[The device turns on and reveals Alex sitting in front of the screen, a grey cat curled up in his lap. He's looking pretty relaxed, for once, and he gives an actual smile. Running a hand through his hair, he clears his throat, and starts to talk.]

So uh, yeah it's my anniversary, I guess. Time flies when you're trapped on a spaceship on a trip to nowhere, right?

I figure in honor of me not getting myself killed, or anyone else exploded for a whole year, I'm going to be drinking at Space Babylon tomorrow night.

And I'd be totally cool with anyone coming down to join me.

I'd say it's a party, and the drinks are on me--but it's not like the drinks aren't free, and I don't really throw parties.

[And he feels like he might as well add after the conversation he had with Kirk,]

Since booze is free, I'm also totally cool with supporting underage drinking and delinquency.

[Fuck, he still wishes he wasn't so awkward.]


See you tomorrow, I guess?

Or not.

Whatever.

[He gives a little smirk and then turns the device off.

ooc: log is here]

The day you arrived was not on a jump day?

video

[redhotsummers]

I did--it was more of a general 'anniversary' thing.

[Glad to see you out of Prison, Elf dude.]

[elvenking]

Do you at least count yourself a year older?

[culver]

Congratulations

[redhotsummers]

Thanks Nill. Figure the party thing won't really be your scene, right?

[culver]

I went to a sleepover once.

Annivers-

[Murphy pipes up in that shining moment of "oh shit".]

...

[Muttering:] I didn't even realize...

[video]

[redhotsummers]

Oh look man, it's our anniversary, isn't it?

Got to fly the coop for a whole year.

[Different prison, same shit.]

[video]

[yardbird]

Mn, sounds 'bout right...

[Murphy can't even tell how long it's been since that was ever a thing. Don't ever put him in charge of time management.]

Guess that is somethin' worth a drink for.

[refusing]

I don't get it, why celebrate being here a whole year? [No really, she's confused. She can't even begin to process what an entire year in this place must feel like.]

video;

[redhotsummers]

Why not?

[Really. But still, Alex shrugs.]

You make friends...you make it some sort of home. I've been bounced around between worlds once before. It's nice to not get spit out into another alternative universe for a while.

[refusing]

What about where you came from? You wanna go back, don't you?

[She's a bit disheartened by all these people who have been here for months, and now there's someone who says he's been here a whole year. She frowns, glancing away.]

I mean, I get making a new life for yourself and all that, but...we're actually stuck. [That is not a question, just some disappointment on her part.]

Going to hold you responsible for any mess that underage drinking makes.

[redhotsummers]

Man, if I try hard enough I could get my first trip to the Brig.

But seriously, what's the drinking age here? 18?

text;

[puppydogeyes]

There isn't one.
I figure it doesn't matter as long as someone's around to make sure shit doesn't go bad.

[So she wasn't entirely joking about the 'being responsible' part.]

[stimulations]

I'm lacking an invitation.

[Alex smirks, quirking an eyebrow.]

Well maybe I was just planning on bringing it to you in person.

Or maybe I thought we could have our own private party.

[Yeah, he's flirting. He's come a long ways.]

[stimulations]

[Two steps ahead of him. Very impressive.]

Did you develop telepathy when I wasn't looking?

TEXT;

[realslimstrider]

so long as there is food

TEXT;

[redhotsummers]

Yeah I got that, too. Will just be happy to see you.

TEXT;

[realslimstrider]

likewise
we can just chill out and let things happen for a bit
let things settle down

[ringbearer]

It's certainly been some time hasn't it? I can't seem to remember how long I've been here, time passes so strangely.

[ a small smile ]

But you seem to be well. I don't think celebrating being fine is anything strange at all.

video;

[redhotsummers]

I'm doing fine right now, at least.

[He quirks an eyebrow.]

How are you, though?

[endeavors]

Didn't think anyone would be counting.

[a full year. Jesus.]

[redhotsummers]

Not hard when every new batch gets a month smacked onto their arm.
