[ This seems like as good a place to start out as any... Raleigh hasn't been the life of the party type for quite awhile (five and a half years, to be exact) but he does remember parties. They typically start with booze, and although he's slowly readjusting to engaging with people again, he knows he could use the help of a drink or two to relax a little. Replicator alcohol is disgusting so he gives a sniff to find what seems strongest, then just does a couple shots of that. Slams them, just getting it down so he doesn't have to taste it. Still, he's got a disgusted grimace as he turns away from the bar, eyes scanning the crowd to decide who he wants to approach first. Should anyone go for the bottle he just did he feels obligated to warn them off... ]
That stuff's like paint thinner, be careful.
002. gym
[ Maybe it's no surprise Raleigh winds up following the signs to the gym. He usually spends a good chunk of his time there anyway, working out, or in the library reading. There's something going on there, too, he's heard -- it seems like Jim set up something to do in every common location -- and maybe he'll swing by later, but when he enters the gym he hears laughter and shouting coming from the pool area and that sounds like fun, honestly. He strolls right up to the edge, grinning at the antics and not caring that he's getting splashed watching the game of chicken going on.
You know what, fuck it. He's feeling a little looser, he wants to play too, and glances around for a likely partner as he unzips his jumpsuit and reaches down to get his boots off. ]
Team up with me?
003. observation deck
[ When he drifts to the observation deck, hair still damp from the pool and smelling faintly of chlorine, he's not certain what to expect. He'd just heard "dancing," which isn't necessarily his thing and could tilt less or more so depending on the music. Luckily for him, when he steps out of the elevator the song that reaches him is soft and slow. Maybe it's switching up every couple of songs or something, to appeal to everyone, but this is more where he's at right now. He'd have to reach pretty far back into his memory to keep up with something hard and fast and close, and isn't sure he'd even want to anymore. But this?
Yeah, this he can do. He sends Mako a quick message to meet him up here and then moves to the window-side of the deck, leaning back on the rail to let himself settle a little. Anyone is welcome to ask him to dance. ]
004. wild card
[ Raleigh can also be found just wandering the halls deciding where to go next, observing a game or two happening on the command deck, or listening to the readings in the library. The only place he won't be found tonight is the hangar, he doesn't fight for the sake of fighting. When he fights to train, it's with people he trusts. When he drops by the chapel, he can in fact be talked into twister but he's not amazing at it. ]
