Journal & Action

-1 : Journal-

You know, I'm a little shocked. I know I'm a cold-yet-spicy, and I know my breath smells like alcohol and cigarettes, but here we are at a theme park, the perfect place for a date, and I've been going around it all my lonesome.

Come now, ladies, gentlemen. In this age, when's the next time you'll get to go on a theme park date?

-2 : Action-

[On a prior night, Loraine is in a tacky aquarium themed bar in Fairy Park, colors of blue and purple luvdiscs everywhere. A mermaid costumed beauty sits halfway out of a tank, mixing drinks. She's drinking some kind of red, blended drink. She seems ... thoughtful. Perhaps the liquor has put a downer on her mood tonight.]

This place is tacky as all get out, but... no one here seems to much for want.

[She stares over at a grand piano, which she considers desecrated by all of the decorations, making it look like a giant clam with black and white musical teeth.]

... I wonder if they need a pianist.

Wow, really? Fuck this, then.

[Roads quickly downs the rest of his drink, then orders a couple of shots.]

My liver will just have to take one for the team.

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

Now that's the spirit! [she finished her drink, ordered another one, and lit a cigarette]

[She's a doctor???]

We have to enjoy life when we can~

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

Heh, that's the spirit.

[And drinking ensues! Roads is having no problem, at least not yet.]

To be honest, I'm rather surprised that there was more than one woman aboard who wasn't a teenager...

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

Well Ayame is a respectable grown woman.

[A drunken thought occurs to Loraine]

Don't like younger women, huh~~?

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

Not when they're a solid decade younger than me, no.

...They shouldn't even be here in the first place...

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

A decade?

How old are you, Roads?

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

Uh...figuring it exactly is a bit hard, what with the calendar changes and all, but...around 30, I think.

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

30 and single? My my, how unfortunate for you.

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

H-hey, shit happens!

And you're hardly one to talk, you know!

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

What do you know? Maybe I'm seeing someone.

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

And maybe I'm the king of Australia.

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

I'm insulted you think a woman of my caliber having a lover is so outlandish.

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

What's the lucky guy's name, then?

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

It's not like he and I are steady or anythingQ~

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

Then I shall maintain the null hypothesis that you are, in fact, single, until proven otherwise by sufficient evidence.

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

And you are, in fact, losing points with one of the few older women on the ship~

[Then, attempted subject change.]

...Say, what'd you do before joining the White Chalice?

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

I was still a doctor.

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

Huh, cool.

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

It's a family trade, but really I don't care to talk about work.

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Me neither.

Still, doctoring's not the worst profession out there.

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

I'm a doctor because I know what I'm doing, not because I'm a good person.

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

Huh...conversely, I'm a soldier of fortune because I'm good at it.

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

It must be hard, risking your life for your daily bread.
