Happy Hour!

[john_not_ronald]

It hasn't been particularly long since John found himself in Milliways last. Only a month or so, but much has happened, and his head is still rather buzzing with it. Wendigo and Shadow-Born, and Jack losing his shadow, and seeing a boy-king claim his heritage, and Jack's fall and redemption.

And coming back to Staffordshire just in time for Edith to tell him that she's expecting (though that's a happiness he'll keep to himself for the time being).

He's a bit surprised to find himself here, really. He'd almost thought that Milliways must be connected to the Archipelago somehow and that he wouldn't find it again until he returned there, and he's pleased to discover that's not the case.

So when he steps up to the bar to order himself a drink and is given a napkin requesting a favor instead, he smiles and asks if there are any instructions, gets pointed in the direction of the Book, and cheerfully takes his place behind the bar, rummaging through said book for a moment before posting the evening's specials.


Specials:

Dragon's Blood

Dragon's Breath

The Army John



After a quick trip to the kitchen, he hastily adds:

Free slice of blueberry pie in exchange for a story about something (or someone) you love


He's rather happy to be home for a while.

"It's a very good rule in combat. What are you training for, at the Academy?"

[a1enzo]

Enzo hesitates. "I'm a Guardian cadet, but... I'm not sure how much of that I can explain without you knowing about computers. It's sort of a special forces thing."

[john_not_ronald]

"Special forces? Were you chosen for that?"

[a1enzo]

He nods proudly. "My brother-in-law sponsored me, and the Prime Guardian came to give me my protocol personally! Best birthday present ever."

[john_not_ronald]

"That's very impressive," John says, smiling. "Congratulations."

[a1enzo]

"Thanks!" He grins. "Does that count as a pie story? I didn't even get to the parts about my dad and the pirate party."

[john_not_ronald]

"If it's something you love, it counts as a pie story," John says with a chuckle. "Though I don't have any digital pie, and I'm not sure where I'd get it."

[a1enzo]

"It's cool, we've got a digitizing laser upstairs."

[john_not_ronald]

"Very well, then." John slices him a generous piece and slides it across the bar.

[a1enzo]

"Thanks! Be right back!"

He grabs the plate and heads for the stairs. A few minutes later he returns with a slice of pie that looks similar, but far too smooth and regular of shape, like the boy himself.

John looks at it curiously, but doesn't comment on it.

[a1enzo]

"Ta-daa!" Enzo declares, reseating himself and picking up a fork. "Totally sprite-safe."

Om nom nom.
