Billy (Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog) - Milliways

Jan 02, 2009 20:33

Billy's out of uniform tonight. That in itself is worth noting. Also worth noting is the fact that he's not hiding behind some half-finished invention but rather contemplating a mug of tea.

Bar may have given him decaf.

maxwell smart, penny, barty lampion, dr. horrible

A couple tables away is a quite familiar red-head with a cup of tea of her own. Hers, however, is in a flowered mug and is green tea with honey. She's thinking, but with a smile on her face.

Of all the people Billy would've expected to see here, Penny was pretty far down on the list. Based on his admittedly limited interactions with her, she seemed too... normal for a place like Milliways.

When he finally looks up from his mug and spots the oh-so-familiar face, he lets out an involuntary squeak.

Penny looks up from her tea, and a tiny smile crosses her face. "Oh... hi. You're... you're the boy from the laundromat."

status_not_quo January 3 2009, 05:00:50 UTC

"Oh, uh. Yeah. Hi."

Smooth.

mm_quinby January 3 2009, 05:06:38 UTC

She smiles at him, a bit sheepishly, then looks back at her tea. "So, you been here before?"

status_not_quo January 3 2009, 05:12:03 UTC

"A few times, yeah."

HE slides down in his seat a bit, suddenly very relieved to have left his scheming and plotting back at the lab.

"Have you?"

Introductions may be in order at some point, but for now - SMALL TALK!

mm_quinby January 3 2009, 05:18:49 UTC

"No, actually. I was trying to get into the supply room at the shelter, and, this place appeared out of nowhere. It was... strange, really." She smiles a bit sheepishly. "Um. I was just waiting for someone to tell me what was going on."

status_not_quo January 3 2009, 05:25:25 UTC

"Oh, yeah. It's... kinda complicated."

He fidgets, pondering the best way to explain things, until something distracts him.

"Shelter?"

mm_quinby January 3 2009, 05:30:37 UTC

"I work for a homeless shelter." She brightens a bit. "We're trying to get one of the old buildings downtown donated so we can have more space and more beds."

status_not_quo January 3 2009, 05:37:38 UTC

"That's... great."

Okay brain, NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO START FORMING WORDS.

"Must be an uphill battle though."

mm_quinby January 3 2009, 05:39:54 UTC

"Oh, it is." She shrugs. "People don't understand the problem homelessness is in the city."

status_not_quo January 3 2009, 05:49:07 UTC

"People think they can just walok over the ones beneath them. Like they don't even matter."

He looks rather unexpectedly intense.

mm_quinby January 3 2009, 06:00:32 UTC

"Well, yes, that's part of it." She looks at him, a bit oddly, starting to say something, but stopping in the middle.

status_not_quo January 3 2009, 06:03:47 UTC

- and almost as if a switch has been flipped, he's back to his usual awkward self.

"Someday that's gonna change."

mm_quinby January 3 2009, 06:15:21 UTC

"Well, I certainly hope so." Penny smiles. "People will hopefully see that one of these days."

status_not_quo January 4 2009, 00:16:09 UTC

"They will."

He does have an optimistic side. Sometimes.

Sort of.

"Uh. I'm Billy, by the way."
