Entrance Post

[lady_of_athens]

The door seems to open by itself, and a strong wind blows through the bar.

As a sandaled foot touches down, the door closes. The woman now standing before the door is helmeted, a spray of hair rising from the metal, black locks visible underneath. Her posture is straight, and layers of white cloth billow around her. Her right arm is curled around a

Integral is at the Bar, snickering.

The woman's entrance makes her turn, and she raises an eyebrow, her hand edging toward her sword.

Curious, Integral stands and walks over. "Good evening."

[lady_of_athens]

Athena just barely turns to face the other, expression still unrevealing.

There is no nod of recognition, just a meeting of eyes.

"Good evening."

[godandthequeen]

Integral stares for a moment. Then she shrugs and extends a hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

[lady_of_athens]

Athena adjusts her grip on her shield, nodding slightly. She doesn't seem to notice the extended hand.

"A pleasure to meet you as well, I hope."

[godandthequeen]

Integral shrugs. "I assume then, from your weaponry, that we're not from comparable timelines. Is this your first time here?"

[lady_of_athens]

Athena nods.

"I have not yet stumbled upon this place before. As for my timeline, it spans most of Earth's history up to, ah, now the twenty-first century."

[godandthequeen]

Hmmmm.

Interesting. "Welcome to Milliways then, Sir Athena."

She was a smart cookie.

[lady_of_athens]

There's an amused smile on Athena's face.

"Is 'sir' the customary title for a female for you?"

[godandthequeen]

Integral chuckles. "It is the title of a knight. I assumed you would be no less, and quite a bit more."

[lady_of_athens]

"I am flattered. And your name?"

[godandthequeen]

"Sir Integral Hellsing. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Even if she was a pagan symbol. She was a good pagan symbol.

[lady_of_athens]

"Sir Integral Hellsing. Thank you for the welcome."

See? Athena plays well with others.

Totally.

[godandthequeen]

Of course. "This is the Bar at the end of the universe, if what I have been told is correct. Apparently your first drink is free."

Might as well get to the nuts and bolts of explaining.

[lady_of_athens]

"The end of the universe," she muses, running her tongue over her lips.

"That's.. fascinating."

[godandthequeen]

"It is indeed. It has a nasty habit of grabbing me at the worst possible moment, but I'm told that others find it quite enjoyable."

She taps the ash from her cigar somewhat roughly.

[lady_of_athens]

"Does it change the outside world? While you're in here?"
