Twenty-somethings gotta twenty-something

[mikangirl]

Who: Everyone invited, everyone gatecrashing (technically you're all invited, so...)
Broadcast: Who knows, maybe some drunken texting later on
Action: Iskaulit Pool!
When: 3 July

[It's a party for a narcissistic redhead who likes to be reminded she's alive.  Come celebrate!  Alternately, come sneak in and steal the food!  There's a bar set up for drinks drastically lowered to cost-price or to-be-paid-later-tab, a non-alcoholic punch in case of wandering minors (spike it and Nami will end you) and random snacks.

Oh, and a pool.  Which is heated.  Kind of important, that part.

Step right up, I'm reliably informed we'll have Thor with his shirt off, take pictures while you can.]

How's a girl meant to trust such an inconsistent man?

[goldenglasses]

Ahhh... Because you can trust them to always be inconsistent? In a way that's consistent, isn't it? I think... maybe....

[mikangirl]

But inconsistent means undependable, Vash. I'd get that looked into if I were you.

[goldenglasses]

Maybe I should. Do you have any good doctors to suggest?

[mikangirl]

...do we even have doctors on the Fleet anymore? That's a good question.

[goldenglasses]

There's still Anders if you've met him. Also Kitty mentioned there is a doctor called Strange in the fleet. [For the moment.] Although not sure how I feel about a guy named Strange doctor-ing me.

[mikangirl]

...you know, my ship doctor's name is Chopper.

[She ain't gonna dis Strange, yo.]

[goldenglasses]

Wait, really? You're joking. Right? Your ship's doctor isn't really named Chopper are they!? [She doesn't look like she's joking, but it's just--- REALLY?]

[mikangirl]

Dr Chopper. [She takes a sip from her glass.] He likes cotton candy.

[Very srs.]

[goldenglasses]

Huh.......... [What do you say to that?] Well. [That is something to say. Yes. Now try something a bit more helpful.]







So, he's got to be a pretty good doctor to be a part of your crew, right?

[mikangirl]

Mm, opinions differ. He's also considered our emergency food supply.

[Now she's just trolling. While still being honest. Go figure.]

[goldenglasses]

What? Is eating people common in your world!? Now you really are joking, right?

[Next you'd be telling him your doctor is a reindeer.]

[mikangirl]

What, don't they do that where you come from?

[goldenglasses]

Well, ah-- I mean... [Not in a long time. Perhaps in the beginning and just a rare occasion these days, but Vash doesn't like to think about that.] No? Not really.

[mikangirl]

[Laughing.] I'm messing with you. Dr Tony Tony Chopper is his name. He's a reindeer that gained human characteristics.

[goldenglasses]

A reindeer with human characteristics? Huh. I think I'd like to meet someone like that.

Does that mean he has fingers? [Because there's no way someone can doctor with hooves, right? Right?]

[mikangirl]

Nope.

[:D]

[goldenglasses]

Haha. [He laughs honestly for a moment. Then there's a moment where he pauses.] That-- that's also a joke. Right? [He suddenly has trust issues with the things she says.]

[mikangirl]

[Can't think why.]

No, it's not. But you'd be surprised. Chopper manages very well. He definitely has all the steadiness a doctor needs.

[goldenglasses]

I suppose steadiness is more important than fingers in the long run. [He doesn't have a single clue as to what he is talking about.]

[mikangirl]

For some. Maybe you'll get to meet him one day. It's a little easier to take in, in person.

[goldenglasses]

I think I would like to meet him one day.

[mikangirl]

Well, maybe you will. I've had crew drop in before. [She smiles wryly.] He'll probably turn up just long enough to be amazed at space and then go home again.

[goldenglasses]

I know it's lonely, but maybe it's good that he's not here. Hopefully we can send you back to your home one day soon. It sounds like a pretty great place. [Even though he's only heard a little bit of it.]

[mikangirl]

[Snort.]

You wanna throw any other platitudes in there while you're at it?

[She's not offended. Kind of tired-amused.]
