Gordon had been stepping into the restaurant where he's been working lately to pay the bills. This... is not it. It's a lot nicer than a crappy restaurant in mid-90's Alphabet City ( Read more... )

"Gordon!"

There's a former stripper attached to his shoulders now.

Hey, didn't Mimi go missing?

"I'm sorry, Gordon, I can't do that."

Mimi takes his arm and leads him across the room, stopping in front of Bar.

"Bar, this is Gordon. Gordon, Bar."

Gordon stands there. Looks at Bar. Looks back to Mimi.

"Am I supposed to say hello or something? It's a piece of furniture."

Mimi looks down at Bar.

"Tea, please, dear?"

The tea appears.

"Thank you."

Take that, Gordon, you big cynic.

Well, that's a blow to the skepticism. He's not too pleased with it.

Gordon has to consider the magically-appearing tea for a moment, and then he frowns at Mimi. "How'd you do that?" Belief doesn't come very easily to him.

"I didn't. She did."

Mimi pats the wood surface affectionately and takes a sip of tea.

"It's very good tea."

"It's a she?" Gordon asks. For some reason the fact that the bar has a gender baffles him more than that tea magically appears on its surface.

"Yeah."

Mimi grins. "I'm told she had a thing with the janitorial broom, once upon a time."

Gordon coughs. Oh, Mimi. Be nice to the poor boy.

"You're joking now, right?"

"No, I'm not."

Mimi pats his shoulder again.

"You'll get used to it."

That's probably not as reassuring as she means it to be.

"I'm not sure I want to get used to it..."

"It'll be easier on you if you do. Trust me, the weirdness doesn't stop."

"New York's weird too..." he says slowly. Which is true, but not on a par with Milliways. Try again, Gordon.

"Mark met a girl here. Who he loves more than Maureen. They're getting married."

That'll prove her point.

Gordon is silent for some time before he answers. "I think I might want to go back to New York, where we have a normal kind of weird." Beat. "Whatever that means."

"Can you see the door? Sometimes people get stuck here."
