First Entrance

Malfoy Manor is quiet of late. Not that it usually wasn't, but the quiet that has permeated the mansion in the last few months has a distinctively eerie quality. One Narcissa has become accustomed to ( Read more... )

Snow takes notice of the newcomer and approaches.

"Good evening. Welcome to Milliways."

Narcissa's eyes snap to the other woman, narrowing. Her gaze is critical.

"Milliways? Where, exactly, would this be? I assume I have been somehow transported here?" She hadn't Apparated, she knew that much.

Snow raises an even more critical eyebrow. That eyebrow has had centuries worth of practice.

"Milliways is the restaurant at the universe. And yes, the door pulls patrons in from all over. It's just a part of what this place is about."

Snow is now being eyed as if she's insane.

"The door brought me here?"

There's a dry voice from a booth to one side. Narcissa will be able to see a dark, young-looking man with long hair, polishing a large bow with a cigarette dangling from his lips.

'It doesn't change if you just stare at it. Swearing doesn't help either.'

She gives him an appraising glance.

"It generally doesn't." Her voice is shaky, yet the words are clipped. "What manner of place is this?"

He pauses in his work and stares at her for a moment, with very blue eyes. Then resumes his task, staying silent for a moment before saying,

'It's a bar.'

Beat.

'I presume you're new?'

"A tavern, yes, I can see that, and one no better than the Leaky Cauldron." She says with obvious distaste, her voice strengthening.

Her own blue eyes narrow at him. "There must be more to it than that."

"Milliways. Bar at the end of the universe. You're new?" It has the air of a question to which she already knows the answer.

"I have just arrived." Narcissa replies slowly, eyeing the girl.

Her next question is hesitant. She really should not be asking questions of a child. "End of the universe?"

The girl eyes her in return. If one notes such a thing, her eyes are far older than her apparent twenty-some years should account for.

"Yes. Both chronologically and geographically, though the latter term doesn't quite apply in this case." She gestures towards the observation window. "You're welcome to consider that a hoax, if you'd like. It's not, but some people seem to find deluding themselves more comfortable than trying to figure this place out."

Narcissa gapes at the window, because there isn't much more to be done when first viewing the end of the universe, breeding be damned.

"They're trying to drive me mad." She finally whispers.

Helen rises from her seat at the bar and approaches the woman. "Welcome to Milliways Bar, Ma'am. I presume you are new here?"

"I... yes." The simple answers are often the best. "What is this place?"

Helen smiles, warmly. "This is Milliways Bar, the Restaurant at the end of the universe." She points to the observation window. "Seriously."

Narcissa stares at the window for a few moments, before turning wildly back to Helen.

"Who is doing ths?" She demands hoarsely.

Loki, it might be noted, is drawn to potential chaos.

He doesn't know the nature, but this definitely draws him.

"Hello. You new?"

beauty_marred January 22 2006, 07:14:03 UTC
"One might say that." Narcissa eyes the strnager warily, along with her new surroundings.

Loki nods. "Basically, this is a nexus where all the worlds connect. A sort of ur-Yggdrasil. People from various worlds and lands and times are brought here by some mysterious agency, proof even against the gods. Some can choose when they enter, some can choose when they leave, some can't on either." He pauses. "Can you see the door behind you still?"

She nods as he speaks, taking it all in. Whether she believes him is something else altogether. Finally, she turns around and stares at the wall where the door should be.

"It's gone." She whispers.
