The bar is open! Also have an exploring doctor! Both open!

Nov 20, 2009 00:46

Vila was running the bar tonight and things were off to a good start as far as nights go. It wasn't overly busy Vila had time to chat it up with customers and summarily ended up downing a few himself. Vila relished this place, his job, HELL he even liked Rimmer who wasn't the easiest person to get along with, not that Vila would tell the man he ( Read more... )

"Of all the bars in all the spaceports in all the universes...you happen to be running what appears to be the only one here." Avon sauntered in, looking down his long nose at the surroundings, making a big show of avoiding nonexistent sticky patches on the floor. He went up the bar and leaned against it, flashing a broad grin. "I don't suppose I can get a tab?"

Re: Vila please :) allergictofear November 21 2009, 08:41:28 UTC

Vila smirked, it was nice to see Avon joking with little menace in his voice or demeanor, though he just wouldn't be Avon if he wasn't just a the tiniest bit of an ass.

"We have a rule for men like you. You pay more." He smirked back and brought the Soma out and two glasses, Vila downed the glass of alcohol he had been drinking, one had to make room for a drink with an old friend after all!

Re: Vila please :) haughty_alpha November 21 2009, 11:30:35 UTC

Avon tsked. "I suppose I'm paying for the pleasure of your dazzling company?" he drawled, resting his elbows on the bar.

"I had no idea you were a cat, Vila...you seem to have landed on your feet here."

Re: Vila please :) allergictofear November 22 2009, 01:11:22 UTC

"I would say if that's the case I have a lot more money coming my way, after all the countless days of entertainment I gave you and the rest of the crew. I think I deserve a bit of coin for my trouble." He poured the drinks and saluted Avon with the glass as he raised to take a drink.

"I'm glad someone finally noticed my cat like elegance and finesse. Not that this place makes it hard to land on one's feet, nobody to really bother you here. No federation taxing you to death or near death or trying to tell you how to do. Pretty nice set up I think."

Once again, Gary Seven was somewhere that he didn't recognize. A portal opened and he went rolling through it, toppling in in the most graceful and undignified manner, cat bounding through after him.

He was on his back, wincing as he tried to recollect his thoughts. Mentally reposition himself. He put his fingers in his hair, eyes scrunched shut, fighting off an impending headache brought about by disorientation. No idea where he was. What this was. He wasn't even clear on what had been happening.

He didn't even notice the woman that he'd landed near the feet of.

Silken Floss was not used to men appearing out of no where, not only that but falling at her feet. She momentarily flushed with exhilaration and surprised as the man rolled and landed spread out on his back at her feet, readjusting her stance so as not to give him a nice view up her skirt, she knelt down, the flush subsiding and her face stern once more by concern for the man.

"Sir, are you all right, physically?" Her voice was smooth and straight forward, clinical. Mentally, she wasn't so sure how well one could be upon rolling into another universe.

beta_five November 23 2009, 01:52:35 UTC

Fortunately, he had his eyes closed. So Silken Floss wouldn't receive a perusal of her thighs. Though Mr. Seven often considered himself to be too old to be thinking of such things. Especially when in the constant company of Isis, who often chose the most appealing forms possible to transfigure herself into.

Though unfortunately, he could do little more than grunt, and that excessive age felt very apparent. He would recover, of course, but it was going to take a moment.

The cat who followed him out mewled up at Dr. Floss, tail twitching, as if she was trying to tell her what was wrong.

drsilkenfloss November 23 2009, 19:29:52 UTC

She was not overly worried about him looking up her skirt, it was merely a precaution she always took. But seeing as the man was unconscious she felt no fear of getting nearer and pulling out her medical tricorder to check him over. She was just learning the new technology and so wasn't sure of her readings. But she could at least tell he was alive. Her eyes traveled to the cat and she and nodded at it as if she understood.

"Sir? Are you able to hear me?"

A panel in the ceiling opened in the corridor outside, and a lanky frame lowered out of it, so tall that the drop to the decking was only a few inches, and the panel able to be tugged into place by dint of fingertip maneuvering.

The engineer who had appeared so abruptly turned. "Oh, good, a bar," he said, apparently to himself, and strolled in.

Vila watched as the descended from the ceiling and raised an eyebrow at him as he strolled in.

"That was quite the entrance, mate. What can I get yah?"

of_wheatfields November 22 2009, 01:08:11 UTC

"Anything that burns when you light it," Wheatfields said, reserving judgment on being addressed as 'mate' for the time being. No shipmate of his, Koscuisko would have flayed him alive for daring to challenge his status as shortest on board.

"Righto, I got just the thing." He poured the tall man a short glass of clear clear liquid. "This is sure to burn its way through your system right quick. I know, I've sampled it." It was such a pleasant burn as well.

Trundling down the corridor was a robot dog, followed a few steps behind by a young blond man in the middle of consuming an apple.

"...but what does that entirely mean?" the man was saying, seemingly to himself, or perhaps to his supposed pet. He gestured enthusiastically with his apple core. "The myth of the Temptation in the Garden is inherently flawed."

"How so?" chirped the dog.

The man canted his head in an eerily mechanical manner as he pondered. "How could Eden be paradise if all knowledge was forbidden to the humans?"

"Perhaps, Master Varsh, the symbolism holds more weight than the logic?"

"Perhaps." He sounded dissatisfied with the answer. Thinking that he ought to gain a third opinion, he approached the first person he set eyes on: a woman wearing glasses. "Erm, hullo? My dog and I were wondering if you could help with settling a philosophical matter?"

Re: paging Dr. Floss drsilkenfloss November 22 2009, 06:53:09 UTC

She looked up at the trundling sound wondering just what that noise was, it was something she had never heard before. She glanced and saw the dog like robot, blinking for a few moments, she had never seen anything like it of course. She was even less prepared when it started to speak in a mechanical voice. She adjusted her glasses and looked at the young man, quirking a brow.

"Philosophy is not my major but I am willing to help..." She was looking at the dog, interestedly wondering how it worked.

Re: paging Dr. Floss andrelative November 22 2009, 07:06:29 UTC

"Well," Varsh began, noting with a pleased grin of the woman's interest in his dog. "Are you familiar with the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden?"

"There is a 93.51 percent chance that a complete stranger raised in Western society on Earth will have past knowledge of the book of Genesis, Master Varsh," K-9 said, assuring his master (and himself, to a lesser degree) of the chances.

"Was Eden truly the ideal place for humans before the Temptation?" continued Varsh. "I do not believe it so, for the two humans were existing in a flawed bliss. K-9 argues it thus: humans believe that paradise must equal tranquility, and without knowledge, one remains ignorant of the true strife of the universe. Do you have an opinion?"

Re: paging Dr. Floss drsilkenfloss November 22 2009, 07:13:44 UTC

"He's very good with statistics. K-9?" She leaned over to get a better look at the "dog".

"As for the question, I think my paradise would be to know. However, humans in the garden had no knowledge however, and as such I don't think they had the ability to decide what was or wasn't paradise. I do not agree with the ignorance is bliss philosophy." She was in thought mode, a finger pressed to her lips in thought. "To add to that, I wonder how one could be fearful of a consequence if one does not know of anything but bliss. Therefore, countering that the garden could not be a paradise so long as one being had dominion over all."

((Why yes I was just discussing this thing with my friend not three weeks ago. Here have a Silken with an apple))
