At typical Happy Hour time, Urania is sitting at the bar with a laptop in front of her, working out an advanced formula to improve the range of a space telescope. It isn't until Mercury, bobbing at her elbow, nudges her that she realizes that no one is getting behind the bar to serve people

Comments

Ianto leans his elbow on the bar and studies the list. "What's in an astral gateway? Champagne?"

[song_of_stars]

"Vodka, Blue Curacao, lemon juice, and ginger ale. Though I suppose I could add champagne... Or make you some other champagne cocktail? An Ambrosia? A Goodnight Kiss? A Deep Blue is Blue Curacao, Vodka, and Cherry...

[likesthecoat]

Ianto laughs. "The champagne's not necessary. An astral gate sounds just fine."

he leans his elbow on the bar. "I'm Ianto."

[song_of_stars]

She smiles and mixes the drink, sets it in front of him, and then offers a slender hand.

"Urania. Lovely to meet you, Ianto... Welsh?"

Tommy saddles up a seat at the bar, bareback (which is to say: without a literal saddle or anything. He's still wearing pants. He's gotten that speech.) He acknowledges the drink specials with a, "Heh".

Ah, kitsch. You can't escape it.

He cocks his head to the side at the goings on behind the bar, though.

"Excuse me," he asks. "You have planets?"

Actually, that's more of an observation.

[song_of_stars]

"I do. Do you need to see a particular one?"

She smiles and Mercury bobs at her shoulder in greeting.

[anold_soul]

Tommy waves at it.

"Uh, no. That's okay. Just a drink."

He needs to see a drink. And then not see it anymore, because he has imbibed it.

[song_of_stars]

"What would you like? One of the specials or something else?"

[dazzling_future]

Bella notices the calculations before she notices the list of drinks. Ah well, she thinks, might as well have something.

"One, erm, Sunrise, if you please."

[song_of_stars]

She mixes and serves and offers a glowing smile.

"There you are. Enjoy."

[dazzling_future]

"What are the calculations for?"

[song_of_stars]

Okay, a little blinking, because that was unexpected.

"I'm... trying to expand the range of an astronomical telescope"

[tragic_mask]

Melpomene slides onto a bar stool, rapping her knuckles on the bar.

"Barkeep, barkeep, I'd like a Moonlight, and my fortune."

[song_of_stars]

Rai raises an eyebrow and gives her a sweet smile.

"And I'd like you to treat your youngest sister with some kind of respect. Shall we trade?"

[tragic_mask]

"Oh, come on. When did you get so uptight?"

She smiles sweetly in return.

Ah, the parry and thrust of siblinghood.

[song_of_stars]

"About the same time you came to be a bitch. Well, a little later. I am younger."

Pretty as starlight, or the moonlight over the hills. Though she always was as he recalled. Even if he preferred his woods more.

"How about one of each to start?"

[song_of_stars]

"Cousin!" She grins delightedly and flings herself over the bar to hug him.

[thatinyourpipe]

Pan gave a loud bleating laugh, and easily caught her up in a hug.

"Been too long, how are you?"

[song_of_stars]

"I'm good, really good! How are you? Everything okay in the woods?"
