our troubles are all the same

CHARACTERS: Wichita and YOU. well, the bartenders and bar regulars. or not-regulars!
LOCATION: Space Babylon
WARNINGS: booze?
SUMMARY: No special occasion here, just an open post for anybody that frequents the space bar. mix and mingle, friends. put up open threads for your characters, or talk to Wichita, or. whatever. anything goes!


[ it's been nearly a week since the last jump, and Wichita's still in a shit mood. which she hates to admit, but it's the truth. she misses Brendan, way way too much. no really, it's too much. she's furious with herself for letting herself get that attached to someone, because she knew, she knew this could happen and it's still chewing up her insides like something our of a dramatic chickflick. her life feels like a sad, sappy little montage from a really terrible space-romance movie right now, and it's making her feel even worse than losing him in the first place. she isn't getting trashed ( at least, she hasn't yet ) and she isn't wasting bullets at the gun range, she's just- doing nothing. at the bar. she's spending all her time at the bar like serving drinks and distracting herself with other people's problems will make hers go away.

it's failing, but whatever. it's easier to not get angry or sad over the situation if she doesn't let herself think about it too much.

so there she is, behind the bar, Jenna's iPod providing a decent mix of tunes over the speakers possibly a little too loud because she doesn't care to overhear anybody's conversations today. either that, or she's too lazy to turn down the volume. either way. she's not looking all that approachable ( at least, not as much as she usually does while she's here ), but she'll probably be the one mixing your drinks today, so. hope you're not too put-off by that. then again, if you're somebody she actually wants to talk to, she might stretch a smile across her face for your benefit. which is the closest thing to a 'no please come talk to me' you'll ever get from her.

Damn. I can't say I've ever had the real thing - not from Earth, anyway. Champagne grapes grow pretty well some places back home, though, an' I've had sparkling wine from those. Not really my thing, though.

[He has a drink, then shrugs.] You found anything here that's more tolerable than the rest of 'em?

I had a team-mate here briefly. She has this ability to manipulate probabilities. [He raises his glass slightly.] I had her hex some things to the real deal.

[He sighs.]

She's gone now and all I have left is a dwindling supply.

[Sent back to die and he couldn't do a thing about it. Tony manages to keep his misery hidden and there's only a wistfulness shown as if losing his supplier was the worst thing.]

[Yeah, most of what's in the first few sentences makes zero sense to him. Manipulating probabilities to make better alcohol? But he lets it go because honestly, the details don't matter.]

Shame, it woulda been nice to have more of that goin' around. Still, at least this stuff's plenty effective, huh?
