Sam and Jack have been in their corner of the bar for some time. Long enough, in fact, that it's not so much their corner any more as it is their ... well, measurements in the bar are traditionally more like guidelines than rules, but suffice to say that they've taken over a sizeable section of it. Tables have been pushed together, sofas moved, and

"I would do something Shakespearian next, but I'm out of Red Bull. Encore!"

Jack jumps down off the table in search of more.

[likesthecoat]

Oh, look, here's a hand holding out a can.

[othercaptjack]

"Oh my god, the service here is amazing," Jack says, taking it with a bright and brilliant grin.

"Sam, check this out, good-looking, efficient and damn near psychic."

And by that he means, Sam, look how awesome by boyfriend is!

[likesthecoat]

Ianto rises to give Jack a quick kiss hello.

"I fear and tremble at the thought of you without sufficient caffeine in your system."

Medusa could wander over and laugh at them.

On the other hand, she could stay seated on her own table, hand pressed to her mouth and snakes giggling (well, hissing, really, but she knows that they are giggling) and laugh at them from here.

Yes.

[necessary_child]

Sam happens to turn round and see her. Naturally, as you do on seeing the girlfriend you love and adore, he responds by pulling a face at her.

Oh yes, there's been sugar.

[mycursedface]

There is only one reply to that, really;

She and her snakes stick their tongues out at him.

[othercaptjack]

Jack reaches up behind Sam to give him bunny ears.

Helpfully!

Teja keeps an eye on them, still turning Urquhart's crossbow in his hands.

Is he supposed to arrest the other Captain Jack Harkness (not the one he knows well, just the one he met briefly) if he does more than flap his coat, up there on the table?

[othercaptjack]

Luckily, there's no rule against boisterousness, and Jack doesn't seem inclined to do anything shading into and of the key three.

[necessary_child]

Sam, who does occasionally tend towards hyper-awareness even when he wishes he didn't, gives Teja a look.

It is not precisely a threat, but it does suggest that any attempt to use the crossbow will only be disapproved of.

[ostro_goth]

It's the third rule that Teja is actually thinks about; dancing on tables may lead to lewdness.

And he doesn't plan to use the crossbow; it is not his, and he does not wish to make it so.

Cal is, in a handwavy sort of way, finishing up his shift behind the Bar, One might think, from the way he is wiping things down with great studiousness and concentration, that he is entirely unaware of the goings-on in the corner.

. . . at least, one might think that if one didn't know Cal very well.

[necessary_child]

Sam may know Cal very well, but he's also hopped up on caffeine, alcohol and sugar (in roughly equal parts) and also not paying masses of attention beyond 'oh, it's a Cal!'.

Which is why he calls out, "Hey, Favourite. We have food!"

[isaysimplewords]

Cal glances up, for all the world like he's just seeing them for the first time.

"Hi," he calls back. He leaves the point about the food unaddressed.

[othercaptjack]

Jack waves too, with a cheerful grin of general goodwill fuelled by sugar, caffeine, and unknowable energy-fuelling substances.

"Hey, Cal! Done with your shift?"

[fowl_beast]

So, there is a Pi Day feast (whatever that means) and a bunch of pies in one corner, and a bunch of pizza and raw fish in another. None of the pies are meat pies.

Hrmmph, tough decision.

There is a woman dressed in what looks like some kind of old fashioned hunting gear made of some sort of black reptile hide walking around, picking the meat off the pizzas and feeding it to an unusually large rooster she has tucked under her arm. And the occasional bit of sushi.

She isn't feeding herself anything, though.

SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG HERE
