Gibbs enters and sees the same sort of decorations he saw that strange day many months ago when he was made by the perfidious Bar to war the clothes of Captain Jack. He looks down and sees to his relief that no such thing has occurred.

Though when he reaches up, he finds that the Bar has given him a rather odd hat. With the name "Kevin" stitched on it on the front, and a tiny tag with a note that reads, "Thanks for everything, from Jerry and Gore." The pirate removes the hat, reads the writing, wonders who these people, and goes to get a rum.

Which is thankfully not pumpkin-flavored.

They need to go back to their world soon. Gordon knows that all too well. The longer they stay here the more frustrated he gets, and the longer might be passing out there. Whatever other patrons' relationship with time in their own world, it sure as hell doesn't apply to his.

But Barney's in no position, and no condition, to be thrust back into the fray right now. After everything that happened the other day Gordon's almost glad for that damned door refusing to let any of them out. If it gives them a chance to find some way of helping him through it-

Well, that's an if, isn't it. And Gordon has no clue what's got to be done. Or who to turn to, or even how to start the ball rolling. Thus, he's doing one thing he is aboslutely sure he can do, whether it benefits anyone here or not: he's out at the target range with the gravity gun and a pile of scrap metal, practicing embedding the stuff in human-sized and smaller targets as efficiently as he can. He'll need to be able to do it again when they go back, after all, even if the gravity gun doesn't seem to be able to do replicate the effects of Force lightning any more.

The only noise his weapon makes is a hum and a tchoom! sound, so there's a very good chance he'll hear you if you approach.

On a well lit table under the Observation Window, there's an experiment underway.

Francesca Bruni has got her hands on a selection of basic electrical components from Bar - the spring connection type used in twenty-first century schools as teaching aids. Near the wires is a series of her own notes and a Venetian translation of some of the works of Georges Ohm.

There's no point in understanding the principles if you don't observe the practice.

[OOC: Open post if you don't mind slowtimes. Specific car keys bait for Tom Lefroy]

hiroaki_protagonist

Out by the lake, a man with more or less latte-colored skin, wearing a black T-shirt and a draw-stringed pair of sweatpants, is practicing katas with a katana. Maybe you can get his attention during one of the intervals when he pauses to catch his breath.

[OOC: The bait was set for Eisenheim and Pam Beesly, but anyone's welcome to fall into the trap.

Tinytag example: Gordon Freeman]

Current Mood: energetic
Current Music: Garbage, "Vow"

A man in a bar, in shades, drinking Irish coffee. He's probably watching you from behind there but you'll only know for sure if you ask him.

[OOC: Will be one or two brief slowtimes but apart from that, am here all day.]

OOM: The night is upon us
The sky is clear
We call upon the Goddess
and She is near.

From A Gathering Chant by Abby Willowroot. Tiny tag: Demeter

Boy, bar, several pieces of lined paper and a scowl.

He needs to figure out who to write notes to, and how to say what he needs to say.

Judging by the collection of balled-up papers nearby? It's not going well.

Alan has more or less gotten used to Milliways seeming to pop up every other day since his first visit a week ago. Well, a week for him, at any rate. He's also getting used to the differences in the passage of time. Milliways has been something of a crash course in some of the odder aspects of the universe, really. Likely come in handy one of these days.

Being asked via cocktail napkin to tend bar is still something of a surprise, though. And perhaps not quite so likely to be of use back home. But he's game for it, even if he is still newish to Milliways - it's certainly a different way to meet some people, at any rate.

Drinks Specials

Milk of Amnesia
A Little Green Man From Mars
Liquid Crystal

He just hopes he remembers how to mix drinks. It's been a while since that course in university.

[OOC: Mun is winding down for the night, so is closed to new tags. Thanks to folks who did tag! My first bartending was fun. :D ]

After this, Demeter walks on the grass behind the Bar carrying a small statue as summer storms flit around her.

She still wears her dark shawl but she is golden and her divinity flashes like lightening as she walks around and around the ancient bronze.

Tiny tag: Demeter, Carlotta Brown, Hey!Arnold, Ben Wade, Kore/Persephone car keys bait for Marlowe
OOC: Yes, she does look younger since this is the closest to her divine form.

parkerlee

Parker comes into the bar through the front door this evening, blowing lightly on her hands. Her ears, cheeks, and the tip of her nose are pink. It’s much chillier here than it is in Southern California.

It’s pretty clear what Parker’s been doing: She’s wearing jeans and stout boots, there’s horsehair on her Hearst College sweatshirt, and a few stray bits of hay are caught in her ponytail. And there’s an exuberant bounce in her step in spite of the slight soreness settling into her arms and legs. Parker hasn’t been on a horse very often in the past couple of years, so she’s a little out of practice. And Kiseki had been raring to go. The gelding had worked up an impressive gallop on the flat stretch along the lake.

Parker wends her way over to bar and leans one hand on the polished wood. “Bar? Could I get a cup of coffee please?”

The mug that promptly appears is large, piping hot, and accompanied by a blueberry scone. “Have I mentioned that you’re wonderful?” Parker says, rubbing the bar top fondly.

{OOM: "The time has come," the Walrus said, "to talk of many things."}

Speedster.

Staring rather grumpily at his Door, which still refuses to open. He's not sure if he'd leave at the moment if it did, but it's the principle of the thing.

Also eating soup.

He's a multi-tasker.

It's unlikely that assignment could have gone worse.

Which is why Elle slams the door and stomps in as loudly as is probably possible in those heels before realizing where she's ended up. Her sling's still there, and there's a watery red stain on her blue blouse. From her expression, it doesn't look like her mood has improved at the sight of the Bar, but she walks over to it immediately and asks for another shirt.

It's a small black t-shirt with a familiar design. She'll take what she can get, and snatches the shirt up, heading to the restroom.

The logistics of this aren't as simple as they should be, but Elle reemerges a short time later in the black shirt, her blue blouse folded up in her left hand. She puts on the bar as she takes a seat. Last time, alcohol had felt like the appropriate thing to order.

This time, it's ice cream. Apparently, very blue ice cream.

There's a god out back tonight, standing out near the lake in a long coat (because he thinks he looks damn good in it) with his head tilted back.

For Ouranos, looking up at the sky is a very introspective act.

Right now, he's being very introspective.

He wouldn't mind company, though.

Teja is sitting at the last table still on the lawn, feeding the tiny grey kitten from a small bottle. Warm in a fold of the Goth's Tyrian purple cloak, the small cat is purring like a little motor.

[[OOC: New car keys bait! Teja still needs to be tagged by Zoe Carter -- but everybody else is welcome!]]

[OOM: Once upon a time there were two brothers, and they died. One ended up in Milliways. One didn't.]

Somebody's been given their Halloween costume a day early.

Hence, there's a big, big sabre-tooth tiger with a little tag shaped like a pazaak card in its ear, roaming about the bar looking vaguely bemused. Botherable.

There are things that a person needs to take care of. And there are things a person should keep avoiding. Rod is in a spot that he's ready to wash his life and start fresh. It didn't work with Julie, working with the Mick is great. But for now he needs a break. So welcome bar to a Rocker who's about to make it big. Oh and he looks oddly like that guy form *NSYNC. But He's NOT Joey Fatone. Thank you.

[ooc: car Keys bait for. Hiro Protagonist, And Libby O'Dell, This is Rod the musician. Open to all.]
