Out of Milliways: a set visit

[the_antiangst]

Santa Fe's quite warm this time of year, but it's a drier heat than what Angel remembers from New York. In any case, it certainly looks the part for Holy Wood.
"Okay, a movie set really shouldn't be that hard to find, especially out here. And once we get there, I doubt we'll have any problems."

"Guilty as charged," she says, still a bit dry. "You, too. And this can be blamed on me via similar method that got Angel to the Oscars."

Well, that's as clear as mud, isn't it?

"...Oh, so you're from the bar. That explains a bit." Meredith knows to keep her voice down when the place comes up in conversation, especially when the restaurant's this crowded.

"That she is." Angel shrugs. "Family's a funny thing like that."

"Yup." Mark grins. "Angel'd already adopted her before she and I really started talking." He smiles at Sara, a rather beaming expression.

"When in doubt, blame Milliways. The six-degrees of separation game gets really interesting there." She grins at Mark.

"I bet it does. Let me guess, there's a... Ghostbuster in there or something."

"More than one, I think. And really, that's a mundane option."

"...I'd accuse you of kidding, but you're probably not."

"Oh, yeah. Ray and I have talked quite a lot, actually." Mark smiles, innocently serious, taking Sara's hand under the table.

"One of my good friends is a sentient rock," Sara says idly, squeezing Mark's fingers. "Another married a childhood hero of mine."

"...That's just weird."

"Very weird," Angel agrees. "Wouldn't have it any other way, though. And hey, I can say I've been to a royal wedding now."

"I filmed that royal wedding." Mark grins. "It's all really really strange, but hey. It's really worth it in the long run."

"Ah yes. We're all good friends of the Queen in question, but we've also been reliably informed that we will suffer painful consequences if we ever bow to her," she says cheerfully, picking up her glass of tea.

Angel shrugs. "Why stand on ceremony when she could kick its ass into next month?"

"...I'm just not gonna ask," Meredith manages, after a few moments.

"Probably for the best."

[lvpd_sidle]

"It's generally the wisest policy as far as that is concerned."

[bohemian-mark.livejournal.com]

"Exactly. It's Milliways. Most everything related to it really can't be explained."

[the_antiangst]

"Sounds like."
The waitress returns with food, and Meredith gets up. "I should probably leave you guys to your lunch. Nice meeting you, Sara."

Angel shakes his head, as Meredith heads off. "And the other three will know about that by dinner."

[lvpd_sidle]

"Well, she at least had functioning brain cells unlike the vapid idiot Mark and I encountered at the Life."

"These girls are actually quite sharp. One of the four of them is helping with the film." He smiles. "There are a pack of idiots out there, though."

[the_antiangst]

"Well, yeah. You get idiots in most things. But these girls learn quickly, so it works out."

[lvpd_sidle]

"True. I remember the night we had a camera crue from one of the crime shows following us around. Mark, you would have punched those guys."

[bohemian-mark.livejournal.com]

"Oh god." Mark makes a face. "TV people make me want to hurl. Let me guess, they wanted you to play everything up for the camera, and they got in the way."

[the_antiangst]

"People are so weird sometimes."

[lvpd_sidle]

"Oh yes. But even worse--they tried sticking their cameras in the face of a rape victim who had just been brought to the hospital."
