It is common practice on Earth that bars are often neighboring one another. It is much the same on the other side of the universe--

"Lieutenant!"

Wes grins from a table nearby. (Inyri's around, somewhere in the area, but since it's downstairs he doesn't feel the same need to be her shadow.)

"You're late. You must have missed the memo."

"Few years ago," he says brightly, and that makes him wonder whether he's going to tell Hobbie about this.

It can be added to the 'get him drunk first' category, along with I slept with Inyri again.

"...that's the other thing you gotta watch out for. This place is the end of the universe -- time, not place -- so there's people from your future and past here. Timelines are a kriffin' bastard."

"I want to be sure I understand this. There's people from the past and future that're here, too, as well as anywhere and everywhere in this universe?"

Finally, the full impact of just what he's walked into is hitting Myn Donos. "Lieut--Major... is that possible?"

i_love_kettch March 19 2007, 23:21:10 UTC

"Nope! It's called fucking Milliways. I think most of us are from your future."

He glances at his whiskey, finally remembering it, and takes a sip. A pretty large one.

Then waves a hand at the Bar and says, "You want a drink? First one's free. Helps with the whole 'impossible' thing -- just ask Bar or one of the rats."

"Sithspit, Wes... are you serious, or are you just screwing with me?"

Myn swallows hard, then lifts his ale belatedly to his lips. "I'm set. Happened to have this in hand when I left the party, so..."

Beat.

"Wait, ask the rats?!?"

i_love_kettch March 20 2007, 07:01:16 UTC

"Hey, I'm never not serious. The universe really is as crazy as I say it is; it just pretends not to be when everyone else is looking."

He shrugs and says, "You can never have too much alcohol. And yup. Why, moonlight as a health inspector?"

last_talon March 26 2007, 17:56:50 UTC

"That's a relief. I was afraid I'd landed in some alternate reality where you were serious and Hobbie was cheery." Myn shakes his head and looks into his ale, then wonders why he's looking at it, instead of drinking it. The problem is solved quickly.

"Maybe you can't. Some people can. And health inspectors are actually a counterinsurgency team of CorSec's back home, so I've had to do a little work, yeah." He rolls his eyes. He kept forgetting that sarcasm is one's best defense against Wes' immaturity. "But seriously... the rats? Why would I ask them?"

i_love_kettch March 26 2007, 18:27:52 UTC

"I'm astral like that. Special," he says, raising his glass of whiskey and downing what's left.

"And y'ask them if you're lazy like me. Can't always be bothered walkin' up to Bar. They'll take stuff to your room sometimes, too, if y'want it."

last_talon April 12 2007, 23:33:16 UTC

He nods mechanically. "I'll... I'll do that."

He bites his lip before continuing. "So... if you can come here from other times... and you're from the future..."

i_love_kettch April 13 2007, 16:49:20 UTC

"Don't ask me," Wes says quickly, "I can't tell you."

He grins suddenly, forcing it a little.

"That'd be cheating."

last_talon April 18 2007, 19:12:58 UTC

"...where's our first mission?" Donos finishes his question, and while not expecting an answer, he archs an eyebrow.

"Since when have you had a problem with cheating? Maia--er, Twelve saw you try and jury-rig something for the sabacc table in the officers lounge not long ago..." He smiles in as predatory a manner as someone with features this bland can manage.

i_love_kettch April 18 2007, 19:39:42 UTC

"I can win against sabacc tables," he says, trying not to think about Myn's first mission, "but no one can win against temporal anomalies, even when you cheat."

Obviously Wes has never met a Time Lord.

... or SG-1.

last_talon April 18 2007, 19:45:42 UTC

"Tried it, have we, Lieutenant?" Myn presses on with a grin.

THAT CAN BE ARRANGED.

i_love_kettch April 18 2007, 20:00:19 UTC

"Yeah," Wes says shortly.

Then adds, after a second, "See, just like that -- everyone from the past still calls me 'Lieutenant'."

last_talon April 21 2007, 18:05:47 UTC

"Then do I want to know why someone from the future is calling me Lieutenant?" Myn blinks expectantly, staaaaaaring at his duplicitous teacher.

A moment later, he shakes his head. "Nevermind. I don't want to know."
