[heyred]

Red races through the door at top speed, but instead of the shifting and familiar feeling of the Sandbox under her boots the floor is hard like she's still running out on the streets in Goldwalk. She stops short, her double-handed grip on Transistor's hilt tightening.

It is the sword that speaks, slow and calm but definitely uncertain. "I don't think we're in Cloudbank anymore, Red."

She resists the urge to roll her eyes. Not the time.

[thewidewideworld]

Her speedy arrival through the door startles a pretty androgynous blonde so badly Sinric drops an arm full of books and sends him sprawling. "Oh!"

[withoutnightnostars]

Wait a minute. This...is not the cafeteria.

Bella Swan rolls her eyes at herself. Obviously it's not the cafeteria, because why would the cafeteria have a bar and...are those rats? Bella squints slightly, and shakes her head.

So this is a dream. A weird one, and not the norm...because Edward's not here and no one is trying to murder her and she's not screaming.

Her fingers tighten on her backpack strap. And then she quite eloquently says "Uhm."

[onceaviking]

Hmm.

Eric leans against the wall and watches the girl.
Obviously new.


{ooc: sorry}

[withoutnightnostars]

[ooc: bwahah yes]


She feels like someone is watching her...but honestly, she always feels that way.

Bella narrows in on the guy standing against the wall. He looks like the kind of guy Edward would tell her to stay away from. So naturally: "Uh. Hi?"

[onceaviking]

"Hello."

He smiles a little and pushes away from the wall.
He's really tall, like, really tall. Pale, muscular, dressed in black from head to toe.

"You're new her, right?"

He sounds mostly American, but there's a hint of something else there.

[withoutnightnostars]

She gapes up at him. Bella's not as short as Alice...but definitely not as tall as Edward...and this guy is like...really tall. The pale, muscular, wearing somber colors thing reminds her of the Cullens.

Maybe he's a vampire. But he doesn't seem like...any of the vampires she's met before. "Uh, I guess. I thought I was walking into the cafeteria...my high school definitely doesn't have a bar."

[onceaviking]

"No, that would be rather unusual," Eric says.
"You're not at your high school. The door you came through leads back to it though. It's all very mysterious and there are plenty of people who'll be much better qualified at explaining it than me."

His smile somehow makes the statement seem less modest.

"I'm Eric."

[heatherandsteel]

Quentin looks up from his book at her um, he's not that human with hair the color of bronze, pointed ears and tries for a reassuring smile, "First time?"

[withoutnightnostars]

"For what?" Bella cards a hand through her hair and sighs exasperatedly. "This isn't my cafeteria, I know that much. But what is it?"

[heatherandsteel]

"For being in Milliways. The food's better than most cafeterias. Its the Bar at the End of the Universe, you stepped through a magical portal."

[withoutnightnostars]

She makes an awkward gesture with her hands. It seems to say what the what.

"A bar? At the end of the universe? Magical portal?" Bella shuts her eyes for a moment. "I thought my life couldn't get weirder."

[electro_kinetic]

"Oh, that's the look of someone who didn't get enough sleep before class," says Noriko, lounging in a chair with a sealed cup of bubble milk tea that is oddly purple in color with orange pearls at the bottom.

[withoutnightnostars]

Bella eloquently stares at the girl. And the bubble tea. 'Cause that's not normal.




"Where am I?"

[electro_kinetic]

"Milliways," Noriko answers promptly and without concern. "Bar. Don't worry, you're not hallcinating, you're not actually at a school. Are you gonna zone out on me if I try to explain?"

[withoutnightnostars]

"Uh, I'll try not?"

[not_that_count]

The man sitting near eyes the girl from his languid sprawl on a chair. He sighs. He is wearing what could be considered Gothic...

"Why is it that I can't seem to get away from teenage girls?" He asks himself before responding to the girl, "You aren't in Kansas or whatever American place you are from, anymore. Welcome to the Bar at the End Universe... you should ask the Bar, or a rat for the pamphlet."

[withoutnightnostars]

"A...a rat?" Bella blinks at him. "Kansas?"

[not_that_count]

"Yes, isn't that a line from one of your movies?" he asks, "Something about a girl and her dog, and a witch getting melted."

He took his feet off the table and placed them firmly on the ground.

"That is the Bar, the most intelligent piece of furniture you will find anywhere. And those rats, well, they are rather interesting creatures that serve around here."

Really what are they teaching kids in these schools?

[withoutnightnostars]

"Wizard of Oz," Bella mumbles, scratching her forehead idly. "Intelligent furniture?"

God, she sounds so stupid to herself. Why can't she string together one intelligent sentence? It's all 'uh' and 'uhm' and repeating words.

"I know what a rat is," She frowns at him. "But serve? Like...waiters?"

[soldier_blade]

Sonya sat by herself at a table, a file folder in front of her. Thankfully, Cassie was able to get the info she needed, and milliways provided a good place to study without arousing suspicion around the Base.

Her attire is basic military fatigues, her age itself hard to place. She only just looks up see a young woman standing by the door. "Let me guess, first time in Milliways."

[withoutnightnostars]

"Uh, I guess so." Bella rubs at her forehead. She's so confused. "What is it?"

[soldier_blade]

"Milliways." She closed the manilla file on the table. "Consider a sort of tavern between worlds and eras: it's also sentient, answers to 'Ms. Bar', and likes to sneak Doors when she thinks people need a break.

Somethings people could find doors, but more often than not they were surprise visits.

"You're allowed to sit down, you know." The girl looked a few seconds away from fainting.

[withoutnightnostars]

Bella walks to and sits in a chair with the grace of a robot. All elbows and knees and definitely seconds from fainting. "Between worlds and eras?"

There's a little twitch, she can feel it, behind her eye. So far it only happens when Jacob and Edward argue but now...now it's happening for this...whole mess too.

Late to the party but I can't resist

[samurai_princess]

She comes in, eyes darting about for threats and widening when she finds a bar instead of a classroom. She's an older teen and dressed in a bloodstained (None of it hers) school uniform (white and green sailor's color with a long green, pleated skirt) and carrying a bokken like she knows how to use it.

The bokken has blood and bits of hair clinging to it.
