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!))

You got me. The accident was years before we ever met him. I'd guess he had some help, but none of us ever asked.

Weird . . . kind of cool, but also weird. Guess I can't judge much though.

[mikangirl]

Hey, you still look like a normal, regular guy. That's a step up.

[Ragging on Franky forever tbh.]

[privateeyed]

Never been much to flaunt shit, besides, works in my favor.

[not that there aren't a lot of people back home who don't know]

[mikangirl]

Why? Does it make you stronger than people suspect?

[privateeyed]

I mean, kind of? Cybernetics - well, the trendy ones - people want everyone else to know they've got 'em. It's a "look at me" thing. Y'know, status in society bullshit.

I'm not flashy, I dress like - popular opinion is hobo or hipster - and I don't make it obvious I've got mine. So people don't really expect anything from me.

[mikangirl]

I can definitely see why that would be an advantage. They make assumptions which turn out to bite them in the ass later.

[privateeyed]

Yep. And then there's other folk who know but still think I can't do shit.

It works out nicely for me most of the time.

[mikangirl]

Honestly it's always better to underestimated than overestimated. Less people pick fights with you that way, too.

[privateeyed]

Which is the way I prefer it. I mean, I like to fight, but I want it on my terms, y'know?

[mikangirl]

Annnd some of us would prefer not fighting at all, so it's better if everyone thinks we're not worth it. [Guess which kind Nami is.]

[privateeyed]

I have days where I feel like that, so I absolutely agree. [even if those days are rare]
