001: Alex, Bobbie and Amos are Judging You
The Martians and the Earther are sitting at a table in the Mess Hall, and they've started a game. That game? To rate everyone else on the ship in order of attractiveness. Want to be rated? Find the comment header below, drop a picture in of your character, and watch the comments fly. Feel free to overhear them and give them hell.
002: Closed, Alex >> Frank
Going on the morning walk-about to search for Holden was ritual, at this point, and Alex was very used to Frank coming over first thing before they headed out. So the door was already open, waiting for him. Alex was fishing through his drawers, trying to find where he'd stashed that singular glove that he'd found, to show him for a laugh. But instead his fingers found something else - a thin sheet of plastic, creased and bent a hundred thousand times, and Alex's heart nearly stopped.
He pulled it out of the drawer like it was made of plutonium, careful not to touch the edges of the drawer with it.
Christ. Oh, Christ.
003: Open, Alex >> Anyone who wants to find this wrecked man.
He goes straight to the bar.
It's not that he isn't a fairly regular fixture there, anyway, but especially right now, all he really wants is to drink until he numbs everything. So hi, have a depressed Martian with a bottle of who knows what, sitting at the bar and just staring at a picture of a woman and a child smiling lovingly at the camera. He keeps stroking his thumb over it, then looking wrecked and saying something like 'god damn it' under his breath before he pours himself another drink. One of his arms is still wrapped up in a sling against his chest.
If he recognizes you, he might look up when you get close, and sigh. "Hey, partner. Everythin' alright?" Because it's a lot easier to worry about other people, than to keep being miserable about yourself.

That's a pretty big hurdle.
no subject
The guilt slips between his ribs in its easy, familiar way.
God damn it. ]
Maybe if I didn't have your lunky ass to drag around everywhere, it wouldn't be a problem. [ Defensive snark diversion tactic is go. ]
no subject
Amos raises an eyebrow, a half-smirk appearing on his face. Nice deflection method, especially since they both know that Amos actually helped Alex get there in the past. ]
You change your tune fast, don't you. Hit a nerve, did I?
[ Lunky ass? Two second ago you were telling him he could basically have sex with anyone. ]
no subject
It's because it's a stupid question, Amos.
no subject
No, it's just an honest question.
[ That Alex is too chickenshit to answer. And Bobbie's helping Alex stay behind his well-built defenses. It might be a Martian thing. Or maybe, as usual, Amos is the odd one out, here.
Amos shrugs, again, before taking another sip of his drink, grimacing. ]
Man, this shit tastes like piss.
no subject
Bobbie already had enough reason to think badly of him, if she wanted. The fact that she didn't was something he was very grateful for, but also didn't want to push. ]
If you gotta know, I've been told my taste in music leaves a lot to be desired.
[ There. Safer. Maybe. ]
Just drink more of it, you stop tastin' it after a while.
no subject
[But then she turns to Alex, considering him gravely.]
What kind of music are we talking about?
no subject
Look, I just happen to have a fondness for some good ol' martian country, but that taste don't seem to extend very far into the Belt.
no subject
That's it. That's the reason.
no subject
Really, Gunny? Even Mars ain't gonna keep my back?
no subject
I have your back in everything but this, sailor.
