little_pieces_of_timeDo you see that? The warmer tints of gold and orange and vermillion appearing among the leaf-bedecked trees of the forest. The lengthening shadows and the surprising swiftness of evening. Do you smell that? The smell of damp earth, of warming spices and sharp alcohol. Do you feel that?

Seabirds call amid the sounds of waves and creaking wood. Large pots of spiced cider and rum simmer on the stove, filling the air with the scents of cinnamon and ginger, cloves and cardamom.
Outside, ripening pumpkins can be found scattered among the fading plants of the summer garden. In the open meadow between the bar and lake and forest, a tall and imposing corn maze has sprung up, somehow taking up far much more space than exists there. The cornstalks crowding its entrance rustle in the chill breeze, simultaneously inviting and foreboding, waiting to swallow any who dare step through.
The apple tree beside the Milliways greenhouse is heavy-laden with fruit, and the kitchen rats have set out half-barrels for anyone who wishes to seek out the prettiest and tastiest apples. One group of kitchen staff seem to have found an ancient cider press somewhere in the Milliways cellars, which is being prepared for use under Ivanhoe's meticulous supervision.
[OOC: Welcome to the All-Skate: Autumnal Pirate Edition! All are welcome - yes, that means all. Whether they're retired, deleted, AU, original or already being played by someone else, bring 'em along. Feel free to have Bar update your character's look if you'd like. Theme costumes are encouraged but absolutely not required.
Usual all-skate rules apply:
1. Everyone's stressed out of their mind right now, so have fun! Participating in theme/holiday shenanigans is also not required. <3
2. Communication is key.
3. Gratuitous behavior (either of a violent or sexual nature) will not be tolerated in the bar proper. Take that to an OOM, and then Content Warning the hell out of it before you link it.
4. Please don't be a dick.
