Wednesday Night 'Tending

[oh_frak_me]

Tonight, Lee and Kara wander downstairs, both looking well-frakked and ready to spend an evening drinking and getting in trouble. Unfortunately, the bar is unmanned! (not in the castrated way) Kara leans over the shining surface in search of a person and when none is forthcoming, she hikes herself over the top and onto the other side where she

Things could go very wrong if, say, someone they recognize but might not have expected to see shows up.

Gaius has, reluctantly, admitted that he is not actually hallucinating or otherwise in a fugue state, and that this place, whatever and wherever it is, must therefore be real. So, he has given in and accepted the evidence of his senses for the time being.

He grabs a seat at the bar without really looking up at who's behind it, and simply orders himself a glass of water and a tossed salad.

She knows that voice. She knows it and she doesn't really like it.

"Oh, frak me. Baltar?"

[notagod_apollo]

Lee snaps around at the sound of Kara's voice.

"Uh... evening, doctor..."

Possibly one of the last people he ever expected to show up here.

[nomorenicegaius]

His head snaps up at the twin voices.

"Oh, gods."

He's beginning to re-evaluate his theory. This isn't an hallucination. This is hell.

[oh_frak_me]

She coughs and blinks and fills a glass with water for him.

"No frakking shit."

[notagod_apollo]

"Nothing stronger, doctor? No shortages here..."

He grabs Kara's arm, hissing into her ear.

"Did you know he was here? Frak... when's he from?"

[nomorenicegaius]

"Just water, please," Gaius replies weakly. "A rather large glass of it, in fact."

[oh_frak_me]

She sets the glass in front of him and turns to Lee.

Of course I didn't know, I would've told you!

[notagod_apollo]

"I'd frakking hope so..."

He offers Baltar a bright smile.

"How long have you been here, doctor?"

[nomorenicegaius]

He takes a long drink of the water before he answers. Mainly because otherwise, he wouldn't have much of a voice.

"Days? Weeks, maybe? I don't know how you tell time in this place."

[oh_frak_me]

"24 hour days, just like on Caprica, Doc. Sun comes up, sun goes down, people drink and frak."

[notagod_apollo]

Lee's grin widens.

"Have you been out back to the lake yet? It's supposedly based on a place on Earth called Scotland."

[nomorenicegaius]

Gaius shakes his head.

"I've been here. I've been in the infirmary. I've been in a room upstairs. The only suns I've seen have all exploded," he adds, gesturing toward the Observation Window.

[oh_frak_me]

"Not very adventurous, Doc. It's a nice place. Vacation spot, really. What brought you here?"

[notagod_apollo]

"Have you seen my father recently? Last I saw him, he was still in the infirmary"

He's sort of hoping Baltar doesn't know the elder Adama is here, just to see the look on his face.

[nomorenicegaius]

"He was just fine the last time I saw him, apart from being disappointed that he didn't get to throw me out an airlock."

Yeah, Gaius has very little love for the Admiral at the moment.
