There's a guy sitting on the porch swing near the lake, crutches propped nearby, smoking a cigarette as he watches a dodo chase after the fireflies.

The grounds sure as hell look like they've seen better days -- Gaeta has no frakking idea what could have ripped up the ground like that. But Gogo doesn't seem to mind, and it's not like Gaeta cares too much about it anyway.

The stars glimmer with the unique brightness of a far removed place: barely any light pollution, barely any people. Every so often, Gaeta looks up to take in the view.

Ingress has grown so very tall.

Puck's feelings on the subject have not really progressed past that single observation: Ingress has grown tall.

Ingress has grown tall, and Havelock's coup proceeds in all its blandness, and there is a chill entering into the Milliways air.

He's not quite sure what to make of it. In the meantime, he has taken a seat on a table near the Bar, and is absently munching on cheese and fruit. Those he sees, he is likely to regard with curiosity, or with a faint smile.

Out back there is a shrieking, whooping noise--followed very swiftly by what looks to the untrained eye like a technicolor pterodactyl and rider landing on the grass. Tsu'tey takes the time while his ikran's wings flap and fold in to study his surroundings. This? This was not what he had intended to fly into; his tail whiplashes around behind his ankles as large amber-colored eyes survey the landscape. The trees here are too small, he thinks, not pleased. Absently the ikran's head gets a pet, extending to the creature's neck as he steps off, detaching the queue with a sweep of his hand.

Sky-People. Honestly.

When's the last time you saw an elephant in a bar? Sitting on a table? There's one there now that (usually) answers to the name of Stampy.

Sitting cross-legged on the floor in front of the table, there's a (half) giant trying to get the miniphant to do small tricks by tempting her with peanut butter filled pretzels from a bag in his hand. They're meeting with limited success.

Feel free to come by and chat!

Hagrid is happy.

Why is Hagrid happy?

He has his friend Stampy the tinyphant with him today, for a romp outside!

They are currently playing fetch with one of Stampy's squeaky toys and keeping a sharp look out for birds. Come and say hello and offer Stampy treats!

[[OOC: My most sincere apologies to little Stampy, who is, in fact, a GIRL. Just pretend I used the correct pronouns throughout!]]

A ship's captain and an ex-Companion walk into a bar, bickering in the way that old married couples do. Though if you told them that, they'd probably shoot you.

"...and we agreed to the terms of the bet before we started playing, 'Nara. Am I gonna to have to start tellin everyone you're a welsher?"

"Long pai is a stupid game, anyway." There may be a pout in there somewhere.

"You agreed to buy me lunch. Now pay up." A smirk. "If you're sweet, I won't order lobster."

[ooc: both muns are at work, so responses may be a bit slow.]

Harry, it seems, has gone off to deal with horrible space monkeys.

Annie had to reread that note from the Bar several times; it was one of those incidents where no matter what rearrangement of things she tried, she couldn't get the words to make any more sense than on the first go. Harry, Cooper, and Spoon are off dealing with horrible terrifying space monkeys- and in Shetland, of all places.

Monkeys. With fear pheromones, and gigantic visible head implements, and-

Monkeys.

Sod it, she's not even bothering to claim it's a test recipe today. She's just made up an extra-large batch of triple-chocolate-chip cookies with sourdough starter (keeps 'em nice and chewy) and she's eating the damned things at a table in the Bar herself, but she might share if asked. Just be prepared for indignant Englishwoman fuming.

[OOM. A lethargic Indy and a battle-bloody Mel catch up in the equatorial climes of Suite 134. Legoland souvenirs are gifted before the pair dedicate the rest of their Tuesday afternoon to ice cream, tinyphant tormenting, and theories on several Very Important Matters.]

Moon is outside tonight.

The sky is dark, only the stars above, since tonight is the first night of the new moon. She's seated on the bank of the lake, dressed all in black, and staring up at the sky. Mons and Mare are near, alert while their mistress is distracted.

It's a dark night and a dark mood.

[OOM: Outside, a couple of familiar faces meet. Crack happens.]

henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com

[OOM. Indy, Mel, and their wards arrive at a floor that is definitely not the garage. Unfortunate events transpire that deny the party a quick return, and a monster of an adventure unfolds as they try and get back. It makes Mel and Indy's recent grab look like a walk in the park.

Rated PG-13 for violence, incredible action sequences and a solitary expletive.]

[OOM. Some time after Mike has eaten, he sends Mel up to get some rest. When she wakes, a new project presents itself, in the form of a bored explorer. Plans for a day of fun are made and embarked upon.

But all is not as it seems?

To be continued...]

Sergeant Wells managed to exhaust himself pretty thoroughly last night, which is the only reason he got to sleep at all. Possibly this is why he awoke so late this morning. He didn't bother much with breakfast- one of those nutrient drinks that Joe favoured- before going outside.

Sprinting practice again, today. Not the same as last time, though. He's moving towards the day when he'll brave that explosion that's waiting for him, and that means practicing running under the closest he can manage to those conditions. No fire, yet. No explosions, at all. Just a pack with a twenty-five pound bag from last night in it, to simulate the weight of his armour and then some. Once he can get his time with that back down to ten seconds for the hundred meters, he'll start adding bits of armour, working from the feet up.

He's got until the next full moon, he reckons. He's not going home until he's sure he's got the beast under control. He's got time to learn.

[OOM: Early this morning, Alanna and Adam stumble upon Stampy. Literally. Later, Bernard finds them in the kitchen, and the cat is finally out of the bag.]

(The One with the Snakes)

[Waffles in 134: It is demonstrated onces more why sleeping Slayers should be left to lie, as todays guests find the hosts in the aftermath of last night's terrible carnage. Indy's attempts to get to the bottom of Alanna's love life are cut short by the sudden appearance of a representative of the order Squamata. Unfortunately, no one informed the perpetrators of the recent switch in phobias between the boys. Guest starring Adam Young and Alanna of Trebond]

(The One with the Lost Sheep...)

[Waffles in 134: Disaster is imminent in the suite as the chef is no where to be found and guests start to arrive, prompting a full-blown investigation. What do all the vampire references mean? Why is there waffle mix under the sink? What do Mel and Lilly actually get up to in 132? More importantly, where's Mikey? None of these questions answered satisfactorily in this week's action packed episode. Guest starring Barry Allen and Sara Sidle]

( Two men, a slayer, and a baby... )

( Patio aeroplanes... )

[Summary: Mike, Indy and Mel try to get to grips with the mysteries of Endless child care, or just child care in general really. Mel doesn't seem like her usual snarky self, so Indy clears out to let the ex-turtle and slayer talk. He takes Derry to the patio, where poor Alanna is bemused. But she soon buys into the zoomy aeroplane cuteness as she gets her first real hands-on experience with a baby.]

Indy has given up on study for a bit. The rune notes are still at hand, but they are concealed within a new black leather docket portfolio. Instead of his recent conscientiousness, Indy is enjoying Hannibal's exquisite Gamberi alla Fra Diavolo and spending a bit of quality time with Stampy. Either that, or the sitter didn't show up tonight.

Her leash is looped under his chair leg and she's waiting patiently for any tit bits that may be offered her way when Indy is done. Good luck on that one...

[Summary: Ingress is excited about the second tiny!phant she's met, and gets to feed her peanuts while Indy facepalms at the revelation that her pet frog, Hubert, is a result of his April Fool's prank. Inara joins Indy and Stampy and makes a few queries as to his relationship with Delia before she finds out that Indy and Mal have talked. But she seems satisfied that Indy didn't work out any of the awkward details, and the conversation moves on to duels and swordplay before she leaves. Mike swings by with bad guitar-playing to boot, and all manner of typical banter is exchanged. Indy suggests Mike should get Mel a bikini, and also explains the honey dust phenomena. Mike wanders off to look for Mel after serious baby-care nonchalance. The next twenty-four hours are going to be very interesting...]

But doom is ahead as he discovers that the waffle iron is still on the fritz after Indy's disastrous attempt to cook last week...]

( The interview... )

[Summary: Having responded to the ad, Hagrid is interviewed for the Stampy sitting job by two very ~~bored~~ discriminating room mates. Indy is a little crazy, Mike is Mike, and it's also Thursday...]

Having finished studying for the day, and then decorating her room for Snow's party, Claire is now swimming laps in the lake.

It's a lovely day and she wouldn't mind some company.

[[Summary: Claire talks to Faith about Sawyer, Connor and immortality. Jack draws her a picture of herself and gives her a flower. She also finds out he's a fertility god and pledges to celebrate his festivals. Ahem. Indy and Stampy come by for he cute. Helen drops by to talk about their plans to test the boundaries of the grounds. And Charlie comes by to tell her he and Bartleby are off to New Orleans.]]

On his way upstairs Indy takes a piece of paper out of his pocket and tacks it to the noticeboard. There are sign-up sheets attached to the bottom.

( Different views on Thursdays... )

[Summary: Eska drops by to check up on Stampy and ends up with an eyeful... and some bagels, before Lilly shows just how easy it is to fit in around here. Rated R for implicit nudity, but shot with tasteful camera angles]
