Can Any Of Us Even Get Drunk
Who: Space Bar staff and special guests
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Space Bar!
When: One fine night after closing
[The Space Bar staff made good use of the ever-replenishing alcohol supply at their last stop, and Nami and Remy got around to discussing the idea of testing various experimental mixes to come up with new additions for the menu. I mean, add to that Nami hasn't made a decision which one of the applicants should take the main bar job, so clearly the best idea is to shove them all into one place and ply them with alcohol while they talk to each other and work it out after that.
No, it's a good idea. Shut up.
...okay. It may just be a good excuse for a party. Sue her.]
((ooc: this is a mingle! It's open to job applicants and regulars who hold their liquor and their plus ones. If you think that might mean you, you're more than welcome here!))

Drinks are not free, except for the experimental rounds. But they are heavily discounted. She's still gotta have the money to buy more at their next stop.]

I am ashamed at how long it took me to understand your username
Though dislike was quite an understatement.
More likely he wanted to throw him out of the closest airlock.
It was a good thing the bar didn't have one...
But he would just have to put up with it. Wasn't the place or time to be dealing with his hang ups on the guy, not while they were at work. Instead he just kept himself busy, bringing up extra ingredients as they ran low, working on mixes that he had been practicing for the night, keeping busy and keeping his mouth shut. It would be later in the night before he relaxed and started acting more like a customer than worker.
Though Remy was certainly not going to let Loki mix his drink, instead reaching over the bar to grab what he wanted and putting them into a glass.] I think 'm good on m' own. [Also he's not impressed with your smoothness, he can do that too, you know. Unless it was magic, and even then, Remy's seen it all before with Loki.]

If he isn't sitting pretending to drink his beer, then he's behind the bar, examining what's there and figuring out the bartender thing. How hard could it be? He didn't have to talk to people, right?
Why someone who doesn't like socializing and can't drink much decided to be a bartender is a mystery even to Ben, but he's here]

tempest | ota
Rather than her usual corner spot, however, she's parked at the bar proper for once. And while it'll take a few drinks for her to be eager to socialize rather than begrudgingly, she's in a fairly decent mood. Come drink with her, and maybe she'll try to drink you under the table]

Zack | OTA
It does help that no matter how much he drinks, he holds it surprisingly well- no slurs, no stagger. And he remains a smiling face and a listening ear regardless of which side of the counter he's on, happy to strike up conversation with damn near anyone.]
no subject
But he doesn't need that much. In the end she wipes her hands on a cloth and casually vaults the bar, perching on the other side of it with a gimme drumming of her fingers on its surface.]
Rum, please.

Keith | OTA
=====
[After he'd been there a while, Keith was feeling pretty loose. He was smiling and laughing more, being talkative... definitely not his usual wallflower attitude problem. At this point, he could probably be easily talked into dancing or even karaoke! Go ahead... make him do it. You won't get this chance again.]

Crowley | OTA
He'll be trying the various drinks, especially the high alcohol content ones and generally mingling around. If he knows you, he'll wander over with a lazy wave, if he doesn't- well, he'll raise his glass in a manner that's either expecting someone to buy him another or a greeting. Could be either. Or both. ]

Remy - OTA
Most were mixed with the fruits he was able to store fresh or preserve for later, trying to make the most of that weird citrus flavor in all the previous planets’ food, using it to work alongside what he had made up. For the most he was pretty happy with what he managed, stuff resembling lime mojito, strawberry daiquiri, even managed to use up some of the honey flavored liquor they had picked up on a previous planet in a honey/lemon combo. Anything that works with the mix of liqueurs they had at the bar.
And there was joke shots too. Super sour, heavily spiced and heated, mixes that really weren’t designed to work together. For anyone up for a challenge.
He spends half the night going back between the kitchen and bar, restocking stuff as needed and helping to mix drinks up as well, though is a bit more quiet than normal while working. The other half he decides it was time to be more a customer than a worker, getting his own drinking and using the excuse to dance or hang out with others.]
no subject
You're pretty good at this. [All disclaimers aside.] Maybe I should put you in charge of the specialty drink menu.
[She ain't touchin' your joke shots, though.]

Vash the Stampede | OTA
[Vash did his part by helping to set up for tonight. Once the prep was done he was out of his uniform, back into his normal red duster jacket, and then hit the bar ready to have some drinks. Don't mind if he slides up next to you at the bar.] So, what drink are you trying out?
Many drinks later
[Where did Vash get that tie? WHO KNOWS!? But it's around his head now. He's laughing and having a heck of a good time. Not to the point where he's being over rambunctious (yet) but enough that his normally loud laughter is even louder now.]
Hey! Hey! I want another one of those purple-ly-green-ish ones! The ones with the bubbles! I think I got a name for it! Cloudy stardust!
You get it? Be-because we're in space? With stars! And we're at the bar! The Space bar! So, the drink can be a cosmic stardust! [Did he say cloudy before? He probably didn't say cloudy before. He most certainly said whatever it was he just said.]
HEY! Do we have pretzels? Pretzels will be really good right now! BUW HA HA HA!

Cosmic Stardust isn't a half bad name, you know.

Maggie | OTA
If someone does take a seat next to her she gives a bit of a nod and a small wave.]
Looks like this place is enjoying the all the stuff we got on the last planet.
[She smiles a bit, taking a sip of her drink as she does.]
no subject
But, there's a lot to be said for the convenience of a bar that travels along with you. Maybe this Fleet thing ain't so bad. ]
What do they do when they run out? Is someone brewing booze in their engine room?

So throughout the evening, Kaname will be seen nursing a drink of some kind. For some time, she's more talkative and less reserved than normal, giggling a lot more often and still very friendly. Come say hello!]

Looma | OTA
[Frankly once things went back to normal, Looma was all too happy to jump at the opportunity to not have to sit and think about the past several days. She'd never paid much mind to the augments they were given, even considered them somewhat helpful (if intrusively delivered), but that was something she'd definitely reconsider going forward.
For now? She was in full distraction mode. Sure it was a party, and the expected precautions had been taken beforehand, but for the first part of the evening she's focused on heavily moderating her behavior. Not drinking (much), keeping a watchful eye on everyone who is lest they get a little too rowdy, and even doing a few temporary stints behind the bar herself to ease the workload. Simpler requests like beer or straight liquor, mostly, but easing the workload a bit meant allowing a coworker a break to go have some fun of their own. She might not have been the most affable bartender, but the extra hands and a distaste for distractions meant she made up for it in efficiency.
Friend or not, nobody would have to wait long to get their booze with her. Plus, no matter how much liquid courage went down the hatch, having a giant four-armed bartender was still one hell of a deterrent toward anyone daring to try slipping away without settling their tab.]
[PLAY]
[Of course, later in the evening, once things appeared to be going along just fine without her supervision, Looma's going to give in and celebrate like anyone else. Mostly.
She doesn't like the taste of most of the liquor, but she is putting away a lot of the lesser stuff. Actual glasses never stood a chance, and unless she's being a sport and trying one of Space Bar's experimental drinks, it's unlikely you'll find her with anything so small as a pint glass. Beer goes down by the liter- she's usually seen carrying two at a time just to avoid having to walk back and forth so often. Wine or the occasional liqueur, meanwhile, is being enjoyed straight from the bottle.
It's probably not something that's going to end well, but hey, her metabolism being what it is? The worst anyone present will likely have to deal with is an overly friendly princess giving them a painful clap on the shoulder in greeting, or a playful shove that may or may not feel like being broadsided by a rugby player.
Well, that and the occasional challenge to an arm wrestling match. Anyone even passingly familiar with her might have known better, but the newer people? Someone responsible should probably warn them.]
no subject
So she tries to shelve the misgivings that come with someone so much bigger than her being so much drunker than her and shakes her head with a laugh at the challenge issued.]
An arm wrestling match with you? I want to keep my arms for the morning, thanks.

Mon-El | Bartender | OTA
No, that's not quite true. As a small child his parents were everything to him. All he wanted even more than their approval was their love. It often felt like he had neither and he blamed himself for that. Even after learning more about the "systems" he was part of and how his parents treated others he didn't lay all the blame on them, though he did try to forget. In fact, drinking was one of his favorite ways of leaving it all behind. Drink early. Drink often. But in the time he's been in the fleet he hasn't fully shown off his ability to hold liquor—both from lots and lots of practice and also his alien physiology. Tonight, he just might change that. A shot for you. A shot for him.
He's smiling, laughing, happy to talk to someone new or someone he knows well or could know better. He's even mixing some impressive concoctions. He likes the creativity and precision of a good drink and he has sampled them all across the universe even before joining the fleet. The ingredients aren't as readily available here, but he does his best to make some palatable blends.]
What can I get you?
[He doesn't spend all his time behind the counter. As the night wears on he focuses more on being a drinker than a server. Join him!]

[Get it? He's the cook and has blonde hair? Vash apparently thinks he's hilarious as he tips his head back in loud laughter.]

super late!
Still, she'll circle about for a little bit before she goes, since she's always interested in meeting more people. She'll also sit at the bar to talk with people there. If you catch her eye for a moment, she'll likely give a little wave and a 'Hello!'
And if you catch her with her ginger ale/soda/whatever it is growing warm, don't be surprised if she exhales and the rim of the glass lightly ices over again. Being a waterbender is neat like that.]
super... later?
Katara, hello. It's good to see you in person.
welcome to the late party!
you are much too kind, thank you
