[You may run into Tex in a few places

1. If you're in the rec center, she's working out. Or assulting the punching bag. It may be hard to tell the difference.

2. The local bar, getting a drink and glaring at the rude treatment she gets from the drones. You might notice she'd rather like to punch them if her fists are any indecation of that.

3. In the

[Is sitting in a dark corner of the bar with a glass of wine and a book, watching you, hoping you deck the bartender. Cuz that would be kinda great.]

[likeahex]

[She is doing her best not to. But you can clearly see the strain. If she came here to relax it obviosuly isn't helping. At all.]

[sanctusdei]

[Theo approaches the bar to get a refill.]

I don't understand why you give women here a hard time. Your money is just as good as mine.

[likeahex]

[The bartender utters a particularly nasty line about women knowing their place and Tex glares even more]

My place? Here's what I think about your fucking place.

[And you're getting your wish because Tex just punched him in the face. She scoffs as he falls down and take a drink.]

Bastard.

[sanctusdei]

[Theo grins. That was pretty good.]

You could have at least waited until he refilled my glass.

[likeahex]

[Rolls her eyes and reachs over to throw him a bottle from the other side of the counter]

Refill it yourself.

[sanctusdei]

Works for me. [He'll just keep that whole bottle then.] Want any?

[likeahex]

[She holds out her now empty glass]

Sure.

[sanctusdei]

[Fills it!] The wine here is utter shit, unfortunately. I'd kill for a decent bottle.

[likeahex]

[Shrugs]

Eh. Never drank much of that myself. It's hard enough to get decent beer in space.

[sanctusdei]

[Raised eyebrow.] In...space.

[likeahex]

Space.

As in outer space. Other planets?

[sanctusdei]

Where the hell are you from? Or maybe I should be asking "when".

[likeahex]

I'm from Texas. Around 2555 I think.

I was dragged here from a place called Blood Gulch.

[sanctusdei]

You think?

That common then, in 2555? Living in space?

[likeahex]

I don't pay much attention to the years.

Not living. Travelling mostly.
