Hhhhhokay, so. Here's the Earth Eddie Dean's little black book of invented Milliways cocktails.

I have linked this before. I am linking this again. Why? Because when people mention, even in passing, anything I have created, it gives me a little ego-glow, and I want to encourage that. Frankly, I'm a pretty pathetic human being, but there you have it.

Oh right. Also because we have a lot of new and volunteer 'tenders these days, and they may not know that this resource is behind the bar with all the other books of cocktail recipes your character may be drawing on. It probably has witty and obscene commentary by Eddie Dean on how he invented the drinks and the people he invented them for, too.

Also, so that this post is not for nothing, what do you want to remind people about in the bar? Not that anyone has to acknowledge anything--consensual geography, best thing ever--but what has your character built or established or left behind that new people may not know about and even oldbies may have missed? Post it here so people can feel free to notice it later.

In addition to the Little Black Book, after the Dean left, Bernard hung a little circle of glass from their door over the bar; it's a scale-model of the rose window at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and when the light comes in right from the lake it should be pretty gorgeous.

I know there are lots more! Who can remember what the shrine to Sirius and Kassandra looks like? Trilobites? Hmm?

Mr. Julia Fruitnugget and Sunshine Dust are the giant squids in the lake. Is Puck's little squidlet out there now, too? What a happy family! Ingress rescued Mr. Julia from his kidnappers, because hey, I like squids.

Actually, those squids need to have babies. Ingress has waited almost as long for them to have babies as she has Tom and Door, and Tom and Door ain't stepping up yet.

Aside from the squids, I don't think I have left originated anything outside. Maybe one day!

The House of Art painting is the infamous one of dogs playing poker. It's in a fine gilt frame. The dogs are now enchanted a la Harry Potter paintings, and the St. Bernard leers. A lot. They all cheat ridiculously. The Alsatian (German Shepherd) is the leader. They will bark or growl at dire goings on. No one can go through it unless they're charmed to the painting, but when they are, they place a hand on the painting and step through. It doesn't swing open or anything.

Sunshine Dust came about through a very cracky thread with Meg and Svava. Said squid mutated from a goldfish that they got from the bar (before you couldn't get living things from it! We didn't know any better), who got ran out to the lake when they realized the thing was growing and sprouting tentacles.

Sunshine Dust enjoys booze, tea and chocolate, I seem to recall? *could be wrong*
