There was suddenly a man in a black suit, white shirt, and tie standing just inside the door. His face registered with confusion for a split second. He knew where and when he was, despite never having been here before. It was part of his nature. This place was an affront against the balance of nature, what with it being in its own pocket of time, and not ending with everything else around it. In all reality, he didn't really care weather this place existed or not, it wasn't part of his universe. The was the problem for the being responsible for the natural order in this one.

He strolled up to the bar and sat down leaning his cane against Bar and ordered a beer and fried paradoxes. They apeared on the surface of Bar with a napkin bearing a note: "Welcome to The Bar at the End of the Universe!"

"Thank you," he said to her surface in a well mannered soft spoken voice.

There's a girl sitting in a corner nearby the door, watching the people come in and out of the door while shaking. Her eyes are filled with fear and she's trying to shrink back as much as possible, but she's pretty tall and hard to ignore.

It's her first visit and she has no idea what this place is or how she got here. Crona is an easily scared girl and this is not helping.

Another girl walks through the door, eyes on her smartphone and unsure of the text she just received. She closes out of her messages and clicks her blog, intending to write up her thoughts on the matter. She approaches the corner only to stop short when she senses Crona's presence.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" she says on reflex, bolting upright and taking a step back. "I didn't mean to try taking your corner."

[lovesmrcorner]

"Ah?" Crona looks up at her and hugs her own knees closer to herself. "It's okay?"

Crona's mind is working fast to figure out if she knows the other girl, but that is not true.

[halfemptyglasses]

"....it is?" Mirai asks, still getting used to the easy acceptance of apologies people offer here. "Ah, b-but I should still move."

She sidesteps until she's about a yard away from Crona and then leans against the wall.

"Is this okay? Should I go farther?"

[lovesmrcorner]

"If you like." Crona doesn't feel it's her place to tell anyone how to act, especially someone she doesn't know.

[halfemptyglasses]

Mirai slides down until she's sitting on the floor and resumes typing on her phone. She glances towards Crona, wondering if she's frightening her and mentally chiding herself that it shouldn't be surprising if she is.

Except she doesn't know, does she?

"A-are you new?" she tries.

[lovesmrcorner]

"I'm new," Crona agrees, staring at the floor. She's not sure what to do about being looked at - people tend not to like looking at her. "But where am I new to?"

[halfemptyglasses]

"It's a place called Milliways," Mirai answers. "I-it's not as unpleasant as it seems."

Or at least, she doesn't think so anymore.

[lovesmrcorner]

"It has many people."

Crona does find that unpleasant, but the place in itself is very nice.

[halfemptyglasses]

"Yeah, but there are rooms upstairs. A-and if you're underage, there's a fund for minors. I have a room to myself here."

[lovesmrcorner]

"Rooms?" Such a thing would just be another place Crona would squat in and fear anything outside that door, barely ever falling asleep. "But why?"

[halfemptyglasses]

"People stay here. I... I haven't really left since I got here, even though I could."

Mirai tucks her phone away into her pocket, folding her arms over her knees.

[lovesmrcorner]

"Do I have to stay here?" A flash of alarm crosses Crona's face.

[halfemptyglasses]

Mirai shakes her head no and goes, "Probably not. If you can see the door I came through, then you can come and go."

[lovesmrcorner]

"Oh, okay." She visibly relaxes once she glances at the door and still sees it.

[halfemptyglasses]

Mirai fiddles with her fingers a little and asks, "Want some tea?"
