Oh, and because I'm dorkoriffic, behind the cut find a sad .bmp map of Milliways and environs (imagine there's a lake where that green field is).

...ye who enter here...



And if you think this is bad, if I still had access to the CAD lab I would make a three-dimensional flythrough. *sighs* oh to be a normal human being...

*spits out tea* Oh my God, Sam, I love you. *cracks up*

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

It's such a sad little drawing.

[goodnightjulia.livejournal.com]

You sound so depressed. *snickers*

[clumsy_auror]

No, no *shakes head* See, now when Tonks is drunkenly trying to leave for skinnydipping, she won't get lost! Problem pre-emptively solved. *grins*

[sweet-beatrice.livejournal.com]

You rock to the nth degree of rocking! If only I had bought CAD...

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

This is very useful...thank you, Sam.

[iopenthings]

CAD!! Oh, CAD, how I love thee.

No, wait, actually I kinda loathe CAD. But, you know, whatever. It's still lovely.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

I actually have never used AutoCad, but I love Strata-- so convenient! SO PRITTEH!

[iopenthings]

Well, I have a very deep and passionate love for Peak and Deck, so... to each theater geek his own particular program.

[muddypetticoats.livejournal.com]

Brilliant. This is actually very helpful, because I hadn't pictured the bar quite that way.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not like my version is the Final Word, I mean. The bar probably shifts itself around from time to time. :)

[muddypetticoats.livejournal.com]

Well yeah, but y'know. Other than the idea that the front door and the door to the guest quarters were at opposite ends of the joint, and the kitchen was somewhere behind the bar, I didn't really have a firm image of what the place was like. My resulting continuity sucked little fuzzy grey donkey balls. I at least have a solid picture in my head now. :)

Either way, thank you, Sam! As a recent new player, I had no clue where anything was and had to settle for *walks down stairs* and *walks to bar*. I now have so many more destinations! *giggle*

[leplusbeau]

This is very good. I now know where the toilets are.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

LOL! :D

[darthrami.livejournal.com]

Um... got a bit of time on your hands, there, Sam?

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Well, actually it was all laid out in my head -- when I write or roleplay I tend to construct the world in my mind so that I know where I'm going when my character needs to, say, wash his hands or something.

Really it only took about ten minutes to get it onto paper. Usually there's some kind of knotty point -- Sandust Bookshop, for example, could not physically exist the way I imagined it -- but with Milliways it came together nicely.

[missginnytonic.livejournal.com]

that's Great. you did really good

[anthy-rosebride.livejournal.com]

... Someone else who makes imaginary maps in Paintshop! I'm not alone!

By the way, there is a greenhouse in between the staff rooms and the bar proper. Connecting them. In my head, anyway.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Well, I would build a 3-D model if I still had strata, but I'm reduced to paintshop :D

A greenhouse, eh? Perhaps in that empty space between the back of the bar where the toilets are? Cos that lot has to be there -- that's Sirius' smoking spot. I can add the greenhouse, though, no problem. I'll do it when I add the lake.

OK, this is right up there with the map of the Morgendorffer household floating around Daria fandom somewhere.
(The top floor is a TARDIS! ::snerk::)

[gil-whimple.livejournal.com]

Oh yippeee! there's a freezer - that means we can experiment with ice cream flavours!

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Indeed! I think you can assume the kitchen comes fully stocked with just about everything, I was just way too lazy to draw in the grill and fryer and such *grins*

I just realised the kitchen is the same size as the staff housing...*facepalm* Drawing Not To Scale. :D

[spiderine.livejournal.com]

There is a loo! Thank gods! With all the Guinness John drinks, I was wondering how he was going to manage! LOL

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

LOL, yes, I forgot to put the back room but I didn't forget to put the loo :D

(John's bar seat, btw, at least in my head, is right next to the stairs in the upper portion of the map -- two seats down from Raphael, where he has a little nook he can keep his back to the wall in and watch everyone who comes into the bar. If you'd rather not that's fine, just thought I'd share the People In My Head :D)
