Tap, tap goes the end of a sawed-off pool cue converted into a white cane with a red painted end. Whistler keeps it in the office supply closet for navigating around Milliways, since the internal geography of the place keeps changing on him. It's more useful there than at home.
When he reaches the Bar he sets the cane aside and rests both sets of fingertips against the varnished surface. "Hey, Bar?" he says. "Who do I talk to about upgrading the sound system? Is Bernard still around, or do I go through Mikey or what?"
After he gets his answer, which comes in the form of rising and falling dots of varnish under his fingertips, he nods. "Okay, good to know. Thanks. Can I get some lunch in the meantime?"
Lunch will be consumed while reading an early 1990s issue of Audio Science Today in Braille. Much as he'd love to get issues that correspond with the dates on the equipment he installed in the Bar, she won't give him anything to read that's from that many years in what might conceivably be his own future.
