OOM: Pre-Milliways

Todd stumbled in, and nearly dropped his books in shock. Since when was his dorm room a bar? This made no sense, they didn't allow liquor at Welton. He turned around, wondering where he was.

A place to truly live deep and suck all the marrow out of life.

Milliways.

He then spied a familiar face, also looking confused.

Helen smiles, still, comfortingly. "Nice to meet you, Todd. I'm from Sparta, Greece. Many years in your past. Can I get you a drink? Food? I can get you anything you want..."

Todd stared again, and his eyes boggled at this information. A beautiful woman, who claimed to be from Greece, in the past.

He blinked, and finally stammered, "Aren't you dead?" Was this the afterlife? He didn't remember dying. Hey, wait, if it is, maybe Neil's around?

Be careful with the poor boy, he's been in for some bad shocks in his life recently.

"Actually, I'm not. Time works differently here." Helen keeps a comforting smile. Her kitten peeks up over the basket rim. Helen smiles warmly. "Todd, this place is really easy to deal with, but you just sort of have to accept it. I know it seems odd at first. Just don't get in fights and you'll be fine. Now, can I get you a drink or something? You look like you need it."

Todd nodded slowly, he needed a drink, a seat, or maybe a bed to crash on.

"Uh, some Scotch, I guess?" Anything non-alcoholic wasn't going to cut it the way he was feeling. Even though he didn't really like to drink.

"Scotch, please," Helen says to the bar. A scotch pops up, and Helen hands it to Todd. "Have a seat." She pats the barstool next to her.

Whump! Todd sank into the barstool, and took the Scotch, even though his hand was shaking a little. He took a slow sip of the amber liquid, and coughed a little as it burned his throat. He set the glass down on the bar.

Helen smiles warmly at him and points towads a wall. "Do you see a door there?"

(Ooc--Just in case you don't know--No door means that Todd is bound to the Bar and can't leave, though a door that he sees could open to his world, ot just to blackness, another sign of being bound.)

(ooc: oh, I thought the door's not there for the dead, and just locked for the living Bound. Usually how I play it. Didn't know the door opens to the void option for Bound. Thxs for clearing that up.)

Todd turned around, and blinked. He looked around, staring, "Uh. No? Should it be there?" Maybe it was somewhere else, though he thought he came that way.

(Ooc--I think there are many ways of playing it:-)

Helen nods, knowingly. "Alright. Todd, that means you are bound to the bar. You can't leave, though you may become unbound at some point. This means that you need a place to stay. I can get you a room if you want. The bar will provide clothes for you." She takes a deep breath. "The bar," she taps the actual piece of furniture, "is sentient. If you ask her for something, she'll give it to you. Anything."

Todd stared at the bar. "It's sentient? Does it talk?"

The rest catches up with him, "wait, I'm what? I can't leave?" He started to get upset at that, but then stopped. What was the point? His parents barely knew him, Mr. Keating's fired, Neil's dead. There's nothing there for him.

He straightened a little, and said respectfully, "A room, that would be good. Thank you, ma'am."

"No," Helen smiles "It doesnt speak. But it does give you anything you ask for. Like this." She speaks to the bar. "Can I get a room key for Todd Anderson, please?" A small, silver key appears on the bar. Helen hands it to Todd. "There you go. The number on the key is your room number."

Todd took the key, and stared at the numbers stamped there. Well, not like he was used to residing in different rooms, and he was glad not to go back to his room at school. It was too empty with Neil gone.

"Thank you."

Helen smiles. "No problem. Just follow the signs upstairs. Do you need anything else at the moment?"

Todd shook his head, "N-no, I'm fine, ma'am. Thank you for your help."
