Ike couldn't help overhearing Elriss' conversation, as she tried and failed to keep her voice down. He wondered if there really was someone in the woods outside, possibly in need of help. "Guys? It seems Elriss is looking for someone who may or may not be here." He whispered. "Should we do something to help the person?"

<<A host?>> Kellim wonders. <<Surely this creature isn't a Yeerk. No Yeerk can live that long, not to mention no Yeerk has had a human host for as long as he claims.>>

<<Time is funny here, Kellim,>> Gene sighs. <<I really have no idea what we're dealing with. Best to be on our guard.>>

"Hey, we're all mad here, aren't we?" Gene responds to Mar with a small smile, pleased at how at ease he is feeling, talking to truly strange strangers. "Well, like I was telling Ike over here, I'm from the same place as that guy at the bar. The stoic one with the thin face and the messy short hair. He doesn't seem to recognize me, though; either that or he's deliberately ignoring me." He lifts a shoulder. "Hard to say. But I grew up in southern California." Gene raises a peace sign, adding blandly, "Like, totally."

Elriss furrows her brow, thinking hard. After a moment, she says, "I think I saw something about that. A report or something I musta read." She finishes off her redin and sets the glass on the table, considering getting another. "An Andalite host... an' a Sub-Visser named Zorish..." She really should remember a report that... unique, but it's something she probably barely skimmed many, many months ago, and at the time it hadn't been any of her concern. She shakes her head, "I 'ave to check my database."

"Wha' is it that makes this Terenia-no-designation so important?" she asks, setting her chin on her hands with her elbows on the table and looking at him with interest.

"The fact that she has an Andalite host, for one," Haviss says. "The fact that popular theory is that she kidnapped the Sub-Visser, for another. The rest is...complicated, and you would have to see the memory dumps to believe it." He shakes his head a little, running a hand through his brown hair. "Terenia was born human, somehow encountered Andalite morphing technology, and became permanently trapped in Yeerk form. Zorish's host is Terenia's biological sister, and I believe she is attempting to free her."

He eyes his emptied beer, turning the glass in his hands. " My own host is her biological brother. I hope to use him to lure her back to the Empire, but so far we have not had much luck locating them. The Sub-Visser is likely dead. I imagine Terenia would have starved him out immediately, but that still leaves the matter of Terenia, her host, and her free human sister. All of which I fully intend on returning to Imperial custody. If I don't..." He doesn't finish the sentence, trailing off.

<<If you don't, they'll kill you slowly, which is more than you deserve,>> his host, Dan Rerin, sneers.

Elriss frowns, trying to follow what Haviss is saying. It confuses her, but even in her current state, she manages to catch the gist of what Haviss is saying. "How does one human woman cause so much trouble?" She sways slightly as she tries to picture her host accomplishing any of that. It's ridiculous. She'd be captured immediately. "Your 'Terenia' mus' be really dangerous... really talented. Still jus' a human, though. I... think I see why you're so intent on catching her. Tha'ss embarrassin' for the Empire." She smiles at Haviss, "We pro... prob'ly have someone watching that invessigation already, but when I get back, I can see if I can lend you any resources."

Haviss smiles. "Thank you," he says sincerely. He gestures for the bartender. "Another beer, and a glass of water, please," he orders politely. The bartender doesn't look impressed by his good manners, but goes to fill the order regardless.

"May I ask what crime this John and Krissit have committed, to have someone of such impressive status hunting them?" he asks, raising his eyebrows, seeming to have no problem using flattery to his advantage.

"Thanks, hon," Elriss says as the bartender sets a glass of water in front of her. It's not entirely clear if she's thanking the bartender or Haviss.

"John, we think, migh' be a member of the Peace Movement. He's an involuntary host. We been watchin' him for a while, hopin' he'd lead us to more members of the Peace Movement. We got an anonymous tip tha' he was makin' a run for it, so we're gonna catch him and do a memory dump, or maybe jus' infest him. Krissit dis... appeared with his host a few months ago from the Visser's interrogation cell. Our amonymous tip said there was reason to believe John got rid of his own Yeerk, Tullem 111, around tha' time, an' that Krissit has been using John as a host an' im... impers... pretending to be Tullem." She takes a sip of her water. Revealing this much information is exhausting. It's a good thing Haviss is so clearly trustworthy. "We think they migh' be spreading the Peace Movement in the main pool. Bu' John saw my guys, an' I wound up being the only one in good enough shape to chase him through the woods." She laughs bitterly. "Bu' don't tell anyone. Tha's classified."

"Interesting," states Mar, although not really interested at all. There were many people in the Bar who knew another patron upon entering, although it was rare that the patron didn't recognize them. Mar turns his head, attempting to intercept the conversation between the two Imperials, and does catch clear reference to a "Terenia." A nasty grin crawls across Mar's face, and then dissipates. "Well. I think I know who they're talking about, at least. Regardless..."

"...if you're from Earth and in this Bar, you could still be anything," says Mar. "And you could be several things other than human. What are you?"

"Hm," Haviss murmurs thoughtfully. "The Peace Movement usually isn't so bold as to make waves." He brushes a hand through his dark hair, sitting back in his chair and sipping at the fresh pint. "You were chasing him through the woods, you say? The woods on Earth? You will have a difficult time finding him here, I'm afraid. You're a long way from Earth, and there's no main pool here. There's no pool at all, or Kandrona, as far as I know, save what's on my ship."

"That all depends on who's asking," Gene says glibly, taking a cue from Kellim as he leans forward, beer in hand. His heart, nevertheless, is hammering away in his throat.

He looks Mar up and down, skeptical. "What are you?"

"Mm, many things," states Mar.  "It seems I am what people make of me." Mar sips the last of his own glass, feeling a bit more willing to indulge in drink. There was so little consequence to anything he did here, after all---- although a part of him disagreed with that statement. He had met Elayne here, and the Andalite War-Prince Ossanlin. He had involved himself in another Highest's war, something he had sworn not to do.

"If you want to know what I actually am, however..." states Mar with a shrug. Might as well tell the man. "....I'm called an angel among humans, or a God. Depending on your belief system. Rather, I am the mortal form of an entity which can only exist because this place is a madhouse. I have barely any power like this, and less influence...so don't bother making any wishes. But at least I make an interesting conversationalist, on occasion."

Gallant Regale had landed in the middle of the forest, and there was no other environment on Earth that he felt less at home in. He was a person who loved the nightlife--- the wine, the women, the sweet smoggy embrace of a good city. Being stranded in the middle of the wilderness wasn't even remotely his idea of a good time, and to make matters worse he had appeared plastered in the mud. "Ugh," states Gallant, slowly lifting himself off and attempting to brush it off. At least it was relatively dry.

Gallant paused, trying to determine exactly how he had gotten out here. He remembered turning in for the night with Philippa at home, with thoughts on his mind about how to restore the ailing fortunes of his family. The Regales lived well, but they were running into severe money troubles and Gallant knew it. It wouldn't be long before the family wouldn't be able to maintain its facade, and it killed him inside. Gallant rubbed his hand through his muddy golden-blonde curls, resembling at the moment more of a dirty blonde-brown. .....blast. There was nothing. Absolutely nothing on how he had arrived here in his memory. 

He checked his clothes. He seemed to be wearing a red vest, brown work pants, suitable boots, and his cravat. His coat was completely missing, and the clothes themselves were odd---- he had gone to bed in his nightwear. Gallant looked around warily for anything familiar, any sign that he had simply sleepwalked off onto the grounds of his house. Gallant scowled. If this whole thing was a joke by ETW, it was in poor taste.

He did see something ahead---- lights not far away from where he was. Gallant grinned---- civilization meant someone could tell him what had happened. He walked steadily through the woods towards the lights.

Ike sat in silence, drinking his scotch and listening to Gene and Mar. He looked around the room, and noticed a piano in the corner. He knew how to play, and walked over to see if it worked. He tapped a few keys, and they worked well enough, and started to play a soft tune on it.

"Don' get me wrong," Elriss replies to Haviss, "this John guy's real quiet about his stuff. He's good. But," she says, raising her glass of water to Haviss in a halfhearted toast, "we're better." She quickly downs the glass of water, only dribbling a little bit on her uniform, and waves to the bartender for another.

"Of course it's Earth," she says, waving a hand dismissively at Haviss. "I jus' ran from over there," she says, turning the same gesture into a vague wave towards the door. "But..." she pauses, apparently thinking quite hard, "It wasn't Earth last time." Her eyes widen a bit as she stares at Haviss. "Huh. Well... even if it's not, somehow, John has to be here too, an' I'll just grab him and walk back to Earth," she waves towards the door. "I gotta feed soon anyway, an' I don' know how much I trust you with that. No offense." She grins to show that she's joking.

"Walk back to Earth?" Haviss echoes, unable to help the small grin that plays over his lips. "That would be quite a feat. If you manage, please tell me how. As for John...well, if I understand this place, which I doubt anyone truly does, it is entirely likely that he is still barreling through the woods on Earth. The bar only brings people here it wishes to bring. If it had no use for John, and use for you...well..." He shrugs. "I have been here many times over the past two years, and no one has ever simply walked to Earth. They have flown, they have opened rifts in the space-time continuum, and they have done all manner of impossible things. No walkers, though."

He takes another, longer sip of his beer. He can tell it is beginning to go to Dan's head. The human has grown quiet, rather than petulant, a sure sign of inebriation. He is always calmer when drunk.

"If you are in need of Kandrona, I have a little to spare," he offers. "I'm afraid I can't afford to give you more than what you would need for one cycle. I am on the tail end of a shipment, and have not been able to contact my Skrit Na resources."

"No, 's alright," says Elriss, holding up her hand. "That doesn't make sense. I walked here. Er... ran here. Why can't I walk back?" The talk of this bar as though it were a thing alive is making her visibly uncomfortable. She stands, apparently with great effort, and nods towards him, "I think it's about time I was going anyway. It's been a treat, talkin' to you, Haviss Four-Seven-Seven of the Kal Reditt Pool. May the Kandrona guide you and give you strength an' all that." She smiles as she turns to walk towards the door, swaying visibly. "I'll see if I can't send some help from the Light your way."
