[The Perk, Thursday Afternoon]

Ellen got a vanilla latte at the counter, then grabbed a newspaper and sat at a table near the door. It was gorgeous and sunny out, so she meant to take advantage of the nice weather, at least as far as justifying a day of goofing off and doing nothing but trying to solve 59-across (four letter word for an amorous gaze?).

[ooc: open for all your Perkish needs!]

Giles came in and order a coffee and a chocolate danish before settling at a table with a book.

"No, I've only been in town for a couple of weeks. Rupert Giles," he introduced himself. "I own the Magic Box that just opened up."

"Store name," Giles said with a smile. "Though I suppose it is a bit boxlike and contains quite a bit used for magic so could be taken literally as well."

"A little. When necessary. I used to do a lot more when I was younger. Some of it... didn't end well."

"Indeed." Giles smiled. "Instead you find entirely new ways to screw things up."

"It's not really all that different from where I left in a lot of ways," Giles replied. "Even down to being populated by the same people. Alternate dimension versions, but the same people."

"At last count, four. And apparently, there was another me here earlier as well."

"So I've been informed. Several times. It's... a little unsettling to tell the honest truth."

"I've encountered people from an alternate reality of my own before," Giles explained. "Just never myself. Also, I've dealt with trolls -- or a troll at least -- and while I was never turned into a kid, I did get turned back into a teenager by eating cursed chocolate once."

Giles shrugged a little. "I used to live on a Hellmouth," he explained.
