First Entrance

Hurley has been through a lot, lately. A lot.

So when, instead of entering his cave, he ends up at a bar, well... he thinks he's going crazy again.

"Oh dude, this is so not cool," he says to himself.

"Uhhh, I guess?" Hurley says. "This is my first time here in wacky magic bar thing land."

"You look a little spooked," she says, then laughs, more to herself than anything else. "Not that I blame you. My first time was a bit like that." She holds out her hand cordially. "I'm Martha Kent."

"I'm Hurley," he says. "I'm... kinda... lost I guess."

"I know the feeling," she says, as she gives him the once over and frowns in confusion. "Although...something tells me this is an...extreme case. Where are you coming from, Hurley?"

"Weird, desert island," Hurley says. "My plane crashed."

Martha's eyes widen immediately and she resists the urge to make a scene. "You're kidding me! Are you all right? Is everyone else all right?"

Beat.

"How on earth did you wind up here?"

"We crashed, like, a bit ago," Hurley says. "I... was trying to go into my cave. And I ended up... here."

"Well, that's certainly...unsettling. Looks to me like you could use a drink then, no?"

"This jackass bought me a beer," Hurley says. "But I guess I won't say no to, like... a Coke or something."

She guides him over to the bar and leaves him in the care of the faithful bartender. "He'll help you with anything you need." She touches him lightly on the shoulder. "Good luck, Hurley. I sincerely hope things work out for you, and the rest of the people on your plane."

"Thanks," Hurley says. "I guess I'll... see you around?"

She smiles slyly. "I'm sure you will."

Hurley gives her a little smile and a wave.
