[GP] Check-In Day: What a nice surprise; bring your alibis

[st_alksthroughwalls]

Every check-in day conjured memories of her first, and all of the others, which inevitably meant she spent the day with Lara on her mind, and Petey, Illyana, and Wyatt. She'd been blessed with dear friends and loves arriving, and yet she never stopped hoping she'd figure out the mess that was this pocket universe and get home.

It was starting to become complicated, though, almost a year later. It would hurt to lose the people she'd grown fond of here, almost as much as it would be good to get home. She didn't know what to do with that feeling, but it was what it was. All she could do was tend the bar with patience and understanding, and keep an eye on the readings her crude energy measuring devices out on the road sent to her.

For all the people that came in and out, it was a quiet day. So between drinks, she spent most of it bent over a notebook with a cup of coffee in her hand, trying to design better instruments to dismantle Yana's shackles. Maybe Percy could help her build them.

Coby shook his head slowly. None of those names meant anything to him. "Never heard of them. Sorry, if they're friends of yours. And I don't know. None of us knew we were coming, but all of us had a room in our names. Something or somebody has to be behind it, but nobody knows who."

"You seem like a nice man. So I will tell you--" Lillith leaned in, voice dropping to a conspiratorial low. "If you ever hear those names, you would best served to remove yourself from this place. They are no one's friends." Not even their own.

The hint of uneasiness in Coby's gut got stronger at her insistence. "I'll remember.

"Were you in some kind of trouble, where you were?"

"Let us leave it at, there was a disagreement over a matter of inheritance," she replied, less cagey than not wishing to involve him in a quarrel between three warlocks and a wizard, and all of them with fangs and claws. "I have been safe for some time, but such things..." She shrugged expressively. "You understand, yes?"

Coby was quiet a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, I think I get it. Enough anyway.

"If it helps, I'm sorry you got dragged here with the rest of us, but I'm looking forward to getting to know you, once you've had a chance to get your bearings."

"I also will look forward to knowing you."

And then with a tip of her head and a sweet smile, she stood from the table. "As much as I wish to stay and enjoy your kindness longer, the realities must be faced. My thanks, Coby."

"My pleasure, Lilli. I'm in 182. Building three," he offered as she stood to go. "If want to talk some more sometime."
