Rare tidbit about the bar? It's sometimes very easy for someone to get lost up in the room, or out back. Even before the Labyrinth existed in the back or when the woods connected to the Dreaming. Johnny stepped down the stairs slowly, taking in the sight. Amazing how some of it could change over the years, and yet there is still goldfish swimming ( Read more... )

A little girl walks into a bar and looks around.

Uh-oh. She shouldn't be here, shouldn't she, no matter how she got here.

She walks out again.

And finds herself inside again.

"I'm dreaming, right?" Bridgette says, to nobody in particular.

Today was already long and it wasn't even dark yet. The morning was full of sword practice and sitting beside Ellimere during Petty Court and he still had those stupid rehearsals to do later ( Read more... )

His visions haven't offered many clues, just some of the faces who had been out back. Like that one, Atton. Johnny left a note to Security detailing what he picked up from him. Much of the information seemed to allude him ( Read more... )

Atton has snacks. Delicious snacks.

OOM: Upstairs, and Johnny has a revelation.
Includes canon dialogue from S3 episode, ShadowsThere was a troubled psychic in the bar today. No books, no paradoxes this time. He did ask the bar for something. A magazine, looked like a news journal in the vein of Newsweek or Time. It wasn't exactly from his world, but still, there was his face on the ( Read more... )

Vert has been watching from the shadows, taking in the daily rhythms of the bar.  So when Bar's daily naptime rolls around, she offers to take over bartending for the shift.  Bar is sceptical at first, but Vert points out that she's spent enough time in bars over the decades to be familiar with just about every form and combination of refreshing ( Read more... )

Johnny found a stack of books in the library. Mostly hard science fiction like Ben Bova and Asimov. He was currently looking at Mars and enjoying a burger and beer with fried paradoxes at a table. It was a big basket of paradoxes, and he doesn't mind sharing.

Sometimes he'd settle back in his chair to watch the goings on around the bar.
