pattersongsEven when your species customarily sleeps only one hour out of every twenty-seven or twenty-eight, and you yourself have learned to make do on five-minute naps scattered throughout the course of the day, there can still be a situation when there is too much to accomplish and not enough time in which to get it done. And so you wind up at Milliways to do it.
In this case, 'it' currently involves building an amazingly complex molecular model of some kind out of light projections directly over a small slab of glass stamped with the Sirta Foundation logo. And occasionally picking up and sipping from a faintly glowing purple glass with the fruit pieces and little paper umbrella sticking out of it, because c'mon, a guy's gotta get nutrients somewhere.

Mar. 14th, 2012 01:45 pmmnt_raphTo the untrained eye it looks as if Raph is sleeping while sitting up in a chair over near Bar. His arms are folded across his chest, he's leaning back, and his eyes are closed.
To the trained eye, so say someone who's familiar with ambush tactics and/or has sniper training, he's merely resting his eyes.
Of course...it's possible that people might not notice Raph nearly as much as they might the fact that the Lost and Found box is out and lidless. It's amazing just how tantalizing the void can be.

Mar. 14th, 2012 03:20 pmjanebecomesSince she left London, Jane has felt numb, she could not say for certain what she has done with Cassandra in Plymouth. They have walked by the sea and she knows they must have talked but her thoughts keep circling around to Tom telling her they cannot be together.
When a door opens onto Milliways, she stares for quite a long time before walking through. She is not dressed for much company other than her sister with her dark hair in a long braid down her back and a simple blue dress.
It looks as if a battle has been fought here with a great many repairs under way, but Milliways seems to have survived.
When she reaches the counter, she runs a hand along the wood as her tea appears and says quietly, "Thank you. I fear I have missed a great deal."

Mar. 14th, 2012 04:31 pmevilonthelooseThere is a mechanical something scurrying around Milliways, climbing to hard to reach spots, reaching out with flexible, retractable arms, repairing damage, moving on. It is quiet and discreet, but not really sneaking, so people might be wondering what the thing is.
You know, besides some kind of repairing-machine, with a central body about a foot and a half in diameter, four articulated legs for locomotion and those retractable arms with claw and tool ends.
Right now it is applying a coat of anti-rust varnish to some metal bits.

Mar. 14th, 2012 06:21 pmawesome_lillyIt's been a while.
Lilly's not sure entirely how long, because her own personal space-time continuum has gotten a bit timey-wimey spacey-wacey continuum-ish, what with all the traveling and multi-verse hopping. However, she is very clear that there needs to be some boozy-woozy in the mix and Milliways is still her favorite bar.
She bounces in, tan and grinning, aims herself at the bar and… stops, suddenly. Her nose wrinkles.
"Huh." Something's just a little bit off, somehow. Weird.
Oh well. Whatever's going on can only make more sense once she's had a drink.

Mar. 14th, 2012 06:33 pmlilium_evansiaeLily doesn't usually do more than theorize about how to modify Potions until her actual class, but this evening has found her at the end of the universe, experimenting with the Elixir to Induce Euphoria.
As Advanced Potions go, it's relatively straight forward ... until a person drinks it. Then it can produce some interesting side effects. Like nose-tweaking. And excessive singing.
Lily's adjusted the amounts of most of the ingredients, but it still doesn't feel right.
Maybe if she adds peppermint ...
But when she asks Bar for a sprig of peppermint, she also gets a note asking her take care of happy hour.
Lily looks thoughtfully over at her cauldron, and then nods. "All right."
Fifteen minutes later, there's a cauldron full of a sunshine-yellow potion, giving off a sweet smell (with just the tiniest hint of mint to it). The sign next to it reads, "Sample the Elixir to Induce Euphoria, and your first drink is free."
[OOC: The effects of the Elixir should wear off in an hour or two. How exactly it affects your pup is up to you, though the nose-tweaking has been taken care of. Come, play, threadhop, etc.]
[ETA: And I am going to have to ask for slowtime all around -- I've got a headache I can't shake and need to get away from the computer. I'll pick up tags tomorrow. Thanks!]

Mar. 14th, 2012 07:28 pmorchidkaboomAmanda, backing through the door with a large box in her arms, just tripped.
There are now maps and little green plants all over the floor.
She sits up, looks around, and quickly starts picking up the sprouts. She didn't freak out! She's learning.
[ooc: if anyone's going to want to keep a sprout they should probably pm. The plants are harmless otherwise.
also will be slow.]

The Doctor is In
Guppy is sitting in a booth in the main bar, with his sign up. In the meantime, he's studying a pile of papers with a look of bewildered concentration and occasional thinking out loud. He's never even heard of half of these 'Building materials', and he can't quite figure out why they weren't in the initial quote...
"What the hell is a 'Replacement turbomatic drill part'?"
He goes onto the next page and runs his finger down the costs.
"'Replacement bag of concrete to compensate for the one your son poured down the drain'..." Beat. "Oh shit, we have concrete down our drain?!"
