Privacy is hard to come by
Dec. 23rd, 2015 01:06 amjolasveinarEven though they are mostly skulking out of sight, the bar is actually becoming crowded with jólasveinar. Yesterday and today, the most curious of them appeared -- Gluggagægir and Gáttaþefur, the Window Peeper and the Doorway Sniffer, and they are exactly what it says on the tin. The one looks into windows from outside (even higher than ground level, to the probably dismay of some patrons), the other sniffs at doorways, mostly in the hope of fresh bread (of which there now is a shortage, too), but he will sniff out many, many other things while he is at it.
( Icelandic poetry cut for length )
If you catch one of them at it, he will most likely be a bit awkward.
[[OOC: Sorry for the lack of post yesterday; work sucked Ankh water until rather late, and then I still had to pack for my journey home, and I ended up not even starting my private computer. So today, you get two Yule Lads for the price of one.]]

Bartending + Half A First Entrance!
Dec. 23rd, 2015 03:09 pmforceimbalanceWhen the Door briefly morphs into the automatic-sliding-space-ship-door style opening, Anakin steps through the door. Today, however, he does not step through alone. Today he's followed by a little metal rolling friend.
R2-D2 has never been in Milliways before, and when he realizes he is not on the ship, he begins beeping and rocking from side to side in agitation. Anakin looks down in surprise, before looking back up at Milliways. "Calm down, Artoo, it's fine. It's just Milliways." With a casual shrug, he continues on his way to the Bar. R2, meanwhile, just makes a small noise of mild distress and disappointment.
After a moment, he gives up and follows Anakin--who has, in the meantime, received a napkin that he regards with some surprise. While he's busy reading it, a data chip quietly materializes on the counter, and is just as quietly taken by the astromech.
"Uh, sure. Artoo!"
Happy Hour Special:
Bantha Milk Cocktail
Note: this doesn't actually contain Bantha milk. Free drink if someone can come up with a way to make an alcoholic beverage with real Bantha milk.
[[ooc: two bartenders for the price of one--literally. Poor R2. Tag one or both. Some instant slowtimes, but open however long!]]

Hang on to your hangikjöt...
Dec. 23rd, 2015 06:48 pmjolasveinarSomebody's in he rafters again today, fishing for meat with a long hook. However, it's not long enough in every case -- you may catch him dangling from up there, stretching to get at your food.
He'll take it even if it's not hangikjöt, which is the very seasonal meat dish he likes best.
Ketkrókur, sá tólfti,
kunni á ýmsu lag. –
Hann þrammaði í sveitina
á Þorláksmessudag.
Hann krækti sér í tutlu,
þegar kostur var á.
En stundum reyndist stuttur
stauturinn hans þá.
Meat Hook, the twelfth one,
his talent would display
as soon as he arrived
on Saint Thorlak's Day.
He snagged himself a morsel
of meet of any sort,
although his hook at times was
a tiny bit short.
So today, there is a shortage of meat -- you're probably quite happy to be a vegetarian, if you are.
[[OOC: Happy St. Thorlak's day! We should all be grateful that we won't have to eat the traditional dish for the day -- click at your own risk, it is QUITE challenging!]]

Millitimed to Christmas Eve day
Dec. 23rd, 2015 09:35 pmvisible_sarielAt some point during the twenty-fourth of local December, Sariel deposits a number of gifts with Bar. There's also a moment of quiet conversation after the packages vanish, but that could very well have something to do with gifts too, considering the minor flicker the tab board just went through.
((OOC: This post is open to reactions. My previous one is still open to threads. I needed to get this up as I'm elsewhere for RL holidayness from tomorrow morning.))

Dec. 23rd, 2015 09:41 pmguppy_sandhuGuppy has been busy wrapping the last of the Christmas presents. And he had also got a pizza next to him.
But the slices of pizza have been gradually disappearing upwards on a hook, and at first he didn't notice, but after attempting to wrap a plushie Minecraft Creeper, he reached over to get a slice and found the plate empty.
"Huh." He looks around suspiciously, expecting to see a small child or cat lurking around.

onceavikingWhen Eric walks down the stairs, he can tell something is - off. Wrong.
It is.
His door is gone.
He stands for a while and stares at the wall where his door ought to be and then he heads for the couch and flops down, sighing irritably.
It's not the he minds being here. He just hates it when others get to decide.
