A most fortuitous entrance

[get_help_boy]

There are plenty of things you expect to see coming into Milliways.

Oddly enough, however, an little boy on a bright red bicycle is probably not one of them. It's just too normal. And Timmy, why, Timmy is as normal as they come. He's a normal eleven year old boy

[ooc: slowtime is likely. Yay? :D]

Shaun manages to jump aside just quickly enough to avoid the kid on the out of control bike.

"Shit!"

[get_help_boy]

The bike isn't so much out of control as going at top speed and not prepared for being inside a bar. He takes a sharp turn and that stops him, though the wooden floor isn't very forgiving.

"OWWWW!:

[got_red]

Aw crap.

"You okay, kid?"

[get_help_boy]

Timmy winces as he crawls out from under the bike, looking down at something of a skinned knee.

"Ow," he repeats, more quietly this time.

No, not really.

After a brief visit with the bar - lucky she's back to her old self - he returns with a first aid kit.

"Y'need any help?"

[get_help_boy]

"I'd sure appreciate it, mister," he says with a nod, though bravely enough, he's not crying. He just looks confused.

"Say, do you know where I am or how I got here? And, no offense or nothing, but you sure sound different from everyone else I've ever heard. Do you know what's going on?"

[got_red]

Introductions and scraped knees aren't exactly his areas of expertise, but the kid could obviously use a hand.

"This is Milliways. It's a bar at the end of the universe."

[get_help_boy]

That gets wide eyes.

"I'm in a bar!?"

[got_red]

"Yeah. Don't worry though, kids are allowed. You just can't order anything you're not old enough for."

Gauze and antibiotic cream in hand, he gets to fixing up Timmy's knee as well as he can. Funny how blood still makes him a bit queasy.

"Don't ask me how the bar knows, but somehow she does. My name's Shaun, by the way."

[get_help_boy]

"Shaun," he repeats for a moment before holding out a hand.

"Timmy. Timmy Robinson."

[got_red]

He stops what he's doing long enough for a handshake.

"Nice to meet you, Timmy."

[get_help_boy]

"Nice to meet you too, Shaun," he says with a small smile.

[got_red]

He finishes what he's doing, leaving Timmy with a neat bandage on his knee.

"There. Good as new."
