You pick a fine time to be back in the Bar, Spider Nancy. After a long day of lounging, drinking, and all general godness like that there...the man who would be Anansi's son decided that it was time to get away from it all and have a drink. This may sound utterly redundant, but look who you're talking to. So saying, he stepped over to the Bar, ( Read more... )

What's blue and red and white all over?

That would be Spider-Man swinging into the bar, crashing into a table, and getting tangled up in his own webbing.

"Oboy."

This was supposed to be Broadway.

There's a reasonable explanation for this, but it's not very well forthcoming.

A tall oblong form, completely black, now resides within the bar.

Also, "The Blue Danube" seems to be playing softly in the background, courtesy of the Karaoke Machine of Doom.

In the end, everything works out, more or less. He doesn't have his sanity, no, but a man can get by without that. What's important is that he's got his ship again-- and a beauty she is, all black with black sails that stand out boldly against the blue Caribbean sky.

The front door bursts open and two cats come tumbling arse-over-teakettle into Milliways.

They're clearly not ordinary cats. Most house cats aren't quite that large, for one thing. Neither are they bipedal, nor dressed in clothes that look like they were stolen from the set of O Brother, Where Art Thou?They pick themselves up off the floor and ( Read more... )

He's by the fireplace today on one of those very comfortable armchairs. His feet are crossed up on the coffee table and there's a copy of the Times open over his face. The tool of his trade is resting against the chair back, in easy reach for when he gets up.

It's a very odd position to find a skeleton in, but this is Milliways, after all.

Hex sat at a table in the bar, an energy shake at her elbow.

She looked pensive.

She was thinking about something that was begining to worry her. She could not put her finger on it though.

Her face changed from pensive, to angry.  All  fangs and rage.  Her moods continued to  spiral  out of control. 

Sometimes even kami need breaks from planing and plotting. Which is why there is a ball of white fluff curled up in one of the tables centers. Two sleepy blue eyes can barely be seen peeking out between what looks like four tails that have helped to create the ball-ish shape of the little kitsune ( Read more... )

Spider has, suffice to say, taken a long time to succumb to the bizarre foodstuffs, largely because he was the son of a god.  But eventually, without knowing it, he became...a street urchin!  Without knowing it.

"Ooohh...  Don't think I've ever felt a headache like that."

Pause.

"I said, I don't think I've ever..."

Another pause.

"...felt a..."

His voice ( Read more... )

Hex sat outside of the Bar looking at the night sky, she was amazed at how beautiful it all was. She wondered if back home people would stop fearing her, should she even care ( Read more... )
