*Don's still in the bar - he never really left. His clothes are a bit rumpled, and he still has that awed look on his face, but he's currently shuffling around the floor, tapping out patterns that can't quite be heard, since he's wearing every day shoes.*

Lilly smiles at the guy shuffling around the bar.

"What up, sai? What exactly are you trying to do there, break in your shoes? Because you could just scuff the bottoms and you'd be fine."

[always-dignity.livejournal.com]

Oh! Do you know Sai as well, then? A young woman was talking about him last night. Or her, I suppose. One doesn't want to make presumptions.

*he laughs*

Dancing, why, I'm dancing.

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly giggles.

"Sai's a word for... well, I don't know really. Hasn't stopped me from using it, though. I think it means sir or madam or dude or something. Also, nice moves. You a professional dancer?"

[always-dignity.livejournal.com]

*The information about Sai seems to go over his head as he focuses in on the second part of what she said.*

Why, yes, I am! Well, and a musician and an actor, as well. *he bows his head slightly* You may have seen some of my films. I don't normally sign autographs, but it's possible you could persuade me.

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly wrinkles her nose.

"I've seen a lot of movies, kinda as the side-effect of dating an actor's son, but I don't recognize you at all. What's your name? What have you been in?"

[always-dignity.livejournal.com]

Don Lockwood.

*he takes another slight bow*

Have you not heard of Lockwood and Lamont? We're due to have a talking picture out soon.

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly is trying to decide if this guy is delusional, from another universe, or just a bit gay. She settles on all three.

"Yeah... sorry, never heard of you or Lamont and talking pictures have been around for a while in my world. I'm Lilly, by the way. DeadNeptuneCaliforniaEarth2005."

*He tilts his head a bit to the side. He can't decide if this girl is on drugs, or just a ballerina*

I don't think I've heard of Deadneptune. Is it near Los Angeles?

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly laughs.

"Neptune, actually, and it's not far. It's not dead, either. I am. So are lots of people around here. You must be new."

[always-dignity.livejournal.com]

Ah, Neptune. No, I still haven't heard of it. Just arrived last night. Can you really tell?

[awesome_lilly]

"Kinda, yeah."

Lilly smiles.

"Did you get everything explained to you already? Rules, regulations, and suggestions on how to have a good time?"

[always-dignity.livejournal.com]

Rules and regulations? Aside from the normal expected behavior in a bar? No, nobody's explained anything to me, aside from a very pale man with a fiddle telling me that we're at the end of the universe. Is that true?

[awesome_lilly]

"Oh yeah," Lilly says cheerfully.

"This is Milliways, the Bar at the End of the Universe. We get people from all over the universes and in all states - alive, dead, or other. Mostly what you need to know is no violence in the bar, no sex in the bar, and beware the pale and pretty, they can kill you with their minds. Fiddle dude sounds like an example of that, actually."

Gavroche is watching him with interest.

[always-dignity.livejournal.com]

*Don shuffles his way over to the small man*

Hello, there!

[street-sparrow.livejournal.com]

Gavroche grins at him. "Hi!"

[always-dignity.livejournal.com]

Well, how are you, little man? I'm new here. Are you - alive, dead, or ... other?

[street-sparrow.livejournal.com]

"Dead", Gavroche announces cheerfully. "I'm Gavroche."

[always-dignity.livejournal.com]

*He holds out his hand*

Well, Gavroche, I am Don. And you have the honor of being my first Dead Person.

[street-sparrow.livejournal.com]

Gavroche shakes his hand, grinning. "Really? There's lots of us here."

[always-dignity.livejournal.com]

Really. I only just showed up last night, and between you and me, I'm still not entirely sure this isn't all a hoax.

[street-sparrow.livejournal.com]

Gavroche blinks. "By who?"

[always-dignity.livejournal.com]

By whom. And I'm not sure.

[street-sparrow.livejournal.com]

"It'd be a lot of work for a joke", Gavroche says dubiously.

[always-dignity.livejournal.com]

I suppose. Though some people are willing to go to great lengths for silly things. You know I'm working on a talking picture right now? Talking! Imagine that. Seems silly to me, but it's still quite a lot of work.
