SUMMARY: A stranger walks into a bar.
FORMAT: Whichever.



It was late, the good people of the city where at home, preparing for bed. The rest of them were downtown, looking for a fix... whatever their fix is.

Raoul Duke sat inside a dimly lit bar, tracing scratches and carvings in the wooden bar top with a finger. He hadn't been there long, but he'd already downed a beer and a half, his eyes shifting around the bar for any strange happenings, any inspiration. But for what? Duke hadn't typed one sentence that wasn't about some fuck-awful sports game since getting his job, and he was afraid he was loosing his touch.

The bar door opened, Duke glanced back. No one he recognized, not that he was expecting to. Probably another local.

Suzi stumbled into the bar looking to grab a seat and catch her breath after spending most of the night wandering the city. After being told that she would die as soon as she left this place to go back into her own timeline, she had needed some air. But that didn't really matter right now.

Looking around the bar, she appreciated the dim light and the atmosphere that encouraged being left alone. Somewhat. She sat on a stool, wondering what it would take for her to get a drink.

As she waited for the bartender, hoping she wouldn't get carded, she overheard a snatch of conversation from the couple close by.

"I think it means she doesn't always like people telling her what she can and can't do," popped out of Suzi's mouth.

Selina raised an eyebrow as she glanced over at the newcomer. "Something like that," she replied, not really willing to give either stranger more information.

Suzi was surprised at a response and looked away asking the bartender for a drink. He asked for ID and she didn't really have any...

She sighed to herself, "It sucks to realize you've been messed with."

Duke raised an eyebrow. "No one likes to be told what they can do," Duke said, still working on his beer.

"So while we're on the subject, what's a kid like you doing in a bar?"

"I'm not that young!" Suzi frowns, not wanting to say much more.
