Calling Chefs and Bartenders and ... Doctors. Probably.

Who: Nami and anyone
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Bloodsport, Iskaulit
When: Today

[She wakes up feeling odd. Can't quite place it. Her clothes hang a little more loosely when she puts them on, and Nami makes a face. She's been run off her feet way too much lately. Which means... now is probably a good time to make that call she's been putting off, with certain bffs turning into crazed Stepford wives. :|]

Malum isn't the only place that's short-staffed. The Space Bar could do with at least one more bartender, maybe two. We definitely need a chef, so if you're interested in earning some more cash and all the free drinks you want, basically the same deal applies! I'll be at the bar all day, so if you're interested, come in and say so.

[She could probably have put more effort into that, but she's too tired. Blagh. Oh wait, an addendum:]

Within reason, by the way. If you're some kind of demigod with a limitless appetite for alcohol I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to limit you on your free consumption.

[This is not hypocritical at all, given her own tolerance. But hey. Basically if you can outdrink Nami, you... probably shouldn't get all the free beer you want or you'll put her out of business.

Now excuse her as she yawns off to work.]


-----

[For the afternoon she's fine, even if she has to cinch her cute saloon dress in another tiny bit. She has lost weight. There's a vague resolution of taking a couple days off and stuffing her face once she has more than one other staff member (and Fenris could probably do with the option of more time off besides), and she just gets on with it. If you come into the bar in the afternoon she'll be her usual self, serving drinks and talking to potential employees or crammed in a corner on a break with a sandwich and a pack of cards.

Evening hits, and so does exhaustion. She slows down, occasionally gets distracted staring into space, and there's a light flush on her face that isn't from drinking. It's only a few hours on that she has to squint to focus, and Nami acknowledges that, okay, she might be coming down with something, and maybe she left looking for staff a little too long. But she keeps working, until either the bar closes or someone well-meaning chases her out of the bar. Buuut if you do that, you better be prepared to cover for the rest of the night, gosh.


...
...
...

Either way, by the time she leaves the bar and starts heading for the shuttle bay, her face is flush with fever to the point that the tips of her ears are turning red, and all her joints ache.

This feels familiar.

...it's probably just the flu.

She travels the hallways down to the shuttle bay, leaning on the walls to get her balance back, and manages to make it all the way down to the Bloodsport's shuttle, getting the hatch open, before she just... slides down its side to her knees, closing her eyes. She should probably get back to her ship and get a doctor's opinion.

Orrr maybe she'll just... pass out. Right here.

Sounds good.]

I could be a bartender.

[ She spent enough time in bars with Charles that it doesn't seem too out of her reach. ]
athru: (and i will pay)

Does spending years watching people make drinks count as experience?

[ And, then, she has to fight her laugh. ]

I was a waitress for a while.
athru: (for ourselves)

Good. At least I didn't waste too much of my time.

[ Being related to the genius of Oxford and being deadpan about your own waitressing ambitions got a little dull, after all. ]

I'm free any time - I don't really have too much to do here.
athru: (i'm a warrior)

[personal profile] athru 2016-06-19 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll stop by.

[ She ought to mention her mutation, but she doesn't really think it's relevant right now. Instead, she raises her eyebrow. ]

Raven. How cute?
athru: (and tomorrow will be kinder)

[personal profile] athru 2016-06-19 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... She can't hide her grin. What would Charles say? ]

I like it.
athru: (i now can see ahead)

[personal profile] athru 2016-06-19 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
If not then I'll be able to get my own.

[ She hesitates for a moment before - ]

It's a talent of mine.
wolfuncaged: (Still the same pursuing pain)

Action - evening

[Well, at least Fenris is still here. Even if it's just like...both of them. Trying to run a bar. Yeah, he so did not sign up for this, thanks for nothing, Varric. He's still reeling from what he's learned from the latest Hawke to arrive, but working at least takes his mind off that.

Still, he's been keeping a quiet eye on Nami all night, and eventually, with a sigh, wanders over to her.
]

Perhaps you should go back to the Bloodsport and rest. You don't look well.
athru: (punch like a champion)

[personal profile] athru 2016-06-19 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Not exactly. Just -

[ Okay, fine, maybe she can show off some of it. Careful, she changes her outfit; her skin flickers blue from her mutation and the casual wear she had on before is replaced by a replica of the uniform - at least the top bit she had seen from Nami's video. ]

There.
wolfuncaged: (Is it over?)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2016-06-19 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Excuse you he smiled like twice this week!! That's a new record!!! ]

I am sure I can manage. Besides, you look like you're about to drop.
athru: (and i will pay)

[personal profile] athru 2016-06-19 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Raven shrugs a shoulder, trying not to look too proud. ]

Like I said, it's a talent.
wolfuncaged: (Why am I torturing myself?)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2016-06-20 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[He'll fold his arms, giving her his best scrutinising look ]

One hour. [Who is the boss here? ] You have overstretching yourself as late. It will do none of us any good if you make yourself sick because of it.
wolfuncaged: (And it's raging)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2016-06-20 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Then you do not think, perhaps, it would be prudent to get some rest?

[Don't make him carry your unconscious ass back to the Bloodsport if you pass out, Nami. Don't make him do that.]

That will be a relief. I'm sure it will relieve some boredom in the Fleet, also.

[Because bored people do stupid things. ]
pneumo: (8|!)

action!!

[ That sounds perfect because who better to come save the day than...this idiot, who pretty much trips over her trying to poke his head in and look around.

Just because he can smell her doesn't mean he was looking for a collapsed body okay.

BUT. Once he's caught himself and looks down, he wonders why why Nami's decided to sleep on the floor like that. It doesn't look that comfy. ]


....Nami?
