Day 315 [Voice / Action]
[Voice]
A very quick question, if you have a moment to answer: where is the best place to drink and socialize in Marina?

I'm disappointed in myself for being here for twenty-two days without asking for a definitive answer to this.

[Action]
[With Korra gone, an empty Starfleet apartment, and no well-established friends to speak of, Chekov has no idea what to do with himself. There aren't math-heavy projects or engineering conundrums to provide a distraction. There isn't even a star-filled night sky to look at and map and imagine traveling. There's nothing but ocean and a growing dysphoria that is equal parts restlessness, boredom, and loneliness.

A decent bar with decent alcohol and decent company would improve Chekov's mood immensely, even with the wardens' highly prohibitive rules concerning alcohol. Since he has not found such a thing yet, he goes about his day with an uncharacteristic sullenness.

He spends several unhappy hours patrolling sectors three, four, and five. He drops by the sports complex at the warden's suggestion and, when none of the offered programs catch his interest, elects to sit on the sidelines and scribble out impossible ideas in a notepad. (Maybe he will be given rehabilitation points for being in the general vicinity of today's activities?) Chekov is careful not to look too busy, however; he doesn't want to do anything to discourage other inmates from striking up a conversation.]

	Regrettably, yes. I found being in a virtual prison somewhat distracting. Do you have any recommendations, sir? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It really can have a way of putting a damper on one's social life. I'm probably not going to be much help, unfortunately. I spend some time at Sizzle & Sear, and I'll drop in at The Winery occasionally, but I've never been much for the bar scene. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Neither have I. Where I have been living, options are limited to a single small bar or a suspect distillery in Engineering... not that there was much time to visit either. Prison has given me an overwhelming amount of free time and far too many bars to choose from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course. I can think of no better place to keep a distillery on a starship. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You sound as though you have not spent time on starships. If you don't travel space or frequent bars, what do you do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're right, those are the two options for passing time most people go with. [ Seriously, though? ] Forensic science. Well, at home, anyway. Less call for it here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Well, what do you do for fun in your universe?] Is there any call for it? There may be many criminals, but very few crimes that would require evidence. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He kills people, duh. Oldest hobby in the world. ] I've taught some classes on the topic, for any who happen to have an interest, but no. There isn't really any need to collect evidence for violent crimes here. Not with our caretakers looking over us so closely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Wasn't prostitution the oldest hobby in the world? Or does that fall strictly under jobs?]

I would take such a class. It would never be practical at home, but the topic is interesting.

This place has a way of taking all of us away from our preferred professions. The wardens must think that encouraging us to expand our range of interests will help us in our rehabilitation.
