Barty's in the bar; he's walked down from his room, this time, instead of apparating. He orders a glass of water and a sandwich - nothing too expensive as he still hasn't managed to get any money - and sits down at a table to eat.

Pretty good actually.

*Tim sips his tea.*

Just got back from my honeymoon.

"Oh? Didn't realise! Congratulations! Did you go anywhere nice?"

*Tim msirks as he takes another sip of tea.*

I created an island for us.

Barty looks impressed. That's magic even he can't do, and he can do quite a lot.

"That sounds lovely. Tropical island with beaches, palm trees, sunshine etc?"

*Tim smiles, thinking back.*

Oh yes. And a volcano and a little lagoon, some amazing trees so we wouldn't want for anything.... Paradise.

"Sounds like it! Can't say I've been out and about much myself. I mean, not to anywhere exciting. Not that the laundry room isn't exciting, it just lacks a bit of charm. Also, no volcanoes."

*Tim shrugs.*

Around this place? you never know. If you get into the dreaming, things might get weird.

"True. But when I get into the dreaming, things are weird no matter what. It's a hazard of being in close proximity to the Dementors too long."

*Tim blinks.*

You've been into the forest then?

Barty blinks back.

"Um. No, I meant the residual effect of the ones back in my world. There are Dementors in the forest?"

*Ti shakes his head.*

No, the dreaming is in the forest. Or through the forest, i have been told.

"Odd. Usually the dreaming would be in the forest only if one was sleeping in the forest. Or perhaps we're talking at cross-purposes here?"

He frowns, confused.

*Tim grins slightly.*

Okay, let me explain a little. There are seven beings that exist in every universe, the embodiments of natural functions. One of these is Dream, who embodies dreaming and creativity. his realm is The Dreaming, where slumbering minds go, and which can be physically reached through our woods out back.

Barty cottons on; he's heard of the Endless.

"Ah yes. Those 'anthropomorphic personification' thingies. My friend -"

...well, former friend, really...

"- Regulus is dating one of them. Desire. Lucky bloke."

*Tim shakes his head.*

poor fellow.

"Au contraire! He seemed to be very happy. I suppose if you're having it off with the physical manifestation of desire, you can't really complain."

I couldn't do it.

*Tim shakes his head.*

Knowing that to them, you're just a flash in the pan....

"Yeah, I suppose there's that. Good point."

"So...if you go through the forest, you go to dream-world or whatever it's called?"

The Dreaming.

*Tim nods.*

Ayup. That is, if the bar lets you.

"The Dreaming. Right. I...think I might give it a miss for now. There's enough weirdness in the bar to last me for the time being."

Plus, no wand.

*Tim absently pulls a length of wood from his pocket, and begins to run his hands over it, smooth it down, removing the bark, making it look nice.*

Dream is not over friendly to visitors.

He watches Tim. He's annoyed. There's a cold look in his eyes.

"Is he. Fascinating. Well, I think I'll be off now. Back to my room."

He gives a cursory nod, and leaves.

[ooc: And also the mun has to leave! bye!]
