Who: Kurt Darkholme
Broadcast: Video
Action: Space Bar
When: Today

Broadcast:
Kurt had put off acknowledging the disappearance as long as he could justify, in the hope that Makie might return. It had happened before, with her and others. But after a few days of her name stricken from the rosters, Kurt breaks and makes a rare video post.

"Otono-tachibana Makie has left the fleet," he says without preamble, his voice carefully level. From what can be seen of him, he appears to be somewhere on the Twin Roses while broadcasting, and has made an effort to choose a spot with good enough lighting he won't vanish into a stray shadow. "She left no instructions regarding her belongings, and so I've taken possession of them for the moment." What little she'd left, that is. "If there is something of hers what was promised to you or you'd like to have, you can find me on the Twin Roses or the Space Bar."

Kurt pauses as though to say something else, but instead sighs deeply and shuts off the feed.


Space Bar
True to his word, Kurt can be found at the bar, steadily putting away an impressive amount of alcohol for a man his height and weight. He seems to be taking no joy in it, knocking back whatever's put in front of him with the grim determination of someone who trying to drown an emotion.

Pavel, a half-empty bottle of something green in hand, takes a seat next to Kurt at the Space Bar. If Kurt's glass is looking empty, he'll even take it upon himself to top it off with the something-green. Don't worry, it's alcohol!

The Russian doesn't say anything, at least initially. If Kurt isn't in a talking mood, they can drink in silence.

"Gern geschehen, but I'm almost certain that it is not arsenic." Since it is an alien liquor, he wants to allow himself a small margin of uncertainty. Whatever it is, he takes a swig and chooses not to pour Kurt another.

Pavel waves away the... apology? "Eh, being here isn't so bad when the alternatives are considered. I'm glad to see you as well... but maybe less glad to see how far ahead of me you are."
