[i]"What...happened to the Earth here?"[/i] Sandra was asking.

John had to think about it. "Well, hmm. I'm not sure, actually. That was a long a time ago. The sun has blown up---oh, don't worry about it. All stars do that, eventually. But people have found a way to travel to other stars, so in away, I guess there's plenty of other Earth-like in the Galaxy." He smiled at the thought. "Say, you need to travel more, Miss! The universe is much bigger than that little blue-green planet."   

At around that time, another newcomer walked into a bar. A ghost, from the waist up, and mechanical from the waist down. He hovered around, seemingly too nervous to settle down.

He was also looking very curiously at John. The barkeep was not very used to being stared at, except maybe by drunkards or troublemakers or undercover police who's trying too hard at finding their target. The newcomer didn't seem to be any of them. In fact, he looked nervous and awkward and possibly perfectly harmless. 

When he came up front and extended his hand, John shook it and beamed a welcoming smile.

"Welcome to the Restaurant. Please, just make yourself comfortable. If the drunk telepath is bothering you too much," John gave a piercing glare to the dragon amoeba, "just tell me, so I have a reason to limit his alcohol intake." He smiled again and fiddled around with some glasses. "And, what can I get you?"

Right behind him, the door opened once more and another newcome came in. The figure was short and covered entirely in fabric. John was quick to repeat his line, "Welcome to the Restaurant!"
