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.]

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.]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash gives his chin a tap and hums lightly as if he's giving the suggestion a bit of serious thought.]

Money can’t buy happiness?
If at first you don’t succeed, try try again?
The world is made of love and peace?
Hard work always pays off?
Good things come to those who wait?

Hmmm, that's probably enough.

[mikangirl]

[Snrk.]

Excuse you! Money does so buy happiness.

[goldenglasses]

Oh! Of course! Let me try again. Ahhhhhh-- Oh! [He snaps his fingers.] Better late than never!

How's that?
