Liz? I *really* need to go to bed soon. Any chance we could either speed things up or leave it where it is and come back to it later, performing continuum trickery? *grins*

I had an idea merging the "escaping Bartleby" and the nightmares, and wanted to touch base before running off the deep end.

Just out of curiosity, and not very significant, given the "timezones, schmimezones" approach to Milliways, but...

What timezones *are we all in? I ask because while I'm in North America (Canada, Mountain time, to be precise), I work nights, so by the time I make it here, the party's either wrapped up or hasn't even started, and I was wondering if there is anyone around during the night (mountain time, GMT -0600 in daylight savings time and -0700 in standard time)?

As I am approaching my days off, and foresee beeing quite bored, I am taking requests for icons. If you would like an icon for you character (or two, or three), drop me a line in the comments. Please let me know if you want a specific picture/style/text/etc. in your icon. If you want as specific picture, please provide me with a link to said picture.

It is early. I am punch-drunk and exhausted. Therefore it must be time for another episode of.... SUMMARYVILLE!

Because of all the thread-jumping, this is going to be a bit of a narrative from Hob's point of view, for which I apologize because obviously Hob is not the center of the universe, but it was a terribly complicated night and I had to follow it as I could. Feel free to add.

First: Hob stands in the doorway, being misanthropic and not going to the party. Dream totally holds His Imperial Majesty Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon hostage till Hob will come down. Hob bitches about how no one will call the cat by its name. There is discussion of Anthy's nightmares, and Hob says he's worried by Morpheus, who gets miffed and leaves.

Hob and Regulus get drunk and it is made abundantly clear that Hob-mun cannot type. Hob mentions he's worried about Dream, and they get progressively drunker. Hob invents an alcohol language, which Reg sneakily avoids by mixing drinks. Meanwhile, Mat comes over and he and Hob talk until Hob-mun stops getting notifications and starts feeling horribly guilty for inadvertently ignoring him.

Anthy CRUELLY and WITHOUT PROVOCATION steals Neb and is found out by Hob. She used to have a cat named something real weird *g*. When Hob won't let her pet the cat, she turns into a cat herself.

A very, very drunken Hob goes over and bothers Dream. Dream is patient with his ramblings until he makes the very unwise comment that he wishes Dream hadn't returned so he could have kept certain illusions. Dream vanishes. Hob is remorseful.

Sort of following from the Regulus thread, Hob goes to the bar in search of more tequila . He and Anathema snark about his drunkenness, which is considerable. Paul is hateful at him. Hob says he doesn't hate Paul. Paul says he placed an order with the bar but doesn't expect it to get filled. Eventually he tells Hob that what he wants is peace. They have a heated talk about whether or not anyone ever gets what they want, which causes Hob-mun to sing Stones songs inside her head. A discussion of what Hob wants quickly becomes a meditation on their shared loneliness. Hob says he'd been planning to return to Regulus at the lake, and Paul says he's not stopping him. Hob says he won't leave Paul alone, and when asked why, explains that it's not about why; just about what he's going to do.

Hob goes back to the lake to retrieve Nebuchadnezzar and see Regulus to bed. Reg is very drunk. Hob helps him up to the bar and tucks him into his (Hob's) bed. There is cuteness. So much pointless cuteness.

All that settled, Hob returns to Paul in the bar, and eventually falls asleep in the corner, though not (presumably) alone. MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER PEOPLE THANK YOU! This is about loneliness, not your unsatisfied sexual kinks. XD.

and for the TRULY COMMITTED...
a very special behind-the-scenes look at the minds of hob-mun and anthy-mun )

All right, folks, I may or may not be around from now until Sunday afternoon/evening. My family will be arriving in town this afternoon, and staying through the weekend. I know that I'll have to keep to a fairly diurnal schedule, so my Milliways time will be at least drastically reduced. Depending on what our plans turn out to be, I may not be able to log on at all. Although I hope it won't come to that. Here's where matters stand with my characters.

Liz is gone. She's returned to her normal time, and will be there until Sunday.

The Milliways Cow and Mat will be hovering around, but may or may not be active. If they don't actually play in the threads, just consider them as being present and doing their thing without interacting with other patrons.

If I'm able to pop on, I'll be RPing with the Cow and Mat, obviously. I'll pull Lizzie back in after my family leaves.

If I'm not able to pop on, have insane amounts of fun, and run up a staggering backlog of Threadzillas for me to read. :)

ETA: Summaries of Last Night's Activities for Liz, Mat, and Teh Cow, under a cut for length )

Query --

So Sirius has about seven or eight hundred posts on his Lake Party and Nekkid Swimmin' posts (I'm so glad it went over well!) and I was wondering if people want me to narrate through the whole threadzilla thing, or if you were planning on doing it personally for your own characters? I don't mind doing it but I haven't time this morning so it would have to wait until late this afternoon or tomorrow.

Cast your bread upon the water votes now. :)

Hey Constantine, I didn't get to throw you in the lake! Loved your thread with Death though. Swimming party at some point?

How many males *are* playing at Milliways? I'm counting four, currently - Sirius, Dionysus, Destruction, and Rupert. Am I missing anyone?

I am horribly curious. (In the event of an alien invasion, how prepared would this planet's defenses be?) Tell meee!!

I googled "pre-raphaelite angels" in search of icons for Aziraphael (and if anyone has any ideas of pictures I could use they'd be appreciated), and was... quite amused by what turned up.

I am about to depart for vacation in a couple of hours, but since it's family type visiting - and they all know I'm insane - I'll probably be dropping in sporadically. I'll be back on the 30th.

In the meantime, Tom is going to go off exploring London Below with the Marquis - a fellow he'll probably get on quite well with eventually - since it's his home now, and he wants to help Door.

I'll be posting little snippets, and [livejournal.com profile] iopenthings will, too. And hopefully I'll have enough time to come round for a drink. And to talk to more people - Door and Tom have been rather exclusive. Oh, for young, schmoopy love...

Oh, and Tom requests that no one hurt Door and/or make her cry, even though she's more likely to keel someone than he is at this point. He would just feel really guilty about not being around ;)

Wah, I miss you guys already!

Well, it seems the bar is having a run on breakfast trays this morning. Heh.
[identity profile] copperbadge.livejournal.com
HAHAHAHA MILLIWAYS I OWNZOR YOU.

*ahem*

All right, I'm only going to cover threads where major interaction occurred, not, you know, every single time people talk to each other. Sirius invites everyone out to the lake, where several people have already been helping Gil set up. (Assume you guys have bar credit coming.) People arrive. Yes they do.

Death drags Dream out to the party where Sirius promptly mentions dying, which does not go over well with the deceased Dream. He goes back to brooding and Death tries to take him out of himself while he plays with Hob's Kitten, which as not as explicitly sexual as it sounds (Hob, I can't find that thread). John shows up to sweep Death off her feet to where...

...Regulus is barbecuing. John would like Rare Meat and to flirt with Death. This is remarkably cute. Tonks would like meat, and asks him for a vault key, which is intriguingly cryptic. Cordelia Vorkosigan would also like meat, and talks to Will for a while. They wander off to talk to Charlie and Tonks in a thread that's not on my post so I don't have to summarise it, Nyah. Jack also would like some meat.

Regulus is very popular. Regulus has meat.

Gil like picnics. Kassandra comes to talk to him and gives him a pan flute while Mogget stalks Gil's beloved rat. Crowley and Tonks talk about Charlie and then talk about Charlie again. After which Door shows up with Tom and they flirt disgustingly while thanking the Ethereals for their help during Tom's attack. Tom and Aziraphael discuss Tom's Rehabilitation. Tonks and Anathema are hitting it off. They discuss Sirius and Regulus and what a great afterlife Milliways is, really.

Meanwhile, Kassandra and Tonks discuss Sirius' fear of commitment or lack thereof and in the same thread Kassandra meets Rodya and plays Guess The Country of Origin. :D Kassandra has a little too much Atlantean and a self-esteem crisis which Crowley fixes and gets a kiss for. Rodya and Crowley talk theology.

Elizabeth has arrived and needs to talk to Bartleby. Sirius reluctantly gives her the key, and she goes to see Bartleby. She chews him out for being, basically, a gutless wonder.

Not to be outdone by Tom and Door, Kassandra and Sirius flirt disgustingly and Sirius announces his plan to get her drunk and make her swim naked, thus prompting him to begin howling and start the skinny dipping. Before the skinnydipping, however, Bernard approaches and he, Sirius, and Kassandra talk about um, stuff. Mongooses and jailbreaks, mostly.

Lord Peter Wimsey, overdressed, meets Sirius and Gil, who reminds him of his servant. He reacquaints himself with Lord Golden and is tactless to Kassandra.

Angelina Johnson shows up and meets Akane, who is about to be thrown into the lake by Raphael. After a little *cough*wandplay*cough* they discuss Hogwarts and sewers until Barbie shows up and Raphael goes a little apeshit about being told he is in fact a children's toy. I would too. Meanwhile, Angelina and Akane discuss Defensive Technique.

Moiraine and Anthy, bonding over the squid, discuss the nature of evil while Lord Golden explains the nature of Milliways to Kronk.

Ophelia (who loves the clothes Tonks got her) and Drusilla are getting friendly and run off to Swim With The French which is another thread I don't have to summarise cos it's not in my post, double nyah.

Hob has social anxiety disorder.

Sam has to run to get his train, and will do PAGE TWO! DUN DUN DUNNN! this evening.
[identity profile] copperbadge.livejournal.com
Sam Ownzors Milliways, Page Two:

Mogget steals a steak from the pile and Anthy, transformed into a cat, tries to make him share, but no dice. Having finished one steak, Mogget tries to get Mat's, whereupon Mat and Mogget discuss Magic, the End of the World, and Pussy.

Door and Tom flirt disgustingly some more.

Dinner and Barbie discuss masochistic grass and Sam is a little weirded out that he roleplays in a game where a talking doll and a bovine can discuss humanitarianism. Chuchu and Dinner, however, have a falling out when Dinner reveals a secret desire to surf (and does so, later, in the Skinnydipping thread).

Do y'all want me to do the skinnydipping thread too?

Whee summaries!

The day starts out with Fleur helping out with the party packing. Really she's just making an attempt on that polite horny fellow. Rodya gets jealous and we find Fleur is a bit of matchmaker deep down. She also talks about the idea and nature of love in her veela "you can't tell if I'm talking about physical or emotional love, nyahnyah!" kinda way.

She also has a bit of a confusing run in with Raph that goes on to show she is rather ditzy.

Fleur wanders about the lake, witnesses Ophelia with Dru and in her wandering off to give them privacy discovers Barbie. Unfortunately, they only quickly grow bored with each other and go their separate ways.

Fleur is convinced to go join the skinny dipping thread of doom, and it quickly advances into a not-quiet-but-pretty-close-to-it smut thread with Bernard. After a chance meeting with Ophelia. They zap away back to the bar to have lots of dirty sex.

I think's that it for Fleur. She had a long and productive day! Thanks for those that played with him! *wink*

A question of curiosity: Who all do we have *working in the bar - as in waiting tables, etc.? Do we have the prerequisite "buxom serving wenches with absolutely no morals," to quote someone I'm in chat with? :D

All right, I can make the plot work while keeping Snow fairly canonical, but I need a bit of help. Could someone, in a non-hostile manner(if you can handle it otherwise, inform me of how to appropriately tick you off) prevent me from leaving the Milliways area? Preferably without involving death or Death. I dunno, the closet gets damaged during renovations or something.

Edit: eep. Wrong community. sorry about the screwup before.

Just so people know, I'm only going to be summarising the threads Crowley was actually involved in. Other threads that occurred in the comments of my posts will get a quick link, but I'll leave the summarising to those that were involved.

There was some preliminary interaction with Aziraphale, Tonks, Door, Tom, Rodya and Kassandra in the original lake party thread, but since Sam has already linked to that, I'mma skip it here.

Feeling a little claustrophobic, Crowley leads the group a short way away, and they find a nice place to sit. Tom and Door go flying, as do Aziraphale and Crowley. They fly very high indeed, and discover that if you go high enough, you can see the end of the universe. Having had enough of awe-inspiring sights, Crowley then decides to give Aziraphale (and everyone in the lake) a heart attack. Aziraphale is a very good student, and learns quickly.

Meanwhile, Tonks and Charlie are schmoopy, Door and Tom cause mischief, and Will, Cordelia, Tonks and Mogget discuss Will's being an Old One. Crowley lands, Cordelia boggles, and Crowley takes Tonks for a ride. He tries for another heart attack, but Tonks loves it, even though there is a slight miscalculation, resulting in a very wet witch and demon.

Crowley heads over to the cooking-fire to dry off, and is shortly joined by Tonks, Charlie, and Aziraphale. Crowley and Tonks discuss the possibility of flying races, and the relative speed of brooms and wings. She falls asleep on Charlie, and Door and Tom arrive back from a rather explicitly sexual thread to say goodnight.

Aziraphale and Crowley discuss the Joys Of Flying and quote poetry (there's Yeats!). They debate Crowley's wiliness, and then (surprise, surprise), Heuston, we have wingsmut! Eventually, it is decided that, despite the comfortableness of their current position, they should be getting back. They bicker about whose duty it is to make the first move, finally reaching an impasse, and falling asleep by the lake.

Is anybody currently behind the bar, or is it just HAL and the servete spell? Dizzy needs to make some money, and the bartender would logically be the best person to ask about that... Unless of course there are any card games or something going on right now?

Hi, all. Tonks here.

A Certain Plot in the making is going to require an additional character, namely, the angsty and broody and wonderful Harry Potter.

He'll probably only be at the bar a short time, maybe even just one night, but if you think you've got a good feel for him and would like to take him on, please let me know.

1. Think of a word you would use to describe Dream (Morpheus, whatever. Him. Tall, pale, bad attitude, tried to kill his sibling tonight.)
2. Go to Google Image Search and search for that word.
3. Select the picture you see as most fitting, and post it as a reply. Explanations are mandatory.
4. Post this meme as your character.

And...I shall respond/look at things/whatever when I'm back. The rest of tonight is lurk/pack.
