There is a little old man in the Nexus today, dark of skin and bright of clothing. He seems entirely unsurprised by being here. He also seems, when the light hits him just right, to have too many limbs to his shadow.

Mr. Nancy is in the house.

*Mr. Nancy is happy to tell. He's rather proud of his children, in his way.*

From:

clockwork_doc

[They seem to be as mischievous as -- well, maybe not quite as much as Nancy, but pretty close.]

From:

a_nancy

*They are, especially Spider Nancy. A real handful, that boy.*

From:

clockwork_doc

[Sort of thing that makes Doc glad that Dee is pretty well-behaved. Though he supposes, in his case, it helps that she's actually a car and is probably mature enough to be an adult -- she just likes the kid form.]

From:

a_nancy

*Whereas Spider Nancy looks like an adult these days, but is very much a child at heart.*

From:

clockwork_doc

[Nothing wrong with that.] Your family sounds like quite the handful.

From:

a_nancy

Well, they would be. Ah, my turn to sing again.

*This time it's "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" with a tip of the hat at the appropriate line.*

From:

clockwork_doc

[Doc chuckles, then grins as Nancy goes up to the mic to regale the masses. Maybe it's the second Bailey's talking, but he thinks he might give it a try himself once Nancy's done (and if the machine isn't immediately claimed).]

From:

a_nancy

*Once the masses-regaling is over with, Nancy returns to his new friend.* Wherever he laid his hat was his home . . . good song, that song.

From:

clockwork_doc

[Doc nods] It is. I might take a turn myself on that -- usually I leave the singing to Marty, but. . . [shrugs]

From:

a_nancy

Well then, what are you waiting for? Lets see what you can do.

From:

clockwork_doc

[That gets a grin] Just making sure no one else was going to claim the machine first! [And, since it does seem to be free, off he'll go! His song of choice is "Old Time Rock n Roll," which he puts his all into]

From:

a_nancy

*Mr. Nancy hums along cheerfully.*

From:

clockwork_doc

[Doc eventually finishes up and returns to his seat, grinning] Liked that song ever since I first heard it.

From:

a_nancy

Never be afraid to sing a song you like.

From:

clockwork_doc

I'll try to remember that. Just, like I said, music is usually Marty's forte. Kid's a hell of a guitar player.

From:

a_nancy

I'll have to take a listen at some point.

From:

clockwork_doc

[holds up his PINpoint] I could invite him over, if you like. He's a good kid.

From:

a_nancy

Might as well.

From:

clockwork_doc

All right then. [Doc sends a quick message off to Marty, along with their rough coordinates. A minute later, he receives a reply] On his way -- and bringing the guitar.

From:

a_nancy

I look forward to it.

From:

clockwork_doc

[it's not long before a young man enters the bar -- he's quite handsome, with soft brown hair and incredibly bright blue eyes -- with a guitar slung over his back. He waves at Doc once he spots him] Doc!

[Doc sits up straight, grinning] Marty! [Excuse him a second as he gets up and gives his friend/honorary nephew a hug]

From:

a_nancy

*You are excused, although Mr. Nancy seems slightly disappointed that he doesn't have a name to call out.*

From:

clockwork_doc

[Well, here comes Doc now to make introductions] Mr. Nancy, this is Marty McFly, my nephew. Marty, this is Mr. Nancy, storyteller and new to the Nexus.

[Marty offers a hand, smiling] Nice to meet you.
