	Malcolm is in something of a funk with Captain Archer gone. Nothing serious but he's disappointed that his captain isn't with them. He's sitting in the lounge, nursing his drink, and looking like he doesn't quite know what to feel. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Caroline flitted around the lounge, checking in on everyone as she noticed their drinks starting to go down. When she came to Malcolm, she smiled broadly. "How are you doing with that drink?" she asked him. "Do you need a second?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It had been a long week for the traveler liaison offices, with several travelers disappearing over the last few days. It sometimes happened like that, in bursts where they lost many at the same time. It didn't make it any easier, either for those who lost friends or family or for Peggy and her team, when it came to processing and taking care of the needs of those who remained. So while she didn't always make it to the lounge, she absolutely made an exception that evening.

She chose to sit at the bar in the middle of the room, where she could see everything going on and who was there and who was coming in. She crossed her legs and held her wine glass carefully in her hand.

	"Well hello there," Lucifer said, having noticed Peggy's entrance, but he'd waited to greet her. Now he leaned across the bar, smiling at the impossibly deflective woman who he'd only somewhat gotten to know despite months on the ship. "Must have been a long day," he mused, glancing at Peggy and nodding at her glass. "Are you sure that's strong enough?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Try a long week," Peggy said, arching an eyebrow over at Lucifer. She glanced down at her wine and then back up at home. "What else do you suggest then?" she asked, sliding the glass onto the bar top and giving him a challenging look. He knew very well that she wasn't interested in being drunk, but she could appreciate a stronger drink now and again, in moderation, of course.

Peggy & Mary

2017-09-02 08:41 pm UTC (link)

Mary concurred that it had been a long week. It was always tough when people left en masse. She was still reeling from losing Tony a week ago. It was odd - in the wake of losing one Stark, she'd found comfort in the other. Howard, whom she was most assuredly 'dating' at this point, as well as doing a great deal more with, had a way of soothing her that always made her feel better. So, despite being sad about Tony, embarking on something new with Howard had made her incredibly happy, probably happier than she had been in a long time on the ship. For the first time in months she didn't wake up wishing that she was back at Downton.

She slid into the booth across from Peggy with a glass of wine of her own in her hand, sighing at the look on Peggy's face. "This week's been rather dreadful, hasn't it?"

Peggy's head was swimming a little bit from the stronger drink that Lucifer had offered to her and she had accepted. She smiled at Mary, glad to see the other woman whom she had gotten to know as a friend over the last several months. And to know that she and Howard had begun spending time together pleased Peggy as well.

"It's been difficult, yes, and very busy. How are you handling things?" she asked.

Peggy & Indy

Indy wandered into the lounge later that evening, having the need to be social, but not wanting to find too big of a crowd. He was grateful to see the crowd was small, and the music had calmed to jazzy piano, which was his preference.

Keen to try Klingon Blood Wine—whatever the hell that was—given Lucifer's description of it, he ordered it with some bread and took a look around the room. He lifted his hat a bit and spotted Peggy. He slid in beside her, placing the garlic bread between them. "You look like you've been in here a while tonight."

Yes, Peggy had remained in the lounge longer than she usually did, having enjoyed the company of Lucifer and Mary before nursing her third drink on her own. She turned, smiling, when Doctor Jones joined her. "I have, in fact," she said, shifting a little to straighten her shoulders and regard him curiously. "It's quieted down a little from how it was earlier in the evening."

Illya & OTA

redperilous
2017-09-02 09:12 pm UTC (link)

Several weeks in, Illya was starting to believe that this was real and not some drug-induced exercise set up by the KGB to test him. And honestly, that reality was a lot more frightening than any simulation. He still had to keep his wits about him, and wasn't about to let on that he was KGB yet.

This left him feeling rather isolated and bored. Illya was in the gym a lot, trying to keep up his training, but even he couldn't do that all the time. He tried played chess, usually against himself, as he was used to that. Illya always worked better alone, but even he could admit that playing chess required a partner in order to be meaningful.

Instead, he was sitting at the bar drinking vodka straight and sketching in a notepad. Even finding a notepad and pencil on this ship had been an ordeal and he'd had to essentially make them in the replicator machine. Drawing on the PADD just wasn't natural for him. While he was supposed to be an architect here, which meant that he probably should have been drawing buildings, instead he was sketching clothing. The big Russian had always had a passion for fashion, despite how odd that might seem. His current sketch was a jazzed up version of the female Starfleet uniform, which he kept adding to and then erasing. He knew the outfit was supposed to be function over form, but he felt like there was potential in the essentially blank dress that reminded him of the minidresses that ladies back home wore.

Illya and Widowmaker

2017-09-02 11:47 pm UTC (link)

The lounge wasn't a very defensible position, but Widowmaker still scanned the room as she entered, before she moved to the bar to order a glass of wine. She carried herself like someone used to more clandestine activities, though with her unusual skin color and the hardness of her eyes she probably wasn't exactly a spy. Her dress was a complimentary deep purple, with a plunging neck line and open back. It exposed the large black widow tattoo on her back, and the webbed cauchemar tattoo on her right arm. Nightmare in French.

She slid into a stool with practice grace.

To anyone who might have occasion to study such things, her accent would place her as being from the Annecy area of France. "Wine. Red, whatever you have for the top shelf."

It would have been impossible not to notice the woman sitting down next to him, particularly because she was so striking. Blue people didn't exactly exist in his time. Illya gave her a once over and wondered if her seating was strategic. Why it would be, he had no idea. So far nobody was playing any spy games with him.

He casually closed his notebook and put the pencil on top of it before taking a sip of his vodka. He certainly didn't have enough familiarity with French to place the accent beyond the country himself. It made him wonder why there were blue people in France. A lot of things had apparently changed since the 1960s.

Illya didn't start a conversation, preferring to wait and see if she wanted to say anything to him.

Harry Potter & OTA

theboywhos
2017-09-02 09:31 pm UTC (link)

Harry wasn't really the 'go down to the pub and have a pint' type, even after a long day's work, not unless Ron dragged him down to the Leaky or somewhere else before they both headed home. But with only a limited amount of things to do and places to be on the Enterprise, he found himself at the lounge that evening like many of his fellow travelers. He spotted a fair amount of the ship's crew there too, and that make him feel better about things.

After getting a beer, Harry headed for a dart board, a new feature that had been installed since their last stop over. He set his drink on a high top and gathered up the handful of darts intended for the game's use. He stepped back and tossed one over. It hit the board but didn't stick, but at least he had a feel for it now.

Oliver had been very happy when the dart board had appeared. He missed being able to practice with his bow as much as he could at home but the darts were the next best thing and he'd been spending a good deal of time in the lounge which Rose teased him mercilessly about.

Tonight he was actually not planning on playing darts, he was meeting Rose here when he got off his shift but she hadn't made it yet. He spotted someone over by the dart board and he couldn't stand it. He was too competitive and he wandered over to see if he could join in. "Want some company?" he asked.

Harry paused before making his next shot, starting to get the hang of it now, and stepped to the side to make room for the other man. "Sure," he said, reaching up to push his glasses up his nose. "Do you want to play a match with me?" He was competitive too, even if he didn't know yet if he'd be any good at darts. After all, seeking was his thing, not chasing, and this was more similar to being a chaser than being a seeker.

Carol & OTA

2017-09-02 10:36 pm UTC (link)

It was always hard when a lot of travelers left the ship at the same time. Carol had grown to like many of them and to enjoy their presence, even if they sometimes tried her patience about wanting to get into the weaponry bay. She was pretty firm on not letting any of them 'tinker' in there. While she was sure they were well-intentioned, that was one area of the ship where accidents could mean the lives of everyone aboard.

After her shift, Carol was sipping a beer and playing idly at one of the pool tables. Mostly she wanted to see how many she could get in the pocket. It was a game of angles, and Carol was working to calculate them in her head. She poised the cue just so, then paused to think before shifting a few millimeters to the left. After hitting the cue ball, it rolled across the table and smacked into her target, sending the ball off in the direction that she had predicted and right into the pocket.

Poe had to admit he was disappointed that Kylo hadn't been on the list of those who had been returned to where they'd come from. But since he'd been working with Jaina he was less worried about the other man working his way inside his head again. He certainly treasured his girlfriends help.

He noticed she was talking to her sister-in-law at the bar so he made his way over to the pool tables. Noticing a woman on her own he watched her for a moment before stepping forward, "You're pretty good at that" he said with a smile, "Would you mind telling me how you play?" he asked, he'd watched a few times but never played so far.

There was something different in the air today. Perhaps it was that so many people had left lately. Though the ship was crowded as always, it still felt a little emptier. She hadn't even spoken with most of them, and she felt it.

Diana couldn't imagine what their friends must be feeling.

Every time she came to the lounge, she tried something new. Today was Tallesite Brandy. It had a nutty flavor to it, which was interesting. She chose a seat at the bar and swiveled to people watch.

Clark came into the lounge and made his way to the bar, sneaking beside Diana. He ordered a beer - not that it affected him at all - and took a seat. "Hey," he greeted her with a smile. "How are you?" It wasn't all that often that he could be found without Lois - with the exception of being in his quarters as they hadn't yet had an opportunity to move in together.

Jaina Solo and Tahiri Solo

thatkidcanfly
2017-09-03 02:51 am UTC (link)

Despite the unceertainly of things now that her siblings from another timeline were here, Jaina was in a good mood. She hadn't spoken to Rey aside from a greeting when she'd arrived and not spokent to Kylo Ren at all. That was definitely for the best since she would perfer to avoid him at all costs. As she has promised him, she'd been spending time with Poe in an effort to strengthen their bond. It was getting easier for him and while she knew it would never be the same as if he were Force sensitive, it was still much more than she had hoped for.

She walked into the lounge, looking around to see who was there and immediately spotted Tahiri behind the bar. Jaina hadn't known she was working tonight and she made her way over to the bar and sat down, giving her sister in law a big grin. "So do I get something awesome with the family discount?" The drinks were free anyway but she couldn't resist teasting Tahiri.

Tahiri couldn't help laughing as she mixed Jaina a good cocktail and pushed the glass across the bar to her. "You get me as your bartender," she offered, flashing her sister-in-law a bright grin.

Jaina looked happy, just as she had the last several times Tahiri had seen her. It was a good look on her, one she hadn't seen a lot of at home, and she couldn't helping thinking coming to this reality and this ship had been good for the both of them. "Where's Poe tonight?" she asked her with a knowing smirk. It had been pretty rare to find those two outside each other's company these days.

killerfrostbite
2017-09-03 08:45 pm UTC (link)

She's been no where but her room for the better part of a couple of days. She did attempt a holonovel on the holodeck, but she was so distracted she got shot out of the same chapter three times, so she gave up.

She couldn't quite express what she was feeling. Part of her was still relieved to be here. Another part of her was starting to get restless, and wished she was back home doing what she was good at. Given her few months of being Killer Frost, she hadn't done her real job in quite a while.

Tonight, though, she needed a distraction, to do something other than sit on her bed and research for the sake of research. So she ordered a glass of wine, an order of fries (it was a perfect pairing, as far as she was concerned), and a cupcake before setting up in a far corner. She grabbed a tray and then started to build an ice castle. Conjuring thin long pieces of ice out of the air, she balanced them against each other on the tray, slowly making them into a structure. She'd finished a pretty decent replica of the Disneyland castle before she took a break to eat her cupcake.

Peter stood and watched the white-haired girl play with ice for a long while before she took a break and he figured he was being a little bit too creepy and probably should either walk away or say something to her. For Merlin knows what reason, he chose to talk to her, ambling over and clearing his throat. "That's a cool castle," he said to her, standing off to the side but not making any assumptions regarding joining her. He held his own drink, a mild beer, in hand.
