The Narnian king content of the bar has increased by one, the one in question being Tirian.

He looks perhaps a bit more tense and guarded than is usual, and is watching the rest of the bar with interest as he sits near the fire.

[OOM: A lot has happened in the last few days. In the wake of events following Coyote's death, along with Dream's argument with Destruction and subsequent discussion with Moiraine, the Aes Sedai has been spending a lot of time in her upstairs study considering things-- and searching for options and answers. Occasionally, there are visitors, including these two:

First, a rapping Raven comes to the door, evidently for conversation, cookies, and tea.

And then later, Merriman Lyon arrives-- bearing grim news, frankly relayed.]

[OOM: First, there was this, where Mary Anne gets the crap smacked out of her by an angry Vala. Then, Gorlim came to Námo post date with Ruin. (Said date has been handwaved by the muns but the events are made clear in the OOM.)

After a little sleep, Námo wakes up, sick as hell, and he and Gorlim have a small chat before heading back to bed. Warnings in the first thread for some minor violence.]

[After Moiraine speaks with Merriman and Raven in her study, she gets one more visitor.

This results in Moiraine and Cooper heading out of Milliways, and into Twin Peaks, for dinner at the Great Northern. At one point they're interrupted by a Calvinist carp, and then they're further interrupted, after the carp (better known as Ben Horne) missteps. Severely.

Cooper escorts Ben away, and then is informed that he's no longer welcome at the Great Northern Hotel.

He doesn't let it ruin the evening, though; he and Moiraine finish dinner, and then go to Upper Twin Park to discuss ostriches, fundamentalists, situational ethics, and Cary Grant before returning to Milliways.

And then Cooper changes lodging.]

Because he hasn't, in rather a while.

Or rather... well, it may not have been that terribly long, really, when it comes down to it, but solid facts are never nearly so persuasive as the feelings in the spaces surrounding them. This place has done rather more to convince him of that than most, perhaps. It feels like a dreadfully long time since he's been here.

Aziraphael is sat on a sofa by the fire, earl grey to hand, nose buried in a dusty hardbacked book.

There are notes left with the bar, for Archie, Sharpe, Mary and Jack Sparrow, that pretty much all say

Santino emerged into the bar, this time armed with his leather jacket. He looked far less complete without it. Hair cut as short as Santino would dare see icon.

Seat at an open, visible table. Moved there with the same perfectly placed dancer's steps.

Obviously, company was very welcome.

Because he's 28 today - or would be, if that whole pesky death thing hadn't stopped the aging process - Doyle is in the bar, celebrating with steak, potatoes and half a glass of beer.

He'll find a way to get rid of the smell before he sees Cordelia again.

He also has, provided by bar, a slice of cake with a candle in it.

Conversation is welcome.

A jeep went through Colonel Blake's tent.

Father Mulcahy still doesn't entirely understand it, but the colonel seems to be alright, if rather shaken, and so Mulcahy makes his way back to his tent, sliding his glasses off his nose as he opens the door--

And promptly puts them back on.

There is a moment of blinking from the bathrobe-wearing priest, and then he smiles quietly and makes his way over to the Bar, taking a seat on a stool and ordering a hot drink. He sits and sips at his coffee, looking around with bright interest.

Wedge wanders into the bar, for once not in uniform. He'd be a lot happier if he was. Insteady, he cuts a colorful figure in a creamy tunic and green hose, boots, and belt, and a dark green cloak trimmed with that creamy off-white. Even his belt carries an unfamiliar accessory next to the usual blaster - a semicircular bit of gagetry, with numerous holes.

Wedge seems utterly unaware of how he looks. He's tired, frustrated, and has just come from one of the most depressing and disheartening interviews he's ever had the misfortune of walking into.

In short?

He is a man in serious need of a drink.

Thank the Force this is a bar and not a day spa.

Outside, which is sunny and windy, Winter sits on the ground, reading a datapad, and dipping her toes in the lake.

She looks very, very relaxed. That is not to say, however, that if you were to sneak up on her, that she wouldn't be able to kick your ass anyway.

Steph's spent the morning curled up in a seat by the fire, with a notepad and pen.

The fire's a lot more choked with paper ash now than it was at the start of the day - even the cardboard backing of the notepad's in there, smouldering quietly. Just one sheet of paper's survived.

It's being placed on the Bar now, with the whispered injuction "For Billy, okay? And - and - no, that's all. Thanks." She runs a hand lightly over the wood as the note vanishes, and sighs.

Note for Billy )

She abandons the pen on Bar and goes to the piano, then. She's been practicing, quietly, and although she'll never make a living from it, at least the music's bearable this time. Well, mostly. If she didn't keep stopping to turn pages, and then stopping again whenever she gets to a tricky chord or phrase, anyway.

Narcissa is downstairs this afternoon, over near the observation window. Pacing. And being, in general, very Not Happy.

[Pre-Milliways: Never Enough]

The door opens, as it is inclined to do on occasion, and a woman stumbled in. Her eyes were red with tears, and her cheeks damp. Her long dark hair was tangled. Her simple grey silk dress was torn and bloodied.

A few long, gasping breaths as words failed her.

Where was she? This was not the Trolloc encampment where... She shuddered violently and blinked away the remaining tears in her eyes. How was she here?

Another few calmer breaths.

Karen enters the bar and glances around for husband or brother-in-law.

Preferably husband. Brother-in-law's nice enough--but husband's much nicer.

Butters told me that playing the guitar would be good therapy for my hand. Unfortunately, didn't bring the guitar along with me. So, I figured I'd ask the bar if she could loan me one. She did - she even included a copy of the book Butters had given me. "Thanks."

So now, I'm sitting in a corner, in a comfortable chair, playing the guitar... badly.

So far, Thomas is the only person who's ever been able to tolerate the sound longer than a couple minutes without asking me to stop. And I think he's just being polite.

[OOM: Tragedy strikes at the Species Restoration Project.]

The Door opens to admit the Ranger.

However, this is a somewhat unusual arrival for him. His normally pristine robes are dusty and smeared with blood. And, slung across his shoulders, he is carrying a dapple-grey foal which cannot be more than a few days old. It flicks its bottle-brush of a tail and neighs in suprise. Obviously, the scenery has changed far more abruptly than it is used to.

The Ranger is also quite startled by his arrival.

"I'm sorry, but I do not have time at the moment," he says in Bar's direction and turns around...to find a blank wall where the Door once was.

"..."

After a moment of staring at the wall, he turns once more and strides over to Bar.

"I will not even attempt to argue with you, my dear," he says as he gently sets the foal down. It staggers for a moment on its spindly legs before it finds its balance.

"But, since you have called us away from where we had food for this one..."

A couple of large bottles with elongated nipples appear on Bar's countertop. "Thank you," the Ranger says as he collects them. "I trust you had a good reason for this. I only hope it becomes clear soon."

The foal seems willing to be guided by a gentle hand placedo on its withers. Once or twice, her startles at a patron or passing wait rat, but calms when the Ranger gives her a certain look. In a few moments, the Ranger finds a quiet corner and settles down in a chair to offer the hungry filly the milk. As she suckles, he strokes her neck and ponders the question of why in Valen's name he's been brought here now.

He doesn't seem in the least perturbed by the fact that he's feeding a baby horse in the middle of a bar.

Quinn is not much good at idleness or quiet, as much as he might like to be. He's here because he needs to talk to Lando, to get the supplies bought; beyond that there's really very little holding him. For all that time on the other side of the Door hasn't stopped, he still worries that his people need him home, soon. The only thing that's ever pushed worry away has been planning, and when that hasn't been available, hard work. He's done enough planning over the past few days to choke a pig, so- work it's been, mostly around the stables. Can't leave Ross's quarters untidy, after all, or the beast un-exercised.

But now even that part's done, and supper too, so all he's really got is the sense of worry that's propelled him for a very long time. He's taking that out back for a nice long walk somewhere just between the lake and the treeline. Maybe the evening air will take the edge off.

Sarah was in the bar, working on a crossword puzzle over at one of the small tables near the observation window, sitting sideways across the chair, tapping the pen she was using against the edge of her jaw.

Her feet were bare, her jeans were well-worn, and her shirt was pink and had stamp-print text that said: "It's not pink, it's light-ish red."

Someone go tell her that the word she's looking for is 'score' she's overthinking again.

Despite the solid icon, the Twins weren't quite as solid as they usually were.

They'd gotten over the complete ghosting of the other day however, and were mostly solid again, aside from the hair which was ghostly and writhing every which way.

It didn't seem to bother them however, as they worked on a game of dominoes, occasionally scanning the bar over each other's shoulders, just to make sure everything was as it should be.

Mary Anne's lounging in a booth nursing a glass of tequila. It's not a particularly bad night, just a proven medicinal fact that tequila helps bruises heal faster. And she is sporting a rather nice one along her cheek and jaw.

Come say hi. She'll be happy to extoll the healing properties of alcohol, or talk about pretty much anything else.

Hannah came in with an armload of books tonight -- it's almost time for finals, even though it's totally unfair to have to take a final exams for a school you didn't go to for most of the year. Like she has any idea what they did last fall.

The bar is probably not the best place to be doing her French homework, but it's certainly more interesting than the library.

Mary Lennox is sitting at a table, her feet dangling a few inches above the floor, going through one of Colin's books on gardening.

Her face is smudged and dirty, but her hands are clean; she'd washed them beforehand, to be sure not to get dirt on the book.

The book clearly holds great interest for her, but she glances up warily every few minutes for all that. Milliways is not a safe place. Not while there are witches about.

The door opened a moment ago-- maybe you didn't see it. That's understandable in a place like this, where there are too many comings and goings already, too many openings and shuttings.

And anyway, this door is comparatively little-used: It only opens onto the lake.

Antigone is standing in the doorway, looking thin and pale in her (still) dirtied, (still) rumpled dress. Her face and hands are clean now-- probably washed in lakewater once she'd gotten up the courage, her distress is not so great now as it was-- but her hair is still a little wild with old tangles, and her feet are bare.

She hangs back, leaning lightly in the doorframe, and it is almost as if she were back at one of those interminable balls in Thebes, waiting for the music to begin so that she can slip unnoticed past the dancers.

For the first time in ENTIRELY too long, it is a Gorlim. On the couch. Very much asleep. On his lap is a dark-haired girl some eight or nine months old, and at his side is a cup of tea, forgotten by its original benefactor, now being happily dabbled in by the infant. While her father naps, she is contentedly sticking her fingers into the milky substance and sucking at them.

Her papa looks for all the world like a nap is the best thing for him, but the baby is as cheerful and personable as anything. Come bug them both!

Raguel is out by the lake, staring out across it at the woods on the opposite side. He's put his sword down for the moment to stretch out his arms and his aching leg, which seems to be worse this evening than it's felt in a while.

It's strained from last night, he figures, bending his knee and trying not to wince. He's already worn out from stabbing at the air and saluting and drilling the same repetitive movements over and over - the few that he can perform on the ground, anyway. He's ready to get into the air.



Well. Best to get back at it, then.

Melpomene is sitting in the bar.

She is going through a thick book of old and yellow pages and looking a little bit nostalgic. This, for Mel, means an occasional twitch of the mouth and eyes that are slightly less dry than the Sahara desert in August. But still.

She examines each page with care, spending several minutes on each, as if recalling something beautiful. Maybe she is. Care to find out?

Ray's feeling better, more or less, but he's pretty sure he's not entirely up to snuff just yet. He comes down from upstairs- no way is he staying anywhere near the infirmary- and finds himself a decently lighted table where he's got a good view of as many people and as much stuff going on as possible.

What? If you were a New Yorker who was forcibly isolated in the howling wilderness of God Only Knows Where The Hell This Is, Montana, you'd be wanting all the reassurance you could get too.

... anyway. Ray's got dinner (it's tacos, and they're artificially seasoned clear to hell and back, and he likes it JUST FINE that way thank you), and the green stuff in a glass, and his holocomputer. He's alternately eating and going over an insanely complicated holographic diagram of some kind of molecular structure.

Bother him anyway.

Ten years ain't so kind, out in the dry hot winds and the dried up plains and the low lying houses of Texas, and Jack's smile don't come quite so easy now as it used to. The blue eyes are a little faded, the hat is different, new. He's grown stockier, and the mustache he's taken on gives his face a heavier look. Older.

It takes him a minute to recognize the place he's in, and when he does, something tightens, a little, in his jaw, and something sparks in the blue of his eyes--maybe interest, maybe not.

And then he shrugs a bit, turns to close the door to Childress, and heads on into the bar.
