So where can a fella find a decent scotch in this place?

[ Ladon is on his fifth cigarette since finding himself here. There's something about the trauma of coming to in an alien environment for the second damn time in his life that goes against conservation. At least he's slowed down and is savoring this one instead of furiously puffing away at it. He gestures with it between his fingers, unintentionally drawing circles of smoke in the air. ]

I'd ask too 'bout moochin' outta this joint, but something's tellin' me it ain't so easy. Call it a hunch.

We have a bar, if that's what you're asking?

One I wandered into had a buncha shit I didn't recognize. Normally booze's booze, but I figure wakin' up on a Goddamn spaceship calls for a good single malt.

One fulla space hooch. Not sure I wanna sample from each bottle t'find the closest thing t'scotch. S'a recipe for liver damage and mistakes.

1920s?

[Excuse him as he ignores absolutely all content in this post to focus on Ladon's clothes. He's excited, don't judge...! Who didn't have fun in the 20s OK...]

[ Sigh. ] Guess liver damage an' mistakes it is.

[justamobster]

Great. Rather not have t'drink the whole bar to get to what I like... [ Not that he couldn't, given enough time. ]

Sorry? [ Unfortunately, Ladon's not from Earth, so he has no idea what that means. ]

Scotch is usually in the short fat bottles. You could probably get someone to show you.

I run the bar the others are telling you about. If you want scotch, I can pull it out for you.

If you'd rather find it your own way, go digging through the kitchens in the passengers quarters - you should be able to find some there.

[He hasn't quite considered where to get some of his creature comforts in space. That thought is only occurring to Harvey now and the thought of drinking... space vodka doesn't really appeal.]

That is something I'd like to know as well. I would hope that I wouldn't have to resort to brewing my own scotch on this ship.

[Then as far as Hong Kong's concerned your alien race has good taste Ladon LOL]

The year! Which one are you from?

[killarevolution]

Glad everyone's seeing to it you get the obvious answer. [Snort] "Try the bar."

[ Okay, now that's actually helpful. There's a smile in Ladon's voice. ] S'why I was askin' on here. Figure maybe you folks'd help a fella out if I asked nice. Which you're doin', so thanks.

Er, s'year 12-- no, 15-- of the 6th cycle. Why?

[justamobster]

Oh thank God. Other place I was at only had robots servin' the drinks 'til I opened a place. No offense, but I prefer bein' on the stool side of the bar, yeah?

Prob'ly better I hold off on findin' my own, but if you can gimme a look at the bottle I'll be able to. S'just that gettin' half-seas-over while in a new place ain't wise, but I got a dry mouth and an itchy pourin' hand lately. Put it in my hand and it's gonna pull one hell of a disappearin' act.

[ He smiles at that. Another scotch drinker? Gold star for you, pal. ]

The bars've got us covered from what I'm hearin'. That'd be one way t'pass the time though, yeah? Space can get pretty fuckin' borin' sometimes, might as well set up a gin mill while you're stuck in it.

[justamobster]

[ He shrugs ] What can I say? People see this mug and figure I ain't the brightest. Can't blame 'em.

[killarevolution]

Suppose that's not always such a bad thing.

[justamobster]

It works t'my advantage now an' then.

I like the way you think.

[That gets a smile out of Harvey.]

The name's Harvey Specter and I appreciate anybody who can appreciate a good drink.

Ladon Ceto, and likewise. You just show up in this spaceship-shaped big house too, Harvey?
