Can Any Of Us Even Get Drunk

[mikangirl]

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!))

[What the heck, this place has everything. Zack just shrugs and goes ahead and mixes the same stuff he put in the drink before, swirling it around to get it ready for the horrid version two that they're creating now.]

[goldenglasses]

[There are some crashes and a few bangs that come from the kitchen. Even a yelp along the lines of: oh crap! right before a large kerfuffle of falling pots. Then there is quiet before Vash kicks the kitchen door open again with a few bottles in his arms.

He dumps them out onto the bar and one bottle starts rolling for the edge. Without even glancing at it Vash reaches out and catches it before it can fall. Setting it back onto the bar.] Lets see! I found us some hot sauce, pepper, some pickles, vinegar, mustard, and uh... oh, ketchup? I dunno if any of this stuff will be any good, but lets see what we can make with this crap. Do you think we have a chance?

[wingenvy]

Holy shit, dude.

[Zack whistles, leaning down to check out the selection.]

Y'want one of each, or should I just blend it all together?

[HOW TERRIBLE CAN THEY MAKE THIS]

[goldenglasses]

[...]

That's so crazy it just might work!!!!

Do it! Mix them all together!

[wingenvy]

Brave man. Is there anyone I should call to notify when you keel over?

[Zack's smiling as he mixes them all in, though, one by one. The colour is growing increasingly hideous.]

[goldenglasses]

Hm, maybe Kitty Pride. She's my co-captain. Let her know she has one less headache in her life.

[Said in a joking manner as he sits grinning waiting for Zack to mix everything together. He knows he'll be regretting this in a bit, but for now he's enjoying the rush of doing something stupid.

[wingenvy]

Kitty, you got it.

[He finishes the very ugly, very grainy, very grey drink and slides it over. There are bits of pickles and little red ketchup blobs floating around in it.]

Bottoms up, you brave, brave man.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash looks down nervously as he twirls the glass in his hand. Watching the concoction as it swirls. He suddenly looks nervous.] Uhhhh... haha. For some reason I'm having some second thoughts.

[wingenvy]

[Yeah, he doesn't blame you there. But he can't help looking disappointed, quirking a brow.]

Aww, you're gonna put all my hard work and the booze to waste?

[goldenglasses]

Waste booze? NO WAY! [Your hard work? Sure! But not the booze!

Vash grabs the glass, closes his eyes, and throws his head back along with the "drink" to try to get it to go down as quickly as possible. Not that doing so stops him from nearly immediately start gagging.

Quickly he slaps a hand over his mouth and turns his head away from the bar so if he does throw up it will at least be on the floor. His free hand turns into a fist as he pounds the bar a couple times as he struggles to keep the drink down.]

[wingenvy]

[This would be a really good time to shout encouraging words, but since Zack doesn't even know the guy's name - he's "the loud one" on the network that's all he remembers - all he can do is clap.]

Bravo, what a trooper! I didn't know if you'd pull it off.

[He reaches over and grabs a cleaning bucket from beneath the bar, sliding it over. He can see your struggle and he really doesn't want to mop booze pickles off the floor.]

1/2

[goldenglasses]

Of course! I would. [He shakes his head and holds up a hand at the offered bucket.] No way! I don't need th-

2/2

[goldenglasses]

[He doesn't finish that sentence as he suddenly grabs at the bucket instead of pushing it away. Just in the nick of time as he leans his face into it and empties his stomach.]

Ughhhh....

[wingenvy]

[Ewwww, glad he had the foresight to pass over the bucket. Zack winces, leaning backwards away from the smell of the nasty mixture, and gives Vash a tentative shoulder pat.]

Hang in there, buddy.

[goldenglasses]

Ugh. [Vash finishes and rubs his mouth with the back of his hand.] I'm alright.

M-Maybe make that one an off menu request only. A secret menu item. Like, a so secret we never talk about it again kind of secret, off menu item.

[wingenvy]

Very, very secret private Vash-only menu. I got ya. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

[It was a fun adventure, though.]

[goldenglasses]

Once in a lifetime for me, but if people want to try to survive that drink I say go ahead and give it to them.
