Who: captains and party crashers!
Broadcast: nup
Action: yes; tonight in the local dive Hange mentioned earlier. Get drunk! Play drunk games! Get to know each other! Mingle!
When: October 27th; late :}

[The bar Hange picked out is about typical for the planet: a little small, although big enough for the turnout Hange more or less expects, and clean albeit a little dingy and stained around the edges. At very least, all the stains have been scrubbed at thoroughly at some point in their history, and only the most stubborn and enterprising remain.

Stubborn and enterprising like the crew the bar will now entertain!

Captains, make your parent threads and tag around. Party crashers are also welcome.]

[ This is officially the most awkward. It has to be. This whole place is full of people older than him and he's like, literally the only teenager here. In fact he's sure he's the youngest and there is just all sorts of stuff about this places that screams YOU'RE GROUNDED.

So just...don't mind him....awkwardly standing off to the side here this guy is so not ready to be a captain someone help ]

[You know, she's just going to come on over and check in... and he looks pretty young, so on a hunch:]

Is this Sam?

[sugoooi]

[ He jumps a bit when she addresses him, reflexively standing up a whole lot straighter like he's just been caught doing something he shouldn't. He should recognize her right away from the video feed but he's dumb and just blurts out; ]

Y-yes! Ma'am! I'm sorry!

[aberrant_type]

[All right, she takes pity...] This is Hange! We spoke about this little gathering, remember?

[sugoooi]

[ Bless u Hange. Sam blinks, and suddenly realization hits him now that he's not sure he's about to get arrested. ]

--Oh! Yeah I remember! You're the one that made the video...

[aberrant_type]

That's right. [She automatically reaches out to ruffle his hair.] You came after all!

1/3 oop

[sugoooi]

W-well...I'm a a captain after all. I should right??

[sugoooi]

[ --aaand then comes headpat. ]

[sugoooi]

[ gdi he's too grown-up for this!!! You hear him!! ]

....You're really tall.

[aberrant_type]

[Heh. Heh.]

If you stretch out your back every day, maybe you'll get to be as tall as me.

[sugoooi]

--Does that really work??

[aberrant_type]

I don't think so.

[sugoooi]

[ HE FELL FOR IT... ]

[aberrant_type]

[Oh my God she looks at his face and... it starts out quiet and then it builds up... belly laughing JEEZ LOUISE]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[catches sight of him from across the bar... squints...

and then like a million years later, he finally remembers--]

Hey! You're that kid!

[...yep, he might be a little drunk right now.]

[sugoooi]

[ Which of course makes Sam jump because he figures this is it, this is where he is going to get arrested and escorted home to the most Disappoint Parents Ever. ]

M, me?!

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Yeah, I've seen you over the network.

[he stops being surprised and starts being... confused? his words are a little slurry. Sam's... probably not in trouble. Robin ain't getting up or anything.]

What're you doing here?

[sugoooi]

[ The network...? Sam stops with his hands held up defensively as his brain starts ticking again, give him a sec.... ]

Ah!! It's you! [ HE POINTS. ] Grenadine!!

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[A GROOOAN as he throws his head back, yells at the ceiling--]

It's Gratia! And that's not even my name!

[sugoooi]

It was close--! [ ish. It has some of the same letters in it? ]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

One's a bar syrup, brat.

[to which the bartender confusedly tries to offer Robin a drink--and gets waved off.]

[sugoooi]

Syrup--! That's what it is, yeah! [ Since he was trying to describe it last time... Excuse him while he hovers away from the wall a little, empowered by the fact that this guy is the fake-alien man from before. ]

...You're really normal-looking for an alien.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[snort.] Of course I'm normal looking. I'm not an alien, I told you.

[sugoooi]

Do all of you look like you're rock stars or something?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Pfft, no. I'm just especially good-looking.

[mmmight have misconstrued what Sam was saying, there.]
