"I don't think cellphones work here," a lanky ginger informs Toni from a few seats down.

[toni_stark]

"Hmmm?" she says looking over at him. "Are you taking to me?"

[likesthehat]

"I... think so?"

He seems confused as well.

[toni_stark]

"Not that it matters, but trust me, my cell won't have any problems getting signal," she says with all the confidence of an engineer in her own tech. So confident is she that she doesn't even take her phone out to check.

"You haven't seen a bartender have you?"

Toni just got out of a really dull meeting and she really, really wants a bourbon.

"I believe," a man with wild hair says to the man by the door, "what you're experiencing is some sort of temporal shift in the very fabric of space and time, sending you light years away from your home planet."

Manny pops a handful of M&Ms into his mouth and goes back to reading his Science Fiction magazine.

Last month Cole wouldn't have believed him. He's seen enough in the past three weeks to know differently.

Blue and white electricity crackles up and down Cole's arms as he gets ready for a fight.

"Who's responsible for this? Is it Kessler?"

[manny_moo]

"I'unno," Manny says. "It could be that I'm completely mistaken and pissed off my arse again."

He shrugs and eats more M&Ms.

Damn that guy is so much like Zeke it's almost funny. Except that Cole is not thinking about Zeke. Thinking about Zeke just reminds him of how Trish died...

"Where am I?"

Madeline Westen, Burn Notice

[mmsqueaky]

If Maddie had read that she would think that Cole sounds a lot like her Micheal.

"I have no idea."

Re: Madeline Westen, Burn Notice

"Lady, where the hell am I?"

A ball of electricity forms in Cole's hand as he glares at her.

"First of all put down the fireball. Then we can talk. You are at the bar at the end of the universe."

Re: Madeline Westen, Burn Notice

[electricconduit]

"Or maybe I'll just fry you and make you talk..."

He could do that. He doesn't want to but he could. So far all being a hero has got him was a dead girlfriend so why not just...

Trish's dying words come back to haunt him, telling him how proud she was of what he'd become, of what he'd achieved. If he turned now it would be a betrayal of everything she'd care about. He couldn't do that.

"Bar's magic, Love."

The blonde a few seats down doesn't move her face in Toni's direction, but it should be obvious why. It's not like she's wearing anything to cover the scar tissue where most people have eyes.

"Just tell her whatcha want."

[toni_stark]

"The ba-" she begins, turning to look at the speaker. She's taken aback by the scars and she falters, though only for a second. "The bar's what?"

[aim_blind]

"Magic."

If Toni's up on her British accents, this is Northern, urban Scouse.

"Any technology sufficiently advanced, y'know? Ask for what y'want."

[toni_stark]

She nods, slowly; she's heard that saying before. It's such an automatic response she doesn't even think about the fact that the other woman can't see her doing it.

She looks at the bar.

"Um... I'd like a bourbon," she says clearly in the direction of the bar. She knows after her work with JARVIS that voice activated technology can do very odd things if you don't speak clearly enough. "Please," she adds, thinking of how fussy (read: sarcastic) JARVIS gets if she doesn't say it.
