Holden's First Update
Holden wandered into Milliways (he still has no idea how he got there and he can't seem to leave.)
He orders a scotch and soda from Dionysus who won't serve him alcohol because he is underage. Holden settles for a coke but is insulted when it comes with cherry in it!
Dionysus lights his cigarette with magic. Euterpe plays a lovely rendition of "Rhapsody in Blue" at Holden's request.
He is stuck in the bar overnight and wakes to see Bernard and Fleur getting it on in front of everyone.
Holden is too nervous and confused to talk to anyone or do more than lurk. He reads a notice on the bulletin board about an experiment and signs up to help, because he thinks it might help him find a way home.
Hunger finally drives Holden to ask the bar for breakfast. But it gives him a margarita instead. He manages to get breakfast too and another drink and sneaks off with them into a corner. Fleur introduces herself and makes Holden nervous, but Ingress distracts them by bursting into tears. Holden introduces himself to Bernard who is attempting to soothe Ingress. Ingress takes an immediate shine to Holden. She befriends him and invites him to live with her and Door. So cute. Wah!
Very, very long thread here in which Holden eats lunch (that Bernard makes for them so it isn't contaminated with Tequila!) with Ingress and talks to Bernard and Fleur. Holden burns himself to test if he is dreaming or mad and Fleur heals him with magic.
Bernard tells Holden he should check with Sirius about getting job - when Holden asks for advice. But then there is some upset when a man with a gun walks into the bar. Bernard takes care of him by breaking a bottle over his head.
Holden asks Sirius for a job and is hired!
Holden meets Lord Dream
After talking to Hamlet Holden is curious and asks the bar for a book, which the bar gives him. Todd sees Holden stow the book away and is curious about it. But Holden evades him and doesn't like him right off.
The bar floods but Holden is busy reading his book he doesn't notice.
He meets Gil, Rat, and Angie and eats some of the lovely beef stew Gil has made. Holden likes Gil right off.
He wants to make a good impression as a new staff member and he rushes around asking everyone what they need. He serves Alanna and Thom and talks to them a bit. He tries to serve Scully but she brushes him off. Bernard snaps at Holden but then apologizes. Pepper tells Holden that children die because of the beef stew you serve here and Holden is very upset and swears to become a vegetarian.
Holden can see Fleur is upset and he brings her tea. He is afraid to sit with her because she keeps trying to touch him and because he is supposed to be working.
Tom Riddle goes to fetch Holden to show him his room at The Arch House. He is startled that Holden is almost a grown man and makes it very clear that Door is off limits. In fact he half terrifies Holden.
Sorry this is so long! I'm having way too much fun.
