Parties weren't the TARDIS' thing. She disliked crowds and was about as much of a people person as a rock. But she knew this was also a last chance affair for a great many of the passengers, some of whom she'd come to grudgingly like over the course of their unorthodox adventure.

And so she found herself in the wet lounge, standing quietly off to the side, still uncomfortable with the idea of voluntarily mingling. It was enough just to watch, she thought, to see these people enjoy themselves. It was what she'd done for centuries before coming here, after all, and she'd have to get used to being on the sidelines again, once she went home.

[bit_impossible]

Frankly, the Doctor was surprised to find the TARDIS there, and when he did, he beamed at her. From the bar, he waved jovially and came over with two banana daiquiris, offering one to her. "I think you'll find this sweeter than the wine, old girl," he said, grinning cheekily.

[hisoldgirl]

She took the proffered glass, sniffing experimentally before trying a sip. It was quite a bit sweeter than the wine and she smiled, taking another drink of the tasty liquid. If she didn't know any better, she'd wonder if the man was out to get her inebriated, all the alcohol he'd given her lately.

"Thank you," she murmured quietly. "It is much better than the wine, yes."

[bit_impossible]

If he really wished to get her inebriated, he'd give her a couple Ruderian Triple Whammies, but even those did his head in after a long night, so he spared his ship of such things. Besides, banana daiquiris simply tasted better.

"Why yes, I thought so as well," he said, taking a drink from his. "I'm glad you came. I know you're not one for this sort of thing, but I know Ollie would appreciate it. And so do I."

[bit_impossible]

He was amused to find those two behind the last celebration. When he'd gone to reserve a lounge the other day, he was told somebody had beaten him to it and he actually was glad to have the responsibility removed from his hands. After all, he was more of an attendee when it came to these sort of things. So once he got a free moment, he made his over to the food display and began to pick up a few things here and there, bits of cheese and fruits.

[oliverplus]

"Notice what's missing from the fruit selection?" Oliver asked as he stepped up behind the Doctor, glad to see him here.

[bit_impossible]

He grinned at Oliver and plucked an apple from the table, giving it a shine on his sleeve. "Oh yes, I noticed a distinct lack of anything remotely pear-like in origin," he replied all too happily.

[oliverplus]

"Wouldn't want to disappoint one of the guests of honour, after all," Oliver joked.

[drivinsandrock]

Quatre looks a little concerned as he watches the others celebrate through the Sphere. "Oh dear! Am I allowed in? I'm underaged."

[oliverplus]

Oliver regarded his sphere with a raised eyebrow. What a conscientious kid!

"What? 'Course you're allowed in! It wouldn't be a party for everybody otherwise."

[drivinsandrock]

A relieved smile crosses Quatre's face. "I didn't want to get anyone in trouble on our last day here." He heads out of his room and toward the lift. "I'll be there in a minute!"

[oliverplus]

"Okay, see you soon!" Oliver called, waving cheerfully before he cut the sphere connection. Quatre's communication had reminded him that he didn't actually know the rules of the lounge when it came to kids, but he doubted anyone would give them any trouble, so he thought it best not to mention the possibility at all.

Klavier had come straight from his impromptu concert at the observation deck, so he was a bit late. And a bit rumpled, but he didn't much care at this point. He couldn't be happier with the result; after all, this was the first and only time he was going to be able to play to a crowd in outer space. So naturally, once he got there, he made a beeline to the bartender and ordered a drink.

[oliverplus]

Oliver was, not unexpectedly, getting another pint when Klavier arrived at the party. "Klavier!" he exclaimed, grinning at his friend. "That was some concert!"

[rocksecution]

He smiled back. "It was, wasn't it? I'd even go so far as to say it was a once in a lifetime sort of deal."

[oliverplus]

"As long as you're saying that because you used that crazy guitar and not because you don't think you'll be giving another concert!" Oliver said sternly, though he couldn't keep back his smile. Watching the concert had been a lot of fun.

[flareofgenius]

She'd been thinking about bringing something, not having managing to get around to it the last time- but between conversations with other passengers and not really having access to somewhere she could cook. Probably for the best, anyway- prehistoric poi was probably not the thing to be having before walking through a Gate.

Besides, whatever was on offer was probably better, anyway.

[bit_impossible]

"Lucca!" he hollered, waving at her from the food table. "Come on over and try this!"

[flareofgenius]

Lucca waved back and headed over, grinning. "What is it, do you know?" she asked, picking up a piece and biting in. Unfamiliar, sure, but you didn't get to find out what something tasted like just by staring at it.

[bit_impossible]

"Hmmm." He picked up a piece too, chewing it. Wasn't bad, had a nice, sweet taste to it. "You know, I think it's a fruit of some kind. Never had it before. What do you think?" he asked, plucking another from the display and popping it into his mouth.
