barring emergencies

[the_very_best]

Bella's not sure where she has wandered. She thought she was about to walk into a shop, but this appears to be an unattended bar. With none of the windows associated with the shop she thought she was entering. It could be an elaborate psychic assault of some kind, but it doesn't feel very... assault-y... and she was in the middle of a town and doesn't think any humans want to sic their 'mon on her. It's strange. She approaches the bar, looking around warily, hand hovering near her belt.

Maxwell Wax intended to enter Brenda's for a cup of coffee. Or... to stare at people and surf the web, actually, but ostensibly to get a cup of coffee, which he didn't actually want. This intention does not match what happens when he walks through the door.

The first thing he notices is that Brenda's has installed a new floor. This is weird, he reasons, because he would expect a complete floor remodeling to take some construction time and not be flawlessly installed overnight. He lifts his eyes from the floor to look around for signs of construction having been hastily cleaned up.

...Well, all this has nothing to do with that hypothesis at all. The windows are different, that's odd, there's new tables and chairs and a new bar and, come to think of it, a new floor plan, and new interior dimensions, and also new exterior scenery and oh boy this is not new decoration at ALL, is it. He must have walked into the wrong... no, no, that's... the street outside, to the best of his recollection, looked really nothing like exploding stars at all, whereas the view from this Wrong Brenda's... differs substantially in that respect.

He is standing in the doorway looking back and forth between the street and the inside of this entirely different coffee shop. Perhaps he thinks that if he looks between them enough times, everything will suddenly begin to make sense.

A pair of... people... walk in the same door that brought her.

One is wrapped in green leafy vines, in a roughly symmetrical pattern that just about barely conceals the parts of him that humans are expected to. He has more vines sprouting from his back, arranged in the shape of wings, with long feathery leaves. They move and stretch like real limbs. Tiny green tendrils twine through his hair.

The other has a similar height and general build, but a completely different peculiarity: he is wrapped in lightning. It crawls over his skin in tight crackling arcs and spreads out from his back and shoulders into wings shaped roughly like the vine man's, although the limitations of the medium mean that you can't really claim these ones have feathers.

Sabrina is having an argument with her sister while walking. "I cannot even begin to tell you how wrong you are. I need to invent at least ten new words, that's how..."

She stops. She's sure she went trough a door that leads to a hallway, not.... where ever this is.

She turns to Ann. "Was there always a bar here or did I suddenly go insane?"
