Downstairs for a late dinner, Chris is too wrapped up in her own thoughts to pay much attention to anything else.

It's not till she's on her feet, ready to leave, does she catch sight of this. She stands, watching the two for a few moments, every touch and worried glance feeling like a slap across the face.

He's with her.

She's caught between being terrified that Jack will turn, see her and know how desperately she wants him back. And wanting him to.

In the end, pride gets the better of her. Without a look back, she turns and hurries upstairs before he can notice her.

Look, up in the tree! Is it a bird, is it a plane? Nope, it's a barefoot teenager, soaking in the early morning sunshine in peace and quiet. The wind's cool and the sun's warm, and there's that lovely early-morning stillness over the lake.

Things are good, in Steph-land.

Come yank a dangling foot!

Ramon enters the bar looking happy enough (i.e smug as hell) and goes to order a burger and tequila from Bar. When both turn out to be salty, he glares at her and throws the food back down.

'Is that some sort of joke? Very fucking funny.'

No one's laughing - least of all him - when he tries to order something else but nothing at all materialises. Muttering something about prison food, he goes to sit in a booth and wait for a rat.

Damn women.

After their earlier argument, Ishamael catches up with Shelley, and brings her a sunhat. It could be symbolic, but since they simply snipe at each other a little more, maybe not.

Jimmy's in a booth. More specifically, lying along one bench with his feet flat on the wall and his head hanging over the end. Also, he has a bouncy ball, which he's...bouncing. Off said wall.

Rather glazed expression: check.
Singing quietly: check.

No prizes for guessing how he's been spending his time.

When the lake door admits a wet haired thief splattered in demon bunny blood, there's a moment of tension.

She looks at Bar. Bar seems to look at her.

Then Mel sighs and approaches, laying a gentle hand on the wooden surface, and smiling faintly. "Hey, honey, how's about some breakfast?"

Doesn't stop her taking the entire tray back out again, though. It's too nice a day to be eating indoors.

They were working today instead of playing, Adric wearing his apron with his Mathematical Excellence badge pinned on it, Spoon toddling along behind dragging a wagon, collecting dirty dishes.

You have some to add to the collection?

The door to the Bar opens, and in comes...a droid? It's a basic R5 unit, and it's towing a hover-skid behind it. The skid has ten uniform storage bins on it, each with markings in both Basic and English. Behind the skid comes Lando Calrissian. He walks around the skid as it moves towards the bar, and in front of the droid.

"Bar, I'm told there is a storage bay of some kind here. Can you provide directions for my droid to this facility?" Bar takes a few seconds, but does produce a datachip, which Lando places in the approporiate slot. The R5 hoots and clicks, and then heads off to await retrival.

Lando then settles into a corner booth, and tracks down a wait-rat, ordering a Correlian ale.

Yesterday, Lyra Belacqua Silvertongue finished the sixth form at St Sophia's School, Oxford. Her overall marks were good but not stellar, although she earned a first in Rhetoric and another in her independent study of Alethiometry. In the fall she'll be going on to St Sophia's College.

At noon today she and Pantalaimon have an appointment. Instead of going straight to the bench in the Botanical Gardens, though, they come to Milliways around the middle of the morning. "They'll be there," Lyra says to Pantalaimon. "I hope."

And again, it's the return of Summer Reading Adventure Sarahâ„¢

Comes with all the accessories you see here, including, sunscreen, floppy hat, oversized movie star sunglasses, beach towel, and of course, an array of exciting books perfect for a summer reading adventure.

On her way through the bar she picked up a picnic basket, blinking at the fact that it was damp, but she shrugged it off, it'd keep the lemonade cool at least.

She also left a few various books on tables and in booths as she passed, all with post-it notes on them declaring 'Free!' and 'Read me!'

That done she headed out to the lakeside to spread her towel out in the shade of a tree and start reading once again.

[OOM: Parker goes home and gets the job done.]

Shaking it off, Parker walks to the bar and drops a heavy sack on top. "This should cover my tab."

Then he stalks to a dark corner of the bar, ordering a bottle of vodka from a waitrat on his way. His face is empty, eyes unfocused.

Mara Jade-Skywalker is a-wandering the bar, a note in her hand, still dressed up for dinner at Leia and Han's, which finally just ended.

She wearily sits down, and sighs, pushing hair out of her face. Bah. Family.

It's really, really big. Big and blue and Gavin still can't seem to get over the size of it, even nearly a year later.

Tatooine is a desert planet and Coruscant a city planet. Neither of the places he's called home have ever possessed bodies of water this vast. So maybe his amazement is understandable. Or maybe it's just a silly farmboy pilot type thing.

Either way, there is a Gavin walking along the edge of the lake, often stopping to just enjoy the view.

It's been a while since David's been inna bar. But putting the final touches to Richard's book has had a seriously detrimental effect on visiting.

The book is, however, finished and David carries it in a portflio folder, neatly bound as a manuscript. It won't leave his sight until he gets it to Richard.



He looks around once, twice, and chooses a stool at the bar, ordering a cup of sweet tea and a copy of the Times before retreating to a booth. So, there's that thing again, for the first time in a while.

David.

Booth.

Tea.

There's a reasonably content sailor out by the lake this afternoon.

Edmond has not spent much time outside, since arriving, but that's all going to change. You see, he's discovered where the boats are moored and is currently sitting on a rock nearby, enjoying their proximity.
He's still a little shaky on borrowing procedure, however, so he's unsure about taking one.

Perhaps he'll swim instead, or maybe just sit. It's a nice enough day for anything.
If you know more than him, or are just interested in company, you're more than welcome to join him.

Here's someone who hasn't had a bar post in ... a while now...


An Ihlini woman is sitting at the bar, staring at her plate of bad food, lost in thought about something. Seems as though whoever's in charge hasn't fixed the matter yet, but that's not what's got her so distracted.

No.

It's something else entirely.

She needs a distraction.

Or better food.

So by the fire, there’s sat a Sands, with a book and a glass of tequila.

Charlie--no, the other one--climbs up onto the piano bench and says loudly, over the chatter of the bar with twenty years of singing to project his voice, "Good evening, ladies, gentlemen, and undecideds--there's going to be a wedding here on Saturday. Please come."

He gives a little nod and jumps off the bench.

Shufti is outside, with Jack. He is showing her how he can roll over on the grass, and keeps offering her bits of twig. She plays with him, putting his little sun hat back on every time he rolls over and it falls off.

Which she suspects will win out in the end, but anything's possible.

Now that's better: tonight he didn't chance ordering from Bar herself. His coffee's straight from one of the wait-rats and it tastes better than he remembers it ever being. Probably because it isn't salty.

Tonight he doesn't really care if he's up late. He's in a pretty damn good mood, and that makes all the difference in the world. He's got coffee, he's got his smokes, and aside from that whole fuck, Beth's having a baby thing, not a care in the world. More or less.

For the first time since his promotion, Mike ambles downstairs in full view of the patrons. He's exhausted, weary, drained, wiped out...heck, choose an adjective, any adjective...and that'll about cover it. It's been a rough couple of days.

Bar is doing better, for a given level of better. Imagine your worst breakup. Now imagine that you're a sentient bar at the end of the universe. Get the picture? Cool.

Mike makes his way over towards Bar, and lays a comforting hand on her top. He is both instantly warm and cold. It's like the stranger for all intents and purposes. Mike would like you to know that if you catch that reference you're as sick a human being as he is.

He stands by her, and doesn't let her go.
One of these days he might even get around to announcing the fact that he's new barman...but today is not that day.

It's bathtime in the Tonks-Wrangle household, and it's Bernard's turn tonight. Once the splashing starts, and Nymphadora's gotten clean jammies out for the kids, she takes the opportunity to slip out into the main bar.

The witch doesn't approach anyone; she simply goes to her usual spot, at the end of Bar's length, and lays an open palm on her surface.

Nymphadora's been giving her space. But it's time, she reckons, for a few questions.

Her voice is soft, and soothing, and only Bar can hear her. Periodically she pauses, and small notes appear on the wooden surface.

Finally, after a few minutes, Nymphadora gathers up the notes, and pats Bar affectionately. "Thank you, lovely," she murmurs, and walks home.

As she goes, she looks over the notes once more.

The top-most one simply reads Michaelangelo.

Sometimes you can't get a song out of your head until you listen to it, get it all out of your system, and then distract yourself with other songs.

Beth's craving for cold pineapple pizza has had that same lingering quality.

She chose to sit the usual table tonight, and though she's had to wait for the pizza to get cold, it's not way too salty like her pizza from the other night was.

You just don't get much more content than she is right now.
