Entrance Post

[finn-beginagain.livejournal.com]

Riley was approaching some vampires....but he followed them through a door and at this moment, the door in Milliway's flies open and a man in a somewhat form fitting shirt, sneaks...well maybe not as sneaky as he had hoped....into the Bar and Restaurant at the end of the universe. Riley Finn glances around him bewildered, well maybe quite confused as he straightens himself out. He purses his lips and walks slowly through the place, trying to take in the fact that there's a bar in a CRYPT!

Welcome to Milliway's Riley Finn.

[OOC: Mun is in training but will be popping in and out through the day. Slowtime is love and if you need me directly please e-mail me at milliwaysreplies@gmail.com]

Yummy

Amanda appraoches, "Good Morning." she smiles brightly. The confused look doesn't get past her keen observational skills, "Welcome to Milliways." hey she's taking a chance, it's the gambler in her.

"Milli...what? One moment I was following vampires, and the next, I walk into a crypt and I'm in a BAR."

He's not freaking out...I swear...

[amanda-darieux.livejournal.com]

Bingo, she was right. He is new.

She smiling very sweetly and her tone is kind, "This is Milliwys the bar at the end of the Universe." she gestures to two seats at the bar, "Now please have a seat and I will explain."

[finn-beginagain.livejournal.com]

It still doesn't seem to be sinking in. Riley thinks for a moment and says to himself,

"The bar,"

Pause, wide eyes, then realization.

"at the end of the Universe?"

Face meet palm, palm meet face. Riley does indeed creep up to the bar and slinks into his seat.

"This has to be some demon's work or something...."

[amanda-darieux.livejournal.com]

Okay well the whole vampire and demon comments are actually a good sign. It means it'll be easier for him to believe.

"Not as far as I know. This is Lady Bar." she places a gentle hand on the countertop, "She is a sentient being, though not a demon as far as I can tell. She and a being known only as the Landlord are the ones that bring people here. What would you like to drink?"

[finn-beginagain.livejournal.com]

Riley thinks for a moment.

"Just some coffee will be fine."

Riley sighs and places a hand gently on Bar and then blinks as the coffee appears right before him. He picks up the mug, looks at it and then sips it...he then shrugs.

"The Landlord? Bar too? They bring people here? And here I was hoping that since Adam is gone that I might just be able to go on with my life in Sunnydale."

[amanda-darieux.livejournal.com]

Okay, Sunnydale hits a cord with Amanda though she holds off for a moment, "I believe so. Though no one ever sees or speaks with the landlord. There is a barman, Bernard that has a connection to Bar. Sometimes a human touch is needded, or so Ive been told. I've never actuaklly met Bernard. There are three simple rules to follow while in Bar, one, no nudity or sex. If you meet someone and want to play take it to your room or theirs. No Business in bar, If you meet your worst enemy in the bar you should a worst glare at each other, at best make nice or avoid each other. The third rule is no violence allowed in the bar."

Then extending her hand, "By the way, I'm Amanda."

[finn-beginagain.livejournal.com]

Riley nods slowly, and then shakes the hand firmly.

"Riley....Riley Finn. So when you say that they bring people here...this means that I'm not the only one who just randomly stumbled in here?"

[amanda-darieux.livejournal.com]

"As far as Iknow everyone you see was seemingly randomly brought here from their worlds, though in time you may find yourself coming here on purpose. As it so happens you and I are actually from different versions of earth. There are others here from Sunnydale." she orders a glass of water to let this process.

[finn-beginagain.livejournal.com]

Riley is nodding and drinking his coffee. At the mention of others from Sunnydale, he almost falls off of his seat.

"Others? Who? Where are they?"

He stands on his feet now, ready to search.

[amanda-darieux.livejournal.com]

She goes to help him up, "I don't know if they're around please relax. There are quite a few. Just a reminder, no violence. There is Jonathan and Andrew, Xander, Spike, Faith, Buffy, and some others." she waves her hand. [OOC: mun can't remeber who else Amanda knows is from sunnydale in Millicanon]

[finn-beginagain.livejournal.com]

When he hears Buffy's name he looks around for her. Then for Xander...or at least for some familiar face to find refuge in. He sighs, for a moment. Sitting again head in hands and then he drinks down the entire glass of water.

[amanda-darieux.livejournal.com]

Placing a gentle hand on his back, "Please relax. I'm sure your friends will be around. Now can you see the door you came through?"

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

Giles had been in and out the Bar. Mostly spending time in the library.

He stopped in to get some tea and food, and paused at the familiar face arriving.

"Riley?"

[finn-beginagain.livejournal.com]

Riley stiffens for a moment and then turns...

"Giles?"

Oh thank god, the poor guy was going to have a coronary searching for someone he knew. He's a little confused but thanks to Amanda...a little calmer than he started as well.

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

Giles nodded, and offered a chair to the young man, "Here, sit down. You just arrived, didn't you?"

[finn-beginagain.livejournal.com]

Riley nods slowly,

"Not even 10 minutes ago. It's weird. I'm still not exactly sure what this place is or why I'm here instead of back home. Or what you're doing here instead of back home..."

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

Giles nodded, "In a moment, but I need to ask you something first, it might seem confusing, but it's rather important. What year is it for you?"

[finn-beginagain.livejournal.com]

"It's the year 2000, not long after we defeated The Initiative....why?"

Cue confused puppy Riley look.

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

"I need a frame of reference for comparison. Because my time is some years after that. It was early 2004 in my world when I arrived here. You'll find that quite common here. People come from various points in time, and various worlds, even if the world is basically the same for some of them."

Giles gently added, "There are several of us from essentially the same world. Or similiar to one another with slight deviations as it were. But most are not from the same time. In fact I would estimate the majority here are likely from your future, or a possible future, including myself. Do you understand?"

[finn-beginagain.livejournal.com]

Riley nods slowly,

"I uh think so? Dare I ask...do I get the girl?"

He's joking really...but the question needs asking.

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

Giles was silent at that, not wishing to say a word on such private matters. That was a discussion for him and Buffy alone, and it was on her to divulge if she so wished to.

He leaned in closer, and noticed something odd. His eyes widened in sharp alarm at the sight, "Good lord, your neck. Are you all right? Any dizziness?"

[finn-beginagain.livejournal.com]

Riley would eep if a sound actually escaped his lips as a hand reaches toward his neck instinctively,

"Oh this? Not really...no."

He's nervous...oh hell yes he's nervous... *twitch*

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

Giles became more stern at the seeming apathetic remark, and the nervousness. He wasn't completely aware of the circumstances that caused the young man's departure, but he knew there was great tension involved at the time.

"Riley. What happened?"

[finn-beginagain.livejournal.com]

"It's nothing. Really."

He quickly reassures the watcher.

"It's something that happened back home. No big at all."
