Angel's at a table, with some hot chocolate and his notebook. There's nothing particularly doom-filled on the horizon, not as far as he knows, he's just... trying to figure something out.
Namely: So what do you get a bohemian filmmaker who can afford everything (even if he doesn't want it) for his birthday

Michael is out of the rafters now, and passes Angel's table on his way to the Bar.

[the_antiangst]

He's seen the blue a couple of other times, and also this is Milliways, so it's not that surprising. Certainly is eye-catching, though.
"Blue is Antar, right?" The question's out before he can stop it.

[rebelheartalien]

Michael stops and turns, surprised but not all that suspicious.

"...Yeah?"

[the_antiangst]

"I've seen Val come in from there a couple of times. And Faith, on one memorable occasion. Didn't mean to ask quite that abruptly, though, sorry about that. I'm Angel, by the way."

[rebelheartalien]

He nods. "Michael. Good to meet you."

[the_antiangst]

"Nice to meet you too. Sit down, if you want."
Plenty of chairs to go around, after all, and it's not like his list is getting anywhere.

[rebelheartalien]

He does, since he's not in a particular rush to get anywhere. "Thanks."

[the_antiangst]

"No problem. So... are you actually from Antar? I don't think I've seen anyone stick with the blue quite like you are."

[rebelheartalien]

"No more than Max is. But I don't go back to Earth more than I have to, and I like it."

[the_antiangst]

"Cool. I'm from New York, myself. 1997."

[rebelheartalien]

"New Mexico. 2002, last time I was there."

[the_antiangst]

"Really? One of my friends has a restaurant in Santa Fe."
Sure, Collins may be running the thing, but he's still thinking of it as Mark's restaurant.

[rebelheartalien]

"Only been to Santa Fe once or twice. I'm from Roswell."

[the_antiangst]

"Never made it west of Cleveland, really." He's leaving recent events out of it, at least for now; that was more special dispensation anyway.
"Roswell's vaguely famous, though, at least in my world. One of those 'no one knows what happened and the speculation's still running rampant' deals."

[rebelheartalien]

"It's a tourist trap for UFO nuts, in my world. I'm one of... less than twenty people who know what really happened."

[the_antiangst]

"The tourist-trap bit applies to mine, but to the best of my knowledge, we didn't actually get a UFO. Could be wrong, though - never really looked into it."
