Enters a Magician...

[magius_unlocked]

OOM: Pre-MilliwaysThe door opens and in walks a figure in a snow-white hooded robe, with a backpack slung over one shoulder. The hood conceals the face of the figure completely. Pouches hang from a leather-looking belt and the backpack bulges as if filled over-capacity

*An albino young man at the bar, dressed in pristine white, pushes his white hair out of his eyes and smirks at the magician.*

*dryly* Ah. A newcomer.

[magius_unlocked]

Turning, Magius looks to the man who spoke, his eyes widening at the palpable aura of magic surrounding him. He offers a bow and then leans back against the bar again.

"Greetings. I am Magius."

[mogget_cat]

*The man smiles, amused, and takes a sip of his bright green drink. The drink is the same colour as the albino man's brilliantly green catseyes. He offers no bow.*

Good day to you, Magius, and welcome to Milliways.

[magius_unlocked]

Magius cocks his head.

"An interesting drink there. Milliways, eh? Seems an interesting place indeed. Are you a resident here?"

(ooc: completely new to all this-milliways and online rpg.)

[mogget_cat]

*The young man puts the drink down onto the bar.* Nuclear Iced Tea. Lovely stuff.

Milliways is an interesting place. In all connotations that the word 'interesting' might take on. I have made my home here, yes, for a little over a year.

(ooc: Then welcome! You're doing fine so far, trust me. Welcome to the crackbar; I hope you weren't using your soul, because this place will be owning it soon. Have fun! *beams!*)

[magius_unlocked]

Magius wonders at the words nuclear and the term iced tea, having never encountered them before. One eyebrow goes up as he glances at the drink then he looks back to the other.

"Ah. then perhaps you might direct me to how to get a room here. If you will. It seems I will be staying here for the foreseeable future."

(ooc: how do you make these smaller than the rest of the text? I was drawn in by many and varied peoples but mostly by chaos_puppets, who speaks of this place all the time. and soul? what is this soul you speak of?)

[mogget_cat]

*The look on Magius' face leads the albino to turn to Bar.*

My lady Bar, would you grant me another Nuclear Iced Tea, for the newcomer.

*Another green drink appears on the bar-top, and the young man, saying "thank you", hands it to Magius.*

You are new. First drink for newcomers are free, because newcomers usually need them to get over the shock. Before you get a room, it is important to know some things. Are you Bound, do you know? Are you able to leave the bar?

(ooc: To make smalltext, you type {small} with <> instead of {}. To end it you do {/small}, with <> instead of {}. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We're generally an easygoing, friendly bunch. I'm SaphtheImmortal on AIM, if you have it.)

[magius_unlocked]

Pulling back his cowl, Magius eyes the green drink, then picks it up and sips at it. His eyes widen as the drink courses down his throat and kicks a little. Bringing his face back under control, he raises his eyes back to the other. Light plays over the silvery-white hair and silver-streaked brown eyes.

"I was sent here by my God, to learn. I was not told to stay only here, so I imagine I can wander elsewhere... if I knew where this was and where elsewhere was in relation to it. But, for the time-being, this is where I am meant to be, so, if this place has rooms, I would like to stay in one of them."

(ooc: okay! cool! I needed a new obsession anyway!)

[mogget_cat]

*The albino smirks.* Ah. Well, where is the easy question.

Milliways is the bar at the End of the Universe.

*He gestures easily to the Observation Window, through which the view of the End of All Things can be seen. Galaxies explode in a variety of vivid, lurid colors. Total annihilation of everything that has ever been or will ever be.*

It's at the very end, both chronologically and spatially.

You can get anything you need from Bar. She is a good friend to have; yes, the bar is sentient. Be polite to her. Anything you order, the cost will be added to your tab. *He points to the Tab Board.* You can get a room key from her, also.

*The albino sighs.* And... someone has to tell you the rules.

(ooc: "A"? No no no... Milliways is The Obsession. *grins* Welcome to the crackbar.)

[magius_unlocked]

Magius nods, listening, then follows the other's gesture to the window. He almost gasps at what he sees, and his eyes widen. the ebauty if like that he saw once and only once in the Realm of the Gods. Shaking his head, he turns back to the other with a smile on his face. he eyes the Bar, changing the pronoun in his mind to Her as he sees her in a new light, glances at the Tab Board and nods. He had seen sentient artifacts before, but none this large, or this sentient!

"Good evening... Lady Bar. Might I have a room key?"

He then glances at the other and then it occurs to him to ask.

"Er, it occurs to me I havent asked your name yet. Might I have the pleasure of knowing what you are called? Or perhaps rather, how you wish to be called? I have been called many things I dont wish to be called, myself. And... er... rules?"

(ooc: The Obsession? ahhh, okie dokie. er, do things just appear when you ask Bar?)

[mogget_cat]

*The room key materializes on the bar-top.*

*The albino Bright Shiner inclines his head slightly.* Call me Yrael.

The rules are No Violence, No Business, and No Sex in the main bar area. No violence because Death really doesn't like having to work here. She comes here to relax. No business, so if someone from your world comes in that you have a grudge against, or you are supposed to kill... you do not do it here. Business from other worlds stays in other worlds. Do not bring it with you. And the third rule is mostly self-explanitory. There are rooms upstairs for that sort of thing.

Also, if something happens to Bar, it happens directly to the head Barman, too. So, no harming of Bar, for it will earn you no end of trouble. Because both the Barman and the Bar are good friends of a lot of powerful people here. Including me.

*A tuna cookie appears on the bar. The shape of a fish is done on top of the cookie in caviar. The albino smiles and picks it up.* Thank you, Lady.

(ooc: Yep! But the bar is sentient, so if your

[magius_unlocked]

He picks up the key and places it in a pouch.

"Thank you, Lady Bar. Er...(and this is to the Bar as well as Yrael) how does one get to a room?"

He nods and smiles at the rules.

"Those rules make sense. A neccesity for a place like this then. I have few enemies. As far as I know I was rather dead for long enough that most of them are long gone.

Of course that is a whole other bag of tricks. Coming to grips with having been dead for a long... longggg time isnt that easy. and that shock is probably why i am not all that shocked at a place like this, which is far beyond my purview."

He eyes the small item with a... fish on top(?) and realizes it must be some kind of confection as the Yrael eats it.

"So, ah, what do you do around here? And what exactly did you mean before by Bound?"

(ooc: Let me know if you get tired of answering questions. This character is a rather curious one, though not as curious as the one I am bringing in tonight or tomorrow. I'm magius unlocked on AIm for this character.)

[mogget_cat]

*Yrael chuckles.* Well, it is traditional to use the stairs to get up to the rooms.

What do I do? I play music, spend time with my friends, go hunting, eat, drink, sleep, occasionally visit other worlds, whatever I wish to do. It is a very nice place to live.

Some people are brought to the bar and cannot leave. Some of them cannot even see the door they came in through. Those who cannot leave the bar are called barBound, or are just Bound.

(ooc: Heck no. It's natural for a newcomer to have questions. And Yrael can't condemn anyone for curiosity, for he's guilty of it, himself. *hugs*)

[magius_unlocked]

Magius laughs a rich laugh at this and then nods, his eyes twinkling.

"Yes, the stairs..."

He glances over and sees them, and then brings his gaze back to Yrael and to the room, noting the several new arrivals in it as well as many who seem quite at home.

"This is a very unusual place. Krynn, where I come from, is war-torn, or was. It definitely had no places like this! Magic seems to flow strongly here."

He listens for a moment and then nods again, his eyes showing his intrigue as he sips his drink, then speaks.

"As far as I know, I am not Bound, thought there is little waiting for me back where I was, and I was sent here by one who I place utter faith in. thus there is no reason for me to try to return there. it may be interesting to see Other places, but for now, I think this bar will be quite enough to study itself."

(ooc: Grooovy! Thank you muchly. My sole exposure to role playing has been Dungeons and Dragons in the Non-CyberWorld. So, this is all as new to me as it is to my character. *hugs muchly*)

[mogget_cat]

There is a lot of magic here. Of all different kinds. Gods and angels and demons and wizards and witches and anthopomorphic personifications, and the occasional totally ordinary human are all patrons of Milliways.

(ooc: Well, you're doing well so far. Any questions, feel free to ask.)

[magius_unlocked]

"Excellent! I will definitely have to keep my eyes open."

His eyes gleam with interest and excitement as he takes in the whole bar.

"This is going to be a very interesting while."

Magius settles back, his hand going out to touch the Staff a moment. The Staff flickers once before going back to standing on it's own as he brings his hand back in to his side.

(occ: whee for multiple chats! quote: "This must be what going mad is like.")
