[All things considered, Jim really deserves to sit in the bar on the plane and drink until she can't remember her own name, and then wake up tomorrow wishing she was dead

The occasion is rare when alcohol solves anything.

[kirk_it]

Maybe.

But I find the occasion is rarer when pointing it out changes anything.

[lamb_of_gold]

Force of habit.

[kirk_it]

[She just nods a little, and maybe even raises her glass in an ironic half-salute before bringing it to her lips again.]

[brigadiertardis]

[because these two -need to chat-. somehow. someway]

You seem upset.

[kirk_it]

It would seem that way.

[All agreeable-like. Hello.]

[brigadiertardis]

And consuming alcohol will solve that?

[kirk_it]

Not exactly.

[Suiseiseki just happens to be walking by when she notices you, Jim. and she makes a face because ew, alcohol]

Why are you drinking that, desu?

[kirk_it]

Why do any people?

[What are you doing in a bar.]

[dritte_tochter]

Well, most humans are stupid, desu. They do a lot of things they probably shouldn't.

[it was there!]

[kirk_it]

That may be true.

[And Jim's eyebrows are making a break for the ceiling. That's far from one of the oddest things she's seen - Starfleet'll do that to you - but the teddy bear is.

Huh.]

James Kirk.

[kirk_it]

Captain.

[But it's not a particularly forceful correction, possibly because she's a little too distracted by the little shot-wine-glass. Does he really think the teddy bear's going to drink it?]

[Kate's been in enough bars washing down the taste of a bad case, a failed rescue, bitter pills of all shapes and sizes, to recognise it immediately; she gets something for herself, something she's never heard of because why not, and slips onto a near stool]

Bad day? [her voice is wryly sympathetic, and there's a weary hunch to her shoulders]

[kirk_it]

[She offers a nod of acknowledgement to Kate and a matching wry tone.] You could say that.

[borntostand]

It's nice, being able to take a time out. Literally.

[kirk_it]

I'll drink to that.
