Bonzo is out back, going through some practice with his...talents.  Hence, there are small rocks flying; probably some branches, too.

Careful!  One might hit you if you're not looking.

There is no sound when she flies.  The passing of her wings paints a broad expanse of silence across the air. 

The large tawny owl circles a few times until she spots a likely perch near the back door to the bar.  She alights, the down thrust of her wings sending up a cloud of light powdered snow.  

She arranges her wings just so, preening her breast for a moment, trying to remember the thing she wasn't supposed to forget.  Golden eyes scan the lake, the paths, the fields beyond.  She has a vague inkling that it was important, this thing she was trying to remember.

No matter.  It will come to her sooner or later.

To be fair, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with X-wings; they are perfectly useful, adaptable starfighters. And, to be logical, Flight Officer Yazycova knows that she really does need to learn how to fly them.

It's just that today*, she's in a bad mood and thus comes walking into Bar muttering darkly under her breath about trying to fly a submarine.

(In Russian, fortunately - military pilots have never been people to mind their language.)

The flying manual gets dumped onto the Bar with slightly more force than necessary (there is a pause and an apology) and the tiny pilot scans the bar briefly for something - someone - else to pay attention to.

*a day that is after the yet-to-be-posted Battle of Endor, thanks to the joys of millitime.

ooc: and I love you all dearly, but I have to call slowtime as my brain is fading <3

Shephard's gone over his few personal belongings and his bills as best he can. "Look," he says to the Bar, "I'll do my best to get back here with somethin' for my tab next time, but right now I got squat to pay with. Me'n Chell need to get back to base. I make it back here, you can have whatever I picked up between now an' then, all right?"

The Bar doesn't seem to object to that too much, so he heads over to one of the tables to wait for Chell while he goes over his gas mask one more time for maintenance purposes. It can't hurt. He doesn't have to wait long, though; Chell turns up a bit later, similarly ready to go.

They'll be leaving a note this time. Shephard doesn't ever want to hear that Freeman clown's name again, but, hell, he's important to Chell; if it means she doesn't have to worry he's not gonna put up a stink about it.

One note later, it's time to leave.

There's a Charlie in the bar today, reading a perfectly normal book--it's Shakespeare, on a perfectly normal couch. In front of the not-so-perfectly-normal fire, complete with fish.

Wearing something most definitely not in the realm of normal at all. He's dyed his hair blue, straightened it, and has an interesting assortment of clothing styles on. Milliways decided to surprise him tonight, after going out to a club for a party, hence his rather unusual--by his standards--if not outlandish--by anyone else's--dress.

But he's perfectly harmless, really. The mun promises.

There's a partially awake and jammie-clad Barman standing behind Bar today talking to no one in particular. Well, it's not so much standing as it is propping...but the narration digresses.

"Uh huh."


"No nono. It's fine. I'm happy to."


"Uh huh. Completely understand."

"Yup. No no, my fault entirely."

"Uh huh. Mmmhmmm. gnite."

"HAPPY HOUR IS..." he pauses to yawn. "OPEN."

And with that he slumps across Bar completely and falls back to sleep.

[OOC Note: As of THIS thread Happy Hour has been officially hijacked by Tommy. If you'd like specific interaction with the sleeping Mike, indicate that clearly in the tag. Say thankya.]

((OOM: Momiji has a...rough night.

Warnings for violence and disturbing images.))

There is a rabbit-boy slumping tiredly against the Bar, today.

Well, not quite slumping. He's managing to stay upright, mostly so that he can occasionally bring the big, steaming mug of green tea that he's clutching tight in one hand to his lips and take a careful sip. Still, he looks slumped and almost hungover, with a weary heaviness about his eyes and, every now and then, he gives an unchracteristically tense wince or cringe at something noisy or someone bustling past.

When the cup's about half drained, he looks over his shoulder, towards the door. He can't quite decide whether he wants to go home, now, or not. He should probably wait until his head doesn't hurt quite as much.

...Sigh.

For some people, they're satisfied just building planes or models to keep themselves busy.

Tyler however, has his own personal obligation, which has more responsibility but is also kinda fun.*

So for the moment there's a young boy piecing together some sort of double-chambered box from varrious pieces on the table in front of him. He won't mind anyone stopping by for a word.

[[* further proof that Tyler spends a lot of time around Ray Stantz.]]

In a rare moment of whim, Lexaeus is downstairs. He has a plate of roast in front of him, a beer next to his gloved hand, and his eye scanning the bar. It's obvious that he's considering something, though what is hard to say.

Carlos, on the other hand, is at the bar itself and he's very much not looking out. Perhaps he's here because he feels as if he hasn't done enough security work, but his focus is very much on one spot, the door, which doesn't seem to be providing him any pleasure at the moment. He has no food, but it's hard to say if he'd eat anything even if he did.

Meanwhile, the Rivan King has taken up a booth in the corner. He's got a massive amount of paper on the table and all around him but for once he's not signing any of it. Instead, he's looking over a number of large, rough drawings and consulting a few different tables and charts written on other sheets.

[ oom: In which Max and Fiona have an official first date. There is dinner, dancing, and some really awesome dessert, if you know what I mean. *wink wink~*

Warning for explicit adult content. ]


There is a CONTROL agent strolling leisurely down the stairs, hands in his pockets, whistling ("Waterloo" by ABBA — oh, don't look surprised) and looking very much like he's been shot in various body parts with Cupid's most potent arrows.

He is, without a doubt, completely in love. He's spent most of the last week with Fiona, and it's been really, really awesome. (And really tiring. And kind of intimidating. But mostly awesome!)

Now, the thing about people who have fallen head over heels is that they often do not pay attention to where they are walking, as their heads are stuck way up in the fluffy white marshmallow clouds of Lovey Dovey Land, where choirs of cute cherubs sing of eternal happiness and fart little rainbows and cartoon hearts all day.

This does not bode well for these people, because not watching where your feet are going can lead to things like, oh, literally falling head over heels.

You know, like the way Max has just gracefully tumbled over that chair right there.

Thing is, he doesn't look fazed in the least. In fact, he hops up as though nothing happened and continues on his way to the bar, where he sits and orders a big piece of apple pie that will more than likely go ignored because he's so distracted by thoughts of his lovely Fiona.

Aww.

And so he lounges at the bar, there when he wasn't before.

There's a sip from the flask, ever present in his back pocket. He looks a tad more tan than he was last he was here.

But there he is, taking in the bar's sights and sounds. And looking for old familiar faces.

Parker takes a deep breath, blowing it out with a sound like that of an exasperated horse.

Tax season. Parker has never tried to do her taxes on her own, before. And this year she is determined to complete and file them (correctly and well ahead of schedule) without parental help.

She’d come into the bar armed with her forms, her files of paperwork on her grants and scholarships, her bank statements, a legal pad, a calculator, three pens, and the library’s copy of Taxes for Dummies.

Three cups of coffee and several balled-up sheets of yellow paper later, and she thinks she’s finally getting the hang of it.

Still, a distraction from her IRS-induced headache would be nice.

There's an X5 sitting near the fire place. For once he's inside instead of outside. Even though his kind can stand the cold for long periods of time (Manticore would say up to six days. After all, they can go without food or water for that long), he doesn't want to be out in the cold. He doesn't notice the people coming and going. If only because he's adamant about the puzzle laid out before him. One that has over a thousand pieces to it.

Only thing catching his attention is scents. Otherwise, he's in his own little world.

When Ramon comes down to the bar this evening, he is presented with his usual bottle of tequila. It has a bow on it (pink). His steak has what looks like glitter on it (pink and purple) and a cake appears that he didn't order. It has a candle on it - and is pink.

He hasn't been keeping track of the date here but that doesn't seem to matter to Bar. He tells her that the trimmings aren't necessary (and is that glitter even edible?) but all she does is radiate a general air of smugness.

'Think you're funny, don't you.'

The cake disappears, then reappears with a My Little Pony etched on it in (pink) icing, with a bubble coming out of its mouth saying, 'Happy Birthday, Ramon!'

He gives her a sour look. Perhaps unsuprisingly, she doesn't seem too bothered.

The Guppy who steps through the door today looks subtly different. For one thing, he's dressed in a lightweight suit, which the keen of eye will note is made of something with almost armour-like qualities. The second thing is that he has a ponytail, which on questioning, he may or may not admit hides a bald patch in the middle of his head. And the third, rather less subtle feature, is the fact that he looks about forty.

He stops, frowning slightly when he enters, looking around at the patrons, and then casually steps into the shadows to establish which point in his usual timeline he has entered. And of course, to check that his usual timeline self isn't in the vicinity. Once satisfied, he walks over to the bar and pats her gently on the surface.

"Don't worry, I'll be good." he assures her with a grin. "I'll have a quick look around, then I'll get back to my own timeline, okay? My usual please."

Beat.

"Oh, don't I have a usual yet? It's a purple J20 with ice and a small cherry stuck to an umbrella."

He thanks Bar, pays in cash, and sips his drink, then looks around the bar with the curiousity of someone watching their old home videos, except actually getting to be in it.

[OOM: Our past is always too close.]

Demeter is not terribly aware as she walks down the stairs from her room, she had slept so quickly after putting Momiji to bed and woken in such shock. She's not sure whether she wants to walk until she can't feel her feet and doesn't know the land under them or just sit.

In the end the fire draws her and she curls deep within her dark shawl, her hands are hidden so no one can see the marks deep in her palms. If you speak, she might hear you but her thoughts are far away on a dark day in Arcadia.

Ellen really hopes she'll be able to track Sheriff Simms down when she goes back to Megaton. After that bit with Mr. Burke yesterday, she's really kind of skeeved about the town. As if the whole place being built around an un-detonated atom bomb wasn't bad enough!

Well, at least there's one thing she can do about that. Read. The library had several books that contained an awful lot of information on subjects that seemed like they'd be related to the task at hand, and so there is a young woman with steel-grey hair settled in at one of the tables, studiously poring over a copy of Duck and Cover!: What To Do In Case Of Nuclear Surprises.

Oh, and she's got a bottle of some kind of soda on her table that's glowing a bright enough blue that she could probably read by its light alone if she really tried. It's not like she trusts that thing not to do something awful to her room if she leaves it alone in there.
