Who: Duke Crocker and Audrey Parker
What: Oh, so this is what the Festival's about...
Where: Callisto Deck, Starlight Park
When: During the Festival
Rating: Probably low, will change if needed



Audrey was looking forward to the festival. It was one of those things that promised to break up the monotony of space. Being on a space ship at first wasn't terrible at the beginning, but the novelty quickly wore off. Being on Naboo was nice and she had enjoyed the fresh air and what it had to offer. Of course, just as they had gotten comfortable, they were back on the ship. The festival promised a nice distraction. Besides, getting a new roommate had been... well, he seemed nice. She had just gotten used to being alone for a while and now she remember what it was like being back in the dorms of college - or what she remembered from the real Audrey's memory of college.

Of course, she hadn't really been prepared for what the festival as really about. She had dressed up for the occasion and now felt strangely... over dressed. She stood beside Duke a little awkwardly. "So... this is new."

Duke had started out the night distracted. He'd sort of been less jeans and a t-shirt himself, but Audrey. Audrey had chosen an outfit that he...wasn't used to. He'd seen her in dresses before, but somehow, he was caught off guard each time it happened.

But this? This was...definitely not what he'd been expecting. "Yeah," he agreed, looking around. "That's...yep. That is...something there." A festival for sex and fertility. He felt like he'd gotten caught up in that and almost died. "We don't...have to stay if you don't want to." Because he didn't think she'd want to stick around for something like this. Not that he actually minded the sex, but he hadn't actually been a 'sex in public' sort of person either.

She blinked, not really sure where to look or what to do. It didn't seem like it was all sex all the time, but that definitely seemed the point, even in the area deemed 'less adult'. For a moment she wondered if she'd feel as weird about this if she came along and then she realized that, yes, she would have. She glanced to Duke. "Well, I mean... are you planning to -" She gestured out in front of her vaguely. "Find someone?"

Suddenly there was a woman in front of them with a wide smile who did a little head bow. She spouted off a few beneficial things about sex to them and how doing it tonight would be advisable. Then she handed out a small pamphlet to both her and Duke before moving on to different people. Audrey looked down at the pamphlet and realized it was like a small version of the kama sutra, though these positions were apparently the ones to use for the festival. She cleared her throat. "Well, out of all the times I've been handed fliers, I can say this is a first."

Duke peered at Audrey for a moment before turning his gaze to the space around him. "Yeah, that's a hard pass. Privacy is...yeah." He arched an eyebrow. "Why? You planning on finding love in an open place?" He was a little amused by himself for that one.

He stood still, watching the woman in question and looking between her and Audrey for a moment before he took the pamphlet. "Mmm." It was a very intelligent response. "Yeah, I've done some of these before." He looked at the pamphlet one more time before sticking it in his back pocket. "Also, the last time fertility came into the equation, we both know what happened, so..."

She gave him a look when he made the joke, but it quickly moved to a small amused expression. "No. I don't think this is the place to start looking for that kind of thing."

Her eyes were not really on the pamphlet until Duke mentioned he did some of them. Her eyes moved to actually focus on it. "You have not done some of these." Even though she said that, she knew Duke had a much more adventurous sex life than her - as far as she could remember, anyway - and he probably had done some of them. She looked back over at him and definitely wanted to ask which ones. The question was on the tip of her tongue, but in the end she decided not to ask. Instead, she looked over to where drinks were being sold. "...What are the odds those drinks aren't laced with anything?"

He smiled, feeling a hint of victory at his joke going over well. There was also a flush or relief at the fact that she wasn't seemingly interested in finding someone. "There somewhere else that is the place to start looking for that kind of thing? Just curious."

There was a hint of amusement on his face at her statement. "Are you insinuating I've done more than some or doubting my having done them, because I have stories." But he was pretty sure that Audrey had no interest in his sexual escapades and he didn't really want to talk about them. He glanced over at the drinks. "With what? Viagra? You think they'd lace their drinks with sex drugs? I mean, they might, but I don't know."

"Your guess is as good as mine." She meant about the place to look for love. She didn't know how a lot of her other selves fared, but she knew she wasn't super lucky in the love department.

She looked at him about the positions. If she was being truthful, she believed him that he had done some of those positions. He had definitely done more than she had, or at least that she was aware of. Audrey veered quickly away from wondering if Mara was the type to be super adventurous. Instead, she focused on the drinks. "Yeah, actually. I was kind of thinking that. Kind of like a 'harmless' way to get people in the mood." And it bothered her on a couple of levels, but mostly that she was a cop and she considered that illegal, but even if they were doing that, she couldn't do anything about it.

"I don't know if my new roommate is around or not, but I have definitely-not-rooffeed drinks back in my room." Her eyes roamed back to Duke because looking at Duke was far safer than letting her eyes wander.

He noted the lack of comment about his stories, but he didn't say anything about it. "I guess that's fair." Not that he was overly concerned with the concept of people trying to drug him. "No one else seems worried about it, though."

But then she mentioned drinks in her room. He tried very hard not to think about what that could lead to because they'd been there before. "You sure you want to be inviting me to your room for drinks? Is it for my stories?"

She let out a soft laugh, partially because Duke had managed to relieved some of the tension she felt for some reason. It wasn't that Audrey was against sex or even the display of it, but being here with Duke put her more on edge than she realized and she was afraid to stop and analyze why. "I'm not sure hearing about your escapades would be endearing unless there are ones where you end up naked on a pier with just your underwear and a gun."

"Hey. Don't knock waking up in a weird place in just your underwear. I mean, I wouldn't say I ever had a gun on me in those instances, but it would have made for an entertaining story." But he was doing his best to keep things light and airy because he didn't really want to get serious or admit to the fact that there was a part of him that very seriously wanted not to make jokes about sex with Audrey.

"But fine. I'll come back with you for drinks since you promised not to roofie me. I'll be very insulted if you somehow do it anyway." He flashed her his trademark Crocker smile before gesturing with his arm. "Lead the way, Officer Parker."

It was on the tip of her tongue - a comment about not needing to roofie him. It might have even been readable on her face as she glanced to him with a slight mischievous look in her eyes, but she managed not to say it in time considering it touched close to something she was a little worried might not be well received.

"Alright then. This way, Mr. Crocker." She gestured overly-dramatic and then moved to leave the weird festival.

He noted the look on her face, but he couldn't exactly say what she meant by it. It was just the sort of face he was used to before certain things happened. But he was pretty sure that was exactly not what was happening, she he pushed it out of his thoughts.

He followed after her. "Did you want to get food before we just drink on empty stomachs and then get potentially very drunk which we will regret in the morning."

"That kind of sounds like talk from a quitter, Duke." She was mostly joking as she walked. She would definitely regret it in the morning if she didn't eat something. "You have something in mind? Not really sure what will go well with space alcohol, but I'm willing to pair it with anything." She paused. "Also, that's something new I didn't think I'd ever say - space alcohol." She chuckled and shook her head.

"More like a man that realizes he's not in his early to mid twenties anymore." He pointed out. "Chicken...burgers...fries. We'll probably want something greasy tomorrow if we still manage to get drunk enough." Which was either a great idea or a terrible idea. "Or we can play first think we see is what we're getting like Russian roulette, but food."

She laughed. "Alright, why not? Russian Roulette with food sounds kind of fun. And if we don't like what we got, then I guess one of is going to get more drunk than the other." Had she seen Duke really drunk lately? No. Duke was also pretty good at holding his liquor. "Maybe we get one veto?"

There was a breathy laugh at the comment about one of them getting more drunk than the other. "A dangerous wager, indeed." But he wasn't one to shy away from things that were actually dangerous, much less ones that were only vaguely dangerous. "All right. One veto and after that, we're stuck with whatever we come upon."

He took a few steps, rounding the corner and looked up at what appeared to be some alien version of sushi. He wasn't sure what he actually recognized, so he looked over at Audrey. "So what's the verdict. Are we adventurous or no?"

Her lips formed an amused sort of grin that was maybe a little competitive. She couldn't help it. Duke often brought that part out in her. "What's the matter, Duke? Going to chicken out on me now?"

The playful look held on her face and maybe normally she'd have played it safe, but what the hell - tonight had been weird enough. She moved passed him, turning to keep her eyes on him while she bit her bottom lips a little and grabbed the first thing her hand touched on the shelf. Her hand came away with something purple and muffin-shaped, but what it was - who knew?

"I would never chicken out." Because this was not the first time he'd been in a truly unusual situation. Plus, it was probably not the weirdest thing he'd done in a while. Just to prove a point, he reached out and picked something. It looked mostly slimy and kind of gross. Oh well. He guessed he could drink enough to make sure he didn't care what he ate.

"Come on then," he said after he paid for the food. "Lets take this absolutely gross...whatever it is and drink until it seems like it's worth eating."

She liked the challenge and she was feeling pretty good about her pick because at least it didn't look slimy. When they got back to her room, she was happy to find her roommate was gone, though when she'd be back - who knew. She was thankful for the booze she had, though.

She look over at him as she took a sip of her drink, feeling the buzz already running through her now that they had been drinking for a while. "Okay okay. Are we ready to put weird things in our mouths yet?"

Duke was officially buzzed. He thought he hid it fairly well, though. But the upsetting and slimy food sitting by him still didn't look any more appealing than it had when he started. And he'd done his best to jumpstart the alcohol content in his body to make sure he'd care less. He was still going to care a little.

Staring at the drink, he frowned slightly. "Not the first time someone's probably said that in their lives," he said, the amusement at his statement distracting him from the displeasure of the idea of putting whatever slimy food he'd chosen in his mouth. It smelled like cabbage and bottom dwelling fish. "But yeah. Yeah. We can do this now."

She looked at Duke and his choice of food and she couldn't help it, she burst out in laughter. She laughed uninhibitedly and then shook her head. "I have an idea. How about we have to eat a little bit of both? That way we can share in each other's pain and I won't feel like a complete jerk for making you stomach that thing on your own."

Her laughter made him roll his eyes. "After laughing at me, it's the least you can do." He held up his dish, cutting a little bit off and shoving it off toward her side of things. Then he took a bit himself and swallowed a very big drink to get it down. It was definitely slimy. It was not great, but he'd eat it anyway. "Your turn."

"That look on your face, Duke." Still, a deal was a deal and she picked up her half, instantly regretting making this offer.

"Alright, here goes nothing." She tilted her head back, a bit more showy and dramatic than she might have if she wasn't buzzed, and lifted up the item. It hovered over her mouth for a moment before she dropped it in. Audrey looked at Duke with a pained expression as she chewed... and chewed... and chewed and then was clearly trying to swallow instead of laugh and she hastily reached for her drink to wash it down.

"Blah." She stuck out her tongue and shook her head. "Definitely not going to be racing back to get more of that." She made a face. "That aftertaste though..." She took a long pull from her bottle of alcohol, maybe a little bit too much for one go, and but she managed to get the taste to go away, even if she was feeling a little lighter now.

"Alright, up for round two?" She lifted up her purple muffin thing.

"It is a reasonable look for what I just put in my mouth," he replied, absolutely regretting his choice in food, but it could have been so much worse. He did his best not to chuckle as he watched her eat her half of the food.

"Told you it was gross." But he was glad it was over with anyway. To make a point, he took another long drink to try to make his mouth taste like alcohol and not cabbage. "Hey. These aliens clearly have some kind of idea of what flavors they like. They don't make any sense to me, but I'll remember it for later." Like if he ever decided to make gross, slimy things that no one wanted to eat.

He looked at the purple muffin, nose wrinkling slightly. It was probably not as bad as whatever slimy monstrosity they'd just eaten. "All right," he said after a moment, taking a half of the muffin. "At the same time?"

"Yeah, same time." She nodded and then took his lead to put it in her mouth. At first, she thought it was going to be a winner, but then she chewed some more and the taste of fermentation seeped in and Audrey was reaching for her bottle of booze faster than she had with Duke's slimy sushi. Unfortunately with the speed of which she tried to wash away the taste, more booze fell down the front of her chest than in her mouth.

Food forgotten, she let out a small yelp as she reacted automatically and without reservations thanks to the alcohol. The shirt she was wearing came right off, leaving her in her bra as she used her shirt to dry her chest. "God, that was even grosser."

Duke chewed on his and wrinkled his nose. He'd take the cabbage over this any day. He took a drink, temporarily distracted as Audrey spilled her drink on her shirt. He was trying not to focus too much on the fact that her reaction to it was just to take her shirt off. It wasn't the first time that he'd seen Audrey in just a bra or even less clothed...technically. And it wasn't like he hadn't worn less in front of her before either. It was just that she somehow managed to always take his breath away and his attention.

"So gross you forgot how to drink, apparently." He chuckled before nonchalantly taking a sip from his drink. He allowed himself another look, not exactly as subtle about it as he might have been if he was sober. Then again, he would be more quick to make a joke about it if he was more sober, so it wouldn't matter so much about it.

"Hey, I know plenty how to drink." She looked at him with a playful pout of a look and then realized her shirt was ruined and she was, well, shirtless. She looked down and let out a lame. "Whoops."

"One second." She stood up and moved over to her little area with the dresser. He back to Duke, Audrey should have just grabbed another shirt. Instead, it seemed like a much better idea to undo her bra and slip out of it before reaching for a tank top and pulling it over her head. Bras were uncomfortable anyways.

She re-joined Duke after unceremoniously. "There, problem solved." Mostly, anyway.

Duke definitely stared. Oh, he hated his life. "Don't think you technically know how to drink right now." Yep. That was what he was going to comment on. He definitely needed more to drink, which is exactly what he did.

"I...should...we are..." Yep. Good words. "If I stay here, I am going to drink more and definitely do or say something one of us might regret." That being said, he got up very carefully. Now he was the Audrey in the situation. "I'm glad you got a dry shirt."

Had she been thinking a little more clearly, Audrey would have probably recognized that something was off with Duke as he stood to leave. As it was, she only got a little inkling, though she did frown as she followed to stay up with Duke. "Are you sure? There's still like -" She glanced back at the table and realized they made a big dent in the collection she had kept in the room. "- Well, some left."

She slipped her hands into the back pockets of her jeans which drew her shoulders back and probably did not help with the situation at all as she tilted her head a little, silently asking 'are you sure?' again.

Duke nodded. "Oh, there's definitely some left, but I think someone is a little more drunk than me right now and I would like to not ruin our friendship, so I'm just...gonna go. And you have no idea how much that pains me to say, but I'd better leave on a good note." He wasn't sure he was all that much less drunk than Audrey, but by his estimate, all he had to do was at least walk some of the way and if he passed out in the hallway, he'd be okay...probably.

"I'll see you in the morning, Audrey."

Somewhere as Duke had been talking her eyes had drifted to his mouth and she held her gaze there until she heard her name and she looked back up like she was remembering herself. "...Right. Yes. Okay." She smiled, her expression a little muddled for some reason her brain wouldn't connect to. "See you in the morning, Duke."
