*Maggie flickers in, her hair pinned back off her face, flour on her hands and across the bridge of her nose*
*blinks, seeing her baking has vanished* Oh . . .
*raises her head, revealing weary eyes, but at least doesn't look as panicked as she did the last few times she appeared*
*glances around the room, seeing Cora, a new person, and . . .*
. . . Tavin . . .

*fades on in*
*Luke realizes where he is...*
*looks around, sees two familiar faces and a newcomber...*
*sits down at the bar* Hey. What's going on?

*Tavin flips a page in his book, reading peacefully while he hums Bach to himself*

*uneasily looks around the room quickly, noting the looks he's getting from everyone*
*assumes introducing himself couldn't be that bad, after all, we were just all put in this place.... they can't be too surprised that another person is here... he stands up*
I'm uh, Haelous. I was thrown in here while chasing some people, and sort of put a little hole in your wall. Sorry about that.
*feeling more self concious then ever, he sits back down on the bar stool looking away from everyone*

:::Cora staggers towards Luke...unbelieving:::
:::When she reached him, she grabbed his shoulders, trying not to let her knees fail...:::
Luke...you are not dead!
:::She sobbed into his chest, uncontrolably:::

*Tavin waves towards Haelous, not even bothering to look away from the book*
Hey, Haelous. If you have any questions, feel free. I'm just reading up on..... something.

Sorry about that. *feeling more self concious then ever, he sits back down on the bar stool looking away from everyone* *Luke looks over.* *after a few moments, he offers his hand* Luke. Don't worry. When it comes to "getting thrown in here", you're in good company.

*tears her gaze away from Tavin as others address her, nodding to Cora and Luke, then turning to the newcomer*
*clears her throat awkwardly, seemingly having a hard time finding her voice* Er . . . greetings te ye, Haelous . . . I . . I'm Margaret Dowling. *bobs a curtsy* Or Maggie, if ye'd rather . . .

*looks over at Luke, pauses but then shakes his hand*
Thanks. Very good to know. Just a little awkward, I'm sure you realize...
*bows slightly to Maggie, assuming it's the proper thing to do*
Uhm, 'greetings' to you as well.
*smiles at Tavin*
Thanks, but I could write a book on what's running through my head right now, perhaps a moment to sort myself out...

Serenis :::Cora staggers towards Luke...unbelieving::: :::When she reached him, she grabbed his shoulders, trying not to let her knees fail...::: Luke...you are not dead! :::She sobbed into his chest, uncontrolably::: *Luke stops, mouth gapping open. His arms go up, and for a moment, he sits...confused. At a loss for what to do, he pats her shoulder. She's bawling for Christ's sake.* No....No, I'm not... I'm, uh, feeling perfectly fine. *He looks around to each of the patrons, as if to ask 'what the ********?'*

*Tavin lets out a laugh*
Write a book on this place, eh? Yeah. I've got that covered. Although frankly I don't think that a book'll quite cover THIS place. More like an Encyclopedia.
*Tavin lets out a sigh, knowing full well that he'd have to acknowledge Maggie very soon. He just wasn't certain how to do it just yet, so he kept pretending to read*

:::Amid sobs:::
I...watched you die... ::Sob::: I watched Officer Tac when he...:::Sob::: You were gone..! I'm so sorry, please forgive me! I couldn't protect you..
:::Sobbing continued...Cora felt like her soul had been twisted into a knot. Was this torture, did she have to face the first person she'd ever failed her entire life:::

*Despite her concern for what's going on with Cora, there seems to be no immediate trouble, so she turns her attention back to Tavin*
*takes a breath, mustering her courage, and walks over towards him, stopping about a foot or so away from him and staring resolutely at her feet* I . . . I . . . *tries to get the words out around the lump in her throat* I'm sorry . . .
