Millitimed to after ooms

Preston Opened and closed the door to his bathroom-coming face to face with Milliways once again.
Good to feel like one belongs somewhere.

In an attempt to assuage the guilt of physically harming one of his now-closest friends he's got a book. It's "A christmas Carol" and he's looking for a few specific people to ask questions on about it, but he's open for conversation. Certain pages have been marked with yellow stickies.

He also has a few generic books, their titles so worn and faded that even he doesn't know what they are.


Mun is absolutely terrified that the scenes from "National Lampoons a Christmas Vacation" will repeat themselves directly across from her house so please oh please tag at will!

"Senti...mental value." Preston turns the word slowly in his mouth, "What is that's signifigance?"

"You've never kept something just because it reminds you of something good that's happened in the past?"

He shakes his head.

"I'm sorry, I haven't even introduced myself yet. Arthur Dent."

Preston smiles, "John Preston."

No titles yet.

"...I have things that I was told to keep." He doesn't consider his state's wedding gift something sentimental-but it's all he has of his wife, "The sword I was given upon graduation of course but...never anything that I chose."

A frown.

"That's a shame."

The towel's the only thing Arthur has left of his home planet. Or at least it was, some time ago.

"If you don't mind my asking, where are you from?"

[fathers-cleric.livejournal.com]

Preston hesitates.

Such a loaded question!

"...Earth." He says, "...2145."

That was the year last time he checked right?

[ooc: Might have to slowtime or fade soon. I am le tired.]

"Must be a different universe," he remarks conversationally. "That's about 150 years after my time."

Yes Preston.

"You're a Pre-Librian."
Like Ray.

Preston's smile warms more, then he looks at him, "Mr. Dent right?"

[thelastearthman.livejournal.com]

He nods, with a smile of his own.

"No one's called me that for years now. Call me Arthur."
