Today, somehow, the bar is a riot of purple: delicate bunches of lilac flowers droop like vivid bunting from the rafters, and a tiny glass vase with a single long stem of lilac sits in pride of place at every table.

A huge, battered banner hangs above the bar, proclaiming THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF TREACLE MINE ROAD in careful hand-painted lettering, and the haunted jukebox keeps playing a strange half-bawdy half-sorrow song whose lyrics are approximately ninety percent "How do they rise up?"

An enormous scythe has been propped discreetly against a coat stand in one corner (SOMEONE must be off-duty), and the smell of cooking curry is wafting from the kitchens.

If you're wearing any purple at all, there's a high chance that you might, just possibly, receive a hard-boiled egg with your food order. There's certainly a very strong likelihood of you being offered a drink of scumble, a fiercely alcoholic concoction of apples. (Well, mostly apples.)

Every so often, an empty peanut shell floats gently down from somewhere high up in the rafters. Look carefully enough and high enough up there, and you might see the very orange Librarian responsible. (Just, whatever you do, don't use the M-word.)

Happy Glorious 25th May, Milliways. May all your little angels rise up.

[OOC: Usual all-skate rules apply:
1. Everyone's stressed out of their mind right now, so have fun! Participating in theme/holiday shenanigans is also not required. <3
2. Communication is key.
3. Gratuitous behaviour (of either a violent or sexual nature) will not be tolerated in the bar proper. Take that to an OOM, and then Content Warning the hell out of it before you link it.
4. Please don't be a dick.
This post is open forever.]

Catherine in a booth, going over a load of paperwork and looking distinctly exhausted and murderous; Nina at the bar, drinking heavily and looking unfocused; Susan by the window, looking distant and glum; the Librarian on the floor with a stack of books and a banana, looking rather cheerful with all things considered.

All pups in the bar, ready for tags.


[ooc: Warnings herein for some swearing and whitetext.]

[ooc 2: Must slowtime for work, will pick up all tags as soon as possible :(]

Ray was supposed to take the late night/early morning shift of guard duty on Danny Phantom today, but the way his hours worked out, he's actually in the Bar in time for lunch.

w00t.

Anyway, there's a Ghostbuster with a sandwich and a book on qigong and a quietly bleeping PKE meter at one of the tables, so.

Pre-Milliways: Rincewind falls off the Disc,

Through the door falls a man dressed in red robes, and a red hat with "Wizzard" embroidered on it, with sequins and other flashy things, which means either he's a really powerful wizard with bad spelling, or he's seriously overcompensating. His eyes are closed, and stay closed a while longer. Then he noticed he's breathing.

Rincewind slowly opens one eye, then closes it again, quickly. Then, just as quickly, he opens both eyes... and sees this. A wail escapes him, and he points at Death. "I knew it! I knew it! I didn't even get to finish my life, and now you're here for me! I mean, 16 was at least better than 15!"

Angua enters the bar from the front door and shakes her hair free of the confines of her helmet, before proceeding towards the Bar.

Full moons aside, she's been heading up to the roof at semi regular intervals this last couple of weeks, and that's really where she's heading now, but not before picking up a supply of easily chewable food and a crate of Raph's favourite beer (and some bottles of Winkles for her) to take with her.

Maybe you'll catch her before she heads outside?

*Brian sits on the floor, crosslegged. Yes, he's in your way.

He's also looking sadly at a paper cake-case*

I miss you, cupcake...

The ugliness quotient of the bar has been increased by one.

The person to blame for this is currently slouching in a booth. He looks slightly more well-adjusted than in previous appearances- at least, he's not in a paranoid cower now, though he still doesn't look entirely comfortable with being in a room full of people. (Or in a booth not exactly built for 8-ft-tall men.)

But once his usual meal of nuts and water arrives, things seem to look up a bit.

[OOP: ...and mun is now gone for indeterminate period of time for jobness. Slowtime is, as always, welcome, however!]

David walks into the bar. You think he'd have seen it. He goes to the buffet table, fills up a plate, and sits down at a table with a notebook and a pen and is lost deep in concentration, writing.

If anyone should approach him, they'd probably need to poke him to get his attention.
[identity profile] notsoyoung.livejournal.com
David walks downstairs with an air of express quiet. His footing is quiet, his breath is quiet.

He looks almost like he's looking for someone, but sees only Armand and Richard on the couch and Angelo.

He looks at a scrap of paper in his hand and sighs.

And then heads over to Angelo.

Angelo wanders in from the staff quarters with a scrap of paper in his hand, and looks around the room to see who's in.

[OOC: Because the 'mun is clearly a masochist, unfinished threads or no...]


Desire returns to the bar, fading in at the usual booth.
The Endless' mood seems to have vastly improved since the visit last night, and looks contemplatively over to the bar. To drink, or not to drink: That is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the bar to suffer the slings and arrows of smoking indoors, or to take action amidst a sea of patrons -- Oh, forget it.

Desire lights up and smokes quietly.

Gavroche appears through the portrait, and immediately looks around to see if Meg's back yet. He's worried about her and she promised him food and wine.

*walks in from outside, a wreath of leaves and flowers about his head, and a lopsided grin on his face. he meanders behind the bar and leans down to give it a hug in welcome. the bar seems to shine a little more than it had a few minutes ago*

Gooooood evening everyone, and welcome to Friday Night Happy Hour at Milliways!

To celebrate the end of the week, we're having a special on drinks with a kooky name. The stranger the name, the better the drink, and the more of it you get. Food tonight is a spicy fare--I think Gil's trying some thai food in the mix, noodles and veggies or meat of your choice.

Holden is helping us out from now on, so you can ask him for any of your orders as well.

As usual, my special brew is also available to order. Give it a try...if you like. *grins*

Your orders?

*Cordelia enters with a determined stride, heading for the bar. She takes out a sheet of what looks like paper, peels away a strip of transparent backing from along its upper edge, and presses it to the bulletin board, where it sticks.

(A closer examination of the sheet will reveal it to be made of plastic, at least to anyone who would recognize plastic.)

The sheet reads as follows:*


I am planning a set of improvised experiments as part of an ongoing attempt to learn more about the peculiar nature of the space around this bar. Of particular interest to me are the rules governing access to, and departure from, the immediate vicinity.

Anyone who can enter and leave Milliways at will, or under specific conditions, and is interested in taking part, please sign below. Anyone with suggestions or potentially useful information, please speak to me directly.

-Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan


*She seats herself at the bar not far from the board, orders herb tea and a sandwich, and waits.*



[OOC: ETA - This list is no longer up on the bulletin board. Cordelia has taken it down and will be using it for reference. Signing it retroactively is fine.]

*After putting away the items used in the delivery of Snow's twins, Liz washes thoroughly at a large work sink in the back room. Once clean, she wearily trudges back into the main room of the bar, ordering a tea laced with brandy from the bar proper. She takes her cup over to the table where her notebook lay forgotten, and sits down. She rests her face in her hands for a moment, rubbing lightly at her forehead.*

Umm, excuse me! Is there anyone in here that can help quickly heal some bruises? It would be greatly appreciated!
