When River steps into the bar, she's silent and subdued, as she has been most of the day. Her hair hangs over her face, tangling down her back, and her fingers twitch in tiny absent jerks against the air. She drifts towards a booth -- in one of the corners, shadowed, with a good view of most of the room -- but where she eventually ends up is a different booth. Also shadowed, and unoccupied, but this one doesn't have as clear a view. You can't see the front door from it.

She slides underneath, and curls up against the wall, a gawky huddle of limbs inside her long brown coat.

[Millitimed to this morning.]

Coming downstairs, with the baby wrapped up in a blanket in a carrier in her arms, purse around her elbow, Very Fine Red Hat upon her head, Sheila of Glamorgan, someday to be Sheila Williams, makes her way toward the door.

And she ruffles Jay's peachfuzz hair, murmuring something about the laundromat.

Of course they'll get there, because that door always opens into the S-Mart backlot, in 1996, Dearborn, Michigan.




But this time, it doesn't.

Rachel paced. It had been a bad day since the get go, but for others, she had just been incidental...and now, she could feel another storm rising. Burning and twisting in the air with the feel of an electric storm, lingering on the tongue like blood. She hardly noticed when her steps turned her away from the wall and started her back towards the other, flame wreathing and dancing at every footfall.

Something...something...

She knew when he hit the lake, how could she not? The lake was her center here, her heart and soul at times...and yet she held back. It was...his right to choose. To see his breaking points...

He could die...

She had faith in him.

So her pacing stopped and her gaze almost seemed to burn through the air as she waited, counting heartbeats, or bubbles perhaps...

It wasn't quite summer yet in New York, but it was close enough. The weather had been clear and hot, but thankfully hadn't quite reached the point where it was oppressive. That said, a change for the cooler wasn't unwelcome, and when the front door opened to reveal the t-shirt-clad form of April O'Neil, the wry quirk to her lips suggested she was pleased enough to step over the threshold into the familiar confines of Milliways Bar.

She'd been around, but rarely for more than a few minutes together, generally simply checking in or using the bar as a way station between her New York and late-1800s London. Today, though, April thought she'd linger awhile, if only to take note of the growing sea of unfamiliar faces, and perhaps see a few familiar ones, as well.

Seating herself at the bar, she ordered coffee -- Large, with lots of sugar and cream, and Bar still knew just how to make it -- and opened the copy of the New York Times that had been tucked under her arm.


[OOC: It's been awhile; please feel free to interrupt her!]

The twins were back in the bar once again. They were solid for once, as opposed to the half-solid that they'd been for the past few days.

They were however. Green. Not just a little ill looking, but actually green, all over. Clothes, hair, skin, everything.

Given as how calmly they were playing chess it was hard to say whether they hadn't noticed, or had and didn't care.

Wells has been up since a little before dawn, as usual for him. Annie, he figures, will be down later. For now he's got a notice to stick up on the board:

Those of you who're coming with Harry Wells to Gruinard Island- I've got the mission briefings and group assignments ready. We need to go over logistics and capabilities before anyone goes anywhere.

The squad assignments are listed (as per this post), and the note is signed 'Harry Wells'. He's not going to call himself a sergeant when attacking a British military installation is on the menu, thanks.

That having been done, it's time for breakfast.

Part of the fun of Shadow-walking is the very fluid nature of time. It's been a while since she's come into the bar, so when Fiona opens the door she just blinks for a moment.

Out on the lake, there is a pretty bird drifting lazily along, seemingly unaware of sharks or any other large tentacled creatures that might be lurking below.

A cormorant, to be exact.

Of course, this is Milliways, so it could be the Devil. Or an Angel.

Or both.

Regardless, bits of bread would not be shunned.

The back door opens to admit the Ranger. The filly he brought to Milliways a few days ago gambols at his heels. She is much cleaner, has filled out slightly and seems to have pretty much accepted him as her "mother".

The Ranger heads over to the Notice Board to put up a sign of his own. An identical copy already hangs in the stables.

Attention Horse Owners

I am currently seeking both stud and broodmare services.
Generous compensation will be given as well as the personal satisfaction of helping to save a noble species from extinction.
If interested, notes may be left at the Bar addressed to "Anla'shok Spero", or you may simply track me down.


The notice is signed with a picture of a Ranger's badge. If you touch it, a small hologram of the Ranger appears.

That business taken care of, it's time to prepare for more business. The Ranger finds a quiet table and orders mare's milk and blood oranges from a passing waitrat.

No, he still doesn't see anything wrong with having the horse in here.

While this place certainly was odd, that did not mean it was interesting even a considerable amount of the time. Thus, Lyrae Addam was sitting by the fire with a cup of tea and a book of biographies of famous Aes Sedai of the Second Age, a particularly dry read but one that she was rather fond of, still.

In summary, a fairly tall woman of ambiguous early twenties age in a simple blue dress reading a book by the fire while sipping tea.

Lust walks into the bar, carrying another two (or it might be the same two, you never know) footlockers that slosh very very quietly as they swing. Her arms don't strain, but the momentum they display tells observant onlookers there's something in them.

She takes them up the stairs (which groan slightly under the weight), then after a few minutes returns.

Gavroche... may have been avoiding spending time alone in the House of Arch, lately. He's there for his lessons, and to eat meals and sleep, but during his free time, he's been where there are people - in the common areas of the House, in the stables, in the bar.

This would be one of the times he prefers the bar, and the Bar, where there are lots of people and he can see the whole room.

Milkshake is a bonus.

She'd like conversation, but might be a bit jumpy.

To garnish, place half-empty (or half-full) glass of water on the floor next to the couch, in easy reach.

A look at him might excuse his prolonged absence; his complexion is even paler than usual, and his eyes are perhaps a bit too bright.

Roy Mustang has been sick for the past couple weeks or so, and he suspects that he knows why. Damn that Elric boy... Even if Roy is starting to get better and is probably no longer contagious, he's still irritated.

Right?

He still practiced; blades and bending, beautiful and deadly. He worked barechested into the evening; bending took more out of a man then a simple swing of the sword did, so he did that first in the afternoon, and then picked up his blades and worked through rhythmic, graceful kata through the evening.

That may be why, although Zoe has staked out a couch for herself, and has hot chocolate, she's not looking all that relaxed or comfortable.

Or maybe the uncomfortable part is just because of, you know, the almost-nine-months-worth of baby she's still carting around.
