Knock. Knock.

Who: Seven & Liam
What: A 'first' meeting
Where: The Bar With No Name
When: Sometime after this conversation.
Warnings/Rating: TBD

It was a day later before Liam thought to stop by the other bar. He had never been there before, grabbing his drinks at the Mean Eyed Cat when the desire struck, but now he had a reason. He wouldn't lie, though, about the worry that was bubbling up in his stomach as he struck out in that direction, hands in his pockets, concentrating on just putting one foot in front of the other. Nerves, that's what it was, about meeting this person who had been, at least until recently, a fictional name and personality on the pages of his book.

But now it had jumped off the pages into his life and frankly, Liam didn't know quite what to do about it.

The bar was full of shadows when he stepped in, darker than it was outside, and it took a moment for his eyes to adjust as he hesitated, hovering in the doorway, wondering for a moment if it was simply better to retreat, retreat, retreat.

No, he couldn't do that. Wouldn't do that. So Liam gathered up what courage he had and pressed forward towards the bar to have a seat.

[Cats.

There are cats everywhere near the lake. It seems that every single stray cat in the area has decided to pay a visit, and more than a handful of them can be found near the new houseboat docked at the lake. Lounging, napping, basking in the sun... the cats don't seem to be causing a lot of trouble, but there are a lot of them.

None of the cats seem to be bothered by anyone approaching them.

They're just lounging.

Maybe there's something about the lake that's called them there.]

[A man turns himself in to the Repose Police Department early this morning with claims of attacking a local woman two weeks ago. Police have not yet identified the woman. As if someone coming forward to confess to a previously-unreported crime wasn't strange enough, witnesses say that man was babbling incoherently about fire and witches and how very very sorry he was. Police are currently holding him for a psychiatric evaluation while an investigation into his claims is being made.]

Qu'est-ce qui s'est passé? What happened?
