OOM: Teja takes a holiday by the seaside with Charlie Monroe

[[OOC: Warnings for lots of canoodling and snogging on the first six days, and an added very nasty surprise on the seventh. And yes, never fear, he will be back...]]

Bar has apparently decided that Annabelle needs to exercise her brain, since she gives Annabelle a crossword puzzle along with her morning cup of coffee. At the moment, Annabelle's trying to figure out the answer to 46 down. Maybe you could help?

The young man -- eighteen, nineteen at most -- who walks in notices where he is (and, more to the point, where he isn't: his dorm room) immediately, but does nothing more than narrow his eyes for a second. Only after Hari's tapped shut something on his handheld computer does he look up and squint at the bar in general.

He assumes it's a prank of some sort -- he's not exactly popular, after all -- but can't imagine how someone would turn his tiny single-occupancy room into a bar this size.

(Along with unpopular, he's cocky. If he can't figure out something, he doubts anyone else in the Conservatory can.)

The unexpected usually calls for beating the answer out of someone. Only thing is, there are too many targets to choose from.

Hari has to think this over for a few seconds.

"Bar," says Ray as he enters, covered in greenish slime and smelling of sugar and chemicals, "I would like something to drink that is non-alcoholic and not made by the Coca-Cola corporation. Right now I do not particularly care what it is. I will see to hygiene and cleanup afterwards, thank you."

There is a started silence before a glass of dark green, faintly opalescent, fizzy and nearly self-motile stuff appears before him.

"Much appreciated," Ray says, and looks for a place to sit and drip.

Ellen's got a ways to go back home before she reaches the Anchorage War Memorial. When she reached the Super-Duper Mart, she took the opportunity to duck through a door into Milliways. She has morning appointments with Mr. Mills, after all, and she doesn't want to miss them. Besides, there were some extremely vicious and territorial dogs on her tail for a good part of the trip, and she needs to wash her hands after having dealt with them. The threat of being eaten by feral dogs does wonders for stifling one's agoraphobia, but when you grow up in a Vault you grow up clean, and there's just not enough water on the surface to tidy up very often.

One young woman in black body armor with an extremely approximate Vault-Tec logo painted on the front where the talon had been, at your service. She's headed for the back door, but she could probably be distracted.

Out of Milliways:

"Freeman, Striders are coming. A single one of those damn things could shoot down our rocket..."
"So, Dad. What were you two talking about?"
"What I need is for the last goddamn survivor of the damn Air Force Academy to show up on the steps right 'bout now 'n take the helm of that damn whirlybird for me, but I'll settle for a gunner."
And the battle is opened.

And even more late in Daylight Savings...Justin had no idea that the Milliways timeline was as far forward as this, and gapes a bit at the curt note he receives from Bar before she switches off.

...he may have just worked out that he's not as old as he thinks he is. Anyway! What with the Late and all, he has no time to search for specials and so the board reads;

Name me a cocktail that makes me laugh, get it for free. Has to be real!

Given that he laughs a lot, this one should be easy.

'We're go for Happy Hour, everyone.'

Charlie is outside, this afternoon, even in the light drizzle that's starting. He couldn't care less about the weather, honestly. After finding himself back at Milliways, and Bound to it, he couldn't care less about a whole lot. but go find him near his bike, where it's parked, him sitting at the base of one of the trees near it off the little dirt packed road, and he might talk to you. Of course he might also snarl at you to go the hell away, just as easily, but those are the chances.

[[OOM 1: Teja's holiday by the sea ends very badly.]
and then, again,
[OOM 2: King Teja loses everything, dies, and wins.]]

The taste of Adalgoth's kiss on his lips, and in the firm knowledge that his people would be safe, Teja, last king of the Ostrogoths, fearlessly steps into the darkness.

But the welcome darkness soon dissolves, and there is light again, and the sound of a door falling shut behind him.

Teja finds that the spear of Cethegus is gone from his chest, and in his hands, he holds his harp again that he dashed against the rocks before his last fight, and his battle axe that went into the volcano with the corpse of his enemy.

I do not wish to wake to new life once the spear has at last found my heart.

Of course, his wish had not been granted.

Teja looks around. Behind him, there is nothing but a blank wall - whatever door he came in through is no longer there. This looks like a tavern to him - a place in which people are sitting at tables, eating and drinking, a place of crackling fire, a counter over which food and drink are served. And yet, it looks unlike any tavern that Teja has ever seen, anywhere in Italy, run by Goths or run by Romans; and there are many implements about that mean absolutely nothing to him, and many people that look exceedingly strange.

Teja knows he is dead. This is the afterlife. Afterlife as a drinking hall, afterlife as a tavern - this has to be Valhalla! Yes, indeed, only the gods might have such lights in their halls as the ones moving in the large opening to one side. If there are any gods, which Teja has long been certain there are not.

Of all the possibilities that Teja has ever pondered and dismissed, this is the last he would have chosen. Teja looks around to see if he can discern a Valkyrie, a serving wench, or any deity that he can ask what is expected of him.

And how he can get out again.

Usually, Hannah considers the fact that you can't get cell phone reception at Milliways to be one of its few downsides.

Today, however, it's the reason she came. Because she just needs a little while to not be dodging calls from the intrepid reporter who both figured out that Hannah knew people still in the current news cycles . . . and somehow got her cell phone number.

So Milliways and its lack of can-you-hear-me-now-ness is very very welcome today.

Hannah drops into a comfortable chair and gets a waitrat to bring her coffee.

Five minutes later, she's reading a magazine and more relaxed than she's been in days.

[oom: Carlotta's day starts off roughly, even before she finds out about Teja.]

Carlotta brought Charlie Monroe back through and seperated from him to search for Teja.

She found him, eventually, and is now sitting high up in a tree out back, definitely Not Crying, absolutely not at all.

Guppy has been hard at work at home this week, working out whether or not Alexander's colic is related to a food sensitivity from what his mother is eating. They had success, and having removed every piece of broccoli from the household, finally there has been some peace and quiet.

Father and son look quite content, and are sitting playing finger puppets in one corner of the bar. Rather than drawing them on his fingers, this time they're made of paper.

"Hello Alexander, my name is Snowy the Sheep." Guppy says, wiggling the puppet in front of the baby.

There are plenty of craft materials on the table, if anyone wants to make one and join in the puppet show.

Ned is in the bar, having his usual cup of tea.

He is also people-watching.

And possibly distracting himself from conversations that had happened recently concerning his childhood sweetheart.

Botherable.

OOM: The Landlord is less than subtle at times.

It's finally time. The hand is as good as it's going to get for the moment, Mary Anne's gone ahead and they've done all the prep they can on the information he had at hand.

He toys with the idea of leaving a note for Random, just in case. Then decides against it because what's the point? And if there's no point in that, there's no point staying here either. Might as well get back to life.

He doesn't look back as he walks out the door that finally, finally, leads home.
