Welcome to the Yorktown Observatory Restaurant

Instead of the usual social gathering in the Deck Five Lounge, the Enterprise reserves a private room at the Yorktown Observatory Restaurant, which features food and drink from all over the galaxy and was built with all transparent materials, giving off the effect of actually dining directly in outer space.

	"That would be preferable, yes," he said, taking a swig out of his bottle. He held it up for Lucifer to see. "Bud Classic," he explained. "It tastes like piss but it goes down quick." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Right..." Lucifer agreed, before ordering whiskey for himself. He drank the double shot down and then told the bartender she could just leave the bottle if that was easier. "This goes down quicker," he pointed out, refilling his glass. "Tastes better too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I won't argue with that," Jim said, though he was content to just enjoy his beer, which wouldn't go to his head or anything of that kind. "Am I remembering correctly that you said alcohol doesn't actually affect you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not in the slightest," Lucifer confirmed, tipping back the second glass to illustrate his point. "I've even sampled everything aboard the ship. No luck." He poured the third and shrugged. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He leaned forward, his elbows on his thighs, as he considered this information. "I can't decide if that would be a blessing or a curse," Jim said. He thought for a moment. He wasn't sure if the Yorktown stocked Romulan ale, but if anywhere did, it would be here. He motioned for a waiter to come by and then leaned up to ask him if he had any of it in stock, a special favor, only one finger's worth here to him and no one else. The waiter, who looked a little dazed to be talking to the captain of the Enterprise, nodded and hurried away. "An experiment," Jim said with a smirk to Lucifer. "You don't mind, do you?"

	"Not at all, Captain," Lucifer said, leaning back, admiring how Kirk had commanded that attention and flustered the waiter. "So what sort of experiment will you be conducting tonight? And do I get to be your test subject?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lucifer & Kirk nottiberius 2017-04-09 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Romulan ale," Jim said casually. "Nastiest stuff in the galaxy. Thought we had some stashed on the ship but I couldn't find it. Hopefully no one got too caught up in it. Anyway, it's lethal. I'm just curious if it would affect you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Now this seems like a promising experiment," Lucifer agreed eagerly. He'd never been intoxicated a day in his life, and his life had been very long. He tried not to get his hopes up too high, but this certainly had more appeal than simply going through each drink at the Lounge one by one.

"At best I get drunk and at worst I die?" That was a bet he was willing to take, especially as he was still immortal. It was also possible the captain hadn't meant that literally, but who knew when it came to alien forms of alcohol.

	"Can you die?" Jim asked. He finished off his beer and pressed his hands against the table. "I mean, that's a legitimate question to ask, isn't it? Are you actually capable of dying, or should I start making plans to send you into life threatening situations so I don't lose any crew members?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lucifer & Kirk extraharley 2017-04-09 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	"I have died," Lucifer answered easily. "But it takes a lot to kill me, and I don't think any of that's available to you here, presently. So yes, send me in to life threatening situations, Captain!" That sounded positively thrilling. Just as he finished his statement, the waiter was back with a glass, and Lucifer looked at it with interest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Now that excitement and the expression on Lucifer's face worried Jim, slightly, and he sat back for a moment. "Any reservations about taking a drink? I've seen a lot of good men felled by a single sip of this stuff." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm afraid not," Lucifer replied easily, looking over at Kirk, who appeared to be possibly regretting his decision to experiment. But Lucifer wasn't the sort to hesitate when faced with new possibilities, so he took the glass and drank it down.

Placing his glass down on the table, Lucifer looked at Kirk. "Well that tastes terrible, doesn't it?" Really terrible. Of all the liquor Lucifer had sampled aboard the Enterprise, none had compared to this Romulan Ale. It was awful.

And then he laughed, suddenly and unexpectedly. "What the... "

	Jim drummed his fingers against the tabletop and his smile grew as he watched Lucifer examine the drink and then throw it back nearly immediately. He narrowed his eyes, laugh lines crinkling the corners of his eyes, and he waited. The stuff was awful. If Jim never tasted it again, it would be just fine in his book. "Enjoy that?" he laughed.

	"Bloody hell, Captain," Lucifer said, eyes wide. "I believe that went right to my head." He had to look at Kirk for a moment, as his vision was getting slightly fuzzy and it took him some time to bring the Captain back into focus. "Is it meant to work this quick?"

	Jim slapped the table and laughed again, shaking his head. "I'm honestly shocked you're still sitting upright," he said. "Most men I know would be under the table right now. You all right then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Alright? I'm bloody brilliant," Lucifer declared, laughing. How could he be anything but brilliant, really? "This is absolutely fascinating, the way my head feels like it's in this massive swirling fog that feels all warm and fuzzy."

Lucifer paused. "Did I just say warm and fuzzy?" He laughed again. Because it was warm and fuzzy and he was just going to embrace it.

	Jim laughed again. Now this was a little bit more exciting and entertaining than he expected. "Honestly, I didn't expect it to work," he said with a shrug. He motioned for another beer and then turned his attention back to Lucifer. "You're halfway to drunk then," Jim said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lucifer & Kirk extraharley 2017-04-11 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Only halfway?" Lucifer asked. "At what point do I start blurting out how attractive you are?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Lucifer & Kirk nottiberius 2017-04-11 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	"You're still coherent and not passed out, so you're not drunk," Jim drawled, though he accepted his bottle of beer and tipped it in Lucifer's direction with a grin and a laugh at the compliment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That seems to be a popular opinion, at least," Lucifer remarked, his gaze drifting over to where Mary and Kate were talking. He smirked. "And really, I was told that I was sort of handsome as well, as a consolation prize after getting to hear how handsome you were." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lucifer & Kirk nottiberius 2017-04-11 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	Jim laughed again. "That's nothing I haven't heard before. That I'm handsome, I mean. Not that you're handsome, though I'm sure I can see it." He threw back a swallow of beer. "At least, if I squint I can see it," he joked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"If you squint?" Lucifer said, feigning hurt. "Well then, Captain. I assumed you were getting me drunk to take me back to what I can only assume are very luxurious quarters, but apparently I was mistaken."

His attempt to keep up the pretense, however, was destroyed by the buzz he was still maintaining, and he all but giggled at himself. "Bloody hell," he said, "this stuff is lethal."

	Jim sipped his drink and shook his head. "Sorry to disappoint," he quipped, lifting a shoulder casually. His face moved into another grin as he watched Lucifer try to get ahold of himself. "I feel a little bit like my life is complete, getting the Devil drunk and all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You are the first, and probably the only one who will ever accomplish that," Lucifer said cheerfully, suddenly seeming to remember that he still had whiskey available to him.

He poured himself a new glass and took a sip, wondering if it would actually affect him now that he was slightly buzzed. But really, it tasted like water compared to the Romulan ale.

"If you've ruined me for whiskey..." Lucifer mentioned, taking another drink. But he couldn't remember what he was going to say after that.

	"It'll pass," Jim insisted. "In the morning, you're not going to have a problem with a whiskey if you want to have it for breakfast. It's just now with the taste of the ale on your mouth." He held up a hand with half a salute. "Scout's honor." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
