A Professor Wolf Walks in the door

[psychowolf]

Clay takes the stairs in his building two at a time, frustrated that he doesn't feel any less restless than before his run. Every fall it's the same and even worse, this year he has to be away from home. He opens the door to his apartment but instead of his apartment there is a bar at the end of the universe. There is a moment of shock and confusion, his senses assaulted by all of the smells of this place. In that moment the door shuts behind him.

He turns and tries to open the door, his pulls getting more forceful and a bit panicked, not that he would admit that last part.

The tall muscular professor is wearing shorts and a t-shirt which show his physique. Not that you would know he is a professor by looking at him.

"Well, this is Milliways," says Daniel taking a quick look over his shoulder, "And this is Guide..."

At least the hall behind him was empty, aside from a young Siamese cat stalking people's ankles.

Guide on hearing his name glances back at Daniel Jackson.

"Daniel Jackson, this one refuses to move," he growls.

"I can see that. Are you two going to duke it out, 'cause you know I would rather not get in the middle of that."

[psychowolf]

Clay looks between the two. Truth is Clay didn't mean to block the door, he was just trying to get home. And this is a human and humans can't learn about werewolves. Looking at the alien he decides that still even if the human knows about this creature it's best to keep their secret. It's the Number One rule of the Pack.

So he steps aside, "What is this Milliways, and how did I end up here instead of my apartment?" still at the ready in case the big one decides to start a fight.

[shakemyhand]

"Did you lock the door?" asks Daniel with a smirk.

Guide glowers at the two men, but stands aside from the door as well.

Daniel takes a few steps in and does his best to show both of the other men to a table out of the way of entering patrons.

[psychowolf]

Clay glares at Daniel, "The door doesn't have a handle let alone a key hole." In-spite the snark Clay still follows Daniels lead to a table because he is at least talking and Clay needs answers. The werewolf keeps his senses on full alert, taking in as much information as he can.

[shakemyhand]

Guide sits himself down on a chair. He clamps his feeding hand shut.

"Well, actually, The Bar has a habit of hijacking doors," Daniel explains, "Looks like it got both of us from where ever we were in our world."

"This one tried to enter my hive," growls Guide in his gravely alien voice.

"Really?"

[psychowolf]

"I was trying to get back to my apartment." he has no interest in this creatures Hive. And as he considers it he actually respects that this Guide was protecting his territory.

Looking at Guide, "I wasn't trying to enter your territory." his demeanor has changed, more relaxed or at least less aggressive.

"I am Clayton Danvers" deciding that since he now knows their names it's only fair to provide his.

[shakemyhand]

Ah well that explains it. This human had never been here before. Guide smirks at the human with a small half smile. He'd been there before.

"Yeah, well, I can see why Guide was so distressed," he says, "It'd be like if you had just tried to escape into Atlantis. It would be hell trying to explain the presence of a strange guy running around."

Daniel also smiles sympathetically.

[psychowolf]

The mention of Atlantis gets Clay's attention but he stays on point, he has to get back, "How do I get back to my apartment?" he sadly doesn't care about where he is just how to get back.

[shakemyhand]

"Is your door there?" asks Daniel, "And if it is, can you open it?"

This interests Guide as well, he hasn't been here very long. Most of the mechanics of the place are still foreign.

[psychowolf]

"When I tried to open the door again it wouldn't budge and then you came through." he indicates Guide.

He isn't liking that this seems like magic, magic doesn't exist.

[shakemyhand]

"Sounds like your bound," says Daniel, "My guess is that the Bar has some reason for it."

Guide bares his teeth at the sound of being bound in the Bar. That would not be good for him.

[psychowolf]

Clay tenses and a small growl breaks out from deep in his throat at the mention of being bound.

"How do I get unbound?"

[shakemyhand]

"That is between you and the Bar," explains Daniel.

"And this happens to many people?" asks Guide almost academically.

[psychowolf]

Clay is curious about the answer to that question too. So he waits for the answer.

[shakemyhand]

Daniel shrugs, "I guess. I've been bound here before."


"Why?" asks Guide.

"Uh, well, I don't know," says Daniel apologetically, "It just seems random."

[psychowolf]

"Well then what is this place?" he doesn't like random. If he is stuck here he needs to understand this place to navigate it.

[shakemyhand]

"Milliways Bar," says Daniel, "It's the Bar at the end of the universe. You can watch it exploding out that window over there."

He's pointing at the observation window.

Guide bares his teeth and growls, he really doesn't like that window.

[psychowolf]

Clay looks towards the window and reacts much like Guide. This is not comforting.

"How did I get here?" Is someone coming after the Pack, getting him out of the way.

[shakemyhand]

Guide looks at the man, he seems much more like a Wraith than anyone else he's met here.

"The Bar took over your door," explains Daniel.

[psychowolf]

"And what am I supposed to do here?" his irritable mood is coming back.

[shakemyhand]

Daniel shrugs, "I tend to get a lot of work done here. Or get coffee... take it easy. Do you like fishing?"

Guide laughs slightly. He might be able to find a sparing partner here, or just explore. "There are many things to find here."

[psychowolf]

"Well I was taken after a run, I don't have any of my work with me." all of his research is back at school. Perhaps, "Is there anyplace to workout? And where am I supposed to sleep? And eat?"

[shakemyhand]

"There is a gym here," says Daniel, "And you can order food from the Bar and the rats. There are also rooms to rent."

Guide hisses as his hand mouth spasms. His hunger was growing, burning in his chest. But it isn't as bad as it had been when he was starving.

"Guide are you okay?" asks Daniel.

"I will be fine," Guide says through his teeth, "I was just about to enter the feeding chamber."

Daniel's eyebrows raise above his glasses, "I take it then, you're hungry."

Guide nods his head.

"Well, that complicates things."

[psychowolf]

Amanda overhears, "Well I say." she comes over and sits down with the men.

Clay glares at the woman. Humans are so inappropriate. And his foul mood overrides his better judgement as usual, "It's rude to ease-drop."

Amanda turns to the newcomer, "You don't know what Guide eats do you?"

[shakemyhand]

Ah this one. She Who Must Be Loved. He bows his head at her slightly.

Daniel looks on amused and leans over to mutter at Clay, "Wraith live in a matriarchal society. Also, seriously, this is probably a good thing."
