> Rose: Enter.

[seeswithhereyes]

The door opens very firmly - one might even go so far as to say that it slams open. This is likely due to the fact that on the other side of the door is a black-clad young lady wielding a wand with a rather commanding gesture.

A moment after the door slams open, her eyes widen slightly in surprise, and moment later, she floats through, landing just on this side of the door. An almost absent gesture behind her sends the door slamming shut again.

"I was not expecting this." The words are spoken absently, more to herself than to any other being that might happen to be listening, though of course, any who are are welcome to answer.

If, however, no answer is immediately forthcoming, Rose Lalonde will begin a thorough investigation of her new environs.

Comments

Because the MM thread was awesome and Thirteen has a soft spot for kids...

Remy: Greet the Flighty Broad.

The door slams open, and Thirteen's attention is drawn away from the comic book in front of her. Sneakered feet are removed from the table top, and the woman straightens in her seat before replying to the absent words.

"I doubt anyone ever does expect this place. It's like the Spanish Inquision in that sense."

:D

[seeswithhereyes]

Rose turns to face the source of the voice, expecting... Well. Anything but another human, quite frankly.

"You are... Are you human?"

She. Has to know. This is impossible, and yet.

<3!

[numbered_doctor]

"Last time I checked,," she responds dryly. "Usually am, unless it's April Fool's or Cubefall."

The pauses, looking over the girl and her stunned expression.

"First time here?"

[seeswithhereyes]

To her credit, Rose manages to regain most of her composure.

"Is it that obvious?" she asks.

[numbered_doctor]

"Yes," she says simply, kicking out the other chair from beneath the table and gesturing her towards it. "But don't worry, everyone who comes in for the first time generally has an air of befuddlement around them."

[seeswithhereyes]

"At least it is not just me."

Rose considers it a moment before stepping closer, settling crosslegged in the chair.

"So what is this place?" she asks. Worry about how she is speaking with another human later.

[numbered_doctor]

"It's called Milliways," she explains, once Rose is seated, and Remy is leaning back in her chair again. "It's a hub of sorts, where all of the Multiverses intersect."

[seeswithhereyes]

"Really."

Oh now that is interesting. Very interesting. And--

"Multiverses? So there are humans in other universes then?"

[numbered_doctor]

"Really," she confirms, arching a brow curiously at the question. "Why wouldn't there be?"

[seeswithhereyes]

"I am not sure," Rose admits. "But I do not see any reason why there should be in the first place. Not that that bothers me," she adds.

[numbered_doctor]

Thirteen shrugs.

"Mind you, humans aren't the only species to frequent the bar, either, all sorts pass through here."

[seeswithhereyes]

"Like what?"

Naturally, her first thought is of the trolls.

[numbered_doctor]

"Well, Gods for one, superheroes, vampires, I've even seen a squid...thing tending the Bar for a shift."

Sadly, she has not met any trolls. Sorry Rose.

[seeswithhereyes]

"I guess the multiverse is even stranger than I thought. I am Rose," she offers after a moment.

[numbered_doctor]

"Remy," she says, offering a hand to the girl. "Or Thirteen. I answer to both."

Other such nicknames include Thirty-One and Lesbian, but the narration will disregard those for now.

"Nice to meet you, Rose."

[seeswithhereyes]

"You as well," she replies.

That is about when a flash of light catches her eye, and she turns her head to see the Window.

O____O

[numbered_doctor]

"What's wro-" she turns to see what's caused the girl's eyes to widen like that, and for her to pale. Really, it could be any number of things in a place like this, but she has a sneaking suspicion as to what it is. "Ah, yes."

Shit.

She can't even give the kid any booze to help with the shock, either.

"Welcome to the end of the Multiverse?"

Beat.

"You're safe, don't worry."

[seeswithhereyes]

"...What?" she manages after a minute. That is just.

It is.

WHAT.

[numbered_doctor]

"It's alright," she says, continuing her reassurance as she motions subtly for one of the waitrats to bring some tea for her and Rose.

"It loops. At least, I think it loops. Could just be showing a different universe each time"

[seeswithhereyes]

"It is very impressive."

Her Universe. That is happening to her Universe, right now, and to the trolls' Universe, and who knows how many others.

[numbered_doctor]

"It is," Thirteen agrees. "And a little unnerving, I know."

Beat.

"But you'll get used to it, along with most of the other craziness that goes on here."

[seeswithhereyes]

Rose shakes her head, and very deliberately looks away.

"I doubt that I will have the time," she replies. Because while it is nice to know that humanity continues on, one way or another, she has friends to save.

[numbered_doctor]

The girl's reaction draws a concerned look from the young doctor, but she continues her explanation nonetheless.

"That's the wonder of Milliways, Rose, you have all the time in the multiverse while here. You can stay in here for days, and once you leave through your door, no time will have passed at all, in your world."

[seeswithhereyes]

O__O

"Are you serious?!"

Why has no-one told her of this place before? Hell, why has no-one told Dave? Unless Dave already knows, and has not told her... But she doubts that that would be the case; in their current situation, she plans to contact everyone that she can.

[numbered_doctor]

"I'm completely serious," she says. "I tend to use the time bendyness here when work's being particularly draining, or if I have a shift at some odd hour of the morning."
