week 4

[airlockedmods]

[Just like the previous week the status quo is restored with frighteningly quick efficiency. PAL still makes the morning and night time announcements through the PIP on each Champion's arm, and still the Champion unitards are freshly laundered and re-hung each morning in their closets. Even the glass roses Choromatsu and Takumi broke after the trial in their fit of anger have been replaced with fresh ones. All signs that there was anything amiss this weekend are completely gone.

There's a new floor to explore, their "reward" for a job well done.]

Good choice. [She crouches down and paws through the mini-fridge under the bar for something.] I got a job bartending during my first internship to pay my bills. My boss had nine arms and taught me everything ze knew about mixology. I didn't retain all of it but enough to make some damn good cocktails.

[plugout]

Nine--

[ ... you'd think after everything Rhys has seen and heard he wouldn't be weirded out. But he is. ]

Was your boss an alien?

[ like, the aliens that Church deals with... or... ]

[theundertaker]

Well, yeah. [She blinks, surprised he even has to ask.] Humans are a rarity in most of this part of the galaxy. [She finds what she's looking for, a bottle of ginger beer, and pops back up.] You guys are the first ones I've ever met.

[plugout]

They don't, uh... You know... With-- Nevermind.

[ ... He's not gonna mention it. Geez. Get it together, Rhys!! ]

But, seriously? I thought humans would... you know, be all over the place.

[theundertaker]

There are pockets of human colonies here and there who escaped from when the Dick Elders took over Earth about a thousand years ago and survived up until now but they mostly keep to themselves. [She twists off the top of the ginger beer and pours it into the tall glass she's been working on before sliding it over to him.] A full biotic kick for a part biotic buddy. Enjoy.

[plugout]

Dick El-- riiiiight, forgot that was a thing.

[ he did not.

But anyway, he takes the glass and grins a little. ]

Thanks, Cece.

[ And he'll go ahead and take a sip! What's in this thing, anyway? ]

[theundertaker]

[There's definitely bourbon, a hint of orange, a strong ginger flavor from the ginger beer and something else Rhys won't quite be able to identify but it's very dry.

It's a bit of a punch in the teeth but overall a very tasty cocktail.]

[plugout]

Whoa.

[ He takes another sip. It's sure a hell of a drink, but it's good. ]

This is really great. Hey, I bet if you were a Champion, you'd be the Champion Drink Mixer.

[ ... that's probably tasteless, which he realizes, because he groans a little. ]

Sorry. That was. I mean-- I wouldn't want you in something like this.
