On the occasion of her eleventh birthday, Ingress dreams a little dream of oh, so many things.

OOM: In the House of Arch, Tom realizes something is not as he expected it to be. He and Door are okay with this, it turns out.

OOM: On Shadow, Ingress comes to terms with recent events while making a pie with Sallie.

In the House of Arch, Tom has (mostly) straightened out after his latest evil tendencies relapse. Door is relieved to hear.(This thread Millitimed to Tom's birthday on January 6.)

OOM: A few days ago in the House of Arch, Mal Reynolds visited Tom to offer help, if he could give it.

Sometime later, Tom offered Door his plan to deal with the Old Firm, and everyone else in the Underside. The plan was not as well-thought out as he hoped, and it was definitely not as well-accepted.

Out of Milliways (Milli-timed to a few days ago):

Door brings Ingress the bad news of Croup and Vandemar's return.

It's been a long, hard day in the Nursery Crimes Division. Two new 'straw-into-gold' dens have popped up, and there's been trouble amongst the bears, to say nothing (and please, please say nothing) about the public nuisance complaints about the mold growing from the Old Lady's shoe-shaped house.

But at least he's caught one criminal today.

Alright, fine, it's just a PDR, and one of particularly dubious reality thanks to very poor plot development, but it was causing complaints, and now he won't have to hear about it for a while since getting a tooth fairy through lockup is probably going to take at least a month, what with all the paperwork.

With a sigh he dredges a jam jar out of his coat and unscrews it, releasing the tiny occupant.

"Here you go, now don't... get into trouble?" His instruction ends on a dubious note when he realizes, belatedly, that this is not lockup. "Oh."

"Shit."

(OOC: The challenge: This post is open to tagging by everybody! But there's a catch: You can only tag in with each of your pups once, and that one post has to move the plot along a bit. Srsly, the crazier, the better. This is Milliways, after all. :D Here's your chance to use all of your pups!)

OOM: Earlier today, Ingress brings X to the House of Arch. Tom and Door notice. Preteen attitude ensues!

OOM: (Millitimed to, oh, a little while ago) With a little help, Ingress deals with the bullies who ruined her earlier visit to Valdemar.

OOM: Drastic times call for drastic measures; it's business as usual in the House of Arch.

OOM: On Sunday, May 25th, Ingress had a wonderful ninth birthday party.

OOM: On a fine day on Santo, Tom and Door leave Ingress at the beach for a fun day with her favorite spaceship captain. Marco Polo ensues.

The happy (and child-free) couple meander to the market where someone with their family name meets his progenitors. Santo's Wizarding world is revealed, and Openers of the future discussed.

Afterwards, relaxing on the beach is the only thing left to do, and Tom and Ingress have a familial moment.

All in all, it's a fabulous holiday on a beautiful world.

OOM: (Millitimed to last weekend) Door knows the perfect places in the Underside for celebrating Tom's birthday.

Once a long time ago, when Tom first came to Milliways, Bar would only give him lukewarm tea and not the finest quality of scotch. However, that time is long past, Bar gives him the best, and Tom is quite fond of both her and the people who tend her.

So he's more than happy to step in and take a shift. He's armed with three large bartending guides (including The Swinging Wizard's Guide to Entertaining) and a wand, with which he writes on the board:

Tonight's Specials
Apple Martini
Havana Green
Stinger
Kermit

No, it's not St. Patrick's Day, folks; we just have a Slytherin tending bar.

OOM: Tom, Door, and a trip into a Pensieve

It's been a good day for Amy, a pleasant afternoon with lemonade and ice cream in the garden and long meandering conversations with Meg and Susan and Rosalind.

But now it's time to look in on Milliways and see how the latest absurdity is progressing. After all, she promised Door that she would.

So it's a slightly solemn-looking young queen who comes in this evening.

He asked Bar for a book on magic. He received a book which normally he would have quite enjoyed. What he needed, however, was the Standard Book of Spells, Year One. He didn't understand one word of the book, and he knows, somehow, that that's not usual for him.

This amnesia thing is getting very tiresome. He wants to be himself again. Or at least not so bloody lonely.

Amy comes into the bar, with a rather determined look on her face. She's carrying a letter, carefully sealed with a great deal of pale purple wax. She takes it directly over to one of the House of Arch owls.

"I need you to deliver this to the Lady Door, and only to the Lady Door, and just as soon as she returns. Please?"

The owl takes the letter and blinks at her solemnly.

"Thank you," says Amy.

She turns to head back to Ambergeldar, but if you need to catch her before she leaves, now's the time.

OOM: Ingress had her birthday slumber party last weekend.

Guests arrived and the birthday girl excitedly led everyone to the massive table of sugary snacks. As the night wore on, there were makeovers (including a special one for her dearest Companion with help from Door) and stories, some scary and some not.

While Ingress and the little ones watched movies, the grownups had a chance to chat, too. A grand time was had by all!

OOM: After a week spent taunting and/or traumatizing psychopaths/potential psychopaths,
Tom needs to talk to Door. Once she finishes her chapter, anyway.

OOM: Millitimed to Feb. 22nd - Door's birthday is celebrated, and a special gift is given.

The sun's gone down. The food's been replenished.

So has the booze.

A bonfire's been set up, and is burning.

There are people relaxing , here and there, enjoying the warmth of the fire.

There are others, outside the ring of light, enjoying the darkness.

Don't go inside yet.

The night is young.
