why are our characters always drinking together

[solarcharged]

[ oh thank god because he's really not good at this.

He's quiet for a moment as he taps at the access panel for his cabin - the small single berth that he still shares with Midnighter, for all the sense it makes for two tall guys to cram in to one single person living space. But he's only in there for a moment, just to fetch the bottle of drinkable spirits (a rarity in this place) that he'd 'rescued' in the first few weeks. ]

Yeah, it might make for a nice vacation. I'll send you a post card or something. Let you know how the air is...

[ His smile is crooked as he reappears in the corridor, bottle in one hand. ]

This is the best thing you'll taste on this station, by the way. Guaranteed.

because...we're living vicariously through them

[resleeves]

Just don't die down there.

( that was as emotional as he was going to get. he was still raw from everything and from the knowledge that maybe someone that he'd met -- that he knew -- was behind this but he could still say that. )

Considering what I've been drinking, anything would be a step up. So, I'll be the judge of how good it is. If it makes my liver scream, we're good.

[solarcharged]

As if. Midnighter would kill me. One of them, anyway.

[ With the bottle rescued from his cabin, Apollo nudges the door control panel closed with his elbow as he leads the way onwards, down the corridor and towards the bar. Because day drinking in the bar feels slightly more respectable than day drinking in his cabin. Somehow. ]

Huh. I was going to try and sell you it on the virtues of its taste alone... but, okay, screaming liver. Got it. [ Apollo gives Kovacs a look of amused despair. ] Good to get your priorities clear up front.

[resleeves]

If liver disease hasn't killed me yet, it won't. Besides, this is a pretty new sleeves in the grand scheme of things.

( he'd put it through fucking hell while he'd had it but it was still young and in decent shape. it probably wouldn't stay that way but he was going to enjoy it while he could. )

You don't think they'd both kill you? Do they hate each other or something?

[solarcharged]

[ On the subject of Midnighters and their strained relationship with each other, Apollo is brief: ]

Maybe.

[ He shrugs and that's it; there's a certain awkwardness to it that he doesn't really want to air in public. Especially not on the corridor where both Midnighters live. Apollo moves on instead, choosing to focus on Kovacs and his iron liver. ]

New 'in the grand scheme of things'? What does that even mean...?

[ Apollo scrunches his nose with a grin at that; yeah, he'd forgotten that this wasn't exactly Kovacs' first body. ]

How long have you had this one for?

[resleeves]

Couple of months.

( ryker's body had been through a fucking a lot in that time but he'd managed to keep it one piece. why he was doing that, he wasn't sure but felt like something he should do for some reason. )

They gave it to me when they took me off ice. They filled the one I had before that with bullets. Pity. A lot of ladies like it.

[solarcharged]

Are you suggesting the ladies liked you for your body and not your winning personality? [ Apollo gives Kovacs a look of surprise as they head in to the bar. It's completely empty, what with so many people still slowly making their way out of the meeting on deck one. ]

Is it weird? Adjusting to having a new face and a new body?

[resleeves]

It was weird waking up after two hundred years. The new face and body were fine.

( until he'd found out that he'd been put in ortega's ex boyfriend's sleeve. that was just fucked up and strange and coming from him, that was saying a lot. )

The first time was...jarring.

( because he'd gone from being a child to an adult in hours. it had been a lot. )
