[OOM: They're calling her the Angel of Helmand.]

What's it like lugging two duffel bags loaded with what you are quite sure are bricks five hundred yards to the nearest door?

The exact opposite of fun, that's what.

It's also why Voodoo comes in back-first. Well - shoulder-first, anyway.

Then he sets the duffel bags down on a nearby table and starts looking for Korra.

[OOM: The return of a legend and an old friend make for a very confused 84.]

Julie sits at a table today, half-heartedly sipping at a choco-berry blast and spinning a soccer ball while wondering why grownups always make things so complicated.

While outside, there is a green polar bear dog tearing it up around the lake. BB likes this new form he does.

There is a not'cat at the bar, discussing with the Bar the fish-shaped cake that had appeared when he had approached her. It is decorated with a colorful candle in the shape of an eight.

"You do know it's been much longer for me, right?" he asks, leaning his elbows on the counter top. "Three times as long, in fact."

The napkin that appears in reply is accompanied by a party-hat. It is even more desperately bright and colorful than the candle.

"And why Earth-years, anyway? Answer me that."

Or.... the bar could just give him a celebratory plate of sashimi to shut him up.

Surprisingly, it works... for now. Come have a piece of cake.

(ooc: Eight years ago today, a snarky, bitter Bright Shiner found his way into Milliways, and I found myself an entire world of friends. There has been TOO MUCH AWESOME to ennumerate adequately, so let me say this: I can't imagine my life without y'all. You are loved.)

In the third and final month of their training, a team of bull-dancers is expected to go to the field, and take their bull. It's simply enough done, in theory: go with ropes and nets, and tether a cow under a tree, and wait. Bulls being what they are, even the Cretan ones with their slow wits, simple does not always mean safe. Sometimes, someone is hurt, or killed. The bull is sacred, after all, and the dancers are not allowed to hurt him even to save their lives. Only to distract and restrain him.

Sometimes, the bulls seem almost to know this.

The front door SLAMS open in a tumult of hooves and dust and the bawling of angry cattle. Splinters fly everywhere- from the floor, mostly, though there is a hoof-strike that does the door itself some damage. The beast that thunders through, snorting and pawing the floor, is typical of his breed: a great red-brown beast with a splash of white across his muzzle, long curving horns that stretch straight forward, fifteen hundred pounds of muscle and sinew.

And one bull-dancer, a dark-haired girl of fifteen years and slight build, frantically clinging to his left horn and shouting, "Someone distract him before he kills someone! I can't hold on much longer!"



[OOC: Feel free to react however you like, but Thalestris has to return a living, unharmed bull to Crete when she goes back, so I would greatly appreciate it if pups who tag this post refrain from shooting the beast or other such unpleasantness. He'll be causing property damage, but I've got the okay for that. Also, as usual, Thalestris visual appearance notice. Thanks!]

Darius is a bit hesitant when he comes into the bar this evening. He's still settling in in District Twelve, and it seems like he keeps walking down the wrong corridor. Whether he did or not tonight, he'll never know, since the corridor in question seems to be that fascinating bar. He's not at all unhappy about this. Nor is he unhappy about the napkin that pops up asking him to tend bar.

He's still trying to figure out this bartending schtick, so he decides on a creative specials board.

1/2 off any drink if you let me pick what goes into it


This way, he can learn what tastes good and what doesn't, right?

[OOM: Shortly after sending a message to The Devil that he can't see her any more, Gus gets surprised with a blind date arranged by Shawn & Juliet. Thankfully, Nancy's a really nice girl... even if it's nothing like his normal dates. Hey, his usual dates don't make it past dinner and the ones that do usually end up being worse than not having a date at all.

I'm reflecting all my childhood dreams
My ideas of love weren't as foolish as they seemed
If I don't start looking now, I'll be left behind

Carlotta is by the fire, with a mug of warm tea, and a stack of circus accounts to get through. There's a few more mouths to feed now, and it's important to make sure everyone is getting enough to live off, even if they still have rationing.

Botherable.
