AU week -- multipup edition

[ostro_goth]

In the bar today, you find:

• a wind turbine engineer who had recently moonlighted as sea rescue volunteer, now carefully arranging a breakfast for two on a tray;
• a metal musician who walks in from the the door, followed by a grey cat, to sit down by the fireplace, order a craft beer, and start trying out cords on his guitar:
• a vampire in a long black coat, shielding himself from the sunlight by standing calmly in a dark corner;
• a biker in full leathers and cut-off vest, leaning against the bar with a beer and listening to the music;
• a dark-haired woman in ca. 1910 clothes, folding suffragette pamphlets at a table right next to the window, the sun warm on her hands;
• an FBI consultant who steps in from a hot and humid place that stinks of stagnant waters, and sighs with relief upon seeing Milliways.

They are all basically friendly and approachable people, even though you might want to be wary with the vampire.



[[OOC: Teja and Count are alive and don't live in Milliways; Hannibal is from this amazing fanfic. Please say in your tag whom you want, or you might get whoever is just logged in.]]

"Either eight or nine I guess."

[ostro_goth]

"And has she tried playing an instrument before?"

[coral_sandhu]

"I'm not sure. She doesn't say much."

[ostro_goth]

"When she touches a guitar, what does she do?"

[coral_sandhu]

"I don't know yet, I haven't tried her."

[ostro_goth]

"Then you need find out before you make more plans," Teja says. "Perhaps she won't find music all that interesting."

[coral_sandhu]

"Well that's the idea, I'm trying to work out what makes her tick." Coral says.

[ostro_goth]

"I take it she doesn't speak?"

[coral_sandhu]

Coral nods.

"Nobody knows why. She just started at our school. She hasn't talked for two years."

[ostro_goth]

"Well, perhaps she just doesn't feel like it," Teja nods.

[coral_sandhu]

"Maybe." Coral says.

"I guess she doesn't have to if she doesn't want to."

[ostro_goth]

"No," Teja agrees. "She doesn't have to do anything, as she seems clearly inclined to deal with the consequences."
