Tony has his journal and a pen. The bar has refused to give him any paper. It's okay. He'll improvise. He tears one empty journal page out and flips it over to a blank side. He begins to write.

You can bother him if you want.

Elaine drops by the bar and notices Tony, whom she has not seen for a while. "Good day, Tony...how are you faring today?"

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Elaine. I'm...how are you?"

[maid-of-astolat.livejournal.com]

"I am...well, I have been better. Never mind that. What have you been doing lately? I have not seen you in some time."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"I haven't been doing much of anything." He shoves the peice of paper inside his journal and hides it under the table.

[maid-of-astolat.livejournal.com]

Elaine isn't stupid, but decides to ignore that. Probably a bad idea, but...

"I take it you are not terribly happy, then. I am sorry about that."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

"What have you been doing? Have you spoken to the others?"

[maid-of-astolat.livejournal.com]

"I have spoken to just about all of the people from your time this week, though I've yet to make the acquaintance of a person named Chase. Oh, Ryan's daughter Christine came into the bar the other night. She seems quite a nice person, though I have not seen her since."

Elaine chews her lip. "I can see the door now," she says quietly.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

Tony really doesn't know the significance of that. "Does that mean you can leave?" he guesses.

[maid-of-astolat.livejournal.com]

"Yes. But I...do not want to. I did open the door. There was...nothing there."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"Nothing?" He can't understand why anyone wouldn't want to leave the bar...

[maid-of-astolat.livejournal.com]

She nods. "Blackness. There was nothing there. It was just a...void."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"Oh." He looks back down again, not sure what to say.

[maid-of-astolat.livejournal.com]

Elaine shrugs. "I suppose I shall have to speak to Death about this. But I am putting it off. I just do not want to face it."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

He nods.

Elaine remains silent as well. The fear is eating her alive, and it's hard to carry on cheerful banter around that.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, Tony's so choc full of angst that he can't really help Elaine out in that regard. Pity.

[maid-of-astolat.livejournal.com]

After a few moments, Elaine gives Tony a sort of side-hug. "I am sorry I am not such good company. I think...I think I need some air."

And with that, she leaves Tony to his writing and heads outside.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

Tony frowns, not really feeling the hug, takes out his journal and resumes writing.

Upon returning, Sara glances around the bar in search of people she knowws. She frowns when she spots Tony. He looks like hell.

She walks up to him. "Hey...what's wrong?"

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

He looks up and sees Sara, and shakes his head. "Nothing you need to know about."

[lvpd_sidle]

ooc: Not a problem! :)

She looks concerned, but decides to err on the side of caution. "If you say so. But if you need a friendly ear..."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"It's okay. What have you been up to?"

Tony inwardly reels. Is he starting another friendship?
