There's a Man in Black striding in through the Door. It's been quite a while, and he wasn't actually expecting to end up here tonight. As the Door quietly shuts behind him, he slips that shiny black phone of his back into an inner pocket of his Suit, and takes a seat at the Bar. As usual, he makes a point of ignoring that pain-in-the-ass shrink a few seats down.

There's a napkin waiting for him as he settles in. He eyes the writing on it and nods. "Too right, Darlin', been much too long. I'll have the usual, if you please."

A double of Eli Lockhart's finest bourbon appears with a *bamph*. K lifts it up, admiring the look of that wonderful stuff under the lights of Milliways and offers what looks suspiciously like a smile.

"Back in the saddle. About time."

Sam lost track of time and so enters from the back door with a layer of grime on him and Charter Marks glittering around him.

As he sits down, he notices Agent K and says, "Hello, sir, I think we met once before, you had a small device that did a lot of things."

[k_in_black]

Hello... Sameth, isn't it?"

"We do have a lot of devices like that," he adds with a nod.

"How's the bar been treating you?"

[makesthings]

"Yes, that's me. Not too badly. I'm keeping busy. What about yourself?"

Bar provides him with a towel and a large dinner.

[k_in_black]

"Seems like a dog's age since I was last in here."

"Pretty much the same back home. The usual mass alien invasions of Earth and a couple galactic wars. Keeps things interesting."

[makesthings]

"Milliways makes time strange. I went home and so much changed and came back here and not everything did. Interesting can be good, I guess,"

It doesn't feel that way to Sam but some things make more sense just not all of them.

[k_in_black]

"It can. Then again 'interesting' can also be getting swallowed whole by a Galbargian Razorworm without a blaster to shoot your way out again."

K shrugs. "You never know."

[makesthings]

"I've been in enough fights I couldn't win lately. I'm glad to be making things again."

[a1enzo]

"Hey, K!" Whaddaya say?

[k_in_black]

"Hello, Enzo! How's the bar been treating you?"

[a1enzo]

"Can't complain. What's the weirdness lately?"

[k_in_black]

"The usual. Alien invasions of Earth. Couple galactic wars."

"Oh. And the Dentazi tried stealing the planet's entire supply of peach jello again." He shrugs. "It's a thing."

[a1enzo]

So many questions.

The first one that comes out is "...all at once?"

[k_in_black]

"Yeah, I know. Just a slow month, I guess."

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"I'd say. I was beginnin' t'think y'didn't love me anymore." There appears to be a British pyromaniac flicking a peanut at that Man in Black's head.

In love, of course.

[k_in_black]

K, of course, snags it in mid-air, cracks it with the practiced hand of a kid out of Texas and chews with a shake of his head.

"Never happen, Darlin.' Where would I be the next time I needed something blasted all to hell?"

And after a swallow: "How've you been, Ace? Those Daleks learn to climb stairs yet?"

A Man in Black hears rumors, after all.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"You know they do." Ace grumbles, looking decidedly disgruntled. "An' they figure out energy-type shielding. Not impressed."

[k_in_black]

"Shielding now too? What the hell is the galaxy coming to?" he replies with disgust.

Dalek-tipping was a time honored tradition on some worlds, after all.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

That earns him a darkly sardonic look and another flung peanut. It appears that sometimes Ace chooses to honor her monkey roots.
"Same thing it's been heading towards for centuries."

[k_in_black]

K snags that one too. Strictly speaking, a beer would go better with these peanuts, but then few foods really live up to the standard of Eli Lockhart, and K always did have a hard time turning down a good peanut.

"So what's been cooking? Or are you living the quiet life these days?"


K sure hopes not.

[ikissdhimbck]

"Well, my heavenly days!"

It's been some time since she's seen the man in black around these haunts. Strange, as she was just talking about him the other day.

"Good evenin'."

Kate leans against the Bar, keeping only one seat between them. She smiles brightly, and tips her hat.

[k_in_black]

"Hello, Kate!" K grins. "Well, aren't you a vision."

[ikissdhimbck]

She laughs wryly.

"That's right; I put on my very best horse perfume, jus' 'cuz I heard you were comin'."

To be fair, she has had time to clean up since working in the stables this evening.

"How've you been?"

[k_in_black]

"Oh, you know. The usual invasions and galactic wars. Always one damn thing or another." He shrugs. "But, hell, keeps things interesting and all."

"Could do without the planet-wide theft of Earth's peach jello, though."

[ikissdhimbck]

"The usual?"

She carefully arches an eyebrow.

Milliways has tempered her reactions to statements like those.

"Stealin' peaches, now. That's no laughin' matter."

[k_in_black]

"We don't particularly find it too funny either. But the Dentazi seem bound and determined about it. They won't even hear about strawberry or cherry. It's got to be peach and nothing else."
