Angelina enters the bar, wearing a white tank top, blue denim shorts and a pair of white running shoes.

She makes her way to the bar and takes a seat, and orders a glass of orange juice and some paradoxes because it's been entirely too long since she had them.

She also gets a piece of parchment and a quill and ink from Bar and starts writing things down. While she writes, she starts humming a song that wizardly types would recognise as "You Charmed The Heart Right Out Of Me" by Celestina Warbeck. If you call her on it however, she will deny it.

Clive was up, he'd been working on the rest of the costumes all night and was almost finished. For the moment however, he was working his way through a heap of waffles that Bar had given him when he'd come down for more supplies.

He took it as a hint and had taken the plate off to a table. Go ahead and talk to him, provided you don't mind talking to someone who's got their mouth full.

The be-masked hero was back, and once again out by the lake practicing with the blades. He only had one of the pair at the moment and was apparently working more on acrobatics than actual fighting.

Though, really, upon closer inspection, even the acrobatics were defensive, even dangerous.

Just make sure not to startle him and you'll be fine.

(at work, same goes for Clive below, typing project, may be able to get posts in depending on how closely I'm being watched)

Mina glides down from her room, humming slightly. She's carrying Jack in her arms. She's decided he needs more exercise, or at least a change of scenery.

Jack is regarding this concept with feline indifference. Napping here, napping there, it doesn't matter much to him either way.

Santino moved into the bar with the usual dancer's (hunter's) steps and settled himself into a table. A rather open table, with several empty chairs for company.

Hair uncut tonight- back to it's full length and majesty- black curls rolling down to nearly sweep his shoulders, the crowning glory his beauty. Jacketless tonight, merely in a white, collared shirt with the top two buttons undone and his usual dark suede pants. Black, well-polished and expensive-looking shoes.

The usual fare.

Somebody's little old grandmother was over by the fireplace, idly petting the duck in her lap.

The duck, it should be mentioned, was green.

How could you tell she was someone's little old grandmother? Well, the little and the old parts were fairly obvious, and just to look at her she's fairly well got 'grandmother' written across her forehead, grandmothers just have that look about them, and she had that look in spades.

She seemed to be babysitting a blanket on the hearth, maybe you should ask what's under it?

Being a sax player without a gig is like being a writer without paper and pen, or being dead without being at rest. He can feel the pull of things, though, in the dark of night when there's no one there and sleep eludes him. Finality sounds a lot like Julia: soft and sad and seductive, and he knows the feeling of time running short or of plans that may or may not ever come to fruition.

But now, by the light of day, he figures it's beyond time to make an appearance. Food, drink: a dead body doesn't need those things, but they're just as comforting as they ever were. He enjoys them sparingly, because his money is almost used up and once that happens he thinks it will be time to leave. Titan Opal: a currency of dreams.

Some dreams are very good ones, though, and Gren smiles at nothing at all, or at all of it, as he takes a seat at a table with a small plate of food and a cup of tea. It's a good day to soak in the feeling of almost alive, but not really dead. After all, he's both at once and yet he's neither one, and that seems to be the story of his existence.

Mike is half-asleep...but lacking in frog pajamas. Which isn't to say that he's not wearing clothing, because he is...it's just the same clothing he's been wearing the last few days. Keeping vigil in the infirmary sort of lends itself to such behavior.

He'd still be keeping vigil, but Mel has urged him to get something to eat and perhaps scavenge some coffee.
Most epic quests begin with but a single step, Mike's started with a sleepy stagger.

But at least there are pancakes.

[OOM. Indy, Mel, and their wards arrive at a floor that is definitely not the garage. Unfortunate events transpire that deny the party a quick return, and a monster of an adventure unfolds as they try and get back. It makes Mel and Indy's recent grab look like a walk in the park.

Rated PG-13 for violence, incredible action sequences and a solitary expletive.]

Is she in a good mood? It's hard to say. She's been in and out of the bar, pacing, bored, twitchy. On edge. Very carefully not watching a door. 

But right now she's outside, back to a tree, and is chain-smoking, watching the lake, expressionless. Orion seems to have picked up on her mood, and is curled by her feet, silent.

Eventually, she lights another cigarette, and shuts her eyes.

Jack slides into the bar, and when he arrives his letter and song from Styx appear.

He reads it with an icy smile, and then folds the note and puts it into his pocket before asking the bar for a paper and pen and sitting down, set to compose a reply.

Very soon he's just daydreaming, not even pretending to write.

Lady Death floats out of the bar to the lake. She sees Truman and says "Now, don't look back, you can never look back, just keep on walkin'."

Once there, she lands on the ground and turns to face the bar, expecting Piper.

Out of Milliways:

Ishamael and Shelley have a peaceful discussion in the garden. Surely, the readers are at least leery of trusting the narration by this point. Afterwards, Ishamael and Abdiel spend some quality time together. And then Ishamael and Shelley speak again before deciding to get some breakfast.

Mark hasn't left the bar since he came in hungover a couple days ago. He's rather giving himself a break. Or he's just being a lazy bum. He does that sometimes.
To riding your bike midday past the three-piece-suits
At the moment, however, he's sitting at a table, leaning back in the chair, feet on the table, with a mug of tea and large plate of fries with ketchup, reading a book. He'd be more than happy to share the fries or tea, but the book's rather personal.

Parker's downstairs, bare feet flat on the floor, flip flops tucked under his chair.

His hair is still damp from a shower earlier, and his skin seems a little darker than usual. It's summer in the desert and he's been spending too much time in the sun.

Company is interesting to him right now.

Tea began as a medicine and grew into a beverage. In China, in the eighth century, it entered the realm of poetry as one of the polite amusements. The fifteenth century saw Japan ennoble it into a religion of aestheticism--Teaism. Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life.

That is from The Book of Tea, and if Lucy had ever read it, she would agree.

As she hasn't, she pours herself a cup without any real thought, and cradles it in both hands as she sits on a couch with two small dragons curled up and dozing in her lap.

Jocasta is in the bar, at the piano, playing a gentle soothing piece, a love song from a recent Plinge Opera.

The idea, mostly, is to keep her mind off the friend in the infirmary, but also practice and to add to the atmosphere.

She plays well, but is unforgiving when she makes a mistake, heading back to the beginning of a movement and starting again. There aren't many mistakes, though.

A few days ago in the bar: Truman meets Blodwen, and the naive nice guy's helpful. Likely *too* helpful.

Anybody stopping out back near the lake, would likely be greeted with a bizarre sight. Namely Truman doing some really odd movements. It seemed to be exercises, or at times, a strange bird's mating dance. Feel free to gawk.

Plourr is on her way to the royal hanger when the door to Milliways takes her by surprise. It's here, though, so why not take advantage of it? Thus, there is a tall woman sitting in a booth with a mug of Sullustan ale, her high brown boots propped up on the opposite booth seat (it's an improvement - at least her feet aren't on the table tonight). She's wearing a long-sleeved, knee-length white dress over purple trousers, with a wide sash of the same royal color wrapped tight around her waist and an equally purple short cape pinned at one broad shoulder by a red brooch. The fact that she is wearing a dress and all this fanciness is strange enough for Plourr, but she also has hair.

Okay, it is bristly auburn stubble, but it's still more hair than she's had in twelve years.

She sits, quiet for once, watching the people around her.

From here: The Door opens, revealing a rainstorm, and out of it stumble two drenched but laughing figures. They Skid to the floor and lay laughing and kissing each other for a long moment before, suddenly, one of them looks up.

His eyes widen.

"Molly... we're back. We're back at Milliways!"

The woman looks up and a soft smile crosses her face.

"We made it."

Then the two grin and go back to kissing.

Cain and Molly have returned to Milliways, wet, tired, and happy.

This was ridiculous. She had tried distracting herself; reading, writing, planning, even a run earlier. Nothing seemed to help. Even now, with a Raslak held loosely between her fingers, Aeryn's eyes always flicked back to the door. She shouldn't be waiting, it was irritating to know that he had that much hold over her. Troubling, when she knew the hurt it would cause.

Moping wasn't a word she would have used to describe herself, so what was this? Aeryn sighed and resumed attempting to read the book in front of her. Her eyes itched.

He's not entirely sure why, but Dworkin is certain tonight that his hands are covered in blood. It's the reason he keeps dropping his quill and wiping his palms on his nightshirt as he writes.

There is, of course, nothing more than sweat and ink on them, but don't tell him that. He'll call you crazy.

*Meg's seated comfortably in a booth, reading.

Home is home is home. For a long time, Spike didn't really have a home: it was either wherever the Syndicate told him to go, or wherever he happened to bed down for the night. Sometimes it was the Bebop, sometimes not. And even when it was the Bebop, that was always moving. Sure, he's from Mars, but he's also a little bit from everywhere he's ever been.

Isn't everyone?

The year and three-quarters he's spent at this place is about the longest he's been anywhere. Even if you don't take all those trips out to Mars and Venus and other asteroids and moons -- and the Bebop itself -- into account, it's still about the longest he's parked his ass anywhere since he can remember. He guesses this is it: it's where he's going to be, and that's okay. Hell, all he wants is to be with Beth. There's no bounties here to chase, no Syndicate guys to get away from, no one gunning for him, no one trying to prove they're better than him, no one muscling in on his territory. Sure, there might be a few people who could stand to have their asses kicked, but he's not on security. He doesn't have to do that, and that's fine by him.

Kicking back at the usual table, he taps out a smoke and lights it, lost in thought. Mostly, it's thoughts about Beth and the places they've been and about how fucking improbable it all is but at the same time, how fucking nice it is. He kind of loves her in this way he didn't know he had inside himself.

Not that he'll go admit that to just anyone. He's realistic: when push comes to shove, people take their first and last breaths all alone, without help from anyone. That doesn't mean the time in between those breaths can't be sweet as hell, though.

Sam inna bar. He's got his dinner, but is currently ignoring it in favour of another very complicated game of cats-cradle with magic.

He certainly isn't preoccupied, and certainly isn't worried about a certain friend of his, or more accurately what said friend's reactions will be to an unfortunate incident the other day.

Someone really ought to tell him his food's getting cold.

A little before sundown, Wells reluctantly makes his way down the stairs. It's an effort of willpower not to bolt for the door- the room is too small, the people too many, the smells too chaotic- but he manages. Instead, he makes his way over to the Bar and looks around for the Barman before asking in a raised voice:

"Are there any Security people about at the moment? I need a favour..."

Melpomene comes down the stairs, almost cautiously. She doesn't believe in magic. But Melpomene is too cynical not to pay attention to the things she hears, and so she's rather reluctant to approach anyone with even a slight glint in their eyes.

This is why, several minutes after the last step, Melpomene can be found in front of the fire, humming almost indistinctly and gripping a cup of coffee tightly. She stares into the flames like there's a code there, something she urgently needs to read. But she's not finding it.

Guppy is in a booth near the trilobite tank, with a large black cat at his feet.

He is looking in particular for someone who he thinks might be able to explain why he is now only dreaming of passive things like sheep and ants. It's not that he minds the nightmares being gone, he'd just rather like to know what happened to his brain.

Scampi on the other hand is looking out for a certain rival black cat.

But neither will turn away other company. Come bother them.

Jack comes in to the bar, right arm snaking behind his back in the kind of move a contortionist would make.

Fucking mosquitoes always have to bite him at the one worst possible spot.

Taking a seat at the bar he sits stiffly, trying to ignore the raging itchiness between his shoulder blades. Luckily, Bar helps in that regard, giving him coffee and a book: Criminal Investigation Detachment. Skimming the back, Jack shrugs. Lead character who's ex-Special Forces, ex-Delta (a "legend", of course, never mind Delta Force's penchant for secrecy); became a civilian cop after the death of his wife, but returned to the Army after September 11th... What the hell. He could use a good read, even if it's probably nothing more than a standard suspense potboiler.

That opinion might have changed after about ten minutes, though, by which time the English Lit major in his heart is itching to get its hands on a red pen.

Distract him from the book, please. Before he starts twitching.

It's one of those posts.

There's a spoilerific and mildly tipsy Desmond in a booth, sketching something that might be a snowglobe, only that's silly, right?

Another booth has a Hawkeye, with a glass of scotch and a newspaper from home -- it's amazing what Bar'll give you.

At a table by the noticeboard is Wes, copying English words from the various signs and seeing how much he can translate without checking the primer. (Answer: not many. Rose is watching from the next table over, smirking slightly at each mistake. It's great being able to read anything. Yay TARDIS!)

Ben's at the Bar with a chocolate milkshake -- that's not changed after three years, apparently. He's stealing occasional curious glances at an uneasy man nearby, though: Fi's wandered in wearing his off-duty clothes and without his brothers, but he figured he'd have a glass of fruit juice anyway. (And why not, eh?)

The door at the back of the broom cupboard seems to be fairly reliable, for which Amy is frightfully grateful. So she's back tonight, having left the crown and most of the jewels at home (though still dressed rather grandly), carrying a letter in one hand and large paper wrapped bundle under her arm.

The letter is left with Bar, for Caspian, since the owls to the House seem to be . . . away?

And then Amy gets tea, and cookies, and settles happily at a table.
