It takes a couple nanos for Enzo to notice today's costume change. He's actually in the process of taking a seat with a bowl of three-tier chili when he realizes that his uniform has gone from blue to purple, and the pads, belt and trim are shiny gold. His own skin and hair complete the colour scheme.

"Man, these holidays come close together."

For some people, Mardi Gras means drink. Or garish costumes. Or jazz. For Alex Knox, it means food. Food that is often imitated outside of New Orleans, but never successfully. With that in mind, Knox asks the bar for "something you cannot get in Gotham." (For the record, there are two pretty good Cajun restaurants in Gotham, but neither compares with the real thing.)

Knox thus finds himself studying an oyster shell containing a mix of several things he can't name. He's not sure he wants to eat it, but it smells good. And the note that comes with the meal says this was a mainstay at a long-since defunct eatery of some renown, so he thinks it will be okay.

And if it's not, he can at least look forward to a dessert of Cafe Du Monde beignets and cafe au lait.

Oh, and the bar has also given Alex a cap celebrating the Super Bowl champion Saints. Which isn't an impossible thing to consider - the Saints of Knox's day are pretty good - so much as just something to look forward to. Since he bets that the Mardi Gras after that will be something really amazing.

Chandler's recently discovered that time doesn't match between Milliways and Manhattan. The past two weeks at Milliways have been a very hectic month for him back home.

First, there was the night he and the guys spent in the ER after a Rangers game.

Then, he had the world's worst break-up from his girlfriend at Central Perk, though as it turns out, that could not have possibly been better-timed.

And then last night, he went to see the most god-awful play. But on the plus side, he met someone new.

Millitimed to the night of February 1st. Please note: Contents should be considered triggery. Kate lets Doc in on a secret she's been keeping since October. No warnings, save for the aforementioned triggery material, and therefore rated NSFW (reader use discretion).]

A chain of events which started a few weeks ago (Milli-time) comes to a head as the door opens today and a girl of some four years enters the bar. She hasn't realized that her surroundings have changed as she is currently focused on the hand held computer she is holding.

Meanwhile, a note appears on the top of Bar and a random breeze catches it. It flutters around the room to land on the tray of a wait-rat who just so happens to be walking toward the little girl. The rat glances at the note, which is addressed to one Valeria Richards, and smoothly alters his course to intercept the a fore mentioned girl. The rat chitters to get her attention and then taps her shoulder when that doesn't work. Startled, the girl jumps and the rat hands her the note before continuing on its original errand.

The little girl, Valeria one could assume, reads the note and slowly sinks into a nearby booth.

"Wow," she manages to say as she looks around the room.

This could be a Mardi Gras transformation but it's not.

[OOC-This is the Valeria from current MU canon. She is not the Valeria who lives in the bar and while she has no powers, she is smarter than her dad. Open till it scrolls or forever, have fun!]

Castle's learned that the door to Milliways only appears exactly when it wants to, which is why he's been carrying the first part of Beckett's Valentine's Day gift around under his arm all day. While he writes a note, Bar produces a small bundle of flowers, which Castle takes as a subtle comment on the fact that a formicarium might not be the best way to win a lady's affection on Valentine's Day.

Castle has never had a problem with constructive criticism.

It's bright and sunny in the Wasteland today, though the temperature is starting to cool off, at least a little bit. Ellen's not sure what to think of that. It doesn't much matter, though. The door from Springvale opened as reliably as the door from her own place in Megaton, that's what's important. That and the ants are behaving themselves.

She's going to sit down, pull off her helmet, feed Dogmeat, and go over what maintenance she can manage on her armor for a while. She promised Chandler she'd bring him through to see Megaton, but that doesn't mean she won't be interested in talking to other people in the meantime.

Ginny is officially tired of being bound. She wants to go home it doesn't matter if her bed here is more comfortable. Nor that there is really nothing to complain about. She's ridden her broom over the lake so many times she's sure she knows the lay out. So walking down stairs settling at a table she orders tea and biscuits enough to share if anyone should want to.

Ryan walks in laughing as he looks around. This wasn't were he was expecting to be, He was sure he was walking in to a bar with a friend from work. Well he ends up in a bar but the friend not so much, He's just glad that he got the punch line of the joke before he walked in.

ps_you_look_hot

A priest, an inventor, and a vampire walks into a bar...

He knows something has changed, and when he looks down at his attire, he growls softly and curses under his breath before making his way to the bar.

"A priest? Really?" He tries to at least take off the white collar, but it seems Bar is having none of that.

"Fine. The least you can do is give me some Atlantean to make up for it." A large glass appears, and Nikola grumbles his way over to a chair by the fire.

Either Ben is on his way to Mardi Gras celebration or a Carmen Miranda appreciation party when he enters Milliways today.

"Happy Mardi Gras everyone!" he yells out when he sees where he is.

Well, that answers that question.

Mallory comes into the bar laughing, dressed in a skimpy outfit that she wasn't wearing when she left home.

"Ah, crap. It's Mardi Gras, isn't it?"

Felix, when he enters tonight, is wearing a rather strange outfit. (The man's.)

He notices he's not the only person... unusually attired tonight. He's probably one of only a few among that group that was like that no the other side of the Door, though.

With a building full of seniors three months away from graduation, Mardi Gras festivities in Parker’s dorm had been somewhat casual. But where is it written that a Venetian mask doesn’t go with jeans and a tee shirt?

Which is how Parker is attired when she comes into the bar this evening.

It’s funny how, when you wear a mask for three hours, you can forget it’s there. Even when it slightly impedes your ability to see.

She’s not aiming to (literally) bump into anyone, but her peripheral vision isn’t what it should be at the moment.

When Ganymede comes into the bar today, he isn't aware it's any sort of holiday. Or he wasn't until he--now she looked down. He's familiar with modern clothing, but the incredibly short red dress had definitely been unexpected, though not bad. The silver half mask had to come off, though, as she couldn't see.

Well...this is certainly odd.

In one corner of the bar is a circle of chairs, surrounding a table full of food. Today the speciality is pastries - pain au chocolat, cinnamon swirls, danishes, etc.

In the middle is a big sign, which someone has ~~vandalised~~ decorated with stickers of smiley faces during the cause of the week.

As she told someone the other night, it really is too cold to be outside with a bonfire.

But not all bonfires need to be inside.

There's a small pyro, with a small fire, and a rather large pile of s'more fixin's.

Life is good. :)

The woman who steps through the Door is glamorous to the point of parody, with an impossible fall of sleekly wavy blonde hair, impeccably arched eyebrows, and a lacy black dress that doesn't look as though anyone should be able to move in it without copious amount of duct tape in some spots and Crisco in others.

Judging from the way she smooths her hands along the fabric, though, and then smirks at herself in a mirror that wasn't there a few seconds ago, the new look suits Applegate just fine.

[OOC: Open till it scrolls.]

agloriousthing

The Pirate King has no idea about Mardi Gras, but the Pirate King is in a good mood since he just got to throw Frederic over the side and gets to drink sherry.

So he's humming and followed by just how glorious it is to be a Pirate King as he enters.

As he sees the various outfits, his smile grows to a smirk, perhaps he can find some other ways to celebrate for oh the women of Milliways are rather glorious themselves.

[ oom: It's Ramon and Fiona. Pretty much every link contains adult content, including but not limited to sex and violence. I think the term is oom-dumptastic.

From October and a fist fight in the stables, the aftermath, a reunion after Ramon's week as a tree, a getaway vacation to the Bahamas, Fiona's birthday gifts, and Christmas spent in Switzerland.

Man it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear you whisper and the words that melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My Muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you're so smooth

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that could be so smooth yeah,
Give me your heart
Make it real
Or else forget about it

In a chair by the fireplace there is a woman with a big fruity cocktail, reading a large coffee table book about underwater exploration.

At the moment, she seems utterly fascinated by a picture of a great white shark.
