For the first time in a while there's a Michelle in the bar. She's got her laptop open and is looking for ideas.

Be careful, you might just wind up in her article.

But anyway, she's also got chips and salsa and is willing to share.

"Actually, sometimes this place is...better than a person's normal life or the only way they can see certain people."

She considers this for awhile.

"I've never considered that," she says quietly. She thinks about her mother and father. Could she see them here, possibly? Her heart beats a little faster at the idea, but she says nothing, just breathes in a little and sighs.

"Although, I know for certain that Milliways is the only place I'll ever meet a valkyrie or a masterharper or anyone who can do magic." Or so she thinks.

"That's one of the...most amazing things about this place."

She nods, "That's true on my world too."

Cally glances back over at her typewriter and sighs again.

"It's been lovely talking to you--and looking at your impossibly tiny computer--but I'm afraid I should go back to working on my term paper. I need to at least make it through a rough draft." She smiles. "It was nice meeting you, Michelle."

"Nice meeting you too, Cally. Good luck on the paper."
