*There's an Andrew in the bar.*

*He's looking a lot more cheerful than he did last time he was here.*

There's a Raspberry in the bar, too. What a coincidence.

She's leaning against a nearby table (a particularly leanable one) and occasionally giving Andrew a weird glance.

Eventually she takes the few steps necessary to enter talking distance and says, "You look familiar. Do I know you or somethin'?"

[stilljustandrew]

What? Hi. Uh ...

*He blinks.*

I ... don't think so? I mean, I don't think we've met.

*And he's fairly sure he'd remember.*

[berryberryraz]

She snickers. "If you don't think we've met, we ain't met, trust me."

Then she tilts her head. "'S fuckin' weird, though. What's your name?"

[stilljustandrew]

Um, Andrew. Wells.

What's yours?

[berryberryraz]

"Raspberry." She gives him a distracted smile, then brightens suddenly as a thought occurs to her. "Oh right! I met some other dude named Wells. You're probably related to him or somethin'. Nice guy. Werewolf. Good with voices. Is that it?"

[stilljustandrew]

*He brightens.* Harry Wells? Yeah, he's my cousin.

[berryberryraz]

"Ohhh." Raspberry giggles. "Hey, he mentioned you! Uhh, I think, anyways. Are you real nerdy or somethin'? We were talkin' about... something, and I said I ain't the sciency type and he said he has a cousin who is. Or somethin' like that."

[stilljustandrew]

...Something like that, yeah.

*Andrew's not sure how to take that. At all.*

[berryberryraz]

"Okay, now you're the one who's confused. No wait, I'm confused too. We're both fuckin' confused." She runs a hand through her hair. It goes squish. "What are we talkin' about again?"

[stilljustandrew]

Um, we were establishing family resemblance? And I was about to, uh.

*It is slowly dawning on Andrew that he is talking to a woman made of raspberry jello.*

*This is weird even for HERE.*

...ask where you were from, *he finishes weakly.*

[berryberryraz]

"A fridge," she says brightly. "Before that? Dunno."

Raspberry is starting to noticeably enjoy the weird looks she gets from people.

[stilljustandrew]

Oh.

*A beat.*

Okay.

[berryberryraz]

She waves a hand vaguely. "And, y'know, there was a world in there somewhere too. I didn't just spring out of a fridge and end up in Milliways. It's a good bet nobody round here's from the same place as I am, though, or I wouldn't get quite so many funny looks. It ain't like goo girls are common where I'm from, but we exist."

[stilljustandrew]

Do people where you're from know you exist, though?

*His tone's gone to geekish curiosity.*

'Cause, like where I'm from there are vampires, but most people never see one and think they're mythical.

[berryberryraz]

She pauses to consider this.

"Okay, everybody from the same town as me probably knows by now. Huge fuckin' psycho cherry-bitch with wings eating people right and left will do that. Dunno 'bout the rest of the world, though."

[stilljustandrew]

Eating people?

*Andrew is suddenly very serious.*

Is anyone trying to stop her?
