Wednesday.
- Good morning, Yeti.
- Good morning. - I answered him, his voice was a deep roar, yet strangely gentle, and spoke in human words as usual. - Did you bring a visitor?
- The Visitor is Two Thousand Five Hundred Fifty-Two. Is a necessary test for possible administrative gap.
- Oh, well. I'll ask the Rabbit to prepare you for identification.
- Ah neglected, okay, I can do. - Secretary Yeti laughed politely and gave him a smile full of teeth.
- Welcome, two thousand five hundred fifty-two. I hope you're comfortable, and any problems you just talk to us. - The Yeti directed two fingers to his cap with his security badge. - Be careful inside.
- I will ... - gave him a friendly smile to the Yeti, every second it was harder to believe that this could be a dream. It was too bizarre to leave your normally conservative subconscious. - Thank you.
- Come on. - The girl was already entering the building through the smaller door. - We can not wait for the boss.
The Visitor realized he was referring to the girl just walked through the door. He knew he had used the main entrance because the whole place had an air reception glance and could see several desks, a table of reports and a few doors.
Many things have totally bizarre proportions, there were door five or six meters on all sides, with smaller doors, ceilings of course they were at a height accordingly. From the entrance I could see spending several strange creatures, some of them were familiar (a unicorn, a gargoyle ...) and others were entirely new (kind of horse-lizard-dragon-unicorn, a cat with two tails, a indescribable thing ...), but the fact is that even those who looked human, clearly were not.
A melodious voice coming from his right brought him out of his thoughts.
- Good afternoon, "I can help?
- Ah ... No, it's nothing. - He turned to find the source of the voice with his eyes, and noticed that he came from counter "reports", where he was charged a beautiful woman who appeared to be naked, and whose hair subtly covered anywhere that could give rise to comments. Helplessly approached her, attracted by curiosity and an unknown spell, I knew I should be smiling like an idiot.
- Are you sure? You do not look around here ... - The woman laughed softly, and for a moment the world's newly appointed two five five two fell to his beautiful voice, perfect smile, and how ...
- Tsk, tsk. I can not believe this. - The girl rolled her eyes, and she smiled. - Siren, should know better.
- Good morning! - He said with another laugh playful mermaid. -
come you did not know, sorry. The boy blinked a few times, leaving the spell of her voice, dragged back by a clear memory of his appointment ... Quote it would never happen if this was real. Was undoubtedly the end of his life. - Visiting two thousand five hundred fifty-two - The voice of Secretary him out of his existential crisis. - She is our Receptionist siren and turn in the morning and evening. - Ah ... Good morning. - He smiled politely at the mermaid, now she could and she laughed. - should be more careful in here. Most of us have powers that can be crazy to humans. - She smiled back, and a little water splashed from behind the counter. - I understand ... - The guy went a little curious to discover behind the counter was a tub of water where the siren was of course very seated basis. - Agreed. So go, do not let the delay. It was a pleasure, two thousand five hundred fifty-two, I suppose we will see.
- Likewise. - Went on to say before the Secretary to take him by the hand and began to pull.
- You're a womanizer, huh? - The girl laughed. - Since you arrived, you do nothing to conquer our women.
- C-conquer? - He shuddered at the thought of their experiences. Sexual harassment and then hypnosis, would not imagine that he could continue.
- is a joke, silly. - She rolled her eyes and continued walking and dragging, waving at the two-tailed cat and a creature that looked like a blue turtle, which apparently was trying to flirt with another creature that looked like a turtle but much larger.
- So where are we going?
- On the floor fifty. There are offices of the chief.
- I see ...
- Still calmly taking the medicine ... That's good, if somewhat dangerous.
- Dangerous?
- now someone else will tell you about that. Regulation 3643 section 5 prohibits tell me more about the subject.
- Is there a regulation for everything here? - Visitor joked, trying to reduce the tension and keep the fast pace of your phone.
- Yes, indeed.
- I answered her, and he regretted having asked. They reached the elevator door seconds after leaving them waiting to be closed. She pressed the button "up" and sat back to wait. They were silent as they waited, the young man wanted to come soon, so it was uncomfortable silence.
The elevator took several minutes to arrive.
Sitting on an ice near the door, driving the panel of buttons was a monkey.
not like a normal monkey, of course, but rudeness seemed to him to ask his race, on the other hand, assumed that his work would "lift".
- Hello, girl and tourists. - Health just saw them enter.
- Good morning. - I answered her, smiling. - Let the floor fifty.
- Piso fifty then. - Answered the monkey elevator, staring at the Visitor after pressing the button. - Did you bring a human?
- A visitor. Not even prepared to identify, but will not take long. - Explained it, as the elevator began to rise.
- Maybe you should go first to the thirteenth floor before?
- No, well, you have to see the boss urgently.
- Welcome Guest. And good luck.
- Thanks ... - A pause, the sound of a bell and the elevator stopped.
- Piso five. - Announced the monkey, while a pale man with dark glasses up the elevator, carrying a police badge. - Vampire Hello, how are the ladies?
- It gives me grace. - The vampire frowned, and walked to the bottom of the elevator, leaning in a corner. - At the fourteenth floor.
- fourteenth floor then. - The monkey laughed (a laugh that could be expected from a common mono who can not speak), and pressed the button.
- Good morning, vampire. - The girl smiled maliciously. - Have you could wash off the glitter of the clothes?
- No, I could not, and still give me grace. - I answered him a look.
- floor thirteen. - Announced the monkey, as the door opened with its corresponding bell and be about two meters tall, human and bull mix up the elevator. - Good morning Minotaur, your boss you still alive?
- He has not attempted suicide in months now. - Answered the Minotaur accommodating lenses.
- And those are good or bad news? - Asked the girl from his place.
- do not know. - The Minotaur laughed. - The twenty-second floor please.
- Flat twenty-two, understood. - Another bell. - Condo fourteen ...
The elevator ride took exactly thirty-two minutes.
During that time, over ten different things happened, vampire, minotaur, unicorn, and a tiny fairy which were recognized. Others do not even know existed (like a dwarf to knock the monkey menehune and a creature that looked like a warthog and whose name still could not understand) and a few other things that cost you describe (as one of them looked like a gelatin, but with an angry face and whose name sounded like a bubble).
The truth is that after that trip, he only had two things clear ... First, this was beyond the capacity of your imagination could no longer be a dream. Second, was the end of his life in the normal world. If out of here one day, would have lost your appointment for ever ... And after seventeen days gathering will be to invite! I knew I should have spoken before. I knew he would regret their mistake.
- Flat fifty. - Announced the monkey as the door opened, interrupting the second day existential crisis. - Perhaps you should have taken the express elevator?
- And lose the chance to meet everyone? - She laughed as back to take the boy's hand and down the elevator. - Not crazy!
walked down a long corridor full of portraits of serious-looking men, toward the only door there.
- These are the portraits of former Lords of Time ... My family has worked for them ever since.
- So the lords of the time too old?
- if they want. Usually at some point they get bored of being young and decide to grow old and die ... It's normal.
- I see ...
- Ours is the fifty-Time Lord since the offices there. It's easy to tell because when a new Lord appears, the building grows one floor.
- Grow ...?
- Ah, ah, very smart, huh? I will not say anything, let's.
- To start the talks if you never plan to finish?
- is part of my job.
They reached the back door and opened it as usual.
- Wait until you're in, count to twenty and then slams the door, OK?
- Is not it easier to enter together?
- No. It is in the process, the secretary must be within the office when people come, so I count to twenty, and then hit. - Temperature began to drop and the heating is turned on in the corridor. - The procedure is not negotiable.
- Understood! - The boy took a step back, intimidated.
- Okay, Start! - She smiled, and went into the room. The heating is stopped.
One ... Two ... Three ... Four ... Five ... Six ... Seven ... Eight ...
- Good morning.
- Good morning. - Ah, hell he'd lost count.
- I'm sorry! - And then softer. - You went through eight.
- Thanks.
- for nothing.
Nine ... Ten ... Alto.
- Q-who's there? - The Visitor halted his account again and looked around, to be greeted by an empty corridor.
- A-ah sorry! - A young woman materialized out of nowhere. - No I realized you were a visitor!
- Okay ... I was just shocked. - He could not avoid smiling, and watched for a few seconds. She looked no more than sixteen years, had long red hair and blue eyes. His clothes were quite old, but it was the first female human form of this place did not seem to runaway to a clothing store fetish.
- I am the Manager of the Section of Witchcraft and Magic Time Police ... I also called the witch.
- Nice ... - The young man smiled. No harassment, no hypnosis ... It was almost too good to be true.
- I ... - he paused, remembering not to use his name. - The Visitor Two Thousand Five Hundred Fifty-Two. - Welcome. - She smiled. - But going by the ten, and if you do not hurry to come you will get into trouble ... - Ah ... yes, a moment. - Quickly told to himself the ten remaining numbers, aside from his mind the voice telling him that if he had been talking to herself, this girl had no way of knowing because was. - Ready, and can hit ... - smiled again. - They called me too so we can get together. - Agreed. - The Visitor hit the door.
- Next ...! - He was the voice from within. - It's about time!
entered the office, the first and the witch boy behind him.
The room looked like a reception. To the right was a desk where the girl checked some papers. On the left a few chairs were neatly arranged around a table, like a waiting room. Opposite the door by which they had entered was another door, white with gold accents. The walls were also white and had a couple of windows with blue curtains open to let see the strange sky.
- Two Thousand Five Hundred Fifty-Two, you certainly took your time ... - The secretary glanced at the redhead. - And you took you, but that was expected.
- Ah, sorry ... My watch not working properly.
- For years. - The black hair laughed. - It happens, sorceress, before the Lord to be bored. You sit down, the Lord will see you just end with this.
- Thank you. - The sorceress smiled towards the door which was to be the entrance to the office of Lord of Time. - We shall see later Guest.
- Until then ... - He said smiling as he walked into the small waiting room. It was nice to have met someone more normal among all those strange people, maybe this place was not so bad after all.
Visitor's gaze turned to a magazine that was in a chair. Thought it would be good to catch up with the information of the place, after all if I was going to spend time here would need to know what to expect.
took the magazine and immediately set his eyes on the main headline, written in large white letters with black borders.
"The Lord of Death and Lord of broken dreams ... Again."
left the magazine, that was too much information.
was ten minutes when the door opened.
The Visitor looked up to see the entrance, and his eyes met a man in his twenties, with long white hair perfectly, and face dull, something was strange about that person (something other than your eyes with reptilian pupil), but could not decide exactly that.
- By the gods, woman! What does that thing there?
- That thing is a visitor, and you're being terribly rude.
- That thing is a human, and should not be up here.
- You are a child. - The girl rolled her eyes. - Two in 1552, come here.
The boy stood up to close, and the man raised an eyebrow.
- if I get something you will have to meet my schedule. - He told the girl, disgust clear in his speech.
- Do not be silly. - She sighed. - He is the Secretary, Second in Command and our resident dragon ... In short, do the tasks that I do not.
- Nice ... - Visitor murmured, not knowing how to behave.
- Dragon moody, he does not have diseases, so estréchale hand, silly.
- Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say.
After seeing the most awkward handshake of the universe, Secretary smiled.
- Well, now you two can sit there to resolve their differences. The Lord continues to serve the witch, and then should be available for ...
- Cute pajamas. - The dragon chose not to hear the rest of the agenda, and wiping his hands on clothes walked toward the chairs. - You must be a hit with women.
- Claro. - The Visitor sighed, and his appointment to his head again. - Today was going to have my first appointment, and unless this is a dream my whole life is ruined.
- sounds like fun, tell me more.
- I do not much fun.
- I do not humans and I have fun talking to you. - The dragon sat on a chair, and folded his arms, still frowning.
- What can you tell why? - The young man sank into the chair where the magazine had been quite tired of unfounded discrimination.
- No, you can not. At least not until it passes to be within the laws of the Administration.
- Ah ... I see.
- But if it's something, is a pretty good reason, and even ideal to write a book about it. - The dragon laughed, a laugh typical of someone who knows something the other does not.
- I suppose ... - the boy muttered under his breath, not knowing what to say to ease the tension.
- Although I must admit ... That gives me a little curious to know why you're here.
- Me too.
- How was it? - The dragon sat for him, his eyes
- I just lay down to sleep and woke up at the door of this place. I have no idea how it happened, and frankly, before arriving here even thought these things might exist.
- Typical. - The dragon rolled her eyes. - Typical human attitude.
- See ... - The Visitor counted to three to himself before continuing talking. - I do not know that was what humans did to you ... But it's not my fault, so please stop and aggression.
golden eyes locked on him, the pupils turned into fine lines, and for several seconds, the Secretary did not say anything. The boy asked if that meant he would die soon, but did his best to keep the look.
- You are a child, and you have nothing in particular ... You just beginning to develop character, but I like that attitude. - The dragon gave him a smile full of sharp teeth. - I'll be following your career closely ... If at the end of today you're still alive.
