[Max likes the roof. a) It's a good view of the city she thinks of as hers more and more. b) Less people, less noise, more time to think. She comes up here a lot at night, generally just to have a look at the city before she heads out for patrol.

Tonight is no exception, as she steps out onto the roof with her suit in her backpack. She wasn't really expecting anyone to be there, but she takes it in stride and heads over to her usual vantage point not far from him, sitting down and looking at him thoughtfully.]

Everything okay?

vettecrasher January 6 2012, 02:06:27 UTC

Hmm?

[ he wasn't really expecting to be disturbed during his Great Ruminations, so he's a little surprised when he looks over and, oh. it's max. ]

Yeah, I'm good. You?

futurebatwoman January 6 2012, 02:31:14 UTC

[She tugs her backpack onto her lap and puts her arms around her legs, chin on her knees.]

Just city-watching.

[She's supposed to meet Dick. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow. She doesn't know when for sure yet.]

You didn't strike me as the type to drink alone. Guess everyone's wrong sometime.

vettecrasher January 6 2012, 05:01:53 UTC

Well, to be fair, there's a few different kinds of drinking alone.

[ not... that he's doing any of the kinds other than the one she's thinking of, but he still has a point!! kind of. ]

[Jack is checking around the MAC for the Doctor and/or Zevran. ....And being Jack, there has to be at least one trip to the roof involved. However, when he arrives, he is surprised to see someone else up there as well, and even moreso to see that it's someone he knows.

So, he heads over and gives him Jim a friendly nod.]

Alright?

vettecrasher January 6 2012, 02:08:12 UTC

[ jim looks over and gives jack a small smile, though his heart isn't quite in it. between jack not really remembering jim and the day... well. he's not in the most talkative or smiley of moods. ]

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

comesback January 6 2012, 20:04:28 UTC

[Oh, he remembers, now that he's been here more than a few hours.]

Mind if I join you, then?

vettecrasher January 8 2012, 06:44:55 UTC

[ he really doesn't want company, except in all the ways he does, but he just shrugs and grabs another beer. ]

Sure, grab a piece of roof and have at.

Uhura's still getting used to the place and hasn't been able to explore that much outside of the apartment yet (although she has somehow managed to obtain clothing other than her Starfleet uniform, don't ask me how she was able to pay for anything). Upon realizing what the date was, she was content to let him be alone for a while, but it's been a few hours and she's started to get worried.

Which is why she appears on the roof, another six-pack of Budweiser in hand. She doesn't call out to him but makes enough noise as she approaches for him to be aware that she's there, giving him opportunity to either let her join him or tell her to leave him alone.

vettecrasher January 6 2012, 05:18:11 UTC

He doesn't tell her to leave. In all honesty, Jim's not sure he wants her around for this, but there's a part of him that's craving company right now. He's not sure that he'll be good company, but there's no way he's going to turn it down if she wants to hang out with her maudlin drunk of a captain.

So he shifts over and gives her some room next to him on the roof. He doesn't say anything, he's not sure he's really got anything to say, but he does give Uhura a grateful look. Even though he has a lot of mixed feelings about today and how people react to it, he's thankful that she seems to be worried about him. That's something he never thought he would get from her.

phonologies January 6 2012, 06:31:37 UTC

She takes a seat, placing the extra six-pack between them (after taking one for herself) and looking out at the city for a few moments before she looks over at him.

"I didn't know if you had a preference, but I figured cake would be out of the question," she says dryly. It's meant to break the tension, but she wonders after the words leave her mouth if she's been too glib.

vettecrasher January 8 2012, 06:47:20 UTC

He laughs, and it's a little bitter around the edges. It's still a laugh though, and that wry smile on his face is still a smile. So it's not as bad as it could be.

"Yeah, cake's not exactly a thing that happens today." It could, technically, but he wouldn't know what to do with a celebration today. He knows it's strange, he thinks about how strange it is every year, but that doesn't change the fact that birthdays aren't what they're supposed to be for him.

[ McCoy doesn't really bother saying anything, he just moves to sit down beside Jim, offering him the flask of whiskey he's managed to procure in the week or so that he's been here. He catches sight of the replica Jim's holding but tries not to draw too much attention to it; if Jim wants to talk, he'll talk. ]

vettecrasher January 8 2012, 06:49:37 UTC

[ jim takes the flask of whiskey and downs some of it before he hands it back to bones. he's grateful for it, and for the company. but it still takes him a few moments to say anything. ]

Today's shit.

[ he's so eloquent. ]

in13seconds January 9 2012, 06:30:02 UTC

[ He's not going to rush anything. In fact, he's oddly content just sitting there in silence as he takes a swig of the whiskey as well. What Jim says, though, gets a slight snort that's completely humorless. ]

You ever considered takin' up writing for a living?

vettecrasher January 13 2012, 07:03:49 UTC

I did. You have no idea how many reports and order forms and shit I have to write out as captain. It's a pain in the ass.

[ and paperwork is such a wonderful conversational topic compared to anything else. thank you, bones, for giving him the opportunity to ramble about it. ]

[ olivia, to be honest, has actually spent a fair amount of time searching for him today. she checked up here earlier but decided a second look wouldn't hurt so she's finally found him. she kicks an empty can aside with her foot and sits down next to him, setting a wrapped rectangle between them. ]

And I thought I was doing a good job of making myself hard to find these days with all my business trips.

[ there's not too much bite in it; the words are more of a habit than an actual dig. ]

vettecrasher January 13 2012, 07:05:19 UTC

[ he eyes the wrapped rectangle with a small frown. ]

I hope that's a souvenir and not a present.

helpedyoupaint January 14 2012, 06:27:34 UTC

[ she smacks her forehead and rolls her eyes. ]

I tossed the newspaper over your souvenir when I had to run into work to fill out a few forms. I've been meaning to give that to you too. But if you don't like the idea of a gift you can always think of it as a token of my appreciation for you in honor of "friends appreciation day."

[ a totally innocent and straight face yep ]

vettecrasher January 14 2012, 06:30:03 UTC

Liv, it-

[ he pauses before picking up said token of appreciation. he turns it over in his hands for a moment before letting out a small sigh. he's not a big enough douche to turn down a gift, but the fact that she doesn't get what today is makes him feel vaguely uncomfortable. ]

Thank you.
