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.

So he got to do that part? Joy. Not that he minded, considering that he wasn't too busy around here when he wasn't looking after House.

"It'll be my pleasure to do it, then," he said with a friendly smile.

"Welcome to Milliways, the bar at the end of the universe, where people from all sorts of different worlds and times gather." He gestured to the observation window as well.

And just to move things along, we'll say Todd's done quite a bit of staring at the window in disbelief already, since the poor boy's going through enough stress.

Todd still glanced around in disbelief. That might explain some of the strange people or beings he was seeing around here.

He glanced back, "Different worlds?" 1960, the space race was still in progress, and the Apollo missions were still being planned.

Wilson nodded.

"Some people come from places that have magic. Others, who have technology. Some people look different altogether..." he shrugged his shoulders some. "It's odd, but you get used to it."

Todd slowly nodded, still taking everything in. He didn't have to feel compelled to follow in the family's footsteps here, or deal with his losses.

He did say, "It's uh, amazing."

"It is, isn't it?" At least the boy was willing to accept it all. It was quite a fascinating place, when it came down to it.

"Oh, do you want a drink? The first one is on the house." Which was another part of what he was explaining, wasn't it?

[mumbling-truth.livejournal.com]

Todd nodded, "Yeah."

He then said, "Oh, I'm ok, thanks."

(ooc: not a problem, bouncing between several slowtimed threads as I can. Have a safe journey.)

[wilsons-musings.livejournal.com]

"Okay," Wilson said with a nod of his head.

"There's a few rules here that you need to follow. They're pretty simple, really. No violence, no sex, and no business in the bar. If you want to engage in those activities, you can either do it outside -- " he gestured to the door leading to the lake, "or get a room." Another gesture up the stairs.

Well, Todd had no interest in fighting, and sex? He could barely talk to girls much less even consider *that* idea. Knox probably could with Chris, and Charlie'll probably have a problem with that rule, Todd however? Nope, not at all.
Sheesh, you think innocent and virgin as a boy scout choirboy come to mind here?
The no business one he wasn't completely clear on, but seemed ok.
And a lot easier to deal with than the many rules at institutes like Welton Academy.

"I see, sir. I don't have a problem with any of them."

[wilsons-musings.livejournal.com]

"That's good. I'd hate to see you locked up in the brig," Wilson said with a chuckle. "The security around here doesn't like being messed with." Not that he'd gotten in trouble with them before.

"Also, if you want anything to eat or drink, just ask the bar, if there's no bartender. If you can't pay right away, she'll start a tab for you."

[mumbling-truth.livejournal.com]

Todd nodded, "Thank you for your help, sir. I'm sorry for the confusion before."

[wilsons-musings.livejournal.com]

"It's quite all right. They do say that there's three people in the world that look very much alike." He smiled at Todd, gently patting his back.

[mumbling-truth.livejournal.com]

Todd shrugged, "I guess." He never had heard of that saying, and didn't like the idea there might be other versions of him around.

[wilsons-musings.livejournal.com]

Wilson can't help but feel faternal for the boy. Perhaps it was the sense of innocence that came from the boy. Or how he had teared up in the beginning.

"If you need anything, don't hesitate to find or ask for me, all right? I'm pretty much in the bar or upstairs in my room most of the time."

[mumbling-truth.livejournal.com]

Todd glanced back at him, "I appreciate that. Thank you, sir. Again, pleasure to meet you, sir."

He then got up to walk around a bit, and maybe look out the observation window some more.
