Happy Father's Day.
Impromptu old lady behind the bar.
Happy Father's Day, Milliways!
All dads drink half off.
It would be free, but well...someone's got to charge something around here, after all.
[ooc: open until probably after True Blood.]

"A couple people, yeah. If I can work up the nerve, I can ask the person doing it now, but she's... kind of intimidating, a little. Or a lot."
But in all honesty, now that Joshua's part of the picture, she'd go to him first. What he doesn't know, he can find out easily, and he's not as... wired for need-to-know as Artie is.

Spoken like a woman who has never been subordinate to another woman in her life post-adolescence.

Claudia sighs again. "In any case, I think I have a while to get my head around the idea now, and figure out if I actually want to take it or or tell 'em screw that, find someone else. Unless there's another Warehouse they had to ditch in a hurry hanging around out there, but I did that archive-scour the other day and didn't find anything."

Wait, did we say she was smiling? NOT ANYMORE.
"This might be one way to give the family history of Alzheimer's the slip, but... I didn't do so well with losing everyone I cared about the first time around. Not looking forward to a repeat performance, even if it won't be everyone."

"...You are a lady full o' stories, I'm gatherin'."

"My brother teleported himself into an interdimensional space when I was ten. Took me a while, and kidnapping a federal agent, but I got him out."
And that's her reaction when she knows someone can be saved.

Sallie changes tack slightly: "Your brother come here at all?"

She can't see Joshua not taking advantage of that, once he's around the Warehouse more often.
"Really, the bigger problem with the teleportation is that he got rushed into it and didn't know it was a two-step process."

She likes her brother in the same dimension, kthx.
"Do I want to know why you're asking?"

"If it were possible, I'd imagine it'd be really damn risky. Like, possibility of leaving body parts behind risky." She does know a thing or two about teleportation theory herself - not nearly as much as Joshua, but she did have all his books for twelve years.

Beat.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding."

"Thanks, though. First laugh I've had while sober in a week."
(Building-download stuff aside, this past one was a mother.)

You can't really see it, but Sallie's curtsy she gives is pretty on-point.

It's... still going to take her a while to get her head around the idea any more coherently than 'adda wibba whatta BUILDING.' But at least she has a few more data points to consider.
no subject
A couple more customers are coming up to the bar, now, and "I need to head off. You shiny?"

To the question, Claudia raises her bottle to Sallie. "I'm good."
(OOC: :D :D :D Thank you! I have literally had this thread in mind for a long time now; so glad the opportunity arose.)
