*glances up at her approach*

New here, I take it?

*pauses in her walk to the bar*

Yes, you might say that. Could you tell me where I am?

It's Milliways, the restaurant at the end of the universe. *points to universe destruction viewing window*

So where and when are you from?

Ending? *wry smile* Hm, I think I knew that a long time ago.

*thinks, making sure this isn't the matrix*
I'm from a ship, and we don't know when.

Who're you?

Snow White. I'm from New York City, 2004.

*if she's not revealing details, no reason Snow should*

OOC: Sorry, but did you tell me that IC or no?

[OOC: Aside from the thoughts, it was IC.]

*A bored-looking white cat brushes up against Trinity's ankle, demanding to be petted.*

*bends down to rub the cat's head for a brief moment but doesn't seem to have time for much else*

*The cat walks off stiffly, irritated at being snubbed.*

*looks wistfully after the cat for a moment, thinking about how long it's been since she's had a cat in her lap*

*A bored-looking white cat brushes up against Trinity's ankle, demanding to be petted.*

*thinking* Some mixed signals from this one. She doesn't pet me, but looks like she wants to. Better try again...

[ooc: *chokesplutterlaugh* Don't try telling me that wasn't on purpose, because I so won't believe you.]
[("How much like it? Was it the same cat?")]

[OOC: Stuffed this up the first time. Ahem:

"Was it the same cat?"]

[ooc: Jinx.]

(ooc:*whistles innocently*)

*As I'm now near the table I've chosen, I pick the cat up and carry it with me the short distance to the seat. I set it in my lap and absentmindedly run my fingers through its fur, all the while my brain screaming Is this the matrix (http://www.livejournal.com/community/milliways_bar/909989.html?thread=31880101#t31880101)??*

*The cat purrs appreciatively at the petting.*

Behind the right ear, if you would. It itches.

*Um. It talked.*

Okay. *scratches behind the cat's right ear*

Uh, I'm Trinity.

*closing his bright green eyes as Trinity scratches*

I am Yrael.

So uh, why're you here?

I have made this my home. I no longer wished to be bound to the world in which I existed. When I gained my freedom, I came here. It is my home now.

*he stands* Excuse me, I need to stretch. *he leaps off her lap, as he does so his form seems to stretch and become liquid. Where the cat stood now stands a pale young man all in white. He rolls his shoulders, stretching.*

*he looks at her, smirking* Sorry. Laying down too long leads to the need to stretch.

*slightly surprised but beginning to adapt to her surroundings* No apology needed.

You live in a bar? Where do you sleep? Don't you ever want to - can we go outside, here? Do you get bored?

*is slightly amused at the way (http://www.livejournal.com/community/milliways_bar/910713.html?thread=31909497#t31909497) her thoughts have been going as of late. Her most recent one involves what she would have been doing if he'd been in this human form instead of the cat one*

*Hm, I wonder if I can get a computer from the bar. Heh.*

*he smirks* I have a place in the back corridor to sleep. If you want to go outside, there is some land with a lake and some trees out the back door. Be careful of the Giant Squid. It is considered friendly to those who it recognizes, but as you are new here, you should be careful.

*he give her a half-bow, his white hair flopping into his eyes* A drink for you, Trinity?

A. Squid.

A squid?

*is no longer feeling any sort of adaptation. At all.*

Yes, I think I'll have that drink after all. I don't know what the bar offers but I'm going to need something strong.

*mutters as she rises* A squid.

*hopes Yrael will acompany her to the bar and, at some point, maybe, maybe sometime, to see the squid*

*gestures* Shall we?

*he nods, smirking* Yes. A squid. Giant squid. Really big. You know calimari? Okay. Glad we got that across.

*he accompanies her to the bar, then leans on it casually* What would you like? They serve everything here.

Bar, an Atomic Cat for me, please. And whatever Trinity will have, on my tab.

I'll have a *asks for something that, while not impairing a human-type completely, would give one a substantial feeling that everything is alrightfineanddandy, albeit slightly spinny*, please.

[OOC: I don't drink at all and so while I know what she wants I don't know what that would be.]

*Trinity then turns to face Yrael. She looks deep into his eyes - the first time she's really looked at someone since she's gotten here and says* Thanks.

*he nods slightly, meeting her gaze and smiling* You are quite welcome, Trinity.

*he looks at her drink* Ah, the Atlantean. Good choice. It is quite a fine white wine, though very potent. A smooth taste every time.

((ooc: I don't drink either. Underage, really. But the internet is a wonderful thing. *coughs* http://drinks.glowport.com/alph.html For those of us who don't really know what they're ordering. It is true, information is always free. I'm going to have to go pretty soon....))

[OOC: Thanks for the link. I'll say bye now ooc and if you want to finish up IC that'd be cool.. :)]

Mm. Potent...

*Trinity drains the glass as quickly as she can and says*

You know where there's a computer around here I can use? Maybe a portable one to borrow? I need to make some notes --

*she ends abruptly. She is unsure why, exactly, she wants a computer. She doesn't use them in the matrix, really.... Heh, glorified word-processer if nothing else, she supposes*

I am sorry, I do not know of computers. I can tell you that the bar will usually supply whatever you ask for, though it sometimes has a sense of humor about it. A man asked for a gun a while back and got one made of chocolate.

I shall have to bid you good night, Trinity. It was a pleasure meeting you.

*He gives her another half-bow, looking up at her with his smirking green eyes, before leaving.*

*nods*

Good night, and thank you.

[ooc: Duuuuuuuuuuude, I -so- fangirl. I was -just- telling my roommate we needed some matrix people in the bar.]

*Val wanders over with a smile on her face*

Hi there, can I get you anything or help you with something?

Hi, yes, I'd just like to know where I am. The universe is supposed to be ending, I've heard. I'd like to end my confusion before then.

*Val chuckles a bit*

Well, that seems to be the popular question from new people here. Welcome to Milliways bar, the restauraunt at the end of the universe.

*she gestures over to the universe-destruction windows*

Yes, the universe is ending out there, but we're not in any danger. It's a good long time before it even touches Milliways.

We don't really know why the Bar decides to bring some people here, but it does. So, have a seat, have a drink, and enjoy the company. You can get about anything you want, just ask either the bar, the barman, or me.

*looks towards the windows with more attention this time* Thanks. I think I'll pass on the drinks but I probably have more questions....

I'm Trinity. *nods*

*thinks a bit about the "more questions" she might have and decides to go through them now*

So the... bar. It brought me here. How do I get back?

*Val smiles back, kindly*

I'm Valentine Wiggin. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Well, most people can just go out the front door and they're back in their worlds. Unfortunately, there are people like my brothers and I who are Bound here. We can't leave until we figure out something, or do something that the Bar wants us to do.

*She shrugs*

It's annoying at first, but you get used to the odd people here.

[OOC: So sorry for the delay. My laptop decided to boof for a moment or three.]

Pleasure.

*Odd people? Hm, maybe I can get to know certain..... maybe they'll.... ( !! )Is the One in here?*

When you leave, you go back to your world? So this isn't... *looks out the window once more, thinking that obviously this isn't *her* world* ...is this a world? What world? And what happens when you leave?

*Val can't help but chuckle for a moment.*

Well, it is a world in the sense that there are people here, and there seem to be people native to this... area. As to exactly what it's called, as far as I know, it's just -Milliways-. I've actualyl been trying to talk to people and understand for myself what it is around here. Well, from what I've heard, most people return to the moment they left their worlds. Some remember what happened, some don't. There are some that can come and go, and some who only come once.

*She shrugs*

I guess the main thing around here is that everyone and every situation is different.

Well. *talks partly to Val but partly to herself* If I return when I got jacked in and might not get to come here again, I guess I'll be staying for a while.

I'm going to... *gestures to one of the more secluded tables*

Thanks for your help.

*Val nods and smiles at her*

Not a problem. If you need anything else, please feel free to catch me. I'm always around somewhere in the bar.

[OOC: Oh, and to make text small... put small in the little arrow tags. I'd try to do it, but it would turn it into the tag itself. :P]

[OOC: Ah.... I was trying to do mix the font tag and the small tag. Thanks. :-)]

[OOC: Not a problem. Information is always free... ICly and OOCly. :)]

[OOC: w00t!]

[ooc: Squee! Trinity! *fangirls*]

Shipwreck watches the newcomer appreciatively. That's one tight pair of pants. He tips his sailor's cap at her and smiles as she passes.

That's one tough dame. Definitely a fighter.

*Trinity raises her eyebrows at the man as she walks by, letting the tiniest hint of a smile cross her lips. Not her type, but she'd never minded getting noticed.*

Shipwreck watches her pass and grins. Hot damn, was this a great bar or what?!
