Psst. Hey. See that guy in the booth over there ( Read more... )

There is a certain amount of craziness that comes along with the tech week of a show, not to mention opening night.

There are also a breed of people who are, overall, less affected by this than others.

Most of the time, Niki Harris is one of these people. But this show's opening night is different, for which there are several reasons.

1) It's not ( Read more... )

"--gut you like a fish and feed you to the cats," Gaia is saying as she steps through the door, wiping her hands off on what there is of her leather skirt with her usual post-customer-bouncing swagger ( Read more... )

It's been a little over two weeks since her birthday - quite possibly the best birthday she's ever seen, if you ask Sarah Jane. A small, quiet affair with her husband and their daughter. Perhaps the only thing missing would be a certain best friend (it's easier not to think of that, though ( Read more... )

Byers' visit to Milliways is very quick, today. He's only stopped in to drop something off with Bar, and looks to be in quite the hurry as he does so.

It's been almost four months since he met Niki, and part of him feels like he should acknowledge that in some small way, so he drops off a small, multicolored bouquet at Bar, with an attached note ( Read more... )

While it may be spring back home in London, spring in London doesn't compare to spring in Milliways in any sort of way. Milliways has mountains and clean crystal blue lakes and stables with horses for Valerie to ogle. London? May have a duck population at Hyde Park that has come to fear the four month old, but aside from that ( Read more... )

[ooc: I am totally not recycling an EP. Totally.]

When Byers walks limps into Milliways today, he doesn't look as happy to see the place as he usually does.

This probably has something to do with the fact that he looks like he was recently tossed down a small flight of stairs.

(For the record, it was not a small flight of stairs. It was a very weak ( Read more... )

Alfredo doesn't freak out, this time. This time, he just winds his way over to the bar, sits down on a barstool, and asks quietly for a cup of coffee. The requested drink pops up in a white porcelain mug, along with a couple of small containers of creamer. He uses both, setting them carefully on the napkin by his elbow.

He looks tired. Dressed as ( Read more... )

The figure that slinks into Milliways today is carrying a box of tissues and --

"Achoo!"

-- sniffling.

His eyes are bloodshot and teary and he flops into a booth, flat onto his back, and groans. Has his head exploded yet? It feels like it has.

Spring is in the air, and Byers' allergy medication is nowhere to be found.

"ACHOO!"

Maybe they'll calm down, ( Read more... )

Getting taller by, oh, about two inches is the sort of thing you generally notice.

This case is no exception.

Niki doesn't scream, but the look on her face has the same effect.

".... Oh. Right."

Her timeline's not the same as Bar's, so it takes her a moment to figure out exactly why she is no longer... her.

She hasn't moved from the spot for about a ( Read more... )
