[ The video feed opens on one of the rec rooms - specifically a bar area that had been left for passenger use previously, and Justin’s panning the camera on his device along the row of liquor bottles remaining there like showing off a finding of treasure. ]

After many days of hard searching and devotion of hours upon hours of testing structural beams for pole dancing, we’ve found it, Tranquility. A space for a space-club. [ Cue Justin flashing the camera back to him for a melodramatic 8O face before twisting it back to the drink collection. ] So now you can have a place to fully support your bad decision making away from the prying eyes of cops and lawyers and the morally righteous.

Where you can step out of your every day roles and responsibilities and into a carefree, non-judgmental, leave your expectations at the door zone. [ it is a significant prize, despite the gaps in the rows of alcohol. he runs his palm over a counter top, smooth and freshly cleared of dust (like the bottles) and he flicks what he imagines is glitter into the open room, before turning his eyes on the camera from where he's standing behind the bar. ] Just because we've all been abducted and infected (and to some degree traumatized) doesn't mean we don't deserve to have any fun while we're stuck here.

[ no what, he is copyrighting this gigantic fuck you, too smirk. ] We're opening our doors to everyone on board (save for the infants and the preteens with pacifiers glued to their tongues) to—

To drink your sorrows away, dance your sorrows away, use cheap as fuck pick up lines on people way too hot for you your sorrows away, whatever floats your boat, we really could care less. [ Said with a wave of a tequila bottle that he pulls out with a glass, going about setting up a drink. ] The only thing is, we need a sound system set up and a bar keep, seeing as, while I make a kickass margarita, I’d rather enjoy my youth and not be behind the bar at all hours.

Oh, and, pole dancers not included - so you’ll have to get your ass drunk enough to do that yourself.

We're looking for someone to rotate, between the two of us. As for the questionable matter of pay, it might have come to your attention that we're extremely lacking in the economy department. If donating your time to a worthy cause doesn't do the trick, we can negotiate the cost, barter our way to hell or you can realize that this job doesn't have a dress code or a zero tolerance policy on being shitfaced on the clock. [ this is his cue to snag a bottle of Jim Beam, twist the lid and join Justin in clinking their glasses together. ]

A toast, to the temporary end of the ongoing: what in the fuck is there to do on board, aside from staring at the wall and/or pissing away my time?

Do people normally say they're going to do something and not follow through with it?

[kingofbabylon]

Of course we did. I didn't lie to precious little twinks like you.

[heterophobe]

Just the one. [ a beat, in case you're listening, Erik. ] But he was enough of a killjoy that he left a lasting impression. His grating voice devastated my [ ... ] happiness, for about twenty-two minutes.

[kingofbabylon]

A few here and there. Like I said, a cop, a lawyer and the occasional, upstanding douche.

[kingofbabylon]

[heterophobe]

Nothing says pretend you aren't going to die in space like a place to let loose.

I doubt anyone's going to bitch if you make a too strong cocktail. After all, it's free booze. We're just organizing the distribution.

[redhotsummers]

This seems like a stupid idea.

[Positivity? What's that.]

[kingofbabylon]

[ hey there, laser pointer, being a frowny mcgrumpybutt again? ]

No one's forcing you to participate, buzzkill.

[heterophobe]

That's certainly one take on it. [ and unlike Justin, he isn't easily provoked so he will just smile tightly and wait for you to prance off, good sir. ]

What's a pole dancer?

[ It sounds like people like them. It went into a club once, but the music was so ostentatious and the bass was so loud, it fled rather quickly. ]

[kingofbabylon]

[ Oh god why do all the children ask him thing. You and Chase both. He'll just... side eye you, little child. ]

Someone who dances with a pole.

[ so descriptive. ]

[mediumdrip]

You're actually doing this? That's amazing.

[heterophobe]
