"Nothing extremely time sensitive per se is currently going on on the other side of my door but if I stay here long enough to investigate the possibility of solving some problems with otherworldly intervention I would probably be gone long enough for my absence mid-thing-I-was-doing to be inexcusable."

He approaches the bar - receives a napkin - jumps, winds up in a heap on the floor.

"My apologies for forgetting to warn you about Bar. She's very friendly once you get to know her."

"All right." He picks himself up. ...He deliberates, then seems to decide that maybe the polite way to communicate with a napkin-dispensing bar is likewise with napkins. That or he just wants privacy. Bar seems happy enough to talk that way. It is not obvious how he is producing the napkins.

"Magic?" he wonders idly.

"Yeah. You have any where you're from?"

Permalink

"None that I know of."

Permalink

"Oh well."

"Why, did you need more magic for something?"

Permalink

"Yep. Mine has some limitations that are not currently working for me."

Permalink

"Well, I wish you the best of luck."

Permalink

"Thanks. You just here for the waffles?" he asks, glancing at the plate.

Permalink

He sighs.

"No, as exceptional as the waffles are, it's more that I don't have anywhere better to be."

"...wormholes are things where you go in one and pop out another very far away, yes? It's a science fiction thing where I'm from but I've heard the word. What's a uterine replicator?"

Permalink

"Yes. A uterine replicator is an artificial womb."

Permalink

 

"Yikes."

Permalink

"...that's not the normal reaction."
