Broghan, late son of Macduff, is still in the bar. He's taken to skipping rocks out on the lake.

He hasn't been successful, so far. But practice makes perfect.

[[OOM-Excidium begins to get suspicious.]]

Capt. Roland strides into the bar today relieved to have found herself here rather than at the meeting with the Lords and Admiralty she had been expecting.

"A brandy and a cigar if you would be so good?" she asks the nearest wait-rat and seats herself at a booth. "Damn the Chinese!" she exclaims before getting control of herself again.

Not all Ghostbuster calls involve jumpsuits, proton packs, and slime. Those are only the active elimination ones. Investigation and pacification runs are another story; sometimes the people with the ghost just want it confirmed or made quiet, rather than paying for full removal. Ray kind of likes those calls. They're a good distraction from the screaming and the yelling and the throwing of plates. Today one of those cases brought him out to an old museum on Staten Island, on Lighthouse Avenue. This may perhaps account for why he smells vaguely of incense and smoke despite wearing one of his 'I have to be a civilized grown-up now, don't I' suits.

"Bar? I seem to have missed lunch. What can you do for me in the way of pizza?"

What he gets involves whole wheat and low-fat cheese, among other things, but he doesn't seem to mind much.

As long as he's here at the Bar, Gordon figures he'd better make good use of all the resources available to him. Given that when he and Alyx and the others return they've got a mission waiting to happen, he asked Bar for whatever might be helpful in terms of getting ready.

What he got was a topographical map of Nova Scotia, a copy of the Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook (Extreme Edition), a copy of Medicine For Mountaineering: What To Do When The Doctor's Not Coming, and a compass.

He's studying the map, but he's still not all that reassured.

Jane is writing today as she tends to and at the moment, its a strange sort of story inspired by Kate that she met last night.

There's a pot of tea with a few biscuits and a small shot of whiskey for inspiration as Jane taps at her pen and wills the words to come.

It's a somewhat wobbly Felix who comes into Milliways today. He's dressed quite warmly, but the clothes don't quite fit right - they're made for someone a bit larger.

He looks around warily before sitting at a table.

A nerdy (albeit slightly handsome and relatively brilliant) bookworm walks into a bar.

Of course, he doesn't actually realize he's in a bar at the moment, because this would require him looking up from the ancient text his nose is currently buried in (an ancient Egyptian funerary text, to be precise). As far as he's concerned, he's still lost in the depths of the library he was researching in five hours ago.

When his knee hits a table (and rather painfully), that gives him the opportunity and the interruption to look up from his work.

"What the...?"

Welcome (back) to Milliways, Flynn.

Five Heroes Happy Hour

[gorgonfondness]

"You want me to do this? Are you sure?"

...

"Well, all right, but I can't guarantee that everyone will like the specials..."

They would be a big hit at home, as the public seems to have this idea that celebrations are in order starting tomorrow. Something about the fifth month of the fifth year of peace and, well, any excuse for a month-long party. So Mia carefully writes, turning a little pink as she gets to the bottom of her list:

Specials

The Alex
Hurricane Kyle
Jessica Cocktail
A Splash of Nash
To Mia

Draco's Kiss

The last one is distanced from the rest since it didn't quite fit with the theme, but Mia couldn't bear to leave it out after finding it. Satisfied, she ties her hair back, puts an apron on over her muggle clothes blue jeans and top, and says, "Happy Hour!"

[ OOM: And some of the lights below
Shine directly on the people I know;
Their lives take such strange shapes.
But how together they appear from above --
I guess that could be love.
My friends -- my friends,
I'm coming home.

And then the captain speaks:
"It's clear and 44 degrees."
But I know he means:
"If you feel like dancing
Dance with me."



In which Veronica Mars and Bryan Mills
are mocked, get drunk, flirt, go shopping,
buy flowers, fight crime, sober up,
make salad, tell jokes, lie, worry
and maybe
eventually
kiss. ]

Alex Mahone quite literally stumbles in.

A pair of handcuffs are on his wrists, but this seems to be the last of his concerns. His blue eyes are wide and almost hollow (and red-rimmed), staring somewhere just beyond the thousand-yard mark.

His son is dead.

His son is dead.

(he was only five years old)

His thoughts are blurred and yet focused.

What he wants -- what he wants is revenge, to kill the bastards who've done this. What he wants is to be able to do everything over again, to be able to fix things, make them better, or just erase himself from existence entirely. Pam doesn't deserve this. Cameron didn't deserve this.

There's a terrible weight in his chest, one that he knows won't go away completely no matter what he does.

But, damn it all to hell if he won't try to mend things as much as possible.

He needs to know --

He needs to know that he can still do this.

But right now?

He falls to his knees on the bar floor, head tilted back, mouth slightly open in a silent question to a deaf god.

(Out of Milliways: Time to do a little legwork.)

Andrew's in the bar, chewing on a piece of beef jerky (teriyaki-flavored, very tasty) and pondering. And intermittently scribbling in his notebook.

Botherable.
