[The comm clicks on.]

Okay so! Now that I'm not sick anymore, I figure it's time I make a proper intro. My name is Grapple and this is my second week on this stupid boat. Don't worry, I'm not about to hit you with the whiny 'I wanna go home' speech. I'm just stating the facts.

I took a short cut to speed things up. I'm fully healed now.

[Though some people would probably need to see it to believe it.]

graparu October 28 2010, 20:57:26 UTC

[Grapple's seen enough impossible things in her life to believe it right away.]

Oh, cheater. Did you hunt down the guy that did it yet?

reckless_riley October 29 2010, 00:02:30 UTC

No, I haven't actually. I'm not in a hurry, and really my priority at the moment is heading to the bar later tonight to get plastered.

[Riley is clearly feeling a hell of a lot better.]

After all, I've got my recovery to celebrate.

graparu October 29 2010, 00:17:34 UTC

Well, I'm there now if you're interested in a drink. Might still be here later.

[She laughs a bit.]

Can't promise I'll be in too good a state but I'm told I'm a happy drunk.

Marco's still wearing the mirrorshades, btw :/ ntjstapwn October 28 2010, 19:01:26 UTC

*Drinking? Marco's up for drinking. He wasn't planning to bar tend quite quite yet, but no reason not to stop by.
Which he does, and quickly moves behind the bar to mix himself something up.*

You Grapple, then?

Her trying to remove them is prob a bad idea but something she may do. 8| graparu October 28 2010, 21:00:17 UTC

[Drinking buddy is go! ...Drinking buddy who knows his way around the bar is double go!]

Yeah, that'd be me. You got a name or do I have to make one up?

lol, go for it ntjstapwn October 28 2010, 21:33:26 UTC

*He can't help but wonder if that's her real name or an alias. Though Marco figures it doesn't really matter.
He takes a sip from his drink.*

Marco. I'm actually one of the bar tenders here, but I was thinking of taking the night off.

*Which, really, means he drinks as much as he wants instead of trying to stay mostly-sober so he can mix for other people.*

But if you want something, let me know.

[Its as much of a name as she has and Grapple would not hesitate to tell him so. Grapple laughs and shakes her head.]

A night off isn't much of a night off if you're still working. Just point me when I'm searching for whatever and I'll serve myself.

Might even go as far as you grab you one as well.

[His sunglasses earn the raise of her eyebrows.]

Gonna take those off? It's not exactly sunny in here.

You're probably the most social newcomer I've ever seen.

[Voice] graparu October 29 2010, 01:08:45 UTC

[She sounds pretty darn amused.]

Hey, if I'm gonna be stuck here, I might as well enjoy it. That's not a problem is it?

[Voice] betterthanraph October 29 2010, 01:16:08 UTC

No, not a problem. I'm just surprised; most people are hellbent on getting back home for at least the first month.

[Voice] graparu October 29 2010, 01:33:34 UTC

Who says I'm not determined to go home? In my experience, conversation is the best way to get information.

I can whine a bit if you want, buuut I don't really see the point. I'll get out of here when I can.

You found the infirmary?

Audio graparu October 29 2010, 03:01:12 UTC

Turns out there's a guy I know from home here. I bugged him to go get it for me.

Text gunsandhonor October 29 2010, 03:20:15 UTC

... Lucky you.

Have someone to boss around sounds like fun.

Hey now!

It's not my fault he listened. Most times he doesn't.

[Patrick's been hunched over in the corner of Sergei's for a while now. He didn't turn to see her walk into the bar, keeping his head down and his thick hands wrapped around the beer.

Hearing that familiar voice, the hulking shadow in the corner twitches. When he hears his name, Patrick looks up to see-- and gapes.

Girls that hot don't talk to guys like him.]

... Grapple?

[commentlog] graparu October 29 2010, 08:16:25 UTC

[She'd seen the giant in the corner hunched over the bar when she'd arrived, but hadn't dared to bother him. It was pretty clear from his body language that he just wanted to be left alone, and so she'd done just that.

When the giant stirs, she doesn't notice, focusing her attention instead on the comm in her hand and the message she's broadcasting. And then he speaks. Grapple jumps in fright and makes a startled sound.]

Whoa! What-- [Breathe.] You scared the hell out of me!

[Whoever you are.]

[commentlog] ptsdmobile October 29 2010, 08:30:00 UTC

[She startles, he startles. Patrick slams back into the booth cushion and throws her a bewildered and apologetic frown.]

I, uh. Sorry.

[Oh, crap, she's even prettier from the front. Down his eyes go, onto the table where it's safe.]

[commentlog] graparu October 29 2010, 08:39:25 UTC

[She takes a moment to admire the man. He's huge, he's built and be damned if that look on his face doesn't tug at her heartstrings. When Patrick looks down, it's Grapple's turn to be apologetic.]

Oh hey, no! No, it's cool. I just... wasn't expecting you to move.

[Yeah that sounds polite. Good job Grapple.]

...Wait. Are you who I think you are?

[Read: 'hope you are'.]
