Not again...

Pre-Milliways: Virginia is frustrated.

The door actually changed into a mirror before she stumbled through. She looked around, confused, her face clearly twisted into a look that could only be described as "WTF?"

She was used to ending up in strange places.

They weren't usually bars.

"Where's Wendell's attic?" she asked the bar at large.

Virginia looked around. "What is this place? Another kingdom? When did they had another one and why was I not informed?" she asked.

" It's Milliway's....doubt a bare acre of land would count as a Kingdom..."

She shrugs, sipping at her Cosmopolitan, which she might not look old enough to have.

" It's the bar at the end of the Universe. I'm Rory. "

Virginia pressed fingers to her temples. "So there's some other freaky mgaical place in existence now?" She nearly growled in frustration. "How many more of them am I going to stumble into?" She took a deep breath and turned back to Rory. "I'm Virginia. Hi." She paused and tilted her head. "End of the Universe?"

Rory smiles in understanding at the frustration and would order Virginia a drink is she was old enough.

" Yeah, that's what I'm told. And the scenery makes it rather easy to believe..."

She points to the window where there is a clear view of a rather large explosion within an everlasting darkness.

Her jaw fell open and she wandered over in the direction of the window, slowly tilting her head.

"That's...that's the most amazing thing I've ever seen," she said in a low and trembling voice. "It's beautiful."

"What is this place? How did it get here?" she asked.

She looked back and saw that the mirror was gone and that there was a door in its stead. "How did I get here?"

[lorelai-rory.livejournal.com]

" Through that door, and I have no idea....wait, reverse that. I've only been in and out of here, so I haven't learned anything but the basics. Like the Bar, she's sentient and will just about be able to give you anything you want."

She pats the lovely wooden surface with care.

[woolonyourface.livejournal.com]

"The Bar's sentient?" Okay, so every sentence coming out of her mouth was a question, but this was strange. Stranger than even some of the things that had already happened to her.

[lorelai-rory.livejournal.com]

" That's what I've been told...and am inclined to believe...Somebody is Head Bartender though, and I have no idea about anything I'm saying...."

She ponders for a minute.

" Say you want a drink; soda, wine, Jack....you look like you could use the Jack..."

[woolonyourface.livejournal.com]

She nodded, rather frantically, then stopped and bopped herself on the head.
"Can't. Pregnant. I forgot. Soda, please?"

[lorelai-rory.livejournal.com]

" Ahh...good idea then..."

A soda appears on the Bar, which may in fact had appeared before Virginia had said anything...but probably not.

" Ta da!" Rory exclaims with a little flourish.

[woolonyourface.livejournal.com]

"Magic, huh?" Virginia said, a wry, crooked grin twisting up her face. "I've seen better," she informed the bar, taking the soda.

[lorelai-rory.livejournal.com]

The Bar would be affronted, but then again, she's not had the waffles yet.

" You've not had the food here yet, or the coffee...it's the best anywhere. " Rory assures her.

[woolonyourface.livejournal.com]

"That's good to know," Virginia answered. "Athough I don't think I'll be here long enough to find out. I'm trying to find my--" Fiance doesn't seem a strong enough word, but "mate" sounds far too idiotic.

"--my fiance. He...we were going home, through, um, a magic mirror. I came through and he didn't, and I finally got the stupid thing to work..." She looked around the room, rather futilely, as she didn't spot her. Her face fell. "And it doesn't look like he's here." If dissapointment could be tangible Rory could have cut it with a butter knife.

"When I find him, he is dead," Virginia stated.

The annoyance could be cut with that same butter knife.

[lorelai-rory.livejournal.com]

Rory raises an eyebrow and quickly decides that she is glad she isn't this woman's fiance, as he is in a lot of trouble at the moment.

" Well, you never know, he may show up here sooner or later. Things tend to happen like that. My mom started showing up, then me and my best friend. And now apparently, my mom's ex. "

(ooc: Slowtime? Wrap the thread? Have to sleep between "studying" for finals. )

"I think I'm going to keep looking," Virginia said, biting her lip. "Thanks for the soda. Well, for telling me how to get it. And how everything works. And where I am." She nodded. "Right."

And then she started her search.
