Caritas [Sunday evening]

Robin figured tonight would be busy to a ridiculous degree, given how many people were going to want to be drinking after waking up, or in celebration...or whatever. That being said, she wasn't exactly willing to have Benton out of her sight so soon after getting him back.

So they'd taken the dogs back to their apartment and tucked them in, and when they'd gotten to the bar (hand-in-hand, which caused Tino to make little gagging faces and Robin to subsequently throw a dish of peanuts at him), Robin'd set him up on a barstool where she could keep an eye on her newly-uncomatose boyfriend.

That being said, she was already checking her stock of vodka, tequila, and whiskey. There would probably be some shots being done tonight.

"I don't know if I'll sleep tonight," he told her after she'd given him something to drink. "I apologize in advance."

"You should have slept," he chastised softly. "It's not like I was doing anything meaningful."

Not in this reality, at least.

"I wasn't really here," he explained, shaking his head. "My body was, my mind wasn't."

"Some other version of Fandom," he said, shaking his head and still seeing glimpses of that place when he blinked. "It was...not good."

"No, it's just...vivid." He shook his head and threaded his fingers through hers. "It was an island overrun by vampires and I wish I was kidding."

Pasta had gone down better than expected. It still didn't taste like anything but sawdust, but the company had made it go down a lot easier.

Now, however, they were at Caritas and she was getting something she could enjoy.

"Drinks on me," she insisted as they sat and she put in her order for a double of whiskey.

"Just beer for me," he said, still trying to work stiffness and soreness out of his legs and arms by shaking them and rotating them. "Jesus, this is going to put a cramp in my style."

Griff ordered the same and rested his chin in his hand, arm propped on the table. "Your style can take a few days off," he suggested. "I don't know how I'm so tired."

Probably because he hadn't actually slept in any of that time.

"If you weren't actually dreaming, your brain would think you were still awake and act accordingly. While your body was unable to move and you were 'asleep', I would bet that your brain was running at normal, awake, levels."

She shrugged.

"Just a guess, though. No one's asleep, I don't think, and I don't think anyone took readings."

"Tired or not," he said (and he was kind of tired), "I don't know if I'm sleeping tonight. I don't fucking need to be seeing that place again for a long time."

"Cheers to that," Griff agreed, raising his freshly given glass to Alex. "Though I do find myself wondering what's happening there now."

She chucked back a good portion of her own drink, smiling at how it burned straight through the taste, and shrugged.

"I don't know much about it. But I can guess it's better."

"It...wasn't nice," he said and slanted a look at Griff. "I'd rather be back here where people hate me but aren't trying to kill me."

"I'm sort of glad I don't have the option, considering how things started going today," he replied, turning toward Fiona a little to explain further. "I, uh, nearly got ripped apart today by some gels because they thought I'd killed their friend."

Fiona eyed him carefully for a moment.

"Here? Or in that other world?"
