Sitting at the bar, is a crowd of people.

This crowd includes Mercutio and Valentine of Verona, sharing a decanter of wine. It includes Aeryn Sun, drinking quietly near the edge. It includes Richard Sharpe, Jack Harkness and Angelina Johnson, passing around a bottle of something strong. It includes Wes Janson, and... whatever it is he's drinking. And Jocasta Wiggs, who is quiet happy with her own wine, thank you very much.

They're well on their way to really rather squiffy.

Eight muns. Eight pups. Tag one, tag all. Just don't expect coherency.

The storm coming is nothing physical; there is no rainclouds on the horizon, no rolling thunder in the distance. Just a boy, with a thermos of tea and the night sky. Seems peaceful. So does Zuko.

Too bad he's not.

He fingers the chain around his neck; his ring, his dog's charm. When does it stop hurting? When does he stop worrying? He finds no answers in the foreign constellations. So he drinks his tea, and thinks.

It is with an annoyed look that Ichigo wanders into the bar tonight. He wastes no time in making his way towards a booth out of the way, away from most people. It seems impossible to achieve total seclusion in this place, but he tries his best. It's not that he doesn't want company, but he's a bit rusty and wouldn't want to embarrass himself.

Lying his cloth-wrapped sword by his feet, Ichigo turns his attention to the item he has brought into the bar tonight. It's been a while, a long time really, but it feels good to have his guitar in his hands again. Hollow slaying and the like has been sapping most of his free time, but tonight he has managed to sneak away to Milliways, and on his way he spotted his electric guitar gathering dust, and figured 'Why not?'.

Once he has it tuned, Ichigo starts strumming a few chords experimentally. It's not long before he's got a sort of slow rhythm going, and he's even smiling. He may not have played in far too long, but he obviously hasn't gotten as bad as he feared. He plays softly, but the instrument has his full attention and he's getting back into the feel of it, the volume and confidence behind his playing soon growing.

Go ahead and bug at will.

Drizzt is out by the lake this night. At first it is difficult for him to be here but he comes to relaize that she wouldn't want him to be sad.

So with that in mind Drizzt begins to run around the lake, his white hair flying in the wind behind him his eyes bright with an energy of life.

After a completeing a circut he comes to a sudden stop and unsheathes his blades begining a slow routine which he designed to keep him in shape for fighting orcs.

His blades strike high, then low, and continue in that fashion, attacking form every concievable angle.

Should he be approached he will of course stop to say hi.

Clive was back in the bar, filming again. It had been a while, and he felt like he was getting out of practice.

That and he was trying to distract himself again, now that the costumes for the fashion show were done and all that was left was to wait until everyone checked in with a good time to hold it.

Is he filming you? Probably, why don't you go ask him?

Well would you look at that? There's a goddess in the bar, wearing an apron.

It was a fairly typical barbeque apron, the pockets shaped like oversized salt and pepper shakers, with 'kiss the cook' emblazoned across the chest.

She was situated in a booth, staring down a plate of cookies. They were corkscrew-shaped and appeared to be various kinds, all frosted with the same silvery-blue icing, apparently making them look as real as possible.

This confused her more than anything else, cookies were supposed to be bright colors and unnaturally festive.

Want to help her get rid of the evidence?

""Hungry?""

""Yes! 'cakes!""

"A short stack, lovely."

The food appears, along with a sippy cup of apple juice.

Hunter squeals. "" 'uice!""

"Thank you, Bar." Wolf strokes her surface before cutting the pancakes into Hunter-sized non-choking pieces. The bebe tries to grab some with his hands and gets gently pulled back from the food. "Here you go, pup." He zooms a forkful into Hunter's open mouth.

"" 'cakes!""

Nomnomnom goes the baby. Wolf munches on a slice of bacon.

Sarah had once again gone on a book-leaving spree. There were a good dozen various tomes scattered around the bar, all with post-it notes on them declaring: 'free book!' or 'Read me!'

She was keeping an eye on them today, sitting at one of the small tables dealing herself a game of Bristol solitaire, she'd happily accept interruption however, and she'll teach you how to play if you ask.

John comes wandering downstairs from his room (Room 999, for those keeping count), whistling and doing up his tie.

He sits down on his favorite barstool, and orders a pint from the Bar. A pint of perfectly poured Guinness appears, as well as an ashtray.

John pets the Bar. "Good to see you're feeling better, Sweetheart." And lights a cigarette.

Just another day in Milliways.

He's been avoiding the main bar, except to pass through it morning and night.

Nymphadora's even been the one to get the groceries from the kitchens, which resulted in an interesting dinner or two.

But he's there now, in the corner booth he sometimes favors when he's feeling antisocial. Which he is. Sketchbook's in front of him, almost defiantly placed where anyone can see it. Coffee (from home) is at his elbow.

[OOM: It begins.]

Maybe you've seen Riley in the last few days. He has walked in, realized that he is standing in Milliways, and walked right back out numerous times. Today, though, today is a good day. A good day. And so when he shoves the apartment door open and yells, "I want pork lo mei--" and then stops in his tracks when it's not the apartment, he doesn't immediately leave. In fact, he pauses in the door, looks around, then makes his way to the Bar, shrugging off his jacket and pushing his glasses up his nose.

"Pork lo mein, please, Bar," he says, and a plate of Chinese food appears. Riley digs in.

He is quietly content. It's not the raucous glee that it might have been otherwise, but still. Good job.

Coffee coffee coffee. Rodney McKay needs coffee. Needs it strong and soon.

"Coffee," is what he orders, fingers tapping impatiently.

Especially necessary if the mission does go ahead in a few days, as planned. Really vital. Because soon he might not have coffee ever again.

So. Coffee. He can be wonderfully simple at times.

I'm walking pretty quickly, but not running because that would just look suspicious. I'm only about four blocks away to begin with. She deserved it. Trust me. I might have had the upper hand to begin with, but either way she was the one left on the ground.

She never really changes, obviously. Wendy turns the corner, unaware of where it's leads to. Well, of coarse, she ends up in Milliways. However, she has been gone for a while, so it was unexpected. She comes in the door and says nothing at all. She just takes a booth, drops her bag on the table, and lights up a new cigarette.

Come bother.

You could say I'm lazy or a waste of life or just another menace to society. I really don't care, you know. I just do my job. Unfortunately, my job is gone. When I am not doing my job, I'm sleeping. When I'm not sleeping, I'm watching tv. And during all of those, I'm guaranteed to be drinking or smoking or both. Expect for the sleeping cause really that's just asking for a fucking fire or a big spill of perfectly good alcohol. Anyways, the point is that I am a bastard.

Even though, I'm not alive, I am here. I still need attention. I don't have any powers and I can't do cartwheels or fly or prance around in a costume. I could prance around in a costume, but then I would really have to kill myself...again. So, maybe even a gesture would be nice. Hell, I'd settle for being given the middle finger. I'm in the corner.

Ray's settled at a well-lit table not too far from the main Bar. He's got what's either lunch or dinner- hard to tell, the way he eats. 'course, he's ignoring the food anyway. His holocomputer is out and he's frowning thoughtfully at an insanely complicated set of schematics hovering several inches above the device. Periodically he touches part of the plans and they rotate through several degrees to present a new angle.

They generally don't make much sense from the new angles, either, but he certainly seems engrossed by them.

Things have been much better lately for Tom Riddle. No Blodwen, so his house is back to its normal running. He's kept the House of Arch painting charmed - he's grown rather fond of the dogs.

The day after Blodwen's downfall, Galatea made her way home, unharmed if a bit confused. Owl post is up and flying again.

But of course, the best part of all is the fact that he is not what he thought he was. Knowing your soul is not only intact but rather special, can put a smile on one's face.

So after Charlie and Darien's wedding, Tom gets a scotch, gives Bar a fond pat, and finds a table.

When Kaylee steps into Milliways, it's with the full intention of letting people know what's happened -- there are people here who know Simon and River, who will want to know what's happened, and Kaylee doesn't even know where to begin.

And if she has to tell them --

She's standing by the bar. Her eyes flick up to the notice board. Maybe that's the way to do it -- post a sign. She rests a hand on the Bar, asks quietly for a pen and a piece of paper, picks up the pen, and stops --

Simon and River Tam got picked up by the Alliance.

Simon and River Tam are gone for the foreseeable future.

Simon and River Tam might be dead.

And how does writing it not make it real?

A fact that he was not happy with, and had him searching the bar for women in white in a paranoid fashion the second they got in through the door.

"Right. So, here's the bar. I don't suppose I can convince you to go home now?" he said faintly, going human again.

Much to Sands’ displeasure, there’s a cat purring happily at his feet. All attempts to cunningly push it away with his toes are just making it purr louder. Curses.

Ray is settled by the door-

No. No, that's not right. Settled implies that he's sitting calmly, and he's not. He's uncharacteristically tense. Normally if he's anticipating something he fairly vibrates in place, and right now he's... still. Absolutely, totally still, as he faces the door.

At least until it opens and re-admits Foxtrot X-Ray from his mission of earlier. Then Ray springs to his feet, crossing the space to the kitsune in two strides. There is murmuring, and conferring, and then Ray nods. "Right," he says, and looks around.

Ah. There.

Ray leaps up onto one of the tables and announces to all and sundry, "Excuse me! Excuse me, please! .... thank you.... Those of you who're aware of some unfortunate action on the part of some extremely unpleasant government agencies in my world may be interested to know that the gauntlet's been thrown down. Foliage Census reacted almost exactly the way we expected, so- it's time to go bust us some heads."

The wait-rats are looking at him as if they would dearly love to chew his ankles off, so he offers a weak, "Thank you," and climbs back down again.
