Sheppard is in the Bar, sitting at a table and having himself a drink. There's been no more backlash from his doppelganger causing nightmares around the place and for that he's ever grateful. He'd rather keep himself in tact.

Though the Colonel is a bit bored which might not be a good thing. Not a good one at all. Which is why Bar provides him a crossword puzzle to go along with his beer. Hey, it worked for him. That's all that really mattered.

"Hey," said a scruffy academic with an armful of papers and books.

[walktheworlds]

Sheppard hears the voice and turns a bit giving a grin. "Well, I'll be damned." Because, you know, its Daniel.

[diehard_daniel]

"Can I sit here?"

There is a sound of urgency in his voice and a waitrat behind him with coffee.

[walktheworlds]

"Have a seat, take a load off."

He's not noticed the waitrat yet. Even though he's seen them around and his Major had told him quite a few things about the place.

[diehard_daniel]

Daniel dumped his work on the table and took a seat.

"How is Atlantis?"

[walktheworlds]

"She's still standing. All we can really ask for."

He raises a slight brow.

"Light reading, Dr. Jackson?"

It's mildly teasing.

[diehard_daniel]

"Oh no, it is just a little PUN-ishment," laughed Daniel.

[walktheworlds]

He gives a laugh of his own. "What'd you do this time? I swear between you and McKay..."

[diehard_daniel]

"This is what I get for figuring out the Stargate in the first place," said Daniel, "Remember that 'we have a form for that'"

[walktheworlds]

"You discovered the Stargate and I had to go and sit in a chair making a city come alive. We're doomed."

[diehard_daniel]

"I didn't discover the Stargate, I just decoded it," explained Daniel, "And doomed us all. It is all my fault you know."

He's grinning and pouring coffee into a mug.

[walktheworlds]

"Should I hurt you for that one or praise you?" He asks with a slight smirk before shaking his head. "Seeing as it is all your fault and all."

[diehard_daniel]

"As long as you don't PUN-t me out the door," said Daniel.

He's been spending way too much time with Jerry.

There is someone from a different Atlantis, not far from Sheppard.

"Word puzzles are not for children in your world?" Kida is fast on her way to being quite certain there's no one else from her world, even the surface, here.

[walktheworlds]

He looks up giving the unknown woman a genuine smile.

"No, they're for anyone that wants to do them. Children tend to do more circle word puzzles than anything else."

[of-atlantis.livejournal.com]

She gives a small smile in return, and looks curiously at the puzzle. "What is the point of those?"

[walktheworlds]

"It gives you a hint and lets you know whether it is up or down and then you try to figure out the word that goes with the hint."

[of-atlantis.livejournal.com]

"What if you cannot write?"

[walktheworlds]

"No one has ever taught you how?"

[of-atlantis.livejournal.com]

"None in my world know how," she explains. "It has been several millennia since anyone could read or write it."

[walktheworlds]

"Millennia?" He frowns a bit. "Are you an Ancient?" Hey, they don't know them personally.

[of-atlantis.livejournal.com]

She shakes her head, white hair--literally white--swinging around her shoulders.

"No. I am from Atlantis."

[walktheworlds]

"You are?"

He studies her intently after those words.

"I've never seen you there before."

[of-atlantis.livejournal.com]

She raises a brow. "I have certainly never seen you there either... But you are not from the same Atlantis I am from." Kida gestures to his coloration, and the lack of tattoos or crystal.

"You look like you are from the surface."

[walktheworlds]

"I am."

He shakes his head a bit.

"So there's two Atlantis'."
