OOM: the only thing you can do when you're in a terrible situation is close your eyes and
get on with it. The man in the doorway drops his cell phone.
It snaps, breaking badly, before he stares blankly. Two minutes ago this ways most definately not a fucking bar.Mark is suddenly very aware of just how shitty he looks-sweat stained shirt, burns

Mark may find a man in a grey suit leaning over the back of the nearest booth, watching him curiously.

That for that matter is not a cop. For a moment he mistakes him for Eric, but he's too thin. Not as brawny-for that matter, not as tied up.
"Hello?"
He stops short as his foot hits the cell phone, "Fuckingshit-"
He turned around in a circle, "Hey-buddy? can you uh...can you help me out here?"
To say he's confused is an understatement.

He's never seen anything like it. He picks it up carefully (he doesn't want to break it even more, after all) and turns it over in his hands several times, examining the tiny little intricacies.
It's clear what it is, but it's practically light years beyond anything available in Teller's time.

Well, those were cheap. Scratching the back of his neck, Mark eyeballs the phone, "You can go ahead and keep that if you want.."
He knew where Corbett was. He could go back and find her. Turning around (This must be a dream) he straightens and heads back before...
"...Hey pal-pal-"
He waves at the man with the phone, "Help me out here."

He hands it back to him, and turns round, pointing at the Bar.
That's what new people tend to want, right?

A more pressing need takes over, "...Pal, would you happen to know where the can is?"

Yum.

He loves Magic. Angie was really into it and they'd do brother and sister outings. A guy pulled a rose from her ear. (And promptly lit his suit on fire, but that was beside the point)
"...Magic?"
All right. So he can find it shortly..

Or both.
Teller reaches into the air and plucks a business card from nowhere, and hands it to Mark.

He looks up at him. He looks down. He looks back up, and back down. Frowning, he slips the card into his pocket, "Cool."
Pause, "I'll be right back."
He slid out of the seat and ran off, returning a few moments later drying his hands on a paper towel, "...that's better."
He'd been sitting in that stupid chair for hours.

If Mark liked the first apple trick, he'll really like this one. Teller's peeling an orange, slowly revealing a bright red apple underneath.
And apparently, this is completely normal behaviour for an orange, as far as he's concerned.

"....Look, okay there's a time for magic and then there's-" wait a second. This is a dream.
Mark stops short. This is a dream. This was a relatively good one too since he wasn't in any sort of danger, angelina wasn't looking at him, or yelling at him..
The hint of a smile appears, "...Can you uh...Do anything with flowers?"

Teller pulls a bouquet of silk flowers out of nowhere, but he doesn't seem like he has much fun in doing it.
Is that what you were expecting?

Best. Dream. Ever.

So he coughs, and a tarantula falls onto the table in front of him with a thwunk!
He pretends not to notice.

It's a pity that Mark doesn't have happier icons.
"Oh man, Angie'd love-"
He stops.
".......Well she would have liked it." He moves back, hands in his pockets, "I don't suppose you know where I can get something to drink."
It's not a question. Suddenly he looks very tired.
