You can find Jason sprawled on the couch this morning, toying with a cup of coffee. You can tell he's in a good mood by the obscenely large amount of charm he's emitting.

Spoken for or no, Jason's "on" today. (even if he has no intention of following through!)

There's a doctor tucked into a booth seat, nursing a mug of coffee while she gazes about the bar.

Botherable.

The peculiar device that Ray Stantz set up in the corner of the bar a few days ago is still there.

The not!ghost is still wrapped around it like it's a life preserver in the North Atlantic.

OH MY GIDDY AUNT THERE'S A JAILBIRD, GET OUT OF THE BAR!

...Uh. The narration means that Bart, being in definite need of a change of scenery, has broken out of the infirmary with the help of his dastardly accomplice-slash-girlfriend Jenny. Their final destination is their room, but it appears they've made a stopover on one of the couches.

Because, well. Partially because Bart needed a break from the room spinning thing, and partially because the bar, too, is a change of scenery, and he plans to stick it out there as long as possible.

And by 'stick it out', the narration means he has his head in Jenny's lap. Very rough, this sticking it out.

Wee free tags!: Jenny

Since running into a certain rather creepy duo out back in the snow, Inari had been avoiding Milliways for a few days. Not to mention that her mun had to practically beg the voice to come out of hiding for a decent post. While the snows were still about outside the weather was somewhat warm. No bone chilling breeze swept through the trees and down around the lake or inlet that would demand patrons stay inside.

Over the lake a figure slithered about the sky sometimes skimming over the surface letting claws dip into the icy water. The dragon was a dark green with golden mane and ridges along her back. Typical of the Japanese style, it moved up into the air seeming to float and search with oddly bright blue eyes. She wasn't going to be so unprepared this time about for a certain red fox and wolf.

Diving back towards the ground the large creature worked her way up and around the lake keeping her figure low to the ground as she gracefully arched about the stables making a beeline toward the back door of the bar. Someone may get a little snow tossed in their direction if they aren't careful enough.

Chad is sitting as far away as he can get from the bustle of his bar, working on his Algebra II homework. He pauses every few minutes or so to take a sip of his cola and lime, only to turn back, not bothering to look up. It's clear by the expression on his face that he A) doesn't know how to do these problems and B) isn't all that concerned about it, just plodding through leisurely. Most likely leaving each half done, if that.

He is utterly, ridiculously, splendorously botherable. If a little quiet.

SARAH arrives in Milliways, door immediately thrown wide with light music playing from the living room.

"Time for the party, Milliways," SARAH notifies the bar at large. She hopes people come by.

Until the game starts, there may or may not be A Cinderella Story on the wall panels.

Don't judge.

[ooc: Welcome to the game! I will start new subthreads for each quarter but otherwise, have at! Chat name is milliball.]

[ETA: And we are all off for the evening. IF YOU ARE WATCHING THE GAME: feel free to host threads in later. I...will be elsewhere. :D?]

Back to work and in his normal clothes today, though he has left off the armour because he'll raise a sweat.

Mucking out, bedding down, grooming and feeding this many horses is a long job, but Attila has a strong back and a deft hand at it.

He has almost finished when he notices one of his charges favouring a hoof and he puts his shoulder into the beast's side and lifts the hoof to prop it against his knee while he inspects it and feels the tendons for heat.

It's a Monday afternoon in mid-spring in a small town off I-59, and that means laundry day for the performers and crew of the Watanabe Circus... except for one mutant aerialist who has gotten himself banned from another laundromat.

It's not his fault though. He was only trying to be entertaining. Senses of humor just don't translate well sometimes. They'll have forgotten all about it by the time the circus comes through again next year. Probably.

But at least he got his own done before that happened; and now, bored, he wanders back through the door to the bar, in search of some other way to amuse himself.

Teja is outside this morning, in the sparring grounds by the lake, fighting the sparring droid that Atton Rand had given him, quite a while ago.

There is some snow on the ground, and some ice where the snow had been slushed on other days, and re-frozen; the footing is somewhat difficult. It is worse for the droid than for Teja, though. The Goth delivers a powerful blow with his wide-swinging axe, and the droid stops fighting. Fatal hit, it declares in its metal voice.

"Valentinian: stand by!" Teja orders it, then gets a water skin from under his cloak, on a nearby tree, opens it, and drinks.

Life as a snubfighter pilot is exciting. No really, it's deeply exciting and busy and...

And occasionally your immune system goes on vacation after all of the stress of staying alive. Goes on vacation... without you.

So when Wedge Antilles comes in tonight, he really and truly looks like hell.

Here's a face that hasn't been (obviously) downstairs in a while. Which is not to say Angel hasn't been around, he's just... been quiet.
(The narration blames newer headvoices.)
Anyway, he's on a couch, reading a book. And occasionally writing notes in the margins, for the hell of it. He would not necessarily object to conversation, though.

OOM: A couple of weeks ago, Bela summoned a demon...

Its laughter followed her far longer than she'd have hoped. To drown it out, Bela hopped a plane to St. Tropez. And then Rio. And then Paris. She went wherever the parties took her. She hasn't been sober the entire time - pills, cocaine, alcohol, whatever. It's not like anything matters anymore, and she's got the money, doesn't she?

She dances in the front door, in a barely-there leather halter top and miniskirt, her tanned legs ending in ridiculously high heels. She can't feel her feet. She can't feel anything but the thumping beat of the club music. That's fine with her.

It's silent now, though, and this is not the club's bathroom.

"Shit," she laughs. She hadn't planned on stopping here. It's too quiet. But the liquor's good, and the air here is cool on her hot skin.

Teddy's in the Bar today, watching the Window curiously. It doesn't hurt him as much as it does some people--it's more just interesting to watch the End repeat over and over.

Also, he's sort-of-maybe avoiding a Bart and a Jenny on the other side of the room until Bart gets better.

He twirls the spaghetti on his plate idly, and wonders if anyone's ever used any sensing equipment on it. Or whether there's a roof holding space outside too. He vaguely remembers something like that in the Hitch-hiker's books.

Botherable!

The doctor is in

Guppy has his table set up in a booth in the bar near the door to the infirmary.

He's also playing on a Game Boy in the meantime, occasionally tilting his head as if trying to get the little ambulance on the screen to go around the corner more quickly.

Serenity's crew often finds space to have a little break during the New Year festivities, and this year they set down on Persephone for a few days' vacation. Several members of her crew were able to catch some time with Prior Fell while they were there, in the last days before Simon and Kaylee were to head off to Osiris.
