The door is opened and a girl of about 18 enters the bar. She's wearing blue denim dungarees over a white t-shirt and her dark hair is in two french braids and she has a small black rucksack over one shoulder. She's talking on a cell phone and paying no attention to where she is

She would have time to wonder why she's at the end of the universe as opposed to the grocery store were her older brother not at the bar.

Or rather, not out the bar, quite out of his seat, and pulling her into an ecstatic hug.

"Inari!"

What the hell is she doing--oh screw it.

[vegetarianvamp]

"Thomas? Oh my god Thomas!"

And she's hugging him back tightly.

"What are you doing here? Why aren't you in Chicago?"

[always_thirsty]

"Because I'm here."

Best answer he's got.

"And because here is better than there about, oh, 70% of the time."

And then he's hugging her again.

"Man, I never expected you to show up. If it wasn't your first time here, I'd noogie you, but then you might not want to come back."

[vegetarianvamp]

She pries herself from his hug, frowning.

"Come back where? Thomas, where are we? This isn't the grocery store. Well, unless the grocery store did some major remodeling."

Cue the two-bunny welcoming committee.

Sort of. Unofficial welcoming committee that is.

Sarah grinned, offering a bag of jellybeans, "New here arencha'? You've got that 'where the hell am I, who the hell are you, and what the hell is this all about' look to you."

She paused for breath, "I'm Sarah, this is Caitlin, and welcome to Milliways, bar at the end of the universe. ANd also, happy easter."

Caitlin smiles and waves.

"Happy Bunny Day!"

[vegetarianvamp]

"Um, Happy Easter to you too," she say's, sounding very confused.

"I'm sorry, where did you say I am?"

[iamnotstorm]

Sarah smiled, "Milliways. Bar at the end of the Universe. First drink's on the house if you think you're going to need one to make the adjustment. Most people do."

[stopped_signal]

Mr. Universe is sitting near the door with his laptop, as usual, and the noise of it opening and closing manages to get his attention. He glances up.

"Hi. Welcome to Milliways."

[vegetarianvamp]

She looks to where he's sitting and manages a weak smile.

"Hi. Um... what happened to the grocery store?"

[stopped_signal]

"It went away", he says cheerfully, leaning back in his chair. "Or... no, you got brought here instead. It's probably still right outside the door, if you look."

[vegetarianvamp]

"Brought here? Where am I?" she asks, confused.
