First entrance..

( OOM: Skulduggery Pleasant, Detective extraordinaire, gets a surprise visit from a troll while out walking, but gets a little more than he bargained for with a not-so-mysterious door. )

The front door is swung open forcefully and in barrels a rather frantic figure, who is immediately up on his feet again and poised for a fight.

What he spots,

Okay. Doc's seen a lot of weird stuff, in this bar. Talking animals. Blue people, purple-pink-gooey people, a penguin, magic drinks and rooms, but this...

He's staring, a little. Promise, it's not him trying to be rude, the poor guy is just confused.

This looks like one of the skeletons from his anatomy class back in college come to life.

More staring.

"Skulduggery Pleasant," Doc says, putting this to memory. It's quite a mouthful, but he manages it.

The talking skeleton is quite friendly, it seems, and that makes Doc smile.

"If you do need a room, or anything at all, you can get it by asking Bar."

"Anything at all, eh? This place sure knows how to provide," Skulduggery says with a visible nod, stepping over and holding out a bony but gloved hand to Doc as a delayed addition to the introduction.

"So, where are you actually from then, Doc?"

[docscurlock]

"Lincoln, New Mexico," Doc says, taking the hand -- and grateful for the glove, because that would just be weird -- and shaking. "Oh, and, 1878."

It's easier to just say it all at once.

"You, sir?"

"Dublin, Ireland. Just came in from 2007, though I've been around a fair bit longer," he responds, feeling rather odd stating the year. It's not usually something one does in an introduction.

"People from all over the place come here then?"

[docscurlock]

"All dates, places, times, forms of living or non-living, Bar doesn't seem to care what you were in the middle of for most of us. It's very random."

He brightens slightly at the mention of Ireland. Ireland is close to England, which is where Mr. Tunstall was from.

[[slowtime is good for me.]]

[pleasantskull]

He's starting to notice that after another look around the Bar at some very odd characters.

"Very random indeed," he agrees, though thankfully so. He's glad the door appeared when it did, in all honesty. "And what exactly happens to those without a door?"
