[ Wichita is not. a happy. camper. and it's very obvious by her tone, the fact that this is a voice transmission instead of a video and the fact that she hasn't left the bar since she got there earlier today.

in fact, a note to all you Space Babylon regulars, the doors to the bar have been locked ( by her ) and there's no music coming from inside it either. just normal, boring silence. on the transmission, you can probably hear the slosh of booze inside of a near empty bottle ( it was nearly empty when she got here, mind. some of the bottles stopped refilling themselves each jump. isn't that great? ) and the smack of her lips once she finishes her sip before she starts talking ]

To everyone that was fr- that knew Brian Kinney, crew member 006 » 033, I've got some bad news. Or good news, if you're an optimist, which I'm not. He went home last jump. Went to sleep here, woke up not-here.

Which I guess puts me in charge of the bar.

[ hence the doors being locked and the general 'fuck off' vibe of the place ]

Are there any bartenders on board that wouldn't mind working for free? 'Work' is a loose term, I mostly just sit around drinking with people whenever I'm here. Or if anybody wants to.. be here regularly and help make sure it doesn't turn into a crapfest, let me know. Assholes need not apply. [ because nobody will ever be a better asshole than Brian. ..wait, ew. she takes another sip, and only cuts herself off when she hears the tell-tale 'whoa whoa whoa!' of her mini Wall-E bumping into something in the near-dark. ]

Did your light go out again, bud? [ the one she fashioned onto his front in case the power went ut again. or, in the case, when Wichita decides she can't deal with colored strobe lights guiding the little cleaning bot's path ] Here, c'mere- [ aaaand the feed cuts ]

[Because having Iron Man here is totally normal yup.]

well i guess if they're going to have robot rights activists
being in space would be the place to do it.
has the whole 'sci-fi' thing going already.

[That's how Jo's Logical Brain works okay.]

and that right there is an equation for some real fun nights.
only the best kind of people go straight for the hard stuff.
i can only imagine what your busy nights are like.

[ jo logic is similar to wichita logic, so that works out ]

Our busy nights are kind of a mixed bag. Sometimes it's because things are getting boring and a group of people decides it's time to party, which is fun, or it's because hell broke loose and people need to drink off the horror fest vibe it leaves behind, which is not as fun. [ she's got both of her hands up like scales, tipping up and down. not that she can see that ]

[instant friends?]

that second part sounds more like home.
but i feel like that first part is more what people need around here.
if i were the type to judge based off of the general sense of 'fuck off' i've seen.

[ pretty much!

and that makes her laugh, even though it shouldn't ]

Yeah, people're getting kinda stircrazy, I think. Couple jumps ago, some of the crew didn't wake up for the full month or whatever, and then.. nothing happened. I mean there was this messed up transmission, but nothing came of it. So I think everyone's just feeling a little edgy. Plus people keep running into the resident monsters on board, which sucks, since we thought they were all dead.

well if stircrazy is the biggest bad i have to deal with
i might want to jump on that bartending gig.
if you haven't given it out to someone else already, i mean.

[also, resident monsters? ding ding ding you've caught jo's attention.]

resident monsters?

[Dean and Sam mentioned those to her, but it never hurts to get more info from other sources.]

Well, for now, sure. I'd pull out the old 'calm before the storm' warning, but it's like living in- I dunno, somewhere that the weather's kinda always shitty, but there's like a day or two of silence in between so you don't go completely nuts within a few weeks.

[ siiiigh. that gains another sip, but then she's 'mn!' oh. monsters, right. ]

Yeah, yeah. As far as I know, which isn't too much, they're weird human monster hybrid things. Pretty sure it was a science experiment gone wrong, back with the original crew. They're, uh. Angry. And violent.

guess that's fitting since there's no weather here.

[does that mean she has the job, wichita???? :D]

and i'm gonna take a guess and say that they're hella difficult to kill?

They're just fast, that's all. I'm pretty sure a headshot kills them off. I was kinda delirious last time I saw one, so I wouldn't take my word for it.

-- Oh, yeah you can bartend here if you want, by the way. Forget if I said so.

good to know.
not that the ship gave me any of my guns when i showed up but hey.
at least we have a theory.

yeah?

[score!]

do you have hours or shifts or anything?
or do you just want me to show up?

It didn't? Bummer. I got my gun, but it was kind of in my hand when I got sucked here, so maybe that's why.

No hours or shifts, the bar's open all the time but people generally know not to stick around if nobody's behind the actual bar. Uhh. I don't think I could handle shifts, so. Whenever you wanna come by, just do it. It's on the 6th passenger floor.

yeah i kind of handed mine off to a friend.

[and then died but hey, details.]

so it's literally a free for all.
except you've got the keys to open it and close it.
i'm guessing you're there now?

Not even keys, just my tattoo thing. It's like how our bedroom doors know to slide open for us, I dunno. Somehow the bar knows that since Brian's gone home, I'm the one that's going to be spending most of her time here.

And I am, in fact, here now, yes.

somehow the bar knows.
right. okay. sure.

you going to be there for long?

Yeah, like how our rooms know and our lockers know. And, umm, maybe. Though I've been telling people to come check out the bar tomorrow to see what's what.

tomorrow works better anyway.
any certain time or just a stop on by sorta thing?

Oh, I'll probably be here all day. Just shoot me a text when you're on your way over or whatever. Or if you get here and I'm actually.. not. Yeah.

will do.
