Where: Dublin House.
What: Drinkin' time.
Rating/status: TBD.

New York City. That was the name people gave to this place. There were no domes (at least, none that he could see) but the names of the streets and rivers rang familiar to Roger. If his own world had been indeed created by some high power, it had been based on this New York City.

The old building he once called home was nowhere to be found, so after driving around for a few hours, the first thing he had done was find a temporary place to stay. The hotel he had chosen was small, but it had enough amenities to almost make up for the lack of the luxury he enjoyed back home - not to mention he had been able to negotiate an excelent deal with the manager. It would do for now.

His next order of business had been to learn more about this New York City. A few conversations in the hotel lobby lead him this place, a place not too fancy and that now filling slowly with regulars. Good, Roger thought. He would try the most upscale places as he learned about the city. But for now, he only wanted to relax and get some information.

Roger ordered a beer and settled a small table against the wall for himself. He sipped slowly, listening to conversations and keeping an eye out for anything unusual.

Castiel's position was a strange one—a very strange one. Even for an angel, it was not every day that one found oneself, quite suddenly and inexplicably, no longer oneself as one remembered it to be only yesterday. The vessel that contained his celestial essence had changed without so much as a polite hello. Not to speak of the essence itself, which was plainly from a different time, though when, precisely, could not be said.

There were Travellers from the future, yes, some even from alternate futures or from the opposite direction entirely in the linear representation of time. But none, so far as he had seen, shared his predicament. Was he from the future or was he not? If he was, then how was it that he could recall yesterday as it had been and nothing of his own time?

Whilst pondering these thoughts, he felt the Good Samaritan at his elbow. His thoughts were already long gone from the drunk, so it was a moment before he caught on to the fact that the mediator was complimenting him on a job well done. "We do not negotiate," was the content of a very blunt press release. His face remained ever inscrutable without a wink of movement staining it.

	We? Roger glanced around. The man seemed to be alone. He took a sip of his drink, frowned and placed it back on the table before gesturing at the bartender for another one. "I guess that leaves more work for me," he said casually. "I'm Roger Smith and I'm a professional negotiator." He paised, waiting for the man to introduce himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Castiel said nothing for a moment, silently (a little creepily, one might think) regarding this professional negotiator who called himself Roger Smith.

"You are not from this time," he observed bluntly, when he spoke at last. He stared intently at the negotiator, radiating with a solemnity best befit Holy Communion than a casual drink down at the pub. "Perhaps you recognise this face?" It was a long shot, but as of now, the Travellers were his only leads.

Roger was used to long pauses. He remained calm and casual, at least on the outisde. He did raise an eyebrown when the man pointed out Roger's situation.

"I guess you could say that," Roger said coolly. He studied the man's face carefully. "And I'm afraid I've never seen you before. Or at least I don't remember." Roger's memories were still blurry at points and he'd rather leave them that way. But he couldn't help wondering who the stranger was.

	"That is unfortunate," Castiel remarked in the same monotoned gravity, but did not appear to be affected by the response for the better or for the worse. Having learnt nothing of import, he was of the mind to part ways when the negotiator's addendum about not remembering caught his attention. "Do you regularly experience problems with your memory?"

	"Just like everyone else," Roger said, frowning slightly. Could this man know about Paradigm? "I'm afraid I didn't catch your name." (Reply to this) (Parent)
