The strangest thing for many about the phonebox was the number of rooms, myriad in their uses and types, seemingly in unending supply. There were people here too, sometimes no more than voices around a corner or down the hall. Sometimes sitting in the chair near the fire that likely hadn't been there earlier. There was even talk of an entire ( Read more... )

For Tony this wasn't so much a prison as a vacation, albeit an atypical one. He did tend to prefer his holiday destinations with beaches, girls in very small bikinis and drinks with umbrellas delivered by those same women.

At least this place had the drinks.

He'd found himself a tuxedo, and was making his second martini of the evening when he heard someone behind him. Tony turned, his smile suave and practiced, hoping this time it was someone who'd enjoy his charm.

Unfortunately it wasn't his lucky day. Val had been waiting for the guy to stop posing like James Bond for almost two minutes, which in New York time meant she was done waiting.

"If I could just get by you," she said, exhaustion adding a bit of bite to her tone. She'd been up for fifteen hours already and she was definitely not in the mood to deal with older guys who dressed like it was prom night in the middle of the day.

Alright, so maybe not this time. Still, for all that she was a bit on the extreme side, she wasn't bad, he thought. "All you ever had to do was ask," he said charmingly, barely moving.

He shifted again, holding his arms out to let her by, his eyes following hers across the room. "Fair is fair. Can I get you a drink?"

Under the hill Val had learned her lesson about accepting food and drink from strangers in strange places; but the guy was human, which meant all she had to do to make sure nothing funny happened with her drink was follow him to the bar. "Yeah, why not," she agreed with a nod.

When he asked her what she wanted, her expression shifted to something more like a grin as she named the silliest sounding Faerie drink she could think of. "Hot lily nectar would be amazing," Val said sweetly. She may not have been a Never addict anymore, but sometimes teasing humans was still funny.

"Hot lily... wait," Tony drew out the last word, sure this was one of those slightly hip new drinks he just hadn't heard of yet. "New York? LA? You work in a bar?"
