A two week summary from hell
What has Indy been up to? Really... I wish I knew! There has been a lot of activity in Indy world of late, but nothing so monstrous that it demanded an individual summary. But he's going to be sleeping off a heavy few nights for the rest of this week while his mun does some road time, so I made this post at 4 am in the morning.
In his first month at the bar, Indy resolutely avoided plot of any kind. But suddenly everything has changed... and change is good... right? Anywayyyy, here, in chronological order, are summaries of some of the significant action and plottage Indy has been involved in:
Indy and the Wand of the Brownies
Franjean decides Indy looks like the kind of guy that would be able to help the Brownies find a missing wand that should help them save their civilization. Indy offers his services and they plot on how to set about searching for the mystery object. In a conversation with Dionysus a few days later, Indy asks him to go through the Lost and Found box to see if the wand is in there. He finds some interesting things, but no wand.
Indy, Meg Giry and the Cloned Fedora
In a moment of patronizing compassion for Meg, Indy asks the bar to clone his fedora. It complies with a twist. He gives the replica to Meg and she proudly gets good mileage out it. What neither of them realize is that the bar quirkily bestowed the clone hat with Indy's bull whip skills and removed his own ability to wield the same weapon. The only time this has become an issue so far is when Indy had a bit of trouble with his own whip when trying to protect Lara Croft from a rogue asp that hitched a ride into the bar on the Ark of the Covenant. So basically, Meg has mad whip skillz but no whip... Indy has a whip but no skills.
Indy, Nick Knight and the Holy Grail
Indy and Nick converse and Nick offers to help Indy's father in his quest for the Holy Grail. They conclude that it might be difficult to bring Nick and Indy's dad together though. *sigh* If only there was a Henry Jones Senior... *winks in the direction![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Indy, Alanna and the Bicep of Tortal
Indy and Alanna chat and Indy offers whip training again. They end up having an arm wrestling competition. Indy loses, much to the amusement of Kibeth.
Indy, Penny, Raph and the Love Triangle of Doom
On day one, while sampling some of Gil's fine Morroccan cuisine, Indy is approached by newly single Penny Lane. They discuss Penny's current lack of a man and flirt a bit. Indy ends up losing a staring contest.
On day two, Penny is back and there's more flirting. There's a moment! Then Indy spills his drink and gets laughed at. Doh!
On an action packed day three, Indy joins Raph at the lake to watch Lara doing some target practice. He decides to confess his Penny situation to Raph. Raph tries to be civil, but Indy pushes it and Raph swings a punch. Indy catches it but Raph knees him in the groin instead. Indy cries. Later that night he edges his way back into the bar and fills Penny and Meg in on things. There is yet more flirting with Penny, but his sore crotch puts paid to any romantic ideas they might have had.
A few days later, Indy spies Penny and Ares together, but before he can get angsty a pretty lady falls into his lap. Lucky bastard. Later still, Penny and Indy talk and they agree on friendship... for now. Raph approaches Indy with an apology, and they make up. Indy goes on to win a battle of snarkiness which includes references to sloppy seconds, beer droop and Raph's knickers.
Indy, Lara Croft and the Ark of the Covenant
The Ark of the Covenant shows up in the bar. There is much sparklyness. Indy is surprised to say the least. Lara Croft is not. Turns out she has been using it as a coffee table for the past few years. The ark dumps an asp out and Lara splatters it across the bar as Indy fumbles with his whip. Indy is courted by the slutty Ark for the rest of the night. The next day, Indy ensures that the Littlest Loompa™ cleans the coffee rings off the lid of the Ark. Club soda does the trick. Indy and Lara meet up again a few days later and Indy professes that the Ark should indeed belong to her, since she was the person who 'owned' it last. He recounts what he had to go through to recover it. She parries with even more extraordinary stories. Lara gets drunk and there is a little bit of affection from both parties. Lara retires however.
Indy, Marion and Abner's Stuff
Marion returns to the bar and she is amazed to see The Ark. She explains to Indy that her apartment has been broken into and ransacked. They discuss the reason for the break in and Indy wonders if Abner had left behind something more valuable than Marion realizes. There's some angst about Abner's death and she eventually agrees to bring some of the un-auctioned things back to the bar for Indy to look at.
Indy, Meg Giry and the Space Time Continuum Brain Explosion
Indy chats to a somber Meg. She eventually expounds on how Nick Knight has told her that he is going to kill a friend of her's seven years in her future. Indy offers a rudely basic solution. Meg stuns him with her knowledge of relativity. Indy offers a parallel universe theory which is only moderately credible... but she buys into it. Nick enters the conversation and buys everyone drinks. There are fatherhood questions raised which bring images into Meg's head which she doesn't like. The cloned fedora is used to great effect as a thwapping weapon. Meg and Nick plot stuff happens and Indy proceeds to get amusingly drunk. Sadly he gets incoherent before Meg and Nick decide to follow his example.
Indy, Liz Sherman and Jack Daniels
Having met briefly a few times before, Indy and Liz finally have a long chat. They spend an age getting drinks sorted and making a toast. Indy asks Liz why she is unhappy and offers some helpful advice. They talk about Liz's special talent and Liz eventually decides to trust Indy enough to recount a nasty childhood event. Indy retaliates with angst of his own to do with the loss of both his mother and wife. In a bizarre twist of events, Liz then pulls out a Polaroid camera and takes his picture. They discuss how they arrived at the bar. He inquires about her power some more and there's a bit of devastatingly good flirting. The kinkiness of whips is discussed and there is more affection shown between the two of them. Indy talks candidly about his line of work and of his travels. There's some more father angst from Indy, and some from Liz. Liz kisses Indy and he gets bashful. More kissing. The bourbon in him causes him to make an uncharacteristically forward offer... and Liz freaks out, breaks a glass and angsts her way out of the bar. Indy is sad.
Indy, Paul and Fatherhood
Paul whimsically decides Indy is his dad while talking with Meg. He approaches a hungover Indy with this new information. As it turns out, Paul gets more than he bargains for as there seems to be a genuine possibility that Indy really is Paul's dad. Indy accepts the responsibility as any good father of a newly discovered dead lovechild should... and scares Paul off while exacting revenge for the angst he has for his own father. So... yeah... Indiana Jones is officially possibly Paul Morlock's father. Okay? Don't you just feel the love? No? Ok.... but it's fun.

Okay, that's somewhat disturbing. Kudos for the summary, though.
