Hey, folks, I reordered the Situation Notes so the characters are there in order of their seat. So people who are sitting next to each other are put next to each other in the list. The way I imagine it, from John's perspective behind the bar, it goes left to right with Cledwyn at the leftmost and Levi and his buddies at rightmost, but if the positioning isn't important you can imagine it however you like, I suppose.
@Night_ Star: Either I'm missing something or.. err, who's Ga'Ria?
@SilverRain: So uhh, is she "the avatar of those who have missed her stop" or "a younger you"? I'm just a bit confused. It's fine to me either way, though. You can put it in the Characters tab whenever you like.

The new girl was enthusiastic, if anything, and John was rather relieved to know she was chatting with one of his shyest customer. "Anything at all?" John replied to her request cheerily. "All right, Miss, just wait there."
He kept an eye on the Restaurant while waiting for his cooks to make their dish. There are ways to get the food much faster. But he'd realised that people came to the Restaurant for conversations, not just the meal, and conversations is one of the few things in the world that can take advantage of waiting. The girl seemed like she was going to start a rather pleasant one with the fabric dwarf.
That would, however, leave the robot-ghost rather lonely, and he hadn't even finished his drink. He's a shy one. John wondered if he was going to be okay here. No, screw it, John was going to walk up to him and ask him if he's okay.
"Hey," he said to the half-ghost. "Are you doing fine, there?"

( Hello! Thanks for taking an interest! Please read the first OOC post in its entirety before posting. Thank you )
@Man Jack Frost Hey, welcome to the guild!
@SilverRain @Infamous Empath Aight. Thanks for the clarification, you two. I'll edit my post so New!Yylya is included. Yylya never had a character sheet, so, yes, I'd really like it if you make one for this new version of her.
Whoops. I'll edit that part.
Also don't worry about the powerplay fights comments. I was being mildly sarcastic. ^^

She hasn't moved from her seat since she came into the Restaurant. ^.^"

Sandra was asking for a refill on her cup of coffee. Wait, Sandra? She didn't look like a Sandra anymore; she didn't look like on before, but now even more so with that indifferent look on her eyes. John decided not to bother too much with the details and just poured her another coffee. "Here you go, Ma'am."
The diminutive dwarf covered in piles of fabric was asking for Octornapie. Octornapie. Octornapie. He pulled out his Guide from under the bar: a thin sheet of plastic with the knowledge of the worlds in it (along with small friendly letter on its side which for some reason says "ON'T PANI". It's slightly smudged). He scrolled through the screen. Octornapie. Octopipie? He remembered some squid-headed water god buying that to make fun of a linguist. No, that can't be it. Octornapie. Ah, here it is. A pie made of a specific variation of octopus.
John touched some buttons and went to the microphone at the back wall. "Hey. Someone ordered an Octornapie. I just sent the details. Get Ryan on the temporal drive to get the ingredients, alright?" John paused and glanced at his customer. They seemed completely famished. He went back to the mic. "Actually just get the pie there and bring it with you, just so- oh, ok. That was fast."
A door slid open on the wall, revealing a freshly-made octonarpie. John took it gingerly and served it to the fabric-clad dwarf. "Here you go. I hope it's to your liking."
John took a glance at the other customers. Levi was chatting, rather unhappily, with Mr. Trouble and his entourage. No problems yet on that front. And on the front door-
A teenage girl burst in.
"Train station? Ah, err." John blinked. Yet another person who only vaguely looked like someone who looked exactly like them. The new girl was the splitting image of Levi's previous companion, Yylya, but with wildly different temperament. "There's no train stations here, girl. This is the Restaurant at the End of the Universe." He pointed to the sign above his head.
And after that, from the front door, came a little robed girl flanked by guards. "Welcome to the Restaurant!" John waved merrily at at the newcomers. The Restaurant was getting some very interesting customers one after another.

@Man Jack Frost Hey, welcome to the RP! I'd really appreciate it if you write up your character sheet and put in the tab. I like your Doughlas Adams-y prose, by the way. :)
One thing, though: This version of the Restaurant at the End of the Universe is almost nothing like the one in the Hitchhiker series. For one thing, it's not called Milliways, it's just the Restaurant.

C'mon folks I only left for a couple of days. Don't start the powerplay fights without me around to break it.
@Infamous Empath and @Night_ Star: Are you two cool with each other now? I'm uhh, not seeing the problem in the IC post, so I assume it has been edited out?
True, you get to keep your lore, but roleplaying is collaborative writing. You can't hold fiercely on to your lore and expect it to go down the same way to everybody else.
I know these kinds of power-conflict will happen with this kind of roleplay, but I think you shouldn't take it too seriously. This is a good-vibe roleplay, ok. Take things in stride. Ask your fellow roleplaying mates to change small mistakes, yeah, but ye don't have to argue details. Someone's one-upping you IC? Just roll with it, one-up back until a GM character put his foot down IC.
Which I realise might not be how everyone likes to play it. In which case, feel free to collaborate and talk things out before the IC fights/duels/whathaveyous. Point: collaborate.
Hey, I'll be sad to see you go, but I don't want to hold you up here if it makes you uncomfortable. If you want to, you can talk to me about the whys through PM. It'll really help me to know what made you want to quit.
I'm not really clear on this: Have you asked @Infamous Empath's permission for this? Because the way you're playing your Yylya is nothing like how Infamous was playing her?

SilverRain reportin' for duty! I hope this RP has space for me - I'll be taking up Yylya, from Infamous' repertoire of characters.

Lyra arrived in her room drenched in water.
Her mind needed to back up a sec to even remember how she even got wet.
The assembly earlier ended in an off-note, and Lyra was still thinking about how it could be so off. There was that guy spewing profanities at the end. Not a teacher, of course. Could be a student, but how did he get up there, and why on earth would he even say those things? He could be looking for attention, but why then? He might know things that no other students do. It's possible he might just be having a bad day, but what kind of bad day would ignite such a public outburst? The weather outside was nice, the people here are awfully nice. His reaction was completely jarring and she was, for some odd reason, fascinated.
So fascinated in fact, that she only gave a passing thought to the water elementals (blobby, kind of cute. She didn't think they have a mind of their own, they're probably loosely controlled by a water elementalist) and her own steps (one at a time, just follow the crowd). She was halfway through remembering how the speech went in the hall earlier when she stepped right into a blob of water.
So that was what happened. Now she was in the entrance of her dorm room, very carefully handling her bags. She was still dripping water all over the floor; people can probably follow the trails from the hallway outside. Her violin was in its case, mostly unharmed. Lyra remembered, vaguely, of dropping it before she jumped right into the water elemental. She didn't know how that happened; it was almost like the wind blew it off her hand.
Either way, the first thing she had to do was get herself dry. The second thing would be to check on her instruments, and then maybe the rest of her belongings.
She looked at the trail of water and wondered if her roomate would be mad.

Hey guys, feel free to make up what the many rooms and hallways in the Restaurant is like. I just mentioned a Safe Room, in case your characters want to escape from the chaos that may or may not happen.
Also. I think I'm going to keep a steady one-post-every-two-three-days pace myself. If that's a bit too fast (or too slow??) just lemme know.
