Are they swinging this thing in front of your face?

There is a man who's just run into the Inn. He is a writer from Hollywood, he had back surgery (L-5 S-1, if that means anything) three days ago, and he's high as a paper kite on Vicodin and Percoset. He just won a Writer's Guild award for a screenplay he wrote, and he looks rather pissed

Martha raises an eyebrow at the entrance and the subsequent yelling.

"Sorry. I'm not your Danny." She stands from the table she's been at and smiles. "You're not going to believe me, but you're in the Inn. Between worlds and times. Not anywhere near... Studio 60, was it? Or any other place you're familiar with, most likely."

Matt stares at her for a moment, a bit dazed. And not entirely unappreciative of Martha's good looks. In fact he's probably going to try, in his awkward way, to flirt with her at some point. He probably won't do very well.

"I'm in an Inn between worlds and times. And I've got a gorgeous English tour guide." He ponders this for a moment. "These are some really good painkillers!"

More eyebrow raising at the gorgeous comment.

"It's not the meds, but... believe what you'd like." She points a slender, polished fingernail at herself. "Not a tour guide though. Can't have you believing that."

It's kind of amusing. Americans.

Martha fixes him with a look, noting the dazed expression. "What kind of pain medication? Are you sure you should be... up?"

[intendedcomedy]

"Vicodin," he says, scratching the back of his head. "And Percoset. I had back surgery on Tuesday, and my pain medications make me... not know where chairs are."

And, amusingly enough, he can't remember why he thinks that.

Fiona is working on some last-minute additions to The Explosive and thus doesn't appreciate the shouting.

"You're in the Inn, I don't know who Danny is, and if you make me lose me concentration, you'll be very sorry." Or blown up with the rest of the Inn. A minor detail, really.

"Why will I be sorry? Are you planning my bachelor party?"

Never mind that he's not getting married, or that he's just recently broken up with his girlfriend. He's high, his mind is not his own at the moment.

Fiona doesn't answer him right away. This is a delicate operation and the slightest untoward movement could be very bad.

Once she is done, and the Explosive safely stored away until it's debut, she looks up. "We could have exploded."

[intendedcomedy]

"Really?" Matt raises his eyebrows. "Well. That would certainly have been unfortunate. Normally I'd be more disturbed by this fact, but I'm on about five different kinds of pain medication right now, including Vicodin and Percoset, so I'm not exactly in my right mind."
