First Entrance

[underdarkangel.livejournal.com]

The drow pulled his hair out of his eyes as he rose from his bed to the sounds of a grumbling dwarf in the antechamber.

“Just cause ye killed more orcs than most’ a me boys doesn’t mean you can sleep past high sun, now hurry up and get to the war room ya durned fool of an elf.”

Knowing that his friend was more bluster than bite, Drizzt rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and dressed for the coming day.

Finally strapping on his cloak and his holy symbol carved from the bone of a knucklehead trout he opens the door to his room and steps through to find himself in the strangest looking tavern he has ever seen. Immediately he pulls his hood up and lowers his head to shield his telltale skin from view as he takes a seat at the bar.

"Where in the Nine Hells am I?"


He mutters to himself as he looks around for a bartender or someone who perhaps has a friendly smile.

Hooded figures don't usually tend to be good things.

It's with that in mind that Corran makes note of the one that just stepped through the door and walked right past him to sit down at the bar.

And that's it... he just... sits there. Maybe...

"Hey there...new to the joint?"

[underdarkangel.livejournal.com]

With his hood still pulled low over his face he turns to see who is addressing him.

"Yes good sir I fear I am, but where exactly am I."

[corsec-jedi.livejournal.com]

Corran chuckled. This could be interesting.

"Well, there's no good way to explain this to you, so here it is: Welcome to Milliway's, the Bar at the End of the Universe. First drink's free to the new guys, so order whatever you like."

[underdarkangel.livejournal.com]

"pray tell sir what is a bar?" he gestrues toward the seat next to him inviting the man to sit.

[corsec-jedi.livejournal.com]

Corran moves down the bar and smirks. Force, how to explain this one?

"Uh, alright, let's put it this way... if you want alcohol, or food, or whatever, this is the place to come. Depending on where your'e from, might be called a restaurant, tavern, inn, or tapcaf, too."

Sipping at the Corellian whiskey that seems omnipresent with Corran, he continues. "Only here, there's not usually anyone running the bar. It kinda runs itself. And we've got rooms upstairs. So y'don't really have to leave the place."

"So are we in an alternate dimension that the Harpells have created?" he aks looking around for the first time.

[95-tan.livejournal.com]

Well, here's a friendly smile. "Ah, I don't believe I have seen you here before. Are you perhaps new to this place?"

[underdarkangel.livejournal.com]

"Indeed I am but I know not where here is." Keeping his hood low he turns toward the warm voice.

[95-tan.livejournal.com]

She bows. "Welcome to Milliways. It is known as the Bar at the End of the Universe. I am Windows 95, OS to the Say True newspaper."

Straightening, she adds, "You have not had things explained to you yet, then?"

[underdarkangel.livejournal.com]

"No I have only just arrived."

[95-tan.livejournal.com]

"Ah, so desu ne... let's see... The rules first, I think. There is to be no violence, no nudity, and no outside business while inside this place." She eyes his swords, adding, "You are allowed to defend yourself, of course, but any issues should be taken outside."

[underdarkangel.livejournal.com]

"... Fair enough."

Having heard the rules he hesitantly reaches up and pulls back his hood revealing his pitch black skin, shockingly white hair, pointed ears, and purple eyes.

"My name is Drizzt Do`Urden milady and you are?"

[shockinglycute.livejournal.com]

Whoa....

WHAT A WEIRD-LOOKING HUMAN!

A yellow creature approaches him cautiously, nose twitching as it scents the air.

"pikaaaa...."

[underdarkangel.livejournal.com]

Looks down from his stool and sight the strange yellow creature coming toward him. smiles then pulls a piece of dried apple from his pack and offers it to the creature.

"Well hello there."

[shockinglycute.livejournal.com]

It pauses, eyeing him.

Then, cautiously, inches forward, straining to get at the offered snack without getting close enough for grabbing.

"pikaa...."

[transgenic-max.livejournal.com]

"Not quite." He's being eyed curiously by a young woman sitting at a table a short ways away. "This is the end of the universe, not hell."

Tact? Not so much Max's strong point.

[underdarkangel.livejournal.com]

"...The end of the universe? you mean I am on some alternate plane of course?"
He stands and walks towards the table.

[transgenic-max.livejournal.com]

"Yes and no. I mean the end of the universe," there's a brief gesture towards the Observation Window - or rather, the impressive lightshow beyond it. "But you're certainly no longer in your own world. This is...a nexus point between all possible realities, I suppose."

Her head is tilted slightly to one side, unnaturally sharp eyes trying to peer beneath the hood. She's curious by nature.

[underdarkangel.livejournal.com]

Still massivley confused he pulls his hood back showing his black skin, shockingly white hair pointed ears and piercing purple eyes. Meeting her gaze he sees something there he recognizes.

"An extra dimension? Such as a wizard might conjure?"

[transgenic-max.livejournal.com]

Her reaction is far less extreme than one might expect. A faint flicker of surprise, a raised eyebrow at the alien appearance, a moment spent wondering what sort of world he comes from. No fear, though.

"Not quite. I'm not certain whether this place existed before the nexus point did, or was built upon it by an early traveller, but whatever power created it is beyond the scope of mortals. Or gods." The latter is said with the irreverence of one who is a staunch atheist. "I'm sure you could spend a millenium or two trying to figure out just how Milliways came to be, and never get close."

[underdarkangel.livejournal.com]

"well as I am not THAT long lived I guess I shall just have to try to get by with that explanation."

He rests his hands easily on the hilts of his scimtars and flashes a quick smile that leads into a bow.

" I am Drizzt Do`Urden Of Icewindale."

[azarathsraven.livejournal.com]

"Not anywhere near the nine levels of hell." Comes a raspy throated comment from behind a mug of tea and a wire bound notebook. "They're not as nicely decorated."

[underdarkangel.livejournal.com]

Looks around confused for a moment the finally settles on the voice.

"Mayhaps you will be able to tell me where I am then."
