Random's in the bar.

He's looking a lot calmer, drinking his typical Scotch.

And he's reading Tarot. Apparently without any major portents of doom.

Woo bloody hoo.

He concentrates.

"He's called Q. His female body is introduced as 'Avonna' or something like that.
He's seeking to understand humanity, but is going to fail as he's going about it by watching their stupidity. He enjoys targetting one individual and making their life miserable. Setting matches underneath them to see how high they'll jump and the like.
He's omnipotent, no particular time, and he hasn't heard of Amber. He comes from something called 'The Q Continuum' the leaders of which he does not have exceedingly smooth relationships with."

He struggles to remember more.

"That's all I can think of, for now."

Raven raises an eyebrow.

"That is not the way to understand humanity, no."

Raven should know, really.

Random nods.

"That's what I told him. Actually, I think it went something more along the lines of 'Go read Shakespeare. Then you'll get it.' But all the same."

He grins.

"His biggest weakness lies in his ego."

Raven grins.

"It is ever so, I think."

"Yes. It is. How did you get involved, may I ask?"

He slides the cards into his pocket.

"I was referred to Lt. Naraht, and I had speech with Ray, in addition to yourself."

Raven smiles.

"In essence, someone asked me."

He nods.

"I thought that might be the case. You're a very trustworthy person, it seems. Were you able to help him regain his shape?"

"No. I had not seen what he was before, and I did not want to risk changing things that were better left alone. So."

He nods.

"Makes sense, of course. That can be dangerous."

"Replace can be with 'is always', and you are closer to the mark."

He smiles.

"Knowing when not to interfere is a useful skill, as well."

Random winces.

"Of course. And too many cooks and whatnot."

"Too many cooks usually end up killing each other, yes."

Random bursts into laughter.

"That's not the idiom I had in mind, but I believe you."

"If you live long enough, and you like people enough, you will see everything many many different times."

He nods.

"I'm starting to find that, yeah. Milliways, though, has been enough of a break to throw me more than a few curve balls."

"That may, perhaps, be its purpose."

He blinks, considering this.

"Well, I know someone here has a loopy sense of humor, what with people being bound, and finding the door in completely rediculous places."

"I like this place very well."

Raven grins.

Random grins back.

"People and colours? Was that what you said? When I asked you to tell me about yourself? Well, certainly Milliways has both of those."

"Chaos, too, some times."

He sighs.

"When you have a room full of people and colours, you're bound to end up with at least a little chaos."

"Very true."

He nods.

"So what are you planning to do with Q?"

Raven shrugs.

"My plans depend on whether or not I can stop him from working his power here. I feel, too, it may be wise to check with Security before I do something."

Random nods.

"Of course. But they've seemed rather... ineffective. Something about someone being locked up. I've not heard more than rumors from disgruntled victims."
