stubborn-annie.livejournal.comAnnie slips into the Bar after a long day at work, and we do mean a long day. She opened the bakery herself today, as Junia was unwell and she doesn't trust anybody else with the ovens. She's been up since about three-thirty in the morning as a consequence. Thank God her workers are covering the afternoon and evening shifts, or Harry and everyone else at the Wells farm would be in a very poor position indeed.
She did, however, exercise a business owner's prerogative and pulled some of the stock out of the store with her in compensation for early morning hours. Today, the sign at her table indicating that the food is both free and safe refers to apple cake, a fairly large one at that. There's also a smaller sign indicating that anyone who faffs around with her cake is going to get a spoon to the head. Annie is a little too used to Milliways not to think of that sort of thing.

Jul. 25th, 2008 10:00 amalorn-bear.livejournal.comBeijing Olympics coming up on Belar's universe's Earth.
Belar's adopted people, the Dorbed tribe of nomads of western Mongolia, contributed three members to the Mongolian Olympic team this year.
Belar wants to know what kind of moron thinks performance enhancing drugs are a good idea when you're going into the Olympics in a country that doesn't even trust its own citizens, let alone foreigners.
... there's a reason he's here, wearing his Security badge around his neck in bear shape, rather than at home, where he might take his wrath at one of his people out on all of his people. Belar's never been what you'd call a mature god, but he does his best to be careful, and right now a wrathful polar bear with a Security badge is the best he can manage.

Jul. 25th, 2008 02:56 pmflail_victoriaSeras sat at a table, wel leaned on it, is more like it, she was writing. And oh, she had a laptop now, it was nice to be paid for work. She was working on a standard operations manual for the Hellsing organization. She had not seen one, and she thaught it would be a good idea to write one, as it was, all of the Hellsing forces, but three were dead. They would need a way to teach a new force in a short time. Also, she had found, while working as a police girl, that having the manuals to conslt from time to time was good. So, she wrote.
She was acctually resting her chin on her arms and looking at the laptop screen. She had a glass of blood at her elbow.
Distractions are welcome.
(OOC I will be making the manual as I get around to it and posting it in the Hellsing_ways comm)

Jul. 25th, 2008 05:30 pmthere-is-a-me.livejournal.comSpoon is thinking. The question is what to do about Axel. And Axel's...people. Thing.
Spoon is trying to figure out what to do about Axel's problem, but the problem is bigger than he is (except for the one who is short) and he's really more straightforward than all this is.

Jul. 25th, 2008 05:40 pmlissla-lissar.livejournal.comLissar is settled into a chair where she can watch for people. She's fairly low-key at the moment, although she hasn't forgotten what she was told the other day by the man who dislikes Axel so. She's in a fairly good mood, reading calmly.

Jul. 25th, 2008 07:13 pmmendanddefend_archiveMatrix and AndrAIa returned to Mainframe recently. This is good.
They told their friends and relations that they were married, and indeed had been for some time. This is also good.
They also let it slip that Bob has known about their marital status for some time now, and didn't tell anybody. This, for Bob at least, is Very Very Bad.
Long story short, Dot is pissed and Bob is sleeping on the couch for a week. If he seems a little groggy today, that's probably why.

Jul. 25th, 2008 08:04 pmmagic_ferretIt was just a single step towards getting home. That's how all journeys start. Yunno is setting himself up for a project.
In this case that means he's ordered a light snacking meal (tea, oranges, granola bars), a pad of paper (white, suitable for rough sketching), a box of pencil crayons, and a holographic, portable computer. It's heavy on geometric patterns and blinking lights.
He's put up a sign
and has settled in to work on an extremely complicated design. Please, someone interrupt before his eyes cross from the math.

Jul. 25th, 2008 09:15 pmbugsandslimeHodgins has some serious thinking to do.
Not about anything deep or dark or dire. But actual concrete details regarding having kids with the woman he loves? That is something that requires thought.
The kind of thinking that is best accomplished in a relaxing atmosphere with a comfortable perch for his feet and a bottle of good beer.
Feel free to ask him what is on his mind. Just be prepared—you may find yourself being shanghaied for a ride through his thought processes.

Jul. 25th, 2008 09:24 pmsliceitwithwind.livejournal.comXaldin is attempting to get used to being indoors based on the theory that it's slightly easier for him than it is for Xigbar and one of them should be able to go inside without pain.
Or at least without admitting to pain.
So he's pacing around the bar just over the heads of patrons. He keeps a distance from the door and obviously shudders every time it opens but doesn't allow that to force him out.

Jul. 25th, 2008 09:31 pmaimedforthemoonThe Russian astronaut comes down stairs, as is normal, and orders breakfast and coffee, as is also normal. What isn't normal is the newspaper that appears alongside. She blinks, glances at it, and then stops.
Slowly, she rereads the headline.
It takes a moment to sink in; when it does, Esfir turns white.
She breathes in, breathes out, and orders things in faltering Russian. When the stack of newspapers come into view, she picks them up and walks very, very slowly back to her room with her expression completely blank.

[ooc: and she's not around for tags at the moment, but should be around later]

Jul. 25th, 2008 10:20 pmbringonthewonderAngela's been here for a little while, at a slightly out of the way table, and she's completely oblivious to any serious pondering her fiance may be doing on the other side of the bar.
There's a glass of wine she's ignoring right now, in favor of drawing, and half-finished or abandoned sketches -- mostly faces, one or two of hands -- are scattered across the top of her table.

Jul. 25th, 2008 10:40 pmdancewaterdanceHe was not intending to be here for long. It felt … like nothing, truly, but if he could feel Demyx suspects it would feel saddening that he must skulk around in this place that was supposedly safe, on the lookout for trouble in his current state. Lissar had come and he had followed, only briefly. He wanted to let his friends and superiors know that he was alright, if they cared.
He’s keeping an eye out for certain People of Interest, though. He’s healed enough to walk acceptably now, though still with a bit of a shuffling limp. And if he catches sight of a young boy or large mouse wielding a keyblade, or a sullen white-haired boy, he is bolting for the door and possibly calling security on the way.

Jul. 25th, 2008 11:27 pmsong_tra_bongMary Anne takes a seat at the bar just looking for a drink. What she gets is a huge slice of cake with a sparkler candle.
"Is it really..." She runs a hand through her hair. "Man, time flies."
So, who wants to help the birthday girl attack her cake?
[ooc: slowtime pretty much a guarantee with this one, folks. see this post for more details.]
