Down in some seedier district deep mainland was an eyesore of neon flashing lights and reedy, trilling alien music that was, once you got used to it, pretty damn good. It was called Sammy's Sideways Slam and, according to ever local with a half functioning liver (or alien organ equivalent), it served the best, most potent, insanely awesome drinks

"I do not think that is a doable thing," she sang back, looking entirely too amused as she sipped at something potently amber colored. It was just sweet enough and called a Starburst Surprise. It had not surprised her yet, but it was pleasant.
"Wassamatta, wif dat?" The blue alien mumbled. "Betcher can--" there was a lound rumble that turned into a squeak, "--a--snook!-eciate a--snarf--hic! man like me. Can't get--sneerrrrk--better than Bojut Brank ( ... )

What mattered was that all it took was a few words to the bartender about his biology (or lack thereof) and he was getting in on things that his species had never thought possible.
Not a bad way to spend a vacation, in his opinion. And while the first time he'd given it a try this week, he'd stopped before anything hit him too hard (talking to Char had been kind of a distraction), there was no telling if he'd ever get the chance to do this again, and he had every intention of making the most of it.
He made a wave at the barkeep. "Hey, can I get another uh...another this thing?"

"What about you? Yopu need another one of those gems?" Gino shoved a tall glass of the drink Axl had demolished in front of him. "Something stronger? He flashed a grin of sharp black teeth and Arha returned it.
"I wish to try your Molotov Planet," she said with a solemn nod. "What is it they say? Hit me?"

And he let out an impressed whistle as he watched the bartender got to work on that Molotov Planet. "How many kinds of booze go into that thing?"

Small, petite and barely five feet tall, she was dressed in a sundress that demonstrated, by goddamn she was FLAT.
Despite this, she walked into the bar and slapped down a few coins. "Florp."
The giant of a bartender looked up at her and said, "Aren't you a little young to be drinking?"
"Technically I'm two thousand and ten years old," said Rein, embellishing her facts. "Florp."
"Here you go."
Rein took a pull. And to her credit, didn't spray it across the table as it raped her tastebuds.
"Good Florp. Can I get another after this?"

But as Kira stood in the doorway, he began to have second thoughts. Something told him that this really wasn't his sort of place.

It wasn't anything about this bar in particular, but he just really wasn't a ... bar person. Still, there were friends, so he might as well go talk to them...

"What would you like to drink?" she asked, pitching her voice so it reached him without too much interruption. "There is much available."

Of course, if a drink or two entered her ownership while making her way over there, that was not her fault at all.

Charming.
I'm back here with the flailing blue drunk by the bar, she said with a mental snort. Gino hollered something from behind the bar. It does not matter what the species, they will always try to grope something.

A beat as she contemplates the glass in her hand. "Well. Yet."

"Are you sure?" Gino asked. "They're pretty potent."
"Do I look like I'm unsure, fucker?" she asked pointedly and with an expression that said she was about to shove a bottle of something poisonous up his ass. Gino's hands went up.
"For you, sir?" he asked sliding a small shot glass filled with amber liquid at Sarah.

He then grinned at the bartender, "I take one of the same. To start."

"Fill it," she said, shoving her shot glass forward. "And leave the motherfucking bottle."
Gino did exactly that and promptly edged away, gratefully sliding himself down the bar to answer another patron's call. Sarah exuded fuck off in neon lights and a few aliens edged away from her, some slipping away to find tables, which meant three seats at the bar had opened up.
