A return, during Cubefall

The slight smirk he allows himself as he walks through the front door is a clear sign that Nathan Stark is very, very pleased with something. It remains evident even though he's immediately occupied with examining the changes to the bar and its environs.
Upon being presented with the vidscreen, Stark studies it for several long seconds.
Hello! Welcome to Milliways. Today, Milliways marks the Cybertronian holiday of Cubefall, the anniversary of the day upon which the Allspark first landed on the rocky world that would become Cybertron. Would you like to sample some possible reconfigurations? (y/n)
Very few people -- Allison Blake would be one of them -- have seen that particular expression on Nathan Stark's face before. It's more than anticipation; it's delight.
He reaches out and makes his selection.
Y.
Seconds later, the transformation is complete.

It's the third and final day of Cubefall. By now, most everybody who comes to the Bar regularly probably knows about it. Still, new people turn up all the time- and after the other day, well, Ironhide's sort of curious whether humans really find the holiday as disturbing and alien as all that. Thus he's taken it upon himself to move into one of the booths composed entirely of Erector sets and assemble a sign in English:
HAPPY CUBEFALL
QUESTIONS ANSWERED HERE
He then goes on to start work on a reasonable semblance of the Autobot logo using only Lincoln logs. He's not used to working in wood, but construction is as construction does.
One of these things is almost certainly going to end in disaster.

May. 29th, 2009 03:41 pmallstarchuck.livejournal.comIf you should venture out this afternoon, you might happen upon a certain Chuck. He's wearing tight comfy jeans, a t-shirt, and the sunglasses that have been a stable of his sartorial choices the past couple days, and is stretched on the grass, arms crossed under his head. This would be the perfect, idyllic pose to watch the clouds, except Chuck doesn't currently have eyes.
And did we mention the pen? There's a pen in the air, doing loop-the-loops and figure eights with apparently no outside help.
Someone is playing with his new Jedi mind powers. :D
This is not the tiny tag you are looking for. Move along: Chuck Bartowski

May. 29th, 2009 03:59 pmvance_primeAlyx had the Stalker dream again last night. Not terribly surprising, considering what's been on her mind lately. What is surprising is that, rather than hiding in her room or going straight outside and avoiding contact with anyone, Alyx is actually in the Bar proper.
Not that she really wants to be here. The whole holiday, at least the way it's celebrated here, still creeps her out to no end. But Alyx figures that she needs to face up to that fear rather than hide from it. Call it practice for when she goes home.
So here she is. She's radiating discomfort like a space heater, but she's here nonetheless. She's even fiddling with the Legos from the bin next to the table.

May. 29th, 2009 04:09 pmcutting_edgex23[X5-494 is just another term for l'esprit de l'escalier. Or maybe not.]
X's pace as she heads downstairs is slightly faster than usual, but not by much. The really unusual thing is the dress she's wearing, which is long and purple. Her hair is pinned up, her arms are encased in elbow-length black lace gloves, and she has apparently replaced her locket with a gold circle on a thin gold chain.
At least the lack of make-up is familiar.
She does not stop at the bar for food or a laptop, just slips through the crowd of humans, aliens, animals and robots to take up a position near the front door.
And then she waits.
It is something she's good at.

A small aqua-and-white robot girl is flying in loop-the-loops above the lake.
It's the last day of Cubefall. She wants to enjoy it while she can.

May. 29th, 2009 04:43 pmonpaleblueeyes.livejournal.comThe older version of Em is, well, really enjoying her older form. Gone are the gangly limbs, the occasionally stringy hair, and the lack of curves, and in their place is something much more womanly.
She's waiting to see if anyone will recognize her, but for now, she's just enjoying a drink at the bar.
Come and say hello.

It seems she has some games she can access. She's currently on her 47th game of Minesweeper. A little hard to tell since it's all internal, but she can get a display and controls.
Anyone wanna play?

May. 29th, 2009 06:25 pmnita_callahanThings that have happened since Nita was last in the bar, in no particular chronological order:
1. Eighteenth birthday.
2. Acceptance letters from NYU, Barnard, Bryn Mawr, and a couple SUNY schools.
3. Super Tuesday 2008 (which Nita did not get to participate in, worse luck).
4. Senior prom (which Nita attended with Kit as a friend; both were a little shocked they made it through the whole night without finding an excuse to leave early, and shared one very awkward slow dance).
5. Graduation (which might have been even harder than her birthday to go through without her mother).
. . . The mun sort of wishes she'd written some of these things out. They were all pretty awesome.
The wizard who walks into the bar, wearing an NYU T-shirt and garden dirt under her nails, is technically no longer a young wizard. She's an adult one. Don't mention it to her; she's aware; it's scary enough as is.
Long time no see, Milliways.

May. 29th, 2009 06:59 pmlady_moonMoon has been restless.
Very restless.
She's moved between various worlds over the last week, unable to remain anywhere long, and eventually her feet led her back here.
Something is coming, but she doesn't know what. A sense of anxious unrest has settled inside her, her path -- and the path of the wolf -- are blanks for her. It's something she's never known: not knowing.
She's curled up on the couch, her scarlet skirt vibrant against her white skin and white corset. Moon's just staring at it. She's never worn red before. She doesn't remember putting red on. But, there it is.
Red.
Moon has also known how together her mind is.
And that, more than the colorful skirt, unnerves her the most.

May. 29th, 2009 07:50 pma1enzoBeing a dragon is highly entertaining for a while, but what with the disadvantages and the fact that most people are inside playing with Legos, Enzo will be happy enough to change back soon.
He's currently lying on the grass not too far from the back door, trying to touch his head with his tail. Company welcome.

kemo_soggy(Not-quite-OOM, Millitimed to last night:
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same
When temptation calls, the air hangs)
Moist didn't have a very restful night, but he's done his best to ignore that (and the impending decision, which is a lot harder than he would've thought) today. He's dreading that video screen reappearing, really.
But first, he actually notices how much the room's run up his tab - and that no one seems to have got around to bartending yet. He doesn't know how well stepping in will work, but he's more than willing to try.
Specials:
Four Horsemen
Evil Tea
Devil's Advocate
Half off for anyone taking advantage of Cubefall
And with that, Happy Hour is on. Hopefully, the video screen won't reappear until after he's done.
(OOC: Open for new tags until at least midnight EST. Decent chances of Doc thread-crashing.)

May. 29th, 2009 09:02 pmcoconutextract.livejournal.comDay two of cancer-free Izzie starts with her enjoying a luxurious bubble bath in her room. From there, it's only a matter of time before she makes it downstairs and outside for the afternoon, to take a refreshing swim and enjoy the beautiful weather for as long as she's able.
When night falls, she heads back inside to spoil herself on a healthy dinner and a drink or two.
Should anyone stumble upon her at this point, she'll be well on her way to enjoying that second drink.
(It might be her third. We won't say a word otherwise.)

verse-libre.livejournal.comArchy has been having a wonderful time. He has been writing poetry pretty much from the moment he wakes up from the moment he drops into sleep (slumped over the typewriter, usually) and he can use the shift key and it's awesome.
So there's a table that's covered with crumpled papers, cigarette butts, cups of coffee and half-eaten sandwiches, and there's a tall human hunched over a typewriter, typing furiously, while he can.

Coreen is outside.
She's wearing a long white cotton dress, and the bottom of it is getting progressively more wet as her feet sit in the edge of the lake. She's wadded up a sweater and is using it as a pillow as she looks at the stars.
Problems.
She uses her finger to connect the nearly-forgotten constellations that were conjured up in her mind. Eighth grade was a bitch of a year.
Distractable.

May. 29th, 2009 09:43 pmostro_gothNear the furnace, there is a large, ornate, high-backed chair; over, it royal purple cloak is draped.
On its back, instead of some inanimate ornament, a large golden eagle is perched.
However, the dramatic effect is somewhat marred by the fact that the chair is not made of wood and upholstery, but built painstakingly of legos.*
*Teja has no idea that is what the small smooth bricks with the odd little knobs on top are called, but it is.-

"A robot me? Why would I want to be a robot me? Why is there a robot me? Okay, that one's cute, but I have a strong personal anti-litter box policy. Why can't I be, I don't know, Britney Spears, or -- Cindy Crawford, or something?"
"Oh."
"That's really unsettling."

May. 29th, 2009 10:26 pmfiery_ringThere is something fluffy climbing up to the rafters.
No, it's not a cat, it's a panther cub. And Carlotta is enjoying the change of shape.
However when she gets up to the top of the rafters, she suddenly realises that she's not entirely sure she can get down again. She may be a panther, but she's a very little panther.
She pads along the rafters for a few minutes looking for a way down. When she doesn't succeed, she sits on a low beam and meows pathetically at passers by in search of assistance.

May. 29th, 2009 10:39 pmtheflyingsquirlOne sqrlbot, out back behind the bar with his throwing knives and a target.
Normally he'd eat, but he's not hungry. Or he'd climb trees, but with no tail, and with mechanical muscles, his strength and balance is off. But he's as good with the knives as he was back as a teenager in the circus, and it helps to focus him.
The one good thing about being a temporary robot is that it makes pretending to be in a good mood that much easier.
Botherable, just as long as you don't get between him and the target.

May. 29th, 2009 11:08 pmstuck-mynock.livejournal.comThere's a polar bear by the lake.
It's a little too warm for him out there, so he's got some very big sunglasses, a large leather chair, a fan, and a very big icy drink in a glass that looks suspiciously like it was made to be held by bears.
He's botherable, at the moment, since he's really just chilling.
