designated ecto-chair.
She mindlessly adjusts her ponytail as she lays back against the headrest.
The familiar twist and crank of the ecto plug just short of drills into her input, a sensation that any soldier will tell you-is never something you quite truly adjust to or welcome.

The mind disconnects from the body
filtering the essence through a screen of technology.

The familiar sensation of vinyl wraps around her body as her presence manifests, viewing the world through a darkened lense of her sunglasses.

But....she's not at her drop point......a door? even her thoughts are muttering "shit" and cautiously, hand on the hilt of her gun prowls through the door.

Scrooge has decided to take a look outside the bar. There's the lake he already heard so much about, and in the distance he can see the hills. He smiles to himself. With some luck, those might be his next destination. He wanders off to the stables, and pets one of the horses. They look pretty reliable. There don't seem to be a lot of people out here, and he can't blame them. At least inside the bar it's nice and warm. He wonders if there's some around here who knows something more about the caves in the hills. Something more than that they carry minerals.

Still, even if the minerals aren't valuable, he could still go up there. Do a bit of mining, see if the old duck's still got it. It'll be an adventure.

But in the mean time, he needs to find someone who knows more about the hills. Although someone else to talk to would be nice too, it'd pass the time.

River was outside, earlier. Riding Boukephalos. Her hands are icy now, and her cheeks a little flushed, and she looks a good deal more relaxed than she did when she slipped through the door and made her way out to the paddocks.

Now she's sitting on the floor with hot chocolate, tucked against the side of an armchair.

There's a demon sprawled in one of the armchairs by the fireplace, looking as witty, dashing, and charming as ever. Also, um, asleep.

He's had a long, crappy day, dammit. And the cold makes Crowley sluggish, sleepy. And the fire's very warm, and, well... he's basking.

His sunglasses are slipping down his nose, and his legs are stretched out in front of him, more than far enough to trip people up. Nobody'll be angry, though, because he looks just that adorable.

It's the quiet, hissing snores.

So cute.

Once more, Tim is in the bar. Like he is every night. But tonight, he has an Idea. This, of course, is a Very Bad Thing.

So, when he glides up to the bar and whispers to her "I need 36 silver rings please." she if, of course, rather hesitant to give them to him.

"No, really, it's okay. This is for christmas." and still he gets nothing.

"Please? Trust me, you'll like this." With something of a inanimate sigh, a bag of silver rings appears. Tim pats her happily.

"Thanks love, you won't regret it!"

And he glides to a table, bag of rings in hand. Silver rings for christmas. Maybe Tim took one too many hits from a demon?

Spike takes the steps three at a time, not because he's in a rush, but because why do anything slowly? Live for the thrill, that's it. And now that he knows that the lovely miss Summers is in the bar, he feels less compulsion to leave quickly.

But at the base of the stairs, he stops, glancing around the bar. What to do tonight? Do you have any ideas?

Neither rain nor sleet nor snow can keep Liam from his morning routine. It can, however, put him in one hell of a surly mood. So, when the big redhead walks in the door from the lake? Big ol' scowl on his face.

He stops by the bar long enough to grab some warm brandy and bread before heading to his table. Give him a minute or two to warm up, and he'll most likely be in a much better mood.

Tahiri hasn't been hanging out in the main part of the bar much lately. Most of her time is spent either outside running through lightsaber exercises or upstairs huddled under the thickest blanket she can find.

Any temperature less than about 85º F (or 30º C) just doesn't feel right to her (oh how she misses Tatooine), but it's not quite enough to drive her back to Ossus. Not when there's a vent crawler around to annoy.

But the robeskin socks aren't doing anything for her poor freezing toes. Finally, she walks downstairs to Bar and asks for something to keep them warm.

Her reward? A pair of slippers that look like wampa feet.

So now she sits in a booth with her usual hot chocolate and a hot breakfast, swinging her feet back and forth and sometimes grinning down at them as if wondering what her Yuuzhan Vong friends back home would think if they saw her wearing a plush animal's feet as if they were implants.

She comes like a stealth ninja in the night down the stairs.

Oh wait, nevermind. She's not very stealthy when wearing a bright pink jacket and fuzzy boots. And her hair in little poumpoms on her head. So really, she's bounding down the stairs none too gracefully and wanders over to the bar where she orders a cup of English Breakfast tea and a plate of waffles with strawberries on top.

Yum. Come and prod the Samantha!

Because the mun needs a cheerful pup today, there is an Anoia in the bar.

She was in a booth and very nearly blindingly bright. Her apron was sequined, varying shades of blue and silver and really made her look a little bit like the back of an Alhambra water delivery truck.

She still had snowflakes in her hair, though they were reflective and blue as well, if one looked closely enough, the light wasn't really reflecting off of her as much as it was coming from her. Goddess and all.

She still had a good-sized pile of ribbon-tied bundles on the table, and was almost at the point where she would simply chuck them at whoever passed by. Almost, but not quite.

...she wasn't exactly expecting a bar.

It reminded her of that bar she'd entered at the Crossings that one time, though she knew it wasn't that one from the first glance. Despite being chiefly concerned with her survival and the alien creatures that were attempting to blast her into a crispy critter, she was pretty sure this was a different place.

For one thing, there were more humanoids.

That being said, she wasn't exactly concerned with that so much as why she was in a bar when she had something Very Important she was working on and limited time to work on it (being as there was school tomorrow). A turn of her head brought Spot into view, all legs out and more than a few eyes peering around curiously.

"Was this where we were supposed to be going?"

"No. These are not the coordinates we put in."

"I didn't think so. So, uh, where are we then?"

The computer was silent a moment to work on the answer before--

"Uh-oh."

She spins, picking up her computer with something between irritation and worry. Her voice is only a little shrill, though.

"'Uh-oh?' What's that supposed to mean?"

The Door bangs open, a gust of cold, wet wind slipping in. Through the door is visible a dark and stormy night. Lightning cracks across the view for a moment, and thunder rolls loudly as a traveler and his horse come into the bar. The traveler glances up as they enter.

*He is wrapped in a dark heavy traveler's cloak and rides a tall, shaggy roan horse with a long nose and flat, vicious eyes. The traveler is a big man, a bigness of large, heavy bone and ropey tendon rather than of flesh. His hair is coarse and black and at some time his nose has been broken. He rides easily, but with the particular alertness of the trained warrior.*

The big roan horse shuddered absently, shaking the rain out of his big shaggy coat, and his steel shod hooves came to a halt as they both stared at the tavern that had suddenly materialized as they came through the city gates.

The sudden burst of light and sound makes both horse and man flinch, and then the man looks around slowly, his eyes flat and his expression blank. He places a hand calmly on Faran's back and the action calms the horse, who still wickers softly as the two look around. As he moves, his cloak parts to reveal a heavy silver amulet hanging on a chain about his neck.

His coarse voice speaks only one word.

"Magic."

Faran tosses his head in agreement.

Sir Sparhawk, Pandion Knight, Champion of his kingdom, and extremely tired man, has arrived at Milliways.

Ray meant to go home to sleep last night, for various reasons, but when Egon saw how pale and wobbly Ray was, he essentially pushed Ray right back into Milliways. It's not a good time of year to expect a full night's sleep and Ray's not recovered enough from the battle yet to make that worthwhile. Soon, but not just yet.

So the short version is that he comes down from upstairs instead of in from the front door. He's back to the cargoes- his leg's not hurting him any more- but the black T-shirt is still the loose, easy-fitting one, as his shoulder's a little cranky yet. Doesn't stop him from getting a decent bowl of oatmeal and a cup of hot chocolate that smells like it wants to leap out of the mug and set someone on fire, though.

Now to find somewhere to eat breakfast. There's a nice table over there. That'll do.

Despite having died two days ago, things are much better than they could be. The slight paranoia of fire will probably last forever, but everything else is good.

She's sitting on a couch, now, reading Thomas Gaddis' Birdman of Alcatraz, with a bowl of fruit by her side and a very young Bernese Mountain Dog in her lap.

Every now and then, she slips Ludwig (the dog) a grape.

That kind of thing is enough to drive a guy bugnuts, so he's gone up to his room, retrieved his training drone, and is on his way to go practice for a while. Since he is not entirely mad, he's going to an empty room on the ground floor- the one he's going to rent from Bernard for Australian Indoor-Rules Quidditch.

For the first time in (months) a week, Morgan walks down the stairs and into the bar. A simple enough thing, one done many, many times, but something is a little different this time. Her walk is still the same, still graceful and nearly a dance…but now she’s not watching where she puts her feet. Though physically she hasn’t aged, the months and months in the Dreaming still put their stamp on her face and she looks a bit older, a bit calmer.

The girl is also nearly glowing, with health, with the life growing within her, and with the fact that her boyfriend said that he loved her.

All in all, today seems like a good day when Morgan walks over to the Bar to order some tea and breakfast. But along with the tea and bread and cheese a book appears, one with a pink-and-white cover. Looking at the book with a bemused expression on her face, once she’s finished her food she moves over to the couch by the fireplace to study the book in depth.

It’s a book on pregnancy, and as she reads the bemused look deepens and deepens until she starts reading the book upside.

Well, it makes just as much sense that way.
