There was a groan from the man who had been sleeping, slumped over a table. He slowly lifted his head, and blinked his eyes open. Huh, where was he? And why does his mouth faintly taste of apples? He smacked his lips a few times as he looked around. Well, there was a partially eaten apple. Only it's now rolled on the floor. So much for a snack.

Now where is this again? ...A bar? Ok... now, what else was he trying to think of? Oh a name, right. Damn, what was it again?

"Hiya, hot stuff!" It's a transparent woman. Made of what appears to be... goo. Wearing somebody's trenchcoat (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/17052308.html?thread=710033044#t710033044) and, apparently, nothing else. And she's hitting on you. Very obviously. Now what, Nathan?

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

"Huh?" He blinked, and looked around. "You're talking to me?"

And just what was she?

[berryberryraz.livejournal.com]

"Yep!" Raz beams. Lewdly.

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

Oooookay....

"Right, and sorry, but uh, you mind me asking what you are?" People usually weren't see through right?

[berryberryraz.livejournal.com]

Cheerfully, "No idea!"

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

"Bet you don't know your name either, right?"

Nathan glanced around, and put his hands on his hips, "Me neither."

[young_tmriddle]

Tom looks over from his table.

"Beg pardon, sir, might I ask you, er, where we are?"

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

Nathan shook his head, "Got me, I have no idea. Do you know your name?"

[young_tmriddle]

"Oh, dear. No. I was rather hoping you might know mine. How odd this is."

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

Nathan shook his head, "Never seen you before in my life. Sorry. I just woke up here, and I have no idea what's going on."

[young_tmriddle]

"Blast it all. I think I could be called John. I feel like a John."

Yes, from one of the most common names in England... to one of the most common names in England.

Nathan shrugged, "I guess so? I just know I'm Nathan, since I found a wallet on me. You got any kind of ID on you?"

[morelikeasponge.livejournal.com]

"Nathan?"

Peter has no idea where he is, what's going on, or what the hell he drank last night, but at least Nathan is here. Nathan, and a whole lot of strangers.

"What's going on, Nathan? What is this place?"

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

Nathan blinked, and went over to him, "You know who I am? Oh thank god, where are we?"

He put his hands on his shoulders. Hmmm... this did seem familiar.

[morelikeasponge.livejournal.com]

Peter just blinks back at him.

The last thing he can remember is stringing up Christmas lights in preparation for -- the party. Right. Nursing.

"Did you guys try to do a surprise party?" he says uncertainly.

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

"What? No... I don't think so. Why a party? Uh, do you know your name at least?"

[morelikeasponge.livejournal.com]

For a moment Peter stares in baffled silence; then he pulls away from Nathan, frowning.

"This isn't funny, Nathan." But he sounds more confused than angry. "What's going on? Is this about me being a nurse?"

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

Nathan stared back, and replied seriously, "I'm not laughing. You seem familiar. And a nurse? Not a doctor. Uh, can you check me for head injuries? I don't have a headache, but should make sure, right?"

And wondering why he felt annoyed, or exasperated at him.

Mostly likely an hour or so passes, before this happens. But, even if they don't remember, this is Milliways and in Milliways time can end up doing whatever it wants.

"No new news yet," Marian said walking up again. "But Number 5 and I devised a system so we could all start keeping ourselves in order, more recognizable to each other, until we can figure out the process. This is a name tag, with a number in order for how you were found. And there's a place for your name on it under the number if someone tells you who you were or you remember."

Handing over the tag on a lanyard, she says, "You're number 4, since we found you second. You can sign your name from the ID here. I'll be back to update you with anything more we learn when it happens."

Lilly spots Nathan. Lilly spots Nathan's befuddled look. Lilly grins.

Aria on one arm, she heads over.

"There you are, honey! I've been looking all over, do you mind holding Geckoette here while I grab us some dinner?"

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

"What? I don't think..."

Wait... a blonde telling him he's got a kid.

....This seems very familiar for some reason.

And why does he think she sounds weird without a Texas accent?

"...I guess?"

[awesome_lilly]

Oh, this is almost too easy. Lilly bestows her sweetest smile and a quick kiss on the cheek as she hands Aria over.

"You're the best, Nate. I don't know why your wife doesn't see that. I'll be right back!"

There's a little extra sashay in her hips as she strolls to the bar. She kinda can't help it.

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

Nathan blinked, and suddenly found himself with an armful of baby. Again, familiar enough that he had no trouble supporting her head instinctively.

Wait... did she say wife? So who was she?

"Wait, what? Hang on! Who are you again?"

...And is the baby crying

in key

?
What the hell?

[awesome_lilly]

Damn. So close to a clean, childfree getaway. Lilly sighs and returns to Nathan's side.

"I'm your mistress, duh. Well. You like to call me your courtesan and sometimes, weirdly, 'Mommy' when we're playing dress up, but that's a whole different story."

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

Funny, that didn't sound as weird to him as it probably should. Well, maybe the last part a little. Possibly?

"Ok... uh, you're coming right back for her, right?"
