[ Wichita is not. a happy. camper. and it's very obvious by her tone, the fact that this is a voice transmission instead of a video and the fact that she hasn't left the bar since she got there earlier today.

in fact, a note to all you Space Babylon regulars, the doors to the bar have been locked ( by her ) and there's no music coming from inside it either. just normal, boring silence. on the transmission, you can probably hear the slosh of booze inside of a near empty bottle ( it was nearly empty when she got here, mind. some of the bottles stopped refilling themselves each jump. isn't that great? ) and the smack of her lips once she finishes her sip before she starts talking ]

To everyone that was fr- that knew Brian Kinney, crew member 006 » 033, I've got some bad news. Or good news, if you're an optimist, which I'm not. He went home last jump. Went to sleep here, woke up not-here.

Which I guess puts me in charge of the bar.

[ hence the doors being locked and the general 'fuck off' vibe of the place ]

Are there any bartenders on board that wouldn't mind working for free? 'Work' is a loose term, I mostly just sit around drinking with people whenever I'm here. Or if anybody wants to.. be here regularly and help make sure it doesn't turn into a crapfest, let me know. Assholes need not apply. [ because nobody will ever be a better asshole than Brian. ..wait, ew. she takes another sip, and only cuts herself off when she hears the tell-tale 'whoa whoa whoa!' of her mini Wall-E bumping into something in the near-dark. ]

Did your light go out again, bud? [ the one she fashioned onto his front in case the power went ut again. or, in the case, when Wichita decides she can't deal with colored strobe lights guiding the little cleaning bot's path ] Here, c'mere- [ aaaand the feed cuts ]

If you are in need of an extra pair of hands I may be of assistance. Especially if the work is so lax.

[voice]

[cons]

[ hmmmm ]

Wellll, I'll have to do some interviewing for people I don't know.

-- You understand.

Did you just get here? On the ship.

[voice]

[antivanleather]

Of course. Anything less would be worrying.

[He chuckles, a low, warm sound.]

Yes, I arrived in this last...jump, as it's called.

[voice]

[cons]

What are.. three words you'd use to describe yourself.

[ sip ]

[antivanleather]

[Without missing a beat.]

Multitalented, congenial, thorough.

[voice]

[cons]

And modest.

[ amuuuuused ]

[voice]

[antivanleather]

You did wish me to be honest, did you not?

[voice]

[cons]

Yeah.

So.

Back home, if you noticed someone stealing from a store.. What would you do?

[voice]

[antivanleather]

That depends on how the proprietor wished the thief dealt with. In some establishments such things are done often enough it is ignored, in others the thief is given a warning beating, in others still the thief loses his hand.

[voice]

[cons]

You personally. Let's say you owned the place. Be honest, I'm not looking for a business-y answer here.

[voice]

[antivanleather]

Capture them, retrieve and return the stolen property, reprimand and ban the thief.

[voice]

[cons]

Ban them!

[ exclaimed the thief. how alarming. ]

I'm starting to think you'd make a better bouncer than a bartender.

[voice]

[antivanleather]

From what I understand cutting hands off is frowned upon here. Banning seems the simplest way to go, no? If they are not here they are not going to be stealing.

Re: [voice]

[cons]

Yes, yes, it is frowned upon. Jesus. [ practically choked on her booze there ] Where are you from? Or rather, when?

[voice]

[antivanleather]

The thirtieth year of the age of the Dragon is when I come from, and as for where? Antiva City.

[voice]

[cons]

[ whhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ]

None of that made any sense to me.

Do you get that a lot here?

[voice]

[antivanleather]

More and more as of late. [He sighs.] Let us just say my world is very different than this.
