waiting for no one in particular ...

L sits in the bar at the end of the universe. He sits alone at the counter, slowly swirling sugar cubes into a cup of coffee.

"Well," said Daniel taking a chair and taking a tray from a weight rat that had been behind him," I have a door in my office to the bar, and I come here to get work done. Other than that I don't know."

He poured a cup of coffee and drank some.

"Ahhh, that's good," he said, "There is also the coffee, and some of my friends come here. Why are you here?"

[l_is_ryuzaki]

"Coffee." said L. "I also here because I hear this bar serves a mean gin & tonic. I do find it rather convient that you have a door that leads to the bar from your office. What sort of work do you do, Mr ... ? "

[diehard_daniel]

"Dr," said Daniel, "Dr. Daniel Jackson. I am an Archaeologist, Linguist, and sometimes an Ethnologist. I work for the government, and the rest is confidential. Mr...."

[l_is_ryuzaki]

"Ryuga. Hideki Ryuga." responds L. "I too sometimes dabble in classified business for the government. It gets stressful, at times, and a good drink can take the edge off."

L holds up his coffee, looks at it, adds a few more sugar cubes, and takes a sip.

"It really hits the spot. I also asked for a slice of cake earlier, but it hasn’t come yet. Care to join me?"

[diehard_daniel]

"Sure," said Daniel with a raised eyebrow, "Think you have enough coffee in your sugar?"

[l_is_ryuzaki]

"Hmm ... I think your right." said L. "I need a few more sugar cubes."

L drops in a few more cubes and takes another sip.

"Hmm, almost there."

He reaches for the bowl of sugar cubes, only to find it empty.

"Oh, that's unfortunate. Bartended, can I get a few more sugar cubes!?”

[diehard_daniel]

"No!" laughed Daniel, "I was joking!"

[l_is_ryuzaki]

"Ahh ... well you are a very funny man." said L. "Where is my cake, I'm getting rather impatient.

"My apologies, I forgot to offer you a piece of cake as well. Would you like one too?"

[diehard_daniel]

"You have to be patient the rats are doing their best," said Daniel, "And I wouldn't want to get Bar mad, she's got a wicked since of humor."

[l_is_ryuzaki]

"The bar?" questioned L. "You speak as though it lives."

[diehard_daniel]

"She does," said Daniel, "And she is quite a character."

[l_is_ryuzaki]

"Hmm? Quite interesting. Would you mind telling me more about her?"

[diehard_daniel]

"She's magic," said Daniel, "You might want to talk to the barman if you want to know more. I think his name is Mike."

[l_is_ryuzaki]

"Very intriguing."

L took abother sip if coffee/

"Ahh! Here comes my cake. Would you like a slice, Dr. Jackson?"

[diehard_daniel]

"Not today," said Daniel, "I ate too much yesterday."

He sipped his own coffee.

[l_is_ryuzaki]

"Oh. Well then, more for me, I suppose."

L didn't even bother cutting off a slice. He simply dug into the whole cake at once.

"Dr. Jackson," L said with a mouthful of cake, "What sort of books do you read? Are these ones in particular for fun or for work?"

[diehard_daniel]

"I read a lot for work," said Daniel.

[l_is_ryuzaki]

"Again, I supose that information is classified."

L took another huge bite of cake.

"Doctor, I have a random question for you. The name "Kira" would't happen to have any particualr meaning to you, would it?"

[diehard_daniel]

"Depends on which cultural context," said Daniel, "And yes it is classified."

[l_is_ryuzaki]

"Hmm ... yes ... I supose it would be. What would one have to do to gain access to this aforementioned classified imformation.?"

[diehard_daniel]

"Depends on weather or not you are from my world, or one like it," said Daniel.

[l_is_ryuzaki]

"Your world ... yes ... I suppose it would be difficult to transmit information across galaxies. What sort of responsibilities does one in your position have?"

[diehard_daniel]

"Has there been a large meteor impact on your planet in the last say 5 years. It would have been somewhere in the Pacific?"

[l_is_ryuzaki]

"A large metor impact somewhere in a pacific?" said L through mouthfuls of cake. "I don't know. Why do you ask?"

[diehard_daniel]

"That is just one of the things that has been used as a cover story," said Daniel.
