(no subject)

You know it's funny how every time someone new shows up whose fandom I recognise, I joyously announce to whomever I am chatting with (possibly to their great annoyance), "Oh, we have a _____ now! Yay!"

It's like collecting fandom baseball cards or something. Where's my stick of swedenborgian chewing gum?

On another note, for the new folks, some basic info:

Sirius is the barman/management; Bartleby in essence reports to Sirius (Bartleby, does Sirius get to chew you out? Can we play that? Cos I really wanna play that :D) as does anyone else who works in the building -- Gil the chef, Agnes/Perdita the musician, etc. The bar has a spell on it to give you what you'd like to drink/eat and if you're nice to it, a book or possibly an adoptable crack rat. Gil is training his to work the fryer. :D If you're not nice to the bar, it has been known to throw drinks or simply not serve you at all.

Sirius himself genuinely enjoys serving drinks, except to a select few, so he's eager to please. As demonstrated in a thread a while ago, he is not above providing substances which may be illegal in your local area, though he's not obliged to serve those.

There are rooms to let upstairs for short-term stay, staff housing in the back, and also a lake, but as per normal rules in any bar, since you have to pass through the kitchen to get there, it's polite to ask first.

Most nights somewhere between six and eight Eastern American time, Sirius will make a happy hour post which people are welcome to use as a jumping-off point, or not, as the fancy takes them.

Sirius is essentially the ultimate authority in the bar within the realm of being a mortal. He can't stop angels/demons/ethereals from fighting or doing basically whatever they want to do, but he can cut off their drinks and I suppose if push came to shove, he could tell The Landlord *spooky music* which he does sometimes threaten to do. Ditto mortals who may be stronger/faster/better-armed than he is.

Sorry to spam *grins*

Storytime with Bartleby

Once upon a time, there were these pigs, right? And they were so messed up. Houses out of straw? What the hell. So here come this bad ass wolf, and he huffed and he puffed and he FUCKED THEIR SHIT UP.

He freaked out because: he's very scared (sexuality thing, plus wrath of God hanging over his head, and the complete ineffability of everything); he's a very angry litte man (sexuality thing, people keep bloody poking at him); he's a bit of a loose cannon anyway, and not the most rational being, and finally, because too many people are trying to accept him, and canonically, the last person who did that was mutilated and killed by him.

*looks proud* I have motives.

Let Door set his punishment. Not Tom Riddle, just Lady Door.

I bet she can come with quite an appropriate punishment for Bartleby. Ingress could probably come up with a very five-year-old punishment, too.

I doubt if The Landlord wants Bartleby sacked. People come to Milliways--and stay there--for a reason. Bartleby is still fucking up, so he still needs to be there.

I protest! I need to do plotting and stuff, before my fate is decided.

I don't know how it's suddenly got onto punishment. *looks put out* :p

Bastard. Paring down my beautiful motives to something so crude. I'll have you know I used a notbook, and worked it all out. *looks crushed by your uncaringness*

Well, I'm going to go sit in a tent in a field for the next ttwo days, if that's what you mean. :D

Yeah, but atonement will be self-set. *nods firmly* *grins*

*even less on camping but is part of a completely insane family* *we're talking less rational than Bartleby*
