Happy Birthday Mr. Grimm

[ever_lovin]

 Ben comes in today, back to his usual rocky self. It's his special day, well one of them, but he hasn't noticed yet as he's clutching his head in obvious pain. He'll see where he is soon and maybe Bar will even have something for what ails him.

[OOC: Nutty at work but I didn't want to miss Ben and Jack Kirby's birthday. Slows for now.]

Keep yourself alive

[unglitched]

When the front door opens this evening, it doesn't swing sideways on its hinges. Instead, it slides upward, bending along invisible seams when it reaches the ceiling. Kind of like a garage door.

Thus, it shouldn't be too terribly surprising when a car comes through it.

Well, it's sort of a car and sort of not. It's a lot smaller than your average car, for one thing--sized for a child rather than an adult. Also, while it's shaped roughly like a Formula 1 racing car, it appears to be made out of chocolate-frosted yellow cake and decorated with assorted oversized candies. By all rights, it shouldn't be mobile at all, but here it is, rolling in like any other motor vehicle that happened to be driven in through the front door of a bar.

Maybe the little girl in the driver's seat can explain how that's possible.

[ooc: Open until it scrolls!]

It's been a long while since Milliways saw this particular scrawny street thief, at least as time runs in here. As far as Kim's concerned, it's been less than a fortnight -- but she notices, when she slips through the door, that the whole place seems a little . . . queer, not quite the way she remembers it. Different faces around.

Well, when she sidles up to the bar and orders an ale, it appears just like normal, so that's something. She takes off her cap, shaking the dampness of London's fog off with a frown, and makes for her old spot near the fire.

If she sizes up the pockets of a few gulls out of the corner of her eye, well. Old habits, and all. And it's getting on towards winter, and a little extra coin in her purse wouldn't go amiss. Not that she's lightening pockets around here anymore. Really.

[ooc: Open until the weekend -- expect some slow responses tonight, but tags are welcome!]

Outside in the back garden, two small boys are playing. In a rare moment of leisure for both, they have teamed up to build a giant swing that attaches to a tree and swings out over the lake.

Of course, it helps that Gohan is able to fly, something which caused much staring from Almanzo. But now they are taking it in turns to climb the tree, and launch themselves onto the swing and eventually into the lake.


[tinytag: Gohan, Almanzo Wilder. Catch both or either!]

Valentine has only been in the bar a couple days, but after seeing the sign about the T-minus things, she can't help herself. She has one, and is fussing with it in a corner.

fawkesianPundit is signed on.

[ooc: Slowtime will be in effect soonish, but Val wanted her new shiny.]
