the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty

Who: Daenerys Targaryen & Open
Broadcast: Yes.
Action: On the Wonderduck.
When: Evening.

[Sitting in one of the pilot seats, violet eyes bright as she maneuvers the controls with deft, small hands, Daenerys seems to be totally in her element. Flying awakens a whole new side to her - one hungry for adventure and freedom. How could she possibly be freer than when she is amongst the stars?]

I have been wondering...

Where does one go for strong drinks and pleasurable company? You cannot convince me all aboard the Fleet abstain from alcohol and sex.

[She leans back, then, tilting her head impishly.]

If that is a term we must fulfill, I can think of others I would rather take my place.

These are great questions! Booze seems to be the easiest thing to come by. There's a bar on the Iskaulit, and I keep some wine bottles on board at all times. They're good to have in case of an emergency, you know?

[Chuuya laughs, blowing smoke from his cigarette.]

Sex, even cigarettes are difficult to come by. We only stop at waystations between destinations, so I have to get as many packages of cigarettes as I can before landing. Meanwhile, where I lived, there were convenience stores with all sorts of stuff, including cigarettes, at every corner, and red-light districts.

Are any of the wines in either stock sweet? I crave one from my world called Arbor Red. [Rich, sweet and a beautiful hue.] I cannot think of an emergency that necessitates drink - unless we are exceptionally thirsty?

[Alcohol should not replace water. Even the people of her world know that.]

Cigarettes? I have not heard of convenience stores or red-light districts either. Is the latter like a brothel?

[He thinks this over, trying to remember if he's seen a wine by that name.]

There are sweet wines, but I'm not familiar with that one.

[He's surprised he doesn't know a brand of wine, so he makes a mental note to keep an eye out for it.]

If you've never been stuck in a situation you'd rather forget, then perhaps you wouldn't understand how it's necessary.

[Especially being a big wine-o like him.]

Yeah, red light districts contains brothels.

Then I shall have to settle for one that resembles it.

[There is even a wine called Arbor Gold. Oh how the crews are missing out!]

I have been in many situations I would love to forget, but running from them is cowardly.

[Drinking only stalls the problem temporarily unless you seek to die by it.]

Why red light?

[He will conveniently ignore her comment on drinking to forget.]

Red is thought to be a color of passion and eroticism, so red lights were used to indicate the location of brothels.
