It's been a... pretty crazy month.

For anyone who needs to decompress, there is a circle of chairs, a big selection of hot chocolate and other drinks, with marshmallows and chocolate flakes. There's cake and biscuits too, for those who fancy a snack.

"Thanks. People have done the same for me so it balances out." Guppy sips his chocolate.

"Some people swear by taking a bottle cap or something from here out there, but for others it's totally random. It does tend to pick people up in a crisis though. You're doing well for your first time here, welcome to Milliways."

"Thanks. Got the pamphlet and the talk from a couple of security members. Plus there's at least one video game on my world that deals with a similar concept." Heroes of the Storm just has characters from Blizzard games in it, though.

He shrugs. "Multiverse isn't that unusual if you're into fiction."

He'll have to try grabbing a cap or coaster or something. Being able to come here whenever he needs to could be damn useful.

Guppy laughs. "Then you're in a better position than I was. I was woefully behind on my fiction. Speaking of which, if you bump into anyone who in your world is fictional, it's generally good manners not to tell them."

He grins a little wryly as Guppy confirms that for him.

"I was having suspicions, but yeah, I can keep those to myself." He shakes his head amused acceptance. "Course, could still be just some dream. Be the easier explanation."

Not that he thinks it is but he's a big fan of Occam's Razor. Dream seems more likely than superheros, magic, and the Force being a thing.

Guppy laughs. "You know, some people don't believe it for weeks."

Gabriel shrugs again. "No harm in enjoying it, real or not. Plus I can get things I can't get at home right now." He raises his coca mug to demostrate.

"Where is home for you?" Guppy asks.

"Kansas," he answers, making a face.

"But I'm from L.A." He pauses. "On Earth."

It feels really weird to add that.

"Holby, England. You should catch up with Bonnie, she's from LA." Guppy says.

"Hopefully not my L.A.," he says grimly, his face growing dark. "Got a robot apocalypse on our hands at the moment." It's only a slight exaggeration, especially if things keep going the way they have.

"What's she look like?"

"Oh no, nothing like that. They only just invented the washing machine. She's petite, short hair, usually wears overalls." Guppy says.

"Seriously? That must've been like 200 years ago." He has no idea when washing machines were invented but the 1840s doesn't seem like too bad a guess. Still, that's not going to be an L.A. he knows.

"I might have got the tech wrong: I think she's from the fifties."

"Oh, well, that's only a hundred years ago," Gabe says dryly. Then he laughs. "Jeez, this place."

Guppy laughs.

"Welcome to Milliways."
