That door's been opening for an awful lot of new faces the last few days. So it shouldn't be much of a surprise when a tall, fair-haired man with a tremendous bushy mustache strolls in through the door, yelling back over his shoulder.

"The bet's $20, but no fair starting before I get back. You can wait 45 seconds while I run to the bathroom, right, Mav?"

As he walks in the door, he turns his head to watch where he's headed--and the cocksure grin draped across his face simply melts away. "Mav? I think they've done something to the men's room."

Silence answers him, and he turns to look over his shoulder with a confused look--just in time to notice a complete lack of any sort of door behind him. "Mav--the hell? How'd I get in here?"

He looks around him, and takes in much of the scope of the place. "And where the hell is here?"

Goose half-crawls up on his chair before eaisng his feet back down. "Okay, you know what? I know you said this place was weird, but... is there anything normal about this place? Something I can cling to that tells me I'm not passed out somewhere on the base or something?"

He glances over in the direction of the bar, and notices the lack of a bartender on duty--and still about a half-dozen people sitting at the bar. "And isn't there a bartender on duty?"

"The bar's voice activated, like on Star Trek," Ray says. "They don't always need a bartender. If it's normal you want, I'd suggest the back yard. The weather's kind of a downer at the moment, but it's pretty reassuringly ordinary out there."

As long as he doesn't wander into the woods, the stables, or the deep part of the lake.

"Except the part where I've never heard of a bar having a backyard." He shakes his head slowly. "I'll take normal where I can get it, though." He thinks for a minute, before shrugging, "And a voice-activated Bar sounds like fun. I know they've started to do some fun things with computers, so..."

"I have no idea what it's doing out there, but it's probably the most ordinary thing about the place. I try not to think about it too hard. There's too many other things competing for brain space."

He smiles. "Go ahead and try it. Just walk up and ask it for whatever it is you want. You'll see."

Goose takes a long glance at the bar, shrugs and stands. "You know, I think I will. Thanks for the help, Ray." He kaunters slowly over to the bar, waiting for more weird things to surprise him.

And maybe along the way, someone can tell me how to leave.
