Suddenly K feels a little better about his surroundings. First he wasn't welcome then he was in danger. But now that he's shaken a hand, it seems to be a little easier. He's also pretty happy that there aren't 20 people jumpinmg at him to tie his shoes. Frankly, he's tired of being treated like royalty in his own time and is glad that some one is being down to earth with him, even though thats the last place they are.
He moves from Luke and towards Cora, extending his hand to her as well. "Cora, its an honor to meet you as well"

:::Cora remembers the hand shake gesture vaguely, and having just seen K and Luke do it, she repeats after them:::
:::But she is more concerned about what K thinks after Luke's little speech:::
K, please do not be alarmed, but...what Luke is saying my be right. There are many things about this place we do not understand, and it does not go without its level of danger. :::She thinks::: But I find that it has its purpose, and I have seen that everyone in here is learning something. For that I give it the utmost respect. I hope that you will do the same.

"I guess I can try."
He takes a look at her warily, the strange clothes kind of erk at him, wondering what he got himself into. She was very beatiful though, and he appreciated that kind of thing
"But I uh- I'm still very confused" Takes a look around at the bar, the chairs and talbes, door, keys...Jaguar.

*Luke gives a short, humorless laugh.*
All I can say, man is - Get used to it.

:::Cora makes a 'tsk' noise at Luke's comment... but I suppose he's got a point:::
Well, to begin :::She motions as she goes::: This is the bar. Right over there you will find any beverage you can think of, and what seems to be an endless supply of it, which a few of us tend to take advantage of. :::She's thinking of Cross when she says it:::
Over there is a hallway that leads to what we call the library. There are many recepticles of information, held in the form of paper bound together to form books. Perhaps you are familiar with them.
These here are the keys. When you appear here, a key that belongs to you appears as well. They either open this door, which leads you back to your time, or they open a door down that hall. Through that door is a room that is suited to your preferences.

"Oh, uhm..." He feels strange explaining it. "I am from the year 2019 EE." He sort of forces the word 'when' "When are you all from?"

:::Cora looks at him strangly:::
I am from 3125...but I have never heard of an EE era. Perhaps you are from a different world altogether?

Heh...could be. Luke, what time or place are you from?

*Out of habit, Luke starts to say Philadelphia, but... Number one - there's little chance that this guy will understand. Number two... As he had come to learn, there were others listening...*
2002. *adds* AD.

"Wow" He lets out a bit of verbal amazement. "And here we all are. Is this for real? Why? Why do people like us get brought here?"

:::Cora looks over at Luke, momentarily putting the new member aside...she hadn't had a change to appologize for her anger, and neither did he. She decided it was best not to procede though in front of K:::
:::As she spoke, she walks over to the bar, still parched from way back when she woke up:::
None of us really know why we're brought here, but I'd like to believe that we will understand it in time. As for myself, it has given me a new outlook on life.
:::She didn't mention that the outlook she spoke of was a very sad one. She sorted through the bottles of wine looking for something she was in the mood for:::
K, would you like something to drink?

*Luke had frowned deeply at the question asked. He stared at K, shaking his head. Sure it was all wonder and amazement now.... But just wait, he wanted to tell him. It all fades ******** fast when the death threats start to fly...*
*A headache pinches his temple. Luke holds the bridge of his nose, and absent-mindedly follows Cora to the bar.... God, what was he doing here?*

K snapped a bit. "I can get it myself, thank you" His back stiffens when he realizes that he wasn't home, and that he was awfuly rude to talk like that.
"I-I'm sorry. You were only being polite. I am quite unappreciative of being waited upon, I didn't mean to be offensive. But I am fine, thank you."
All the while, he's observed the tension between Luke and Cora, something seemed very unnatural to them. K was good at reading things like that. He wondered what it was about, but wouldn't pry.

:::Cora watched as Luke came with her behind the bar, it hurt her that they were not acting as friendly as they should be. It hurt a lot...she was starting to understand what Nyx was saying about love...and what Tavin mentioned about rose thorns:::
:::She snapped out of it for K:::
No worries, K. If anything, you'll find that most the people here are very understanding of the discriminatory factors caused by gaps in time and culture. What is it like in your world?

*Luke stared off into space, lost in his own thoughts...*
*As he stood there frowning, he faded into thin air.*
