:::She abscentmindedly rubbed the jade on her neck...she wasn't sure she should touch it...if such a thing were true...but he offered it so willingly...:::
:::She picked it up from his hand, and did as he said. She lifted it in the direction of the two glasses, but didn't aim. Kara pulled the trigger...and shot the left glass...:::
::She lowered the gun...:::
I could have aimed and gotten it...

Tac smiled as he took it back, "Its ok, I likely couldn't have done it either. Wonder I made it to my position in my world. Its ok, you can go now, all my questions are answered for tonight. Just promise me one thing, don't ever forget yourself." He turned away and walked back towards the bar, a swift motion replacing Orcus into his holster on the outside of his right thigh.

:::She raised an unamused eyebrow at him, and decided just to walk away... Though she mumbled to herself as she walked out the door:::

He sat down at the bar, but not before pushing the shattered glass aside from the stood. He rested his head in his hands, elbows on the bar, staring at the shotglasses. He picked it up and leaned over the bar, but blinked out, causing it to fall and shatter upon the ground.

*Luke phases in. He's decked out in a half-open hawaiian shirt, cut offs, and shades. His hair is wet from a recent dunk in the pool. He has a fancy drink in his hand with a little straw hat. His skin is pink - from suntan or from alcohol, it's hard to tell.*
*He's laughing at something when he finds himself alone and in the Brink.*
Awww...aw you've got to be joking... *Luke looks around, smiling ever so slightly.* C'MON! I'm in ******** CANCUN!

*Luke looks over to the see a new girl in the Brink. She's young, younger than he is he'd wager. Probably still in high school. He walks over, a little tipsy.*
Hey, hey.
*Luke studies the look on the girl's face. He'd know it any where.*
Let me guess. You've never been here before.

I don't even know where here is.
*She looks around for a moment, then focuses back on Luke.*
Is this some kind of dream?

*Luke shakes his head.* Nope. *He takes a sip from his Margarita, which still has a little umbrella in it.* Fraid you're not.
*For a fleeting moment, he realizes how ridiculous he must look. Had he been completely sober, he probably would not have been attempting this, but seeing as how he's not...*
Thing is... You're not really on Earth any more. So forget that - Earth is out. You're in a place they call the Brink of Time. *Luke says all this slowly, like a teacher explaining to a student.* See, normally there'd be somebody else here to do this.... Explain everything.... Tell you that it's gonna be okay.... But right now - *He looks around, as if to show her.* All you've got is me.
*Luke continues as he might, giving a school presentation for his pre-law class.*
As I said, you're in the Brink of Time. And you could freak out. You could. But there's really not much point in it. This place will bring you here - whenever it wants. As you can see - I was in Mexico, enjoying a drink. I could be dancing, drinking a Corona, partying with half-dressed freshman undergrads... Instead - I'm here.
But the good part about this - is that time stops for this to happen. *The alcohol is making all this rather incoherent.* Right now, in Mexico? Time is standing still. When I magically disappear, I'll be right back on the beach. Nobody'll even know I left!
You don't really have control over all this. *Holds up his glass* But there's lots of alcohol and Gatorade and fruit juice behind the bar...There's a room you probably have somewhere over there.... And you can leave - whenever you want. *points* Through that door, using those keys.
So.. uh - Any questions?

*Luana takes a moment to absorb the information- or at least, what she thinks she heard. Questions start to form in her mind, but then she realizes that she has no idea who she is talking to.*
Hi. *She offers her hand for him to shake.* I'm Luana. What's your name?

*she smiles* You too, Luke. So, um, you said that this Brink, as you call it, just pulls us here whenever it wants. Any idea as to why we're here in the first place?

*Answers with his own interpretation* To test the boundaries of our sanity? No, honestly, I couldn't tell you.
*Luke tries to sober to say the next part.* But, uh, seriously, I should warn you. The people in here are generally alright. I mean, pretty harmless. *thinks about Cora, and laughs a little* Some are funny as hell.
*Luke holds up two fingers.* But that aside. Two things I wish people had told me when -I- first got here. Number one - This place is drama central, so just be ready for a lot of emotional outbursts, cars appearing out nowhere, people crying... And number two....
*Luke major complaint had been that no one had told him about the danger of the Brink. That no one had warned him. But how does he tell her about the Seraphim? How the ******** does he tell this kid about the Seraphim?*
Number two, just get used to using that key I talked to you about. This place can be alright... But it's dangerous too.

*Luke is thankful for the distraction.* Heeeey, Captain! *salutes him lazily with his Margarita* What's goin on, man?
*nods to Luana and points to Cross* This is Captain Cross. Terror of the High Seas.
Captain Cross. Luana. Newly appointed member of the Brink.
