*He's inside this time, so y'know, no flags. But he does have a laser pointer. Well, it's not so much a pointer, as a bit of light from which a line of light emits, letting another point drift across the face of the bar. If theres any Kitties around, it's bound to be tempting. He's perched calmly on a table, where he can get a good view on everyone. He's cautious like that. Well one hand aims the laser thingie, he reaches out with the other one, and a rat thats not busy gets a flight across the room.*

Hiya Al! long time no see. I need a mead, and ....huh... y'know, i don't remember the last time i ate. How about some fried paradoxes? Thanks.

*And he is kind enough to send Al back across the room.*

Ace goes straight to the point. She tends to, when hungry.
"How does one get some decent grub around here?" she asks, eyeing the food some of the other patrons have.

"Oh! Oh." She keeps to herself her ponderings about having to catch and/or eat rats and digs into her pockets instead. She is beginning to wish she had gotten the Professor to show her how to do that whole time-pocket trick, it certainly would come in handy here. Her hand come back with two dubloons, a Centuriaan dicoid, and a sentient purple crab that is used as currency on certain worlds.

Carefully Ace tucks the crab back into her pocket and waves the discoid at one of the rats.
"Hey! You!" she calls, then looks askence at Tim. "Like that?"

"Brill." Ace grins, glad something is going her way. She looks the rat in the eye.
"Umm... How 'bout some muffins?" she ventures hesitantly. As the rat scampers off, she shouts after it.
"And some tea would be nice too!"

"What's a dox?" Ace asks curiously, looking at the fried lumps.

"Well, thank goodness for that." Ace replies sarcastically, but takes a paradox anyway. She is rather hungry.

"Why do I not find that comforting?" she asks, but she does take a tentative bite of the unidentifable fried thing. Well....

....

It isn't an onion ring.

"Yessss...." Ace draws out the word, because she isn't entirely sure. They aren't bad... Then the rat re-appears with piping hot muffins and creamy butter, and a second follows with a steaming cup of tea in bone china. Ace blinks in surprise at the finery, but hands them the discoid anyway. One of the rats (could have been the original one, Ace couldn't tell) took the discoid in his paws and scuttled away with it.
