Cubefall isn't surprising after you've seen it happen a few years running, but it's always nifty. Especially if you're an engineer or mechanic.

So, Duo is behind the bar, swiping black Legos to build a tiny robot.

River has a pink sundress, a vidscreen in her hand, and an expression somewhere between 'perplexed' and 'dubious' directed at the vidscreen.

She also, a few moments later, has a barstool. Hi Duo! She'll be with you shortly.

[maxwellsdemon02]

"I was planning to kiss you hello," Duo says, polishing a glass in traditional cliché bartender fashion. "But if you're suddenly a kitten or a robot or something, I hope you won't hold it against me if I don't."

[river_meimei]

Duo gets the dubious look this time!

It's entirely good-natured, though. And kinda fond.

"We'll skip the neural remapping," she agrees, with a pointed glance down at the vidscreen, and then sets it down on the bar so she can rise up on her toes. (On the barstool's rungs. This is what careful balance with one hand against the bar is for.)

The vidscreen waits a minute -- displaying small images of a mongoose, a pink robot, a velociraptor, and a bird with a heavy beak and beady eyes -- before fading into the bartop.

...lucky for him, he is too distracted by girlfriend to see said pink robot that is an abomination. He uses a handy shelf as a step, boosting himself into reach.

He gives River a lingering kiss (hey, it's been a while!) before dropping back behind the bar to grin at her.

"Get you anything?"

[river_meimei]

"Okay."

:D, says River.

[maxwellsdemon02]

Duo holds up one finger. "I detect the need for a smoothie. Strawberry mango?"

[river_meimei]

"You're very smart," River informs him approvingly.

And accurately, but maybe not primarily for his choice of easy-to-guess beverages.

[maxwellsdemon02]

He's psychic, that's what he is.

When it comes to River and fruit, anyway. She's not very hard to predict.

"Chocolate or vanilla ice cream? And how are you?"

[river_meimei]

River gives that due consideration.

"Chocolate and mango have an opposition."

Apparently that stands as the answer to both questions.

[maxwellsdemon02]

It is a confusing answer.

"In an 'opposites attract' sort of way? Or in a 'no Duo, that's gross' sort of way?"

[river_meimei]

"It's suboptimal interaction," River explains patiently.

"Gonna drown the yellow. It's not a romance novel."

[maxwellsdemon02]

"You're weird," Duo tells her fondly. Then he makes her a smoothie with vanilla ice cream, and a long curly straw.

[river_meimei]

River sticks her tongue out at him.

This is obviously the only mature response.

[maxwellsdemon02]

"Yeah, yeah, you keep telling yourself that."

He has no idea why yellow is associated with romance novels, but eventually decides he's better off not knowing.

"Haven't seen you for a while. Been doing anything good?"

[river_meimei]

"Got a smoothie."

River is a smart aleck.

She shrugs a little, behind a sip of the aforementioned smoothie. (Curly straws: always fun!) "Still flying. Everybody's okay."

A slyly amused look. "Captain had to ship geese. It was in the fine print of the cargo."

That was a noisy four days.

[maxwellsdemon02]

"Geese? Seriously? Your bay isn't really set up for livestock."

Must have been a smelly four days. Geese are not discriminating about where they poop.
