Entrance Post

Milo, carrying an armload of folders back to his desk, strolls into the CTU breakroom and winds up smack in the middle of the Bar.

He's so engrossed in the report he's reading that he doesn't notice that the coffee pot he's pouring himself a cup from has just materialized out of nothing on the bartop.

When this does register, there's a loud yelp

A rather pretty young woman in a dark silk dress shook her head, and set her book and tea down. Rising from her seat, she walked over to him, glowing golden for a moment as the coffee evaporated in an instant, and the broken mug pieced itself together. Glowing at the edges, the broken pieces reformed into the normal mug.

"There, Child. Now no need to be brash. You have merely stepped into an extra-dimensional space."

Milo stares at the mug, and then at Lyrae.

Whatever's going on, it'll be easier if he just blames it on Morris.

"God. Did someone spike the coffee?"

Lyrae shrugged her shoulders, commenting rather blandly.

"I cannot say."

[johnnycoolguy]

The words fall on deaf ears, as Milo's discovered the observation window.

He collapses weakly onto a barstool.

"God," he mutters. "I really hope I'm not dead."

"Found yourself at the end of the universe," says a British man who's replenishing his own coffee at the bar. He hasn't introduced too many new people to Milliways and is quite looking forward to breaking this man's head.

Aw, Bond, what did poor Milo ever do to you?

Milo is staring all around him with a rather pitiful WTF expression. "Jesus. This is just...not okay."

He has work to be doing.

"What the hell was that about the end of the universe?" He turns suspiciously back to Bond.

[callitavesper]

Nothing! But he's there! And new! And impressionable! And Bond has a mischievous streak.

James nods to the Observation Window. "You're in it."

He's also drenched in coffee and was in a bad mood to begin with (because Milo is rarely in anything but a bad mood these days.)

He narrows his eyes at the window as though it's run over his kitten.

"Okay. Sure. End of the universe. How the hell did I get here?"

Just humoring the crazy person, as far as Milo is concerned.
