Sallie's wearing something appropriately dressy, for still being in her apartment and all.

Food! Qin music, most likely. She's like that.

Sallie, if nothing else that she's learned in her professional or personal life, knows how to take advantage of opportunities within her grasp.

Namely, knowing the next time John is on a Happy Hour shift.

Since she's still not supposed to be lifting all that much, Sallie takes a barstool and waits for the tender to do his job.

Politely.

[ooc: From here.]

John's still got some time on his shift, so Sallie busies herself with her tea and wondering what the hell has gotten into her that she suddenly wants company.

She settles on a book to pass the time.

Sallie left a note for Inara to invite herself and Malcolm over for dinner the next day. Inara, in her usual grace about things, noted that Mal has developed a new affinity for something called Southern Comfort, and perhaps she might bring a bottle to make the evening a bit more affable ( Read more... )

Sallie is stuck.

Rutting stuck in a gorram arm cast for four to six gorram weeksAnd she has to go back to Milliways. Home was easy enough, though the gentler way her employees treated her pissed her off to no end. Skouris' expression her first day home never changed, and when Sallie thanks him for it she calls him Peter ( Read more... )

Mike gets a late-night visit (if one can tell time at the end of the universe) that Sallie expects to be away from the bar for the following three days Shadow-time to take care of some business for the ranch. Mike says he'll keep the light on or some such nonsense - he's got enough going on at the moment that he's not likely to need to leave the ( Read more... )

Esme Cullen, for being a vampire, manages to make four walls and a ceiling seem like someplace warm to be. There are throw rugs obscuring most of the wood flooring, and a kitchen fit to feed a small army from ( Read more... )

Sallie doesn't need a huge room to herself in Milliways. Mike's suite is a suite because he lives with Mel and it is his permanent residence; Sallie's permanent home is on Shadow.

But there will be nights spent in Milliways, and there's no way Sallie is crashing on a couch. (Or Mike's enormous bean bag chair. Duibuqi, Mike ( Read more... )

Mike and Tom have both assured Sallie that the spell to add her (Sallie refuses 'turn her' as an acceptable phrase) as co-Barman is painless and simple both, though they both seem to insist on her sitting down before Tom starts in on something that sounds like a pile of vagueness and Latin.

And then it's all Can I get a and Est-ce que je pourrais ( Read more... )

Even though Sallie was the first to walk back from the lakeside to the bar after her conversation with Mike, she knows to take a step back and let Mike start the...conversation? discussion? declarations? fireballs?

This is going to be different.
