Max and OTA

Max took a deep breath, shaking off the tension in her shoulders as she moved toward the bar. She wasn't someone to shy away from work, so when the Captain had suggested she look at the Mess Hall as a place to spend some of the now ample amount of time she had on her hands, she'd jumped at it. And, in case anyone was wondering, she didn't feel even a little bit bad about telling a little white lie... It wasn't her fault that stupid Chef Nicholas had dropped everything to return to his wife in France and shut down the school before she got a chance to graduate.

Still, kitchen work (even if it was baking, which she loved) wasn't easy, especially if she couldn't partake of her usual ways of relieving stress. The doctors had confiscated the small amount of weed she'd had on her when she showed up, her candy cane shaped vibrator was still in her bedroom drawer in Brooklyn, and she didn't know enough people on board yet to figure out if anyone would be down for a no-strings hook up. She didn't normally drink (she'd seen too many girls incapacitated by drink over the years) but if that was all that was available to her, then damnit, she'd take it.

She slid onto a barstool and waited for the bartender to acknowledge her before placing her order for something 'fruity but alien-y'. After all the years she'd spent serving, she knew better than to just shout at someone who was handling your food and drink.

Max and Darcy

Darcy had never been to the lounge area before. So she thought why not tonight. Already she came in wearing her casual clothes, nothing crazy. Her knitted cap over her thick brown hair. Blue-green eyes looked around for the moment. She almost didn't catch it. But as she did a double take she came to stand still. Was that...?

Already she walked towards that particular stool and came to tap the girl on the shoulders. Darcy's eyes widen through her thin glasses as she came to look at... Herself? She wasn't sure. Already she came to tilt her head. "Please tell me your names, not Darcy?" That was the last thing she needed. Though this on its own was freaky enough.

"Darcy? As in Mister?" Max rolled her eyes, because it wasn't the first time someone had tried to hit on her in a bar. Or by calling her someone else's name. Or by a woman. However, it was definitely the first time all three of those things happened at once. Part of her wanted to turn and walk away, but the ship wasn't that big and until Security gave her knives back, she was more defenseless than normal.

So she turned, her glass pausing halfway to her mouth.

Darcy came to make a face at this one who looked like her but was still very different. "No, no parent trap. Just the multi verse doing what it does best." She replied as she looked to the tender and asked for a beer. once it came she looked back to this one.

"I'm Darcy.... You????" She asked with a kinked brow as she pushed her glasses back up the bridge of her nose and just stared at this one with such confusion at this point.

	"Kidnapping people across realities is what it does best?" Max's incredulity was clear in her voice, in the way it rose in tandem with her eyebrows. "I thought it was best at fucking me over." Max sipped at her drink, thankful for the way the cool, thick liquid distracted her from the person at hand. "Max." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, we're from all over the place." She replied as she took a seat next to Max and sipped her own drink. "Where are you from?" She asked as she came to fix her glasses once more and sip at her beer for the moment. It was almost creepy how alike they looked if Darcy didn't have glasses people wouldn;t be able to tell them apart. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Max was not someone who got weirded out often, she'd lived in New York for far too long to let that happen, but this girl sitting beside her wearing her face was definitely starting to weird her out. The similarities were obvious and their differences... Well, Max would be fucked to find them. But it had only been a couple of minutes, so maybe talking to her more would highlight them. But they had the same dark hair (Max thought hers was a shade or two darker and probably a little longer), same height, similar build (again, Max thought she was bustier and she was thankful for that because a person could take her face but Jibbers Crabst help them if they tried to take her boobs). After a closer look, though, leaning in to see well enough in the low-light of the lounge, Darcy's eyes were a slightly different color- more green behind her glasses to Max's grey-blue.

"Brooklyn." By way of Rhode Island, but she wasn't exactly going to share that. Especially since she was never going there again if she could avoid it. "You?"

Darcy blinked a little as Max came close to her face. Only to lean back a little and lift a brow at her for the moment. "Same." She replied as she shrugged her shoulders. "But before coming here I was in London." She replied as she sipped her beer once more. Darcy wasn't too weirded out. After all, she meets a Thunder God and battled Dark Elves. She could handle this.

"What did you do back in Brooklyn? I went to school, before interning for Jane Foster and going to New Mexico and then London." She replied as she brushed her hair back and adjusted her knit cap for the moment.

"School? How old are you?" Max asked, settling back in her seat. Because Max had just turned 31 and she knew she didn't look it. If Darcy was still in school, she was likely at least a few years younger. Unless she was a fuck up, like Max was. Or had been. Before she met Caroline.

"I've got a cupcake shop in Williamsburg," she said, taking another sip and relaxing as the large amount of rum in her drink seemed to be starting to hit her bloodstream. It could have just been wishful thinking. Like maybe if she bribed the Captain or the Chief Medical Officer, maybe they'd give her weed back. "And I'm a waitress. And part time horse walker. But I used to be a nanny. And a drug mule."

	And there was the what the fuck face. "Well, I'm not in school anymore. I graduated before showing up here." She added as she came to finish her beer. When she mentioned cupcakes Darcy did smile. "I love cupcakes. I bake them also, but as a hobby." She replied with a nod of her head. "My degrees are mechanical engineering and Poli Sci." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"...I've heard of both those things." But that was about it. "My... best friend. Caroline? She was a business major. Went to Wharton." Another (bigger) drink that very nearly gave her brain freeze, but Max was hardier than that. "I went to the Manhattan School of Pastry. But that was like, way after I started my business."

	She came to nod her head as she listened to Max talks about her life a little. "Well, aside from looking like we're completely different. So that's a good thing." She replied laughing lightly as she finished her beer and pushed the empty bottle to towards the tender to discard of it. "Well, if you need anything let me know. Maybe I can help. I've been here a few months." (Reply to this) (Parent)
