As entrances to Milliways go, this is one of the more unprepossessing. A man stumbles through the door in slacks and T-shirt (a particular brand of underwear showing above his waistband); despite the fairly well-groomed hair and care with his appearance, he still seems a little crumpled and ungainly. The door swings near someone, and he instantly apologises before standing almost straight and looking around.

(Interesting.)

 

'...oh. Um.

...oh.'

Well, this is new. Jim likes new. 


[OOC: Note on playing with Jim here. If more than one person tags, could we please only have one intro thread? Anything after the first will find him either sitting a little nervously at the bar, or gazing in wonder out of the observation window. Thanks! :D]

He laughs nervously, then stops when it seems she's not joking.

'Oh.'

Well. That's only the best news he's ever heard.

'Which one of them are you, then?'

[is_the_motion]

"None, I fix things." Bonnie says. "And drink big hairy men under the table."

[just_cant_lose]

His eyebrows go up in surprise and he laughs again, unsure as to whether she's joking.

'Um. Really?'

She doesn't look like she could drink anyone under the table. She's very small.

At least, that's the impression he gives.

"Damn straight. I'd offer to try it, but you said you came from work."

[just_cant_lose]

'...yeah, it probably wouldn't go down too well if I came back drunk to the middle of a work day.'

Though hey, there's no reason for him to work there any more now.

'Speaking of which, I should really get back to it. Don't want too many awkward questions about why I took a four-hour lunch.'

[is_the_motion]

"Time's stopped out there, you're fine."

[just_cant_lose]

'...sorry, it's what?'

[is_the_motion]

"When you go out it'll be the same moment as when you came in."

[just_cant_lose]

Oh good God, is it Christmas?

Judging by the look of the place, possibly. Jim can do nothing but smile.

'You're serious?'

[is_the_motion]

"Yep. Handy huh?"

[just_cant_lose]

'I'll say.'

Everyone would say. His brain explodes with ways he could use this particular gift - it would depend on how reliably he'd be able to get back in here, or whether the door is random. It'd be cheating to use this bar with things at home...but not cheating to use it for things here, and that's a whole different level of possibilities.

'All the same, turning up with a hangover wouldn't look good. And I'm kind of in the middle of something at home anyway, so I should get back to it.'

Sherlock's only on the first of the tests. It promises to be an interesting few days in London.

Bonnie nods.

"Well nice to meet you, Jim."

[just_cant_lose]

'You too, Bonnie.'

This is actually true. How often to you get to meet a character out of a movie? So his smile is nice enough as he gets up to leave.

'If I ever get to come back, I'll get you a drink or something. See ya.'
