you gotta fight for your right to party

» WHO? all ya'll!
» WHEN? sometime after the 15th
» WHERE? everywhere
» WHAT? house party!
» WARNINGS? i'd say blanket warning for language, maybe light violence, anything else, i'll update.

[ jim kirk wasn't the captain of this station. he wasn't even a ranking officer but he knows enough about people to know that, if you put them through the wringer over and over again, they're going to break without some sort of downtime. and jim's not about to be on a station where everyone's breaking down. no, he hadn't come back from death to die again.

so, he goes back to his roots. he goes back to the days where he'd spent all of his time in bars, hitting on pretty girls and boys, and getting into fights. maybe possibly they can cross out fights tonight but the rest of the stuff? nah, jim wants it all.

he trawls his way through the station to see what they have, first of all. and then he gets to work. the replicators don't serve great booze but it's booze nonetheless and he gets those flowing, filling bottles and glasses and sliding them out for anyone to have. he fiddles with the lights in the bar to make it more appropriate and even asks this new ai on board for some music. if that doesn't work, everyone's just going to be treat to him singing.

then, he pulls out chairs and benches from the rooms and lines the halls. he wants everyone to be together, to talk to each other and the halls seem like the most well traveled place. he draws signs that lead people to the pool where he's tossed a bunch of small things in to take the place of beach balls and toys. he even suggests chicken fights because who can resist a good chicken fight?

is it sacrilegious to see up makeshift twister in the chapel? oh well because that's where it is. dancing, he decides, is best for observation deck so he asks for a little more music filtered in there because who wouldn't want to dance with that beautiful backdrop?

on the command deck, jim rigs up some lights, making it more apt for a party and sets up a few tables with cards and other random things to signify money. if people want to do some gambling, lose their shirts, jim's not going to stop you. he prefers strip poker, really, but there are youngsters around so behave. somewhat. ringing the room, he finds spots to set up arm wrestling tables because who doesn't want to show off their strength? not jim, he knows so many people would beat him but maybe other people want to grab the title of 'strongest on the station.' jim will make you a medal and everything.

he wants to do something with the library but he doesn't want to wreck it. so, poetry readings. there's no mic but he does set up a chair to act as a stage and even pushes various other chairs around it to act as an audience. don't get too wild in here. the nonexistent librarian won't like it.

lastly, he finds himself in the hangar. there are shuttles in there that he doesn't want to break but it's a big space so fuck it, he goes for a fight club type atmosphere. people need to get the tension out somehow and while fucking likes bunnies would be ideal, asking for an orgy tonight would be too much. so, he draws chalk outlines of various rings for various different matches. he makes rules that say this isn't till the death, be fair, no hitting below the belt and, if jim were to get into the ring, you weren't allowed to mess up his hair.

he was the party organizer, he got to make the rules!

once everything seemed to be set up, he just started knocking on doors at random to get people out of their rooms and out into the open. this station was stupid but he wasn't going to let things fall apart without a fight. ]

[ clara is a surprising and altogether not unwelcome sight. his expression takes up some warmth as he leans against the bartop a little closer, almost conspiratory. ]

What can I say, I've got friends in high places. [ ha-ha. ]
oddbod: (he went to visit an old old friend)

[personal profile] oddbod 2018-09-09 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Guess I'll have to start schmoozing our captors a bit more. [A pause. She looks down at her drink.] Constantly criticizing their liquor selection probably isn't helping.
oorah: (☠︎032)

[personal profile] oorah 2018-09-10 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, in your defense it sucks. [ he takes a sip of his drink and grimaces as if to drive home his message. ]
oddbod: (delicate in every way but one)

[personal profile] oddbod 2018-09-14 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Clara laughs, honestly a little relieved to see him make that face. Just shows that her dislike of it isn't some kind of weakness.]

I've had more liquor on this station than I did in my entire life. [A realization that comes as she says it, surprising even her.] I was always more of a wine girl, myself.
oorah: (☠︎055)

[personal profile] oorah 2018-09-14 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? I can see it. I like rosé. [ he admits almost as an afterthought, cheeks flushed from the drink and the memory both.[
oddbod: (if we're still alive)

[personal profile] oddbod 2018-09-14 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh that's darling. Clara can't help but smile a bit wider.]

Cabernet, for me. I always liked how fancy and moody it felt.
oorah: (☠︎127)

[personal profile] oorah 2018-09-14 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
I'm gonna admit that I don't exactly know the difference. There's red, white and pink as far as I can tell.

[ but it's not like he doesn't miss a nice bourbon. this stuff is like paint thinner. ]

How does a drink feel moody?
oddbod: (it's burning in the bloodline)

[personal profile] oddbod 2018-09-14 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[She's an English teacher. She thrives on metaphors.]

It's like... You can't sip rosé while you look dramatically over a rainy moor from your manor window, you know?
oorah: (☠︎014)

[personal profile] oorah 2018-09-14 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he opens his mouth to answer but then just ends up laughing, a short bark but sincere all the same. ]

Can't say as I do, actually.
oddbod: (i get whatever i need)

[personal profile] oddbod 2018-09-14 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a very English past time.
oorah: (☠︎044)

[personal profile] oorah 2018-09-14 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
That explains that. Hell's Kitchen doesn't have an abundance of manors, last I checked.
oddbod: (i don't need to be saved)

[personal profile] oddbod 2018-09-17 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
What does it have? Are there just a lot of kitchens? [Her smile brightens a little more. Silly banter, just her specialty in a dark and dangerous place like this.] That's how I always pictured it. Like, a bunch of restaurants, full of shouty people.
oorah: (☠︎057)

[personal profile] oorah 2018-09-18 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
...No, that's pretty accurate actually.
oddbod: (cutting down the family tree)

[personal profile] oddbod 2018-09-18 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I know it. I'm an expert on America.
oorah: (☠︎135)

[personal profile] oorah 2018-09-19 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, is that right? You probably know better than me then.
oddbod: (daughter of the rain and snow)

[personal profile] oddbod 2018-09-19 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[She laughs, and swivels her stool a bit, feet dangling.]

I don't know, I've never actually been to New York. The guy I traveled with wasn't a fan.

[personal profile] oorah 2018-09-20 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Should I be taking offense right now?

[ he shakes his head. ] Nah, it's not for everyone. But those it is... it's ours for life.
oddbod: (i'll show you what that big word means)

[personal profile] oddbod 2018-09-20 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
He was a bit of a weirdo.

[But said with the utmost, almost wistful fondness.]

And I guess it would be nice to feel that way about a place. I always just wanted to leave England, ever since I was little.
oorah: (☠︎092)

[personal profile] oorah 2018-09-25 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Those are the only good ones.

[ he gets it, he misses his bestie too. ]

Yeah, guess I always wanted to leave too. That's why I joined up.
