My first threadzilla! I'm so proud. And scared.
Anyway. Due to the magic of Milliways time, most of these conversations were simultaneous, so the summary may be a touch garbled, but I'll try to keep them straight.
Will
introduces himself to Luna and Door. He also
has a brief chat with Snow White, in which they discuss living legends and the excitement of Milliways.
Moiraine strikes up a conversation too.
Mogget kindly spares Will another theological debate, which is good because he wouldn't have been coherent enough anyway after Door got to him.
Door and Luna have a
side conversation about pining for love, pine trees, and spiking drinks. They
decide that Will is far too serious for his own good, and that loony people are fun.
Then the real fun begins. Door
buys Will a drink, not bothering to mention that the lemonade is actually
hard lemonade. After a brief back-and-forth about whether or not it has alcohol in, she admits that it does, but only a little. Will, who's far too naive for his own good, agrees to have another so long as it's not too strong. They
buy each other Pink Ladies. Both get very giggly. They
have cotton candy/candyfloss, because it tastes pink too, and then move on to
mudslides. Will
figures out that he's drunk. He's briefly upset, but the conversation turns to talking about how
Milliways is safe and one can be oneself with friends here. Door eventually wanders off.
Meanwhile (I warned you these were simultaneous), Will (still sober at this point) and Moiraine
discuss the Light and the Dark, and prices paid for victory. There is
confusion between the Dragon Reborn and the Pendragon, and tipsy!Will gets rather mopey about the fact that Bran (his friend, and the Pendragon) doesn't remember anything of the Light or the Old Ones. (This is part of the "prices paid" bit.) Then Will
lets it slip that some of the people at Milliways have a lingering taint of Dark and, being the drunken idiot he is right now, eventually
names names. Moiraine, who has been
talking fairly amiably with Peter about healing and magic,
whirls on him. There are several tense moments, but eventually
Peter's sincerity and
Will's assurances that he's changed convince her. For the moment, anyway. She and Peter
discuss the reasons for his mistrust of her, and Peter
asks her to earn their trust by not doing things like spying on conversations and drawing on
saidar whenever she feels threatened. Moraine is noncommital, and then leaves.
Third and last simultaneous conversation.
Luna and sober!Will introduce themselves more fully. Luna is
perceptive, both about Will's actual age and about the fact that he's
actually fairly lonely. Luna figures out that
Merriman = Merlin, and is flabbergasted. When they're both
pretty thoroughly drunk, Luna
kisses Will. Will is stunned, but soon rallies, and they are
very drunk and cute. They argue about whether or not Luna is nice. Then they both
go to bed (separately, geez) to prevent Will from falling off his bar stool.
Oh, and there's an
OOC conversation at the bottom about how Liz, Will, Morpheus, and perhaps Peter should all get together and have a scrupulously polite pity party about the evils of hard liquor.
The End. Egad.
