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. ]





[ it's a party and it's open for everyone!! post your tl's, tag around to others and just enjoy yourself. there's no sinister motive here except getting that sweet, sweet cr. if you want to wildcard something being at the party, plz feel free to do that within reason, of course! hit me up at [plurk.com profile] spoonishly for questions/plotting! ]

Haruto has never been invited to a party before. And, he supposes, by some definitions he still hasn't. He doesn't think it really counts when everyone on the station has been invited. But he'll take the chance anyway. Mostly observing, watching people dance and drink-- if anyone offers him alcohol, he'll wave it off with a quick, "Oh, no thank you. It doesn't do anything to me and I don't like the taste."

He spends most of his time either in the hallways or on the observation deck. But once he hears there's poetry reading in the library, he goes there. For a while he just sits in the audience, but eventually he gets up to the 'stage' and reads some haiku he's just made up on the spot. It's a bit different to make up haiku in English, but he at least does better than early neural networks.

The Operator was invited to a party a very, very, very long time ago. They think it went quite well. The Orokin would have probably disagreed.

They’re anticipating significantly less bloodshed this time around, though aside from that, they're not sure what to expect. Those in attendance are mostly humans, drinking, chatting, dancing, and occasionally sparring. The Operator wishes they could join in with that last activity, though they don’t trust this flimsy body not to fall to pieces at the first blow. Instead they stand on the sidelines, sipping cautiously at a drink they look way too young for. How did they get that anyway?

Overhearing a nearby attendee refuse a drink of his own, they look over curiously.

“Is it supposed to do something to you?”

That certainly is a child drinking something alcoholic... But Haruto knows well that looks can be deceiving so he won't try to take it away or anything just yet.

"Most people drink alcohol because it gets them drunk, or at least mildly "buzzed."

“Oh.”

They look down at the drink in their hand as if just realizing that it is, in fact, alcohol. That explains the taste. They look back up at the stranger, head tilting in curiosity.

“You’re immune to its effects?”

Haruto gives a little self deprecating smile and nods. "Fortunately or unfortunately."

And then, he goes on to explain a bit.

"Alcohol gets you drunk by acting as a depressant on the central nervous system. But my central nervous system isn't biological, so it can't be affected chemically like that."

The Operator perks up at what sounds like it might be familiar technology, though it sounds far more extensive than usual. Implants are one thing. But the entire central nervous system?

“You mean none of it is biological? How is that possible?”

Garion has to admit that the poem was... nice, enjoyable. But he wouldn't really call it a poem. And it was awfully short. As Haruto makes his way down from the stage, Garion has a nod of praise for him, but also a question.

"That's an odd sort of poem. Well spoken," he doesn't want to be rude! "but it seemed a little short, wasn't it?"

Miller had been trying to duck out of the party by coming here, but of course that awful space captain had seen to it that its festivities stretched the entirety of the station. It seems like it would be rude not to listen to the young man reciting his poem, suddenly reminded of the protestors on Ceres and for some reason it brings a soft smile to his face. He takes off his hat to listen to the poem, clutching its brim in his hands as his messy hair flops down in front of his eyes.

"Are you done? I don't wanna clap if you've got more."
