Multipup Test

[hey35andholding]

Pick your poison:

Pinkie Pie is in the kitchen, and there's a pink pony peeking out talking to her customer. "Did you want cupcakes or cookies?" *

Pam Poovey has stumbled on food heaven and isn't gonna stop eating until they roll her out of here on a stretcher. She might share her bearclaw with you if you're not an ass. Maybe.

Dorothy Zbornak has coffee, the morning paper and hot toast. Rose was singing showtunes on her side of the door. Pity her.

And Bender is...Bender. Which means he's trying to rig the Karaoke machine to spit out money instead of tunes.

(*Anyone who makes a "Cupcakes" joke will be poked with a stick)

"What flavor are the cupcakes or cookies?" Pinkie's customer (a seven foot tall woman in blue and gold armor) replies stoically.

Henry Spencer senses donuts and finds himself migrating toward the smell of cinnamon and applies and sugar.

"Hey... I'm pretty sure I smell a bearclaw in there somewhere..."

A lanky man with two days of stubble, bloodshot eyes, and a bottle of liquor that might be better for cleaning surgical instruments than drinking dangling from his fingers pauses in the doorway and blinks.


Just for good measure, since this bar in the middle of his house hasn't gone away, he blinks some more.

Nope.

"Well, hell." Clearly we've moved to the 'hallucination' part of tonight's entertainment.

[not_his_pa]

William looks up from his book at the curse and sighs, the man could have wandered in from the worse parts of Bisbee,

"You lost, sir?"

[onabirdswing]

There's something familiar about this man; Rue can feel it. She's sure she's seen him somewhere before...


Oh. That's right. Every year, on television, during the Reapings. District 12's only living Victor (well, before Katniss and Peeta came along, anyway). The man that Seeder said was Chaff's friend.



"Mr. Haymitch?"

[real_or_notreal]

That was not a face Peeta expected to see walking out of the kitchen. There's the consideration of walking right back into the kitchen, but he doesn't think there's much kindness in leaving the Bar to whatever he might do, either.

Especially given the bottle and the way he's looking around at it.

His voice was civil, but surprised, and loud enough to carry. "Haymitch. Over here."

[forgottenmotley]

"Not quite."

This is not helping the hallucination. A motley dressed man with glowing amber eyes with a bucket of rubber goldfish, devil duckies and squid.

[peacethroughpower]

Kane turns his head slightly to look at the fellow new arrival. He raises his eyebrow and crosses his arms.

"No, not Hell," he says. "Not Earth, either."

He knew enough of both to at least know that much.

Red won't be going home for a while, yet. When she does, she's going to have to have a very long conversation with her grandmother about... certain information, and she needs to be sure she can get through that without losing her temper. Preferably without losing her composure, too, but... well. That may be a losing battle no matter what.

Besides, if Mary - Snow - is going to survive on her own, she'll need to know a thing or several more than she does right now about how to live off the land. The next people she tries to steal eggs from may not be so forgiving, after all.

Red is expecting to follow a set of rabbit tracks around a tree; she's not expecting the woods to change as she does so, but she smells it before she realises the tracks - and the light dusting of snow they were in - have completely disappeared.

"What in the names of the gods...?"

[clovenpine]

It's late, the night before the Reaping, and this year, just like every year, she can't sleep.

Tonight's a new moon, so her chances of being nabbed for excursions after curfew by an overzealous Peacekeeper are slim to nonexistent. She slowly, quietly makes her way through the forestry apprentices' dormitory, headed for the exit door.

--and opens it to bright lights and a crowd of unfamiliar faces.

"Aw, hell," Johanna Mason mutters, and puts her hands into the air.

[orchidkaboom]

Amanda glances around to be sure nobody actually is threatening the kid, then aims a finger-gun at her.

"Pow," she says.

You know, friendly-like.

[pickledtribute]

Haymitch, who really hasn't gotten the hang of this place, and who is still attempting to get through this hallucination by drinking himself into sleep, blinks at Johanna.

A lot.

And then he's laughing his head off. Oh, this time his brain has it out for him. It must be the anniversary of something or other, and he's just forgotten.

[operates_cobra]

The boy who enters the Bar isn't originally looking where he's going, mostly because of the over-large illustrated book in his arms. Attention completely absorbed, it isn't until he bumps into a chair that he looks up.

After a startled look around him, and then behind him to where the door is very much not the one he was expecting, Henry starts furiously flipping through the book.

Maybe this is in here, somewhere--maybe the spell is breaking?

But he doesn't remember seeing a picture like this one in his book...

[claudiometer]

"--nonononono--"
Wherever it is, it appears to be raining speaker parts; that's the casing of one falling just out of range to hit the book, but Henry might catch the motion.
Either way, he'll probably notice the redhead with a bright yellow streak (this week) in her hair leaning out of the rafters and saying, "Hey, uh - any chance you can toss that back up here?"

[notinthebook]

Cue startled mom buddy fellow operative.

"Kid!"

Emma's eyes are wide and she heads over, strides long and fast, glancing over his shoulder to see if anybody else followed him in.

"What are you doing here?"

[onabirdswing]

"Cool book."


This from the dark-skinned girl sitting at the bar, sipping a chocolate milkshake.

[forgottenmotley]

The Fool peers over the boy's shoulder, his shadow flickering out around the both of them.

"Interesting book."

[the_fairest]

There is, quite suddenly, one startled teacher who had been sipping a lemonade, carrying a book, and walking through the bar looking to get a table. But that changed when she'd caught sight of the small boy at the door.

"Henry?"

[happilyneverafter]

"Henry."

You see, this is exactly the sort of thing Regina has been afraid of. She doesn't even want to think about how much a place like this could undermine his already fragile faith in her.

She glances at the book. "How on earth did you get here?"

[peacethroughpower]

A bald man with a goatee enters the bar, dressed entirely in black. It does not take him long to notice he is not where he intended to be.

His eyes shift from left to right. He knows that this is not Kilian Qatar's chambers. Indeed, he is no longer in Temple Prime at all. If there were a bar in Nod's central headquarters, he would know. No, clearly he has been brought here by some transdimensional portal. He is certain of it.

Most would be slow to believe such a thing. But Kane does not need to be convinced that there exist beings with powers beyond human comprehension. He already knows.

His eyes do not widen. He says nothing. Instead, he makes his way to a stool and sits down with his back to the bar, arms crossed. If some greater force has summoned him here, It will make Itself known to him shortly.

He sits there for a moment. Finally, his mouth turns upward to form the semblance of a smirk.

"Impressive decor. You'd think the service would be better here."

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

"It's voice activated," the grey-haired young woman in the dark green fatigues says mildly. "I'm not sure why they don't put a sign up about it, but it's voice activated and it has a recipe database the size of an encyclopedia."

[wwppd]

"Awww no."

Miles expected his bedroom at school, when he opened the door. The biggest surprise might have been Ganke tidying his side of the room. But this?

This is not an appropriate teenage boarding school bedroom.

In his alarm, his panic response, Miles' camouflage ability kicks in -- he starts to fade into the background. But this time, he catches himself and, with some concentration, he stops. He's normal again. Totally human. Totally not a mutant, not even a little bit.

--oh, crap, he's still in a bar. Why is he in a bar?

[peacethroughpower]

Kane notices the boy fading and reappearing and raises an eyebrow. The Brotherhood had been making use of stealth technology for decades, but it had always required the use of full body stealth suits. This boy appeared to be wearing only street clothes.

"Nice vanishing act," he says. "Mind telling me your secret?"

[wantasugarcube]

Finnick was prepared to die in that moment, he knew there was no way out. That was until a door behind him opened up and he stepped through it. He stopped when he walked into a bar, well who would put it past the Capitol to have a hidden bar? Though he was sure he'd of heard of this secret, or would have been shown off by people in it. He took a few tentative steps in.

He's half expecting this to be a Capitol trick and for peacekeepers to be on him in no time.

[pickledtribute]

"... Well. You haven't shown up in one of these in a while." Haymitch informs (what he assumes to be a hallucinatory) Finnick. He has very clearly been making an honest attempt at drowning his brains in drink tonight, and hasn't quite come to terms with the idea that he isn't hallucinating a bar in his living room.

Considering the quality of the liquor he has, this is actually a fairly viable theory, except in the way that it's wrong.

[notaliar]

August decided to take a walk around Storybrooke and wasn't really paying much attention when he stepped out. When he finally glanced up he had to stop and take pause. When he turned and noticed the door was different he turned back to glance around.

"Well then..."

[the_fairest]

There is one school teacher, standing not too far from him, just starting to drink a hot chocolate as she glances at her watch.

Unexpected Milliways breaks between classes are unexpected, but the breather after covering an extra class for a teacher who went home ill isn't terrible.
