"I made it to the rage phase," Sloan says coolly, leaning in nice and close to get a good photo of Scott with her phone. He looks terrible, writhing in pain on the floor with blood streaming out of his nose.
Good. Asshole deserves it.
Spinning on her heels, Sloan exits the board room and crosses the waiting room, where Don (good pal that he is) is waiting. Scott's $400 wing tips stomp across the floor as he follows her, but Sloan doesn't slow down or even look back. Don has her covered.
As she looks down at the photo on her phone (which she is strongly considering making the wallpaper on her work computer), a triumphant smile appears on her face.
The rage phase feels good.
Exhaling slowly, Sloan pushes open the door to the stairwell and steps through, knowing Don will catch up in a minute.
Eyes flicker up from the phone's screen and widen.
"Okay, maybe not," she mutters to herself. The stairwell that she knows is supposed to be there just isn't. There's a bar, but it doesn't look like any bar she's ever been to. Whirling around, incredibly confused, she turns the knob on the door she just came through. When it opens, she sees nothing familiar, not the hall she just came down, no Don waiting for her, nothing.
Stifling back one of those laughs that tend to bubble up when you panic, Sloan swallows heavily and looks around.
It had been a hell of a day and she was in a bar. Maybe a drink wouldn't hurt.
Besides, after the day she's had, Sloan figures she deserves one.

Tonight is one of the nights he comes alone. He goes to the bar and orders a drink and it's only then that he realizes that Sloan is here, too. He hasn't seen anyone else from ACN here. This is a first. "Put her on my tab," he tells the bartender, and takes a seat beside Sloan.

and then curses. "Sonofabitch," she mutters, and then rubs furiously at the spot on her arm she just pinched.
"I thought I was dreaming," she informs Will. "But I guess I'm not, unless you and I are doing some strange beta testing for a demented theme park with shared dreaming attractions, not that anything like that exists but you never know, right?"
As soon as the bartender places a drink in front of her, Sloan takes a huge gulp. "What the hell, Will?"

For a moment she grows silent, swirling her glass on the counter top. On one hand, this situation is unbelievably cool and interesting, but on the other it's messed up. Like, messed up messed up.
"Is anyone else here, or is it just the two of us?"

The snort of laughter has barely left his lips before he feels something that has is other senses perking right the hell up. Whatever's driving this chick, her emotions are strong.
He turned to find the source and took a deep breath then shot the woman a smile. "You look like you need this more than I do," he said, holding his glass up.

Worrying her lower lip, her eyes shoot toward the doorway. This whole situation is so bizarre and unreal; she almost wonders if she's going insane.
"Do you know what's going on here?" she asks, eyes sidling back to her companion.

"There's a long version and a short one. Got a preference?"

He's ninety-three years old, has had countless children, and has made love to an obscene amount of beautiful women. He has sex and gorgeous women down to an art and so when a new gorgeous vision walks into the bar, Olaf is quick to lean over and pour her a drink, making one for himself at the same time since it's only decent.
He reclines back, his hawaiian shirt open to the breeze and offers out a glass of scotch. "A fine drink for a fine woman?" he offers with an easy smile.

"Sure, thank you," she says, accepting the glass with an appreciative nod.
Offering her free hand, she adds, "I'm Sloan."
