Gordon had been stepping into the restaurant where he's been working lately to pay the bills. This... is not it. It's a lot nicer than a crappy restaurant in mid-90's Alphabet City ( Read more... )

"Gordon!"

There's a former stripper attached to his shoulders now.

Hey, didn't Mimi go missing?

"...Mimi."

Insert surprised blinking here.

"I haven't seen you in... a while."

"...oh?"

'Cause she just saw him, like, two days ago.

"Uhm....what date is it for you, then?"

Gordon's getting rather tired of that question. He sighs and rubs at his forehead. "December '97. Almost '98."

"Oh."

Mimi releases him. "Ah. Well. It's a little later than that for me...did you just get here?"

Gordon takes a step back and nods shortly. "A little while ago, yes."

"Oh. Well. Welcome to Milliways, then. Have you talked to anyone else yet?"

"Some people, yeah... Angel?" That is, indeed, a question. He still hasn't convinced himself he didn't imagine it.

"Yeah, she's here." Mimi grins at him. "Mark comes in and out, and so do Collins and Joanne. Maureen used to, but I haven't seen her in a while. Roger sort of refuses to. The place scares him, I think."

"Right. Someone mentioned Paul too..." He frowns slightly. "This is strange."

Gordon wins the prize for understatement of the century.

"Yeah, Paul runs Life Support meetings, even. And Ali comes in too, sometimes."

She pats his shoulder. "I know, it is, but it's a good place."

"If you say so," he murmurs, the height of suspicion. Gordon's not such a fan of strange and unfamiliar.

"Have you met Bar yet? The first drink is on the house and I think you could use one."

"Met... um... no." There's a pause. "Bar is an odd name."

Silly Gordon. He thinks it's a person.

"It's not so much a name as a description," Mimi says. "Bar is...well, the bar. But she's sentient. And has a wicked sense of humor."

Gordon stops and quirks an eyebrow at her before saying slowly, "Mimi, please understand that I have very little sense of humor, and... please tell me this is some strange joke I'm not getting."
