"I insist. First drink is always free after all. Policy of the owner." The mysterious man said as the bartender put a glass on the bar and filled it with whiskey, passing it to the mysterious man
"Thanks, Rose." The man said, gulping the drink down and slamming the glass down

"I'll assume your just being kind and not tryin to get somethin out of me like the last guy." [b][i]He says laughing a bit as he looked at the mysterious man, his eye activating, seeing if the man next to him was a magic user[/i][/b]. "Though I owe enough debts already, I'd rather not make one more."
-
Indeed, the man was a tainted yellow through the newcomer's augmented eye. He was a magic user. "How would you owe a debt if the drink is free?" The man asked, finally extending a hand towards the newcomer "I'm Roy by the way."
-
"No one gives kindness without expecting reimbursement. I've learned that over the years." [b][i]He says, laughing a bit. He extended a hand[/i][/b] "Dean DeCorbin, A.M.S.U. Alberta Division. By chance you wouldn't happen to know where the -blam!- on God's green Earth I am?"
-
"Well you're not on earth, that's for sure. Welcome to the planet Takatai, hellhole where gods go to die. Or people come to become gods."
-
"So your telling me, that I'm on a different planet? Excuse me for not quite believing you." [b][i]He says, making his disbelief clear to the man.[/i][/b]
-
"Rose, pull it up." "Yes sir." Rose, the bartender, went over to one of the TVS and pressed a button. An image of the Milky Way galaxy was shown, with Takatai being highlighted, but no signs of earth anywhere
-
"That map has to be -blam!-ed up, where the hell is Earth. Yknow, third planet from the sun, next to mars, kinda supports all known life?"
-
"Earth was destroyed. Last year. Zoom in Rose." Roy said, and the bartender nodded, zooming In to where earth would be. It was true. Where earth once was, nothing more than chunks of land floating through the air.
-
"Bullshit. I was there 2 hours ago. I was doin my job, hunting a witch." [b][i]He says.[/i][/b] "You telling me that I was thrown actress -blam!-ing timelines?"
-
"Yeah. Most likely scenario would be that this witch or whatever punched you through timelines."
-
[b][i]He looks at the tender.[/i][/b] "Yeah, open a damn tab. I'm gonna need to drink till I can understand what the -blam!- just happened. Damn. Knew witches were powerful but not that powerful."
-
"You got it" Rose turned away from the two, working on the tab as Roy clapped the newcomer on the back "It's alright."
-
[b][i]The man raised a hand to stop it, instinctively reaching for his pistol knowing what the man was. He stopped his hand midway to his gun, before putting both elbows on the table, rubbing his temples.[/i][/b] "Sorry. Reflexes, just used to being on the job 24/7."
-
"Yeah, it's alright." Roy said awkwardly, placing his hands on the bar. "Sorry to have to be the one break it to you..."
-
"More glad someone finally told me if the 4 people I've asked." [b][i]He says laughing a bit.[/i][/b] "Seems so far this place isn't too different from back home though."
-
"It's not. Actually, quite a bit like earth once you get used to it."
-
"Though I need to get back. I've got an unsettled grudge with a certain Witch that needs finishing. And it isn't the one that sent me here."
-
"How do you plan on getting back is the problem." Roy said
-
"I'll find another Witch and threaten to blow their head three weeks from tomorrow away if they don't figure it out. I got here cause if a Witch, and I'll get back the same way. I've got enough evidence to say there's ones around. Closer than I may think."
-
"Don't go around threatening. Try to make friends. I know you probably hate witches, but the consequences of threatening one could be severe."
-
"I don't intend to stick around long, but that's probably a good idea. Just don't go killing people and I won't have to do my job."
-
"Nobody here kills. If you kill, you're thrown out. Unless it's a fair fight."
-
"Good. Guess this is kinda like a vacation then." [b][i]He says laughing a bit[/i][/b]
-
"Yeah, a vacation. Let's go with that I suppose
-
"As close to one as I'll ever get."
