After he was last in in Bar, William slowly made it home and did what he could to keep his family from not worrying too much.

About a week passed and his bruises turned colors but whatever Ellen gave him has kept his ribs from being too bad, its his knee that makes things hard. His mother tried to get him to rest but Mark isn't strong enough yet to do everything so he just keeps going and then sleeps as much as he can.

It turns out they had a little bit of laudanum left over and so he's had a few drops to help him sleep but when he enters Milliways, he's pale with pain and leans on the first chair he can find.

After a few tries and hisses, he makes it to one of the couches and puts his leg up as he arranges himself. Then he searches for a wait rat and orders some ice, food and books, he's going to take advantage of whatever time he has here to rest.

It is no exaggeration to say that the bridge crew of the Enterprise have traveled faster than any other human beings. And yet those moments of hyper-accelerated speed through time itself didn't really feel like going fast. Something was missing.

This might be why Jim likes riding. Why he's got Rachat racing along at top speed today. Because if there's no wind in your hair, if there's no obvious element of risk, it's not really going fast. Even if Rachat is nowhere near warp 22.5.

[OOM sorta:

These paper wings will carry me, and I will learn to fly.

By some grace (or by complaints from the waitstaff), Kate returns several hours later by another means. Beaut's hooves touch down on verdant, spongy soil; tree limbs grab at Kate's hair. After realizing she's back in Milliways — and continuing the day's ride with a companion — she steers Beaut back to the stables.

You can catch her there for a few hours, tending to the horses and getting her mount settled back in for the night. But as soon as that's done, she heads indoors to shower off the sweat and stink, and then settles at the bar for supper.

Feeling a good deal lighter than she has in many long weeks.


[ooc: Open all week! Catch Kate at any point you like.]

Mary Bennet comes downstairs in the same brown dress she arrived in Milliways wearing (now much more wrinkled for being slept in). She spares one glance for the wall where the door is supposed to be, then, looking neither right nor left, walks across the room to the Bar.

She has a folded piece of paper in one hand and the iron hair curler clutched in the other. Just in case.

At the Bar, Mary hesitates only a moment. She’s seen this done and it looked straightforward enough. She’s going to need food, but first things first. Stiffly, as if speaking to someone she’d rather not speak to (which is essentially the case) Mary addresses the Bar.

“If you are insistent on keeping me captive here, there are some things I require.” She lays her list down on the bar. “You may, of course, spare yourself the trouble and allow me to go home.”

The list disappears and, a moment later, a wicker basket appears in its place.

Mary tries hard not to look dejected. She’d much rather have had a door.

Following something of an impulse, Moiraine has brought her latest journal-- full of notes on the oral history of Twin Peaks, as learned through the stories she's been collecting from people-- into the bar to review them there.

She fully intends to get around to it eventually, but right at the moment the Aes Sedai appears to be enjoying a cup of tea and a peaceful moment or two.



[OOC: Slowtime in effect as of 11 pm MT. Post open until it scrolls. Thanks!]

squint your eyes and hope real hard,
