There's no use, is there, in trying to sort out how time works in Milliways: in how it can have been a year and not a year; how time can continue at one pace here and another out there; how Madam Bar knows to mark dates that don't quite align in the timestream of Milliways and that of the world.

Which is to say, when Henry Percy sits down at the Bar this morning, a little cupcake appears before him-- yellow cake, with a blue sugar diamond on the top. And on the napkin beneath, the date is written, very small, in the corner-- Bar perhaps having (correctly) guessed that Harry is not the type to take a careful note of the days.

But this is a date he knows well. Even before the battle, he thought to mark it-- he knew, come what may, it would be a day upon which others would turn, an occasion worth marking, for good or ill. It hadn't quite occurred to him, somehow, that he would not live through it to mark it.

It's the anniversary of the Battle of Shrewsbury.

Out by the Caribbean inlet, Sherlock Holmes is taking advantage of the warm water and mild weather.

(He loves London to the last beat of his heart, but sometimes even he needs a little sun and splashing around.)

Thor is seated at a table, massive arms crossed over his chest and a thoughtful frown on his face.

From his distant and unfocused gaze, that frown is probably not directed at the large and elaborate (and half-eaten) trifle sitting in the middle of the table. But whatever he's thinking about, he could probably stand distraction.

Also, there's more than one spoon, even if they're all sitting neglected at the moment. Bar believes in sharing, and Asgardians believe in hospitality.

(As always when he's in Milliways, the red fabric of one shoulder bears a silver Security star. It might blend into all the other shiny metal he's wearing a bit, but it's there.)
