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?

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.

He's about to question that, with a raised brow when Alex explains. Bodhi glances down, at his arm for the first time and notes the lack of his sling. "So whatever happened to you healed the break? No further medical intervention."

A pause.

"How--?" He shakes his head. "Maybe get it looked at either way? Make sure the bone is set properly, and the like." Mysterious intervention might not be the best or most reliable means of healing.

Also, he doesn't know what to say to that.

"Wish I could, hoss, but we ain't got anything that could do an x-ray, let along a sub-dermal scan or anythin' like that. But I'm pretty sure it's healed. Not even sore a little bit."

He let out a breath.

"Trust me, it ain't like I wanted my arm broken, but it's creepin' me out."

"Yeah. Yeah... I mean..." A vague gesture, and he shakes his head. "I don't know. It's definitely really creepy." Bodhi thinks he'd feel the same. Except, it's not true, he probably wouldn't hold himself together half as well.

Creepy feels like an understatement, it's an exercise in horror, that's what it is - something like that shouldn't just happen. But it did, and he can't quite hide the shudder, thinking it.

"Hey, so - why don't we go down to the mess hall, or something, instead?" Get him out of this hall and away from his room where that horrible event took place.

He nods, swallowing, looking far too grateful for so simple an offer.

"Yeah. Yeah, if that's - if you don't mind, that is."

"Of course. I don't mind." Bodhi tries for a reassuring look and small nod. "I was going down that way, anyways. Come on." He's not really that hungry anymore, but with a hand on Alex's shoulder, turns to start leading them in that direction.

Alex isn't hungry either, but the companionship means more to him than anything else good, right now, and he lets Bodhi lead him on with complete ease and without complaint.

"Thanks," he murmurs lowly. "I'm a bit - on edge, you know?" Yeah, he was stating the obvious, maybe.

"Any - any of the doors try attackin' you, again?"

"It's okay. I think anyone would be, in your place." If he's honest, he is too. All Bodhi did was hear about it, and... it makes him wonder, just how much power whatever this place has over them.

At the change in the subject, he has to shake his head. "No, none of the doors have attacked me, unless you count the time I walked into mine the other night." A shrug. "But, I haven't really taken chances with the ones that are locked, since then."

"You walked into a door?" Honing in on the part he could worry about, he shot a glance at Bodhi.

"You alright?"

He would pick up on that. Bodhi waves the concern but follows the change in subject, there are no other marks on him - just the debris wound. "Fine, I'm fine. It was just after the space-walk, when I had got this. Either I forgot I hadn't actually opened my room door, or I believed I did, but-"

Embarrassing. He shrugs.

Alex offered a small, amused smile, though his brows were still stitched with worry.

"Sounds like just a tired night," He said, sounding relieved. "Just - if anythin' - if anythin' really bad happens, you call me, alright?"

"I think so." Bodhi agreed with a nod as they continued towards the hall. It was not really much compared to what had happened here today. Barely worth talking about beyond that. "I will, first thing." He only hoped that he wouldn't have to, but it was certainly giving him something more to worry about.
