The crew's been on Muir the past few days. It's been a pretty relaxing time; most of it's been spent either at Keane and Phoebe's house or Annie's stables, with pauses for home-cooked food that, if not the best out there, has been served with great enthusiasm by Wash's parents.

But this is the Serenity crew we're talking about here.

It's probably not much of a surprise, then, that things just got a lot more interesting an hour ago.

So enter one rogue spaceship captain, slamming the door behind him. Without pausing for food or casual conversation, Mal makes a beeline to two people seated at a table: Ace and Raven. A hurried exchange follows, and Ace jumps to her feet, Raven not far behind.

They sweep out as fast as he came, and there's a quick glimpse of the ship's front hall before the door shuts behind them.

Bruce sits at a stool at the bar, tapping away at his laptop, humming under his breath. He is writing notes on an article he read. He is distracted, however, by thoughts of past, present, and future. He smiles wryly and takes a sip of his drink before going back to his notes.

[[ From Here ]]

Mace Windu, in a state of undress that almost violates the rules, with bruises and superficial burns over about 2/3 of his body, makes his way across the bar proper to the Infirmary. He is hauling a KO'ed Boba Fett behind him.

Mace Windu: bruises and superficial burns over 2/3 of his body, painful, but only life-threatening if left untreated.

Boba Fett: broken rib, cauterized shallow cuts on arm and leg, ugly bruise around waist, a few other bruises around. Again, painful, but only life-threatening if left untreated.

Mace is conscious, Boba is not.

The Jedi won the duel. Sort of.

Point of the fact of the deal is, Brian. Inna bar. By a bar. Onna bar? Not yet. But, cider, so. Give him time.

She has been in the woods for quite some time, now. Simply waiting, although not
entirely certain what it is she is waiting for. All she knows is that for now, she is here. Near the Dreaming she need not even worry about reality. It holds enough, where dream touches land.

What's in the news today? I'll tell you what's in the news today...

Nothing. Yet. But Knox is determined to get info about this Blodwen person (albeit carefully, if she's really that Bad). But the question is, how to do this?

So for now, Knox sits at a table, tapping his fingers and thinking and hoping that he can get somewhere soon. (At least he doesn't have to worry about anyone else scooping him.)

Anoia had returned, and she'd returned with a bang.

Or as much of a bang as she ever did, which was a girlish squeal and a giggle and quite a bit of bouncing. She flounced her way over to the bar, grinned when she was supplied with rainbow-striped plaid petit fours, and shimmied her way over to a table, looking around for someone, anyone really, who might need a spatula.

The petit fours were bait, see?

A man in a cream-white tunic and green hose, boots, cloak and belt slips into the bar and stops cold. He might be surprised. He might be horrified. It's hard to tell, what with the lavender mask over his face.

Don't blame him, it wasn't his idea.

Neither was coming here, come to think of it, but the more distance between him and that Force-forsaken planet with it's sithspawn bastard of a diplomat, the happier he'll be.

(ooc: So, I thought I'd be here for the rest of the night, but I just got a call to head into the lab, so I'm begging slowtime for all threads. I'll be back in a couple of hours. Sorry! Back.)

Mal's in the bar, as usual, grinning a bit as she trails the end of a string for Orion. He's chasing it, very annoyed that the damn thing just won't stay still.

She's oddly happy. Conversation would likely go over well, unless, of course, you happen to be one of those people she enjoys tormenting.

And even then, who knows?

One CSI, one Fable, and a deck of cards ... there should be an equals sign somewhere, but frankly, the narrator isn't quite sure what it all adds up to.

First, Rose leans over Bar, orders a whiskey and soda for each and then leaves the signed contract and a note of thanks for Lilly Kane, then makes her way over to Greg.

"I am so going to win."

"You're so totally not," he counters, and deals.

Gin rummy, anyone?

Molly hadn’t seen Asar-Suti this morning, so she had simply checked the list of things that needed to be done on the schedule tacked to the inside of the garden shed door and set to work.

It had felt good to get her hands in the soil again, and tend to the plants and paths and compost heap. She hadn’t realized how much she had missed it, and ended working longer than she had intended to.

But now she was in the bar with a tall glass of lemonade, looking over all of the faces she hasn’t seen in weeks, and feeling glad to be back. She wouldn’t mind visiting with familiar faces or making a new friend…

There was a superhero out by the lake, skeetshooting with lakerocks and lightning bolts, not over any real frustration for once, just to make sure she still could, keeping her skills sharp and all that.

There was a calico cat chasing dragonflies around the edge of the lake, only occasionally catching and eating one, or bringing the particularly shiny ones to leave in a pile near Sarah's feet.

Perfectly approachable really, just mind the static bubble.

After an interesting night spent with Frost, Jack makes it back to the bar today looking slightly discombobulated, but on the whole, rather happy.

The first thing he does is order a water, before finding his way to an empty booth and curling up, fingers rubbing idly at his throat and the scar he'd forgotten was there.

The cut lip is looking much better.

Back here again. Of course.

Random has a list of things that need to be done in his head, and is ticking them off mentally as he goes along. Half of them envolve family members.

But one doesn't, so that's where he starts. A note is left at the bar, to Astarael, though he doesn't know her name.

After that, it's a seat, a glass of tequila, and people watching until he spots someone interesting. It's his Milliversary, after all. How better to spend it than watching life go by?

Last night was bad, but it could have been worse. Wells came to himself this morning with a sense of claustrophobia so acute he nearly fled the cells without thinking to grab any of his stuff. Fortunately, some thread of sanity prevailed.

He's been outside ever since and still is. Mostly he's watching the sun make its way down the sky.

After her conversation with Jack, Audrey took some time away from everything. She spent days in her room, just thinking and reading a book about loss. It didn't really help, but it did give her avenues to examine.

Right now, she's sitting at the Bar with a notebook and is reading over some of the writing she did earlier.

She's tried before, but this is the first time that she feels like maybe she does deserve to be happy.

Billy slips down the stairs, moving slowly. His body is even gaunter than it was before and he shivers as he moves through the crowd, shrinking back from any touch and avoiding eyes. He heads for the fireplace and settles to the same spot he had been used to using before everything happened.

He settles there and doesn't react when a wait rat brings him a cup of tea. He stares into the fire and shivers, and thinks. It has been a long week, and one that has forced him to face some rather dark truths. He knows it isn't over yet. For now, he sits, quietly, and stares at the fire, and tries not to think.

Truman was out back again. Not exactly exercising, or his bizarre idea of it.Instead he was going for a light jog near the lake, and looping around some of the fields. His path then took him past the greenhouse and gardens, and towards the woods.

He wasn't that up on info about demonic bunnies just yet. Or the squid and shark in the lake either for that matter.

There's a Chichiri in a bar, perched in a booth with a bowl of rice and so many pieces of paper with various scribblings on, in addition to a map laid out and an iPod that he is resolutely Not Listening To. Instead, he's singing to himself, a folksong from Hokkan, with a lot of references to freezing and turtles. He's not great at singing, but it's not painful on the ears.

He wouldn't at all mind being bothered.

There's got to be a joke back on the Disc about how an Omnian priest walks into a bar ...

And, well, something happens. Probably has to do with fire. Nanny Ogg will tell you, most likely.

However, this particular Omnian priest does not know his punchline. He's only coming down for dinner.

Which, in this case, happens to be a very tiny piece of broiled fish and a copious amount of tea.

It sucks being on a budget.

Thom seems steady enough when he walks through the door: one, two, three; one foot in front of the other: simple. But there's a rough, hanging gash in the fabric of his black shirt, and his fingers keep returning to the newly-scarred skin it exposes.

He stops and looks around.*

In the stables, in a far stall, comes the steady swish, swish, swish of a stiff-bristled brush over a mottled velvet shank, its steady rhythm interrupted on occasion by a hoof stamping the hay, a toss of a wild mane, or a soft murmur of breath through the nostrils.

And, gradually, a whisper of something like a song joins, sung by a rough, low voice, its accent heavy, its tune deep and steady.

Be still... )
["At a Concert of Music" by the magnificent Conrad Aiken]
The song is a meddle of hay-scent and horse-heat, a harmony that mingles with the barn sounds, and is sometimes almost lost in them. And this, too, ends, and the swish, swish, swish of the brush over velvet continues, uninterrupted, untroubled by the ghosts in the singer's mind.

After the strain of her last few nights, the postponed mini-break to New York suddenly becomes a very appealing prospect. And, with a promise of nap-time included, off they go for a kick-ass day of fun.

Along the way they drop in on Marcus so that Indy can return the Summoning Stone. The recovery has an unexpected byproduct that leads to the possibility of new adventure. Once that's been dealt with, there's lunch at a fancy French restaurant, where Indy talks candidly to Marcus about his relationship with Lilly.

And finally, after many hours of shopping, a bit of drinking, and a show, the couple return to Indy's apartment and appraise one of the day's clothing purchases. His broken ribs stand in the way of a proper assessment, so Indy is forced to play his ace in the hole.
