[Aria looks almost normal when she first comes into the frame. She's dressed for a dance, but is mostly otherwise composed. Until she starts speaking in the sort of tone where she's too drunk to determine whether she's happy, sad or somewhere in-between.]So. Guess who doesn't remember this place existing. At all. Just when I was getting my head

Commander Spock's been actin' drunk lately too. I'd say it's probably the community's fault.

[And guess who only half remembers talking to Ezra, thanks to being terribly medicated at the time.]

[littlemissaria]

[Aria just peers at the video. Sounds like Scott, doesn't look much like him? Maybe she's losing it. Even so, no reason to not respond]

You think so? Well I suppose making me look crazy in front of Ezra wasn't enough for it

[video]

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

Oh, an' since you do seem t'be a bit tipsy, yes, this is Scotty. Ezra's forgotten the community, then?

[video]

[littlemissaria]

Really? [More peering] You look...different.

[She nods sadly at his question]

I thought I'd mention it since, you know, we both know about it. Or knew about it. And it was like he'd never been here.

[video]

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

Aye, it does that. Several o' my crew mates've forgotten the place.

[video]

[littlemissaria]

Why do you suppose it does that?

[video]

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

I've no idea.

[video]

[littlemissaria]

Well it sucks.

[video]

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

Yeah. It does.

[This is one subject that's particularly touchy for Scotty, because every time it comes up, he can't help but wonder what happens if Jack forgets about the community. Or if he forgets about it.]

[video]

[littlemissaria]

Still. Probably for the best. Things are complicated enough already.

[video]

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

[Right, changing the subject.]

So. Ever been drunk before, or is this your first time?

[video]

[littlemissaria]

It's...

[She pauses a moment. Doesn't want to lie, doesn't want to disappoint. The former wins out]

It's the first time I've been drunk without drinking, but not the first time ever.

[video]

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

Good. [Bet you weren't expecting that, were you, Aria?] Had t'walk Commander Spock through takin' care of himself drunk, s'why I asked.

[video]

[littlemissaria]

[No, Scotty, no she wasn't. And so you get a long stare]

Good? Really?

[video]

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

Lass, I've been drinkin' since I was about fourteen.

[video]

[littlemissaria]

...so this isn't a big deal.

Does being an adult always mean being this...weird?

[She has better words, she just can't remember them right now]
