Mary has no intention of letting her new home overwhelm her. Absolutely not: it's her home now and she is very brave. A very brave queen. But as she's exploring she hears voices in the hallway and just right now she can't bear the thought of another meeting where they talk loudly and slowly into her face and then talk to each other with her right there as if she can't understand--which mostly she can't--and you can hardly tell the lords and ladies from the servants--

So she whisks herself up a narrow stairway and into a storage room and starts poking into the chests and wardrobes and pulling things out to see what's what. Very busily. So she doesn't have any time to be afraid or lonely or anything like that.

Which is how a Pretty Princess comes to Milliways for the first time. Enter a girl of about fifteen, holding a cloak in her arms, looking very very startled.

A grimy, weary, exhausted Elf Lord enters Milliways.

He is younger than he often is. Older than he sometimes is. And he hasn't rested in days.

(They were too late. They all knew it as they raced towards Eregion. They would arrive too late. And they did. )

He just stands there, briefly, looking at the room. And then he makes his way to the couch and sits down.
Heavily.

Rae couldn't get to sleep tonight. She just couldn't seem to get her thoughts to quieten down and let her rest. But this is nothing unusual. When she had nothing to occupy her thoughts, they tended to revert back to worrying about Jay and Autor, worrying about her own situation, and feeling guilty for how long she has hidden away in Milliways, still 'not ready' (read: too scared) to go home and face the meeting with the Executive Director of Special Other Forces.

So, when the wee hours of the morning start becoming a little less wee (around the time Rae would normally get up to go make cinnamon rolls if she were back in her world and not about to risk her entire life and everything she's worked for on the trust and support of a complete stranger), she hauled herself up and out of bed, showered, and came down to the kitchens.

The summer fair is coming up soon, and she has to prepare. She is thinking of focusing on pies this year, as she focused on ice pops last year.

If you stop by the Milliways kitchen this morning, you'll be met with a number of pies cooling on wire cooling racks on some of the counters, more pies in the oven, and Sunshine herself mulling tiredly over a list of pies that have been baked, are in the process of being baked, or are still needing to be baked. Hmmm.

Previously: Brienne of Tarth and Harry Percy asked X-23 about joining Security.

After that conversation, X tests Brienne and Harry by...taking them into the Labyrinth and seeing how they react to fish-toothed obnoxious teenagers, angry trees, and other things. The upshot of this is Brienne and Harry will be part-time Security officers, as a kind of probation. Yay? :D?

[OOM-but-not: In which Hotspur and Brienne track down their quarry, and a conversation is had. Two conversations, actually.]

Just inside the bar door, Alanna sees Carol, or Carol sees Alanna, and the following very serious conversation takes place:

"AHHHHHH!"

"WHAT...?"

"WHAT IS HAPPENING?"

"I'M SO SHORT."

"I'M SO TALL! AND AND..."

The narration pauses while Alanna glances down.

"GODDESS."

Well.

This is new.

[OOC: Tag one or both! All threads to occur post Alanna-Carol. Slowtime likely, per the usual. :) ]

Brienne lies down on her bed in the Quiet Isle. It's too small for her. Her legs dangle off the end, her arm off the side.

She turns one way and then the other, and then slips off the bed entirely to kneel beside it.

Brienne prays. She prays to the Warrior to strengthen her arm, and the Smith her sword; she prays to the Mother to protect Sansa Stark as one of her own children. Surely the Mother above would know and share Lady Catelyn's desperate grief, and her determination to bring back her child. She prays to the Maiden to remain by Sansa's side in this battle-torn realm. Above all, she prays to the Crone, to light Brienne's path.

And then, miraculously, her prayer is answered. A shining door in the air appears beside her.

Brienne jumps to her feet and walks through, in the soft, dull-colored tunic and loose breeches she would have worn to sleep, stopping only to grab her sword, Oathkeeper.

She looks around, to see a...tavern? An inn, of some sort? But clean and bright, much cleaner and brighter than any place she's ever been, except for Renly's camp at Highgarden.

Brienne approaches the large, high counter at the front, and calls out softly, "Innkeep? What is this place?"

A pamphlet materializes before her, with a short and cheery note, and a glass of ale. She reads it in puzzlement, standing still for a few moments.

Then she takes the ale and sits awkwardly at a table nearby. The Crone has led her here. A Bar at the End of the Universe, separate from all worlds, with no violence permitted--what better place for Sansa Stark to hide from the horrors of war? She's here, Brienne thinks, with frantic hope. She must be.

[ooc: Slowtimes now, but new threads welcome! :D]

Connor inna bar.

He watches the universe explode, thinking. After a few minutes, he murmurs to the bar, "Could I have a room key? I think I'd like to stay here for a few days. And have a place to keep stuff I probably shouldn't have back home." He imagines being able to keep weapons and books on the supernatural without having to worry about his friends and family finding out.

A key appears, and Connor picks it up. "Thanks." He trails his fingers along the surface of the bar. "You're pretty cool."

He goes back to watching the universe explode. He'd welcome company.

Behrooz is in the bar, sitting at at table, looking over some sheet music the bar had given him. Occasionally, he writes notes on the music in Turkish.

Feel free to bother him. Or offer him food. Or something.

[For 24-ways: Tony and Behrooz talk about Sara and music, while their muns make snarky OOC comments. Behrooz meets Connor, and they deduce that they're probably not from the same universe, and they talk about their lives. With some evasiveness.]
