For a little over a week Hal had been there. He'd only met Sam, who had set him up with a place to stay and ever since he'd been trying to reaching Oa with absolutely no luck. His cellphone worked but all the numbers he tried said they were out of service. Things were just weirder and weirder as time went on. He'd watched some TV to at least get an idea of the goings on in this planet. The second he'd seen something about vampires on the actual news he'd spit the beer he'd been drinking everywhere. For some reason that surprised him. Aliens didn't anymore but vampires being around did.
For the first time since he'd gotten the trailer he ventured out into town, the minimal things he'd had in the fridge were gone and he needed to eat. Stepping inside Merlotte's he took a seat at the bar and ordered a drink and a burger.
