milliways_bar | Axel's Heartday Party

Yrael actually enters the bar through the front door, tonight, New Orleans disappearing as it closes behind him. When he asks, Bar is helpful enough to provide a number of blank posterboards for his use, plus a box of markers.

Soon, identical (apart from little variations due to being hand-written) posters adorn the Milliways notice board, the door to the lake area, the wall next to the stairs, the wall next to the Observation Window, and the back of the front door to the bar. They say:

Axel's Heartday Party
Who Are Invited: Any and all friends of Axel
Where Is It Held: Club Ampersand in New Orleans, USA, on an Earth
When: All night tonight and into tomorrow
How Do We Get There: Talk to the guy in white by the front door.

And indeed, there's an Yrael by the door, waiting to take people through the door to the party.

(ooc: Party post is through that link! Feel free to handwave getting through the door, if you want, though Yrael will be around for threads here, as well. The party post is open indefinitely. Have fun! ^__^)

Jason's noticed that sign and is approaching Yrael with a smirk.

"Nice idea, having a party at Ampersand."

He pauses, grinning. "Don't know if I'm gonna be able to go or not, though. Not sure I could handle another night at Ampersand with you."

"If I remember correctly, the Ampersand only contributed a small percentage of the night in question," the Yrael leaning by the door replies, grinning.

"And if you can't handle what happened at the Ampersand, well..." There is a not'cat looking askance at you, Jason.

Jason narrows his eyes. "Ok, let me rephrase: I'm not sure I should go back to New Orleans with you. At least, not unless it's absolutely necessary."

Or if he gets really drunk.

"I can handle a club..." he mutters.

Yrael smugs. "...but not me?"

"I won't take you to the Big Easy city of temptations unless you want to go, Jason. You know that."

Jason gives him a Look. "I think I held my own alongside a Bright Shiner pretty well. You were the one out of their element by the way."

He leans in and bumps Yrael with his shoulder. "Yeah, bro; I know. We'll go again sometime, just...later."

"What, now I can be an old pro at it, too?" Yrael smirks slightly, bumping Jason back. "Whenever you need. Whenever you want."

Jason snorts. "Hardly."

"So what's this party about? I don't know this guy, Axel."

"He's a friend. A good friend," Yrael grins. "Another dancer-type, as I tend to collect them for some reason. You might like him."

"Though he's another with a claim to the couch's loyalty."

"The couch isn't that fickle."

"So...heartday?"

"She probably has more people who think they're her one-and-only than we know about, my friend. It's time to face facts," Yrael says, patting Jason on the shoulder.

"And yes, heartday. He received his heart a year ago, today."

Jason blinks, though whether it's in response to the couch statement or the heart statement.

"Wow, the things you miss in a year. So...this Axel guy...didn't have a heart?"

"Yeah," Yrael replies. "Had it literally taken by the forces of darkness, which left him living on willpower and sheer bloody-mindedness for some number of years, needing his heart to be whole."

Jason blinks.

"Damn. And I thought I had it bad."

"He's whole, now, so all is well," he grins. "Fitted with a custom-made heart, whole and happy. Or at least able to be happy, now."

Jason laughs out loud. "Only in Milliways, man. So, you playing host all night? I was thinking I'd go for a run. Unless, of course, you think you'd be up to some morning recon."

"I'm the guests' way in, since it's in New Orleans," Yrael shrugs. "Axel wanted some place warmer than Scotland at midwinter."

"Catch me in the morning, and we can go running."

He nods. "I don't blame him. But that's good by me: I'll use it as an excuse to snuggle a little closer to Khem tonight. Then when she's up at the ass-crack of dawn to work, I can have her wake me too."

"Sounds like a good plan," Yrael grins. "Though you may encounter some resistance, trying to wake me up tomorrow."

Jason laughs, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "I'm sure I can think of something."

He turns towards a waiting couch to have his supper. "Have fun! Oh! And see if you can't...see things from the other side while you're in New Orleans." He winks and laughs.

Yrael laughs back. "Probably not this time, my friend. We've rented the place for the night."

"But the thought is appreciated."
